Chapter 165 technology stream (3) mentions Southwest Baer


    There are not many people who know about the company except americans


    However, when it comes to its parent company, at & t, it is famous


    Its chinese name is the Att Corporation


    Baer, the inventor of the telephone, founded the company in 1877


    After controlling the american telecommunications industry for nearly a hundred years, the us department of justice split at & t into eight parts in 1984, including at & t, which specialized in long-distance telephone services, and seven little Baer, including Southwest Baer


    After 20 years of consolidation, by the time Huang Xuan found out about Southwest Baer, only three of Baer''s children were left intact, and its parent company, at & t, was similarly underperforming


    This was where Huang Xuan was moved


    According to Lorraine''s search for information from a higher similarity plane - comparing it with more information from a higher similarity plane - it would be much more accurate (known as relative similarity) - in a month or so, Southwest Baer would buy its original parent company, the Southwest Baer


    This would undoubtedly raise Southwest Baer''s stock price immediately


    Of course, if it was just a round of money, there were still many options to choose from, but if you want to continue to obtain revenue, Southwest Baer can solve a problem that Huang Xuan could hardly overcome - patent rights


    Lorraine could naturally find technology that had not yet been patented, but basic "Sex" technology was hard to make money, and commercial" sex" technology, there was always the issue of promotion, how long did it take for the internet to start making money


    Huang xuanke couldn''t wait that long


    Technology that can avoid patents is always in two extremes: first, technology is very advanced and will bring benefits to more people, and will not encounter patent problems, but relatively speaking, such technology will certainly consume more To Be Able To Stop


    Second: the technology is advanced, and the research of predecessors is few, but it is not the only or necessary choice, just like the plasma tv, or projector to the" liquid" crystal tv, this is not the mainstream, and there is no one to promote it, so such technology either makes less money, or, You need to spend a lot of money to do it yourself


    You don''t want to be so extreme


    His demand for yield was very high, but it was not abnormally harsh, so instead of trying to bypass the patent, it was better to go deep into the patent


    Under the guidance of this thought, huang xuan focused his attention on the dvd device


    The annual consumption of the dvd equipment was between 60 billion and 100 billion us dollars, and this big cake still had the potential to continue to grow


    Huang Xuan, who had more than 2 billion us dollars in hand, was naturally interested in it


    This is a cake suitable for billionaires


    When it comes to dvds, it''s about patents


    From the current point of view, after the dvd alliance, the next generation of dvd standards will be monopolized by Blue light alliance and hd alliance


    The former will be based on the first standard of the Blue light alliance, while the latter will be based on the sponsor of the company, so no matter which alliance Huang Xuan wants to join, he will need a little opportunity, at least for now


    Neither alliance has a chinese company


    According to Lorraine, the hd alliance would collapse in two years at most because of the turnover of major hollywood companies, and before that, the two sides were neck and neck


    The price of a blu-ray drive is very expensive, but the technology is more advanced, and hd is not much cheaper


    In general, it is a market nurturing period, and only when one of the drives is reduced from thousands to hundreds of yuan will it be sought after by the consumer market, but Huang Xuan is confident


    Achieve this goal in a short time


    The premise was that one of the alliances was willing to take him in


    As a result, Huang Xuan naturally thought of capital when he pondered this question


    If it was someone with a technical background, such as Huang Qunsheng or Tang Yi, they might have used technology to buy a stake or collaborate on development to join one of the alliances, but Huang Xuan wouldn''t


    He didn''t even start high school, and he didn''t even know why the blue light was 405 nm


    Why the red light was 650 nm, let alone why a disc with a blue laser had three times more capacity than a red laser, but that did not affect Huang Xuan''s judgment


    As the eldest son of The huang family, Huang Xuan was already familiar with capital


    The only limit to capital was whether it was sufficient or not


    As she knocked on the table, zhang xinyi came in with two cups of tea


    She sat beside Huang Xuan gently, put the tea on the bedside table, and said with a smile," my son has really grown up


    Is he thinking about beauty or money


    " Her face froze and she didn''t know how to answer it


    She lay down on the pillow by the bed and said," I think it''s money


    "" Shares in sbc


    " Zhang Xinyi smiled and said," I also want to ask you, why would you think of buying the company''s shares


    "" Doesn''t everyone want to buy quality stocks


    " Huang Xuan said casually


    " If it''s really more profitable than your own company, then why doesn''t this company put away all its shares


    It means there''s always a risk


    " Zhang Xinyi said as he picked up a cup of tea and blew," new tea, try it


    "" Oh


    " Huang xuan got up, took a sip of tea and said," do you really want to know what I want to do


    " Zhang xinyi was startled and said," yes


    " She sat up on the bed and smiled smugly," I knew you would be interested


    " As he spoke, he asked Lorraine to turn on the energy screen in case he needed it from time to time


    With everything prepared, huang xuan chewed his tea and said," what does mom think of the dvd market


    "" It''s very sumptuous


    " Listening to Huang Xuan''s serious words, Zhang Xinyi became interested and sat on the bed sideways


    Although he was his own son, not every mother could meet a son who could earn three billion dollars in a year


    " You''re not interested in tens of billions of dollars a year


    " Huang xuan shook his head


    " A thief


    " Zhang xinyi first criticized Huang Xuan''s posture, then said:" the 6c alliance is already very stable, and now there are so many domestic dvd manufacturers, it is unwise to invest in it


    " With a mysterious smile, he said," I mean the next generation of dvd technology, blu-ray and hd


    " He snapped his fingers and said," whether it''s Sony or Sony, the technology is not mature now, and more manufacturers are needed to join


    If someone is willing to join them now, the resistance must be much smaller than after the technology matures


    "" But how do you get in


    " Zhang Xinyi was well aware of these business matters


    She smiled and said," two billion dollars in cash is not bad, but it''s too little for such an alliance


    " She responded and asked," does the Southwest Baer have a patent


    "" Not at the Southwest Baer


    " Huang Xuan shook his head and said," but the American Telegraph and Telephone Corporation has it


    "" At & t


    " These world-renowned companies are stars in the business world


    Zhang Xinyi said strangely," I haven''t heard that they have blu-ray technology, and even if they do, it should be lucent technology


    " In'' 96, the famous bell lab broke away from at & t and founded lucent technology


    As a lab with 25,000 patents, there were countless technologies that determined the world


    To Zhang Xinyi, who was not familiar with the technology, it was not surprising that there was any technology here


    Still shaking his head, he said," I''m actually saving the country on a curve


    " He sipped water from his teacup and scribbled on the nightstand


    " At & t doesn''t have a dvd technology on hand, but it has a patent for mpge-4, and Blue light alliance definitely needs it


    Without mpge-4, there''s nothing left


    " As he spoke, he gestured" a," then pulled" m," the Blue light alliance itself will not accept us as its members, but if it is proposed by at & t, with some technology and money, there is a possibility of negotiation


    " He connected a''s line to s and said," but even if Att Corporation agrees to me buy the shares that have the right to make a decision, it will have some additional terms, such as mpge-4


    If I don''t agree, the negotiations will take a long time


    Then we can''t do anything


    " Finally, he connected a''s line to the outside world and said," but I got inside information that Southwest Baer might buy at & t with a final price of about 15 billion us dollars


    After being diluted, the shares of 3


    5 % of the Southwest Baer would still have 3 %, which would be enough to affect the board of directors


    Since I bought Southwest Baer first, they couldn''t change the terms of the mpge-4 in advance, so there wouldn''t be any legal issues


    " As a company with a market value of more than 70 billion us dollars, holding more than 5 % of the shares can be considered as a major shareholder, and holding so many shares is often other companies and institutions, so 3 % of the shares is considered to have a say


    Zhang Xinyi looked at Huang Xuan with a sigh and shook his head with both hands


    He said happily," Sure, son, I was talking to your father


    If you really don''t know how to do anything, we''ll find two lawyers to manage your living capital


    I didn''t expect you to grow up a little, and you''ll understand


    " With a silly smile, these things were indeed his own thoughts, in addition to getting a lot of future advice


    After sighing, Zhang Xinyi happily drank his tea and said," but there''s still a little problem


    Why choose blu-ray instead of hd


    Now it seems that the Toshiba needs allies more


    " It couldn''t be said that since he knew that the Toshiba would lose, joining the hd alliance would consume more of the To Be Able To Stop, he had to dodge the bullet and answer lightly: "That''s because hd doesn''t use mpge-4


    This guy''s patent fees are very expensive, and each dvd costs two dollars


    Toshiba wants to save money, so if I join the hd alliance, the shares of the Southwest Baer will be useless


    " This was a complete reversal of cause and effect


    Zhang xinyi gave Huang Xuan a sideways look, but did not explain it


    Instead, she said with concern," then your money has bought shares, so even if you enter the Blue light alliance, there is no production capital


    "" Who knows how long the negotiation will take


    By then, I''ll have enough money


    " Huang Xuan''s voice was low, but he was thinking about what was left of him


    Note 1: mpge-4 can be interpreted as a video and audio coding format


    Its patent is also a complex system


    At & t does not have exclusive rights, but it is an important part of it
