Back To 1995

   Chapter 721

The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Even though the DEC Group is in a recession, it is still a giant company with an annual revenue of several billion dollars. It still has a lot of patents and technologies in its hands. Compared with ICQ's tens of billions of dollars in acquisition price of America Telecom, it is a world of difference!

   But for DEC and the current computer industry, the joint acquisition group composed of PA Semiconductor and Compaq made an offer of 8 billion to DEC, which is the highest price in the industry...

   Now we can see who is the popular fried chicken in the technology industry and who is the real top class.

The huge $8 billion acquisition consortium is dominated by Compaq, with PA Semiconductor and Intel playing the soy sauce. Compaq Computer has made most of the $8 billion, and the two PA Semiconductors are for Compaq Computer. Raising the flag.

  After the acquisition is completed, the entire DEC group will be split, Compaq Group will take the bulk of it, and the semiconductor department will belong to PA Semiconductor and Intel, and the DEC brand will belong to PA Semiconductor.

   Walking in the headquarters building of the DEC Group, Dobble never imagined that one day, he would come back here in this way, but in the attitude of a "conqueror"!

   Dobble and Compaq President Ike Pfeiffer, as well as Intel's Marketing President, walked into the DEC headquarters with a large group of people.

Walking into the headquarters building with the attitude of a "winner", Dobble suddenly felt that when he was here, the group of DEC executives who were annoyed but powerless when he was here, see him now, but a little bit. A servile, ingratiating taste.

In particular, a vice president of the technical department, Dobopool remembers that he was the one who rejected Dobopool's proposal many times, and now, when he saw Dobopoel who came in with a large group of people, the man who used to be powerful in DEC. The monstrous big man, but a little dodgy, obviously didn't want Dobble to notice him.

   Dobble couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that he spent most of his life working hard for DEC, but in the end DEC ended up in this field, I don't know if he was worthless or sighed for DEC.

For this group of fearful and smiling DEC executives, Dobble also knows why they are like this, but they are still afraid. After the joint consortium acquires DEC, they will all fall into the hands of Dobble. They had a good time.

   "President Palmer, this price is already the highest price in the market. Apart from us, there is no other company that will offer DEC such a price!"

Ike Pfeiffer patted the table and called to Palmer, the former president of DEC, that this was unimaginable ten years ago, even five or six years ago, even the president of Microsoft. Years ago, I dared not do this to the head of DEC.

   Back then, when Bill Gates was 13 years old, what he wanted most was a DEC PDP type computer. It can be seen that the DEC group was in the limelight at the beginning, and the richest man was also bowed to it.

   But a phoenix with hair is not as good as a chicken. Now the head of DEC has been slapped on the table in person, and Palmer did not dare to say anything!

Because what Ike Pfeiffer said was the truth, the price of eight billion dollars was really the highest price among the gluttons who wanted to swallow DEC, and drove away Ike Pfeiffer, Who will be the next to buy DEC at a high price is really uncertain, and Palmer can only swallow it.

Seeing Palmer's performance, Dobble's last thought about the DEC group has completely dissipated. Knowing that the former DEC has finally dissipated, let PA Semiconductor keep the DEC brand in its name. , the release of a new brand of processor can be regarded as a continuation of the incense for the DEC Group!

   "This price is too low, DEC Group, has the best workstation, computer, chip technology, has sales channels in 70 regions around the world, has the top five computer brands in the world, and more than 10,000 technicians..."

  Palmer put all the valuable things in DEC, just like selling piglets, just to sell DEC a high price.

   "Ten billion dollars!" Palmer's lion's big opening quotation.

   "8.5 billion dollars!"

  Ike Pfeiffer raised the price without hesitation, as if he was already winning. In this contest, the acquisition consortium headed by Compaq was indeed the one with the upper hand.

Listening to the bargaining on both sides, although it has not yet been determined, Dobble knows that this acquisition has come to an end. The only difference is, how much more can Ike Pfeiffer open for DEC !

   "Forty-one years of DEC were swallowed by Compaq, who was only less than sixteen years old!"

   In a fishing farm in San Jose, Doberpool sat beside Song Yang who was fishing with Whitman and said with a sigh.

Although the acquisition negotiation has not ended, Dobble has no interest in continuing to listen to the bullshit. It is just an extra US dollar. A few years ago, DEC, which made tens of billions of US dollars a year, would not care at all. , and now it is a matter of precariousness.

   This is like, the former boss empire originally thought it would be the boss empire to regain its glory, who knows, but it was vulnerable and was easily beaten down.

Every time Whitman came to San Jose, Song Yang and other executives would accompany the fisherman who was addicted to vegetables, go to a fishing farm, go to other cities, and when he was on vacation with his family, Whitman would accompany him. Man also often shows the demeanor of a fisherman. If you can't catch a fish, let's talk about it. The fishing equipment and the posture of getting the fish hooked must be put up!

Listening to Doberpool's words, Song Yang and Whitman couldn't help but be silent for a while. DEC is a group that is half a century old. , no one can tell.

Song Yang fiddled with the fishing rod. For his temperamental hobby of fishing, Song Yang could never become a real fisherman. Unlike Whitman, no matter if he could catch it or not, as long as he came to a fishing site, he would be sitting on it. I could endure it all day and night.

   "Double-click the acquisition of Nielsen Data Research, and the North American Global Investment Foundation will support it!"

  Like Nielsen Data Company, this old-fashioned company, although niche, has always lived a good life. It may not make much money, but it is stable. If you want to acquire it, you must take out cash to acquire it.

Whitman nodded, his mind still seemed to be on the fishing rod, but Song Yang knew that Whitman was not here to double-click the acquisition of Nielsen. This kind of thing is not worth it, Mr. Whitman. A special trip from afar.
