Rewrite the Technological Landscape

"President Meng, this is the current list of intentions." Shao Yibo handed a document to Meng Qian's room.

"Silicon Valley's latest developments, has Xiao Boshi given back?"

"Well, as expected by Mr. Meng, many companies in Silicon Valley have begun to increase their overseas acquisitions. Obviously there is capital driving behind this. However, according to the data given by Mr. Xiao, this Silicon Valley acquisition is mainly focused on hardware. In the field of software, Silicon Valley has relatively little action."

It is inevitable that there will be few software actions, because the software company Dafeng Group has dragged them down. The former Oracle is now cold, and Sun Micro is also waiting to be acquired. While Google was suppressed by Dafeng Group, Android was suppressed by the search engine. Asia is facing competition, so is HP. Software and hardware are also affected by the Dafeng Group. Adobe has reduced its market share by at least 30% because of the Dafeng Group’s current market share. Cisco is struggling to deal with the alliance between Dafeng Group and SAP. The powerful IBM and Microsoft are now dragged down by the acquisition costs of Oracle and Sun Micro, and they can't spare much capital.

The software power in Silicon Valley was messed up by Meng Qian.

"Perot Systems Company?" Meng Qian constantly looked for his satisfactory goals while looking through the documents. "I remember this company serves the U.S. federal government. Is it willing to sell it to us?"

"If we acquire, we will acquire Perot Systems' business in markets outside the United States, mainly in Asia, but also include some European businesses."

"I have a bit of an impression of this company. The founder came from IBM. He has been bashing IBM for so many years, saying that IBM is a company that drinks human blood."

"Yes, Perot Systems' market reputation has always been very good. The main users are either government officials or large companies. In recent years, Perot Systems has been particularly successful in the field of medical IT. This is also my recommendation to acquire part of the Perot Systems market business. s reason."

"I remember this company is operating well, how do you convince them?"

"The founder Ross hasn't known why he has put his mind on real estate and oil fields in recent years. Last year, he spent 2.2 billion meters to buy an oil field in the Middle East.

As a result, he caught up with the subprime mortgage crisis. Ross's real estate business suffered a substantial loss and is now facing a major debt crisis.

Hewlett-Packard has already proposed the purchase intention to Perot Systems, but the purchase price proposed by Ross is 4 billion meters. HP can't make so much money. At the same time, Ross doesn't seem to have much favor with HP. "

After understanding the situation, Meng Qian nodded subconsciously, "It is another plant in the hands of real estate. This company is not bad. It will help us develop the government market in various countries in the future, and sooner or later we will enter medical and life. science field."

"Okay." Shao Yibo took out his notebook and jotted it down.

"Metacarta? How's the company talking about?"

"The company's acquisition intention is very high, and they are very satisfied with the price we have given. However, as a positioning company, the successful acquisition of metacarta will be subject to a large degree of intervention by the US government.

"Motorola's efforts are changing the attitudes of US operators. The US incumbent wants to pursue a liberal route. Hongmeng is likely to enter the US in the future. If the acquisition of metacarta is of strategic significance to us, please think about it. Think of ways to."

"Well, I will use all available resources."

"Is also willing to sell?" Meng Qian saw the company that interests him again. It is currently the world's largest independent business integration software company, which focuses on middleware products.

"Speaking of it is quite fun, because the financial crisis encountered a big sales problem, so I asked SAP for help, and then SAP came to us, and then we got on the line.

The technical level of the company is no problem, but it is a company that does not pay much attention to sales, and the market is in a mess, which gives us the opportunity to acquire.

However, according to our investigation, SAP has also been interested in acquisitions, but at this time SAP can't come up with so much money. "

"SAP is our very important ally in Europe." Meng Qian touched his chin, "Well, let's talk about the acquisition first, and see what attitude is here on SAP. If they don’t respond, then forget it. If SAP finds You, let’s talk about cooperative acquisitions."

"I understand."

"SGI only costs 30 million meters?" Meng Qian saw a familiar company. Even the well-known 2D/3D graphics application programming interface OpenGL development company, SGI mastered the OpenGL standard. "

"Well, SGI filed for bankruptcy protection in 2006. In the past two years, it has encountered a financial crisis and its debt has been rising. It is said that the debt has now exceeded 500 million meters.

My bid of 300 billion meters is already a great respect for them. "

Meng Qian circled SGI with his pen, "If you can acquire SGI, you will not only get the OpenGL standard, but also help our cloud computing business. You should also focus on this company."

Shao Yibo continued to write in the notebook.

"Razorfish? AQuantiv's online advertising agency?"

Shao Yibo raised his head and took a look, "Well, one day after aQuantiv was acquired by Microsoft is not as good as one day, and now I am going to sell Razorfish for some money."

"500 million meters, the valuation is not low."

"Razorfish is still very marketable in the field of online advertising. Once acquired, it will be helpful to the promotion of our products in the United States."

"But Samuel told me about Fengxin again yesterday. It is not easy for us to bite the bullet and spend so much money to make Fengxin live in the United States until now."

"The market for Razorfish is not only in the United States."

Meng Qian thought for a while, "Are there any other subsidiaries that Microsoft wants to sell?"

"There is also a mobile software developer and service provider Danger, which was also acquired by Microsoft last year. The result was a mess. Now, no one is interested in finding someone to take over."

"Well, let's not contact the companies under Microsoft for the time being, and we will talk about it after we successfully acquired Sun Micro." As Meng Qian put down the documents, he had already read them, "Do you have anything else to add?"

"By the way, President Meng just mentioned that we are going to develop into the medical and life science fields in the future. There are actually many companies in related fields that can be acquired, such as MDSInc, Aisijin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The purchase price is not low. After all, it is a future plan of the company. I don't know if I should contact it?"

Meng Qian first glanced at the information of these companies, "If they are all acquired, how much will it cost?"

"At least 3 billion meters."

"Let's talk about it then." Meng Qian put down the document again, "Except for the key points I set out for you, you should continue to contact other companies. This time I will give you the US acquisition mission target of 20 billion."

Shao Yibo closed the notebook.

"Million yuan."

"Snapped!"

The laptop fell directly to the ground, and Shao Yibo stared at Meng Qian with wide eyes, "20 billion yuan?! Coupled with the acquisition of Sun Micro~www.ltnovel.com~ Are we going to spend 25 billion yuan in the U.S. market? "

"Don't look like you haven't seen the world." Meng Qian picked up the notebook and gave it to Shao Yibo. "Such a large acquisition may attract the attention of the U.S. government, so you must be quick and accurate and try to be low-key. Some real acquisitions. Companies that don’t come should give up, and don’t cause too much commotion."

"I understand, but where does the company get so much money?"

"It might be because the company performed so well last year. The banks all came over to ask me for a loan a year ago, and I was too embarrassed to refuse."

"Meng, do you think I can believe this?"

Meng Qian suddenly became serious, "It's enough if the money is in place. Is the reason important?"

Shao Yibo felt Meng Qian's aura and immediately shut up, "I'll go and make a plan now."

When Silicon Valley just started its own overseas mergers and acquisitions, Meng Qian's capital army had already arrived at their base camp.
