Chapter 234 Joint Statement

"Please rest assured, we can only sell the right to use the most critical technologies such as storage technology and semiconductor technology for tens of millions of dollars at most. If we can't come up with that much money, it doesn't matter. We can invest in technology. It all depends on you."

Choose, and then we will hand it over to the company's negotiation department to discuss these matters with you!" Yang Chaoye said with a smile.

Big companies such as IBM and Kodak felt relieved when they heard that the most important technology like storage only costs tens of millions of dollars.

For them, as long as they obtain key technologies, they can immediately regain their competitiveness.

IBM's size is tens of billions of dollars, and spending one to two hundred million to buy a few technologies is a completely trivial matter.

Moreover, IBM's business is not only in the computer field. They are involved in many high-tech research and development. The short-term backwardness of computer technology does not have a big impact on them.

Of course, their most important business is computers.

However, today’s technology is lagging behind, so there is nothing we can do about it.

"I hope Mr. Yang can issue a joint statement with us regarding these matters you mentioned, and as soon as possible. I hope this statement can be issued today!" Mr. Frank T. Cary, President of IBM, said directly.

Frank T. Cary’s words were supported by many people.

"Mr. Frank T. Cary is right. If Mr. Yang has no objection, I hope we will discuss the content of the joint statement immediately. Otherwise, the stock market will definitely usher in a catastrophic moment. At that time, what will our beautiful government do?

It's hard to deal with your Su Group!" Kodak's tone was full of threats.

"Brother Chaoye, this statement must be issued immediately, at least before the stock market opens tomorrow. We must make this statement to let investors know! Otherwise, it will be a disaster for the technology industry!"

Even Zhang Zhongmou persuaded him.

Yang Chaoye knew very well that the reason why they asked Su Group to issue this joint statement with them was entirely to stabilize the rise and fall of the stock.

You know, the technology companies behind these big guys here are all listed companies.

What if all investors suddenly know that the technology of these companies has seriously fallen behind?

Of course these companies are no longer worth their market value at this time, and the stock market will definitely fall sharply.

The most terrifying thing in the stock market is the continuous falling limit, which is definitely a devastating blow to major shareholders.

When technology companies encounter bottlenecks, many rely on financing and listing to arbitrage money to continue research and development. It is not easy to make a profit.

Moreover, the major shareholders of these listed companies will basically mortgage their equity to securities companies in order to obtain cash flow. If the stock price drops too much, the shareholders' mortgage assets will naturally be greatly reduced.

In order to prevent large risks, securities companies usually set liquidation lines and early warning lines above borrowings and costs. If the stock price drops too much, the securities companies will immediately sell these stocks to pay off the debt. In this way, the company's equity can be

The change has had a huge impact.

And if Yang Chaoye agrees to issue this joint statement, it means that their technology will only lag half a year behind at most. By then they will naturally be able to catch up, and even if the stock market falls, it will not fall badly.

In this way, although it will still have a certain impact on the stock market, it will at least be within control.

Su Cheng didn't understand these twists and turns very well, but Yang Chaoye explained it to him in Chinese in a low voice from the side, and he understood it.

"Then just publish it. We can't offend all technology companies to death." Su Cheng smiled nonchalantly.

"I think so too. It's hard for two hands to beat four hands, and even good men are afraid of group fights. There are some things where you still have to give in." Yang Chaoye agreed.

In fact, the most important thing is that if you are afraid of government intervention, it is better to discuss these matters with these technology giants before the government intervenes. Then the beautiful country's government will have no reason to intervene.

"I understand everyone's thoughts. Please rest assured that I fully support this matter!" Yang Chaoye said to everyone with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't open your mouth to curse those who apologize, and don't stretch your hands to hit those who smile.

Seeing that Yang Chaoye was so sincere, it was hard for everyone to say anything else.

We are all in the same circle, and if you are still aggressive even though others have given in, that is your fault.

"Mr. Chaoye is really grand." The president of the storage technology company said with a smile.

What their company needs most is the storage technology of Oracle Computer Company.

They are just bullying outsiders like the Su Group. If a company like IBM develops these technologies, they will not give in at all and will only monopolize these technologies.

Of course, there are costs. For example, IBM has been punished by the federal government many times for engaging in monopoly.

However, IBM is willing to pay a fine rather than disclose those technologies, because for them, although the penalty is heavy, the benefits of not disclosing it are greater.

The Su Group is different from them. It is not a company from the beautiful country. If the Su Group wants to get involved here, it will be impossible to achieve a monopoly.

Therefore, it is better to make money plainly, with a bigger picture, first improve the overall technological level of the earth, and then slowly harvest the wool.

Technology that is ten years ahead must be made public, but technology that is one year ahead cannot be made public, right? You won’t develop it yourself?

By then, when they have developed a technology that is almost at the same level as that of Oracle Computer Company, and are proudly releasing the product, Oracle Computer Company has already developed the next generation product again.

After all, Beautiful Country is the largest market in the world today. Neither Su City nor Yang Chaoye are willing to lose this market.

Moreover, the market is so big that it is impossible to achieve a monopoly. It is better to be more generous and sell the right to use it, and you can gain a lot.

At this point, everyone is no longer interested in the food in front of them, and they all want to discuss a joint statement immediately.

So, after eating, at the suggestion of the president of IBM, they went to the conference room of a nearby IBM office building and began to draft a joint statement.

16 people actually represent 12 companies.

Among these 12 companies, Oracle Computer Company can be said to be the weakest.

However, no one dares to underestimate it now.

Just releasing a product forced 11 leading information technology companies to join forces. Who dares to underestimate it?

Soon, the first draft of the joint statement was drawn up during discussions with many big shots.

The president of IBM also specifically called their legal department to check it out. After confirming that it was correct, he started to shake people up.

The targets are naturally those media reporters.
Chapter completed!
