Surrounded by two assistants, middle-aged David hurriedly walked out of the station. Several of his subordinates who had been waiting outside for a long time hurriedly greeted him.
"How long does it take to get to the venue?"
David didn't make any more pleasantries. He took the headphone device handed over by a blond girl and put it on his head, and asked straight to the point.
"32 minutes! Tesla helped us apply for the cavalry to open the road."
The person in charge answered.
"Oh?" David glanced at his subordinate with a sharply receding hairline in surprise, and said seriously: "Remember to remind me to thank Mr. Zhao later."
"Yes."
At this time, David had already put on the headphone device, turned on the switch, and asked: "What's going on now?"
"It's very complicated. Tesla's attitude has always been very clear. There will be three negotiations in one week at most. If there is no result, they will continue to contact other investment banks."
"How complicated..."
Before David could finish his question, he was interrupted by the noisy discussion in his earphones.
"Obviously, the other party doesn't care about us very much. Our biggest mistake was not sending the top management, which resulted in the current situation - we haven't seen the Tesla founder in three days."
David frowned, pressed the microphone, and said calmly: "I'm here now?"
"Who are you?"
"Morgan Stanley, David!"
"F**K, David, what the fuck have you been doing so far? What's the use of coming here now?"
The speaker was an executive from Belston, David's old rival, and there was no difference in status and he became polite.
"Steve!" David also increased his voice: "It's better than none of our three families coming. Now, tell me, did anything happen during my flight?"
Now is the lowest point of the Internet bubble, and the American plutocrats are all worried about not wanting to give up. Although the top three leaders are not here this time, all the elite departments of the three majors are here, which is enough to show the importance and sincerity of the three majors.
However, Tesla’s time requirements are too stringent!
"David." Another voice came from the earphone, "Currently, the three companies have different information. Just now, we were arguing about the terms of exchange."
"Qiao, you are wrong, it should be four families." At this time, a soft female voice came.
David frowned: "Time Warner, Nancy?"
In the earphones, a chuckle came: "Long time no see, David."
"Just come." David laughed equally easily: "I'm really afraid of that idiot from AOL!"
"so......"
David said without hesitation: "One family at a time."
"OK."
"no problem."
"Yes, but David, our purpose of lowering prices through joint negotiations may go bankrupt!"
David had already got into the commercial car. In the quiet car, David nodded slowly and said into the earphone: "It seems that we have never sincerely united. Let's get started. I'll listen."
"Let's start with us at Bear Stearns. Yesterday, three player companies publicly responded to Tesla's offer, and one of them has launched an online music subscription service."
"This is Merrill Lynch. The news we have received is that the Zhonghua government has expressed its stance to the outside world through a series of events in the past few days and will increase its support for Zhao Song."
David paused and asked quickly: "Are you sure?"
This kind of entrepreneur with a government background is a total plus. With such a business leader, public relations fees (lobbying) can be saved a lot.
"Very sure, David! He currently holds no less than 4 public offices in state-owned enterprises. You can even regard him as a government official in the business community."
"Very good!" David nodded and continued to ask: "Is there any more?"
"Tesla reached a settlement agreement on Sony's USB flash drive intellectual property last night. At the same time, the two parties also signed a series of cross-licenses for mobile storage and music playback."
"What does this have to do with us?" David asked impatiently.
"David, Sony Records has already connected with Tesla!"
"Speaking of Sony, we have news from the island country. Yesterday, SOD Co., Ltd. held a press conference and announced the acquisition of the fifth and ninth largest record companies in the island country at the same time."
Afraid that David would not know the connection, the voice in the earphone continued to explain: "David, SOD President Masaru Takahashi can also be said to be Zhao Song's closest business partner in the island country. Since they met, Takahashi
Yaya quickly became famous in the AV circle of the island country, and now, the people of the island country are more willing to call him the 'golden left brain'!"
What kind of mess is this? David pursed his lips and looked at the road ahead with confused eyes, looking at the unexpectedly prosperous Oriental Magic City.
"David, the news in the island country is very confusing. Regarding the speculation about the relationship between Zhao Song and Takahashi Masaya, Takahashi Masaya's family background will provide you with relevant information. What I want to talk about now is related to Tesla:
At present, Fujitsu, Toshiba, and Elpida have all been listed as first-level strategic partners. Through Takahashi Masaya's relationship, Zhao Song has been maintaining communication channels with Fujitsu Mobile Group. At the same time, taking advantage of the industry's downturn, he laid off employees.
Opportunities, Tesla has poached at least 4 senior engineers from Daiwa Laboratories."
"Yamato Lab...IBM...notebook?"
David asked murmuringly.
Yamato Lab is IBM's notebook design center, and in the field of mobile computers in the island country, Sony's method seems to have lost its effect on the island people. There, 70% of adults will give priority to Fujitsu when buying notebooks. As for Toshiba, it has almost been played by itself.
Broken!
"That's right, David, once the Tesla laptop comes out, its last shortcoming will be plugged."
“…..”
"David, we should be thankful that we reached an agreement to negotiate with Tesla early. Under our feet, this super five-star hotel is already full of people, not only from other large investment banks, but also from some American consortiums.
European record companies, as well as representatives of major flower houses and banks.”
David's frown deepened. With the record company and so many partners, Tesla can be said to have completed ecological closure in the island country, where it has been unimpeded!
Suddenly, David increased his volume and said irritably: "Everyone, I know that I have come to the flower garden, but can you turn off the damn background music in the conference room? I even know that the world-famous song that is playing is called "Two"
"The Spring Reflects the Moon", but I really can't imagine what benefit playing this sad music would do to us at such an urgent moment."
“…..”
"David."
After a while, Nancy's voice came from the earphones: "Actually, the negotiations have already begun. Since getting up in the morning, this damn song has started to come from the opposite room, and I am very sure that the relationship between us and that instrument
The two gates are absolutely made of paper!”
Nancy even suspected that she, a little girl, could punch through the door that sounded empty when she knocked on it!
Nancy, a strong woman who has entered middle age, is sure that the young boy she has never met before is definitely a bad guy!
"..."
David, who had just gotten off the plane, suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted again. He organized his thoughts and finally asked: "Have you reached an agreement on Tesla's valuation?"
"........."
What answered him was a sound of silence.
"Okay!" David looked at his watch, "I'll be there in ten minutes. Let me explain in advance that after this meeting, Morgan Stanley will negotiate with Tesla alone!"
"Hey~ Apart from this, what other purpose would you have for coming here in person? We have already guessed it!"
Bear Stearns' old rival replied disdainfully.
.............
Turning off the headphones, David turned his head and looked at his subordinates: "Lun, what suggestions do you have?"
Hairline shook his head regretfully: "David, we know too little about that Zhao Song. Comparing him before and after he went to college, he was a completely different person and in two different circles!"
Investment banks each have a unique set of standards for what they invest in.
But among flower growers, they invest more in people.
For example, up to now, how could Goldman Sachs invest half of the Internet company that has no originality? The main reason is that the CEO of Goldman Sachs (the flower grower) knows how to judge people.
Hairline's subordinate frowned deeply, and continued while thinking about it: "What I know about Zhao Song, in addition to various news, I heard a sentence from the IBM team that is doing business services for Tesla: The ultimate
User experience, minimalist aesthetic concept, strong marketing capabilities, heavy fetish complex and extreme perfectionism.”
David was startled and murmured: "This kind of thinking... is that... the younger Crazy Joe?"
Hairline shook his head: "You can only know what kind of person he is when you meet him. David, in the Tesla Industrial Park, I saw the most complete industrial chain supporting services and infrastructure construction so far. In IBM
With the help of , their productivity efficiency is still greatly improved, coupled with low labor costs, isn’t this the reason why we in the United States have transferred downstream industries here? It’s just that Tesla was the first to let us see what’s happening here.
Advantage!"
David nodded slowly: "Is there more?"
"Yes! There, Tesla gave us a candid look at their financial situation, they diverted Tesla's cash flow, spun off Microelectronics, and that National Mission Loongson Corporation, and now, Tesla Technologies Co., Ltd.
, it is a clean technology company.”
Hairline took out a piece of information and handed it to David: "This is a list of Tesla's suppliers in the United States. There are three companies involved in our investment. If we invest in it, the good news will be reflected in those three companies."
What will be the outcome on the stock?
David, can you imagine? When I saw all this, it was like seeing a delicious cake falling from the sky. That kid was a devil. This big cake seemed to be specially prepared for us!"
David looked at the information in his hand with a shocked expression, and quickly asked: "Does he have anything sensitive in his hand?"
Hairline knew what David wanted to ask, shook his head and said:
"Without high technology, the things on Fujitsu's assembly line were originally projects that Deyi and other companies were hesitant to give up. Unexpectedly, Tesla bought the entire territory.
I guess the purpose of his doing this is to replace domestic products and reduce costs. When the yield rate of those products reaches Tesla's requirements, how much cost can be reduced with the advantages of Tesla's entire industry chain?
As for memory.......
We in the United States have stopped doing this a long time ago. There are at least fifty companies in the world playing this crap, and not one of them is making money now!"
Now is not the future. There is still one of the three major memory particle oligarchs in the United States, Micron, which can be used as a weapon to involve the mainland.
David was relieved to hear the hairline explanation and finally asked, "What else?"
"Yes!" Hairline nodded seriously, took out a bunch of newspapers and materials and handed them to the president again: "These are the news about him beating people and going to jail two days ago, and the news that Tesla is a science fiction company.
They took no remedial measures.
There is also news from a week ago: a plan to reduce state-owned shares will be launched soon, which will cause market shocks and hot money transfers.
Thinking of Zhao Song's sudden decision to go to Shanghai and Shenzhou Technology's large force to inspect Guangdong Province, my rough guess is that the Zhonghua stock market is about to collapse, and Zhao Song has been cooling down Shenzhou Technology's stock price. When it collapses, he will definitely have a series of
Good news is released."
After saying this, Hairline looked at David seriously and said with emotion:
"President, for such a company and such an entrepreneur who is responsible for the interests of shareholders, why should we not invest in him?"
.....................
Ritz Carlton sub-floor.
In the room directly opposite the conference room, the Yangyin girl who was playing the erhu stopped what she was doing, gently opened the door a crack, then snickered and ran to the side. In her original position, she changed
A boy from Yangyin, of course, changed the instrument in his hand to...
Flowers and musical instruments all have the same soul living in them. The guqin and guzheng live in the ancient literati. The erhu lives in a miserable common man in the deep city. The dizi and Xiao are knights in the rivers and lakes. As for the suona, there is a bandit living in it~
Twelve minutes later, David arrived at the sub-penthouse conference room of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. He gently knocked on the door, which was obviously a new one. Hearing the empty sound, he showed a dumbfounded expression.
Then, he glanced at the room full of investment elites, cleared his throat, and said:
"Let's seize the time and unify the strategy for the next negotiation..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of high-pitched and tearful suona sound.
"Na na~"
"..."
David's body was trembling, and veins popped out on his face.
"What's this?"
"Suona~" Nancy replied with a half-smile.
"I know, what I asked was what kind of music it was."
Nancy shrugged, said nothing, and listened quietly.
............
"Erquan Music" is very miserable, but it is so nice, so there are even worse songs than it. The song that is miserable for the sake of being miserable originally had no lyrics, but in order to better describe it, someone filled it in for it.
Words:
Run my tears
Like a river that never returns
Not only does it never stop, it never declines, it never stops.
Never ending, endlessly
big river flow
take my tears away
let me pass
Along with the river water will never look back.
.....................
The song "River Water" has finished and the time for negotiation is about to come.
Facing that young company that occupies 30% of the global portable MP3 market share, no one of these greedy capitals is willing to be late, and no one dares to be late.
Otherwise, the sharks downstairs, who seem to smell the smell of blood, will pounce on them viciously, and the shareholders behind them will tear them to pieces.
Sighing deeply and forcibly bringing up his depressed mood after hearing "River Water", David said softly: "Let's go and meet the richest man who grows flowers."
.....................
In five minutes, that delicious meal carefully prepared for the Western capital world will officially welcome its predator.
Capital means blood, cruelty, and full of magic.
How much is Tesla worth?
At this moment, the whole world is paying attention!
.............
I am Zhao Song, the owner of a company with music engraved in my bones. Next, please listen to the third song prepared for you.
