Since SpaceX''s rocket recovery experiment, Henry has accelerated his acquisition of other companies. If Henry had built a country, he would not have been so free to buy other companies.
Cisco was negotiating with lucent some time ago, and finally completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Lucent on January 20 with us $30 billion.
After the acquisition of Lucent, it can cooperate with Qualcomm to develop 4G network at a faster speed. In Henry''s plan, in the future, we will use 4G as the gateway to let Williams Telecom enter all countries in the world. The construction cost of 4G network is not low, many telecom companies have no funds or swing is not low, Williams Telecom''s approach is to help them build 4G network, in order to control the local telecom company.
We should all know what kind of profiteering industry Telecom is. TV, Internet and telephone are all the business of telecommunication companies. There are so many telecommunication companies with tens of billions of dollars! Moreover, there are many merger cases in the telecommunication industry. In the commercial history, Vodafone Telecom of the United Kingdom acquired Mannesmann Telecom of Germany, involving nearly 400 billion Deutschmarks and about 185 billion US dollars.
Henry didn''t let Williams Telecom buy other big telecom companies, mainly because it was too expensive. He would rather buy a medium-sized telecom company, and then cooperate with 4G network and iPhone to grab users. If the Android system is to be launched in the future, the company under Henry''s name will surely take the lead in developing Android smart phones. So, there is no doubt that Android smart phones were also the first to be distributed to Williams Telecom and its subsidiary. Henry doesn''t believe it. If such a series of plans come down, the telecom companies are afraid that they can''t develop??
Henry wanted to open the market at a small enough cost and monopolize it.
The competition between Europe and America is huge, and Williams Telecom is able to seize more market share with its iPhone and 4G. Although China has a large population, telecommunications can only be operated by state-owned enterprises, but Henry has no business. In the future, the most competitive markets are South America, India, Southeast Asia and Africa. However, there is a telecom giant crazily rising in South America at the moment. This is the very famous Mexican Telecom Company America.
Founded in 2000 in Mexico City, Mexico Telecom Americas is a leading operator in Latin America. In 2007, it will become the largest company in Latin America, surpassing Petrobras and other giants by market value. Carlos Slim ELU, the controller of the company, even once attacked Bill Gates and became the richest man!!!
For such a fast-growing company, Henry naturally hopes to buy its shares. Then, Henry sent an invitation to Carlos Slim ERU to buy 70% shares of Mexico Telecom America with 30 billion US dollars! However, Henry was rejected that day. Mexico Telecom America has formed a monopoly in Mexico, and its industry also covers Latin America. Its business is booming, and it is not willing to sell at all.
Henry frowned and gave a reply: "accept my investment, Mexico Telecom America can monopolize the whole of Latin America, otherwise, it will be the enemy of Williams Telecom!" Henry put a hard word, although Carlos Slim ELO in Mexico is very strong, but in Henry''s eyes, still not enough to see! In March, the Iraq war broke out. Henry is in a hurry now. He doesn''t want to talk nonsense with him. In short, he is either a friend or an enemy!
Carlos Slim ELU was very tough, and even disdained Henry. He sent an email, which simply wrote such a sentence.
"Mexico is my territory!"
I''m not afraid of you. I''m a snake of Mexico. You''re a dragon and you''re a tiger. In fact, I''m declaring war on Henry!
After reading the email, Henry couldn''t help laughing contemptuously and didn''t say anything.
Three days later, Williams Telecom purchased Mexico with us $2 billion. After a series of acquisitions, Henry now owns Williams Telecom (including iusacell), Brazil oi Telecom, Hong Kong Telecom and Bati Telecom, which basically meet the requirements of Henry''s global telecom layout. In addition, Africa is also very important. Madagascar and Africa face each other across the sea. If Africa develops and people have high consumption capacity, they can also make a lot of profits from it! In the future, Africa may become a dumping ground for Madagascar''s products.
Henry''s many acquisitions shocked people.
Media said: "Henry Williams has acquired a number of telecom companies all over the world, and is building a telecom empire!"
However, when people thought Henry was going to stop buying.
On February 10, Henry invested $16 billion to wholly acquire NVIDIA NVIDIA, which is a global leading manufacturer in graphics technology and digital media processor industry and one of the world''s top 500 companies!
On February 19, Henry spent another $24.5 billion to acquire applied materials, the world''s largest nano manufacturing technology company, which has been the leader in the field of semiconductor production equipment for many years. This will greatly improve the process level of chip manufacturing, improve the quality and reduce the production cost! With this company, we will not have to rely on other companies to manufacture chips in the future, and the equipment used is the best in the world!
On February 28, Henry spent another $32 billion to acquire EMC, an American information storage and information technology company. This company''s main business is information storage and management products, services and solutions, especially in cloud computing, which has very unique technology. And after the acquisition of EMC, its subsidiary VMware also belongs to Henry. VMware is a virtual machine software. It is a leading manufacturer of desktop to Data Center Virtualization solutions in the world. In the future, its market value will reach more than 30 billion US dollars. In short, it is also one of the top 500 companies in the world.
