Chapter 1674: The big pit will be dug soon
"The board has approved a quarterly cash dividend increase of 6% from the previous 16 cents per share to 17 cents. The resolution will take effect on March 1.
Despite the uncertainty of the global economic environment, we will continue to implement the established strategy, maintain a strong level of cash flow, and ensure the interests of shareholders through stock reviews and dividends. "
On the morning of February 26, Andy attended the press conference for the first time as the chairman of Qualcomm and announced the latest resolution of the board of directors to the outside world.
At the same time, it is also a disguised realization of the commitments made to the major shareholders when they first voted on the board of directors.
"Mr. Smith, there is news that you personally continue to increase your stake in Qualcomm. I would like to ask, is this news true?"
Andy, in a tight-fitting suit, sat on the podium with a smile and looked at the reporters who were taking photos below him. Hearing the reporter ’s question, he nodded slightly and replied, “Yes, I am optimistic about Qualcomm. The future development of the company is why I chose to acquire Qualcomm.
The current stock price is so low that it is completely undervalued, and of course I would choose to buy it. "
"Can it be considered that this is the best time to dip in US stocks?"
As soon as this question was asked, the reporters and staff members of the audience focused their scorching eyes on Andy on the podium. You know, now Andy Smith's reputation for financial genius is widely touted by the world, especially in the stock market. On the street, only when he is making a lot of money, people's opinions on Andy will be taken very seriously.
"Oh, this is what you said, I didn't say." Andy would not make such a laborious prediction, just shook his head with a smile and refused to answer this question.
It's just that I couldn't catch Andy Smith's chance to be honest with the interview. How could these reporters let him go, especially when the stock market is not good enough, and he actively acknowledged that the streets have fallen, and the US stocks have continued to fall. How can a financial genius who has made great achievements in the financial crisis stop without asking the people's attention.
"You shake your head to deny that, does it mean that US stocks will continue to fall? Mr. Smith, can you predict when the US stocks will rebound ..."
"Oh, I can't answer this question, because only God knows ..."
"Sorry, this is Qualcomm's press conference. Please don't ask questions that have nothing to do with the subject."
Faced with more and more questions from reporters, Andy smiled and turned to look at the press conference host who stood aside, slightly raised his chin to signal, and the host immediately said to the microphone.
"A reporter asked Mr. Buffett why he did not invest in technology-based industries. Mr. Buffett said that it was not his advantage. The person with the deepest knowledge of technology companies may not be among the top 1,000 and 10,000 in the world. He I think it ’s better to ask you than to ask him. He thinks you are the investor who knows the industry best. Mr. Smith, what do you think of Buffett and how do you think of him in the letter to investors in the previous two days, he acknowledged Did you make a mistake last year that caused Berkshire's performance to drop significantly? "
Andy, who was smiling and listening to the reporter ’s question on the podium, was asked a little by the reporter ’s pant-turned question and did n’t respond. Fortunately, only a moment, Andy shook his head and replied with a smile: “Thank you Mr. Buffett Praise, but I'm not an investment expert. As for Mr. Buffett admits that he made mistakes, the company's performance declines, and in the face of a decline in business activities like "ziyou fall", who can not make mistakes. In the century-old finance In the face of the tsunami, Mr. Buffett has done a good job. Everything will eventually pass, and I still have confidence in the future. Thank you. "
After Andy finished speaking, he stepped back slightly, got down, and stood up. He wanted to end this press conference that was getting more and more off-topic. When he stood up, the host also started to say the closing message of the press conference, but The reporters on the stage would not do it anymore. After hula hurrying, they left the table and rushed forward without any regard for the order on the scene.
The security guards at the venue immediately rushed forward, blocked the reporters in front of them, protected Andy's safety, and slowly moved towards the entrance of the passage. There were various questions around, and the scene was noisy ** Incomparably.
"What do you think of the future economy ..."
"Where is the turning point in the stock market ..."
"Citibank and zhèngfu reached an agreement to complete the nationalization in disguise. Your worry is becoming a reality. What do you think ..."
"Under the influence of the crude oil plunge and other factors, the price of gold futures has now fallen by 2.5 US dollars per ounce. This is also the third consecutive trading day for gold futures to fall since it regained the 1,000 US dollar mark on April 0. Mr. Smith, what do you think of gold The next trend ... "
Under the cover of security, Andy finally managed to move to the entrance of the passage, and then across the wall, in the flashing light, he said faintly: "beautiousihemarketwheisrisky! (Investment is risky, you must be careful when entering the market!)"
"Kaka Kaka"
Andy turned around and walked away, leaving only one back to reporters, with the sound of shutters rolling behind him.
Andy, who returned to the chairman's office, loosened his neck tie and sat on the boss chair. After lying lazily with his eyes closed for a while, he sat upright, moved the boss chair, and picked up the office. Open a folder and looked up.
The document contains detailed information on Qualcomm's mobile phone department. Next, he plans to separate the mobile phone department that has been very marginalized in Qualcomm, and then acquires a mobile phone company.
In order to promote cdma that year, Qualcomm produced cdma mobile phones by itself, with a complete and mature mobile phone production line and technical reserves. As long as the acquisition of Qualcomm's mobile phone department, it is essentially equivalent to the acquisition of a mobile phone manufacturer. May the fat and water flow into outsiders' fields?
In addition, he has been [] thinking about creating a large-screen mobile phone that is still inconspicuous by Apple. Of course, the most important thing is a series of appearance patents around the mobile phone, what bangs, what curved screen and other such as mobile phone cameras, R & D and application of patents for voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, etc., to build patent barriers, because from the point of view of Andy, the cash machine he will face in the future is not just Apple, but also four stars and all mobile phones in the world the company.
The sale of the mobile phone department has been decided by the board of directors. Near the water tower, the first month, and before competitors almost bid, it is easier for Andy to acquire the mobile phone department. There is no suspicion of internal transactions.
"Well ... what phone name do you want?" Andy frowned, thinking with a headache, banging his fingers on the table and muttering.
"Buzz"
At this moment, the phone on the desk started to buzz, interrupted Andy's thinking, picked up the phone and looked down, smiled slightly, and picked it up.
"My dear, is it over there?"
Andy leaned on the boss chair and heard Ivana's voice on the phone, smiling softly and saying, "It's over. I'll go back and pick you up soon. Are you ready?"
"There is nothing to prepare, well, then you come back quickly, I have something to tell you."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Andy asked curiously.
"Let ’s meet again, okay, I'll hang up, you hurry up."
"Okay, I'm leaving now." Andy stood up from the boss chair, talking on the phone, closing the folders on the desktop, and then found a few folders from the stack of folders on the side Together, after hanging up the phone, I grabbed a stack of folders in my hand, thought about it, and determined that nothing was missing, and walked outward.
After leaving the office, handing the folder to Martin, he took a group of bodyguards and took the elevator to the top apron.
"Da da da"
The propeller sound of the helicopter attracted the attention of the reporters who were outside the Qualcomm headquarters. Looking up at the sky one by one, their faces were disappointed, but many reporters raised the high-power lens camera in their hands and began to capture Shoot.
"Oh ~"
Andy stepping out of the helicopter, watching the blond hair standing in front of the ziyou city mansion bunched up casually, wearing a long blue loose round neck shirt, jeans and white shoes, Ivana, quickly walk Walked to her, grabbing her waist, and came to her with a kiss, laughing softly: "What's the matter, you have to meet to say?"
"My dear, I want to sponsor Nadia Surman's eight twins for two years. The vivid entertainment company is really disgusting, and this **** must not be allowed to succeed!" Ivana stunned Andy's Waist, walked into the city of ziyou together, and handed a newspaper to Andy.
Andy looked at the report in the newspaper, and couldn't help laughing.
