Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 292 Acquisition Commission
the next morning.

Lin Baicheng and Wade Thomas met at the appointed place.

Wade Thomas brought an assistant over, and Lin Baicheng brought Isabella and Bill Hawes here this time, in addition to the bodyguards he always brought with him wherever he went.

Both parties are old acquaintances, without too much politeness, let's get straight to the point.

Lin Baicheng said: "Thomas, I want to entrust Goldman Sachs to acquire a home appliance company. This home appliance company must at least have one of the three technologies of TV, refrigerator, and air conditioner, and the technology must be at least second-rate in the world. It is of course best to have a world-class level.”

Wade Thomas nodded first, and then asked: "Alan, do you have to buy the home appliance company? If it is the production technology of home appliances, can you do it?"

"Technology is also okay, as long as the technical level is not lower than the world's second-rate, it is best to have a world-class level."

Lin Baicheng nodded when he heard the words, and then added: "One of the three technologies of TV, refrigerator and air conditioner is acceptable, but if possible, I hope to acquire the technologies of all three home appliances."

The assistant wrote down Lin Baicheng's conditions one by one, and Wade Thomas continued to ask: "So Alan, what is the upper limit of the acquisition funds?"

"If the three technologies add up, then the upper limit of the acquisition funds is 1 million U.S. dollars. If it is a company with three or more home appliance technologies, then the upper limit of the acquisition funds is 2 million U.S. dollars."

"We will also evaluate the acquired companies and technologies. The lower the acquisition price, the higher the commission Goldman Sachs will get. I think Thomas knows this even if I don't need to explain it specifically."

After selling long gold futures, Lin Baicheng has a lot of funds, and the home appliance company reappears in Lin Baicheng's heart.

"Of course, we will talk about the specific commission later."

The less expensive a client is to acquire, the higher the Goldman Sachs commission, as it should be, and Wade Thomas certainly has no problem with it.

"Alan, I want to ask, do you accept shares in listed companies?"

Before Lin Baicheng could answer, Wade Thomas added: "If you hold more than 50% of the shares, you will still control the company."

"Forget about being a listed company, it's either a home appliance company that I hold 100% of, or I can acquire technology and start another company myself."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. As long as the company is not a 100% holding company, even if it becomes a major shareholder of the company, there will be problems of one kind or another. Lin Baicheng is not prepared to have a power struggle with other shareholders, that would be too troublesome.

"Ok."

Wade Thomas was not reluctant to hear the words, and asked again: "Allen, besides the ones you proposed, are there any other conditions?"

"Other conditions, it should be time."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said, "The time for the acquisition, I think it should be completed before the arrival of 79?"

"There are still more than two months. Of course, there is no problem. Allen, you have to believe in the strength of Goldman Sachs."

Wade Thomas immediately said that this is not the acquisition of a technology-sensitive company, and the official will not have any obstacles. If Goldman Sachs can't figure it out in more than two months, then the efficiency will be too poor.

"Of course I believe in the strength of Goldman Sachs, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted you Goldman Sachs."

Lin Baicheng smiled, and then said: "In addition to the commission just now, I also want to commission Goldman Sachs to acquire advanced wafer manufacturing and packaging and testing factories, as well as memory chip production lines."

As a person reborn 50 years later, Lin Baicheng certainly knows the importance of semiconductor technology.If you have money, of course you must master the corresponding technology, and then invest in continuous development to catch up with the world's highest technological level, and even develop into the world's most advanced technology.

"If it's just related technology, it's easy, but Alan, if you want advanced technology, it's a little difficult."

Now is not the 21st century, semiconductor technology is not impossible to sell, so Wade Thomas did not immediately refuse, he was embarrassed that advanced technology is not so easy to acquire, after all, advanced technology is usually the most important asset of a company.

"If it's just a general technology, I can just spend a few million dollars to pull up a wafer production line, so why do you ask Goldman Sachs? Thomas, don't you think so?"

Lin Baicheng asked Isabella to check the relevant technologies on the market, knowing that it is not difficult to pull up a wafer production line in this era, and it can be done with a few million dollars, but the technology of such a wafer production line is not very advanced. , The yield rate is not high.

It is not difficult to build a wafer production line, but what is difficult is the continuous wafer manufacturing in the future, that is the gold-swallowing behemoth.However, if a production line is built but a large number of wafers are not manufactured, then the technology cannot be improved, and if the technology cannot be improved, it will be eliminated sooner or later, and the establishment of the production line will be meaningless.

That is to say, to build a wafer production line, one must have the psychological preparation to continuously manufacture wafers.If the yield rate is not high, or if you don’t find a good chip manufacturer, just wait for continuous loss of money.

"Since you said so, Allen, we will try our best."

Lin Baicheng said so, what else could Wade Thomas say, so he had to agree, but after he agreed, he said: "Alan, if you want advanced technology, you must be mentally prepared to be slaughtered. In addition , whether you can acquire advanced technology, I can't give you a guarantee here, I can only say that I will do my best."

"I will let Isabella and Bill follow up with Goldman Sachs' acquisition, as long as the price does not exceed my bottom line, then I can accept it."

"Thomas, I entrust you Goldman Sachs because I believe in your strength. No matter what the reason is, if you can't complete my entrustment, then I will doubt the strength of your Goldman Sachs."

Lin Baicheng said lightly, putting pressure on Wade Thomas.

"Alan, don't worry, Goldman Sachs' strength will not let you down."

Wade Thomas solemnly said that this is related to the reputation of Goldman Sachs, and whether the big client in front of him can be retained, and whether he will continue to cooperate with Goldman Sachs in the future. It may be that Goldman Sachs really needs to work hard this time.

"As long as Goldman Sachs has that strength, the commission I give will not disappoint Goldman Sachs."

For semiconductor technology, Lin Baicheng does not mind paying a higher price and giving Goldman Sachs more commissions.

With the emergence of personal computers and mobile phones, semiconductor technology will only become more and more important, and related technologies will become more and more expensive. The sooner you get related technologies, the lower the price you pay.

After the entrustment is given, Lin Baicheng will not be involved in the negotiation of the commission. Isabella and Bill will form a team to negotiate with Goldman Sachs.Moreover, they will also follow up on the acquisition of home appliance technology and semiconductor technology. Lin Baicheng is very concerned about this acquisition.
