An arc was drawn in the air, and the white pellet golf ball fell on the lawn dozens of meters away.
"Pah, pah, pah."
On the golf course, Yin Fanka smiled and clapped.
"Great game, Lu! I never thought you would not only make money, but also have such good skills."
The person in front of him dressed in red is none other than the notorious Wolf King of Wall Street, Carl Inkan.
"No matter how good I am, I'm still 12 strokes behind you. It seems I'm still not good at golf."
Lu Fei looked at Yin Fanka calmly.
Carl Yinkan and Dong Jianguo are old friends. Even if hotels, casinos, and resorts go bankrupt and reorganized, they can be trusted to be run by him.
In the name of Dong Jianguo, Yin Fanka made an appointment to play golf at his private golf course. He easily helped them match up.
Jianghu is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relations.
America is more sophisticated and sophisticated than China.
It's just that you can't get into other people's circles, and they won't take you to play at all.
"You can ask Yin Fanka to teach you, or her father will come and ask him to teach you later. Both father and daughter have good golf skills." Carl Yinkan smiled and swung the club.
"Having her is enough. I even made several eagles with me some time ago, and even made a hole-in-one."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth raised, and Yin Fanka glanced at him secretly, immediately changed the subject, clapped his hands and cheered: "Good shot!"
"Hahaha, I feel good today."
Carl Yinkan held a cigar in his mouth and reached into his pocket to take out the money to reward the caddy. However, he suddenly paused and did not take out the money even though he had money. Instead, he cast a sly look at Lu Fei and the two.
He tui, Grandet!
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth twitched and he glanced at Yin Fanka.
Damn Fuck! Two misers!
Yin Fanka resisted the urge to curse and gave him a tip.
"Karl, what do you think?"
Lu Fei threw the club to the caddy.
The plump Yangma people understood this and after receiving the money, they retreated for three miles, not daring to eavesdrop on the conversations of the big shots.
"I seem to have no reason to refuse you. Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility will indeed allow me to make a lot of money!"
Carl Yinkan looked at the two of them, "And you."
"Uncle Carl, so you agree!?"
Yin Fanka immediately put her resentment about tipping behind her.
Compared with the business in front of me, a few hundred dollars is nothing!
The family fund invested in Motorola under the operation of Lu Fei. She never expected that within a month or so, she would immediately receive returns, and the rate of return was beyond her imagination.
If the acquisition is really completed for the US$11.5 billion that they verbally agreed to, with the 10% shares held by them and Lu Fei,
You can earn $1.15 billion!
Earned at least three or four times!
"The moment I joined Motorola Mobility, I had a premonition that there would be something different and big."
Carl Yinkan smiled and said, "I don't know what they would think if Sanjay Jia and the others knew that what they had summoned was not the savior, but Satan."
"No, no, no, I am indeed the savior. By doing this, I am saving the entire company. Motorola has already declined. Even if it transforms from a feature phone to a smartphone, it will be doomed sooner or later due to its rigid thinking and poor innovation capabilities."
Lu Fei shrugged, "I just help Motorola make the most beneficial choice. You win, I win, everyone wins!"
Carl Yinkan said grandly, "You are right, we are all trying to save Motorola in our own way. How can there be such kind and good people in the world like us?"
shameless!
Seeing their sanctimonious self-movement, Yin Fanka said impatiently: "Uncle Carl, how do you plan to make Google take over Motorola smoothly?"
"Proposing a wholly-owned acquisition immediately will definitely not work."
Carl Yinkan pondered for a moment, "That will cause a lot of people to backlash. At present, I don't fully control the entire board of directors. Counting my own 4 seats, I only have 14, which is barely enough for half." At this point, he lowered his voice.
sound.
"Lu, I will find a way to get at least 2 seats for you. Next, you have to use your own influence and try to win over other directors and shareholders. As long as two-thirds..."
"This is no problem, but I need your help."
Lu Fei smiled knowingly.
"Of course, our interests are the same!"
Carl Yinkan readily agreed to match him.
Watching them shake hands after reaching a consensus, Yin Fanka's heart was pounding, as if he had heard the sound of hundreds of millions of dollars arriving.
Moreover, thanks to Lu Fei’s relationship with Deutsche Bank, Dong Jianguo also survived the debt crisis, and the entire family is on the road to prosperity.
She stared at Lu Fei, feeling spring in her heart.
"Yin Fanka, hasn't your father come yet?"
Karl Yinkan suddenly spoke up.
"Uncle Carl, I called and asked."
Yin Fanka was so excited that she picked up the phone and dialed.
At this time, the two exchanged investment opinions with each other.
Carl Yinkan recommended two stocks of Herbalife, and Lu Fei responded in kind and suggested investing heavily in Apple and Netflix.
"Apple is indeed good, but I don't know about Netflix. I have to go back and study it again." He half-joked, "Besides these two, Lu, I know you have at least one."
"Oh, what do you know?"
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.
"Are you planning to acquire Mentor International?"
Carl Yinkan gave me a "you know" look.
Seeing his determined expression, Lu Fei knew that the matter was leaked and did not hide it, "You also know this? Your information channels are really well-informed."
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't intentionally spy on your investment. It was a complete coincidence, because I am also interested in Mentor International."
"you?"
"What, you don't believe it?"
“Do you know what Mentor International is?”
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.
Mentor Graphics International is one of the three largest EDA software companies in the world, the other two being Synopsys Technology and Cadence Electronics.
Before the emergence of EDA, everyone drew the layout by hand.
But with EDA, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
From an economic perspective alone, the cost of designing a 14nm chip is US$200 million, and the cost of designing a 7nn chip is US$600 million. This is all assuming EDA tools are available. If EDA is not used——
Design costs may directly climb to 120 billion U.S. dollars.
One of Huawei's most fatal weaknesses in the past was EDA tools. Without them, 28nm logic chips and memory chips would have been impossible to design, let alone manufacturing, packaging, and mass production.
But unfortunately, these three EDA companies are all from the United States and occupy 95% of the domestic market share.
As for the gap, it's almost 15 years or more.
"Of course I know that this is a software company that specializes in helping electronic product engineers solve chip design problems."
Carl Yinkan said: "So I guessed that there were potential strategic acquirers, so I did some research and found out that a company registered in Singapore dared to bid for Cadence Electronics, so I spent a little more thought on it. It seems that
You need it badly."
"You are half right. Mentor Graphics International has a deep accumulation in the design, simulation and manufacturing of IC and systems, but it is not that I need it, it is that it needs me! Mentor Graphics International has seen its revenue decline for three consecutive years.
With a net loss, in today’s economic situation, a complementary company with financial resources and strength is needed.”
"You want to say that the International Directive International needs logic to save it?"
"It's not a rescue, it's a win-win situation."
"A win-win? What a 'win-win'."
Karl Yinkan cursed in his heart, you won twice, right?
Lu Fei could hear his strange tone, "Mentor International is not a necessity. We also have our own EDA company."
As early as last year, the 4 trillion market rescue plan was released. In addition to injecting tens of billions into the national fund to support semiconductors, a new support project was established, the "Nuclear High-Tech Major Special Plan."
Among them, EDA is listed as the top priority.
Logic then established a joint venture with Huawei and Huaxia Electronic Information Industry Group to establish the first EDA tool company in China——
Huada Jiutian.
Including IC design, wiring, verification and simulation...
But it takes at least 6 years to develop an EDA tool.
He said seriously: "The acquisition of Mentor International will certainly enhance the competitiveness of BGI Jiutian Industrial Software, but it doesn't matter if we don't acquire it. I have other alternatives."
"Lu, I'm not trying to argue with you about Mingdao International."
Karl Yinkan said: "I actually want to help you."
"help me?"
"You know maybe I'm not good at running a company, but buying a company, you know, that's my specialty!"
"Do you want to cooperate with me to acquire Mentor International?"
Lu Fei couldn't help but feel excited, "What are the conditions?"
"Seventy-three percent, I want to hold 70% of the equity."
Carl Yinkan made a gesture.
"51%."
Lu Fei knew exactly what he was planning.
"60%!"
Karl Yinkan frowned and said, "I gave in 10%. This concession is big enough. Lu, you have to be content."
"52%!"
Watching them bargaining and quarreling, Yin Fanka was confused, especially when Lu Fei bit "55%" to death.
Not willing to give in another step!
No matter how hard Carl Yinkan tried to coerce and induce him, he would either say "I have an alternative plan" or "I will be self-reliant at the worst", but in short, the equity ratio was stuck at 55:45.
An old man and a young man are like two hungry wolves fighting.
Even when the fight came to Dong Jianguo, there was no winner.
"Honey, why did this bastard Lu have a quarrel with Carl? Is it because the Motorola Mobility talks are not going well?"
What he cared about was not his old friend, but the hundreds of millions of dollars that Google could make by acquiring Motorola. Otherwise, even if he starved to death and jumped from a building, he would never help Lu Fei.
"No, Dad, the conversation went very smoothly."
Yin Fanka explained as clearly as possible, "Why is Uncle Carl so obsessed with controlling Mentor International? He doesn't know how to manage the company, so leaving it to Lu's hands and letting him grow the company, isn't it a win-win situation?"
Why is the fight like this?”
"How naive, Honey, do you think Carl is fighting for control? No, he is fighting for a beautiful sword!"
Dong Jianguo immediately grasped the trick.
The reason why Lu Fei wanted to use a company in Singapore to acquire Mentor International was because a direct acquisition would most likely not pass the approval of the Trade Commission, especially since it had just acquired Nortel Networks.
It can be done once, it can be done twice, but it can’t be done again!
Even if Mr. Lu has a community of interests behind him, it won't work.
But if the bright ones don't work, then the dark ones will come.
Using a shell company to buy Mentor International, and then Logic fully acquiring the shell company, is equivalent to trapping a baby and getting it.
The key is, the vest can be worn more than once.
It's like arresting Zhou Shuren. What does Lu Xun have to do with me?
The acquisition is from a company in Singapore, so my logic has nothing to do with it!
"I understand, Dad!"
After all, Yin Fanka had been enlightened by Lu Fei for a long time, and he said, "Uncle Carl saw this, and helped Lu Fei maliciously acquire Mentor International. After the delisting was completed, he transferred all the share premiums.
Give it to him and earn the price difference, so the more shares you hold now, the more you will earn in the future."
"You're doing pretty well in Hollywood, Honey."
Dong Jianguo was very pleased.
"Main Lu Diao...teaches well."
Yin Fanka pursed her lips and looked at Lu Fei.
Damn it, Lu Fei! You’re so mad at me!
Dong Jianguo's eyes were blazing, and he recalled listening to the corner that night.
Just as the father and daughter were walking towards them, Carl Yinkan and Lu Fei also ended their wrangling and had to hold their noses and agree:
"Lu, if it's really yours, let's say 55%."
“A pleasure to work with.”
Lu Fei smiled warmly, and with the help of Carl Yinkan, a hostile takeover maniac, it was difficult for Mentor International not to fall into the trap.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Carl Yinkan looked at him and showed an embarrassed smile.
"I hope I can hear your good news next time I come to the United States." Lu Fei found an excuse to discuss with Google, left first, and walked straight to the golf cart.
"Dad, you two fight slowly."
Yin Fanka followed eagerly.
"Lu, this damn bastard."
Dong Jianguo was furious, feeling as if his caring little cotton-padded jacket had been worn away by Mr. Lu.
"What a jerk! I've never seen someone so good at bargaining. He looks more Jewish than me. I really want to find out if he has Jewish ancestry."
Karl Yinkan rolled his eyes angrily.
"Karl, you think so too, don't you?"
"But don't say it, I also want my daughter to find such a bastard and earn your family hundreds of millions of dollars in just one game."
"You want it so much, why don't I give it to you?"
"Stop making trouble, I don't have a daughter, haha~"
"I don't have such a son-in-law either!"
Dong Jianguo looked at the car driving away, feeling a dull pain in his heart. If it weren't for the subprime mortgage crisis, if it wasn't for the debt crisis...
With this thought in mind, I suddenly took a swing.
The entire piece of turf was blown away, and he cursed:
"Yeah!"
"Carl is such a bastard!"
Lu Fei jumped out of the car and walked into the exclusive changing room.
"Why? Didn't you finally reach an agreement?"
Yin Fanka and two Ocean Polo caddies followed in.
"If he makes a move, I will have to spend at least one to two hundred million dollars more. The handling fee is really expensive. If I invest this money directly in BGI for nine days, I might be able to close the 10-year gap."
Lu Fei pulled his clothes apart forcefully.
On the surface, I hold 45% of the shares, but in fact, I have to contribute about 5%, which is called joint investment by THL and other funds.
It is equivalent to the toll of a green light.
"But your Huada Jiujiang has been established for more than a year, how can it compare with Mentor International, which has been established for 27 years?" Yin Fanka was curious, "But aren't you afraid that he will charge a high price?"
"Why should I be afraid? At worst, I don't want Karl's shares, and he doesn't know how to manage. In the end, the management rights will have to be handed over to me?" Lu Fei said with a smile, "Besides, I have an alternative plan."
"Do you really have an alternative plan? I thought you were trying to bargain with him and scare him."
Yin Fanka was startled and asked urgently.
"secret."
Lu Fei made a silent gesture.
If the United States is not good, then there is Europe!
When the European debt crisis comes, let alone EDA, PLD, PCB, and CAD, as long as you can get started, search them all.
"Are you going back to China soon?"
Yin Fanka took off his hat and shoes.
Lu Fei nodded, "But before that, I'm going to Houston to watch a game. The Rockets will play the Cavaliers. Do you want to come with me?"
"It's strange that you actually want to invite me to watch a football match..."
Yin Fanka suddenly thought of something, "Are you planning to inspect the Houston Rockets and then buy them?"
"You guessed it half right, Larry will go too, just in time to watch the game and talk about the acquisition of Motorola."
Lu Fei pulled up his pants and said, "Are you going?"
Yin Fanka pouted, "Why not."
"These pants don't fit well either."
Lu Fei frowned and saw the Ocean Polo caddy immediately squatting down and secretly giving him an ambiguous look.
Bichi!
Yin Fanka's face was as cold as ice and he blasted them all out.
The door was then locked and not opened for a long time.
When I opened it again, there was no one inside.
Only the cleaning staff was washing the floor. Dong Jianguo and Carl Yinkan, who happened to have done a few holes, came back. When they saw this scene, their whole faces suddenly turned green and white, their hearts were bleeding and tears were flowing.
Karl Yinkan glanced at his face and snickered secretly.
Could it be that this is how the eagle shot was made?
