20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2504 Persuasion from Li Mei

If we only count the book wealth, Li Mei's team at the branch has lost nearly 40 million RMB in the stock market. It is surprising that these traders can feel comfortable with this.

"You don't have to be so downcast. It's my decision to focus on BlackBerry stocks, and I have great confidence in BlackBerry. I believe it won't be impossible for the stock price to return to 20 before long. Please trust my judgment!"

Zhao Changan smiled and raised his glass to encourage Li Mei and the others: "Come on, let's drink!"

These employees don't need to know many things. They just need to follow orders and do them well.

So of course there is no need to tell them so much.

After drinking a little bit in the evening, I had to go to Waterloo to discuss cooperation with BlackBerry the next day. Tang Shuang and Qi Xiu lived in the branch’s employee apartment building, while Zhao Changan and Qi Peng lived in a hotel across from a supermarket. .

When they arrived at the hotel, Zhao Changan could see that Qi Peng, who was full of excitement, wanted to chat more with him, but Zhao Changan had no such interest. After all, he had already designed a path for Qi Peng. The nano website production department is in charge, and he can run the Canadian universities by himself.

More importantly, Qi Peng has already transferred 38 million yuan into the account of Jin Chenxiao's father's colleague, and also written documents to prove the account. The following is just a matter of returning it to Tianyue Future through legitimate channels. .

For Zhao Changan, his mission has been completed, and saying another word to Qi Peng is a waste of time.

Although it was only eight o'clock in the evening in Toronto, Zhao Changan was already very sleepy due to jet lag. This was why Tang Shuang refused to let him go back to the hotel to rest early.

However, Zhao Changan had just taken a shower and went to bed wearing the pajamas Tang Shuang bought for him in advance when his cell phone rang.

It's Li Mei's phone number.

"What's wrong with Li Mei?"

"Mr. Zhao, I want to meet you and talk to you about some work matters."

Zhao Changan thought to himself, if you want to talk about not adapting to life here, being empty, lonely and cold, I dare to take the risk to meet you. Can I talk to you about work matters in the middle of the night?

She has Jin Chenxiao above her, and she is engaged in stock operations. Zhao Changan doesn't think he can have anything to talk about with her because he is sleepy at night.

"It's too late. It's not that it's late here, but I haven't slept since I was jet-lagged and I'm a little sleepy."

"Mr. Zhao, I am here with Yao Xiujing and Ruan Yanfei. This also represents the common desire of our team to talk to you about work matters."

"Come on, the hotel knows, 1609."

Zhao Changan was also at a loss.

In fact, he could guess the reason why Li Mei and the others came, hoping that he could allow them to open up the business, instead of just grabbing BlackBerry's stock to make single products.

Because in their view, the reality is a global Internet winter. The vast majority of high-tech Internet companies around the world are losing money. Whether they can survive this winter is unknown.

Of course, for now, the same is true for BlackBerry, which is trying to transform from the PAD field to the mobile phone field, but has failed so far.

Therefore, with a high probability, BlackBerry's huge losses this year are inevitable, especially since it has a close relationship with Nortel. It can be said that one will prosper and the other will suffer.

Nortel is a thorn in the side of several high-tech giants in the United States in the south. Over the past two years, they have been trying every means to attack the Nortel Group. And in fact, the results have already come out. Last year, Nortel's customers dropped from more than 4000 worldwide to less than 2000 in the first quarter of this year, and it is still on the trend of further expansion.

Coupled with Nortel's aggressive acquisitions of global companies at all costs in the past few years, as well as its misjudgment in the second half of last year and its desperate efforts to produce and reserve products, the products in the warehouse are now piling up.

Owing huge debts to banks, Nortel had to desperately lay off employees to save expenses. In January this year, Nortel announced that it would lay off 1 employees. On February 6000, it increased the number by 2 to 15.

Before Nortel laid off employees, it had 8.6 employees worldwide, including 2.3 in Canada.

Nortel's sales revenue in the first quarter was US$63 billion, while its full-year sales last year were US$303 billion. Although it only shrank by 16%, what everyone can see is that Nortel received the second quarter's sales revenue of US$30 billion. Orders have dropped even more sharply, and are currently less than billion US dollars.

Even if we want to maintain sales revenue in the first quarter, there is still a gap of US$33 billion. In this Internet winter, as well as the pursuit of competitors such as Lucent, Cisco, IBM, Nokia, and Siemens, I don’t know where to get enough. Order.

Nortel Group accounts for a quarter of the total market value of the 300 major trading stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In the previous eight months, Nortel's stock price plummeted and its market value shrunk by US$1 billion.

In this case, it is obvious that BlackBerry, as a pawn, will die even worse!

This is the judgment of Li Mei's team that Zhao Changan can guess.

And they don't even know Zhao Changan's true ambition for BlackBerry, because telling them would make these traders laugh.

Just as he and Jin Chenxiao revealed this ambition, Jin Chenxiao still feels that it is impossible.

BlackBerry's current share price is US$4.89, with a total market value of US$40 billion and 330 billion RMB.

To the current one nanometer, it is a pony looking at a giant elephant.

And no matter how you calculate it, BlackBerry's RIM mobile phone sales are not very good around the world, but they are okay in Canada. Their PAD market share ranks in the top five in the world. No matter how you look at it, $3 is the limit of their stock price drop.

Its total market value is also nearly 200 billion RMB. If One Nano wants to realize its ambition, Mike and Jim's joint shareholding currently exceeds 23%, which is also 46 billion RMB.

And once One Nano really starts to attract funds with the threat of barbarians, BlackBerry will definitely defend itself, and there will be a lot of capital from inquiries that want to make a profit. It is very impressive to be able to use 60 billion RMB to get more than 23% of the shares. Disaster.

Moreover, Mike and Jim will also accumulate funds on defense and increase their holdings.

In Jin Chenxiao's view, there is no possibility of it being successfully realized!

"Mr. Zhao, our team has gone through repeated debates and feels that it is inappropriate for us to focus exclusively on BlackBerry, a single product stock! And even if we really only focus on BlackBerry, we recommend short selling rather than accumulation. ——”

Zhao Changan was too lazy to change clothes, so he just sat on the sofa in his pajamas, listening to Li Mei, Yao Xiujing, and Ruan Yanfei talking nonsense.

And sure enough, what they said was similar to what Zhao Changan had guessed, which made him feel boring and uninteresting.

As for what they said about shorting BlackBerry, in Zhao Changan's view, this is not allowed even if he makes more money.

Because his ambition is not only to get control of BlackBerry, but also to keep Mike and Jim and continue to work together for the future of BlackBerry.
