Chapter 447
Chapter 447 One small move affects the whole body
The stock prices of a group of electronic component companies headed by 3M suddenly soared collectively, which surprised countless people.
One of the chemical companies that supplies raw materials for batteries in Houston saw its stock price drop by more than 24% in just a few minutes, which made the founder of this chemical company a little confused.
The strength of this Houston chemical company is not strong, that is, in the past few years, it has begun to transform battery raw materials, etc., 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 market closed.
"funk, can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Dickler, who was discussing with a group of chemical experts who had been invited, had newly introduced a batch of production equipment, and came out of the factory in a hurry after hearing the call from the accountant.
This chemical plant was inherited by Dikler from his father. Dikler, who looks tall and has a hot temper, graduated from the Chemical Engineering Department of the Colorado School of Mines.
Before Dickler took over the chemical plant, the chemical plant was already half dead, that is, here in Texas, relying on some connections, it was able to receive some orders.
After taking over, Di Kohler carried out drastic reforms to the chemical plant. He identified the direction of battery development and bet on the production of raw materials for the lithium battery industry.
Battery materials are updated rapidly. After the rise of nickel-cadmium batteries in the 1980s, nickel-metal hydride batteries appeared in the past few years, but Dikoller bet on the lithium battery that has just begun to rise.
Lithium battery was the first concept proposed by Sony five years ago, but the price is too expensive, and the battery capacity is too small, so there are very few users. Sony can only use the lithium battery it produces for its own products.
However, Dickler has his sights on the lithium battery market. Dell and other computer manufacturers have begun to slowly use lithium batteries, and even regard them as a selling point.
Dickler does not expect to become a giant in the lithium battery industry. He only hopes that when the era of lithium batteries really comes in the future, his small chemical factory will also be able to follow suit and not be eliminated.
But today's sudden soaring stock price made Dickler a little bit cursing. 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, but today it directly The market value has increased by almost one-third, and the skyrocketing value is a good thing, but the sudden skyrocketing made Di Kele feel a little panicked.
"Currently, no company has declared that it wants to acquire us, and most of the people who bought our stock today are Wall Street institutions, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan!"
The accountant's words made Dickler feel even more absurd. He didn't know how his ruined chemical factory could be seen by the Wall Street institutions. This chemical factory has been listed for more than ten years, but it has been half dead. It's a huge sum of money to buy, and I can't wait to buy short the stocks of the entire chemical plant.
The phone in the office rang, and the accountant felt even more weird when he heard the content on the phone. He couldn't help but said to Di Kele, "It's an investment institution on Wall Street, and we need to conduct research here!"
Hearing this, Di Colle couldn't help but said to the accountant, "Damn it, go ask these organizations, what are they going to do?"
A moment later, when he heard the news, Dukler's eyes widened, "Is it because we are one of the battery suppliers for Alcatel's P1 mobile phone?"
After confirming again and again, the accountant nodded affirmatively, "I think the sales of Alcatel P1 mobile phones may have exceeded the estimate. 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 P1. In the morning, P1 was still a little unknown, but in the afternoon, the situation changed suddenly. First, the P1 mobile phone in England, Germany and other places, It was sold short directly, and then the Asian market also reported that the inventory was in short supply.
In the end, in America, the New York market, which had a full stock of 40,000 P1 mobile phones, didn't last even a day, and they were sold out in the afternoon.
"The Alcatel P1 mobile phone, which went on sale today, has sold more than 120,000 units worldwide, and some regions 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. Many professional electronics organizations have given high marks to the P1 mobile phone.
Affected by this news, the stock prices of P1 mobile phone parts suppliers, electronics retailers, etc. have risen sharply today! "
Watching the news on the TV, it took a while for Dickler to come back to his senses. He remembered that at the end of last year, the people from Alcatel mobile phone came to find him and asked Dickler to provide battery production for Alcatel mobile phone. Material.
At that time, the orders for Alcatel's mobile phones were not large. Dickler wanted to take orders from big manufacturers such as Dell, Compaq, and Motorola, but those big brands didn't think much of his broken factory. Dikler had just taken the order for the Alcatel phone.
But now, watching the news on TV, Dikler suddenly stood up, and he knew that now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Call Alcatel Mobile, no, I'll go there in person, I remember Bruno Song, the major shareholder of Alcatel Mobile, is also from Houston, we want to win the battery order for Alcatel Mobile, we must!"
Dickler told the accountant to buy the new production equipment immediately, and then hurried to San Jose.
Dikoller is not the first to rush towards San Jose. A mobile phone has hundreds of different parts and raw materials. Behind a mobile phone is an industrial chain, raw materials, parts, production plants, agents Sellers, salespersons, etc., all added up, may be related to the livelihood of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people!
If it is like Apple in the era of smartphones, it is not only about hardware devices, but also related to software development. Just one software content developer can provide more than 1.8 million jobs, and it has completely become a big tail existence. Relying on the job provided by that brand, if you want to drive it away, you can't just talk about it, and you can do it with just a few words...
The current Alcatel P1 mobile phone is naturally impossible to achieve that step, but it is still possible to affect some parts suppliers, agents and the like!
Yanjing, in the venture capital building of the Wishing Star Foundation, which belongs to the office of 8848 e-commerce. Since its establishment last year, the number of 8848 personnel has exceeded 80 people. This scale is no longer comparable to the current domestic Internet. It's too young, Boss Ma in Lin'an City has only one person around him...
At this time, 8848 was very busy. With the investment of Star Wish Foundation, 8848 developed the first e-commerce website in China. At the beginning of the year, it officially began to operate online.
Now 8848 is mainly cooperating with Lianbang Software to help Lianbang Software sell software on the 8848 platform. Not long after the site opened, 8848 paid a lot of money, and cooperated with dozens of media such as Central Media, Yangcheng Evening News, Yanjing TV, and Oriental TV. A "72-hour network survival test" was conducted.
This is a big show full of gimmicks, but in this period of Internet frenzy, this Internet experiment was reported and reprinted by more than two hundred media, making 8848 famous and becoming another company after Ying Haiwei that made the entire country famous. The attention-grabbing Internet company has 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 mobile phones on the 8848 platform are all sold out!"
In the office, Wang Juntao was obviously stunned when he heard the name of the operator running in. "All five hundred machines have been sold?"
Since its opening, 8848 has mainly helped Lianbang sell software. Relying on the popularity of Lianbang Software, 8848 has developed smoothly. Last month's revenue exceeded the 500,000 mark. This is rare in the domestic Internet industry. The presence.
This time, 8848 is also cheering for the big boss's P1 mobile phone. 8848 has obtained 500 phones and sold them on the platform.
It was just an attempt, and Wang Juntao didn't even think he could sell it. After all, the price of a P1 mobile phone is more than 4,000 RMB, which is 4,000 RMB in the 1990s, and the monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only a few hundred. Less than a block!
The operator nodded affirmatively, and said excitedly, "Mr. Wang, I think we should transfer another batch of phones from Alcatel to sell on the platform immediately!"
P1 mobile phones are not cheap, but they can be called conscience in China today. Compared with brands such as Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson, the old models of last year or even the year before are sold in China for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. The Chinese version is provided. In comparison, the P1 mobile phone has much more powerful functions, and it 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, that is, in this day, 8848's revenue exceeded two million, more than four times the revenue of last month, which far exceeded Wang Juntao's imagination.
Wang Juntao picked up the phone and called Fang Qiuyu, wanting him to coordinate another batch of phones from Alcatel's phone. Everyone crowded around Fang Qiuyu.
After hearing Wang Juntao's words, Fang Qiuyu immediately replied, which made Fang Qiuyu dumbfounded, "Out of stock, not even a single machine now!"
"no stock?"
Wang Juntao knew that Fang Qiuyu would not fool him for this matter, but he couldn't help but said, "I remember, the Alcatel mobile phone production line is in Yanjing, right?"
The production line is right next door, but I couldn't get the machine out, is that okay?
