Chapter 1387 Pearson
Ruiz said that what stands between Dongzhi's semiconductor business and the enterprises in country Z is the resistance on the RBG level. After all, the semiconductor business involves the development of core technologies such as future server security, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, and can even be raised to national strategic security. the height of.
But Yang Cheng felt that the resistance was far more than that. Whether it was military or economic, RB people were forcibly bound by the United States. In the face of such an important resource that was about to change hands, could the Americans stand alone and not come forward to stop it?
Yang Cheng quickly found a set of data. In the NAND flash memory market last quarter, Sanxing ranked first with a revenue of 2.744 billion US dollars, accounting for 36.6%; Dongzhi ranked second with a market share of 2.027 billion US dollars. 19.8%, the market position should not be underestimated.
In addition, last year, a quarter of Dongzhi Group's total revenue came from the semiconductor business department, which is enough to prove that its semiconductor business still has a huge influence on a global scale, and its technology is not far behind the neighboring country's Sanxing.
With such an important asset, the United States, which considers itself the leader of the world, can not intervene?
Based on Yang Cheng's understanding of Americans, the answer is obvious.
Don't forget that there are Koreans who will be in the way. At that time, the United States, Japan and South Korea will form an alliance, first kill all outsiders, and then negotiate internally. In the end, it will be a family game behind closed doors, and outsiders will not even have the right to intervene.
Now that there was a prediction, Yang Cheng simply rejected Ruiz's suggestion, "Let's focus on the negotiations with Westinghouse Electric. We don't have the ability or energy to intervene in the semiconductor business."
Ruiz supports any decision made by Yang Cheng, the meaning of his existence is only to give advice, "Understood~"
Watching Ruiz leave the office, Yang Cheng thought for a while, picked up his cell phone and called Koji Ito.
"Brother Yang?" The call was quickly connected.
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Ito, where are you happy?"
Koji Ito smiled awkwardly, "I'm not in a happy mood. Recently, I've been battered in the company, and I haven't been to a nightclub for half a month."
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "In that case, I might have to cause Brother Ito some trouble."
Koji Ito said directly, "Brother Yang is referring to Westinghouse Electric, right? To be honest, I didn't expect them to make such a big fuss. I had already discussed with Mitsui's family, and the other party was willing to lower the price, so hurry up and get rid of this hot hand." potato.
Who would have thought that those old men with rigid brains in our country would jump out and still incite employees to make trouble behind their backs, which is really embarrassing to our country. "
It's not surprising that Yang Cheng has some knowledge of the fact that RB people have a good face.
But the key to the problem is to solve it. Do you RB people lose face? Do you have half a dime relationship with the young master?
Ito may have changed to a quiet place to speak, and deliberately lowered his voice, as if to say something secret, "Brother Yang, let me tell you some uncertain news. There are rumors that the RB Innovation Network Company controlled by conservatives and RB Strategic Investment Bank is preparing to join forces to take down Westinghouse Electric."
Yang Cheng frowned, "What? Didn't RB already make a resolution to limit the development of nuclear power? Why is there still someone willing to take over?"
"They think that Westinghouse is building a bridge between RB and the US military, even if they lose money." Koji Ito said in a disdainful tone.
Yang Cheng cursed in a low voice,
"Are their brains made of shit?"
This is completely a change in Hang Seng. He had no preparations before, and he always thought that his competitors were his counterparts in the United States.
At present, apart from their family, there is also an investment company from the United States who are in contact with Dongzhi.
Koji Ito could only comfort him, "At present, the authorities are also hesitating. After all, the opinions of the Mitsui family are very important. If they are determined to sell Westinghouse Electric, the conservatives will have nothing to do with them."
Yang Cheng said coldly, "But the crux of the problem is that the Mitsui family is not willing to tear themselves apart with the conservatives because of this kind of thing, right? From a certain point of view, the Mitsui family and the conservatives are colleagues in the same camp."
Ito Koji snorted irresistibly, the answer is self-evident!
Yang Cheng already knew that the little RB was unreliable, that every day his brothers were weak, and that he couldn't use his strength at critical moments, so there was something for him.
Ito's side couldn't be counted on, Yang Cheng thought for a long time, and simply called Matthew Mellon.
"I'm Matthew~" a weak voice sounded, and Yang Cheng faltered, "Eh~ Matthew, it's me, Jason Yang."
"Oh, it's you, how are you? Has Westinghouse got it?" Matthew raised his spirits a little and raised his volume.
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose, "Although I want to tell you good news, the reality is cruel. We are not only obstructed by RB conservatives, but also competed from the United States."
Matthew was silent for a moment, "So you call me, what do you need me to do?"
Yang Cheng was originally calling for help, so naturally she would not be hypocritical, "Find a way to put pressure on RB's conservative officials and let them let the acquisition go."
Matthew sighed, "You should be clear, one of these favors is worth one less, are you sure you want to waste one of them on such a small thing?"
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, "Damn it, besides those favors, you have no other choice?"
Matthew wasn't embarrassed at all, "No~"
Yang Cheng resisted not to curse out the word trash!
"Forget it, when I didn't call~"
As Matthew said, those favors are worth a thousand dollars and must not be wasted on such a small matter.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng decided to ask an old acquaintance for help, took out the old Nokia from the desk drawer, replaced it with a SIM card, and called Richard Durbin.
But no one answered, probably in a meeting, so Yang Cheng had to hang up and call again later.
During the period, Su Su took several documents and came in for Yang Cheng to sign.
At this time, Eddie knocked on the door and came in, "Boss, good day~"
Yang Cheng glanced up and pointed at the sky, "Sit down first, I'll finish the report~"
Su Su politely nodded and smiled at Eddie, and asked what he wanted to drink.
Yang Cheng said directly, "Bring me two cups of coffee, I also need caffeine to refresh myself."
Eddie took the opportunity to say, "Boss, after fever took control of the comments, more and more netizens denounced Morey, but he is still carrying it without the slightest intention of apologizing."
Yang Cheng smiled disdainfully, "This guy makes stupid comments one after another, which is really embarrassing. If you have the ability, you can quit your job with an annual salary of millions of dollars before talking."
Eddie smiled tactfully, "Impossible, he knows that once he resigns, no one will hire him again.
I heard that country Z also had a very big reaction to this matter. "
"It's normal. I can't make money from other people, and I also discriminate against their skin color. No, we should be used. I also have yellow skin." Yang Cheng said with a sneer.
"Yeah, this guy doesn't know what he's thinking. How much money has the NBA made in country Z these years? There must be billions, right? As a result, it's fine if he doesn't flatter, and instead discriminates. If there is a chance, I will I really want to ask him in person what he thinks."
In the matter of Morey, Eddie is very clear on Yang Cheng's side, even if Yang Cheng is not his boss, he already hates racial discrimination, not to mention that Morey's behavior of eating inside and out is typical His moral depravity, no matter how we deal with him, it will not be too much.
Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Never mind him, as long as he doesn't apologize for a day, the fever will not stop."
Eddie Lang said, "I understand~"
Yang Cheng still didn't let go of his hatred, "I have to talk to the Nets later, when I see the Rockets in the future, beat me to death!"
After letting go of the harsh words, Yang Cheng remembered the business, "What are you doing here? Just to talk about this?"
Eddie laughed and shook his head. He was filled with righteous indignation with Yang Cheng just now, and almost forgot about the big event.
"A few days ago, I had a video conference with Witherow from the UK. He said that boss, you have instructions to continue acquiring British traditional media?"
Yang Cheng suddenly realized that this was the matter, "You misunderstood, I didn't say it must be, I just said that if there is a good acquisition target, we should not miss it."
Eddie nodded, "I'm here for this purpose. I just received news from my friend that the acquisition negotiations between the British Pearson Group and RB's largest news media Nikkei News Group have broken down.
I think we can join in. "
Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, "Oh? Is it true? I remember that the rumors of the acquisition of these two groups have been circulating for several years."
Eddie affirmed, "I'm 100% sure, the source is my old friend Marjorie Siccardino, the former president of Pearson.
In fact, she is also responsible for the breakdown of the negotiations, because the "Financial Times" is an old asset of the Pearson Group with a history of nearly 60 years. Marjorie even said: Want to sell the Financial Times? Step over my dead body first! "
Yang Cheng was not surprised by such fierce language, but since the other party did not want the "Financial Times" to be sold, is it necessary for New Era Media to intervene?
Or did Eddie have a mind of his own?
"Are you sure Marjorie won't use the same tactics on us, causing us to follow in Nikkei's footsteps?"
Eddie chuckled, "I am confident to convince her, you must know that when Marjorie took over the Pearson Group, the Pearson Group at that time was sitting on the three ace assets of the Longman Group, the Financial Times Group and the Penguin Group, not only that , also ran a number of non-publishing businesses at the time, such as the famous London Wax Museum.
However, after Marjorie took office, she made a drastic strategic reorganization of the group's business, clarifying the group's core business - based on education, information and mass publishing.
According to the strategy she formulated at the time, Pearson Group sold assets unrelated to its core business, such as the London Wax Museum, and at the same time acquired related businesses and carried out structural adjustments, thus forming the world's largest education center focusing on lifelong education Publishing Group, Financial Times Group, which mainly provides world-class business information services, and Penguin Group, which mainly provides first-class public books and reference books.
It can be said that she is the pioneer of Pearson Group in terms of large-scale weight loss. She should have a very tolerant heart for the transformation of the group! "
