Chapter 258: The situation is widened, enemies can also be friends!
End of the meeting.
Rebus took Zhang Shuo to eat together again and asked doubtfully: "Do you really think that the chip will get stuck in the future?"
He had to be cautious about Zhang Shuo's words.
"Then it depends on how high domestic mobile phones can reach." Zhang Shuo's eyes were very meaningful. After the original time and space Warwick was restricted, Xiaomi was living a very healthy life.
"What's the meaning?"
Rebus was heartbroken when Zhang Shuo saw him.
"If domestic mobile phones only target the mid-to-low-end market, then people may be merciful and live with us and make money together. But if we also want to target the high-end market and threaten the status of Fruit and Samsung, then what do you think?
, will they still compete fairly with us?" Zhang Shuo said with a smile.
"this……"
Rebus was instantly stuck.
For one thing, he didn't expect that Zhang Shuo was so ambitious and wanted to compete with the fruit, Samsung.
Crazy?
Secondly, I understand the scene described by Zhang Shuo very well.
Of course, Rebus is not stupid. He knows very well what is going on with the companies in the beautiful country. Just like the international capital giants, they are a bunch of masters who eat people without spitting out their bones.
Where is the mercy and fairness?
"According to what you say, we will always be stuck in the middle and low end, eating what others have left over?" Rebus was very unwilling. He also had ambitions and dreams.
Of course I don't want to be so cowardly.
"If we don't make changes, it will basically be like this." Zhang Shuo had something to say.
He wanted to give Rebus a hand.
Although the original space-time Xiaomi is not satisfactory in terms of research and development, it does not mean that Rebus is a businessman who only knows how to pursue profits and has no feelings about family and country at all.
At least Zhang Shuo didn't believe it.
It's just that the mountains in the beautiful country are too majestic, and the technical barriers are so high that people can't even think about competing with the beautiful country, so they are forced to choose a shortcut that seems to be a "survival path".
It's not just Rebus.
In the original time and space, Erye even insisted in 2015 that the beautiful country was unique in the world in its accumulation of underlying Internet technologies such as operating systems, databases, and chips.
Other countries can only seek breakthroughs on the periphery.
These remarks have also become Tenda’s logic for not getting involved in high-tech fields such as chips and operating systems, and only focusing on the development of software application levels.
All suffer from ugliness to a greater or lesser extent.
There are signs of the development of the times in it, but we can't be too demanding.
The reason why Zhang Shuo is an outlier is because he is still young and has experienced the baptism of the original time and space. He has become more confident and dares to look at the world head-on.
But it's not enough for him to look straight at him alone. It's best to bring others along.
"What can we do, develop chips? As far as domestic technology accumulation is concerned, it will not be able to catch up with the current level of the beautiful country in 20 to 30 years, and the long-distance water cannot quench the near-term thirst." Rebus is still very sober.
.
If there is no choice, who would want to bear the infamy?
"It's definitely too late to just wait." Zhang Shuo was also very patient, "What's more, we are already in the middle of the situation, so we need to prepare for a rainy day. Even if we can't change anything, it's good to make some progress. I
I heard that the government intends to integrate the chip industry and introduce private capital. Isn’t this a ready-made opportunity?”
After going around in a long circle, Zhang Shuo finally got to the point.
"Really or not, why haven't I received any news?"
Rebus was shocked and confused. He claimed that his connections in the capital were pretty good. He shouldn't know anything about such a big matter, unless...
"Absolutely true."
At this point, Zhang Shuo stopped explaining.
But in the eyes of Rebus, Zhang Shuo seemed a bit inscrutable at this time. He secretly wondered, could it be that Zhang Shuo actually has a lot of connections in the official circles?
Think about it too.
Germination has been going smoothly all the way, but it would have been impossible without the help of noble people.
This makes sense.
"Okay, if you really want to do it, count me in the trouble."
Anyway, the eight characters haven’t been written yet.
Rebus readily agreed, not only out of sincerity, but also deliberately intending to befriend Zhang Shuo.
"I remember it."
Zhang Shuo was half joking and half serious. He gave Rebus a rare toast, "Do it!"
"Okay!"
Why did Rebus feel a little guilty when Zhang Shuo said this?
This guy is evil!
"And one more thing,"
Riding on his drunkenness, Zhang Shuo approached Rebus and whispered: "If I really hate Scarlet Capital because of being close to me. If the latter really dares to attack Xiaomi, if necessary, I am willing to do my best."
support."
"better not!"
Rebus smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was actually very wary of Germination.
………
There was no more news on the third day of the meeting.
On August 26, the day after the Internet Conference, Moya and Ali jointly held a press conference and announced that both parties would act in concert to launch a tender offer for Haode Maps.
A tender offer refers to the acquirer issuing an acquisition announcement to the acquired company, and the acquisition can only be implemented after the acquired listed company confirms the acquisition.
This is also the most important form of acquisition in the securities markets of various countries. It uses a public offer to all shareholders to achieve the purpose of controlling the target company.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation on the entire Internet.
"Mai Ya and Ah Li actually got together? What a wonder!"
"The case has been solved. No wonder the uncle looked at the cute king in a different light during the meeting. There really was a PY deal."
"I am an employee of Haode. According to internal information, it was Scarlet Capital who first wanted to bring in Ahri to deal with Suiya. How come in the blink of an eye, Ahri and Suiya are now on the same side?"
"This is not simple, Scarlet Capital has been fooled!"
"I have to say that the cute king has just returned to his old age, and his methods are really brilliant. I admire him!"
"What should I do if I feel like a waste when I think that I am the same age as the cute king?"
"Be more confident upstairs and get rid of your feelings!"
"If God had not given birth to my cute king, eternity would have been like a long night, ugh!!!"
"I really want to know how Scarlet Capital is feeling at this time?"
"People are already miserable enough, but you still want to rub salt into the wound and steal the bamboo shoots. All I can say is, well done!"
"That's right, it's OK to bully others, but it's not OK to bully my husband!"
…
After the cute emoticon pack leaked out, Zhang Shuo suddenly transformed and became an Internet celebrity. He also gained hundreds of thousands of wives overnight, all of whom wanted to take him as their own.
That’s scary!
In fact, before the announcement was made, Moya and Ahli, acting in concert, had secretly purchased the listed shares of Artemisia Map at a low price on the US stock market.
After reaching the critical line of 30%, a tender offer will be launched in accordance with regulations.
This not only ensures the rights and interests of small and medium-sized shareholders of Haode Map, but also prevents Moya and Ahli from being taken advantage of and paying an excessively high price.
As soon as the announcement came out, Haode Map's stock price, which had been cut in half, immediately rose by 8 points.
But this actually doesn't mean much.
Because the tender offer also has another meaning, that is, the acquisition price is clearly specified. If it exceeds this price, the tender offer will fail.
Unlimited premium is impossible.
In addition to their actions in the stock market, Moya and Ahli have also met frequently with the major shareholders of Haode Map in the past week and signed acquisition contracts through negotiation.
Purpose.
It means to take over the unlisted shares from the major shareholders.
The ultimate goal is to realize the wholly-owned acquisition of Haode Map, privatize Haode Map, and completely delist Haode Map from the United States to comply with regulatory requirements.
Therefore, this will be an extremely complex acquisition.
Fortunately, Sprout is only a support player, and Ahli is the main investor.
According to the agreement between sprout and Ahri, sprout is expected to invest 250 million, plus the 10.5% stake it previously held, it will eventually hold 25% of the shares in Haode Map, and Ali will hold 75%.
The relevant acquisition team is also mainly hired by Ali.
In order to obtain 10.5% of Haode Map's shares, Germination spent a huge amount of 450 million. Now it only needs 250 million to acquire 14.5% of the new shares.
This shows how serious the stock price plunge of Haode Map was.
After the press conference, the uncle took the initiative to invite Zhang Shuo and said with a smile: "Let's get together tonight? Introduce a few friends to you."
Obviously he is very satisfied with this transaction.
"Well, I've already booked a flight for the afternoon, and I'm going to the airport later." Zhang Shuo felt a little embarrassed.
"You are in such a hurry to go back?" The uncle was a little unhappy.
"That's it. I'm going to visit my graduate tutor tomorrow and made an appointment in advance." Zhang Shuo explained.
"Are you still in graduate school?"
The uncle was even more surprised. He had not paid attention to relevant information before.
"I took the postgraduate entrance examination last year..."
Seeing that the uncle was curious, Zhang Shuo could only explain again.
"So that's it." After understanding the reason, the uncle couldn't help but look at Zhang Shuogao again and gave a thumbs up: "You are already so successful, and you can still think about furthering your studies. It's really amazing."
It’s true that I admire you.
Just for this point, Zhang Shuo dumped many people.
"Respecting teachers and respecting the teachings should not be neglected. In ancient times, it was necessary to practice discipleship." The uncle attached great importance to the inheritance of the teachings. He was relieved and said with a smile: "Then I will find an opportunity next time.
Gather."
It is rare for an uncle to think so highly of a young man, and Zhang Shuo really caught his eye.
Very promising!
"must!"
Zhang Shuo also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he didn't really want to get into the uncle's social circle and would try to avoid it as much as possible.
Moreover, the deal with Haode Map seems to be a joint action between Maoya and Ahri, but Ahri is the biggest beneficiary. It achieved control of Haode Map with nearly half of the expected capital.
The sprouts just follow the soup.
If Scarlet Capital hadn't suddenly launched an attack, Zhang Shuoda could have waited until next year to take action against Haode Map. By then, Sprout could have swallowed Haode Map alone.
Instead of being robbed by Ah Li, a dragon crossing the river, like now.
To some extent.
This can be regarded as Zhang Shuo making a wedding dress for Ah Li.
