Chapter 416 The villain
This year seems destined to be an unstable year for the entire technology industry. Just after Christmas, Apple and its old rival Microsoft broke shocking news, although Song Yang also had a hand in it.
Apple, which was caught in a precarious situation, has overcome the crisis in a short time. It will not be determined whether it can survive until Apple's next-generation product is developed. However, the hand-in-hand between Apple and Microsoft is still considered by countless people to be a "surreal" event.
This kind of news came out just after Christmas. The entire technology industry can vaguely feel that there are many things that will happen this year!
Song Yang was also in San Jose and met Stolarski, the president of vlsi who was invited. Just by hearing the name, you knew what ethnic group he was from.
"President Stolarsky, I'm glad you can come!"
Song Yang, Doberpur, and several PA Semiconductor executives met with Stolarsky.
Stolarski is very tall, with a typical burly style. When he saw Song Yang, Stolarski had a smile on his face, "To be honest, I was surprised when I heard the news, so in the future, vlsi Semiconductor will
Producing chips for PA Semiconductor?!"
Hearing this, Song Yang couldn't help but glance at Stolarsky, who obviously meant what he said.
Before starting the negotiation, he wanted to win an order for vlsi company. He had obviously guessed the purpose of PA Semiconductor to find him this time. He was afraid that PA Semiconductor would ditch it, so he struck first and started to put forward the conditions first.
!
Song Yang and Doberpur looked at each other. PA Semiconductor is planning to build a production line in Asia, and the chips produced by VLSI are also a bit high. They used to produce chips for Apple. Let’s not talk about the performance, but the production capacity is very high. It can give Apple a win.
People rushed into VLSI's office and yelled "damn bastards". You can imagine how good VLSI is.
But now Stolarsky obviously doesn't want vlsi to be thrown off the bus, so before the negotiation begins, he has to ask PA Semiconductor to place an order with vlsi before continuing to negotiate.
Dobopur came close to Song Yang's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Song Yang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Vlsi company will become a partner of PA Semiconductor!"
Song Yang also smiled and said to the old man in front of him, what Dobopur meant was to first reach a two to three-year cooperation agreement with vlsi, and hand over some orders to vlsi company, and wait until the wafer fab in Asia was ready.
After a production line is built, consider whether to kick it off.
Hearing this, the smile on Stolarsky's face became even brighter, "Song, I didn't expect that PA Semiconductor would replace Apple and become ARM's partner!"
"I believe that PA Semiconductor will be more suitable to be an investor in ARM than Apple. ARM and PA Semiconductor are responsible for designing chips, and VLSI is responsible for production. You have Alcatel mobile phones here, and ARM can definitely surpass the past..."
Stolarsky obviously does not want to destroy the structure of ARM. If PA Semiconductor controls ARM, then it will be in vain if vlsi, the partner responsible for producing chips, is kicked out.
But before Stolarsky could finish speaking, Song Yang directly reached out to stop him from continuing, "President Stolarsky, in the next three years, both PA Semiconductor and ARM can place some orders for production by VLSI. This is VLSI's production."
You deserve it, but PA Semiconductor wants to get the controlling stake of ARM!"
After Song Yang said these words, Doberpur looked obviously relieved. Song Yang obviously wanted PA Semiconductor to get ARM Company. ARM seemed small in scale, with less than 700 people.
People, but at the top of the entire semiconductor food chain, it can make the design of PA Semiconductor reach the top level in the industry, and may strangle other peers in the future.
Hearing Song Yang's words that could not be refused, Stolarsky was hesitant for a moment. Holding 14% of arm's equity, vlsi company is equivalent to having a long-term meal ticket. As long as arm still has orders, it can survive.
If it goes on, once it loses this 14% stake in arm, it risks being kicked out.
"I think acorn company doesn't want to hear this news very much. This is not the original intention of arm's establishment!" Stolarski moved out another major shareholder acorn.
Doberpur looked at Stolarski, who looked nothing like the other old men in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly, "Times have changed!"
Faced with Stolarsky who still wanted to have both sides, Song Yang gave him no choice. "PA Semiconductor is already the major shareholder holding 43% of Arm's shares. Today, we invite President Stolarsky to come. PA Semiconductor hopes to do so with the minimum possible
The price is to get the arm..."
"If VLSI is willing to sell the 14% ARM equity, then PA Semiconductor will not mind acquiring this equity at a price higher than the market price. In addition, VLSI will become PA Semiconductor's partner in the future!"
"If President Stolarski refuses this acquisition, PA Semiconductor can get the equity of ARM from Apple, and can also take away the other 43% equity from Acorn!"
"But if that time comes, I'm sorry, vlsi will no longer get an order from ARM, PA Semiconductor!"
The sudden sense of oppression made Storas suddenly scream. The man in front of him, who is much younger than him, is still a figure on the Forbes list. He is a figure on the same list as Bill Gates, Buffett, and the Wal-Mart family. Placed in England
, his worth is enough to rank in the top twenty, even the Queen of England, MPs and the like must be polite to him...
Stolarsky did not doubt the truth of what Song Yang said. After all, a scene had just been staged where hundreds of millions of dollars were thrown at Apple to save Apple from dire straits.
This is Song Yang's threat from Chi Guoguo. The cash flow in his hands is not very much, and there is still a lot to do this year, but Stolarski does not dare to bet on whether Song Yang can still come up with more.
Such a big sum of money...
Once Song Yang and PA Semiconductor really bypassed VLSI and went directly to Acorn, the ARM equity held by VLSI might not become a piece of waste paper. If they follow the example of Carl Icahn, the Wolf of Wall Street,
They used their status as major shareholders to engage in some frivolous operations, hollowed out ARM, and transferred all the main industries, leaving only an empty shell. I guess only VLSI cried!
Stolarsky did not dare to bet on all this. What was before him was no longer a multiple-choice question, but a multiple-choice question.
"This is not the original intention of arm. It should not become like this..."
Stolarsky shook his head and muttered, but still started to make an offer, "Two hundred million US dollars, vlsi transfers ARM equity to PA Semiconductor!"
"With US$150 million, the North American Global Investment Fund can pay VLSI US$50 million in cash, and the rest of the acquisition fee will be paid by the stocks of ICQ, America Telecom, and Double Click."
After finishing his words, Song Yang added another sentence, "This is PA Semiconductor's last quotation!"
Stolarsky once again experienced the feeling of being aggrieved but helpless when facing giants like Intel and AMD. They did not give him any chance to bargain and only gave him the right to accept these conditions.
However, this purchase price is enough for vlsi company to make a lot of money. You must know that when arm was first established, the total funds invested by the three of them were less than five million US dollars, but now they have made hundreds of times back.
.
Fifty million US dollars in cash, plus partial stock mortgages from America Telecom, ICQ, and Double Click, made Stolarski very satisfied. Now is the Internet boom period, and the prices of these stocks are likely to skyrocket.
of!
"Song, this is not the way to treat collaborators. I don't want it to be like this the next time we meet!"
Stolarski complained to Song Yang with a straight face and a dissatisfied and emotional tone, but he still picked up the pen and signed his name on the equity transfer agreement.
After Stolarsky signed, Song Yang also showed a smile on his face, "Of course, next time Stolarsky, you will enjoy the best banquets and parties, and the best vodka will be poured into your hands."
wine glass!”
"I heard that the yedaex company in Eastern Europe was invested by Song Yang?" When he stood up, Stolarsky heard this and suddenly remembered the news he heard from Lao Maozi, and couldn't help but ask Song Yang.
Stolarski is of Lao Maozi descent, but he travels between America and Western Europe all year round. Lao Maozi rarely goes to Eastern Europe, but he still has contact with Eastern Europe. In the past two years, Stolarski has changed from Lao Maozi to Eastern Europe.
The most heard news there is the emergence of Yeadex, which has set off a "technological" storm in Laomaozi and Eastern Europe.
Stolarski had vaguely heard rumors that Song Yang seemed to be one of Yeadex's big benefactors, so Stolarski couldn't help but ask.
Song Yang did not admit or deny, but just smiled lightly. There was no need to cause a stir in the city for this kind of thing. Cutting leeks should not be done with too much fanfare.
Seeing Song Yang's look, Stolarski basically understood it in his heart. Thinking of the news from Lao Maozi, Stolarski couldn't help but sigh Song Yang's investment vision. As a person in the technology industry, he is
It is clear that Yeadex, like an octopus, will grow unscrupulously in Eastern Europe and what kind of behemoth it may become in the end...
After Stolarsky left, Song Yang looked at the agreement and couldn't help but pursed his lips. He now understood why companies of all sizes like to be villains. When Microsoft proposed to acquire Netscape, its attitude was so tough.
