Chapter 168.9 You Need to Think a Few More Steps when Playing Chess (Thank You JimH for the 10,000 Reward)

Although he has made up his mind to buy Infineon, and although Qimonda's dram technology is of great use to Fairy Company, Xiao Qi is very displeased with the German's way of matching.

But there is no way to do this. It is really too difficult to acquire companies in European countries like Germany. It is no wonder that companies in these countries cannot develop, and the development model of the United States is completely two extremes!

Therefore, the United States can produce super large groups with a market value of tens of billions and hundreds of billions of dollars one after another, but there is no such large group in the European continent!

No wonder the impact of the European debt crisis has been so far-reaching. It's no wonder that this kind of self-styled behavior, which is not at all integrated into the big stage of the world, can develop and become prosperous and strong!

Leaving aside the teenager's complaints, when Xiao Qi finalized the plan, Goldman Sachs happily took the plan and rushed to Germany again.

What they need to do is to coordinate the delisting of Infineon in the German stock market, complete the overall privatization process, and supervise the possible transfer of intellectual property rights by the Germans during the transaction process, as well as prevent the loss of assets. The development of the situation - don't think that the Germans are so honest, their workers are not bad, and it is impossible for anyone who is the boss and high-level person of the company to be honest! !

As long as this long and tedious work is completed, Goldman Sachs will receive a commission of at least 300 million US dollars. This huge entrusted profit can almost make Goldman Sachs Europe laugh out loud in its dreams.

Xiao Qi really had a feeling of gloating over their elation.

Because only Xiao Qi in this world knows that the good days of Goldman Sachs are the past few months. With the outbreak of the financial crisis and the deepening of the European debt crisis, Goldman Sachs, the super giant behind the scenes, is making waves. They will become the target of everyone shouting and beating, and fines and punishments will directly make them cry in their dreams.

What makes Xiao Qi a little bit regretful is that even such a severe punishment did not cost Goldman Sachs much vitality. They are still the world's number one investment bank. It can still make waves in Wall Street, Financial Street, etc., and harm countless people.

The strength of Goldman Sachs is closely related to the strength of the United States. As long as the United States is still the hegemon in the world, Goldman Sachs will continue to make waves. After all, many people know that Goldman Sachs and even Wall Street are actually beasts raised by the US government. Financial means are used to attack the competitors of the United States, so as to ensure the strength of the United States.

Xiao Qi doesn't think he is a smart person, at least he is much worse than Wall Street elites such as Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. Therefore, the development direction he chose from the beginning was not virtual financial trade, but real electronic technology products.

Otherwise, although Xiao Qi could rely on the advantage of reincarnation to win for a while, but after 2013, how could Xiao Qi without the advantage of reincarnation and rebirth be able to cope with Wall Street, where financial geniuses from all over the world gathered?

Occupy Wall Street is nothing more than a joke.

Back to the present. Although the total value of the agreement reached by Xiao Qi and Infineon exceeds 9.6 billion US dollars, it is not a one-time payment. Instead, it is split into three payments spanning nine months.

Unless you use cash plus stocks, this kind of acquisitions that span several months or even one or two years happens a lot in Europe and the United States. After all, apart from companies like Apple and Le, there are not many companies with hands There are billions and tens of billions of dollars in spare money.

Xiao Qi is rich, although the cash flow in his hands has been reduced recently due to the acquisition of Nortel Networks. However, since the release of dream stars at the end of December, 2.2 million units have been sold, which has actually increased his cash flow. There are more than 40 billion US dollars in cash flow available for use in several bank accounts.

During the 9-month payment process, Xiao Qi agreed to pay in US dollars, at least 20% less than the current expenditure—after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The Federal Reserve was terrified. The crazy depreciation of the US dollar at that time would make countless people scold the United States for being "crazy"!

The boy's deposit in Citibank was settled in RMB for him, which means that since Xiao Qi deposited it, Citibank has converted it into RMB for him, but Xiao Qi can take out US dollars at any time according to the market exchange rate of the day. Only Xiao Qi can enjoy this convenient and fast way.

Xiao Qi’s payment is basically deposited into China Merchants Bank as soon as it arrives. China Merchants Bank also has the task of foreign exchange reserves. They immediately exchanged Xiao Qi into RMB and put it in his China Merchants Bank account. No risk of depreciation.

On the contrary, in the future, the depreciation of the US dollar and the appreciation of the renminbi, when the two are superimposed, I am afraid that it may save 30% of money!

The Germans originally wanted to make a lot of money, but they lost so much just because of the time difference, which is equivalent to only earning more than 6 billion U.S. dollars. This huge contrast will make them want to cry when the time comes. Tears!

That is to say, Xiao Qi still has a sum of money that is not visible now, and that is the money he earned from the subprime mortgage crisis. Now it has returned to his private bank account, which has exceeded 6.2 billion US dollars. Except for Tong Wencong and Xiao Qi Apart from knowing, Xiao Qi didn't even tell his wives.

As for Tong Wencong, let alone, although he has now become a well-known fund manager on Wall Street, if people know that he has earned 6.2 billion in private commissions and his own income has exceeded 200 million US dollars, I am afraid not only It's not just that the regulatory authorities come to him, the police and judges will also invite him to drink coffee.

For this kind of thing, if there is no extremely domineering background, it is better to make a fortune silently!

Don't look at Xiao Qi's total sum of about 20 billion US dollars in this subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, but the time span is more than 3 years, and the laundering of this money is even more difficult. If you don't want to completely stink your reputation and want to use it, you must be cautious.

The acquisition of Infineon is just a move by Xiao Qi on his own chips and smart sensors, and there will be a series of steps next.

First of all, what Xiao Qi wants to acquire is the Spreadtrum Communications mentioned by the senior executives. This company was founded by overseas students from Silicon Valley in Huaguo. The company is headquartered in the East and listed on NASDAQ in the United States. But the development is not very smooth, and the market value is only about 1.8 billion US dollars.

The reason lies in the accumulation of technology and less invention.

After Xiao Qi bought Spreadtrum Communications, the first thing he did was to send all their elites to Infineon to learn German technology.

The IQ and EQ of the bosses of Huaguo Company are not very good, but there are still many smart people in Huaguo, among the senior IQ talents in the United States. A large part of them are Chinese.

Therefore, although the people of Spreadtrum Communications are not good at running a company, they can still make people feel at ease when they are working on technology, especially the learning ability of Huaguo people, which should not be underestimated.

As long as the people from Spreadtrum Communications have learned Infineon's technology, Xiao Qi can open another laboratory in Huaguo, specializing in smart vehicle systems, cpu chips, and mobile phone baseband chips. Then he dare not talk about mobile phones. Chips are better than Qualcomm, but MediaTek's mobile phones can snatch the mid-to-low-end chip processor market, but it is not a little sure.

Intelligent vehicle system. Xiao Qi can also make some simple accessories for compact cars or mini cars. If the price can be lowered a little, I believe that no one will be willing to give their own safety an extra insurance, and no one will be willing to give themselves Add some technological color to the driving.

When talking about acquisitions with people, Xiao Qi believes that only professional people can do the best.

This time he chose Citibank.

Citibank has always been Xiao Qi's die-hard fan, and has a lot of business in all parts of Huaguo. This kind of convincing thing. It's best for them to do it.

Spreadtrum Communications was acquired by Tsinghua Unisplendour in its previous life, which proves that they still want to hug their thighs. With an incomparably powerful backer like Fairy Company, they can perform better, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.

Then the second step, Infineon's smart sensor is very powerful, of course Xiao Qi will not let it go.

He has already notified the experts from Fairy Lab and Huaguo Optoelectronics Institute to make preparations once the contract is signed. At least more than 500 large laboratory engineers will collectively go to Germany to learn from German experts and practice experiments by themselves for at least one year. Rotate after one year.

As the senior executives of Xiannv Company said, it is always better to keep the technology in your own hands.

An open country like the United States is different. The technology of Mingxiang Holdings North American Laboratory and Fairy Laboratory are common. As long as you do not involve sensitive fields such as the military, Americans are still very tolerant in these aspects.

Europe is notoriously closed.

To take a simple example, everyone knows the Volvo acquired by Geely?

Volvo is a good car. Its safety performance and environmental protection factor are well-known brands all over the world.

When they couldn't do it because of labor, technology and other costs, Geely bought Volvo directly.

At first glance, this is a good thing!

We bought Volvo and used Volvo's advanced technology, so we can't beat the shit out of those joint venture cars of the same level?

Among other things, the cost of a joint venture car alone can't compare!

but!

Things are not as simple as everyone thinks! !

It is good that Volvo was sold to Geely, but there were conditions when they sold it, that is, the R&D department and production department in Sweden must remain the same, no layoffs, no interference in internal business activities, no...

Well, this is not buying a company, it is purely buying an ancestor to go home for offerings!

Such harsh conditions are also the reason why Geely only made a slight move to localize its cars a few years after acquiring Volvo!

have a look!

This is the disadvantage of technology control in the hands of others!

With this lesson learned from others, Xiao Qi will certainly not repeat the same mistakes! (To be continued..)

ps:   When looking through the information, I feel a little bit aggrieved. When we buy companies outside, we are basically cheated. Volvo is a typical example. If you want to rise again, there is a long way to go!
