Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 117 A Rare Opportunity (more than 4000 words, please subscribe)
About a week later, Rex Eden, Fujio Masuoka and others came to Shanghai.

Zhao Ye took people from Godson Design Company to the airport to pick him up in person to show his importance.

Toshiba doesn't know the value of NAND, how can Zhao Ye not know?

Not to mention the value of NAND flash memory itself, just using it to develop products can have an advantage over other competitors, such as developing U disks, digital cameras, mobile phones, game consoles, etc. The data storage capacity of flash memory far exceeds that of other competitors. other storage media.

Near noon, Rex Eden and Fujio Masuoka walked out of the airport.

Zhao Ye waved hello to them as he walked towards them.

"Rex, thank you for your hard work!"

"Also, Mr. Fujio Masuoka, welcome to join the Wujiang Group. I believe that you will be able to show your talents to the fullest in Wujiang!!!"

Zhao Ye shook hands with Rex Eden and Fujio Masuoka respectively.

Rex Eden smiled and said "no hard work".

Fujio Masuoka was a little moved when he saw Zhao Ye being so enthusiastic about him. After all, he had been neglected in Toshiba for a long time. As long as someone gave him a little warmth, he would be very moved.

"Let's get in the car first, and go back to welcome Masuoka Fujio and others!" Zhao Ye greeted, and then took the lead to walk outside.

At this time, many people at the airport had noticed Zhao Ye's side.

Some people recognized Zhao Ye, and they immediately showed surprise, ready to come over and watch.

This is a living Zhao Ye~
Zhao Ye hurriedly led the crowd away, got into the car, and drove away.

In the evening, Zhao Ye greeted Masuoka Fujio and others at the Old Capital Hotel. On the wine table, the guests and host enjoyed themselves, needless to say.

On the second day, eight members of the NAND design team, including Fujio Masuoka, officially joined Godson Design Company.

Zhao Ye transferred [-] employees to join the NAND flash memory development department to learn from Masuoka Fujio and others.

NAND flash memory still has defects and needs to be further improved.

In the previous life, Masuoka Fujio and others successfully perfected Toshiba in 1989 when Toshiba was not popular and lacked research and development funds, which greatly reduced the cost per bit, had higher performance, and was like a disk. Can be easily upgraded through the interface.

In this life, the development of NAND flash memory technology will inevitably be much faster.

Wujiang Group's third-generation game console can use NAND flash memory cards to replace CDs.

For the second generation of game consoles, NAND flash memory technology should not be mature yet, and when applied to game cards, the storage capacity is not as good as that of CDs.

In Zhao Ye's vision, the second-generation game console should be 16-bit, and it is planned to be released in 1988.

The third generation of the game was 32-bit and was released in 1993.

In the previous life, it seemed that the world's first 32-bit game console was released in 1993. Zhao Ye didn't let his competitors have the slightest chance to surpass him!

In terms of memory chips, with Fujio Masuoka and others joining Loongson Design Company, Zhao Ye no longer needs to worry about flash memory, but memory development still has a long way to go.

While Zhao Ye is busy developing EDA, he also leads everyone to develop DRAM memory.

The importance of DRAM memory is self-evident.

In mobile phone applications, the role of DRAM is to provide data storage space for AP processing operations; in servers and personal computers, DRAM provides data temporary storage space for CPU operations.

Of course, in game console applications, DRAM also plays the same role.

Therefore, Zhao Ye now focuses on DRAM memory and spends most of the day in the laboratory.

Secretary Liu Yinyin had something important to ask him, so she had to make a special trip to the laboratory.

"Boss, this is important news from Wujiang Group (Hong Kong Branch). Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered Bank is unwilling to be acquired, so it is seeking help from the outside world. Wujiang Group (Hong Kong Branch) Zhou Anping, general manager of the company, believes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wujiang Group to acquire Standard Chartered Bank... Standard Chartered Bank is a large bank in Hong Kong that has the right to issue banknotes. It has a large scale and a business network all over the world. For the group, having such a large bank is very useful.”

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He also wants to buy a bank, but he doesn't like small banks.

Standard Chartered Bank is quite suitable. Although it is large in scale, it is not too big for Wujiang Group to acquire.

Zhao Ye vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Lloyds Bank made a hostile takeover of Standard Chartered Bank, but was repelled by Qiu Depu, Hong Kong shipping magnate Yu-Kang Pao, and Australian businessman Robert at a price of 13 billion pounds. The three successfully bought Standard Chartered Bank3 % of shares.

In 1986, the exchange rate between the British pound and the US dollar was 1:1.4.

£13 billion, or $18.2 billion.

Wujiang Group alone can win 37% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

The question now is, will the other three get involved as they did in their previous lives?
If the four share it, Wujiang Group will not get much shares.

Zhao Ye was a little confused at this moment.

Standard Chartered Bank is a sweet pastry, and no one would want to take a bite.

I can't stop Qiu Deba, Bao Yugang and Australian businessman Robert from taking the shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

However, these people sold their shares in the end, and they can take the opportunity to take over.

Qiu Degen was involved in a fraudulent account lawsuit in 1988 and had to sell ATV. If he added fire to force him to sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, it seemed possible.

Standard Chartered Bank's equity is scattered, even if it is 13.5%, it is already the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank.

If you can control 37% of the equity, or even more, you can already control the control of Standard Chartered Bank.With the right to control, if you want to increase your shareholding, there are many means.

It seems that this time is really an opportunity to acquire Standard Chartered Bank.

Zhao Ye smiled, and said to his secretary Liu Yinyin: "Let Zhou Anping contact the management of Standard Chartered Bank, and say that Wujiang Group is willing to buy shares in Standard Chartered Bank, so as to help Standard Chartered Bank repel the hostile takeover by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom! That's right. , This time, tell Zhou Anping that he must buy as many shares of Standard Chartered Bank as possible."

"Ok!"

After Zhao Ye finished his explanation, he thought about it and turned around to continue developing DRAM.

No matter how many shares of Standard Chartered Bank you can buy this time, you will not lose money anyway, and the market value of Standard Chartered Bank has been growing.

If the Standard Chartered Bank cannot be acquired in the end, it is a big deal to set up a bank by itself, and then develop slowly.In this way, Wujiang Group can still hold 100% of the shares in the early stage of the bank's development. Even if the bank gives up part of the shares for expansion in the future, it still holds the majority and can firmly control the bank.

……

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Qiu Degen suddenly went to visit Bao Yugang's house.

Qiu Degen himself was the founder of the Far East Bank. He was particularly sensitive to the hostile takeover of Standard Chartered Bank by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom. Big shareholder!

However, he alone was not strong enough to defeat the British Lloyds Bank.

So I thought of Hong Kong's well-known charter king and joined forces with him.

"Boss Qiu visited late at night, what's the point?" Bao Yugang asked with a smile.

Qiu Degen said straight to the point: "Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom hostilely acquired Standard Chartered Bank. The charter king must have heard of it? I plan to join hands with the charter king to help Standard Chartered Bank defeat Lloyds Bank. At the same time, by taking advantage of this opportunity, we can also buy a large amount of shares in Standard Chartered Bank and become the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank! Even if Mr. Bao doesn’t want to hold shares in Standard Chartered Bank for a long time, he can sell the shares slowly afterwards, so as to make a lot of money !"

After Bao Yugang heard this, he thought for a while, then smiled and said to Qiu Degen: "Boss Qiu, your idea is really good, I am a little moved. I wonder how much money we need to prepare to defeat Lloyds Bank?"

Qiu Degen replied: "It needs about 15 billion pounds."

"15 billion pounds is not a small amount of money! The risk is a bit big!" Bao Yugang frowned, but he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart, whether it was worth the risk.

Qiu Degen continued: "I have already contacted the Australian businessman Robert, and he is also interested in participating. If the three of us work together and have strong financial resources, we can definitely help Standard Chartered Bank beat Lloyds Bank!"

When Bao Yugang heard this, he smiled, "Boss Qiu is so thoughtful, and even contacted more people. It seems that he has a chance to win. There is no reason for Bao not to participate!"

Qiu Degen said with a smile: "With the participation of the charter king, this time it must be a sure chance to win!!! Recalling that a few years ago, the charter king raised 21 billion Hong Kong dollars to win Wharf in three days. Makes people talk about it!"

"Haha, Boss Qiu laughed at me. The past is too bad to look back..." Bao Yugang smiled modestly, waved his hand, and said, "To count the most romantic people, let's look at the present. If you want to say that the most beautiful now, the most eye-catching thing is The one from the mainland!"

"You mean Zhao Ye?!"

"Haha, Boss Qiu has also heard about this person?"

"How come I haven't heard of it?!" Qiu Degen exclaimed, "It is said that many economic magazines or professional evaluation agencies believe that Zhao Ye will be the richest Chinese man in the world this year! Speaking of which, I even asked someone to investigate it. No investigation Fortunately, after a survey, I was stunned. He is only 22 years old now, and Wujiang Group’s revenue last year was close to 50 billion yuan. This year, the "Qingqi Home Game Console" landed in Japan and directly created hundreds of billions in a few weeks. The income in yen is simply unbelievable and unbelievable! "

When Bao Yugang heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded, expressing his agreement.

"Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years! Our glorious era has passed!" Bao Yugang sighed.

Qiu Degen shook his head and said: "Charter King, you are too modest. You are now in the prime of life, and your business is booming. Last year, you spent 26 billion Hong Kong dollars to finally acquire Wheelock, one of the four major foreign companies, which surprised the whole of Hong Kong! How many people can compare to such a feat?"

The two old men boasted about business and chatted with each other, which was not awkward at all.

……

The next morning, after receiving Zhao Ye's instructions, Zhou Anping immediately contacted Mason Kemp, the head of the Standard Chartered Bank, and the two met at the Peninsula Hotel at noon.

Around 11:40, Zhou Anping came to the private room of the hotel that had been booked in advance.

After waiting for a while, Mason Kemp knocked on the door and entered.

"Mr. Mason Kemp, hello!"

"Mr. Zhou Anping, hello!"

The two shook hands and greeted each other.

After the waiter served the food, Zhou Anping said bluntly: "The hostile acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom is a critical situation for Standard Chartered Bank. If there is no external help, it may be difficult to overcome this crisis. I am afraid that the original management of the company will be washed out by Lloyds Bank, including the position of Mr. Mason Kemp..."

Mason Kemp frowned slightly when he heard the words. Zhou Anping obviously hit the nail on the head. He was afraid of losing his position as the head of the Standard Chartered Bank...

Zhou Anping noticed Mason Kemp's expression, and chased after the victory: "Wujiang Group can buy shares in Standard Chartered Bank and help Standard Chartered Bank beat Lloyds Bank of England."

After a pause, Zhou Anping changed the subject, looked at Mason Kemp and said, "When Mr. Mason Kemp was the head of Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Chartered Bank developed rapidly. If Wujiang Group can become the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, then it will definitely Continue to support Mr. Mason Kemp as the head class of Standard Chartered Bank, after all, there are not many excellent heads like Mr. Mason Kemp in the world!"

Mason Kemp was a little embarrassed when he was praised, and he waved his hand and said, "If you are over-reputed, don't dare to take it. There is a saying in China that 'in the position, seek the government', I just do my duty as a bank executive That's all."

"Well, what Mr. Mason Kemp said is very reasonable, 'in his position, in his position', it's as simple as that, but there are too many people in this world who are vegetarians. If Standard Chartered Bank falls into the hands of these vegetarians, Definitely going down. Don't you think, Mr. Mason Kemp?"

"That's right, that's right! So, if Wujiang Group can become the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, I would welcome it! With the help of Wujiang Group, Standard Chartered Bank will definitely be able to defeat Lloyds Bank of England!" Mason Kemp nodded.

"Then thank you Mr. Mason Kemp. At that time, when our Wujiang Group is ready to buy the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, we hope to get some help from Taipan!"

"Haha, no problem!" Mason Camp assured with a big laugh, patting his chest.

Seeing that the dishes were getting cold, Zhou Anping signaled Mason Kemp to eat.

Immediately, in the private room of the hotel, it was very joyful to pass the cups around.

……

That afternoon, Mason Kemp, who was a little drunk, returned to Standard Chartered Bank, called a meeting with the management, and talked about the plan of Wujiang Group to take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank.

"Currently, Wujiang Group is enjoying the same moment. If Wujiang Group can be introduced to become a shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, it will undoubtedly be a huge piece of good news for Standard Chartered Bank, and it will definitely seriously hinder the hostile takeover of Lloyds Bank of England! "

When all the executives heard this, they all nodded.

"Since everyone agrees, let's persuade the shareholders' meeting to agree to issue additional shares to Wujiang Group!" Mason Kemp said again.

The decision of the management of Standard Chartered Bank will be seriously considered by all major shareholders.

The current situation is very unfavorable to Standard Chartered Bank. The introduction of such a powerful strategic investor as Wujiang Group will undoubtedly have more advantages than disadvantages.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door, and immediately, a beautiful OL woman walked in.

Mason Kemp looked at her and asked, "I'm in a meeting now, is there anything urgent?"

"Yes, Taipan. Right now, Qiu Degen of the Far East Bank, Hong Kong shipping tycoon Pao Yu-kang, and Macau businessman Robert have come to Standard Chartered Bank together, saying that they want to help Standard Chartered Bank repel the hostile takeover of Lloyds Bank of England!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience immediately talked about it.

Originally, Standard Chartered Bank faced a hostile takeover by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom and was already in jeopardy.

Unexpectedly, there was a turn of events. Before that, Wujiang Group wanted to take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, and later Qiu Degen, the charter king, and Macau businessman Robert also wanted to take a stake in Standard Chartered Bank...

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, what should I do about this?
