v2 Chapter 522: Seeking support from the founding of a n
Since the spaeX company's rocket recovery experiment, Henry has accelerated the acquisition of other companies. If Henry establishes a country, then he has to buy other companies, he will not be so arbitrary.
Cisco was negotiating with Lucent some time ago, and finally completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Lucent on January 20 for $30 billion.
After the acquisition of Lucent, it can cooperate with Qualcomm to develop 4G networks at a faster speed. In Henry's plan, in the future, 4G will be used as the entry point to allow Williams Telecom to enter various countries in the world. The construction cost of 4G network is not low, and many telecommunications companies have no funds or are not low. Williams Telecom’s approach is to help them build 4G networks to control local telecommunications companies.
Everyone should know what kind of profiteering industry telecommunications is. Television, Internet, and telephone are all the business of telecommunications companies. There are countless telecommunications companies with tens of billions of dollars! Moreover, there are many merger cases in the telecommunications industry. In business history, Vodafone Telecom of the United Kingdom acquired Mannesmann Telecom of Germany, which involved nearly 400 billion German marks, or about 185 billion U.S. dollars.
Henry did not let Williams Telecommunications Company buy other large telecommunications companies, mainly because it was too expensive. He would rather buy a medium-sized telecommunications company, and then cooperate with the 4G network and iPhone to grab users. If the Android system is to be launched in the future, the company under Henry's name must be the first to launch an Android smartphone. There is no doubt that Android smartphones were also first distributed to Williams Telecom and its subsidiaries for promotional use. Henry didn't believe it anymore. After such a series of plans, the telecommunications company is still afraid that it will not develop? ?
Opening the market at a small enough cost and monopolizing it is what Henry hopes to see.
There is huge competition in Europe and America, and Williams Telecom is able to grab more market share with iPhone and 4G. Although China has a large population, telecommunications can only be operated by state-owned enterprises, and Henry has nothing to play. In the future, the most competitive markets are South America, India, Southeast Asia and Africa. However, South America is experiencing the frantic rise of a telecommunications giant at this moment, and this is the very famous Mexican American telecommunications company.
In 2000, Mexico America Telecom was established in Mexico City and is a leading operator in Latin America. In 2007, the company will become the largest company in Latin America, surpassing Petrobras and other giants in terms of market value. The company’s controller Carlos Slim Elu even counterattacked Bill Gates once and became the richest man! ! !
For a company that is growing so fast, Henry naturally hopes to acquire its shares. Subsequently, Henry asked Carlos Slim Helu to send out an invitation to acquire, and proposed to acquire 70% of the Mexican American Telecom Company for 30 billion US dollars! However, Henry was rejected that day. The Mexican American Telecom Company has formed a monopoly in Mexico, and its industry has also covered Latin America. Its business is booming and it is not willing to sell at all.
Henry frowned and gave a reply: "Accepting my investment, Mexico American Telecom Company can monopolize the entire Latin America, otherwise, it will be an enemy of Williams Telecom Company!!!" Henry gave a cruel remark, although it is stuck. Los Slim Helu is very good in Mexico, but in Henry's eyes, it is still not enough! More than March, the Iraq War broke out. Henry is now in a hurry and does not want to talk nonsense with him. In short, he is either a friend or an enemy!
Carlos Slim Helu was very hard-hearted and even expressed disdain for Henry. He sent an e-mail to him with such a simple sentence written in it.
"Mexico is my place!!!"
The implication of this sentence is that you Henry Williams is nothing great, I am not afraid of you, I am a local snake in Mexico, if you are a dragon, you have to hold it for me, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down for me. So... In fact, he was declaring war on Henry!
Henry finished reading the email, couldn't help but smiled contemptuously, without saying anything.
Three days later, Williams Telecom spent US$2 billion to acquire Iusaell, Mexico’s third largest mobile operator. The next day, Iusaell changed its name to Williams Telecom. On the day of the name change, people in Mexico entered the stores one after another, replaced their mobile phone cards, and became users of Williams Telecom.
"Ah, Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, has entered Telecom Mexico. Don't think about it. His company's service is definitely the best!!!"
Many people in the world have already blindly worshipped Henry, just because his achievements are too unreasonable, which is not something that a normal person can do. Every company he created is in the leading position in the industry, and there are hundreds of companies in the world's top 500 companies that belong to him. I can't believe it. But this is the case. In addition to worship, everyone worships! ! !
Iusaell changed its name and became Williams Telecom. Although the service is still the previous service, its status is immediately different. People believe in the brand "Williams" and are willing to open an account with Williams Telecom!
As a result, Henry hadn't made much effort, and instantly snatched about 10% of the Mexican American Telecom Company's market in Mexico.
Carlos Slim Elu looked violent after seeing the data report. An employee said to him: "Chairman, I can't blame American Telecom for failing, but blame the other party for being too powerful! The four words'Williams' alone are worth trillions of dollars..." After that, the name A hint of helplessness flashed across the employees' faces.
"What has happened to Williams Telecom these days?" Carlos Slim Ellu asked in a deep voice.
"Nothing happened, Henry Williams just changed the name of the Iusaell company, and then it seemed to be ignored..."
"No matter?" Carlos Slim Elu couldn't help frowning. The more Henry was like this, it made Carlos Slim Elu more worried.
However, news suddenly came a week later that Henry bought 65% of the shares of Oi, Brazil's largest fixed-line operator and the fourth largest mobile operator, for US$10 billion.
When Carlos Slim Helu heard the news, his first reaction was that he couldn't believe it and could not help but mumbled: "Mexico America Telecom once proposed to acquire 50.1% of Oi's shares for 8 billion U.S. dollars. Ken agreed, and now Henry Williams has bought 65% of Oi's shares for $10 billion. How is this possible?"
Brazil is an extremely huge market. First, its comprehensive strength ranks first in Latin America, and its economic structure is very close to the level of developed countries. Second, Brazil has a population of nearly 200 million. No matter which telecommunications company it is, it is eyeing the Brazilian market.
Henry is also willing to spend more money to acquire Oi, the Brazilian telecommunications giant. Later, based on Oi, it expanded outward and occupied the entire South America. In fact, Henry not only spent 7.5 billion US dollars to acquire Oi, but also promised to take the lead in helping Oi Telecom establish a 4G network in Brazil. At the same time, he also gave Oi Telecom an exclusive iPhone contract machine. It has been less than two months since the release of the iPhone, so there is no need to hide it. When the negotiator sent by Henry was negotiating with the Oi company, he showed off the iPhone, which is a magical device, and immediately suppressed everyone in the other party.
"As soon as the iPhone comes out, the number of Oi users will surely increase!"
At this moment, the negotiators of Oi Telecom looked at each other, and they all had the same idea in their hearts!
Therefore, the next negotiations went smoothly, and the price was also greatly reduced.
Oi Telecom is well-known in Brazil and even in South America, so Henry did not change its name after being acquired, but only exists as a subsidiary of Williams Telecom. However, in order to show its identity, Oi Telecom’s signs are printed with the "Williams" logo.
In less than a month, Henry has established a telecommunications company in South America, mainly Oi Telecom.
In Southeast Asia and other places, Henry is mainly based on Hong Kong Telecom, and currently has 40 to 50 million users in Southeast Asia and other places, which is quite influential.
In India and Africa, Henry has not yet established a telecom operator, and it is completely blank. However, Cisco and Lucent almost monopolize the telecommunications equipment in India and Africa. Although India and Africa are relatively poor, Henry pays more attention to these two major markets and let Cisco get in early. There are too many African countries and they are rather chaotic. Let alone, after the founding of Madagascar, there will be opportunities. On the Indian side, Henry has already set his sights on a target, and that is the Bharti Telecom Brazil Imperial Telecom! The company's name is awesome, and its strength is naturally not bad. As far as Henry knows, Bharti Telecom will become the leader of the Indian mobile communications market in the future, and its market share in the fixed network market will rank second, only lagging behind the Indian state-owned operator BSNL. In 2014, the number of Indian Bharti Telecom users exceeded 300 million, making it the third largest mobile operator in the world, second only to China Mobile and Vodafone.
Compared with the competition of three operators in the Chinese communications market, the Indian communications market is much more lively. There are as many as a dozen operators participating in the market competition. However, as a private enterprise, Badi Telecom can finally get out of the siege. It shows that it is extraordinary. If Henry acquires Bharti Telecom now, it will be a very good investment. In the future, India’s population will surpass China, with a population base of 1.5 billion. The telecommunications industry is naturally a very profitable business. With the support of Bharti Telecom, Cisco, Lucent, and Qualcomm products can also be sold to it, and it can further consolidate the position of Apple and Internet companies in India under Henry's name!
You know, although Apple can help telecom operators increase users, at the same time, telecom operators can also help Apple sell mobile phones. The two complement each other. Henry bought so many telecommunications companies, plus other Williams stores, department stores, supermarkets and Nicholas International e-commerce company, etc., with the joint efforts of all channels, how many mobile phones can he sell? Oh, it's hard to imagine!
When Henry acquired Oi Telecom, he also issued a letter of intent to Bharti Telecom. He wanted to spend 8 billion U.S. dollars to acquire Bharti Telecom. At this time, Bharti Telecom was still a medium-sized telecommunications company and faced severe challenges. Competitive pressure, 8 billion US dollars is not a small amount, and Henry only needs 60% of their shares.
Paldi Telecom actually doesn't need to think too much. If you go to Henry, you are going to the God of Wealth. The funds, resources and channels are unparalleled. Therefore, Bharti Telecom quickly agreed to Henry's acquisition request. On the third day of Henry's acquisition of Oi Telecom, he also successfully acquired Paldi Telecom. The first thing to do next is to put a stamp on the Badi Telecom Company, put the "Williams" LOGO on it, and declare the owner ~ the right to own it!
After a series of acquisitions, Henry currently owns Williams Telecom (including Iusaell), Brazil's Oi Telecom, Hong Kong Telecom, and Bardi Telecom, which basically meet Henry's global telecommunications layout requirements. In addition, Africa is also very important. Madagascar and Africa face each other across the sea. If Africa develops and the people have high spending power, they can also profit a lot from it! In the future, Africa may become a dumping ground for Madagascar's products.
Henry's multiple acquisitions ~lightnovelpub.net~ are shocking.
The media said: "Henry Williams has acquired a number of telecommunications companies around the world, and is about to build a telecommunications empire!!!"
However, just when everyone thought Henry was going to stop the acquisition.
On February 10th, Henry spent US$16 billion to fully acquire Nvidia Corporation. Nvidia is a leading manufacturer in the global graphics technology and digital media processor industry, and it is a world-renowned Fortune 500 company!
On February 19th, Henry spent another US$24.5 billion to acquire Applied Materials. This is the world’s largest nanomanufacturing technology company. It has taken the lead in the field of semiconductor production equipment for many years. This will greatly improve the level of chip manufacturing. Quality, reduce production costs! With this company, you will no longer have to rely on other companies to manufacture chips in the future, and the equipment used is the best in the world!
On February 28th, Henry spent another US$32 billion to acquire the US information storage information technology company EMC (Easy Anxin). This company’s main business is information storage and management products, services and solutions, especially in cloud computing. In terms of technology, it has a very unique technology. And after the acquisition of EMC, its subsidiary VMare also belongs to Henry. VMare is a virtual machine software, it is the world's leading manufacturer of desktop to data center virtualization solutions, the future market value of up to more than 30 billion US dollars, in short, is also the world's top 500 companies.
