Homecoming of Rebirth

"Two cases."

"Which two?"

"First, if ARM still stays in Cambridge, I want 51%, and I want to establish a research and development center in China."

"Second, if ARM can move its headquarters to China, then I only need 49%, and you are still the CEO of ARM."

Warren: "..."

Well, I am full of sincerity, and my attitude cannot be lowered anymore.

"Qi, I feel your sincerity."

Warren pondered for a long time, "I understand, I will try my best to convince the board of directors."

Warren finally agreed.

At this time, the pre-dinner wine was served, and Qi Lei raised his glass, "I hope the cooperation will be successful!"

……

Desheng, Beijing branch.

Jaquil rushed into Manager Wen's office in a hurry.

"Confirmed! Confirmed! Our judgment is correct!"

Manager Wen stood up abruptly, "Is it 100% accurate?"

Jaquil, "Accurate! This morning, ARM commissioned an appraisal agency in China to make a comprehensive assessment of the overall value of 30 Payments, as well as the market prospects."

"It's enough to confirm that Qi Lei's condition for RAM is to pay 30!! His redemption of the pledged shares is not a high-priced mortgage at all, but he wants to directly transfer it to ARM as a bargaining chip!!"

After hearing this, Manager Wen slapped his palm heavily, "That's great!"

But, Jaquil hasn't finished yet.

He smiled mysteriously, "Wen, it's more than that! Guess what else Qi Lei promised to ARM?"

Manager Wen was taken aback, "What, what?"

Jaquil, "It's Pangu!! It's the Pangu system!"

"!!!"

Manager Wen's head buzzed, he was stunned for a long time, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So courageous!! So ruthless!"

Qi Lei is really generous.

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly yelled at Jaquil again: "Quick! Book me a plane ticket!"

Jaquel, "Where are you going?"

Manager Wen, "Go to Silicon Valley! Go to Washington! Go to Wall Street!"

"Jaquel, our big business is here!"

Manager Wen was extremely excited, "Whether it is a Silicon Valley programmer, a Wall Street blue tie, or a politician, he will not let him buy ARM!!"

When Jaquil heard this, he poured cold water on Manager Wen, "Wen, your thinking is too simple."

"We can know this news, and so can Washington."

"Just providing some news that everyone will know soon won't bring much benefit."

When Manager Wen heard this, he smiled lightly, "You are still too young."

Doesn't Manager Wen know that just this news is worthless?He has other leverage.

A qualified capital does not wait for opportunities, but creates them.

In the past, Qi Lei used them as gunmen, but this time it was finally reversed, and Qi Lei became a good gun.

When Washington, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street know that a China wants to acquire ARM, how many people will be tempted?

The value of ARM company, but everyone can understand.

Before boarding the plane, Manager Wen did not forget to tell Jaquil, "Suspend the negotiation with Sanshi Company, and find an excuse to delay the handover of the pledged equity!"

"As long as Qi Lei can't come up with the funds for the acquisition, we have plenty of time to operate!"

Gee!

This grandson is very dark-hearted!

Chapter 387

Cambridge, ARM headquarters.

Warren Aite pushed Qi Lei's note to the board of directors and the company's top management.

His face was a little dignified, "This is Qi Lei's offer, what's your opinion?"

This discussion will be very strange. It is said that ARM has been struggling due to the war with Intel in the past year, and has discussed the possibility of being acquired more than once.

Several well-known companies have also expressed their willingness to acquire, and the board of directors has conducted in-depth discussions on this.

However, in the past, it was just a board discussion.

Whether the company is sold or kept, other people can only accept their fate, and only the bosses of the board of directors have the right to decide the fate of ARM.

But this time, not only the members of the board of directors, but also the company's technology, sales executives, operations and finance were all present.

Warren just pushed the quotation of Three Rock Company to everyone.

Everyone secretly swallowed their saliva when they looked at the note, it was so tempting!

A Pangu system that completely crushes Windows in China's installed capacity, and a 30 payment that controls the lifeline of China's Internet finance, is too tempting.

Warren, "These two businesses of TS Company (the English abbreviation of Three Stone Company), although they are not as valuable as ARM."

"However, everyone knows that these two businesses are far from peaking and are on the rise."

"And, to remind everyone, China has a population base of one billion, and they are the world's second largest Internet investment destination. She is vigorously developing the Internet."

"So, the prospects for the future are very promising."

"Besides, if these two businesses are in the hands of the Chinese, it will be difficult to make a big difference. However, once they are in our hands, it will be a different situation."

"We will not be subject to so many restrictions and containment from China, we are likely to become the second Microsoft. No! Combined with ARM's custom core instruction set, we will step on Microsoft at the technical level!"

At this time, Sam Brown, Warren's closest partner in the company, also spoke.

"It's not just Microsoft, combined with the system's instruction set, in terms of performance, stability, fluency, and Pangu's own personalization. The user experience will completely crush Intel. This is an opportunity, a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Warren added: "Also, please advise, Qi Lei's offer is very interesting."

"If we are willing to move our headquarters to China, he is willing to take only 49% of the shares!"

"That is to say, not only will we not lose ARM, but we will also get 30 payment and Pangu system."

"Maybe for ARM, this will be a milestone merger!"

"Once successful, we will hopefully become one of the greatest high-tech companies in the world!"

Warren became more emotional as he spoke, trying to infect everyone with his emotions.

In fact, Warren doesn't need to say too much, everyone knows the truth.

However, the problem is:

"A Chinese company, can we make a deal?"

It can be said that there are layers of obstacles. First of all, the British government is a difficult problem, and even if the British government nods, the Americans are the next obstacle.

They will not let the Chinese acquire high-tech companies like ARM.

I saw Warren staring at everyone, "High risk comes with high reward!"

"It is precisely because this merger is going to be very difficult that we all need to work together."

"Gentlemen! I emphasize again that once this deal is concluded, ARM will have a qualitative leap."

This remark resonated with everyone, and they all nodded.

"Okay!" Warren saw that the consensus was almost unanimous, "If you have any opinions and suggestions, you can share them, and we will accomplish this great feat together!"

The first to speak was still Warren's ally Sam Brown.

"It seems that the transaction negotiation is not the key point now, at least we know that Qi Lei's sincerity is still very good."

"So, the first task at the moment is actually on us. We have to convince the House of Commons and convince the Americans."

"For the United States, I think we can hire a lobbying company. They know better than us how to get the politicians in Washington to nod."

With Sam at the beginning, everyone began to brainstorm.Proposals to deal with future headwinds abound.

It's just that Warren didn't notice that a middle-aged man sitting in the corner was frowning all the time on his tired face.

Seeing that almost everyone supports Warren's merger plan, the man at noon finally couldn't sit still.

"I object!!"

A loud shout suddenly made the field stagnate.

Everyone looked over, including Warren who looked astonished.

I really didn't expect that in such a one-sided situation, there are still people who are so ignorant?

However, Warren is the CEO after all, and he has a city beyond the reach of ordinary people.

With a calm smile, he looked at the middle-aged man, "Dr. Byron, do you have a different opinion? You might as well speak up. It's okay, we are a democratic company."

The person who made the objection was the chief scientist of the ARM R&D laboratory and the director of the ARM Microelectronics Materials Department-Byron August.

It was the one Qi Lei missed.

At this moment, Byron stared at Warren, the corners of his mouth twitching.

This is a typical man in science and engineering, he only has his own research in his mind, and he doesn't care about the world, the city's workplace, and so on.

Suddenly stood up: "I do not agree to go to China, it is a desert of science!"

"Moving ARM there is to find a grave for ARM!"

"Mr. Warren, don't you understand this? You expect a backward country to achieve the glory of ARM? What a ridiculous idea?"

Byron was not polite at all, he just cursed when he came up.

Warren who scolded was very embarrassed, so he could only smile awkwardly, "Dr. Byron, in fact, China is not as bad as you imagined. It has developed rapidly in recent years."

Sam is not as gentle as Warren, but is extremely strict, "Byron, this is the company's decision-making meeting, watch your words!"

But, how could Byron agree to his tricks?

"What's the matter? It's because it's a decision-making meeting that I'm going to say it."

"I'm saying this for the future of ARM." Looking directly at Warren, "Ait, we have been colleagues for nearly ten years. When I was an intern, ARM was just established."

"Back then, we were huddled in a small office and delusional about chip manufacturing."

"Have you forgotten why we have our headquarters in Cambridge?"

Warren's face turned blue and pale, and he could only say, "I remember."

"Because it is next to Cambridge University, it is a place where European talents gather."

After hearing this, Byron sneered, "Yes, a place where talents gather! A considerable number of us are from Cambridge. When we were still in school, we came to ARM for internships. It is for this reason that many of us People, even after graduating from Cambridge and having better job opportunities, still choose to stay at ARM.”

"Now, you're going to move ARM to China?"

"I don't agree! You will never be allowed to do this!"

Sam frowned when he heard this. Byron was the veteran of the company, but in his eyes it was inappropriate.

Is there anything you can't communicate in private?Why do you want everyone not to come down?

Shouted, "Byron!"

Unexpectedly, he has a loud voice, and Byron August has a louder voice than him.

"Enough! Sam!"
