Global Monopoly of Technology

In mid-September, today Luo Sheng and Qualcomm officially signed a three-year 3G standard licensing contract, the contract period is 2012.

Paul Jacob left as a very satisfied winner, and the next three years are all he needs to do to make money. For Qualcomm to build 4G patent barriers as soon as possible in these three years, it will be another cycle, and The patent fee can definitely be higher.

Qin Weimu, who was also in the hall, was sorting out the contract materials. As soon as the Qualcomm people left, he and Luo Sheng were left. Seeing his unhappy expression, Qin Weimu couldn't help but smile:

"It turns out that you have today too. Some time ago, the NSA was tortured to death by you. Look at your shriveled appearance, and you can taste it? How is it? It's not good, right?"

Luo Sheng glanced at her helplessly: "Hehe, I see that you are jumping more and more in three days, and your arms are turning out, right?"

After sorting out the materials, Qin Weimu decisively skipped the topic and started talking about the business: "Qualcomm's charge of 'dual patents' is really too ugly. Now that the rise of major smartphone brands, we can foresee the next few days. Qualcomm will make a lot of money this year."

Now even the Riviera has no good way to take Qualcomm. For the newly established domestic mobile phone brands such as Xiaomi, they have no bargaining power in front of Qualcomm.

Luo Sheng smiled and said lightly: "Qualcomm is also in the 3G era, and we have a 4G communication baseband as a substitute player. I will see if Jacob can be in front of labor and management as he is today. Show off your power."

Of course, Luo Sheng knows about Wah Wei. He can view all the secret R\u0026D plans of Lens Semiconductor, and Wah Wah has been investing in R\u0026D in the field of wireless communication baseband since 2004, after Lens Semiconductor was established. By 2006, it was a A very important time node, because of the best-selling of Azure mobile phones, Hua Wei is as excited as a chicken blood.

Since 2006, it has been committed to the communication baseband at all costs. The confidence is the strategic partner of Cote d'Azur. As long as the product technology is in place, it can immediately obtain a high-quality global customer.

From 2006 to this year, in the past three years, Hua Wei has burned nearly 7.5 billion US dollars in research and development investment in the field of communication baseband. It is true that Qualcomm can't be beaten here, so I set my sights on the future 4G era.

At this time, Luo Sheng suddenly said: "By the way, this has to be laid out in advance. Once a series of troubles after breaking up with Qualcomm, such as the blockade in North America, chip foundry has become a key link."

Huaxin International is completely unable to fight now,

There is Lens Semiconductor in the IC design. Luo Sheng doesn't need to worry too much here. The industrial software has already been laid out. Now he is more worried about the chip foundry.

No matter how good your design is, no matter how excellent your product is, if no one helps you to manufacture it, you will end up staring blankly.

As for the issue of the lithography machine, it is a hard bone that must be gnawed at the end. Anyway, the West will not sell the most advanced lithography machines to the Chinese people.

Qin Weimu was thoughtful, and immediately looked at Luo Sheng: "Do you mean the layout is to lift the power supply?"

Luo Sheng nodded: "LSMC is now one of the key 'tool people' in our hands. On the premise that our own semiconductor industry chain's foundry link has not yet entered the international first-class premise, LSMC is one of the most important tools in the world. Life, if they don't give me the OEM, it will be troublesome."

Qin Wei's words were concise and concise: "What are you going to do?"

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers and said, "It's simple, let the Côte d'Azur invest in SMC, with this precondition, and then sign another five-year OEM contract with Côte d'Azur, and wait for the 'tool for SMC' after five years have passed. People' have little use value, and they can be discarded at any time."

In the past five years, Luo Sheng has the confidence and the ability to work independently in the field of chip foundry and lead the world.

Qin Wei asked succinctly, "How much?"

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said, "About more than ten billion US dollars, which is almost one-eighth of the current market value of TSMC, but I only need about 7% of the equity."

Simply and rudely smashing money to the point where you bend your legs and can't walk.

In fact, there is no financial crisis in TSMC, but who cares about more money?

Or send the money to the door in person.

The thing that can be settled with money is definitely the easiest thing for Luo Sheng. This trick is to learn the operation of ASML. ASML sells the lithography machine to its own customers, and the customers are their own shareholders. .

TSMC is one of the shareholders of ASML. At this time, it can only use money to stabilize the tool man first.

Qin Weimu: "Okay, I'll deal with the matter of raising the JMC, and wait for me to give you news."

...

After entering September, the NSA is absolutely relieved, because at least the global Internet users and the general public have not paid much attention to the "Prism Gate", and the news media reports have gradually shifted to other places.

Among them, the two technology companies under Luo Sheng have reappeared in the news media and the public. Although the NSA is very unhappy about this, relatively speaking, it is better for Luo Sheng to attract the attention of the media and the public than to continue here with a magnifying glass. It's good to keep taking pictures.

After entering into September, the market value of Bluestar Technology Group has continuously broken its own records and continued to set new highs. Now the total market value has exceeded 280 billion US dollars, and the market value of breaking through the 300 billion US dollars mark can be expected in the future.

It can only be said that after a series of surveillance incidents such as last month's "Prism Gate" scandal came to light, the whole world suddenly saw who is the messenger of justice and who is the real evildoer.

There is another factor worth mentioning that the market value of Bluestar Technology Group has taken off, and that is Warren Buffett, who has never been very interested in Internet technology companies.

Buffett, the stock god, has taken action. Berkshire Hathaway under his helm suddenly holds a large position in BTC. This is the first time that Buffett has made a large-scale purchase in an Internet technology company.

The reason for Buffett's response is that Luo Sheng, the helm of Bluestar Technology, is a person who is willing to do long-term business, and likes to do projects that can make big money after ten years or even longer.

This has the same philosophy as Buffett, and it seems to explain why he shot.

Indeed, compared to other Internet companies that like to make quick money and realize it, Bluestar Technology insisted on making no money for three years even if it could make money in the early stage of development.

It was an alternative in the Internet world at that time.

Also in mid-September, Zhang Bowen, the global executive vice president of Bluestar Technology Group, held a media conference, officially announcing that the group company once again issued 3A-level corporate bonds with a face value of as high as 20 billion US dollars.

The interest rate is the same as last time, also for a period of five years.

Among them, 2.2 billion US dollars, or about 15 billion yuan, were issued in the mainland.

Another 17.8 billion US dollars is issued to overseas bonds, Europe accounts for 3.7 billion US dollars, and the remaining denominations are capital consortia facing Wall Street.

As soon as this incident was disclosed, it caused a sensation in the capital circle, and many netizens who eat melon said that they did not understand Luo Sheng's operation at all. Doesn't Bluestar Technology have a free cash flow of 24 billion US dollars?

As a listed company, these are disclosed, so it is normal for ordinary netizens to know.

Since you are so rich, how can you still issue bonds like crazy?

This is incomprehensible to the general public, and the first issue is 20 billion US dollars. According to the issuance rate, the annual interest rate alone will pay 1.5 billion US dollars, which is undoubtedly a sky-high price.

In the eyes of ordinary melon-eating netizens, this is no different from throwing coins.

That's right, it's a coin.

The purpose of Luo Sheng's move is to spread the wealth and gather people together, because Bluestar Technology is really not short of money now, and its free cash flow can meet the current business plan expansion and also have a large balance.

Moreover, the company's net profit is high, which has soared towards 30%, and it insists on not paying dividends. It can be said that the accumulation of assets is better than one year.

The purpose of scattering money is to wear a thicker protective suit for yourself.

...

Not long after the announcement of the second large-scale issuance of corporate bonds, the world's largest investment bank, Morgan Stanley and Chase, announced that they had contracted $6.5 billion in corporate bonds, Goldman Sachs announced that they had contracted $2 billion, and Deutsche Bank announced that they had contracted $2.2 billion. and many more.

The US$17.8 billion corporate bonds were divided up by major capital consortia around the world, which can be described as a gluttonous feast.

This has made small and medium-sized enterprises all over the world resentful and dissatisfied, but they have no choice but to vent their dissatisfaction by scolding the group of stupid bankers behind their backs.

These bankers only like to lend money crazily to large enterprises that are not short of money, but small and medium-sized enterprises that are really short of money are rejected in various ways, and they will not lend easily if they ask grandparents to sue.

It is natural for capital to pursue profit. It is normal for this phenomenon to occur. From the standpoint of a banker, lending money to a large enterprise that is not short of money is not afraid of the other party’s default or failure to pay. The probability of becoming a non-performing asset is extremely low, and the risk is very low. Of course it's lower.

On the contrary, the SME ghost knows if you will go bankrupt that day, and will be unlucky with you at that time, and the bankers are not stupid, they know that the kind of money can be made more and more securely.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Sheng's current personal wealth is also increasing in value along with the rising market value of Bluestar Technology Group. On the surface, he holds about 25% of Bluestar Technology Group's stocks, according to the current market value of 280 billion US dollars. , worth more than $70 billion.

For this price alone, he is already the richest man in the world.

In addition, the family fund holds 9% of Bluestar Technology shares, and its current notional value has reached 25.2 billion US dollars. It spent more than 10 billion US dollars to buy it, and now its value has more than doubled in about a year. The original principal and interest were all paid to Bluestar Technology, which also netted more than ten billion US dollars.

Of course, the principal will not be paid to Bluestar Technology now. According to the agreement, Luo Sheng's family fund will pay interest on a regular basis every year. In the fifth year, the principal and interest will be delivered together. By that time, the 9% of the stock market value may have already Doubled the tempo again.

It can be said that the next step is to gain as much as the net profit.

This matter was also brought up by the media to say that Luo Sheng lost his first investment. If he hadn't sold the 9% of the treasury shares repurchased, he would have made more than ten billion dollars for the company.

In this regard, Luo Sheng of course smiled and did not speak.

Even the shareholders of Bluestar Technology are a little heartbroken, but there is nothing they can do. After all, they agreed a year ago, and they are very happy. In absolute numbers, they have made a lot of money, but they have made a lot of money less than today. .
