Back To 1995

  Chapter 447

   A group of electronic parts companies headed by 3M company suddenly collectively soared, which surprised countless people.

   One of the chemical companies in Houston that supplies battery raw materials, the stock price has jumped by more than 24% in just a few minutes, making the founder of this chemical company a little confused.

  The strength of this Houston chemical company is not strong, that is, it has begun to transform battery raw materials in recent years to produce the latest lithium battery materials, but compared with other chemical giants, it is still far inferior.

   But this time, the stock price of this chemical company was bought like crazy in just a few minutes, almost before the close.

   "funk, who can tell me what's going on?"

   was negotiating with a group of invited chemical experts. Decole, who had introduced a batch of new production equipment, came out of the factory in a hurry after hearing the call from the accountant.

   This chemical plant was inherited by De Koler from his father. De Koler, who looked tall and hot-tempered, graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a major in chemical engineering.

  Before Dikole took over the chemical plant, the chemical plant was already half-dead, that is, here in Texas, with some connections, it was able to receive some orders.

After   Dikoler took over, he carried out a drastic reform of the chemical plant. He identified the direction of battery development and bet on the production of raw materials in the lithium battery industry.

  The replacement of battery materials is rapid. Since the rise of nickel-cadmium batteries in the 1980s, nickel-metal hydride batteries have appeared in the past few years, but De Kohler is betting on lithium batteries that are just beginning to emerge.

  Lithium battery is the concept that Sony first proposed five years ago, but the price is too expensive, and the battery capacity is too small, so few users use it. Sony can only use the produced lithium battery on its own products.

   But Dikole has spotted the lithium battery market. Computer manufacturers such as Dell have begun to use lithium batteries slowly, and even regard them as a selling point.

  Dikole does not expect to become a giant in the lithium battery industry, but only hopes that when the era of lithium batteries really comes in the future, his small chemical factory can follow suit and not be eliminated.

But today's sudden surge in the stock price made Dickler a little scolded. He didn't know if someone was maliciously buying his chemical plant. You must know that the market value of this chemical plant is less than 100 million US dollars. Today, it is directly The market value has risen by almost one-third, and it is a good thing that the price has skyrocketed, but this sudden surge made Dickole feel a little flustered.

   "At present, no company has declared to buy us, and most of the people who bought our stock today are Wall Street institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan, etc.!"

The accountant's words made Dickler even more absurd. He didn't know how his broken chemical factory could get into the eyes of the Wall Street institutions. This chemical factory has been listed for more than ten years, but it has always been half-dead. This time It's a big purchase of US dollars. I can't wait to buy the entire chemical plant's stock and short it.

The phone in the    office rang, and the accountant felt weird when he heard the content on the phone. He couldn't help but say to Dickler, "It's an investment institution on Wall Street, and we need to conduct research here!"

When   Dikole heard this, he couldn't help but said to the accountant, "Damn, go and ask these organizations, what are they going to do?"

   After a while, when he heard the news, Dikole's eyes widened, "Is it because we are one of the battery suppliers for the Alcatel P1 mobile phone?"

   After confirming again and again, the accountant nodded affirmatively, "I think the sales of Alcatel P1 mobile phones may have exceeded estimates. So far, they have sold... 110,000 units!"

At this time, the financial channel on the TV station and the Wall Street media have also begun to report the sales of the P1. In the morning, the P1 was still somewhat unknown, but in the afternoon, the situation changed abruptly. First, the P1 mobile phone in England, Germany and other places, It was directly sold short, and then there was news of a shortage of inventory in the Asian market.

   In the end, the New York market in America, where 40,000 P1 mobile phones had been stocked, did not last a day and was sold short in the afternoon.

   "The global sales of the Alcatel P1 mobile phone, which started today, have exceeded 120,000 units, and some areas have begun to be out of stock. The P1 mobile phone manufacturer announced that it will supply products to the market as soon as possible.

  Some analysts in the electronics industry predict that the P1 mobile phone may become a dark horse in the mobile phone industry this year, and many electronic professional institutions have given high scores to the P1 mobile phone.

   Affected by this news, the stock prices of P1 mobile phone parts suppliers, electronic sellers, etc. have risen sharply today! "

Watching the news on the TV, Decole came back to his senses after a while. He remembered that at the end of last year, someone from Alcatel mobile phones came to him and asked Decole to provide battery production for Alcatel mobile phones. Material.

At that time, the orders for Alcatel mobile phones were not large. Dikole wanted to take orders from major manufacturers such as Dell, Compaq, and Motorola. However, those big brands did not pay much attention to his broken factory. De Kohler just took the order for Alcatel phones.

  But now, watching the news on TV, Dickole suddenly stood up, he knew that now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

   "Call Alcatel mobile phone, no, I went there in person, I remember Bruno Song, the major shareholder of Alcatel mobile phone, also from Houston, we want to win the battery order for Alcatel mobile phone, we must!"

  Dikole explained to the accountant and asked him to buy back the new production equipment immediately, and then hurried to San Jose.

Decole is not the first to rush to San Jose. There are hundreds of different parts and raw materials for a mobile phone. Behind a mobile phone is an industrial chain, raw materials, parts, production plants, agents. Sellers, sales staff, etc., all together, may affect the livelihood of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people!

If Apple is in the era of smartphones, it is not only about hardware equipment, but also about software development. Just one software content developer will provide more than 1.8 million jobs, and it will become a completely irresistible existence. Millions of people have Relying on the work provided by that brand, wanting to drive it away is not a matter of words, and it can be done with just a few words...

  The current Alcatel P1 mobile phone is naturally impossible to do that step, but it can still be done if it affects some parts suppliers and agents!

Yanjing, in the venture capital building of Xingyuan Foundation, belongs to the office of 8848 e-commerce. Since its establishment last year, the staff of 8848 has exceeded 80 people. This scale is no longer in the current domestic Internet. Even if it’s too young, the boss Ma in Lin’an City is only one person by his side…

   At this time, 8848 was busy. With the investment of Star Wish Foundation, the first domestic e-commerce website developed by 8848 was officially launched at the beginning of the year.

Now 8848 is mainly cooperating with Lianbang Software to help Lianbang Software sell software on the 8848 platform. Soon after the opening of the station, 8848 made a lot of money, cooperating with dozens of media such as Central Media, Yangcheng Evening News, Yanjing TV, Oriental TV, etc. Engaged in a "72-hour network survival test".

This is a big show full of gimmicks, but in this period of Internet mania, this Internet experiment was reported and reprinted by more than 200 media, making 8848 famous, becoming another company after Yinghaiwei that made the whole country famous The high-profile Internet companies have also made the name of e-commerce the first Internet concept in China. Now a large number of websites under the banner of e-commerce have emerged in China.

   "The P1 phones on the 8848 platform are all sold out!"

In the    office, Wang Juntao was obviously stunned after hearing the name of the operator running in, "All five hundred machines have been sold?"

Since its establishment, 8848 has mainly helped Lianbang to sell software. Relying on the popularity of Lianbang Software, 8848 has developed smoothly. Last month's revenue exceeded the 500,000 mark, which is rare in the domestic Internet industry. The presence.

   This time, 8848 is also cheering for the big boss's P1 mobile phone. 8848 got 500 phones and sold them on the platform. In fact, it is also trying to add new products. 8848 can't live by working for Lianbang Software forever.

It was originally an attempt, and Wang Juntao didn't even think about selling it. After all, the price of a P1 mobile phone was more than 4,000 yuan, which was 4,000 yuan in the 1990s. The monthly salary of an ordinary worker was only a few hundred yuan. block less than!

   The operator nodded affirmatively and said excitedly, "Mr. Wang, I think we should immediately transfer another batch of phones from Alcatel Mobile to sell on the platform!"

The P1 mobile phone is not cheap, but it can be placed in the current domestic market, but it is a conscience. Compared with those brands such as Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson, the old models of last year or even the year before are sold in China. The Chinese version is provided. In contrast, the P1 mobile phone has much more powerful functions and is a Chinese system. For users who want to buy a mobile phone, there is no need to choose which one to choose.

In less than a day, more than 500 machines were sold. In one day, the revenue of 8848 exceeded 2 million, which is more than four times the revenue of the previous month, which is far beyond the Wang Juntao's imagination.

Wang Juntao picked up the phone and called Fang Qiuyu, asking him to coordinate another batch of phones from the Alcatel mobile phone. There was a lot of noise from Fang Qiuyu who received Wang Juntao's call. Everyone crowded around Fang Qiuyu.

   After hearing Wang Juntao's words, Fang Qiuyu immediately replied with a sentence that made Fang Qiuyu dumbfounded, "There is no stock, and now there is no machine!"

"no stock?"

  Wang Juntao knew that Fang Qiuyu would not fool him for this, but couldn't help but say, "I remember, the production line of Alcatel mobile phones is in Yanjing, right?"

  The production line is next door, but I can't get the machine, is this okay?
