The name of united-telemuniations is too long, Li Zetian still likes to call it sprint.
Preliminary estimates put sprint's market value at around $2.5 billion.
Umbrella has $500 million in reserves and should be able to acquire it. In addition, Li Zetian already owns Wells Fargo, so borrowing and acquiring is not a problem.
Seven Bell companies monopolize more than 80% of the local local telephone business, followed by the largest local telephone company, the American gte company, which is independent of att. As for sprints, it may not be able to squeeze into the first ladder. However, sprint focuses on technology research and development, and is a step ahead in optical fiber communication networks.
Li Zetian is more inclined to have an engineer culture and technology-oriented enterprises. Throughout history, the market is often subverted by new technologies, so it is inevitable that sprint can rise. Founded in 1899, print has a long history. The company's shareholders are very scattered, and even the highest shareholder's shares do not exceed 10%. Many shareholders hold shares just as an investment. If someone buys at a high price, they are naturally willing to sell their shares. Therefore, this gives Li Zetian an opportunity. He plans to secretly let people contact sprint's shareholders, buy their shares, wait until the shares exceed 50%, then disclose his identity as a major shareholder, announce financing plans, invest huge sums of money to dilute the shares of other shareholders, and further control more shares .
It will take some time for a secret acquisition, and when they acquire their shares, they can also be acquired in the name of other companies. If they know that Li Zetian wants to acquire their shares, they will definitely ask for a huge price.
Right now, the US National Science Foundation has just started to build the nsf network, so Li Zetian doesn't need to worry too much.
While he was paying close attention to the acquisition situation, he was thinking about how the sprint company should develop in the future. Li Zetian's understanding of the future telecommunications industry is only a rough idea, but since he has invested in a telecommunications company, he has to develop and grow it carefully.
Li Zetian looked at the development models of many telecommunications companies at home, and then combined with his memories of his previous life, he began to make a future plan for sprint.
First, establish a global optical fiber communication network, and develop long-distance telephone services while developing the Internet, but long-distance telephone calls are not the focus.
Second, try to seize the "last mile", acquire or cooperate with local telephone companies, and strive to achieve "fiber-to-the-home".
Third, to establish wireless base stations and develop wireless communication services, European gsm or Qualcomm's cdma networks are all good choices. In the future, everyone has a mobile phone, and wireless communication is very important!
…
Li Zetian just wrote a general development policy. As for the specific content, he, a layman, will leave it to professionals to solve.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month later, Li Zetian successfully acquired more than 50% of the shares of sprint, spending 500 million US dollars. Subsequently, he and Dongfang Yuqin came to sprint company.
Although it is said to be a secret acquisition, there is no airtight wall in the world, and some people are reluctant to sell their shares, so the news spreads in a small area. But while sprint knew someone was secretly buying their stake, it didn't know who was buying it and how much.
At this time, when Li Zetian came to the company, people couldn't help but feel very shocked.
"It is rumored that someone has secretly acquired our company's shares recently? Is it chronos·li?"
"I think it's very possible! Otherwise, why would chronos li suddenly come to our company?"
"… "
The employees were talking.
Soon, sprint CEO Edgar Carr and other executives came.
"Hello, Edgar Carr, CEO of elemuniations."
Edgar Carr spoke in a respectful tone. At this time, he has realized that Li Zetian may be the person behind the secret acquisition of sprint shares. The reason why he came to the company this time should be that he has enough shares in his hands. In other words, he will be the new boss of sprint in the future. !
Li Zetian nodded with a smile, he knew all about the sprint executives, "Well, hello, Edgar Carr, please call all the company's key executives to the conference room!"
Edgar Carr hesitated for a while. Li Zetian hadn't announced his identity yet, but he gave orders like this, which made Edgar Carr a bit difficult to handle. However, Edgar Carr did not hesitate for long and followed Li Zetian's wishes.
"Okay, mr·li, I'll ask the secretary to inform everyone right away! Please come with me to the conference room." Edgar Carr said, winking at the secretary.
Before long, more than twenty people gathered in the conference room.
Li Zetian sat in the first position on the right, glanced at everyone, and said indifferently: "Yes, as everyone guessed, I asked people to buy the shares of united-telemuniations company. So far, I have owned 2% of the shares!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar.
Everyone did not expect that Li Zetian had secretly acquired so many shares and already had absolute control.
At this time, Dongfang Yuqin took out the equity transfer contract from the document bag and showed it to Edgar Carr. After Edgar Carr read it, he nodded to everyone and said, "Mr.li does own 2% of the company's shares! "
After speaking, he immediately stood up and gave way to Li Zetian, "mr·li, you are the boss of the company, please take your seat."
Li Zetian waved his hand and let him continue to sit there, "It's okay, you continue to sit, I'll just say a few words, and then leave."
Edgar Carr nodded and took his seat again.
Li Zetian said at this time: "It's very simple. First, let everyone know me. From today, I am the new chairman of this company. Second, the united-telemuniations company changed its name to sprint, and the product brand and company brand are related. Combined, it's good for branding; third, I'll inject $1 billion into sprint later to accelerate the company's growth."
"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Oh, yes, Galaxy Network Company has strong strength in network technology development, and the two companies can strengthen cooperation! For example, this time to build a nationwide optical fiber communication network, you can find Galaxy Network Company for optical fiber cables and telecommunication equipment. "Li Zetian suddenly said, the so-called "fertile water does not flow to outsiders' fields", and the optical fiber cable and telecommunication equipment must naturally choose Galaxy Network Company.
Everyone nodded, no objection. They all know that Galaxy Network Company is Li Zetian's business, who would dare to object? Besides, Galaxy Networks does have a strong competitive edge in the networking field.
"In addition, I think we should also start to establish a global optical fiber communication network, which can lay a submarine optical fiber cable on the west coast to Asia, and lay a submarine optical fiber cable on the east coast to Europe!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being shocked by Li Zetian's generosity. Worthy of being the richest man in the world, he made an extraordinary move.
However, how do they know that Li Zetian did this to allow Asia and Europe to connect to the US Internet as soon as possible.
"Okay, that's it!" After Li Zetian finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to everyone.
As soon as Li Zetian and his party left, the sprint company felt like it was fried, and it was very lively.
"Oh god, Chronos·li has really become our boss? Oh, this is unbelievable, it's so good! It feels like a special face to wear a sprint company badge in the future!!!"
"It's true! Our company is not ordinary now, and it is finally arrogant! This time, chronos·li injected 1 billion US dollars into sprint company at once. In the future, our company will not have to develop as fast as a rocket! We are not afraid to compete with att!!!”
"… "
In fact, when the news of the united-telemuniations company's change of ownership came out, it immediately caused a shock in the industry. Even a telecom giant like att couldn't help feeling like a great enemy, because the boss of the other party was Li Zetian, a man who wrote countless myths. a legendary person! ! !
On the same day, the share price of att company fell by 5%, which made people snort secretly!
It's unprecedented for one person to scare a telecom giant like this...
