Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Chapter 3540: Sense of urgency

Ni Guangnan came out of the group headquarters and looked back. He seemed to still be able to vaguely hear what Jiang Xiaobai said when scolding other directors at the board meeting.

 Leading enterprises must have the responsibilities and responsibilities of leading enterprises, rather than just saying that they make more money and are leading enterprises.

The huge pattern described in this sentence shocked him. Huaqing Holding Group's success today is not just a matter of simple luck.

Even if Jiang Xiaobai is not in business, he will still have his own glory.

This trip to the magical city can be said to be full of achievements. We have made plans to build a new wafer fab in the mainland. If not this year, next year, the entire group will work hard for this.

 And listening to Jiang Xiaobai's words made him a little more determined about the future. Regardless of his own technical, industrial and trade route, what the future will look like, whether he can succeed, and how far he can go.

 But at least you can move forward unswervingly, and that is enough.

Even if it fails in the end, at least something will be left behind, such as the mainland’s wafer factories and the chip design and production capabilities.

The old man Liufa is a teenager, Mr. Ni wrapped his coat tightly and let himself, an old man, contribute his last bit of residual heat to the development of domestic science and technology.

Ni Guangnan got into the car and looked far away in the direction of the capital. He knew that his old rival, Mr. Liu, was busy thinking about acquiring IBM's PC division.

In the Liu-Ni dispute back then, I lost. It turned out that I had always been worried about this matter in my heart. I was thinking about how to prove that I was right, but Liu was always wrong.

 But now I have a different idea. It doesn’t matter whether it’s right or wrong, it’s just that the route is different.

 Mr. Liu is also a great person, but in terms of structure, he cannot compare with Jiang Xiaobai, so he will never be the leader.

 And I will stick to my own path, even if I don’t succeed, I will leave something behind.

As for the merits and demerits, it is natural for future generations to comment.

Ni Guangnan headed towards Pengcheng at full speed. After he returned to Lianxiang Company, he would hold a high-level meeting to briefly introduce the situation reported to the group today. At the same time, he also assigned tasks and prepared to start all-out preparations for the construction of a new wafer. Factory matters.

After the board meeting here, Jiang Xiaobai did not restrict the spread of news. Huaqing Holding Group’s preparations for a new wafer fab in the mainland began to spread slowly in the industry.

Mr. Liu, who was intensively negotiating the acquisition with IBM in Beijing, was silent for a long time after receiving the news.

He insisted on following his own trade, industry and technology route, while Ni Guangnan insisted on following his own technology, industry and trade route. After the two parted ways many years ago, they have each moved forward in their own fields.

Now, he is about to acquire IBM, and Ni Guangnan is also about to build a second wafer fab, truly bringing cutting-edge technology back to the country.

 Originally, there was still the last bit of hesitation in the negotiation with IBM, and we were ready to negotiate on the price, but at this moment, Mr. Liu couldn't wait any longer.

 We can’t wait until Ni Guangnan announces the construction of a wafer fab first. Mr. Liu slapped the documents on the table and stood up, calling the secretary in.

“Inform the top management of our group that everyone should come over for a meeting to discuss the acquisition of IBM. In half an hour, I will meet everyone in the conference room, and also notify the secretary-general to take minutes of the meeting.”

The secretary was shocked, nodded, turned around and hurriedly went to inform people.

 Half an hour later, all the senior staff of Lianxiang Group were gathered in the conference room.

Seeing Mr. Liu come in, everyone immediately asked: "Mr. Liu, why are you so anxious? Call us all over."

“Yes, Mr. Liu, aren’t the negotiations with IBM ongoing? Or is there something wrong?”

“Mr. Liu, has IBM proposed any conditions?”

 “Mr. Liu…”

Many senior executives asked questions one by one. Mr. Liu waved his hand and sat down in the middle.

"It's like this. We gathered everyone together today to come up with a final plan. We have been negotiating with IBM for a long time, and there is no point in continuing. This condition is basically It’s over. It’s basically impossible to continue the discussion, so we’ll make a decision tonight to see if we can accept the conditions offered by IBM. If so, we’ll finalize the matter tonight. alright."

 Mr. Liu directly sent the minutes of the two days of negotiations to every senior executive.

Then he continued to introduce the situation: "The final price offered by IBM is US$1.75 billion. Needless to say, neither we nor IBM have any objection to this price.

What is controversial now and where there is no agreement is cash and stocks. Our idea is to give 550 million US dollars, 700 million US dollars in stocks, and the remaining 500 million US dollars in debt, but IBM Bian's idea is to get $650 million in cash, then $600 million in stocks, and finally $500 million in debt.

The two parties have a dispute on this point. Now our idea is to see if we can accept IBM's offer.

The company's cash is not very abundant now. If we agree to IBM's conditions, it means that our cash flow will be very tight in the future.

 But if we don’t agree, we don’t know how long this negotiation will need to be delayed.

 In 1984, I started my own business from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. At that time, I attended IBM's personal computer dealer meeting for the first time. I was very nervous and apprehensive. Of course, I was more excited because I had witnessed the magnificent times.

From that time, we started the era of Lianxiang. Until today, we have sat at the negotiation table with people from IBM. I think this itself represents a new starting point and the beginning of a new era.

If we want to acquire IBM's PC division, then we should not hesitate. Even if the cash flow is tight, it will be tight. In twenty years, let us do something of historical significance at this historic moment. , which is even more important to us, Lianxiang. "

Mr. Liu watched everyone speak word by word. He almost made his attitude unabashedly clear, that is, he wanted to acquire IBM's PC business department, and he had such a sense of urgency that he couldn't wait for a moment.
