Lukou Airport.
Huang Xuan's Bentley is quite eye-catching. Although it is Zhang Xinyi's car that has been used for two years, it is a top-notch product costing 6 million yuan. It is well maintained. The black body is noble and elegant. Parked at the airport, it attracted a lot of attention.
Although it was not the first time for Dutoit to ride in this car, he still looked around with envy. Although his salary is quite high, Switzerland is also a legendary tax haven - he only needs to pay about 4% tax every year. But on the other hand, his salary is not very high in Switzerland. From this aspect To put it bluntly, spending nearly 1 million US dollars to buy a Bentley is something he absolutely cannot afford.
Hiring a driver in Switzerland costs at least US$40,000 per year, plus maintenance and postage, which is also a nightmare.
Huang Xuan poured a glass of red wine and joked: "How about it? Just resign from UBS and help me. I guarantee you can buy a Bentley within two years."
"Bentley is different too." Dutoit sighed, shook his head and smiled: "I still like working in a bank."
Huang Xuan shrugged, this was not a formal invitation in the first place.
"Mr. Huang." Li Qing said softly: "Mr. Yu Liye is also here. Mr. Tao Youlin's plane will land in about 10 minutes."
"OK, let's go over and see Yu Liye."
Li Qing braked gently, and Bentley slowly slid forward.
Yu Liye drove a Mercedes-Benz. He had the typical taste of Chinese rich people. He had his hair polished and his tie was meticulous. Even though he was over 60 years old, he did not look old.
Huang Xuan walked out of the car from a distance and said with a smile: "Boss Yu."
"Oh, Mr. Huang, I will call you boss from now on." Xinye Company has been completely acquired by Oracle. The total transaction amount exceeds 400 million US dollars, which is 6 times the market value of Xinye Company. Shareholders including Huang Xuan are Made a fortune. So Yu Liye is no longer Boss Yu. Even so, the six-fold increase in assets still makes him happy.
Theoretically, he will serve as a senior consultant to Oracle in Greater China, receiving a salary of 1 million yuan per year to help Oracle establish new departments or branches and become familiar with the Chinese market. In addition, he will receive an annual dividend of almost 100 million U.S. dollars in Oracle stock. It will also exceed 10 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the market value of his company six months ago. If you don't want to retire here, you can spend a little money to open a small company.
Huang Xuan shook hands with Yu Liye, pointed at Dutoit with a smile and said: "This is Mr. Charles Dutoit from the Union Bank of Switzerland." Then he introduced to Dutoit: "Mr. Yu Liye, please The boss of an industrial company now owns shares in Oracle.”
The three of them all laughed. Yu Liye's English was not good, so he just shook hands with Dutoit, and the latter turned back to the car. Yu Liye said with emotion: "There are still many talents around Mr. Huang. I have worked hard." For most of my life, you have not been worth as much as a month, Mr. Huang. I think the best time in my life was when I bought your program."
He diluted about 0% of his equity, but his assets increased in value by 6 times. No stock can match such an increase.
Huang Xuan smiled and said: "That is a good foundation you have laid. In fact, if you are willing, we can jointly build a company. The profits from the Internet business seem to be very good now, and I still have products on hand. If you I don’t think the shares are small, but there are still many opportunities for cooperation. ”
Yu Liye was immediately moved. He knew that as long as Huang Xuan signed the contract today, his assets would immediately increase by more than 0 billion. He would not think about the little money he had. The only thing to worry about was the business status.
"Are you going to make an online game or a portal?" Yu Liye was talking about the two most popular ones right now.
"Whatever you want." Huang Xuan chuckled twice and said, "Basically, I have a lot of programs, games and website planning on hand. I will give them to the company and divide them according to the sales."
Using sales share means that the value of brand growth can be divided between two people. This is naturally a good condition for Yu Liye. He immediately nodded and said: "I still have more than 0 million on hand, how about making an upfront investment?"
"That's enough." Huang Xuan patted Yu Liye on the shoulder and said, "You first inspect the market to see what you need, and then I'll try to see if I can find it." What he said was the truth. There are now 5 million in the buffer zone. , it’s much more exciting to find things.
In fact, among the planes, the most valuable thing is always the plane itself. It does not mean that money in low-level planes is not valuable. In fact, in the plane era, what is valuable is always physical objects, not technology, etc. Only high-level ones are valuable. Only planes will pay a lot of money to improve their technology level. Low-level planes are more willing to travel through the planes and produce raw materials in exchange for these technologies. It is also difficult for high-level planes to exploit low-level planes because technology is too easy. Won.
Therefore, although the U.S. dollar cannot be exchanged for energy circles, and the energy of one thermal circle is equivalent to 100 US dollars in electrical energy, the food purchased with 1 dollar can also be exchanged for more than 10 thermal circles or even more plane standard currencies. , the actual problem with this kind of transaction is that a large number of transactions will always reach the limit at a certain time, that is, P11 can no longer produce more food, or the R plane can no longer produce more energy. Of course, Now Huang Xuan will not have similar problems.
The problem faced by those travelers is that travel requires cost investment, and to occupy a plane, you need a plane base, and be on guard against those who may have your own ideas at any time. Nowadays, few are so courageous. Sir.
Buying planets in other people's planes is also a very profitable method, but it is also a costly method. People envy the Rongguang people. One person can own countless planes of planets. After operating for tens of thousands of years, that asset will Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Yu Liye didn't know what Huang Xuan was thinking. He only thought that Huang Xuan still had some valuable programs hidden in his hands. Although he didn't know where these things came from, he was always someone who had experienced Ellison's $450 million quotation. Huang Xuan is also full of confidence.
How did he know that Huang Xuan was actually thinking about making money now.
After waiting for only a few minutes, he saw a dozen gentlemen in suits walking over. Huang Xuan cheered up, called Dutoit out again, and smiled at Yu Liye: "Tao Youlin this time Come on, we can’t let him go.”
Yu Liye also smiled, and the three of them stepped forward to greet him.
…
International Trade Building.
There are some imitation official kiln porcelain in Huang Xuan's office, which can deceive a few foreigners. Unfortunately, the vitality of porcelain is quite low. Otherwise, a batch can be resold directly from the Northern Song Dynasty.
Aubrey and two other bankers also came to China with Tao Youlin. They are to supervise the performance of the contract between Oracle and Hexin Industrial. Once the stock is officially traded, these assets will also be placed with Citigroup as collateral. In a bank safe.
Tao Youlin still has short hair that is about an inch long, a dark blue Dunhill suit, and piercing eyes. He is also a representative of the American dream. With his own ability, he strives for survival, from China to the United States, and from the United States to China. Today's position as President of Oracle Greater China has also entered the true golden-collar class.
Looking at Huang Xuan with serious eyes, Tao Youlin showed a very Chinese smile and said: "I think Mr. Huang must be looking forward to today's signing as much as I am."
Huang Xuan looked at Aubrey and smiled: "Aubrey is also looking forward to the same thing as us."
Everyone immediately laughed.
Because it is a private equity transaction, there is no troublesome thing such as holding a press conference. Enough people know about Huang Xuan's loan of 10 billion U.S. dollars, and he is not very happy to announce all his asset status. The first phase of Blu-ray sales does not require a lot of advertising support.
The lawyer Tao Youlin brought with him wanted to explain the terms inside to Huang Xuan. He waved his hand impatiently. With Luo Lin here, why would he need to read the contract.
In the surprised eyes of the Oracle gentlemen, Huang Xuan signed his name, which meant that the patent rights of US$450 million were successfully transferred, and he would also hold 6.5% of Oracle's shares.
Even though it was a bit strange, Oracle certainly hoped that the signing would be smoother. Tao Youlin put the pen in his pocket with a smile and shook hands with Huang Xuan warmly. He did not expect that things would go so smoothly. The successful signing of the contract also means that he will have two unique password programs and a database system that exceeds the standard. Although the latter has to be shared with the head office, the former has been stated to be used by Greater China for six months. He believes that this It was enough time for him to get enough results.
Aubrey and his staff started to deal with the issue of loan collateral renewal in a hurry, while Huang Xuan pulled Tao Youlin over and said, avoiding others: "What are Mr. Tao's plans in China?"
Tao Youlin was stunned for a moment, and said with a harmonious expression: "At first, we will continue the work of our predecessors, but just like other foreign companies, our work focus will gradually shift to the mainland."
Huang Xuan's question was actually just to open a topic. He changed the subject and said, "I know Oracle has always been a major player in enterprise-level optical storage. What do you think of Blu-ray discs?"
"It's very beautiful and expensive." Tao Youlin responded to Huang Xuan's direct question with a smile: "Mr. Huang, Blu-ray technology is not mature enough. Compared with the 5G capacity of a single disc, it is too expensive."
Sony's limited investment in Blu-ray discs in the US market is priced at US$49.99 per disc. Compared with the US dollar price of DVD discs, the gap is too obvious, and it does not have enough production capacity to actually provide it.
"What you mean by that is that Oracle is still interested in Blu-ray?"
"This is natural, but as a business software provider, we should provide customers with cost-effective products, but the extra cost due to the single-disc volume of 5G Blu-ray is really too high."
Double-disc DVDs can also provide 14G capacity for only $5. Enterprise-level optical storage requirements often require hundreds or thousands of discs. Especially in database applications, to save tens of terabytes of information, there must be a cheaper storage method that is far lower than hard disks.
When the price per G is 6 times different, the appeal of Blu-ray is reduced to the minimum. Its average price per G is even equivalent to that of enterprise-class hard drives. What's more, with HD and BD still in a state of competition, companies are quite hesitant about whether to buy BD or HD. They are unwilling to invest too much money in advance on equipment that may be eliminated. Facts have proved that this caution is useful, many companies that spent millions of dollars to purchase HD, eventually had to shelve it again and spend a similar amount of money to buy BD.
Huang Xuan understood Tao Youlin's concerns from countless information and shrugged: "So what if the price per gigabyte of my Blu-ray disc is only 0% more than a double-disc DVD, but it can provide a capacity of 50G?"
Tao Youlin's first thought was "How is it possible?" Huang Xuan borrowed 14 billion U.S. dollars to invest in the Blu-ray industry. Many people are foolish, but no matter what the gentlemen in the mall think, they all have considerable understanding of Blu-ray. At least understand what the most advanced technical indicators are now - 5G capacity, 40 US dollars (bulk supply), and a monthly supply of 1 million pieces. This is what Sony does its best to achieve.
Of course Xiao Tao would not express his thoughts like that, but his eyes betrayed him.
Huang Xuanxiao felt proud, lowered his voice, made a mysterious look, and said: "You know, 10 billion US dollars can do anything."
As he spoke, he wrinkled his nose.
Tao Youlin smiled in surprise and said, "It is said in the industry that you have registered more than 1,000 patents. Is this true?"
"Actually, there are more than 000, and they come from a wide range of sources. I won't tell you the specifics." Huang Xuan straightened his chest and said: "Now double-sided DVDs provide 14G capacity, which is about less than 5 US dollars. I made it fresh and hot. Blu-ray DVD is only US dollars, which is basically a bargain price, so why should you hesitate?”
Tao Youlin was really moved.
Historically, 5G Blu-ray discs have been priced around US$18 and have been supported by many enterprise users because large-capacity discs can reduce management difficulty and storage costs. However, at that time, the competition between HD and BD was almost over, and Blu-ray disc drives The prices of Blu-ray players and Blu-ray players are already very low. In order to make up for these disadvantages, the price proposed by Huang Xuan is also the real cost price.
Tao Youlin rubbed his chin with his hand and said after a moment: "It is indeed very tempting, but I can't accept a one-time investment that is too high now."
"It's not a big deal." Huang Xuan smiled like a fox and just flicked his tail. He said with a smile: "As long as you sign a long-term supply contract with me, I guarantee that Sony will supply Blu-ray drives at cost price. It’s for you, and it must be specially made to meet your requirements.” (To be continued)
