Chapter 39: Monster!

Chapter 39: Monster!

After a short vacation, William White went to San Francisco. He was very concerned about this cash cow and absolutely didn't want any problems.

The sales volume of Apple computers is very good. Although it has not reached 30,000 units, it is very close. Morgan Stanley finally needs to face the fact that their valuations are indeed seriously skewed.

Morgan Stanley is basically regarded as the most powerful investment bank in this era. This time, it is possible to be kicked out this time, which makes Morgan Stanley very embarrassed.

If the Apple IPO fails, they can still watch the joke. But obviously, there are many investors who are interested in this company. Absolutely nothing dissonant will happen.

This time, not only Joe was dissatisfied, but Markkula was also very upset. If he questioned the distribution fee, Damo would just take it as a joke. The monopoly of Wall Street is much stronger than that of Hollywood, and it is impossible for you to rent an exchange.

What is being questioned now is their knowledge of the industry. My God Joe has already said, do you really know what a computer is?

In fact, let alone Morgan Stanley, no company on Wall Street understands. This company was normal at first, and it was barely selling 10,000 units a month. How could it suddenly go crazy?

A product that sells more than 10 million US dollars per month is indeed good, but it is not a very good company. Your market share is less than 40%.

What is the situation now?

Not only is Apple's sales up, but other companies seem to be doing well, too. Although the growth rate is not as fast as that of Apple, the increase in sales is indeed a fact.

What puzzles them the most is how the profit margin has also increased. This is completely unreasonable. Don't you need to pay for such a large promotion?

Damn, this part of the profit is selling software.

"Henry, what happened to that software company? How much software did they sell in July?"

"Boss, we have no way to know the exact data. They are now a private company, and all the shares are in the hands of one person. There is no need to announce these news."

"Si, why did I forget about this? Aren't they going to round A next year? How many shares are they going to sell?"

"10%, and no more. Their CEO said that if it is not considering an IPO, this part is unnecessary."

"Tsk tsk, damn local tyrant, why can't he be poorer."

"Boss, according to other companies' public information, they sold at least 60,000 sets of software in July. Although it was only 6 million, it really didn't cost anything. They were already making crazy money."

"Oh, there is such a thing. Why do I feel like I'm listening to a story? Are you sure it's not a Ponzi scheme?"

"Boss, I'm afraid not. It is reported that Big Blue will also enter this industry."

"Damn it, with such a company in his hand, the boss actually wants to make some kind of movie, how capricious he is."

Henry could only choke in silence. People's movies are also very profitable. Mao estimates that this product can earn 100 million yuan, which is far higher than the profit of software companies. You are the boss, I just dare not say it.

"Henry, what expression do you have? Am I wrong?"

"Boss, his movie will earn at least 100 million. I really don't know what to say about this monster."

Pfft, the old guy spewed out a mouthful of coffee.

"Ahem, Henry, are you sure you're not talking about Japanese yen?"

"No, if there were no movies like Star Wars, this year's box office champion would be theirs."

"My God, doesn't his family run a farm? How could such a monster appear!"

Many investment banks are discussing William White. Of course, they all want to invest in White Software. They are not afraid of any valuation now, and it will definitely be more expensive next year.

Now no one talks about shell companies anymore, their research and development capabilities are very strong. Now people not only sell software, but also business of various adapter cards is very good.

Well, these are all OEM.

Another characteristic of this company is that the boss seems unwilling to produce, and they pay more attention to research and development.

Several adapter cards currently on the market are from their family, and they are all selling well.

The gross profit margin is also very outrageous, the minimum is 100%. Although they don't need to announce it, the company that produced it for him is a listed company. Naturally, investment banks can easily obtain these contents.

The production is handed over to other OEMs, and the sales are thrown to the computer company. This product makes money while lying down.

The most resentful thing is their attitude. They are very dissatisfied with the current profit margin. If the manufacturers can't lower the price as soon as possible, they intend to throw all the orders to the foot basin.

Can develop an adapter card, you say they can't make a computer?

Obviously, people feel that the profit is not enough, so they have no interest in participating. You all can do whatever you want, and we won't earn this hard-earned money.

The investment bank is indeed having a headache for the valuation. This guy's profit margin is too high. Although he is still investing, it is far from the speed at which he is making money.

Not to mention software companies, his movie company has people who want to invest. This difficulty is obviously greater. He has 100 million US dollars in his hand. How do you plan to invest?

Facing the inquiry from the investment bank, William White was very speechless and could only refuse with a wry smile. He planned to burn the money first, otherwise the financing would be useless and he could not deposit it in the bank.

Investment banks are also very depressed, Hollywood financing is not uncommon, and producers are busy with this job. People are looking for funds everywhere, and this guy's money has nowhere to go.

Hollywood's big productions are very strange, and the giants can't afford it. Many of them are foreign funds, and the capital contribution of the giants may only be 30%. Of course everyone is happy when they make money, but they are unlucky if they hit the street.

Hollywood's mechanism is still very good, and the proportion of theater operators' commission is very low, which is unique in the world.

The celestial dynasty of the later generations is more powerful, basically half and half. In fact, theater chain operators have nothing to do. The tax ratio is quite satisfactory. Movie theaters are generally located in shopping malls, and the rent is very outrageous. If the movies are not very reliable, theater chain operators will still lose money.

The only advantage is that there are many people. As long as your movie is good, any box office record is just a cloud, and it will be broken anyway.

These are things for the future, not at this time. Except for a few big cities, other places are open-air cinemas.

They also have this kind of thing. They call it a drive-in theater. It’s actually a ridiculous thing. It’s just a screen in an open-air parking lot. It's not mainly about watching movies, these are all for the convenience of young couples.

I have to say that the old beauty of this era is really messy enough. I don't know how I figured it out. I hope the sound of the movie is loud enough, otherwise it will be quite lively.

William White returned to Silicon Valley, his micro-database has been initially completed, although there are still some flaws, but he is very satisfied.

He decided to educate Larry Ellison, don't mess with me again, wait for my database to appear, and see where your face is put.

"Speed ​​up the test, notify Apple and other companies, come here if you are interested, I will give you another month at most."

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely finish it."

"Okay, very good, two more months' salary next month, keep working hard."

For Laomei, everything is fake, and the beautiful knife is their favorite thing.
