Looking back on history, we can see that in the 1980s, many great enterprises were born in the world, and Qualcomm is one of them.

Blind, confident and arrogant Intel, ignoring Qualcomm, has been surpassed by Qualcomm in the mobile chip business, and will even miss the great opportunity of mobile Internet.

For many years, Qualcomm has been actively engaged in the deployment of CDMA patents, and promoted CDMA to become the latest 3G industry standard protocol.

The purpose of this is to make almost all enterprises engaged in 3G product manufacturing and sales in the industry have to sign patent license contracts with Qualcomm.

Qualcomm has so many basic 3G patents that even its competitors have to use them.

With 3G licenses being issued all over the world, every technical standard of 3G can hardly bypass Qualcomm, which owns the intellectual property rights of the main core technologies.

As the founder of CDMA technology, Qualcomm has almost monopolized the use right of all technology patents related to CDMA.

Any company that needs to use CDMA technology patents shall pay Qualcomm a large number of patent license fees.

Now, Andy is going to be a chip giant just through capital operation. Such experience, I'm afraid, will make Intel, arm, apple, four-star, NVIDIA and other chip industry real tycoons and new stars "gnash their teeth", but also raise their vigilance, the wolf of capital is coming!

everyone knows that chips are in the top of the whole industry, and can achieve enough, relying on long-term continuous R & D investment and accumulation, there is no shortcut to go.

Not only a large amount of time and investment is needed in the early stage, but also continuous investment is needed in the later stage. The chip industry is a fast upgrading and iterative industry. If we do not continue to invest heavily in R & D, the leading advantage may not last for long.

However, no one knows how big Andy Smith's appetite and ambition are. However, when he successfully entered Qualcomm with his superb capital operation and courage, no one can guarantee that he will continue to annex larger industry peers to build his semi leader empire.

Semiconductor Empire?

Of course, Andy will not stop at a Qualcomm company, nor will he stop at only becoming the chairman of the board of directors supported by major shareholders of multiple institutions!

How could he leave his fate to others?

For these institutional investors, Andy has never trusted them, because he knows better than anyone, everyone is the same, they can't get up early without profit, today they can abandon the current members of Qualcomm's board of directors for the benefit of today, tomorrow for the greater benefit, they will not hesitate to kick him out!

Two years of experience, let him understand a business rule, become a hunter, or become prey.

First step away from the giant stadium celebration, back to Gaia tower, standing in front of the electronic screen wall of freedom city investment company, watching a blood red number jump, Andy's face is only indifferent.

While enjoying the eyes full of awe and adoration of his subordinates, he also sighed in his heart the words that Grandpa Smith said to him.

"The road to ambition must be paved with the bodies of many victims!"

The two-day crash of American stock market once again made the whole market howl. As the initiator, Andy found that he didn't have a trace of guilt, but only the joy of achieving his goal! Looking at the helpless wailing after the enemy's dying struggle, he was only excited!

"Boss, we've started to lose

Bardstone handed Andy a report form, with a solemn face.

Andy took a look at the figures on the report and said lightly: "it's inevitable to lose. If you want to shuffle, you can't pay nothing. The key is to see whether it's worth it. Compared with what I can get, this loss doesn't matter."

Even if he takes advantage of the whole trend, he still needs to fight for the next two days in order to wash out all the uncertain investors.

Multi empty game, smash and protect the plate, every time is a capital battle, it is inevitable to produce losses!

In particular, what Andy has to do is to smash the plate and wash the chips, while at the same time, he has to absorb the chips without trace. In this way, under Andy's cost free strategy, there will be losses naturally.

Besides, the short part is to make money for himself. I think it should be able to fill the gap of funds used to smash the market and attract funds. However, it is not the time for settlement at present, and everything should wait until he, Andy Smith, has enough chips.

Don't worry. When he chose to give up the overall acquisition strategy, he was unwilling to be blackmailed by Qualcomm's shareholders at a high price, and chose to take a step back automatically to take a holistic view. It's the way to swallow a whale. One bite at a time can swallow the whole whale!

"By the end of the day, when we hit $25, we need to let everyone know that one thing is that Andy Smith's ride is not for everyone!"

"I see!"

Listening to the response from all the subordinates in the hall, Andy nodded with satisfaction and continued to watch the red numbers on the big screen."Thumping -"

the clear trampling sound of high-heeled shoes came from behind. Andy looked back. The assistant took the mobile phone and walked quickly.

"Boss, Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric --"

"Oh?" Andy turned to bardstone with a little bit of a bad smile and said, "we've washed out a big fish, and it's a big one that's going to drown. Ha ha."

There was also a smile on bardstone's face. What they did was to get these institutional investors and the so-called "White Knight" to surrender? Now that we have the first one, will the next one be far away!

"Ha ha, you go on. I'll have a good talk with our white knight. It's time to harvest!"

Although it's unexpected to receive Jeff Immelt's call, it's reasonable to think about it. After his challenge to Qualcomm's board of directors, Qualcomm's major shareholders and investors have a crisis of trust in the current Qualcomm board of directors, and have expressed their dissatisfaction that board members ignore shareholders' opinions and make large acquisitions.

This is undoubtedly to let the board of directors with the shackles of funds, in the face of Andy Smith 's relentless persecution, they can only watch, can not use funds to start the company' s stock repurchase plan, to support the plummeting stock price, can only watch Andy Smith 's stock price of Qualcomm and those white knight all kinds of abuse, hanging!

Now, there are finally people who can't support it. The buyers who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy Qualcomm's shares are Andy Smith. They wanted to make a big profit, but at the same time, Ge, which is under Andy Smith's control, is still spending valuable liquidity to invest in Qualcomm in the face of various media's doubts about GE, which is already in trouble. They have been facing the challenge for a long time Jeff Immelt had to make a trade-off because of angry questions from impatient Ge shareholders, knowing that GE's share price performance is already one of the worst in the Dow Jones industrial average.

Just now, under the pressure of GE's radical investors, Immelt had to launch a two-year cost reduction plan to improve the profits of the core business of industrial manufacturing.

Immelt, who is hard to protect himself, still has the pride and high spirits of the White Knight at the beginning. There are only regrets and plans to retire smoothly in order to keep his throne. As for contacting Andy Smith, it doesn't matter whether he is shameless or ashamed.

“。。。 Well, Jeff, who made our previous cooperation very happy? Well, I want all the Qualcomm shares in your hands at $28 a share! " Andy's mouth turned up, his feet on the desk, lying on the boss's chair, raised his eyebrows in agony.

"You --"

Immelt's eyes are blazing, his face is red, his hand is holding the phone receiver tightly, his tendons are blue, and he would like to hang up. He thought that the call with Andy Smith would be very embarrassing, even if the negotiation was successful, there would be losses. However, he never thought that Andy Smith would take advantage of the fire.

"Andy, you know, we can wait for Qualcomm's share price to rebound

"Of course, this is your power. Please wait a little bit. Let me buy it at this price. By the way, it's now. I'll tell you another price later. Sorry, Jeff. I have another meeting. You want to think about it. Contact me after you think about it." Andy Snickers and hangs up the phone. At this moment, he doesn't care about the shares in GE's hands. If he wants to buy shares, he just needs to spend money to buy them from the secondary market. Although it's a bit slow, why don't he take advantage of the fire if he has a desire?

Especially the enemy!
