Chapter 964: Too expensive? Then make it more expensive

The next day, after finishing the inspection in Guizhou Province, Qing Yun took Xiao Ya and Zhang Li to Fujian, Pengcheng, Yangcheng and other places without stopping to complete the final signing ceremony of this round of mergers and acquisitions.

Wherever he went, Qingyun communicated fully and sincerely with the local authorities.

At this time, Yanhuang Group's nationwide planning showed great strategic foresight. Each place had a clear layout and medium- and long-term development plan in line with local resource endowments.

After Yanhuang Group promised not to move the acquired entity out of the local area and to carry out a certain scale of renovation and expansion on the original basis, the local government saw stability and development potential.

The local authorities also cooperated very well in completing the industrial and commercial changes and the resettlement of state-owned employees.

During this process, Qing Yun also made a cursory inspection of the relevant branches and subsidiaries.

Although there were some troublemakers, with Qing Yun's strong suppression and local cooperation, no major waves were caused.

The original supply chain of the acquired entity was not substantially affected.

Yanhuang Group gave them technical standards, and once the quality indicators met they would be incorporated into the Yanhuang Group supply chain, which gave them the opportunity to improve.

It is normal to complain, after all, Yanhuang Group's technological standards are much higher than those of its peers.

But they also knew very well that if they gave up their status as suppliers of the Yanhuang Group, they could change their careers.

Because there are not many brands left, and now everyone can see the general trend clearly.

What the Yanhuang Xiaoqing wants to do is to become a giant.

Something that no one expected, but was also reasonable, happened next: the entire supply chain began to integrate spontaneously.

Everyone can see that there is no future for small-workshop-style development in this industry, and only economies of scale can match the size of a giant like the Yanhuang Group.

Staff reduction is inevitable.

However, what made those who had disloyalty in the acquired entities helpless was that Qing Yun was very cunning and only targeted the middle and senior leaders, but did not take any major actions on the grassroots employees.

All grassroots employees who can be accommodated will be accommodated, and those who want to leave will not be interfered with.

This reduced employees' anxiety and resistance, reduced the impact on society and within businesses, and made local governments feel relieved.

What they fear most is that the Yanhuang Group will lay off redundant employees all at once.

After all, in everyone's opinion, the merger of so many companies, coupled with large-scale production, will inevitably lead to a lot of duplication in positions.

But what no one expected was that Qing Yun actually retained all the grassroots employees.

Combined with the high welfare and high performance policy of Yanhuang Group, Qing Yun received great support at the grassroots level.

Emperor Yun could only laugh at this.

He has so much to do, how could he lay off employees?

People who are wealthy enough to assemble computers can also assemble mobile phones and MP3s.

Song Ruhua cursed and complained, this was just his historical script, perfectly avoiding the mistakes he had made before.

Qingyun's approach of not only focusing on the short-term benefits of mergers and acquisitions but also having long-term development plans and integrating resources through mergers and acquisitions to enhance corporate competitiveness and create greater value for all stakeholders has also won unanimous praise from both the political and business circles.

Development and making small money are the bottom line.

……

Qing Yun stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel with an expressionless face, his eyes piercing through the night sky, staring at the dark clouds in the sky.

A voice came from the TV behind me:
"Our station reports that my country's Huawei Company and America's 3Com Company have officially established a joint venture today, Huawei 3Com Company.

According to the analysis of the sources, this move by Huawei intends to join hands with 3Com to launch a fierce offensive against Cisco in the American market, in order to force Cisco to return to the negotiation table..."

A complex emotion flashed in Qing Yun's eyes. He knew that this battle was far more complicated than it seemed.

He lit a cigarette but didn't smoke it, letting it burn between his fingers.

The timeline did not change because of him, the butterfly, and what was supposed to happen still happened.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Facing Cisco's patent lawsuit, Huawei teamed up with Cisco's arch-rival 3Com. 3Com also proved in court that Huawei did not infringe on the rights of others and helped it escape the lawsuit.

This seems to be a brilliant move, and at this point in time, Qing Yun may be the only one in the world who can understand the core point. Mr. Ren is preparing to sell Hua Wei to MotorMule in the future.

He has been in Pengcheng these days and was planning to visit the old man today.

Emperor Yun, who was well aware of the course of time, was trying to change something.

However, the old man refused his request for a meeting on the grounds that he had to receive foreign guests.

Foreign guests...

Let’s pull it with a motorcycle mule!
Although he was filled with resentment towards the old man for refusing to meet him, Emperor Yun also understood the old man's thoughts.

No one can be right all the time.

The old man's greatness lies in the fact that after recognizing the face of the enemy and the current situation, he dared to use his remaining body to welcome the glorious years and embrace freedom in the wind and rain.

And now... it is the process of Mr. Ren coming to his senses.

In fact, because of the double blow to his body and mind, 2002-2004 were the darkest and most vulnerable three years that Mr. Ren had ever experienced. Even during these three years, in his own words many years later, he was a capitulator.

At this time, the old man was ready to sell Hua Wei and quit his job.

Because he is 60 years old this year.

At this age, no one would question if he retired and enjoyed his grandchildren.

Of course, the development of events in the previous life made the old man give up the idea.

Later, the new president of Motorola thought that the acquisition of Huawei for US$75 billion was not cost-effective and canceled the transaction.

The old man once wanted to sell it at a discount in exchange for the motorcycle Mule and sit back at the negotiation table, but he changed his mind after the strong persuasion of the new generation of young people of Huawei.

However, unlike the young men who are full of vigor and vitality, the old man said that we must prepare for war.

Therefore, since 2003, Huawei has set up backup plans for all its products and technologies.

At one point, insiders believed that the old man was suffering from paranoid delusions.

However, it turns out that Jiang...

Damn, the old ones are still the best!
Qingyun turned and walked to the desk, opened his laptop, and the screen displayed news about the joint venture between Huawei and 3Com.

He took a deep breath and put out the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, but the frown between his brows became more obvious.

At this point, he was a little hesitant.

Although events were proceeding according to the timeline of his previous life, he didn't know whether there would be any changes.

There is no guarantee.

He has changed too much history and the fate of too many people.

With such a large number of issues affecting the entire body, will the new president of Motorcycle Mule suddenly have a brain storm and sign the transaction contract directly?
If Hua Wei is sold, the result will be disastrous.

It’s not about how awesome Huawei’s assets are, or how awesome the people inside it are.

This is because Huawei has been deeply rooted in the country for more than ten years. Once the intellectual property rights it has formed are sold, the patent barriers that others will have to deal with if they want to start over will be too terrifying.

Emperor Yun didn't dare to gamble, let alone wait for the timeline to be completed automatically.

It would be so irresponsible to do that.

He took out his phone, turned to the phone book and saw Qin Tianchuan's name. He dialed the number without any hesitation.

"Dad, help me pass a message to Mr. Ren of Hua Wei that Yanhuang Group will invest 120 billion US dollars to acquire Hua Wei. Then, I need this news to be made public in the media."

Since the motorcycle is too expensive?

Then make Huawei more expensive.

As for whether he has 120 billion US dollars...

At this point, a syndicated loan can definitely solve part of the problem, and stock swap between the two parties is also a solution.

Is Hua Wei, which is not listed and has opaque financials, worth US$120 billion?

This question is just like the question of how much the Yanhuang Group is worth.

The appraisal value has always been a very mysterious amount, and there will be plenty of ways to deal with it when the time comes.

I hope I can scare the motorcycle mule away.

It doesn't matter if you're not scared off.

Even more so, if Motomula was determined to take Hua Wei because of his bid...

After hanging up the phone, Emperor Yun curled up a sly smile.

Ha ha!

Mr. Xiaoqing now has some knowledge of administrative means. Anyway, he is both red and expert now.

If domestic companies buy Huawei, and the buyers also get crazy stacking of armor with various BUFFs, then this is the right route.

No one can find any reason to blame.

As for whether he would be scolded by Mr. Ren and cause trouble, he didn't care about that.

It would be better to dissuade the old man from surrendering as soon as possible.

The Prince's Rebellion and the old man's desire to surrender made Hua Wei go through his darkest moment. In fact, Hua Wei had already wasted a lot of time.
