344 Market Structure
The next time, Prince Wang maintained a very vigorous working state. Of course, most of the specific matters were left to Ouyang and Tang Sen to handle. However, he either made plans in the office or inspected the laboratory of Prince Tang’s R&D Center every day.
The share of the first batch of super graphene batteries within the alliance has been determined. Apple, which is rich and powerful, has obtained 40% of the share, Huawei has divided 35%, while Xiaomi, which is relatively weak, can only divide 25%. This is roughly equivalent to Prince Wang's previous estimate. With this batch of orders, it directly brought billions of dollars in the company's income. However, after some operation, the money was directly transferred to Tang Sen, as a way to absorb amd in the US stock market.
The negotiations between Prince Datang and Amd were not going smoothly. Although the visit of Prince Datang's headquarters among the senior leaders was the most lively news in the media during that period, no specific issue was reached in the acquisition process. Both sides were very tough on the negotiation conditions. Of course, neither of them had completely closed the negotiation window. As Prince Wang said, Amd saw that Prince Datang's chips really needed their chip manufacturing base, so he naturally wanted to maximize their interests.
Of course, Amd does continue to have huge financial support. Now Amd has begun to lay off employees around the world to save costs and deal with the bankruptcy crisis. So Prince Wang also slowed down the negotiation pace. Under this circumstance, Amd began to relax a little, but there were still major differences between the two sides on some patents and price issues.
After all, for the whole world, there is no other company that is more suitable for acquiring amd than them. Others bought amd but cannot use Intel's 86 architecture. What's the use of this?
However, the Prince of Datang is not without competitors. For example, he has received rumors recently that Microsoft and Intel are interested in acquiring Amd. This directly led to the fact that Amd's stock price has performed well recently. Although their financial situation is still bad, it has risen by nearly 100% compared with the downturn. From a stock of US$1.51 on the verge of bankruptcy to 3.17 today. Of course, the Prince of Datang's news about Amd cannot be completely confidential, especially when the senior management of Amd made a special trip to China to visit the Prince of Datang's headquarters, this also made Amd's stock popular to a certain extent.
This is hard to simply attribute to good or bad news for the Prince of Tang. Because in the past few months, the institution entrusted by Tang Sen has acquired 40.73 million shares of Amd in the secondary market of the US stock market, accounting for 4.93% of Amd's total shares, and has quietly become Amd's fourth largest shareholder. If it weren't for the raising of the leaps, he would be afraid of alarming the enemy.
More importantly, these are all shares acquired during the period of Amd's stock price sluggish, with an average acquisition price of only US$1.79. Even if the final acquisition is not successful, at least it will make a big profit in the US stock market.
Prince Wang didn't worry much about these things, and it didn't matter whether he made money in the stock market or not. He was concerned about the market performance of 3D virtual operating systems and super graphene batteries.
That's right, three months passed in a flash, and Apple's autumn press conference also opened as scheduled. Although Tim Cook personally invited Prince Wang as a guest to the 2016 autumn new product launch conference held at Apple headquarters and promised that the unpleasant things that were previously unpleasant, Prince Wang still politely declined.
However, this does not mean that Prince Wang doesn’t care about Apple’s press conference. To be honest, Apple products are selling well now. Prince Datang benefits even more. After all, Apple now uses the PU and GPU provided by Prince Datang’s chips, as well as the highest-end graphene battery products.
Apple's press conference was very successful. The Apple team, who is already good at creating an atmosphere, created a press conference that seemed to be moving forward in the science fiction world. It can be imagined that the sensation caused. The 7 released this time is divided into two versions, but not by the size of the phone, but by the different batteries it carries.
One is the ordinary version of 7 equipped with ordinary batteries, and the other is the 7gnp version equipped with graphene batteries. However, even the lowest-equipped 64g version of the ordinary version 7 has exceeded US$1,200, and the 7gnp with the same memory is more than US$400 more than the ordinary 7. However, from the online reservation quantity, the first batch of 7gnp was booked almost as soon as it was launched.
Many people have to queue up until two months before they can get the spot stock after they have paid. Although China is also among the country this time, due to the shortage of supply, many Apple fans still have to get the goods from the scalpers.
After all, many rich people can't wait for a few months to enjoy this new high-tech product. At the craziest time, a 7gnp was even hotly hyped to nearly 30,000 yuan.
Fortunately, not long after Apple's autumn new product launch conference, Huawei and Xiaomi launched their own 3D virtual smartphones, Huawei's mate3d series, Honor 3d series and Xiaomi's Xiaomi noet3d, quickly began to occupy the market while Apple's products were in short supply.
However, even though Chinese mobile phones have always been known for their high cost performance, the price of Huawei mate3d equipped with graphene batteries is still at an unprecedented 7,800 yuan. Even 3D virtual smartphones with ordinary batteries are priced at 5,800 yuan.
Although the price is high, it is still very popular.
After all, countless people were looking forward to using cool naked-eye 3D devices three months ago, so the first batch of products were basically sold out as soon as they were launched.
This situation even lasted for two months. This was not because the three manufacturers colluded to play hunger marketing together. The production capacity was actually limited by all aspects, especially the most popular high-end version equipped with graphene, because the supply of Datang Crown Prince has never been kept up, which directly led to a long-term out of stock.
This also made Prince Wang very troubled, because he was not expanding the production scale. In fact, there were enough manufacturers who came to negotiate cooperation with him during this period, but after all, producing new batteries requires large batches of equipment, and it is indeed not easy to reorganize the production line in such a short time.
Of course, the hot sales of Apple, Huawei and Xiaomi are definitely a nightmare compared to other brands of products. These three companies naturally seize the market share of other manufacturers.
