今天再补一篇,不知道什么时候能补完~~~

T2-02:06:04 【TIME 2 ENDS – 279 WORDS】
Lenovo acquired Blackberry which has fallen on hard times, but such combination is risky as many companies has shown themselves failure after the acquisition of a phone marker.

T3 - 02:22:62 【TIME 3 ENDS – 317 WORDS】
Before lenovo acquired Blackberry is HP's bungled acquisition of Palm and Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility, both of which has shown a hard time after the acquisition, but Lenovo seems to be a good home for Blackberry, and the article describes a future developing strategy which might be taken by Lenovo.

T4 -  02:23:07 【TIME 4 ENDS – 304 WORDS】
Whether the phone system of Blackberry should remains the same one as before to switch to  Google's Android is quesion.
And as Blackberry has been used by many US offcials who send secret emails and might concerns the security after the acquisition.

T5 - 02:57:40  【TIME 5 ENDS – 374 WORDS】
American companies are turning to make investments in high-yield, or junk, bond market, when the cash deposits pay virtually zero.

T6 - 02:22:57 【TIME 6 ENDS – 352 WORDS】
The Eropean companies are happy to finance from US companies in the crisis and with a low interest rate.
The low rates enable the companies to refinance their debt cheaply, and a long period of cheap finance makes it less likely that issues will be forced do default in the short term, but the high-yield world is not all good.

T7 - 02:41:29【TIME 7 ENDS – 367 WORDS】
The high-yield bonds are enjoying the ride, which may suffer a nasty shock in the near future. The investors face a limited upside and a big downside.

T8 - 09:31:77
Wether the globalization is a good thing or not , there are always reasons. But whether the benefits of globalisation outweigh the downsides is more complicated, the rapid convergence of the silver market in early modern period is only one example of "globalisation". During the globalision, meanwhile, there are also maket disintergration.

TIME2: 01:38
Lenovo is interested in acquiring Blackberry, but lots of similar failure cases show the difficulty and the challenge. Also, there are several competitors.

TIME3: 01:58
Lenovo and Blackberry both target more in business customers and Lenovo can use the brand value of Blackberry to enter into developed world.

TIME4: 02:09
Duo to lots of Canadian and American government officers are using Blackberry send sensitive e-mails, there are lots of negative attitude to sold Blackberry to a Chinese company. Some people advice Blackberry can sold e-mail network, phone handset business and patents to different companies.

TIME5: 02:29
The low interested rate trigger the high-yield-bond market in America. And other Euro countries are also boost this market.

TIME6: 02:21
Euro companies are not so close with bank finance than America, but the rise of the  high-yield-bond market prolong the default period.
But the boost of high-yield-bond market will make more costly and risky in long-term period.

TIME7: 02:12
The face value of the bonds are overestimated.
The issuers can use “call option” which will make the bond loss the further increase.
The credit quality of the bond market is underestimated.

PARAPHRASE 7: 08:46
The globalization is very popular these years.
Some think it is good because people can exchange the knowledge, trade, and capital.
Other disagree because it makes the inequality when more labor force work are moved to cheaper counties.
Whether the merits of globalization is overweight the demerits depends on when the globalization starts.
Smith thinks the globalization began when people know how to exchange the products with others.
Others think that when Columbus discovered New Continent, the globalization starts because it made the price revolution.
Whether globalization is good or not, it is the essential element of the economic history.

Time 2 1’44
Time 3 1’34
Time 4 1’23
1)        Event: Lenovo bids for blackberry
     History: successful purchase for IBM
     The status of Blackberry
2)        Mobile company bidding consideration
Fama bought by HP—final stop
Google bought Motorola- take the pain to develop
3)        Other concerns:
Lenovo have similar business realm with Blackberry
Lenovo can take the advantage of Blackberry to occupy US and EU markets while it only have parts in developing countries
Privacy: Because of spying, the time is different from the purchase of IBM
Solution: Maybe Blackberry will sell itself separately


Time 5 1’43
Time 6 2’00
High-yield bonds are popular because the credit interest is low.
Companies take this historical opportunities to develop.
Problems:
         Because expectation rate is higher and higher, the buyer side is down.
         The reduce of liquidity can reduce the buyer side down.
