拍賣會

文/郭立昌

2007年我在矽谷曾經參與一家新創公司的作業過程，他們經由拍賣會取得足夠的資本擴充設會成為獨角獸企業(Unicorn Enterprise)。

企業的活動歸納有二：

一是理財活動；

二是營業活動。

在美國設立公司時，承辦人員會問你設定的股份用途，然後鼓勵地說：「售掉你的部份股份取得資金去運作。」這種售掉股份取得資金的方式屬於「理財活動」的一種。所以，當企業成立時，你已經有理想的創業標的，就可以經由拍賣會把部份股份出售，換得營運資金，落實創業的理想—進入「營業活動」，以實現創業的目的。上述的企業光是提供網路服務，其市值如今已高達數千億美元，創業者與投資者兩相得益，可見拍賣會是一個實現創業和發明目的良好管道。

當我出席新加坡APEC領袖會議，報告我們發明的新科技經濟系統(TES)時，世界知名的會計師事務所總裁丹尼斯建議我說：「善用美國公司的股份透過拍賣會取得資金，儘快落實發明的目的。」

其實，2007年在美國參與的新創企業，他們就拿出80萬股在拍賣會出售，以底標每股50美元出售，最後以2.4億元售出—就是「每股300美元」；有了這筆資金之後，就能有效地擴充所需的設施，活化營業活動，搖身一變成為舉足輕重的企業。可惜我們卻因為台灣貪腐集團非經濟因素的干擾，以至於到2017年8月16日都動彈不得，錯失轉換發明為現金以落實社會責任投資(SRI)使命目標的最佳時機。

我們的發明是升級傳統貨幣為電子貨幣成為「非現金交易系統」(Cashless System)，升級傳統商店為電子商店系統；為符合電動化政策，我們倡議升級自動販賣機為電子商店—附有充電功能。如下圖：

電子商店系統 (The eStore System, TES)包含許多發明—其三大特性：

1. 以「動力晶片」啟動「非現金」(Cashless)交易制度；

2. 發明傳訊科技進行「系統連線」形成全球互聯網絡；

3. 倡議「ICT」控制中心以管理金流/商流/物流和資訊流。

此外，電子商店(eStore)因具有「充電功能」而被稱為「能源補給站」。

電子商店系統發明人丁玲虹女士接受澳洲政府邀請，擔任2003年APEC講師時，根據她的發明專利在大會中貢獻「全球通路-TES」，出席會議的代表除了21個會員經濟體之外，還有來自聯合國/世貿組織/OECD等國際組織的代表；丁玲虹強調系統使用的「非現金系統」(Cashless System)和「自動傳訊」(auto-transmission)將帶來「安全/有效」(safety and effective)以及經由「非接觸式感應科技」(Contactless Technology)帶來「衛生/環保」(hygiene and environment protection) — 2020年的新冠疫情(COVID-19)驗證了丁玲虹的先知預言；APEC部長宣言正式回應：「這是協助2.4億人創業的最佳導引。」同時也贏得了強化經濟社會的最佳實例，丁玲虹是著作權(Copyrights)的所有權人。不久之後，相關的非現金論壇成立，非現金系統逐漸普及於文明世界的每一個角落，非現金交易至今已達3.6兆美元的交易額。

根據實地考察，美國可以建置上述的電子商店200萬個，若以升級每店成本3萬美元計算，200萬店就有600億美元，丹尼斯說：「這可以經由資產證券化在拍賣會分階段取得資金，進入營業活動。」簡言之，我們發明的電子商店可以經由拍賣會取得資金，以實現社會責任投資(social responsibility investment, SRI)的使命目標 —就是我們在APEC宣揚的「One eStore One Business One Job」(一店一生意一工作機會)，為需要工作者提供2百萬個工作機會。

人間世，有兩類人，一種是擁有想法欲落實者，一種是擁有資金想投資這些有想法者，拍賣會就像一條「橋」(bridge)連通兩者，達到互通有無的目標，也使創業有所成就，也許就此改變世界，使世界朝向更安全/便利的方向前進。回想起1979年3月13日，我在紐約創設黑石公司(Black Stone Co.)幫客戶發展衛星接收器，在華爾街看見各種金融商品的拍賣會；今天開會，財經專家建議我們善用國際拍賣會以落實目標—即使有許多的條件我們必須準備去符合，不過我仍認為丹尼斯的建議值得考慮採用。

K-Horn Science Inc.創辦人郭立昌(Peter Li-Chang Kuo)1966年(13歲)即親製精細電子零件成為美商全球電子公司(AVNET Inc.-- NYSE上市企業)之最重要的供應商，開發許多的加工工法/自動化機器/應用材料創造台灣的精密工業，1974年被蔣經國先生稱為「台灣精密工業之父」；以「pico-tech」發展出來之「動力晶片」預估有3.8兆美元產值，是未來綠能的大趨勢。在APEC領袖和部長會議促成「反貪腐、人工智慧、最佳實例、防止電磁干擾、電子商務、全球通路、資通訊科技、孵蛋器、智慧財產權、微型企業、…」等議題和法案；著有「為下一代開出路、公義的經濟社會、社會責任、W型社會、為台灣開出路…」等書。

Auction

Prepared by Peter Li-Chang Kuo

In 2007, I was involved in the operation of a start-up company in Silicon Valley. They obtained enough capital through an auction to expand their facilities and become a unicorn enterprise.

The activities of the enterprises can be summarized as two: one is “Financing Activity” and the second is “Operating Activity.”

When opening a company in the United States, the official who in charge will ask you about the purpose of the shares you set, and then he’s encouraging you to say: "Sell a part of your shares as soon as possible to get funds to run the business." This way of selling shares to obtain funds is a type of financing activity.

Consequently, if you already have “the ideal business target” as your company is established, you can sell a part of the shares through the auction, in exchange for the working capital, to implement the ideal of entrepreneurship -- enter the operating activity, in order to achieve the purpose of start-up your business. Above mentioned firm who just providing the internet services, and their market value is now as high as hundreds of billions of dollars. Entrepreneur and investor have mutual benefit from each other. It can be seen that auction is a good way to attain the purpose both of entrepreneurship and invention.

When I attended the APEC CEO Summit in Singapore to report on the New Tech-Economic System (TES) we invented; Dennis, the chairman of a world-renowned accounting firm, who suggested that “You are able to make good use of the shares of yours to obtain funds through auction and expedize for attaining the purpose of your invention.”

Actually, for the new venture capital that I took part in the United States in 2007, they put out 800,000 shares for sale at auction, minimum bid price at US$ 50 per share, and finally sold US$ 240 million— that meant US$ 300 per share; with this deal after funding, it can effectively expand the required facilities, to actuate those related operating activities, and become a pivotal enterprise. Unfortunately, it was a pity for our state that because “the interference of non-economic factors” from Taiwan's corruption entities to cause us could do nothing, and we must endure until August 16, 2017, and we missed the best time to switch the kind to the cash for attaining our mission goal of “social responsibility investment” (SRI).

Our invention has two main orientations: one is to upgrade traditional currency to electronic currency into a "Cashless System"--its transaction volume is already approaching US$ 36 trillion recently; and the second is to update traditional stores to be "the electronic store systems"--"The eStore System" also be called "TES." In order to meet the policy of electrification, we advocated to upgrade those vending machines to the electronic stores with charging functions. The invention as shown below:

1. Actuated the “Cashless Transaction System” with power chip;

2. Invented “Transmit-Tech” for system connection to form a global networking — “All things are internet-connected in intelligence” (AIoT);

3. Advocated the “ICT Control Center” to manage money/goods/logistics and information flows.

In addition, “eStore” is also called “Energy Storage Site.”

Linda Din, the inventor of the “TES”, accepted the invitation of the Australian government as a keynote speaker at APEC 2003 and based on her invention patents to contribute "Global Channel-TES" to the conferences. In addition to 21 member economies, representatives from the United Nations/ WTO/ OECD and other international organizations attended the meeting; Linda Din emphasized that the "Cashless System" and "Auto-Transmission" used in the system will bring "safety and effective" and through the use of "Contactless Technology" will bring "hygiene and environment protection" —COVID-19 of 2020 has verified Linda Din’s prophetic prediction. The APEC Ministerial Statement officially responded that “This is the best guidance to help 240 million people start their own businesses." Meanwhile, the contribution had won the best practice of strengthening the economic society, Linda Din is the owner of Copyrights. Soon after, the relevant cashless forum was established, and the cashless system has gradually spread in every corner of the civilized world. Nowadays, the Cashless System has approached a transaction volume of US$ 36 trillion.

Base on the due diligence, America will be able to build 2 million of the above-mentioned eStores. If the cost of updating is US$ 30,000 per eStore, so that 2 million stores will cost US$ 60 billion. Dennis said that "This can be divided into some auctions through asset securitization to obtain the funds at the stages and run the operating activity.” In short, the eStore we invented will be able to gain the funds through auction to achieve the mission goal of social responsibility investment — that is, "One eStore One Business One Job" we declared at APEC to create 2 million job opportunities for those who need jobs.

In the human world, there are two types of people, one is those who owned the ideas in products, and the other is those who owned money and willing to help to implement the ideas. Auction is like a bridge connecting the two, accomplishing the goal of interoperability, and also making entrepreneurial achievements. Perhaps, their deeds will change the world in the future, to make the world moving toward the direction of much safer and convenience.

Recall that I founded Black Stone Co. on March 13, 1979 in New York to help my client developing the satellite receivers; I saw the auctions in various forms to sell the financial products on Wall Street. In today’s conference, the financial experts suggested once more that “You should use the international auction for reaching the goal.” Although there are specific requirements that we shall do the preparations; nevertheless, I am still thinking Dennis’s suggestion is worth considering and adopting.

Peter Li-Chang Kuo, who made the precision electronic components since 1966 and became an important supplier of American firm; he was admired by Mr. Chiang Ching-Kuo as "the father of Taiwan's precision industry" in 1974, and also helped his client in the name of “AVNET Inc.” successfully listing on NYSE. In 1979, Black Stone Co. was founded in New York to develop the satellite receiver, and created the K-Horn Science Incubator to promote the social responsibility investment (SRI) for incubating the RF Transmitter/ Cashless System and etc., and gain the bills and policies such as “Anti-corruption/ E-Commerce/ ICT/ IPR/ Micro Business…” at APEC CEO Summit and Ministerial Meeting. Kuo is the author of the books: "Opening the Way for Next Generation, An Economic Society of Righteousness, Social Responsibility, W Society...," and in addition to the Paper of "Analysis of Development of the Information Society in Taiwan's Third Sector."
