Chapter 2870 Unexpected Cheng Yaojin

The atmosphere at lunch in Kensington Palace Garden Street was very good. Warren East, who seemed a bit out of place half an hour ago, had perfectly integrated into the circle around Feng Yiping.

An elite like him who graduated from a prestigious school and has a perfect career. Being older means that he has more relevant experience. At the dinner table, he has all kinds of interesting anecdotes at his fingertips and is very popular.

It was completely different from the reticent image Cummins and the others had imagined.

He also spoke very measuredly, not relying on his old age because he had eaten fried fish for many years. He was particularly respectful to Feng Yiping, but he did not appear to be deliberate at all.

Maybe people at his level will become enlightened when they reach this age.

Seeing Huang Jingping standing up to leave the table, that is, lunch was about to end, and the gentlemen stood up one after another. He first praised the hostess for her thoughtful preparation, as usual, "This is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten."

Then he said, "I'm sorry, can you give me the piece of ham on the plate?"

"This actually happened many times. I was often embarrassed to eat the last baked potato, so I watched it being thrown away. But this time, this ham, my God, it was so delicious. I couldn't control it. I can’t help it, and I can’t bear it to be dumped like this,”

The hostess couldn't help but smile.

At first glance, this old gentleman seemed very unapproachable, and he should be very concerned about his own image. After getting in touch with him, I found that this was not the case at all. He often laughed at himself, and made fun of himself like this. During this short lunch, Just several times.

If you add in the ridicule of Britain and Europe, it would be even more. This is one of the reasons why the atmosphere of today's lunch is particularly good - a potential negative factor turned out to be the most positive factor.

Feng Yiping could see that when East did this, he naturally wanted to integrate into the new group as soon as possible, so he was somewhat deliberately trying to please him, but he was happy to see such behavior.

This shows that East is very utilitarian and ambitious, which is better than him being an old British man who has few pursuits and is old-fashioned and stubborn.

Everyone came to the lounge together. Since the hostess was not here, East made a few more gentle jokes. Fu Guo was already very good at these things.

Seeing Cummins and several other Americans laughing so hard, Feng Yiping couldn't help but sigh, as long as he wanted to express himself, people of East's age could probably leave the impression of a treasured grandpa.

Cummins smiled and said, "Warren, I'm already looking forward to your coming to Silicon Valley. Those days will definitely be very interesting,"

“I’m also really looking forward to getting to Silicon Valley soon,” East said.

At this time, everyone knows Feng Yiping's opinion. After ARM is officially acquired, East and other senior executives will go to Silicon Valley in batches to have a look - in fact, it is similar to learning.

"In the past few decades, I have spent most of my time in Cambridge. I have too many acquaintances. Sometimes I often find an acquaintance in front of me on the road, so I have to stand still in the street until the other person completely disappears from sight."

"It's the same in the supermarket. I often meet friends. After saying hello, I often start to sneak around like a thief, for fear of running into him again,"

"When I arrived in Silicon Valley, phew, I could finally escape from this situation temporarily,"

"Hahaha," everyone couldn't help laughing again. This old gentleman was serious about making fun of himself.

"Warren, you must stay," Cummins looked at his watch. "The next scene will be very exciting."

He looked at Feng Yiping, "Yes, boss,"

Feng Yiping nodded and shook his head, "You,"

This guy really likes scenes like that.

Cummings smiled, and Feng Yiping also smiled, "We still have to save some face for them,"

Of course East would not miss such an opportunity.

Such a proud incident will definitely be a scene that Cummins and the others will often mention in the future. Participating in this matter together will naturally further promote their friendship.

The so-called three major irons in China are of this nature.

"I'm happy to, but Feng, when it comes to semiconductor companies, have you ever considered STMicroelectronics? It seems that their current situation is not optimistic,"

"I think they would be happy to work with you on a capital level,"

Feng Yiping looked at the ceiling, "STMicroelectronics, of course I want to,"

STMicroelectronics is a company more powerful than Qimonda's parent company Infineon. It is the largest semiconductor company in Europe. Since its establishment in the late 1980s, it has been one of the top ten semiconductor companies in the world.

It is world-leading in several fields, such as dedicated analog chips, power conversion chips, set-top box chips, etc., and its development in communications, computers, automobiles and other fields is also very balanced. Of course, Feng Yiping is enthused.

"But this company involves too many things," he shook his head. "It's difficult to acquire it as a whole, and I don't want to be just a pure financial investor."

STMicroelectronics, as its name suggests, is the product of the merger of two companies in Italy and France. The two merged companies, whether it is Italy's SGS Microelectronics or France's Thomson Semiconductor, are STMicroelectronics' leading semiconductor companies. Leader in the field.

Qimonda was acquired by Feng Yiping. The concerned regulatory agencies in Germany and the EU may not care at this time, but if Infineon is acquired, neither Germany nor the EU will agree, let alone STMicroelectronics. .

At this time, Cummins and the others thought of the boss's Chinese identity. If the boss was an American, then the territory of his career would soon leave Gates and the others far behind.

But East was shocked by Feng Yiping's financial resources at this time.

It sounds like Feng Yiping has no financial pressure to acquire STMicroelectronics, but it is a company with an annual revenue of more than 10 billion US dollars. Such a company can also be acquired by acquisition. Is he already better than Gates? Want to be rich?

He said, “If it weren’t for such artificial barriers, both our trade volume and our semiconductor-related technologies would definitely be much higher than they are now,”

Cummins and others also agreed, and Feng Yiping smiled, "If the governments of the United States and Britain can have this understanding, that would be really good news. Oh, I'm sorry, I'll take a call,"

"Happy New Year. How about the Spring Festival Gala?" he asked.

Jin Ling didn't sound too happy, "Yiping, I just learned some news,"

Feng Yiping frowned as he listened, "Really?"

"Yes, although they haven't made an announcement yet, there is already relevant news on the Internet. They should have been in contact with Qimonda," Jin Ling said with certainty.

"Moreover, the local government, the provincial government, has also made such a statement,"

Feng Yiping stood up. This was an opponent he had never expected.

This opponent is really tricky.

"Samsung must be behind this," he said.

It is not incomprehensible that some listed companies are interested in Qimonda.

Recently, some powerful domestic companies really want to take advantage of the financial crisis and go to Europe and the United States to bargain-hunt, but this company is a state-owned enterprise.

Really, if state-owned enterprises could respond so quickly, we would have achieved moderate prosperity in all respects and steadily entered the level of moderate prosperity.

He also didn't believe that the relevant governments would be so active on New Year's Eve. This must be driven by others, but he had some impressions of the company Jin Ling mentioned, although it had software and hardware. There are some achievements when it comes to this, but among domestic high-tech companies, they are still not top-notch. It is difficult for them to push the local government to make such a statement so quickly.

However, it is useless to know that Samsung is behind this. It is not easy to say to that company, especially the government behind that company, stop making trouble, spend the New Year at home, and make way for me. open?

"My first feeling is that that company does not have the strength to acquire Qimonda as a whole," he thought for a moment.

Although Qimonda's current market value is less than 100 million euros, when its market value was at its highest, it exceeded US$5 billion. When the company came forward to acquire Qimonda, it still sounded like a snake swallowing an elephant.

"Investigating their financial status, we must first rule out the possibility that they just want to use this news to mislead investors and manipulate the stock market,"

Sorry, as a poor man who had suffered losses in the stock market, this was the first thing he thought of.

"Funding is not a problem," Jin Ling said.

"Yes," Feng Yiping also understood this at this time. It was a state-owned enterprise, and the local government expressed support, so why worry about money?

"It will take time to rule out the latter possibility. Yiping, you have to be prepared," Jin Ling paused. "The latest news is that the prince of Samsung is also planning to fly to Munich immediately,"

This is even more unmistakable, it must be them behind it.

"I understand," Feng Yiping put down the phone, "Cummins, the situation has changed. The scene you are looking forward to may not appear as scheduled."
