After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The other person was holding a mobile phone in his hand, lowering his head in thought.
After thinking about it, I realized that there was an internal problem.
Someone must have revealed their true purpose of acquiring this company.
This person thought about the entire acquisition team, but he couldn't figure out who this person would be.
However, he also knew that this was not the time to investigate the person responsible. What needed to be dealt with now was the shares in Cheng Yu's hands. Now that the other party knew this, it was almost a foregone conclusion to increase the expenditure on this acquisition.
Moreover, this must happen quickly.
Cheng Yu wants 50 million now, but the previous law firm said that this number will change once they take over after two o'clock in the afternoon.
Of course, the change mentioned by the lawyer cannot be a price reduction. What awaits Oracle must be another round of price increases.
The company gave this person a fatal order. He must take all the shares of the company, otherwise it would not offer such a high premium.
But in the previous negotiations, because the time given by the superiors was too short, they showed great sincerity at the beginning of the negotiations, and the price they offered almost reached Oracle's largest budget.
This is also related to the fact that Oracle will never pay any equity exchange.
Moreover, Morris and others proposed to transfer the shares to Cheng Yu's name first, which made the entire acquisition team think that this was their negotiation strategy. However, they did not know the inside story of this and only thought that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to increase the price.
.
So basically from the very beginning, the price was set at a price that other companies could never offer.
I thought that in this way, we could smoothly sign the contract on Monday and announce that the acquisition was successful.
But who would have thought that Cheng Yu would actually understand their true purpose of acquiring this company.
The budget was only so much, so the person in charge of the acquisition hesitated and called his boss.
At first, the boss was very angry about Cheng Yu's loud talk. But after calming down, he heard from his subordinates that Cheng Yu actually named the patent number by name. He also understood that Cheng Yu was stuck now.
Even though they were annoyed, they had to make some additions to the initial budget.
After careful consideration, he signed the report to increase the budget. After all, compared to the acquisition price of 500 million for the entire acquisition, a mere 10 million is really nothing.
So just ten minutes after Cheng Yu hung up the phone, the man called Cheng Yu again.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng, after our company's research, although we still express our condemnation of your last-minute price increase... beep... beep..."
As soon as the call was connected, before he could finish a sentence, the man heard a busy signal from the receiver.
Cheng Yu threw the phone aside and said disdainfully: "Since you are kneeling, don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and condemn your sister. Why do you have such a face?"
The man looked at the hung up phone in his hand with a puzzled expression.
This guy named Cheng Yu is acting too irrationally. We have to pay an extra ten million US dollars. Why don't you let us say a few words?
But he had no choice but to call Cheng Yu again.
"Mr. Cheng, was the signal poor just now? Why did the phone... beep... beep..."
Cheng Yu threw the phone aside again, stood up, and threw the bath towel on the couch.
"Are you sick? Is it because the signal is not good and you don't know what to do? You have already said that you must be sincere and you must be sincere. Why are you still messing around with me?"
After saying that, Cheng Yu simply walked towards the swimming pool, plunged into the water with a sudden movement, and started swimming happily.
On the shore, on the couch, the cell phone rang again, but no one answered it for a long time.
After swimming for more than ten minutes, Cheng Yu climbed out of the water and walked to the couch. While wiping his hair with a bath towel, he glanced at his phone.
More than a dozen missed calls.
Cheng Yu grinned, wondering if he could be more honest this time?
Soon, the phone rang again.
Cheng Yu slowly answered the call and said, "If there is still so much nonsense, everything I said before will be invalid and I won't sell the shares."
The other party hurriedly said with laughter: "Mr. Cheng, don't be like this. After the company's research and decision, we are willing to increase the purchase price of your shares again, as you wish, a total of 50 million US dollars. But please, please
You should not communicate with other shareholders, their purchase price will still be the original purchase price."
"Wouldn't it have been like this a long time ago? It was only a matter of ten million US dollars in the first place. For a company as big as yours, right?"
The other party swallowed his anger and said: "Mr. Cheng, do you think we will sign a contract tomorrow?"
"Do you think I am too idle? Don't you understand what the lawyer told you before? I will wait for you at the hotel before two o'clock in the afternoon to sign a contract with me. I need to see the cashier's check or the bank's transfer certificate. More than two o'clock in the afternoon
Yes, let the lawyer talk to you about the shares..."
The other party was shocked. He originally thought that Cheng Yu stuck the time at two o'clock in the afternoon just to force them to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
Now that they have agreed to Cheng Yu's request, it is logical to sign the contract according to the normal time.
But he didn't expect that Cheng Yu would go further and still ask for the contract to be signed before two o'clock.
This man really had the urge to drop the phone.
Or maybe I want to question Cheng Yu coldly if he should be so pushy.
But considering that Cheng Yu had behaved quite generously before, he did not dare to do so after all.
Continuing to swallow his anger, he said: "Mr. Cheng, you see, it is already half past twelve. You also know that our headquarters of Oracle is in San Francisco. Even if we send people to Los Angeles with the promissory note now, it will not be possible at all."
It’s too late. What’s more, our company has a lot of processes involved in making this acquisition. Today is Sunday, and the company’s finance department is not working..."
"These have nothing to do with me. You can find ways to overcome the objective difficulties on your own. I have made it clear to the lawyers that if you came to me to sign a contract before two o'clock, this matter has nothing to do with them. But no agreement was reached before two o'clock.
, they will start the next step of the process. You have a process to go through, don’t I have one here? You can’t let me be a person who breaks my word, right? I also have an appointment with the law firm.”
That person just wanted to yell, Damn, how can you keep breaking your promise? You agreed on the purchase price, but you took the opportunity to raise the price, and even forced us to scramble.
Is this what you mean by keeping your word?
Now you say you can't break your promise. Why didn't you treat us like this earlier?
But all this could only be kept in his stomach, and he would never dare to really say it to Cheng Yu.
As soon as he said it, Cheng Yu would probably refuse to sell his shares if it was true.
And in that case, the entire acquisition will definitely be aborted.
It is absolutely impossible for Oracle to just acquire the remaining shares of that company and let Cheng Yu keep his shares.
The only thing to blame is that when the company accepted investment from Morris and others, it agreed to give them a veto on technical products. Even if they became the company's absolute controlling shareholder, they would not be able to control Cheng Yu's investment.
Destroy that patent without relenting.
If Cheng Yu is just a nobody, that's it. Use Oracle to investigate Cheng Yu's background. If Oracle dares to attack, what awaits them will definitely be Cheng Yu's counterattack.
In the business field, Cheng Yu's counterattack is very simple.
He only needs to sell his shares to other IT giants in the United States, whether it is Microsoft, Google, or even Sun, so that Oracle can't take advantage of it.
By then, the technology in Oracle's hands will no longer be able to dominate the world, and the loss to Oracle will definitely be in the billions.
This man was pinched seven inches by Cheng Yu, gritting his teeth, he said: "Mr. Cheng, please understand our difficulties... beep... beep..."
Mahler Gobi, the phone was hung up again!
This man really wants to grow wings now, fly directly to Los Angeles, and strangle to death Cheng Yu, who loves to hang up on the phone.
However, he has no wings, and Superman and Batman are just legends after all.
Forcing himself to calm down, the man thought about it and could only make a call to the mobile phone of a certain accountant in the company.
"I don't care what you are doing now. You must rush to the company within twenty minutes."
There is no doubt that after this person said these vicious words, he hung up the phone of the financial person, without even giving the other person any chance to speak.
After hanging up the phone, the man suddenly felt a special sense of relief.
It turns out that it’s really cool to hang up someone’s phone without any explanation!
No wonder Cheng Yu likes to hang up on me so much.
Then, he called the head of the branch in Los Angeles.
"Jeremy, I'm Simmons Leonardo."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Leonardo. What can I do? I'm enjoying lunch with my family!"
"I don't have time for you to eat now. I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Do you know about the headquarters' acquisition of your company in Los Angeles?"
"Of course I know. I was in charge of that matter at the beginning. It was only handed over to the acquisition team at the headquarters after it reached 70% completion."
"Mr. Trester, the CFO of the headquarters, requires you to immediately accept part of the acquisition work of this acquisition. You should set off immediately. I hope you can rush to the Palm Tree Hotel within twenty minutes to find a man named Cheng
Yu is a Chinese man. I will send detailed information about him and the work you need to complete to your email address later. Along with the contract text that you need to sign with him immediately, I will also send it to your email address.
The other party's attitude may be very bad, but no matter what, you must not anger the other party, and you must complete the acquisition of his shares in accordance with Mr. Treist's requirements. As for the capital, I will start negotiations with him after you
When the time comes, remote video coordination will be used to solve the problem. In short, you must complete the acquisition of his shares before two o'clock in the afternoon. Do you understand? "
In fact, there are still some things that are not clear enough, but Jeremy knows very well that this acquisition is also of great importance.
During the preliminary contact with that company, the headquarters repeatedly told him that this matter must be completed by him personally and that no second person should be allowed to know about it. He was the only person who knew about this acquisition.
Even after he completed a lot of preliminary work, he was summoned by the headquarters and signed a confidentiality agreement regarding this acquisition.
This shows how much the headquarters attaches importance to this acquisition.
Therefore, he immediately agreed, and then said apologetically to his wife and daughter: "I'm really sorry, I have to complete a task assigned by the headquarters immediately. But fortunately, the meal is almost finished, and this task
It should be over before two o'clock. I may still be able to make it back in time to continue our family gathering today."
After saying that, Jeremy immediately went out, drove his car, and rushed to the Palm Tree Hotel.
On the way, his cell phone rang twice, both with the sound of receiving emails.
He didn't even have time to take a look, but stepped on the accelerator and headed straight to the Palm Tree Hotel.
Leonardo only gave him twenty minutes. Although it was still a little over an hour before two o'clock in the afternoon, he did not dare to neglect it at all.
Finally, at around 1:15, he arrived at the Palm Tree Hotel.
After parking the car, Jeremy immediately picked up his cell phone, found Cheng Yu's contact information and called him immediately.
Leonardo has also informed Cheng Yu via text message that the signing will be completed by the person in charge of the Los Angeles branch, and the payment will be completed by the headquarters in the video at the same time as the signing is signed. Cheng Yu
After Yu receives the money, he can sign the final share transfer agreement.
Seeing the call coming in, Cheng Yu smiled slightly, knowing that the matter was finally settled.
After answering the phone, Cheng Yu waited for Jeremy to announce his home address, and then said: "I'm at the swimming pool. I can see you when you come."
Jeremy didn't dare to neglect, after all, the time left for him was only forty minutes, and he walked quickly towards the swimming pool.
As he walked, Jeremy looked at other details about Cheng Yu and the share acquisition agreement. At the same time, he took a brief look at the contract.
When passing the business center, Jeremy printed out the contract, then took the contract in quadruplicate and finally came to the swimming pool.
The contract is made in four copies, with Party A and Party B each holding one copy, and the other two copies must be kept by the lawyers of both parties for their records.
Cheng Yu saw a paunchy middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appearing by the swimming pool. He waved to the man, and Jeremy walked over quickly.
"Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Yu nodded and lazily sat up from the couch.
"Please take a seat."
Cheng Yu pointed to the couch opposite.
Jeremy took a look and saw that there were still some water stains on the couch, and he couldn't help but frown.
But thinking that the materials Leonardo sent him clearly stated that Cheng Yu was very difficult to deal with, so he must not offend Cheng Yu in any way, even if he was wearing a suit worth thousands of dollars.
I could only bite the bullet and sit down.
"Hello Mr. Cheng, this is Jeremy who just had a phone call with you. I have been entrusted by our company's headquarters to complete the acquisition of the eight-point and one-point shares in your hand. Here is our company's information on this
Please take a look at the draft contract for the share acquisition."
Cheng Yu nodded, took the contract, and said casually: "Does this require the presence of a lawyer?"
Jeremy hurriedly said: "Mr. Cheng, please rest assured. I have contacted the lawyer and he will be there soon."
Cheng Yu stopped talking and looked at the contract in his hand seriously.
What he could only see was a rough outline, that is, the details of the acquisition of the contract.
As for other contents of the entire contract, he also needs a professional lawyer to review it.
After receiving Leonardo's text message, Cheng Yu also contacted the previous lawyer. He rushed from the law firm to the hotel where Cheng Yu was staying for the second time today.
Lawyers from both sides arrived at the scene almost at the same time. Cheng Yu handed the contract in his hand to his lawyer, and then said to Jeremy: "You can connect with your headquarters. I will not sign the contract until I see the transfer is successful."
.”
Jeremy didn't waste too much time. He turned on his phone and contacted Leonardo with the words "I must die."
After the video call was connected, Leonardo managed to remain rational enough and greeted Cheng Yu as calmly as possible.
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Okay, I know you hate me now, but it's not important. As long as my lawyer says there is no problem with the contract text, you can start the transfer. Transfer the money
If it succeeds, I will sign the contract."
The account number that Cheng Yu left was his company's, and the account opened by Shen Zhiqiu in New York basically guaranteed that the transfer information would be received simultaneously.
If you transfer money to China, there will be many changes in the process.
With an extremely responsible attitude, the lawyer carefully read the four contracts and confirmed that there were no problems in the contracts. At this time, Oracle would never dare to make any more mistakes.
After confirming, he said to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng, there is no problem with the contract."
Cheng Yu also nodded and said to Leonardo on the video call: "Okay, you can have someone transfer the money."
Leonardo had already made preparations, with the authorization of the company's CFO. Although the 10 million yuan requested by Cheng Yuduo still needed to be approved after work on Monday, the 500 million acquisition fund that had been prepared long ago was It has always been lying on the account.
So Leonardo gave an order, the company's finance department clicked the confirmation button, and 50 million US dollars of funds were immediately transferred to the account designated by Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu immediately picked up his cell phone and called Shen Zhiqiu.
"Cheng Yu? Why did you remember to call me? It's almost the Spring Festival, and I'm going back to China. Then I want to visit your home..."
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Shen, I am in Los Angeles now to deal with some things. Because there is a sum of money that needs to be transferred to the account set up by our company in New York, but I do not have the authority to check the account, so I have to trouble you to check it. Check to see if there has been a remittance of US$50 million in the account."
Shen Zhiqiu was slightly stunned and said: "Fifty million US dollars? Is this the money from the investors you found in the United States, Mr. Cheng?"
"No, this matter is a bit complicated. Let me explain it to you later. I also ask you to check your account first."
Shen Zhiqiu said quickly: "Okay, I'll check it right now."
After that, Shen Zhiqiu hung up the phone and called the bank again.
After confirmation, a sum of US$50 million was indeed deposited into his account.
However, since the money could not arrive immediately, Shen Zhiqiu carefully confirmed with the bank that the transfer was irrevocable funds, and then he called Cheng Yu back.
"Cheng Yu, I have confirmed here that a sum of 50 million has indeed been transferred. The funds have been withdrawn from the other party's account, but it will take time for the bank to credit it. At the same time, I have confirmed that this amount is irrevocable. Cash transfer. The final arrival time will take about ten hours. The bank said that the operation will be carried out immediately after work tomorrow morning, and it is expected to be received before ten o'clock."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Thank you. After the funds arrive tomorrow, I will also trouble Mr. Shen to allocate one million US dollars from this account and deposit it into the account of a law firm. The reason for the payment is lawyer consultation." In terms of fees and procedures, the law firm will contact you to handle it.”
"Okay, then I will wait for the law firm to contact me, and then I will confirm with you again."
After a brief chat, Cheng Yu hung up the phone.
Then, he smiled slightly at Leonardo on the video call and said, "Well, Mr. Leonardo, happy cooperation."
After that, Cheng Yu took the signature pen from Jeremy and signed his name on each of the four contracts.
Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, isn't Cheng Yu as difficult as Leonardo said?
He also signed his name on behalf of the company, and lawyers from both parties also signed for certification.
