PS: after finishing this chapter, my eyes are a little tired. I'll have a rest for one night and continue to do more tomorrow
Although Carl Zeiss knows that Silicon Valley electronics group has played tricks on them, the contract has been signed and there is nothing they can do about it. But then again, working with Silicon Valley electronics may not be a bad thing. When Carl Zeiss announced a partnership with Silicon Valley electronics group, its shares rose 9% on the same day.
The industry is generally optimistic about the cooperation between Carl Zeiss and Silicon Valley electronics group. Through this cooperation, Carl Zeiss will further seize market share and establish brand awareness with the micro hard disk of Silicon Valley electronics group and the lens technology of Carl Zeiss!
This time, Silicon Valley electronics spent 1. $500 million has been authorized by Carl Zeiss for more than 20 technologies. Although the price is a little expensive, Henry is still very happy. Camera lens and cameras will be widely used in the future. Such as computers, mobile phones, monitoring and so on, the market potential is endless!!!
So, after getting the technology, Henry asked Williams laboratory to set up a lens technology research institute, which was simply named "Lens Technology Research Institute". Then he recruited excellent talents in the field of lens technology to join, and spent a lot of money to focus on development!
With Carl Zeiss's lens technology support, Henry can use his technology in more places, such as film shooting
In the future, it will become the world's top film equipment company. Panavisian has a lot of experience and will soon come to the fore! The company was founded in 1954, is an international company, an independent manufacture of photographic equipment brand, including photographic equipment, lighting equipment, mobile machinery equipment; Among them, in the field of camera lens, it takes the lead in the world!
Henry decided to buy this company because he can strengthen Williams lab's strength in lens technology!!! In addition, after the acquisition of pennavisian company, Henri's Galaxy film company, or ATV, will be able to get the most advanced shooting equipment for shooting. Naturally, the effect of shooting will be far better than that of other companies, which undoubtedly enhances the competitiveness of the film company!!!
Sharp tools make good work.
Henry's layout of Pan entertainment industry really needs the help of pennavisian company!
Although pennavisian company was established early, its market value is not high at present. Henry is very sure to acquire it. Next year is the real time for pennavisian to take off. They have transformed Sony's hdw-900 camera into a new device. This new device is extremely popular and has become a new symbol of digital cinema in North America at that time!!! After that, another product of pennavisian company, genasis, was a handy tool for the second generation of filmmakers, and was adopted by Warner company to shoot the latest movie superman returns. Since then, pennavisian has been promoted to a world-class film equipment company!!!
However, pennavisian company is very strong. It always rents but doesn't sell! But business is very hot, often in short supply! It doesn't matter that some small film companies don't have money. They don't want to use panavisian's shooting equipment!
For such a company, it is natural to take advantage of its fire before it will be acquired!
Without delay, Henry sent someone to pennavisian.
"Are you going to buy pennavisian?" The shareholders of pennavisian were surprised.
Pennavisian company has not been on fire, but also because it only does film equipment rental, so it can not make much money every year. Generally speaking, large film companies have their own film equipment and don't need to rent it from outside. Only small film companies rent film equipment. But small film companies have no money at all, and they probably can't make much money from them. What's more, there are many competitors, so they make less money.
Henry sent people to do a survey and learned that the current profit situation of pennavisian company can only be regarded as average. The annual income is only about $30 million, but the profit is less than $5 million! Staff wages, equipment maintenance and development, and so on, are not small expenses... Equipment development accounts for the highest proportion.
Pennavisian does not buy all the equipment from film equipment manufacturers like other equipment rental companies, but insists on developing or transforming film equipment independently!
"Yes, make an offer."
"Which company are you from?"
"Silicon Valley electronics group"! "
Hearing the words, they were slightly shocked.
Not long ago, Silicon Valley electronics group has reached a partnership with Carl Zeiss, a world-class camera lens company. In the twinkling of an eye, it is going to acquire panavix company. It seems that Silicon Valley electronics group wants to make a big show in the field of camera lens!!!
"We need to think about it!" The CEO of pennavisian said.
"Of course, before we came here, we had invited a professional evaluation company to evaluate the value of pennavisian company. They think that the market value of your company is 50 million US dollars..."
Pennavisian company's several major shareholders flash a trace of anger, obviously not satisfied with the valuation! Pennavisian's profit is not high, but it has three branches and a lot of film equipment. In addition, pennavisian also has some technology patents. How can these things add up to only 50 million dollars?
The negotiator of Silicon Valley electronics group laughed: "however, we Silicon Valley electronics group are willing to take out 80 million US dollars to acquire pennavisian company! This price is 30 million US dollars higher than the price given by the appraisal company, which is enough to see our sincerity! Of course, if pennavisian accepts financing, it can. However, Silicon Valley electronics group will hold absolute control of pennavisian company! As for the day-to-day management of the company, it is still handed over to the original management. Silicon Valley electronics group will not interfere in it at will... "
"You think about it, please reply to me tomorrow!"
"This is my business card with my phone number on it!"
After the Silicon Valley electronics group representatives finished, they handed their business cards to the top management of pennavisian one by one!
"Goodbye!"
Representatives of Silicon Valley electronics group come and go quickly!
"What to do, sell the company? Or accept financing? " The company's major shareholders discussed.
"Sell it, they give more money!"
"I think it's better to accept financing, let Silicon Valley electronics group become a shareholder, and we can hold part of the equity! I think that with the support of Silicon Valley electronics group, pennavisian will develop rapidly. In the future, maybe our shares will be more valuable than they are now! "
"Well, that's right. Let's take a long view and accept the financing of Silicon Valley electronics group. Didn't they say that although they will hold absolute control, the daily management of the company will still be handed over to us! "

"Let's vote!"
