Chapter 102: AT&T's Counterattack


What a mortal threat to them.

What is the current AT&T company that exists in North America, Mexico, and the Pan-Caribbean.

AT&T's telecommunications service is the only option for almost all users.

This is much more awesome than the future of telecommunications, mobile, and Unicom combined.

AT&T was founded in 1877 and has gone through more than 100 years since its establishment, and its predecessor was the Bell Telephone Company, which was founded by Bell, the inventor of the telephone.

AT&T's long-term monopoly on the fixed-line and long-distance telephone market in the United States, and now the booming mobile communications and Internet markets in the United States.

And the company also has top scientific institutions like Bell Labs, which was forced to spin off from AT&T two years ago after government intervention.

But his scientific prowess 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 doubled together, they cannot be compared with AT&T.

Although the news of the alliance between Telecom and Motorola has made investors doubt the development of the AT&T formula in the field of mobile communications, since Telecom is not a public company, it is impossible to see how the market reacts to Eva's strategy from the stock price of Communications.

But will AT&T admit defeat so easily, of course not.

Just a month after the newsletter announced its own Iridium program.

AT&T also announced that it would join hands with Cisco to enter the network field, and an invisible war finally began.

After the two major telecom camps were about to enter different fields, this fierce war had 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 trillion-dollar markets with broad prospects.

And then this east wind of capital, the war first began to start in the capital market.

Whether it is AT&T's network plan or the Iridium plan for communications, it is inseparable from the huge financial support of Wall Street.

Although the newsletter wants to use more of its own funds to grow its business, it still cannot avoid financing from Wall Street through certain financial instruments.

Since Eva didn't want to open up her accounts and funding to financial institutions, she chose a different investment method, the trust, to raise money from the deep-pocketed private funds on Wall Street.

At the same time, in order to prevent another betrayal, this time AT&T first spent a huge amount of money to acquire 20% of the shares of Cisco Networks before signing a cooperation agreement with Cisco Networks, thus turning this technology company, which is second only to communications in the field of network solutions, into its own son.

But that's not all AT&T's counterattack, and they have even more powerful backhands waiting to get stuck in the throat of communications.

After the cooperation between Communications and Motorola reached a substantial stage, Eva began to increase her investment, hoping to develop the communications satellite required for the Iridium project, preferably within a year, and then start the launch phase the following year.

It was also at this time that Motorola's stock price began to fluctuate on the New York Stock Exchange.

Investors began to speculate on Motorola's shares, and in just a few weeks, Motorola's stock price has risen by 20 percent.

This incident did not attract enough attention from Eva, who was preoccupied with the research and development schedule, and Motorola only saw it as an investor optimistic about the technical cooperation between Motorola and communications.

In order to provide more money into the Iridium project, Motorola's major shareholders even decided to sell some of their shares to cash out if the stock price rose.

Although Motorola has not been established for a long time, it is a manufacturing enterprise.

Therefore, the demand for funds is particularly large, in the development process of the company, Motorola continues to introduce strategic investors to supplement its own capital, so the company's equity is extremely dispersed, basically no one institution can control the entire company, this fatal weakness did not attract Eva's attention, Eva's eyes have always been staring at Motorola's communication satellite platform, but ignoring Motorola's fatal weakness in equity.

As Motorola's stock price continued to rise sharply, Motorola's shareholders began to sell their shares to make a profit.

Now that the manufacturing industry in the United States continues to be sluggish, Motorola has strong R&D strength, but it does not have any fist products that can make the market shine.

In the Iridium program, Motorola was not invited to the board of directors of Iridium, they just treated the communication as a service to customers.

Therefore, in the absence of substantial new plans and breakthrough products for Motorola, it is a wise choice for investors to choose to stay on the sidelines.

As investors continue to sell, Motorola's stock price continues to rise, but there is a lot of speculation in this stock price rise.

Due to the devastating crash of the U.S. stock market in the thirties, the participants in the stock market are mainly institutions, and this kind of trick of pulling up the stock price and other people to take over at a high level is not tempting in front of most institutional investors, as long as a little experienced investor will understand that there is some kind of trap lurking in it.

Because most institutional investors can't understand the actual logic of Motorola's stock price rise.

So just when Motorola's stock price hit a new high in the past three years, more Motorola shareholders chose to sell their shares and wait and see.

Just when all 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 a shocking news that the famous private equity investment company, the notorious emperor superstar in the leveraged buyout industry, had mastered nearly 20% of Motorola's shares, and they were seeking to sell these shares to AT&T at a high price. t1706231537:
