It is worth mentioning that in the first quarter of 2008, Huawei's revenue increased instead of falling, with sales reaching US$100 million in the first quarter, of which 75% came from overseas markets.

The key is that in order to maintain a sharp double-digit growth, according to this momentum, Hua's annual sales in 2008 may have exceeded US$23 billion.

Some real economy has been severely impacted, but Huawei's main business, namely communications business, is not affected at all. The overall scale of this industry is increasing, and Huawei's competitiveness is even greater this year, because the economic winter is approaching, and customers don't have much money.

It is said that in order to bid for an order, the opponent bid 20 billion, and in order to bid 10 billion, the competitor was stunned on the spot.

Can this still make a profit?

But Huawei dares to take it, which means there must be some profits to make.

Customers must vote with their feet to choose to hand over the order to Hua. In a sense, the economic winter has actually helped Hua because communication infrastructure is a must for all countries.

However, Bluestar Technology's life this year is definitely not as good as last year. The company has prepared for the whole year's losses, and this year it will rely on cash to survive this cold winter.

Unless the cloud computing business can bring surprises.

Bluestar Technology Group expressed thanks to the fact that the annual revenue in 2008 was able to maintain about US$20 billion. US$15 billion is acceptable, but if the annual revenue is less than US$15 billion, it must reduce expenditures.

If you do not reduce expenses and continue to expand your business, you will need to borrow money to live. Luo Sheng doesn’t have to worry about this.

Even if he borrows money, he will not go to the bank to borrow money. The bank does not have so much money to lend him now, because if he wants to borrow money from the bank, it is not a small amount of hundreds of millions.

Therefore, if Blue Star Technology wants to borrow money, Luo Sheng must have borrowed it with his own money, because he now has more than 40 billion US dollars in cash available at any time.

The capital chain crisis brought about by the economic winter cannot happen to him, so the company will not increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Instead, it will take this opportunity to expand its business globally.

As Bluestar Technology Group released its first quarter report of this year, the company's stock fell, and its after-hours trading market value fell to US$139.5 billion that day.

Seeing the company's stock price continue to plunge, from US$207.1 billion at its peak to less than US$140 billion now, Zhang Bowen couldn't help but buy it back, but fortunately, with the big boss Luo Sheng suppressed him, he was more calm than everyone.

The market value of Bluestar Technology Group will not fall below the 100 billion yuan mark, and Luo Sheng will never take action.

Interestingly, this incident made Marvel Comics Company anxious, for fear that Bluestar Technology's current performance would be poor and would give up the merger and acquisition case in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

...

On the morning of April 18, Avi Arad, who had arrived in a hurry, finally landed at the Shencheng International Airport in China. He reversed the jet lag that day and immediately went straight to Sucheng to visit the headquarters of Blue Star Technology Group, without even having breakfast.

If it weren't for the time being too late, he would even want to visit him directly after getting off the plane.

What surprised Arad was that he thought that the person he met this time would be Zhang Bowen.

The result is Luo Sheng.

Zhang Bowen is the second-ranked person in the group company, and he is even the one who handles the specific facts. He is much busier than Luo Sheng.

The meeting place between the two parties is not at the headquarters of Blue Star Technology Group, but at the headquarters of Costa à, because today Luo Sheng is on Costa à.

At this moment, in the company's reception room, Luo Sheng was interviewing with Avi Arad, the head of Marvel Comics.

"We have to sell the 1.6 billion US dollars, 67% equity. As long as you nod and agree, we can submit documents to the Federal Department of Justice tomorrow." After meeting, Arad said straight to the point.

It's really too late to go.

Before Luo Sheng could respond, Avi Arad quickly added: "But this acquisition form is achieved through cross-holding, and payment is made in the form of Blue Star Technology Group's shares plus part of cash."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled in his heart, but he didn't expect that it was really in line with the wishes of both parties. The senior executives of Marvel Comics still have some vision. Has the initiative to make such a request seen the future potential of Blue Star Technology Group?

"No problem, that's it." Luo Sheng didn't think much and immediately responded to him.

Using the cross-merger and acquisition of Blue Star Technology Group's stocks, the saved cash can be used to buy at the bottom. After several rounds of capital operations, it is equivalent to using a portion of US$1.6 billion to buy at the bottom of its own company's stocks.

Then use part of the stocks obtained by buying at the bottom to be held by Marvel Company, which can save a lot of money to buy back a portion of the stocks. Roughly calculated that Bluestar Technology only purchased Marvel Comics Company for about $900 million.

It is definitely the best solution. Capital games are so magical, and this method is not a high-end gameplay, but it seems simple and unpretentious, but this is a realm that ordinary people cannot do.

Marvel Comics will not lose, it seems to be a loss now, but in the long run, once the stock of Blue Star Technology Group rises, it will make a lot of money, and Luo Sheng will not lose even more. 67% of Marvel Comics' equity already belongs to him.

But there are still prerequisites, that is, don’t sell off the stocks you hold in the middle.

Avi Arad didn't expect that this trip to China would be so smooth. Anyway, it was much smoother than he expected. He originally thought that the other party would lower the price, but the bottom line of Marvel Company was US$1.4 billion.

But this incident did not happen, because Luo Sheng is not a god, he does not know how to read the mind, and it is not just that Marvel Comics is eager to settle this matter before the release of "Iron Man", and the same is true for Luo Sheng.

Once "Iron Man" is released, the situation will be reversed in an instant, and it will not be $1.6 billion by then. Even if Marvel Comics doubles, it may not sell itself.

Time nodes are really important.

Neither side wants too many variables to happen, and Luo Sheng will not care too much about the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The matter is finalized.

After the matter was negotiated, Avi Arad did not stay too much. The draft agreement was completed and the formal contract was signed. It was all settled on the same day. The next day he took a plane back to North America.

It has been a foregone conclusion that Marvel Comics has been merged into Bluestar Technology Group, and the news has also spread, and media from all sides have competed to report it.
