"How much do you think we would need to spend if we were to acquire Marvel?" Boss Jia looked at Marvel's information, then looked at Harry Potter and asked with a smile.
"Acquire Marvel?" Harry Potter was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head desperately and said, "Boss, although I grew up reading Marvel comics, I would never recommend you to acquire Marvel!"
"Marvel is now a pile of sh * t in the stock market, it stinks. Pereman has already expressed his intention to sell Marvel more than once, but no one is willing to pay attention to him."
"Right now, Marvel has a lot of debt on its body. It's already at the level of insolvency. What's more important is that Marvel's main business, comics, is now in decline! "
"Children nowadays like to watch TV, watch movies, and play video games, but not many of them like to read comics. And recently, Fusang's comics have been very eye-catching, it is far more interesting than Marvel's. Many readers have been snatched away by Fusang's comics! "
"According to many industry insiders' estimates, with the further development of the video game industry, and the further development of the video game industry, comics will further shrink, it is possible that in the end, the monthly sales will be less than 100,000 copies, and in the end, bankruptcy will be the only road to extinction!"
"Boss, I strongly recommend you not to acquire Marvel, it is one of the most trashy assets in the stock market!" Harry Potter said very anxiously, it was obvious that he was sincerely thinking for Boss Jia.
Unfortunately, Boss Jia did not understand Harry Potter's painstaking efforts, he stubbornly shook his head and said, "I am in charge of choosing the target, you are in charge of executing it. Now tell me, if I want you to acquire Marvel, how much money do you need? "
"Don't try to persuade me again, I only need a number!"
"Yes!" Harry Potter sighed, he thought for a moment and said, "30 million USD, it should be enough."
"Okay!" Boss Jia nodded quickly, Harry Potter sighed, it seems that the 23 million USD is going to be wasted.
"Next is AMD!" Jia Yapeng took out AMD's information, pondered for a moment and asked, "If you want to acquire AMD, how much would it cost?"
“AMD？” Harry Potter smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, just like Marvel, I don't recommend you to acquire AMD. Although AMD was established at the same time as Intel, there was a gap of less than a year between the two companies. At one time, AMD had the strength to compete with Intel."
"However, AMD has completely declined. They have basically become a vassal of Intel. All of their products have a fatal gap with Intel. A company like this is bound to gradually wither away like countless other processor companies in the future. I really don't recommend you to acquire AMD!"
"As usual, I only want a number!" Jia Yapeng was reborn, and Harry Potter could only helplessly say, "The total value of AMD is 500 million USD. If you want to acquire it, you will have to calculate according to the 20% premium. The total acquisition price is about 600 million USD!"
"I see!" Boss Jia murmured. Now that the acquisition was only 600 million USD, it was indeed tempting.
In 2000, AMD's stock price would reach its peak, which was about 70 billion USD. At that time, if AMD was sold, it would undoubtedly be a big profit.
Therefore, acquiring AMD's stock now would not be a loss. But the problem was that Boss Jia couldn't come up with 600 million USD!
"What about Qualcomm?" Boss Jia asked again.
"About 80 million USD!" Harry Potter replied.
"Hey, why didn't you persuade me this time?" Boss Jia expressed his surprise when he didn't hear Harry Potter's persuasion.
"Because boss, I think we can acquire Qualcomm!" Harry Potter said, "Qualcomm's CDMA technology is being reviewed by the United States Telecommunications Industry Association. Once the review is successful, the CDMA technology will become the industry standard, and the value of Qualcomm will skyrocket! Of course, if the review is not passed, the value of Qualcomm will also be greatly reduced. But this is an exciting gamble. If you win, you can get several times the profit. If you lose, you will only lose tens of millions of USD! "
"So I very much recommend you to acquire Qualcomm. I think this is a company worth gambling on!" Harry Potter said.
"Yes, it has a bright future!" Boss Jia nodded, then put Qualcomm's information aside and continued to pick up Apple's information.
At this time, Apple's stock price was about 6 USD, and the total market value was about 25 USD. But Apple's future was more terrifying than AMD. The total market value of Apple in the future would reach about 1,300 billion USD. Investing in Apple now seemed to be a more cost-effective thing.
But at the same time, Boss Jia could not control Apple. After thinking for a while, Boss Jia put Apple's information aside and finally picked up Nvidia's information.
Compared with the dozens of pages of information of other companies, Nvidia's information was too little.
Because it was a new company that was just established in January this year, the entire company's employees added up to less than 15 people. The company's chairman was a Taiwanese named Huang Renxun. He was originally a designer at AMD.
That was the end of the information, because Nvidia was really unknown now. They had not even released a single product. This was one of the millions of small companies in the United States. It was really difficult for Harry Potter to find information on such a small company.
Oh right, Nvidia was the 1080TI. Everyone was a gamer, so everyone should know about it.
After all, even in the future era of the Internet, it was extremely difficult to find information on such a small company. In fact, Harry Potter obtained this information from a broker on Wall Street.
As Nvidia was looking for its first angel investment, they had found many investors on Wall Street, but they were all rejected. Later, Harry Potter took the initiative to ask about Nvidia's situation, and this broker told Harry Potter. Then, he laughed and said, "Harry, you, Voldemort, can go and find him because they are now lying on the ground. It's not your fault! Hahaha! "
It seemed like this broker was not on good terms with Harry Potter.
"Okay!" Boss Jia nodded. "Harry, you did very well. As a reward for three days of hard work, I will give you a bonus of 30,000 USD!"
"Thirty thousand!" Harry Potter swallowed his saliva. In this era, US dollars were still very valuable. 30,000 US dollars was enough to buy a house in the suburbs of New York. In 2020, it would cost 200,000 US dollars. Therefore, the bonus given by Boss Jia was quite generous. It made Harry Potter have a good impression of Boss Jia.
Although this boss looked a little silly and the target of his investment was strange, it was undeniable that he was really a good person!
"Now, I have a new task for you!" Jia Yapeng said, "I announce that you will represent the America First Foundation to contact Pereman and try to negotiate the acquisition of Marvel at a price of no more than 30 million USD."
"It's best if you can acquire it. If not, at least get familiar with him. In the end, I will personally oversee it!" Jia Yapeng said.
"Yes!" Harry Potter immediately said, although in his heart, he still thinks that buying Marvel is really a stupid idea.
