v5 Chapter 550: Opportunities from the new economy

After the Habibie government acted on the soldiers and police who participated in the anti-Chinese incident in May, it did not have any mercy at all. It caught and killed thousands of people, but did not make a high-profile announcement, and the charges used were also treason or rebellion. It is not accusing the other party of participating in anti-Chinese riots.

Fan Wubing felt a little staggered about this matter. He didn't expect Habibie to be so agile when he started his hands. With his promotion to the position of president as a technical officer, Fan Wubing felt that Habibie was somewhat weak. , But he didn't expect his methods to be so violent after he came to power, he would be cruel and cruel to rule out dissidents.

Seeing this, his current government can sit down smoothly.

In fact, the Habibie government also has reasons to act on these soldiers and policemen of different forces. Although Habibie was very close to the Suharto regime before, it cannot be denied that by the time of the anti-Chinese incident in May, he basically It is the betrayed party. Not only Suharto himself has ignored him, but Suharto's son-in-law and others are also secretly manipulating domestic forces to fall, so Habibi does have reason to retaliate.

It can be said that if Fan Wubing had not supported Habibie in Jakarta at the time, his current situation would be very embarrassing.

If it hadn’t been for Fan Wuyi to use tens of thousands of people to help Habibie control the situation in Jakarta, and to get rid of the high-level military personnel who went to the nearby base to shelter from the limelight, Habibie would not be what it is now. Scenery.

In the current situation in Indonesia, in addition to being unable to support itself economically, various political forces have been fully integrated by the Habibie government, and the control of the military has reached a relatively high level, at least in the vicinity of the city. On several big islands, alien forces have been wiped out.

This time, the liquidation of the executors of the May anti-Chinese riots is actually the attitude of the Habibie government after completing the division of power among the high-levels, and once again on a large scale that it is the controller of the current situation in Indonesia. .

Fan Wuyi was still a little proud in his heart. After all, he could move the political situation in Indonesia. This is something to be proud of. So he said to Boss Zhu, "The Habibie government is in danger, I think this person still has a certain In view of their current situation of seeking people, our country might as well communicate with them to expand their overseas influence. Since military bases can be leased to Americans, they should also be leased to Chinese people. Apart from other things, if you are willing to do this, I am willing to pay for it."

"Why did you suddenly give up money again? If you want to fund a military base, the money you need to invest is not a small amount!" Boss Zhu suddenly felt very surprised.

Fan Wubing has known him for a long time, and he is not profitable. He understands that every time he pays seemingly free, in fact, he has a plan and purpose. Today, he suddenly mentioned his willingness to sponsor. The military base matter was obviously purposeful, so Boss Zhu looked at Fan Wuyi carefully.

"With the development of the country and the increase in economic strength, the interest demands in ocean shipping will definitely increase in the future. The current Malacca Strait is very congested due to the narrow passage, and there have been repeated incidents of pirate hijacking. It is very unfavorable to shipping safety. Therefore, I think that in the future, large ocean freighters will change to Lombok Strait. Now that the Habibie government is in distress and the Americans are unable to take care of it, it is very important for us to step in and build our own military base. One is to train the troops, the other is to escort, and the third is to strengthen our presence in Southeast Asia. Influence, why not do it?"

What he said is indeed the key point. One is that Indonesia itself is a little bit burnt, and the other is that the Americans have really focused on the domestic economy. Not to mention the situation in Indonesia, the United States has recently been up and down in addition to paying attention to President Clinton's zipper door incident, but also in the midst of the new economic boom.

For the whole world, this year officially kicked off the merger and acquisition storm in the new economic boom.

Deutsche Bank, Germany’s largest commercial bank, and Bankers Trust previously jointly issued a press release, announcing that the former would acquire the latter for 9 billion U.S. dollars. The turnover of the two banks totaled 820 billion U.S. dollars. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in Germany reported that Deutsche Bank will become the world's largest commercial bank. This is also the largest foreign acquisition in the history of Bank of America.

Rolf Ernst Breuer, spokesperson for the Deutsche Bank board of directors, said that the acquisition has produced a company that truly provides global financial services. Frank Newman, president of Bankers Trust, spoke highly of the business combination of the two banks.

Bankers Trust is a bank that specializes in investment business. It ranks eighth in the United States and employs 15,000 people. Deutsche Bank employs 76,000 people. According to reports, after the acquisition, Deutsche Bank will jump from seventh to fourth in asset management, and the total assets under management will increase from 332 billion U.S. dollars to 632 billion U.S. dollars. The transaction side will improve its position.

Public opinion here believes that Deutsche Bank's move is mainly to enter the US investment banking market.

In addition, AOL, one of the world's largest Internet service providers, is currently negotiating the merger with Netscape Communications. According to the terms under negotiation, AOL will take over Netscape’s famous Web browser software, and will take over Netscape’s website and rename it Network Center.

In addition, Sun Microsystems has also participated in the acquisition. It intends to purchase Netscape's business software department and pay AOL a fee to use Netscape's technology. Netscape’s current capital market value is approximately US$4 billion. If a merger agreement is reached, Netscape’s value may rise.

To say that the online service industry is really fickle, not long ago, aT&T, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States, was still planning to acquire AOL, but I did not expect the wind to become so fast that the acquired AOL suddenly became In addition to the acquirer, the veteran browser manufacturer Netscape is in a mermaid position.

People who have been online earlier know that since 1995, when everyone was playing, it was because Netscape released a browser that made it simple and easy to use. Therefore, the Internet has become an easy-to-use thing for ordinary people. The space entered is extremely widely used.

However, in two or three years, all this has changed.

Aside from other things, from the perspective of ordinary Internet users, you may be able to feel the impact of this incident on future Internet exhibitions.

First, the Internet is for the masses. Only when the masses go online can businesses make money. If the masses do not go online or the Internet cannot become a part of people's daily lives, then all struggles will be meaningless. Secondly, no matter who it is, merchants want to make money, and merchants who don't want to make money at all are no longer called merchants.

Again, how do you make money? The Internet is quite special. A website can support everyone’s access in technical terms. If there is a website that can have enough visitors, whether from online advertising or e-commerce, it is possible to get rich Profit, even monopoly profit. Conversely, if a website has no or few visitors, then it is almost impossible to get revenue and profit.

AOL is not only the largest Internet access service provider in the United States, but also the most influential content service provider in the United States. Long before the Internet was widely used, AOL was the largest online service provider in the United States. At the end, it has an absolute advantage in access services.

However, there is still a problem with AOL. When users connect to it, there is no guarantee that AOL’s site will have a high traffic volume. The Internet is free. Everyone can go wherever they want. Therefore, AOL needs more. Of visitors stay on its website. The main reason for the acquisition of AOL this time lies in Netscape’s ter website, because there are a lot of visitors here instead of acquiring Netscape browser software, which is why the United States The reason why online is still continuing to cooperate with Microsoft's browser software.

Obviously, AOL wants visitors, not technology.

As for what Sun company wants to do, it is also very simple. At the beginning, Sun company mainly produced large computers. Later, their engineers developed a java software system. This software system can even run on the washing machine at home. All you have to do is call your washing machine at home, and it will It can work for you, but java is not only capable of these, it also has a wide range of applications in e-commerce, and e-commerce is an extremely important part of future online income, so for sun, as long as more people use it Based on java application software, Sun can make money by selling software and technology, and AOL may have an absolute majority of visitors.

All in all, the whole world is engaged in a wave of mergers and acquisitions, and this wave of mergers and acquisitions is just the beginning.

Fan Wubing is very clear that with the deepening of the new economic boom, the case of larger mergers and acquisitions is still to come. For example, AOL's acquisition of Time Warner with a merger value of hundreds of billions of dollars is absolutely absolute. The act of snake swallowing elephant.

"In general, all of the history of capitalist countries in the United States revolves around capital operations. Under the current situation, the big capitals in the United States are keen to engage in mergers and acquisitions and the promotion of the new economy. Interested in paying attention to the affairs of poor countries like Southeast Asia." Fan Wubing analyzed in depth to Boss Zhu, “So this is a great opportunity for us. The strong backlash from the Americans, as long as things are kept low-key, when the Americans react, we will have a firm foothold. When the time comes, we can attack and retreat, but it will not be easy to defeat."

Boss Zhu heard that Fan Wubing said so many things, but he thought about it for a long time, and then said, "What you said is very constructive, but there is also a problem now, that is, our country has always been For those who advocate an independent foreign policy of peace, if military bases are built overseas, the convenience of past propaganda will not be consistent, and it will easily cause attacks from hostile forces in Western countries, which will not end at that time."

Fan Wubing immediately shook his head and denied, "Political propaganda is used to deceive people. Going to build military bases overseas is better than others building military bases at our gates, right? As for what to say about attacks, etc. Don’t we sit still and others won’t attack? It’s impossible to be afraid of wolves and tigers."

"This matter needs a long-term plan. Even if you want to send troops to station, you need to find a name. It can't openly appear in the name of the military. I think it is better to establish an economic cooperation organization with Indonesia and stationed in the base under this name. A lot?" After Boss Zhu thought for a while, he suggested to Fan Wuyao.

"That's natural, everything needs to be modified. Once it is modified, the thinking will be broadened and the solution will be available." Fan Wubing smiled.

"But ~lightnovelpub.net~ I am more interested in what you said about the new economy. Are there any more systematic research materials for me to see?" Boss Zhu stopped and asked Fan Wuyao.

"I don't have any ready-made materials on this, and my views are likely to be quite different from those of mainstream experts." Fan Wubing replied. Although he knows the situation very well, he also knows the pros and cons of this era. But the materials are too specific, and I have never carefully sorted them out. Besides, some cases have not yet been born, so it is not easy to put forward as examples.

However, since Boss Zhu is more interested in this matter, and he has a background in economics, it should be more useful to sort out some things and add some notes of his own to show him.

Especially now that the country’s foreign exchange reserves are increasing rapidly, it is indeed a pity if so much money is not used for investment appreciation. You must know that if you are catching up with the express train of the new American economy, before the dot-com bubble burst, There is a lot of money to earn. It should be easy to quadruple the foreign exchange reserves of nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars.

So Fan Wubing agreed, saying that he would sort out a copy and give it to Boss Zhu, and would give him a copy of his financial investment analysis for reference.
