Silicon Valley

Since spaceX's rocket recovery experiment, Henry has accelerated his acquisitions of other companies. If Henry established a country, he would not be so free to buy other companies.

Cisco was negotiating with Lucent some time ago, and finally completed a wholly-owned acquisition of Lucent for US$30 billion on January 20.

After the acquisition of Lucent, it will be able to cooperate with Qualcomm to develop 4G networks at a faster speed. In Henry's plan, in the future, 4G will be used as an entry point to allow Williams Telecom to enter various countries in the world. The cost of building a 4G network is not low, and many telecom companies have no funds or are not cheap. Williams Telecom's approach is to help them build a 4G network in order to hold local telecom companies.

Everyone should know what kind of profiteering industry telecommunications is. Television, the Internet, and telephone are all the businesses of telecommunications companies, and there are countless telecommunications companies worth tens of billions of dollars! Moreover, there are many merger cases in the telecommunications industry. In the history of business, Vodafone Telecom of the United Kingdom acquired Mannesmann Telecom of Germany, which involved nearly 400 billion Deutsche Marks, or about 185 billion US dollars.

Henry didn't let Williams Telecom buy other big telecom companies, mainly because it was too expensive. He would rather acquire a medium-sized telecommunications company, and then cooperate with the 4G network and iPhone to grab users. If the Android system is to be launched in the future, the company under Henry's name must be the first to develop Android smartphones. Therefore, there is no doubt that Android smartphones are also the first to be distributed to Williams Telecom and its subsidiaries for publicity. Henry didn't believe it anymore. After such a series of plans, the telecommunications company might not be able to develop? ?

Opening up the market with a small enough cost and monopolizing it is what Henry wants to see.

The competition in Europe and the United States is huge, and Williams Telecom can grab more market share with iPhone and 4G. Although China has a large population, telecommunications can only be operated by state-owned enterprises, and Henry has nothing to do. In the future, the most worthy markets are South America, India, Southeast Asia and Africa. However, there is a telecommunications giant rising wildly in South America at the moment, and this is the very famous Mexican American telecommunications company.

Founded in Mexico City in 2000, América Telecom is the leading operator in Latin America. In 2007, the company will become the largest company in Latin America, surpassing giants such as Petrobras in terms of market value. Carlos Slim Helu, the person in charge of the company, even once countered Bill Gates and became the richest man! ! !

For such a fast-growing company, Henry naturally hopes to acquire its shares. Subsequently, Henry asked Carlos Slim Helu to send an acquisition invitation, proposing to acquire 70% of the shares of Mexican American Telecom for US$30 billion! However, Henry was rejected that day. Mexico America Telecom has formed a monopoly in Mexico, and its industry has also covered Latin America. Its business is booming, and it is not willing to sell at all.

Henry frowned, and sent a reply letter: "Accept my investment, Mexico American Telecom can monopolize the entire Latin America, otherwise, it will be an enemy of Williams Telecom!!!" Henry said harshly, although the stuck Los Slim Helu is awesome in Mexico, but in Henry's eyes, it's still not good enough! More than March, the Iraq War broke out. Henry is in a hurry now and doesn't want to talk nonsense with him. In short, it's either a friend or an enemy!

Carlos Slim Helu was very tough and even expressed disdain for Henry. He sent an email with such a simple sentence in it.

"Mexico is mine!!!"

The implication of this sentence is that you Henry Williams is nothing special, I am not afraid of you, I am a local snake in Mexico, if you are a dragon, you have to be coiled by me, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down That... In fact, they are declaring war on Henry!

Henry finished reading the email, couldn't help but smiled contemptuously, and didn't say anything.

Three days later, Williams Telecom bought Iusacell, Mexico's third-largest mobile operator, for $2 billion. The next day, Iusacell changed its name to Williams Telecom. On the day of the name change, people in Mexico entered the store one after another, changed their mobile phone cards, and became users of Williams Telecom.

"Ah, Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, entered Mexico Telecom. Don't think about it, his company's service must be the best!!!"

Many people in the world have already blindly worshiped Henry, because his achievements are too heaven-defying, and it is simply beyond the reach of a normal person. Every company he founded is in the leading position in the industry. There are hundreds of companies in the world's top 500 companies that are privately owned by him. It is unbelievable. But the fact is that, apart from worshiping, everyone still worships! ! !

Iusacell changed its face and became Williams Telecom Company. Although the service was still the same as before, its value and status changed immediately. People believed in the "Williams" brand and were willing to open accounts with Williams Telecom Company!

So, before Henry could make much effort, he instantly snatched about 10% of the Mexican American Telecom's market in Mexico.

After Carlos Slim Helu saw the data report, his face was livid with anger. An employee said to him: "Chairman, you can't blame America Telecom for not being able to do it, but blame it for being so powerful! The four words 'Williams' alone are worth trillions of dollars..." After finishing speaking, the name A look of helplessness flashed across the employee's face.

"What happened to Williams Telecom these days?" Carlos Slim Helu asked in a deep voice.

"There is no movement, Henry Williams just changed the name of Iusacell Company, and then it seems to be ignored..."

"Don't care??" Carlos Slim Helu couldn't help frowning. The more Henry was like this, the more worried Carlos Slim Helu was.

A week passed, and suddenly there was news that Henry had acquired a 65% stake in Oi, Brazil's largest fixed-line operator and fourth largest mobile operator, for US$10 billion.

When Carlos Slim Helu heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief, and he couldn't help muttering: "Mexico American Telecom once offered to acquire 50.1% of Oi's shares for US$8 billion, and the other party didn't agree." Ken promised, but now Henry Williams bought 65% of the shares of Oi for $10 billion, how is this possible?"

Brazil is an extremely huge market. First, its comprehensive strength ranks first in Latin America, and its economic structure is already very close to the level of developed countries. Second, Brazil has a population of nearly 200 million. No matter which telecommunications company it is, they all covet and covet the Brazilian market.

Henry is also willing to spend more money to acquire Brazilian telecommunications giant Oi. Then, with the Oi company as the basic disk, it expanded outwards and occupied the entire South America. In fact, Henry not only spent US$10 billion to acquire Oi, but also promised to take the lead in helping Oi Telecom establish a 4G network in Brazil. At the same time, he also allowed Oi Telecom to have an exclusive iPhone contract machine. With the iPhone launch less than two months away, there's no need to keep it under wraps. When negotiating with Oi, the negotiator sent by Henry showed the iPhone, which is called a magic weapon, and immediately stunned everyone on the other side.

"As soon as the iPhone comes out, the number of Oi users will explode!"

At this moment, the negotiators of Oi Telecom looked at each other, and they all had the same idea in their hearts!

Therefore, the following negotiations went smoothly, and the price was also greatly discounted.

Oi Telecom is well-known in Brazil and even South America, so after being acquired, Henry did not change its name, but only existed as a subsidiary of Williams Telecom. However, in order to show its identity, the signboard of Oi Telecom Company has the "Williams" logo printed on it.

In less than a month, Henry has deployed telecommunications companies in South America, mainly Oi Telecom.

In Southeast Asia and other places, Henry is mainly based on Hong Kong Telecom. Currently, it has 40 to 50 million users in Southeast Asia and other places, and its influence is quite large.

In India and Africa, Henry has not yet established a telecom operator, which is completely blank. However, Cisco and Lucent have a near monopoly on telecommunications equipment in India and Africa. Although India and Africa are relatively poor, Henry paid more attention to these two major markets and let Cisco enter early. There are too many countries in Africa, which are relatively chaotic. Not to mention, after the founding of Madagascar in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities. In India, Henry has already set his sights on a target, and that is Bharti Telecom! The company's name is awesome, and its strength is naturally not bad. As far as Henry knows, Bharti Telecom will become the leader in India's mobile communication market in the future, and its market share in the fixed line market will rank second, only behind the Indian state-owned operator BSNL. In 2014, the number of India's Bharti Telecom users exceeded 300 million, becoming the third largest mobile operator in the world, second only to China Mobile and Vodafone.

Compared with China's telecommunications market, which is mainly dominated by three operators, the Indian telecommunications market is much more lively, with as many as a dozen operators participating in the market competition, while Bharti Telecom, as a private company, was able to break out of the encirclement in the end. It shows that it is extraordinary. If Henry buys Bharti Telecom now, it will be a very good investment. In the future, India's population will surpass China's. With a population base of 14.5 billion, the telecommunications industry is naturally a very profitable business. With the support of Bharti Telecom, products from Cisco, Lucent, and Qualcomm can also be sold to it, and it can further consolidate the status of Henry's Apple and Internet companies in India!

You should know that although Apple can help telecom operators increase users, at the same time, telecom operators can also help Apple sell mobile phones, and the two complement each other. Henry bought so many telecommunications companies, plus Williams stores, department stores, supermarkets, and Nicholas International E-Commerce Company, etc., under the joint efforts of all channels, how many mobile phones can be sold? Oh, it is unimaginable!

When Henry acquired Oi Telecom, he also sent a letter of intent to Bharti Telecom at the same time, intending to spend 8 billion US dollars to acquire Bharti Telecom. At this time, Bharti Telecom was still a medium-sized telecom company, facing severe challenges Competitive pressure, 8 billion US dollars is not a small amount, and Henry only needs 60% of their shares.

In fact, Bharti Telecom doesn't need to think too much, being close to Henry is tantamount to being close to the God of Wealth, whether it is funds, resources or channels, they are unparalleled. Therefore, Bharti Telecom quickly agreed to Henry's acquisition request. On the third day after Henry acquired Oi Telecom, he also successfully acquired Bharti Telecom. The first thing to do next is to stamp the Bharti Telecom Company with the "Williams" LOGO, declaring ownership!

After a series of acquisitions, Henry currently owns Williams Telecom (including Iusacell), Brazil Oi Telecom, Hong Kong Telecom, and Bharti Telecom, basically meeting Henry's layout requirements in global telecommunications. In addition, Africa is also very important. Madagascar and Africa face each other across the sea. If Africa develops and its people have high spending power, they can also profit a lot from it! In the future, Africa may become a dumping ground for Madagascar's products.

Henry's multiple acquisitions are shocking.

The media said: "Henry Williams has acquired many telecommunications companies around the world, and is about to build a telecommunications empire!!!"

However, just when everyone thought that Henry was going to stop the acquisition.

On February 10th, Henry spent US$16 billion to fully acquire Nvidia, Nvidia, a global leader in graphics technology and digital media processors, and a world-renowned Fortune 500 company!

On February 19th, Henry spent another US$24.5 billion to acquire Applied Materials, which is the world's largest nano-manufacturing technology company and has been the leader in the field of semiconductor production equipment for many years. This will greatly improve the level of chip manufacturing technology and improve Quality, reduce production costs! With this company, there is no need to rely on other companies to manufacture chips in the future, and the equipment used is the best in the world!

On February 28, Henry spent another US$32 billion to acquire the American information storage information technology company EMC (Emc), whose main business is information storage and management products, services and solutions, especially in Cloud computing has a very unique technology. And after the acquisition of EMC, its subsidiary VMware also belongs to Henry. VMware is a virtual machine software. It is a global leader in desktop-to-data center virtualization solutions. Its future market value will reach more than 30 billion U.S. dollars.
