Chapter 408 The Water Is Deep Here

As early as August, ZF has promulgated new regulations.

All production items such as satellite TV receivers and key components, mobile communication systems and terminals must be approved by relevant competent authorities.

As soon as the mobile phone approval system was opened, the logic of waiting until the flowers are all withered, they will run non-stop to determine the project of the department.

Finally, at the beginning of December, the list of the first batch of temporary licenses for mobile phone production was announced, and the logic was clearly on the list.

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a large conference room in the government building.

Including Lu Fei, a total of 4 companies received the license plate from the minister, and five people stood in a row. When the bursts of applause and the sound of taking pictures stopped abruptly, the awarding ceremony came to an end.

"Mr. Lu, now we can justify the machine."

Sun Hongjun said excitedly while walking in the corridor.

"Yeah, the next thing to fight is strength."

Lu Fei is not without emotion, the mobile phone market these years is simply a chaotic battle between black and white, with demons dancing wildly.

Not counting foreign brands such as Motorola and Nokia, there are 85 licensed companies in China alone, and counterfeit mobile phones without licenses are even more rampant in the market.

If you invest one or two million at will, any cat or dog can do it.

Don't think that you can sit back and relax with a license. Sometimes the value is higher than a piece of paper, and you still rely on yourself.

Just as the two walked to the elevator entrance and waited patiently, they heard someone whispering around them, and the voice was not light.

"A big event happened today. Lianxiang just announced the formal acquisition of IBM's Personal Computer Division (PCD)."

"Hiss, is it true or false? It was always said to be a rumor before, and it has been rumored for almost a year without even a shadow. Why did it suddenly become a rumor?"

"Lianxiang hides it so deeply, it's nothing but a blockbuster, darling, it cost a full 12.5 billion dollars!"

"To be honest, Lianxiang is proud of this acquisition, proud of it!"

"Amazing, my Lianxiang."

"..."

Sun Hongjun gradually recovered from his astonishment, sighed and said:
"As expected of Lianxiang, they actually managed to swallow elephants like snakes. It will be even more difficult for Shenzhou to catch up."

As he spoke, he saw Lu Fei's calm and relaxed face, and even a smirk at the corner of his mouth, both surprised and suspicious:

"Mr. Lu, what are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"I laugh at Yang Yuanqing for his lack of strategy, and Liu Chuanzhi's lack of wisdom. Goldman Sachs would jump into such an obvious situation foolishly."

Lu Fei gave up the elevator he had already arrived, and sat watching the crowds at the elevator entrance, leaving only Logic and his own people.

"Bureau? Mr. Lu, do you think there is fraud in it?"

Sun Hongjun was taken aback. The acquisition of a former foreign giant by a domestic IT giant was simply the pinnacle moment of China's manufacturing industry. It is worthy of a special book and recorded in history.

It should be a milestone, how could it be a milestone?

Lu Fei smiled and said, "What is the price of Lianxiang's acquisition?"

"US$6.5 million in cash and US$6 million worth of stocks, which is about 18.5% of Lianxiang's shares."

Sun Hongjun said without hesitation: "We still have to bear the debt of 5 million US dollars left by PCD, but there are gains and losses, not to mention IBM's PC patents, only a global distribution network, how many international detours can be avoided."

"If that's the case, how can this PC department continue to lose money and have a debt of 5 million?"

Lu Fei shook his head and laughed. Even if he wanted to forget Lianxiang's dark history, he would never forget it. In his previous life, there would be popular science from the media.

In fact, Lianxiang spent 17.5 billion US dollars to buy only an empty shell, and the patented technology has long been transferred by IBM.

What's even more funny is that Goldman Sachs, whom Lianxiang hired to help with the merger, is openly warm-hearted, but secretly steals money from men and women.

"President Lu, what does Goldman Sachs mean by colluding with IBM, recruiting other capital as actors, deliberately driving up the M&A price, and making Lianxiang pay an extra $5 million?"

Sun Hongjun was stunned: "Why would Goldman Sachs do this!"

"The reason is very simple. What is Goldman Sachs playing? It's a broker, and the fee is naturally a commission from the final transaction price. The higher the price, the greater the commission."

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes into a line: "Of course, what Goldman Sachs wants is more than just money."

"What else?"

Sun Hongjun swallowed his saliva, and his forehead couldn't help sweating.

Lu Fei asked: "You say that Lianxiang is a snake swallowing an elephant. Do you think Lianxiang can come up with 5 million U.S. dollars with its current wealth?"

Sun Hongjun shook his head again and again. As a strong rival of Shenzhou Computer, researching annual reports and financial reports is the most basic foundation. Lianxiang can spend up to 3 million U.S. dollars, and it is also carrying 7 million RMB of non-performing assets of the Bank of China.

5 million U.S. dollars is simply impossible.

"If you can't take it out, what should you do?"

Lu Fei smiled and said, "I can only borrow, so who should I borrow?"

"Goldman Sachs!"

Sun Hongjun suddenly realized, and even drew inferences from one instance.

Goldman Sachs first raised the price, forcing Lianxiang to buy it at a high price, and then united with three or four PEs to borrow money hypocritically, and then infiltrated the board of directors without any effort.

Coupled with the major shareholder IBM, it is enough to control the control of Lianxiang, at least to dominate overseas business, it is not a problem at all.

The key point is that Lianxiang's acquisition of PCD originally planned to go out of China and go to the world, but in the end, it was still tightly controlled by Goldman Sachs and IBM overseas.

After spending so much money, not to mention the busy work, I have a whole body of debts, and I have a few more foreign fathers!
"It's a Trojan horse."

Lu Fei stroked his forehead and shook his head. Goldman Sachs tried this trick time and again.

Domestic companies such as TCL, Geely, etc., have all been tricked by acquisitions. Lianxiang also started from falling into this pit, and gradually became Meidi's conscience.

Sun Hongjun felt a chill down his spine, and his heart felt chilled from top to bottom:
"No wonder Goldman Sachs tried every means to get us involved. How sinister is his heart! His heart is terrible!"

"So we can't let Goldman Sachs get hurt."

Lu Feiyu patted him on the shoulder earnestly.

"Lu, Mr. Lu, is Goldman Sachs' 'Trojan horse' plan impossible to crack? Is there any help for Lianxiang?"

Sun Hongjun gritted his teeth: "This is the number one computer company in China, so it's just..."

"If you can't be saved, it's best not to be saved."

Lu Fei shrugged his shoulders. The influence of Lianxiang is not as terrifying as imagined. It is based on trade, industry and technology, which is of no use to the development of the semiconductor industry.

On the contrary, the huge loss overseas has to be supplemented domestically. Without Lianxiang, Lianxiang's greatest contribution is.

"I understand, Mr. Lu."

Sun Hongjun understood that Lenovo's sinking into the quagmire was equivalent to giving Shenzhou a chance to counterattack and surpass, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Remember to tell Wu Haijun that academician Ni Guangnan should be invited to Shenzhou no matter how often he visits the thatched cottage."

Lu Fei felt helpless, and logically concentrated on conquering mobile phones right now, without extra funds, and spent money on computers.

Sun Hongjun felt the same way, and sighed heavily.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind the two:

"Hey, Mr. Lu, Mr. Sun, what's the matter with you two, are you sighing?"

"Oh, Mr. Chang of Telecom."

Sun Hongjun turned his head and saw that the person who came was the vice president of China Telecom, Chang Bing, who hurriedly introduced him to Lu Fei.

"Hehe, I'm not in Telecom anymore."

Chang Bing laughed at himself, then let out a long sigh.

Lu Fei asked curiously, "Isn't in Telecom, could it be that Mr. Chang has been promoted?"

"Yes, Gao Sheng, hehe, Gao Sheng has become the chairman of China Unicom!"

Chang Bing almost wanted to die.

China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile are the most fierce rivals among the seven telecommunications companies, and various vicious competition incidents are frequent. Finally, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can't stand it anymore, and directly issued an order to change the heads of the three major operators.

"Hiss, that's a great trick!"

Lu Fei gave a thumbs up, amazed.

The heads of each family were transferred to the opposite family, and they were embarrassed to be cruel to the old club. Even if they were so cruel, wouldn't it be embarrassing if there was another switch?

From the root, vicious competition has been stopped.

"What's so wonderful, Mr. Lu, you have made me miserable. My good telecom vice president can't take over the telecom shift normally."

Chang Bing smiled wryly: "In the end, I took over the mess of China Unicom, no, this mess is also your fault, Mr. Lu, no matter what, you have to advise me."

Lu Fei's eyes widened, how could it be my fault?
　oo Next beat Meidi conscience thought.
