Chapter 102 AT&T's Counterattack
What a deadly threat to them. What kind of existence is AT&T now, in North America, Mexico, and the pan-Caribbean region. AT&T telecommunications service is almost the only option for all subscribers. This is simply more awesome than the future of China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom combined.
AT&T was founded in 1877, and it has been more than 100 years since its establishment. Its predecessor was the Bell Telephone Company founded by Bell, the inventor of the telephone. AT&T has monopolized the fixed-line and long-distance telephone market in the United States for a long time, and now the booming mobile communication and Internet market in the United States must also be counted. Moreover, this company also holds top scientific research institutions such as Bell Laboratories, although this laboratory was forced to separate from the control of AT&T two years ago under the intervention of the government. But his scientific research strength should not be underestimated.
Although Eva and Motorola have also made a lot of achievements in the field of telecommunications, if compared with AT&T, even if the two companies are combined and doubled, they cannot be compared with AT&T. Although the news of the alliance between Yota Communications and Motorola made investors doubt the development of the AT&T formula in the field of mobile communications, but since Yota Communications is not a listed company, it is impossible to see the market's attitude towards Eva from the stock price of Yota Communications. What is the response to the one-step strategy.
But would AT&T throw in the towel so easily? Of course not. Just a month after Yota Communications announced its own iridium project. At the same time, AT&T announced that it would join hands with Cisco to enter the network field, and a war that could not see the smoke of gunpowder finally started.
After the two major telecommunications camps are about to march into different fields, this fierce war has just begun. However, Wall Street, the capital center of the United States, is most interested in this war, because both the satellite communication market and the network infrastructure market are the future industries that investors are most interested in, representing two growing industries with broad prospects. billion-level market. And following the east wind of this capital, the war first started in the capital market.
Whether it is the network plan of AT&T or the iridium plan of yota communication, it is inseparable from the huge financial support of Wall Street. Although yota communication hopes to use more of its own funds to develop its business, it still cannot avoid financing from Wall Street through certain financial instruments. Since Eva did not want to open her accounts and funds to financial institutions, Eva chose another investment method - trust, which raised funds from those wealthy private funds on Wall Street. The AT&T side is completely different. They have won over Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the two top investment companies. Before signing a cooperation agreement with Cisco Networks, he first spent a huge sum of money to acquire 20% of the shares of Cisco Networks, thus turning this technology company second only to Yota Communications in the field of network solutions into his own son.
But this is not all AT&T's counterattack, they have more powerful backhands waiting to jam the throat of yota communication. After the cooperation between Yota Communications and Motorola entered a substantive stage, Eva began to increase her investment. She hoped that the communication satellites required by the Iridium Project would be successfully developed within one year, and then start in the second year. Proceed to the launch phase. At this time, Motorola's share price on the New York Stock Exchange began to fluctuate slightly. Investors began to continue to speculate on Motorola's stock in the market. In just a few weeks, Motorola's stock price has risen by 20% in a row.
This matter did not attract enough attention from Eva, who was focused on the progress of research and development.
And Motorola just thinks that this is because investors are optimistic about the technical cooperation between Motorola and Yota Communications. In order to provide more funds to invest in the Iridium project, Motorola's major shareholder even decided to sell part of the stock to cash out following the rising stock price.
Although Motorola has not been established for a long time, they are a manufacturing enterprise. Therefore, the demand for funds is particularly large. During the development of the company, Motorola has continuously introduced strategic investors to supplement its own capital, so the company's equity is extremely scattered, and basically no one institution can control the entire company. However, this fatal weakness did not attract Eva's attention. Eva's eyes were always fixed on Motorola's communication satellite platform, but she ignored Motorola's fatal weakness in equity.
As Motorola's stock price continued to be greatly increased, Motorola's shareholders began to sell their stocks to make profits. Now that the manufacturing industry in the United States continues to slump, although Motorola, a company with strong research and development strength, does not have any blockbuster products that can make the market shine. In the Iridium project of Yota Communications, Motorola was not invited to participate in the board of directors of Iridium Star, they just regarded Yota Communications as a customer of the service. Therefore, when Motorola has no substantive new plans and breakthrough products, it is a wise choice for investors to choose to stay on the sidelines.
As investors continue to sell off, Motorola's stock price continues to rise, but this kind of stock price rise has a lot of hype in it. Since the U.S. stock market had a devastating crash in the 1930s, the participants in the stock market were mainly institutions. This trick of raising the stock price and waiting for others to take orders at a high level is nothing to most institutional investors. Temptation, as long as investors with a little experience will understand that there is some kind of trap hidden in it. Because most institutional investors don't understand the actual logic behind the increase in Motorola's share price. So when Motorola's share price hit a new high in the past three years, more Motorola shareholders chose to sell their stocks and wait and see.
Just when all the investors didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Motorola's gourd, Bloomberg News, a well-known financial news media in the United States, broke an amazing news. The notorious superstar KKR has already controlled nearly 20% of Motorola's shares, and they are seeking to sell these shares to AT&T at a high price. Only then did Eva realize that she had been fooled. ...
