Chapter 2838 ARM Kneels

The good news that Lauder was eager to report to Feng Yiping in person was naturally one of the two things that Feng Yiping personally entrusted him with, and today finally came to fruition.

That is, Feng Yiping was interested in it, but his CEO Warren East did not welcome the acquired ARM, and finally put it on his knees for the check handed over by the richest man Feng Da.

Feng Yiping clenched his fist silently. If Lauder were in front of him at this moment, he would definitely wipe his bald head with his sleeve and take a "pop".

With ARM in hand, for Feng Yiping, it means that I have the Internet of Things.

Yes, acquiring ARM is not for the present, but for the future.

This is one of several plans he has implemented to ensure that his company can continue to maintain its advantages after he retires and will not be marginalized in future development.

Being able to acquire ARM at this time, rather than a few years later, from an investment point of view, is no less than Ma Ling signing Justin Bieber on behalf of YouTube, who still looks like a good boy at this time.

"Thank you, Lord, this is the best New Year's gift you have given me," he said loudly. "Anyway, it seems that you will not have any major breakthrough in my other commission before the end of the year. ,Right,"

Lauder, who was still smiling, didn't know what to say at this time. He was praising and thanking us just now, and then he started to criticize us. Can you please stop doing this?

Why are you so difficult to take care of?

"Feng, aren't our efficiency high? You also know the attitude of ARM, especially CEO Warren East,"

"And you know, that company in South Africa is a tough nut to crack,"

of course.

No matter how dissatisfied the British were with the United States, and how dissatisfied their former Prime Minister Blair was with all kinds of kneeling and licking of American uncles, there was no doubt that the influence of the United States in all aspects of the United Kingdom was high at that time.

Wall Street, represented by Goldman Sachs, has also penetrated the British economy very comprehensively and far-reachingly.

Therefore, when Feng Yiping came to visit, ARM could still maintain their old-fashioned gentleman style, but it was a bit difficult to maintain their airs in front of Goldman Sachs and others.

But in South Africa, Goldman Sachs does not have the same influence as in the UK.

It was okay before Mandela came to power. Before Mandela came to power, white people held a dominant position in South Africa, a country known as the United States of Africa. Although they were small in number, they occupied a dominant position.

Mandela's rise to power marked the end of apartheid in South Africa.

But when black people took full power, there was a phenomenon of overcorrection. The black people who were previously discriminated against now started to discriminate against white people because they had become the masters.

Yes, you read that right. In South Africa today, discrimination against white people is the mainstream. For example, black people with a little education can easily find a job, while white people, even if they have a diploma from a first-class university, can still find a job. can not find a job.

Because the South African government implemented the "Black Economic Enhancing Act" and the "Fair Employment Act", various large and small businesses and companies began to fire white employees and only hire black or mixed-race employees.

A few years ago, it was popular in South Africa to expropriate land from white people for free - an act that was stamped by the government and the president.

Like any country, such a policy will always go wrong during the implementation process. In the process of land expropriation, the houses, property, wives, daughters, and even lives of white people on the land will inevitably be expropriated.

So if Goldman Sachs and others wanted to bring this to South Africa, they said to MIH and the parent company behind it, the South African Press Group, "Do you want to have a good talk, or do you not want to have a good talk?"

Then it is very likely that you will eat a bowl of noodles...

Therefore, Goldman Sachs and others have to put a lot of effort into acquiring MIH, "But don't worry Feng, after ARM comes to an end, we will have more energy and manpower to complete your commission. Just wait and hear." Good news, as you know, the current situation in South Africa is not much better,"

The situation in South Africa is certainly not much better, because even the United States, which has invested more than 800 billion US dollars in bailout, is not much better.

And this is why ARM relented.

The past two years have not been easy for ARM. Not only are they losing money this year, they expect they will still be losing money next year.

Because of the financial crisis, life is very difficult for shareholders, so even some of them know that with the rise of smartphones, because of ARM's advantages, they will be in good shape in the future, and shareholders will eventually Still holding Warren East's head, he agreed to the acquisition plan proposed by Goldman Sachs on behalf of Feng Yiping.

Because their own company is eager to wait for the rice to be cooked.

ARM's future development may be very good and may bring them good profits, but the premise is that they have to survive until that day first.

"Feng, the general conditions are this. In terms of acquisition price, their average market value in the previous 40 days is equivalent to about 2.5 billion US dollars. The offer accepted by their board of directors is a 50% premium..."

Feng Yiping immediately said, "I agree,"

When he asked Goldman Sachs to acquire these two companies, he made it clear, "at any cost."

Specifically, based on their market value, the premium can be up to 60%. If this amount is exceeded, further discussion with him is required.

The premium is only 50% now, and due to losses and the impact of the general environment, ARM's average market value is only about US$2.5 billion, which means that in total, it is only about US$3.8 billion.

Thinking about ARM's future, Mr. Feng really wanted to say, "It's so cheap!"

Perhaps seeing that Feng Yiping agreed very readily, so he must be quite satisfied, Lord immediately saw the opportunity and started to show his merit for them, but Feng Yiping, who was very familiar with Lord's tricks, did not accept his words at all. He asked directly, "In terms of supervision, will there be any duplication?"

The reason why he asked this was partly his own reason.

After comprehensive consideration, Feng Yiping, who didn't like to be restrained by nature, finally turned down the invitation of the old lady who lived in Buckingham Palace.

Although they know that the family is just a mascot now, the people of Fu country have special respect for the mascot of the family represented by the old lady. It is not ruled out that some people have the idea of ​​​​humiliating the subject to death because of this, so they secretly use it to trip up the mascot. Son's.

After his performance was interrupted, Laald's slight depression immediately disappeared. He said in his heart, this is the opportunity you gave me. "There can't be any problems in this regard." He was eager to take pictures. Breasts guaranteed.

"We are Goldman Sachs. Whether it is Buckingham Palace or Downing Street, we maintain good relationships and contacts with them..."

He was finally able to talk without interruption. The meaning of those words can be summed up like this. As long as he needs it, he can directly call No. 10 Downing Street at any time and say, "Brown (the current president of the corrupt country)" Prime Minister) Ah..."

He also mentioned that one of the reasons why ARM was able to bow its head at this time was that they had fully mobilized these relationships.

And the other investment bank acquired this time is also the other one of the only two investment banks on Wall Street. Morgan Stanley. If you hear Lord's words, I'm afraid you will have to argue with him again. Can you please save some face? Well, if you put it this way, there is nothing wrong with our Damo at all?

Feng Yiping's cell phone not only sounded the notification tone of a new call, but Wu Qian walked in at this time and told him that Cummins and Damo's Mai Jinheng were waiting online at this time. It goes without saying that these two people were also waiting on the line. Come to announce the good news.

It's just that this guy Laald got the upper hand.

"Lord, Lord," Feng Yiping interrupted Lord's wife selling melons. Oh, speaking of which, he is now one of the owners of the melons. "Thank you for your hard work."

He looked at the calendar, "But it seems that this acquisition cannot come to an end in 2008, and it seems to be too late before our traditional Spring Festival. In this case, I hope that in our first month, that is, in 2009 Complete all procedures before mid-February,"

The reason why he was so determined was that, to be honest, he was really worried about having such an important goal that was not very eye-catching at this time.

Lauder calculated that there were still nearly three months left, and immediately said, "It must be no problem,"

Before he could nag further, Feng Yiping ended the call, "That's it, I have other calls,"

But he was not in a hurry to answer the call from Cummins and the others. He stood up and looked out the window.

Outside the window is the usual gloomy scene in the northern winter. Even the Forbidden City, which used to always look so majestic and majestic, making people feel respectful at first sight, now seems to have lost its luster because of the gloomy sky. But this time Shi Feng Yiping's heart was as boundless and beautiful as that summer day when lotus flowers were in full bloom...
