Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "Yes, I know reverse reasoning!"

"So I guessed it right? Are you really planning to short Nasdaq? Tell us about your detailed plan!" Lin Xi said excitedly.

"Is there any detailed plan? Didn't I say that the time is not yet ripe?" Yang Mo said.

"When will the time be mature? Should we open a position in Nasdaq futures in advance?" Lin Xi continued to ask.

"What position to build? According to the current trend, the best time to build a position is when the Nasdaq index rises to 4800-5000 points!" Yang Mo said with a bitter smile.

"To say it for a long time is to say nothing. What if it never rises to 4800 points?" Lin Xi muttered.

"Then just keep waiting! The biggest taboo in financial transactions is to be as impetuous as you are now!" Yang Mo said angrily.

Lin Xi rolled her eyes at Yang Mo and said nothing. She also realized that she was a little too excited. The timing of opening a stock index futures position is a top priority. The cost of holding a position can often determine the outcome of a long-short game!

"Mr. Yang, I understand clearly about Blizzard Game Company. It is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the French Vivendi Group! I am planning to go to Paris in person in the next few days..."

Qian Ning's words brought back long-lasting memories of Yang Mo. Game nerds among the first generation of Internet users in China had an almost fanatical admiration for Blizzard Game Company. The mantra that Blizzard's products must be high-quality products is deeply popular.

Although this was a great gaming company in the PC era, it eventually stepped down in the mobile gaming era and gradually declined...

"Vivendi Group?" Yang Mo asked in surprise.

"The Vivendi Group was formerly known as French General Water Company and changed its name to Vivendi a year ago. It is a giant media multinational group with business scope including music, television, film, publishing, telecommunications, Internet and electronic games and other industries. Years ago, it acquired Havas, the parent company of Blizzard Games. In the past two years, Blizzard Games has successively launched two world-famous games, Warcraft and StarCraft, and has become the darling of capital. In three years, , the parent company was resold six times..." Channing explained.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "Forget it, you stay in Silicon Valley to prepare for Amazon's road show and ring the bell, and Lin Xi comes to France with me!"

"You want me to go to Nasdaq to ring the bell? Mr. Yang, is it appropriate for you not to go to such a big event?" Qian Ning asked in surprise.

"What's inappropriate? You are now the president of Amazon! Ringing the bell is just a formality. Heping will cooperate with you to stabilize Amazon's stock price!" Yang Mo said disapprovingly.

...............

Paris France.

Vivendi Group Headquarters.

Vivendi Group attaches great importance to Yang Mo's visit, and CEO Mari Messier, who has just taken office, is personally responsible for the reception.

"Mr. Yang, Vivendi Group has the world's leading technology accumulation in electric power, public water affairs and environmental governance. We can establish strategic partnerships with Zhiyuan Group in many aspects. We have also been one of Cisco's major customers. , we are also one of the largest book and audio-visual publishers in Europe, and have established a good cooperative relationship with Amazon!" After a brief exchange of greetings, Mari Messier expressed his willingness to establish long-term and in-depth cooperation with Zhiyuan Group!

"Mr. Messier, Zhiyuan Group is also very willing to establish a strategic partnership with Vivendi. To be honest, I made a special trip to Europe this time to inspect power and tap water suppliers. Zhiyuan Mining Group has companies in Asia, Africa and Latin America." For many projects, as you know, the local infrastructure is really difficult to describe..." Yang Mo threw out a bait with a sincere look.

Mari Messier said overjoyed: "Mr. Yang, you can rest assured that Vivendi's core business is the construction of public facilities such as electricity and water services. It has a history of a hundred years. We will design the optimal plan according to your needs." , you don’t have to worry about the cost. For future long-term strategic cooperation, we will give a very sincere quotation..."

Yang Mo secretly cursed in his heart, of course you want to cooperate for a long time, you can increase the price unscrupulously in the future!The water supply of some cities in western China has suffered from your losses.

"Mr. Messio, can we change the way of cooperation and set up a joint venture between Zhiyuan Group and Vivendi to provide power, water and other public facilities services through this joint venture?" Yang Mo said with a smile.

"It is not impossible to establish a joint venture. Vivendi can also provide technology licensing to the joint venture, but we can only give Zhiyuan Group a maximum of 20% of the shares!" Mari Messio said after a brief moment of confusion.

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "Zhiyuan Group has never been interested in companies that cannot be controlled..."

"No... no, this is absolutely impossible! Zhiyuan has never been involved in the field of public facilities services. Vivendi is the technology provider and will give you at most 25% of the equity of the joint venture! This is our bottom line!" Mari-Mei Theo said.

"Zhiyuan can provide the most important market and funds. As for your technology authorization, it is not an irreplaceable high-precision technology. We can definitely acquire a power and water company..." Yang Mo said disapprovingly.

"Mr. Yang, Vivendi's technical accumulation and engineering management experience in public facilities are not comparable to your acquisition of a second-rate European company, otherwise you would not come to Vivendi to inspect it in person!" Mali Messi Ai said confidently.

"Mr. Messio, I am very sorry that we have not been able to reach a consensus with you for the time being. I hope we will have other opportunities for cooperation in the future!" Yang Mo showed his usual toughness in negotiations and was about to stand up and leave...

Mari Messio was stunned for a moment!How can there be such a negotiation?Turn the table over if you disagree?You wouldn't fly all the way from the United States to Paris just to say these few words to me, would you?

After a brief daze, Mari Messio enthusiastically persuaded him: "Mr. Yang, there is no need to rush! We can sit down and discuss the specific details of the cooperation slowly! It is a rare trip to Paris for you and Miss Lin, so you should have a good taste of it." The food and fashion culture of Paris also give us at Vivendi an opportunity to show our friendship as landlords..."

Yang Mo said with a sincere smile: "Mr. Messio, thank you very much for your hospitality! It's just that our trip to Europe is very tight this time, and we only have two days in Paris..."

"Mr. Yang, there should be room for discussion regarding the equity distribution of the joint venture. In order to achieve a long-term strategic partnership with Zhiyuan Group, we are willing to make some concessions within our capabilities..." Mari Messier thought. After a while, I finally started to let go...
