Chapter 1343: It’s Not Enough to Have Money

"Mr. Xiao! Sony is looking forward to joining the camp of the app store, and please consider my request carefully!"

Sitting on the balcony of a villa in Tokyo's Minato District, Takakawa Teruki said to Xiao Qi full of expectations.

He is also a decisive person, knowing that if he beat around the bush with someone like Xiao Qi, he would not get good results at all, so he went straight to the point.

Sony is very concerned about the app store. They participated in the construction of the website of the Global Music Alliance at the beginning, and helped Qiao help the sales of music electronic copyrights of iTunes.

It's just that their vision is still not so advanced. They didn't expect the era of smart electronics to come so fast, and they didn't expect Xiao Qi to launch the dream pad app store so quickly, which directly attracted all smart electronics enthusiasts.

This is the case in the era of electronic innovation. Once you are one step ahead, you are ahead of an era.

When Xiao Qi continued to use the huge user base of dream pad to recruit programmers and game software companies to enter the dream pad application store, in turn, these various games and application programs attracted more people to like dream pad. pad, buy a dream pad, and start using various apps on the dream pad.

People outside, suffering from the fact that they have no smart electronic products at all, can only watch helplessly as Xiao Qi continues to expand the influence of the dream pad app store.

The most frustrating thing for everyone is that iphone, the world-shattering overlord of smart phones, also announced to join the camp of the dream pad application store, which completely wiped out the idea of ​​others wanting to re-establish the app store —— Lian Qiao Gang So people who are unwilling to cooperate with others, and finally succumbed to hundreds of thousands or millions of apps in the app store, how can others compete?

If Apple can join the app store camp. It also makes sense to buy 5% of the shares of the app store. After all, the stamina of the iPhone must be stronger than that of the dream pad.

But why can Samsung also buy 5% of the app store shares?

Look at the greatness of their pads coming to the market.

That is, from that moment on. Everyone has more ideas about Xiao Qi's 90% app store shares.

Japanese businessmen have always had one approach to what they like: make it their own.

The shares of the app store are of course a good thing. After buying them, not only will they continue to increase in value, but they can also enhance their ability to control the smart electronics market.

For Sony, the latter point is more exciting than the previous reason for making money.

But the app store's valuation is simply too high, when Samsung and Apple buy stakes. It was overestimated to 200 billion US dollars.

With the progress of the subprime mortgage crisis, the valuations of most companies have been declining. The three major rating agencies, Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch, are busy giving people lower credit ratings, but the evaluation of the app store is still aaa+, stronger and stronger than bp and Coca-Cola.

Therefore, the valuation of the app store has increased a bit, reaching 220 billion US dollars.

Even if Sony wants to buy 5% of the shares, it will have to spend 11 billion US dollars. It really made them feel terrified.

No matter how powerful Sony is, it will come up with 11 billion US dollars at once. It is also a helpless thing.

During this period of time, not only Sony was having a meeting to discuss, but the considerations and helplessness of other companies were almost the same as Sony.

Everyone should not only consider the issue of buying 5% now, but also consider the issue of additional purchases when Xiao Qi wants to sell the shares again in the future-the amount will only get higher and higher at that time!

On weekdays, everyone thinks that they are rich, but now they have experienced the Internet age. Only then did I know what real money burning is.

It's crazy!

Sony cursed these network electronic technology companies. On the one hand, they were also actively responding, and finally, during the few days when Xiao Qi arrived in Japan, the discussion had a major breakthrough.

That's why Gao Chuanhuishu came to Xiao Qi.

His asking price is $11 billion in cash for a 5% stake in the App Store.

This Sony is almost throwing pots and pieces of iron, collecting all the cash flow, and paying a high price only after paying a part of the loan, but it has no effect in Gao Chuanhui's expectation.

"I refuse." The boy replied lightly.

Gao Chuanhuishu's heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden, holding back his disappointment, he asked in a harmonious voice: "Why? Mr. Xiao, is our price not satisfied? It can still be negotiated!"

Now that 11 billion US dollars has been given out, it doesn't matter if the valuation is higher. Sony's think tank has already considered this point.

The price they can bear is 12 billion US dollars, and the corresponding valuation is already 240 billion US dollars. I believe that no matter how big Xiao Qi's appetite is, he should be satisfied.

Xiao Qi shook his head, "It's not a matter of money. App stores only consider companies with strong capabilities in the field of mobile communications. Sony is not suitable."

"No!" Teruki Gao Chuan frowned, "With all due respect, Mr. Xiao, although Sony Ericsson's market share is not too high, it is still higher than that of Samsung?"

"Samsung has the most complete hardware capabilities and can provide Fairy Company with the best hardware components, but Sony does not." Xiao Qi explained, "In the era of smart electronics, many of Samsung's hardware are very important. And Sony's components are too dependent on other manufacturers, and they have no advantages except for cameras and liquid crystals. Besides, your mobile phone patents and wireless communication patents are not many, and they are all in the hands of Ericsson."

Being able to become Sony's representative director and chairman, Takakawa Teruki's emotional intelligence is undoubtedly very high, and he quickly found a breakthrough from Xiao Qi's words.

"Mr. Xiao means, if we can get these patents from Ericsson and sell them to Xiannv Company, will our cooperation be successful?" (To be continued...)
