Chapter 575: The Storm Rises in the Imperial Palace
The concubine is often arrogant: the eldest lady of the poison doctor, (three watches)
Others only know that antivirus software includes Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton, and Little Red Umbrella, but as everyone knows, in fact, there are many foreign companies that make computer antivirus software. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info[Burn^Text^Library][]. [774] [buy]. [ ] Buckwheat Sho Shang
I don't dare to say that it is as much as a cow's hair, but the number of hundreds is used, otherwise the security core technology of 360 would not be so easy to buy.
Xiao Qi will not buy the technology of American antivirus software companies, these companies, like the American military, are not honest people, and they like to leave some back doors or something, don't cause any trouble for themselves at that time, that is what makes you cry without tears.
Teenagers will not buy Huaguo's antivirus software company technology, because no matter which one they are, they are very weak in terms of real technology, otherwise they will not be beaten by Kaspersky in a year or two and almost have no foothold.
So from the very beginning, Xiao Qi set the target of the acquisition in European countries.
Compared with the treachery of the Americans, the Europeans are still much kinder.
Kaspersky ...... No, not to mention that it is too large and costs too much, people are not short of money at all, and it is impossible to sell it.
There is also another Russian antivirus software big spider (dr.web), the technology is also very good, but if you look at its research and development unit - the Russian National Academy of Sciences, you will know that it is impossible to sell technology to the Chinese, Uncle Putin's office uses this software, and the core technology is sold to you, do you want to steal Russia's top secret?
The little red umbrella is German, and Xiao Qi has a natural lack of affection for the Germans, so he will put it aside for the time being.
There are two antivirus software companies in the Czech Republic, one is called a.vg and the other is called A.Vast, both of which are among the top 10 excellent security products in the world, and both companies are not expensive, and one can be bought for about 400 million US dollars. The other one is a little more expensive, and it only costs $500 million, and it is less than 1 billion when packaged.
The Czech Republic is a small country, and there will not be too many obstacles for fairy companies to buy their core technology and integrate their working R&D personnel.
In addition, Xiao Qi has another choice. That is Romania's Bitdefender, which is very good in the technology of personal computer user security protection, Kaspersky's comprehensive strength will lose to it, in the past few years, several authoritative websites have been ranked, Kaspersky has ranked second, and the first place is Bitdefender.
And in terms of the proportion of users in Western Europe, Bitdefender is better than Kaspersky.
The key point is that Bitdefender did not directly enter China for development, and its focus has always been on the surrounding developed countries in Western Europe. That's why it's not famous.
Of course, just because a person is strong doesn't mean he will always be strong.
The same is true for a company.
Bitdefender was stronger than Kaspersky a few years ago, but Kaspersky has improved very quickly through its expansion in the world in the past few years, and has completely overwhelmed Bitdefender last year.
But it is undeniable that the group of engineers in Romania. They also have their own outstanding abilities, but their character and the expansion of the company. It's obviously not good at integrating with the market.
And because Bitdefender's development is only in the circle of Western Europe, its current market value is about the same as that of two Czech software companies, at $500 million.
In Xiao Qi's favor, at the end of last year, an investment company invested in Bitdefender, and the majority shareholder of this company was Green Pine Capital. That's Xiao Qi's old friend!
If Xiao Qi wants to buy Bitdefender, then it is definitely a good choice to negotiate with Green Pine Capital on the one hand, and buy the shares in the hands of Green Pine Capital on the other hand.
In contrast, the Czech companies a.vg and A.Vast, which are all controlled by the Czech conglomerates. As a country with an underdeveloped electronics industry, these two antivirus software companies are already the pride of the Czech Republic, and the key is that after the framework is established, its investment does not need to be too large, and they are not ready to expand on a large scale at present, and there is no need for financing or anything.
However, Xiao Qi will not give up hope, he will find the most professional broker company, to negotiate with these three antivirus software companies at the same time, can buy one, can buy all of them is only a billion US dollars, compared to the overall user of more than 3 billion, the overall output value of more than 100 billion US dollars of super market, this money is really not worth mentioning.
As for a professional broker company?
Of course, it's super multinational giants like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup!
And only they have a lot of influence around the world to do this!
For the fact that he had cheated on them before, and now he had to ask them for help again and again, Xiao Qi had no guilt at all.
That's how business works!
Do you dare to say that Goldman Sachs didn't come to earn Xiao Qi's commission money because Xiao Qi cheated them a few times?
Are you kidding!
When there is a business entrustment, they have to climb over!
After a little bit of antivirus software company, Xiao Qi pondered another plunder in Europe.
Starting next year, Greece, a lazy country, will be punished, and then it will directly detonate Spain, Portugal, Italy, ...... and other countries' sovereign debt crises, to put it bluntly, are a bunch of lazy goods!
However, several of them are the main forces in the entire eurozone, so the two giants, France and Germany, have suffered a great extent.
Poor France and Germany, in the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial turmoil, were beaten so much that they could barely get up, recover a little, and have to give blood transfusions to these countries, no wonder the Germans almost overthrew Merkel from power.
If it weren't for Merkel's tearful cry in the Parliament: "We have finally united as one, and if we allow our companions to collapse, then our dream of a Europe will be shattered!" Such words reluctantly allowed Germany to continue to push the EU forward.
Of course, what about these European countries has nothing to do with Xiao Qi, and he can't wait to be like Britain, thinking about how to destroy Europe as a whole all day long! - Don't doubt that in the financial crisis and the sovereign debt crisis, Britain jumped up and down with an absolutely negative image, and did not help its "companions" at all, because a whole Europe is not in the interests of Britain!
In the next few years, the economy of Europe will definitely collapse, for example, Spain's youth unemployment rate has reached 50%, you can imagine how miserable they are.
As for Greece?
Hehe, they have more than 50% of the country's unemployed, and nothing worse than them.
So in the coming years, Greece will sell almost everything.
Ports, airports, municipal buildings, land, islands...... If you are interested, military bases can be discussed!
Look!
Greece is already in the dark, and in order to get rid of the national debt, they want to privatize almost all the state-owned assets, so that they can get rid of the debt.
Although it is shameless and a little bottomless, Xiao Qi has to say that this solution is indeed useful, and can help Greece get out of the debt crisis to a certain extent - if anyone is willing to take over these things.
In the future, Xiao Qi may be interested in some of the things sold in Greece, but for now, he cares not about the infrastructure, but about some of the best electronics companies in Europe.
It should be noted that European electronics companies do not have a large scale, and they will not be like Silicon Valley in the United States, where there are tens of thousands of engineers at every turn, and sometimes a few of them can form a company, and 80% of electronics companies have no more than 100 engineers.
Because of their small size, they are not as promising as Silicon Valley companies.
But don't forget, the small scale does not mean that their technology is not good, in fact, the technology of European engineers is not inferior to that of the United States, if the United States does not absorb talents from all over the world, they will definitely lose to European engineers.
Xiao Qi also likes this kind of small company, because it is convenient for him to buy these companies and directly bring them to work in Huaguo.
Even if they don't want to come to Rongcheng, Xiao Qi is willing to arrange a good working and living environment for them there, such as Dongfang and Yuezhou, which are big cities with many foreigners.
If it really doesn't work, Xiao Qi can also sign a five-year work contract with them, and after five years, they can leave Huaguo, get a good salary, and do what they want to do - anyway, five years is enough time for the engineers of the fairy laboratory to absorb their academic knowledge and experience.
If you want to talk about the European companies that Xiao Qi covets, there are actually many more.
The first is the ARM company, which is responsible for the chip planning of the CPU, although now DreamPad and Dreamstars are trying to use their own technology and weaken ARM's technology, but there is still no way to be completely independent in a short period of time.
For example, the British Imagination Technology Company, which is the company that makes GPU image processors for Xiao Qi.
NXP Semiconductors of the Netherlands, which provides fingerprint recognition technology for Xiaoqi, is also very good.
and Italy's STMicroelectronics, one of the world's top three semiconductor companies, also supplies electronic components such as accelerators for iPhones and iPads.
In addition, the British CSR company has the world's leading technology in WiFi chips, GPS chips and Bluetooth chips, and Xiao Qi said that he also likes it.
……
I think so, but none of the above-mentioned companies are easy to win.
Because the West has a lot of technical barriers to Chinese enterprises.
In the past, Xiao Qi bought their mature technology, and it was a technical solution that was open to the public, so there was no problem, but if it was to put these technologies and talents in one pot, the institutions in the country where they were located would probably not agree.
If you want to truly master these advanced technologies, I am afraid that you have to take advantage of the debt crisis and make more mediation efforts! To be continued......
