D-wave company's New York office, small conference room.
Shi Lei expressed his intention to acquire D-wave Company in a domineering manner, which stunned everyone in the conference room.
Xiao Bo smiled bitterly in his heart. He originally estimated that based on Shi Lei's shrewdness, he would not express his thoughts so frankly to avoid being at a disadvantage in the negotiation.
But that's the fact. Shi Lei bluntly stated that he wanted to acquire D-wave Company.
The three people from D-wave Company all looked at Shi Lei with joy. Although they predicted from the beginning that Dream Entertainment Company might acquire D-wave Company, they did not expect that Shi Lei would say it directly.
"Mr. Shi, do you, Dream Entertainment Company, want to acquire our D-wave company?" Hoyt Vandenberg, the president of D-wave company, asked confirmingly.
Hoyt did not mistake Shi Lei's title this time. His tone was full of hospitality and his eyes looked at Shi Lei longingly, which made Shi Lei feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Vandenberg, how much do you plan to sell D-wave Company for?" Shi Lei asked.
Hoyt is the absolute controlling shareholder of D-wave, holding 75% of the shares. He can completely decide the fate of D-wave.
As for Vice President Santford and Technical Director Walter, although they hold 25% of the equity, they have no influence on D-wave's decision-making. They only have the right to make suggestions, not decision-making.
D-wave is not a listed company and is not circulated in the stock market. Therefore, it cannot achieve full ownership of D-wave through the stock market, just like sniping AMD.
As the president of D-wave, Hoyt Vandenberg actually doesn’t like the company very much. President Hoyt is only an investor, and Vice President Santford is also a financial partner, but the real person of D-wave is
The entrepreneur is technical director Walter Smith.
The development path of D-wave company clearly explains that the two presidents do not love the nature of D-wave company. D-wave company likes to brag about advertising so much that the computer technology community does not agree with this company, and even
Disgusted.
Hoyt Vandenberg did not answer Shi Lei's question, but asked: "Mr. Shi, at what price are you planning to acquire our D-wave company, Dream Entertainment Company?"
Vice President Santefu advocated from the side: "Mr. Shi, our D-wave company is the world's most advanced technology company for the development and production of quantum computers. Our company has already produced an officially commercial quantum computer. As a future technology
In mainstream development, quantum computers have better performance than electronic computers. Mr. Shi, you should be very clear about this, right?"
Technical Director Walter Smith frowned slightly and didn't say anything. He didn't like the way the company was developing, especially the nonsense, which was not Walter's style at all.
Walter Smith is not very proficient in business matters. The reason why he came to participate in the negotiation this time is actually that Walter's idea is very simple, that is, D-wave Company will get close to the wealthy company of Dream Entertainment Company, thereby obtaining a large amount of research and development funds.
Currently, Walter is very dissatisfied with the issue of R&D funds. Many times, D-wave cannot come up with the corresponding R&D funds for whatever R&D and experiments Walter plans to do.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Hoyt and Santford, because as investors, they invested in D-wave not because they have any interest in quantum computers, but because they want to make money!
Capital investment is just to get more capital!
Shi Lei looked at Hoyt and Santford with a smile, and said: "Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Santford, the evaluation department of our Dream Entertainment Company has made an evaluation of your D-wave company. Your company's current
The market value, including brand value, is only worth about $12 million."
The evaluation department of Dream Entertainment Company did evaluate D-wave Company, but it was not US$12 million, but US$22 million.
Shi Lei does have problems with his negotiation skills, but Shi Lei is not a fool, so how could he not understand anything?
President Hoyt immediately retorted: "Mr. Shi, please forgive my rudeness, your Dream Entertainment evaluation department has unfairly evaluated our company! Our company's market value, according to our company's internal evaluation, is approximately
About $100 million."
Vice President Santefu also said: "That's right! Mr. Shi, we are the only manufacturer in the world that has officially commercialized quantum computers. We are completely unmatched by other concept companies."
Shi Lei sneered in his heart, Hoyt and Santford really thought he was a traitor, did they want to kill him severely?
"It seems that we can't talk anymore!" Shi Lei stood up directly and was about to leave the small conference room of D-wave Company.
Hoyt and Santford were once again stunned. Isn't negotiation just a process of bargaining? This guy Shi Lei doesn't act according to reason at all!
Just like Hoyt, Santford and Shi Lei were playing Landlords together. When Hoyt played four twos, Shi Lei directly played five nines. There was only one deck of cards in total. How did it come to be that there were five nines?
When Hoyt and Santford understood Shi Lei's five nines, that is, Shi Lei said straight away that he wanted to acquire D-wave company, the two of them played a new card of three, four, five, six and seven, and Shi Lei directly played five and seven.
Ba JK is completely playing without following the rules of the game.
How can you not bargain in a business negotiation?
"Mr. Shi, please wait. If you are not satisfied with our price, you can tell us what your Dream Entertainment Company thinks." Hoyt quickly stopped Shi Lei, fearing that Shi Lei would really leave like this.
D-wave company is in the hands of Hoyt and Santford, and it is no longer possible!
The D-wave company of later generations is indeed facing a difficult situation. Because the quantum computers produced by D-wave company are completely unavailable. Only in 2013, NASA cooperated with Google to purchase a quantum computer.
That's $15 million in revenue.
This is the first time in the history of D-wave that a quantum computer has been sold as a commercial product.
Shi Lei, who was retained, did not sit down immediately, but just turned to look at Hoyt and Santefu, and said: "President Hoyt, Vice President Santefu, you have no intention of selling D-wave Company.
Why keep talking about it?"
Hoyt quickly said: "We do have plans to sell D-wave Company, Mr. Shi, we can talk about it in detail."
"President Hoyt, please forgive my rudeness. First, your D-wave company's quantum computer is not officially commercialized. The quantum computer you put out this year is just an experimental model, right? You promote it to the outside world.
It is for official commercial use, just for the company's publicity needs. We at Dream Entertainment are very clear about this. Secondly, we at Dream Entertainment also know very well how much your company is worth. The price you falsely reported has no meaning."
Shi Lei paused and continued: "If you are sincere in selling the company, just give me a final offer. Your D-wave company is not our only choice. The acquisition of D-wave company is not because I am optimistic about your company, but just
I’m just bored!”
Such a trivial reason once again shocked the three people from D-wave!
Even Xiao Bo couldn't confirm for a while whether Shi Lei really wanted to acquire D-wave Company or, as Shi Lei said, he was just bored.
Hoyt's expression changed. He didn't know whether what Shi Lei said was true or false. 'Oops! How should I respond to this damn bastard? If this bastard is really just bored and playing, our price is too high. According to what he said before
With such an attitude, I'm afraid I really can't sell it to him!'
Santford coughed lightly and pushed the phone to Hoyt. On the screen of the phone, Santford entered the price of 30 million US dollars in the text message draft interface.
Hoyt thought about it and accepted the price, then said to Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, our final quotation is US$30 million!"
Without saying a word, Shi Lei took out the Swiss Bank's overseas account check book, signed a check on it, and placed it on the conference table.
Hoyt and Santford had smiles on their faces.
However, the next moment, their smiles froze. Shi Lei broke their illusions and said: "Twenty million dollars, accept this price, and start the equity transfer agreement process today. If you don't accept, I won't bother to talk to you."
Let’s play! I’m going to inspect AMD, and I’m not interested in delaying it for too long with you.”
Hoyt and Santford looked at each other, both showing a look of hesitation. Technical Director Walter suddenly said: "Mr. Shi, if you acquire D-wave Company, will you invest sufficient R&D funds?"
Shi Lei glanced at Walter and said with an arrogant expression: "It depends on whether D-wave Company is worth investing in!"
Walter assured: "Mr. Shi, I can assure you that your investment will be worth it! I am the technical director of D-wave Company, and I understand the development potential of quantum computer technology! If funds are sufficient, my research and development progress will be
It will be faster! I only need sufficient R&D funds, I don’t want to pay too much attention to other things!”
Hoyt and Santford looked at Walter angrily. Walter was "ogling" Dream Entertainment Company in disguise. His subtext was: "If the acquisition fails, he can join Dream Entertainment Company, as long as he has enough
R&D funding!'
Shi Lei laughed a few times, looked at Hoyt and said: "President Hoyt, think about it for ten seconds. After ten seconds, I will no longer be interested in your D-wave company!"
Facing the powerful Shi Lei, Hoyt and Santford were completely defeated and chose to accept Shi Lei's conditions to prevent the technical director Walter from following Shi Lei and turning their D-wave company into a complete empty shell.
In the next two days, Xiao Bo followed three senior executives of D-wave Company and returned to Burnaby City, Ghana, to handle the equity transaction of D-wave Company.
Dream Entertainment has not announced this acquisition yet, and Shi Lei plans to delay the announcement for a while. Because it is already June 9th, Lijian time, and Dream Entertainment's player activities in New York City are about to begin.
The joint show between Gabriel and Shi Lei is about to take place...
