Siheyuan starts from the stationmaster

Andy Hopper said: "Mr. Bai, I think you have great vision!"

Bai Zirui smiled and said, "Mr. Hopper, thank you for your compliment. I see that you are dressed up, did you fly a plane just now?"

Andy Hopper replied: "Yes, I am a flying enthusiast, and I just went to take a propeller-driven training course."

Andy Hopper's conversation is very humorous and has a strong social disorder. He said as if offering a treasure: "Mr. Bai, let me show you a cool technology of our company."

After he finished speaking, he came to the computer. Hermann Hauser was accustomed to Hopper's behavior, and Bai Zirui approached curiously, and it really was LAN technology.

Andy Hopper personally demonstrated to Bai Zirui the various functions of the Eet network he designed for Acorn.The internal network of the company makes the communication between R&D technicians more convenient and can effectively improve work efficiency.

The function of this Eet seems to be more complicated than the local area network technology on the Acorn computer. It can be seen that Andy Hopper has more in-depth research on the local area network and is more interested in it.

Bai Zirui exchanged with him many topics about LAN, such as Token Ring and ARET, two very popular non-public network standards in the industry, and the famous Ethernet technology in later generations.

Hopper talked about the reasons for his development of LAN, saying: "The reason why I invented the CambridgeRing network system when I was a PhD student was actually influenced by Mr. Mecalfe. Distributed Packet Switching Technology for Computer Networks" has given me a lot of inspiration."

Hopper pointed to Hermann Hauser next to him and said, "Mr. Bai, do you know why Herman hired me to Acorn?"

Bai Zirui shook his head and said he didn't know, and he continued: "At first I thought he was interested in my technology, and he was very happy to come to Acorn to work, but unexpectedly, Herman let me Become a sales manager."

Hopper looked at Hermann Hauser with contempt and said: "The first thing this guy asked me to do was to go to the computer laboratory in Cambridge and sell System1 to my tutors and colleagues!

Do you know how embarrassed I was?Even though it is such a crude thing, I still have to brag about how excellent its functions are!I was so embarrassed that I wished there was a hole in the ground that I could get into. "

Bai Zirui could tell that although Hopper had been hurting Hermann Hauser, the relationship between the two of them was very good.Both of them are men of science and technology, and they can hardly stop talking about professional knowledge.

Relying on the knowledge about programming that he learned in later generations, Bai Zirui was able to discuss technology with the two with ease, and even some viewpoints made them feel fresh and new.

The two knew that Bai Zirui came here today not to discuss technology with them, but to communicate with them about the acquisition of the company.Hermann Hauser asked: "Mr. Bai, we know the purpose of your trip, and we don't exclude you from acquiring Acorn. What we want to know is, after Acorn was acquired by you , how will you plan the future development of Acorn?"

Bai Zirui said eloquently: "Herman, Andy, I know that you and another partner, Chris Curry, have different opinions on the company's development path. I think your ideas are correct, but It's just because Acorn is short of money."

After Dingtian Company acquires Acorn, it will first invest enough funds to support your research and development.Dingtian will fully support Mr. Curry in continuing to develop the Acorn computer, and you can also continue the research of computer systems.Not only that, but you need to continue to recruit talents. Dingtian Company will build your team into a software research and development department. "

After hearing Bai Zirui's words, Herman Hauser and Andy Hopper couldn't help being full of surprise and joy.As Bai Zirui said, the biggest problem for the development of Acorn is lack of funds.

In fact, even if Bai Zirui didn't come to buy Acorn, they decided to find an investor.But the conditions offered by other investors will definitely not be as generous as those offered by Dingtian Company.

More importantly, Bai Zirui understands technology and can understand the value of what they want to develop.Bai Zirui's communication with them today made them more approving of Dingtian Company's acquisition of Acorn Company.

The two asked about the research and development plan of Dingtian Company, and Bai Zirui answered them one by one with reservations.His communication with Hermann Hauser and Andy Hopper was relaxed and pleasant, and it was obvious that they did not reject or even welcome the acquisition of Acorn by Dingtian Company.

Hermann Hauser said: "Mr. Bai, I think Dingtian Company is a company with great technical strength and fits well with our philosophy, so we have no objection to being acquired, but Acorn Company is after all It's not just the two of us, we'll have to discuss it with Chris again."

Bai Zirui said: "I understand! To be honest, I communicated with Mr. Curry yesterday, and he was very repulsive about the acquisition at first. After our pleasant exchange, his attitude softened.

He has to think again about the Acorn company. I think you can have a frank talk with him, or help persuade him.Our company has sufficient funds and the pursuit of technology, and Acorn has the ability and technology. The acquisition can be said to be a win-win situation for both of us. "

Hermann Hauser nodded and said, "Okay! We'll have a good talk with Chris."

On the way back to the hotel by car, Wang Huageng said, "Bai Sheng, we have already secured the acquisition of Acorn."

Bai Zirui said: "Hua Geng, you can't take it lightly until you sign the purchase contract at the end. Although Chris Curry has softened his attitude, no one knows if there will be any accidents."

Although Bai Zirui said this, his face was covered with tears. In his heart, Acorn Company was already owned by Dingtian Company.

After Chris Curry's attitude softened, there was no surprise in Acorn's acquisition, and Acorn sent Bai Zirui a negotiation invitation on the third day.Bai Zirui made preparations a long time ago, and immediately rushed to Acorn Company with Wang Huageng after receiving the invitation.

Bai Zirui came to Acorn Company again, and the three partners of Acorn Company appeared in Hermann Hauser's office in suits and shoes at the same time.

It is obvious that it is different from the casualness of seeing them before. Today's negotiations are much more formal. The acquisition negotiations involve their vital interests. Although the three of them are men of science and technology, it does not mean that they know nothing about business negotiations, otherwise I will not set up a company and be my own boss.
