"If it's just a city on the sea, how should we organize the network?"

Catherine suddenly thought of a very serious question...

At sea... there is no internet!

This problem gave Catherine a headache.

Without the Internet, this would definitely be a pain in the ass, and according to Catherine’s idea, the city can still float around, not even undersea optical cables!

Wouldn't this be a big problem?

"It would be great to have quantum communication technology..."

Catherine couldn't help but murmured. But she probably also knew that this technology could only be developed step by step.

However, it cannot be said that there is no such thing. In the 21st century, China has already mastered the technology of quantum communication, but it is not known exactly what step the other party has taken.

"The prototype city has a downward cone in the middle, and you can enjoy the sea view, which is really good... But building such a city will be very expensive, right? Kate, will this plan be too..."

"Well...so it's a century-old plan..."

Catherine also knew that this plan was too far-fetched.

But if I plan to invest 10 billion and divide it into 100 years, I can only invest 100 million every year.

It will be good to demonstrate and study theoretically now, and then determine the construction of the entire city through deeper research and planning.

"To put it this way, Kate, what kind of puppet you will be in the future, how are you going to control it?"

How to control?

Catherine was stunned.

"How...control...?"

Catherine made a fuss.

This is really an issue worth discussing.

"Probably through the wireless network..."

Just as she said this, Catherine shook her head.

Although the wireless network is available, I am going to China, and there is no wireless network in China!

"Hey... by the way, Iridium network! We can use the Iridium network to control it!"

This generation of Iridium satellite network does not count. If you want to count it, you should start from the next generation and set aside a separate bandwidth in the Iridium satellite network to connect yourself 24 hours a day. By then, you can appear anytime, anywhere.

Anywhere on the earth... Of course, the puppet must be there...

But anyway, Catherine felt that this was the end of the plan.

"Well. Regarding this matter, Elsa, please inform the station for me.

Aft, by the way, contact Hive Labs again about the plans for the next generation of Iridium satellites. We need to make some corrections."

This feeling of avatar makes Catherine very enthusiastic. For this reason, Catherine has decided to do whatever it takes...

"All right."

Elsa picked up the phone and started to notify.

Catherine, on the other hand, picked up the report about Kodak.

Kodak's board of directors has begun to contact them, and they feel that they can give up part of their shares to Catherine.

Facing such a wise Kodak, Catherine also smiled.

I originally thought it would be a complicated matter, but now I didn't expect it to be so simple.

Catherine has money, especially cash.

Catherine has tens of billions in cash, which is even six or seven times higher than Kodak's market value. For Catherine, it is not too easy to acquire Kodak.

Catherine is just creating public opinion to lower the price, not to make the other party collapse.

Being targeted by Catherine, Kodak is certainly not a scumbag with a combat power of only 5.

But they could only compromise.

First of all, they didn't expect that Catherine would directly want to acquire their company, and they didn't expect that Catherine still had tens of billions of gold there.

There is actually a difference between 5 billion and 3 billion.

In 1976, Kodak's turnover was US$4.9585 billion and profit was US$613.7 million; in 1975, Kodak's turnover was US$4.5836 billion and profit was US$629.5 million. At this time, Kodak's assets were 5.0562 billion, the stock market value was 3.7091 billion, and cash

The reserves were simply insufficient, maybe they didn't expect anyone to come and lift the table for them.

If you don't count debts, Kodak at this time will only be able to get more than one billion in funds if it is exhausted.

At this time, Catherine owned US$36.5 billion in gold and US$5 billion in liquidity, so she could buy whatever she wanted.

Catherine's cash reserve was originally intended for the school district.

You know, the school district suffered a net loss of US$600 million last year, so if Catherine wants to maintain it, she must constantly fill the hole. Fortunately, Catherine is not the only one who is responsible for filling the hole with Catherine.

Although the school district made some money at the beginning, the school district at that time existed as a tourist attraction. As for now, various large-scale scientific research has begun to be invested, and students' learning also needs to be maintained, so it is starting to lose money at this time.

, it can be said that it is also expected.

Putting this aside for the moment, at this time, Kodak was not only facing Catherine.

At this time, Polaroid also sued Kodak - historically, after Polaroid sued Kodak, Kodak's profit suddenly dropped to one-third of its original value, and then it continued to be unable to raise its head for several years.

It was not until 1993 that profits returned to the level of that year.

But at this time, Polaroid also stabbed the opponent in the back.

The public opinion created by Catherine is not to cause any results, but to put psychological pressure on the other party.

Americans are not Chinese. When their companies encounter crises, they do not think more about rescuing the companies, but about protecting their own interests.

Even if Kodak can sue Angel News Channel, what's the use?

They can't get any compensation.

The most important thing is that others will not think: this reactor is for developing new technologies.

All they know is: this is a nuclear reactor.

What is a nuclear reactor?

In this context of the Cold War, people who have been brainwashed by nuclear war will understand. On the contrary, the connection between nuclear reactors and photography is probably a fact that many people cannot accept.

Moreover, if they want to sue Angel News Channel, it is not that simple.

Faced with the flood of bad reviews and the financial temptation offered by Catherine, Kodak's shareholders couldn't sit still.

In 2005, Kodak's market value was US$14.848 billion, and HP wanted to acquire Kodak for US$14 billion.

Although Kodak was already in decline at that time, its market value alone was much greater than it is now.

At most, Catherine can acquire the entire company with US$5 billion.

If Catherine deceives the other party now, when it comes to acquisitions, Catherine can at least offer a discount, maybe 4 billion. If she is more optimistic, maybe 3 billion, she can win it.

As for companies like IBM, IBM's current total assets are US$18.5305 billion, which is US$3 billion higher than the same period in history. Although IBM, which is flourishing in all directions, is gradually shrinking in traditional business, it is still in emerging businesses and markets.

Above, it is already superhuman.

Now, ExxonMobil has the highest market value in the United States, with a market value of nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars and an annual net profit of nearly 3 billion, making them the most powerful company in the Fortune 500.

As for AT&T and Motorola, the market values ​​are 5 billion and 1 billion respectively. Relatively speaking, Catherine's company is not listed, so it is difficult to estimate. If the entire Fangzhou Group is included, if all the contents are fully covered, Catherine's side is probably

Can be compared with AT&T.

As for Motorola, this estimate cannot be taken seriously, because the other party's holdings are mainly in the hands of Calvin, and Motorola is mostly a military business. Motorola's turnover has more than doubled its market value, reaching 2 billion.

But no matter what, if Catherine wants to play dirty with the other party, there is no problem.

Of course, if you play according to the rules, Catherine will definitely not be the opponent of these people.

——But Catherine is a rich woman through and through.

In just a few years, the market value of gold tripled, which directly allowed Catherine to sit on the shining throne of gold... Well, in history, the rise of gold was directly from 35 US dollars to 150 US dollars, but the current gold price is

It is hovering around 100 US dollars. In fact, if Catherine is willing to wait, she might be able to turn the 30 billion gold into 45 billion, or even 50 billion...

Why do people like to speculate?

The answer is of course because speculation makes money quickly...

If they want, as long as Calvin and the others are willing to sell their company, Catherine can eat it all, but Catherine feels that her company is not ready for this yet.

What's more, companies like General Motors...well, this doesn't count, Catherine can't afford it...like AT&T, there are consortium backgrounds behind them. If they are acquired, although the market value of the company itself is not worth mentioning, but

The consortium behind it is rich. When the time comes, they will set a trap for Catherine, but it will not work.

Although Catherine was so curious about acquiring Kodak, it was actually because Kodak did not have any noteworthy connections with large financial groups.

Therefore, unless the other side finds someone to get money for them immediately, otherwise, Kodak will be in Catherine's pocket. It will not be difficult for Catherine to swallow Kodak in one go.

Kodak's technology must be obtained so that the visual design of his puppet can be carried out. If the relevant technology is not obtained, the subsequent research will be much more troublesome.

“Perhaps it’s time to continue paying attention to the situation in Iran, and then we will have to enter the oil market again…”

Now that there are futures and ten times the leverage, how much can she earn during the second oil crisis... Catherine is really looking forward to it.

…

Suddenly I found that there is an extra leader, welcome book friends I am a Lolicon to become the leader ^_^

Hmm, let’s find some time and update it again...

But now... there will be another update tomorrow...
