Chapter 2872 New Proposal
Seeing Feng Yiping standing at the top of the stairs, Peter Bauer stretched out his hand from afar, "Feng, I'm sorry,"
Feng Yiping took his hand and said, "Welcome to be our guest," he pointed at Cummins and the others, "You should all know these guys. This one is the CEO of ARM, Warren East."
Peter Bauer immediately said, "Hello Warren, nice to see you again, congratulations on joining Feng's family soon,"
They were both in the same European area, and they were considered peers. Although they had not had close friendship before, they all had a familiar face.
"I am very envious of ARM's future development. I believe that with the cooperation between you and Feng, ARM can develop by leaps and bounds like all companies acquired by Feng,"
"Thank you Peter," East knew that he was mainly speaking to Feng Yiping, but he still had to express his gratitude.
As for the leapfrog development that Peter Bauer mentioned, he said to himself that you have really underestimated my new boss. Is it a leapfrog development, or a leap of 25 times the growth rate?
Cummings looked at Peter Bauer with a smile and expressed his admiration for East. He really wanted to ridicule him several times. Didn't you have no chance?
However, seeing that Peter Bauer came alone, Mr. Luo, who knew Qimonda, apparently insisted on returning to Germany after learning the new information. He somewhat sympathized with this man who was so unruly. The CEO of the company, coupled with Feng Yiping's instructions, finally acted like a half-master and was quite polite.
But being as kind as Feng Yiping is really not his character, so he still asked knowingly, "Mr. Power, why did you come to London?"
"This," Peter Bauer put down his teacup and looked at Feng Yiping, "Feng, I'm here to tell you..."
"Mr. Power," Feng Yiping interrupted, "Today is the Chinese New Year. On this day, we generally don't talk about unpleasant things,"
"As for your purpose of coming, we think we all know it, so you are welcome to come and have tea,"
But perhaps because Feng Yiping said he was not resolute yesterday, Peter Bauer was very resolute today, "Feng, I originally came to London with Luo. You should be able to guess the intention. We all hope that, at least, I especially I hope to have an in-depth discussion with you on the acquisition of Qimonda,"
"But once we arrived in London, things started to change."
He looked at Feng Yiping. He believed that Feng Yiping should know what these so-called new changes specifically referred to, but Feng Yiping just looked at him quietly with his tea cup in hand.
He had no choice but to continue, "Ronald has returned to Munich because of this. I took the liberty of visiting, mainly to express my apology."
Feng Yiping waved his hand again, "Peter, I can call you that. I said we won't talk about these unpleasant issues today,"
That's the second time you've said "upset," Peter Ball thought, so it really upsets you.
"I am very happy that so many people can celebrate the Spring Festival with me in London today. I am also really happy that you can come. If it is convenient, you are also welcome to attend tonight's Spring Festival dinner,"
"According to our traditional calendar, today is the last day of the year. I thought about it, this past year," he smiled, "it was still a small achievement."
Cummins immediately said, "Boss, this is not the time for you to be humble. If you think that you have made a small gain in this past year, doesn't it mean that our work achievements this year are actually quite considerable?" Difference?"
"Haha, I'm sorry. Let me adjust it. This past year, because of everyone's outstanding performance, we have achieved great results in all aspects of business." He raised his tea cup. "I thank you."
Cummins looked at his companions with a smile, "Boss, if we can get a year-end bonus today, then we guarantee that our achievements next year will be even better,"
Peter Bauer is a little sour. Feng Yiping's achievements in the past year can be said to be unprecedented. All the original businesses have been booming, and some areas that he has been investing in have finally begun to have products. For example, the Android phone has been officially launched and has been popular, and Tesla has been produced in small batches.
He has also successfully acquired some promising companies, such as Twitter and ARM.
I heard that he has made great achievements in the financial field and successfully invested in a series of famous companies, including Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs...
It can be said that he has gained a lot this year, but looking back at himself, the market value of the second largest semiconductor company in Europe has dropped to less than 1 billion euros.
It seems that in the new year, Feng Yiping will definitely achieve good results in various aspects, but for Infineon, 2009 will still be a year full of huge challenges.
If he knew the common saying in our country, he would have sighed at this time, it is true that comparing people to others means death, and comparing goods has to be thrown away.
But he was a little strange. Why did Feng Yiping say this in front of him?
Showing off? Absolutely not, then he is not a person who likes to show off.
"According to our traditional calendar, next year will be the first day of the New Year, and I have to go home to prepare to pay New Year greetings to my elders, relatives and friends,"
Is Feng Yiping saying that he is planning to return to China tomorrow?
Peter Bauer suddenly panicked. The reason why he still insisted on meeting Feng Yiping alone after Mr. Luo returned to Germany was of course that he still hoped to make a breakthrough in the acquisition of Qimonda.
But it seemed that Feng Yiping had no interest in Qimonda.
This...he suddenly became anxious. Feng Yiping lost interest in Qimonda. This was not a simple matter.
He knew very well that once Samsung learned about Feng Yiping's return to China tomorrow, President Xiao Li, who directly represented Chairman Li of Samsung, would definitely change his attitude.
Feng Yiping is not interested in Qimonda. Samsung will only wait for it to go bankrupt soon. How can it acquire it?
Peter Bauer knows that during this special time this year, Samsung Group, like many multinational companies, does not have sufficient funds.
What's more, Samsung's own memory department is currently experiencing large losses.
As for the Chinese company that Mr. Luo is also very interested in, Peter Bauer did not associate their appearance with Samsung. But so far, although that company has expressed its intention to fully acquire Qimonda, it has not been heard. He said he had no intention of sending anyone to negotiate immediately.
But Qimonda’s days now are really measured in days. Perhaps, when the company really sends people here, they can come across Qimonda’s auctioned assets after bankruptcy...
"Feng, I'm very sorry. I didn't expect such a change to happen today, but please believe me, I know you are the one who really wants to save Qimonda. I very much hope to further discuss this issue with you,"
"At the same time, please believe in my determination. I have proposed to convene Qimonda's board of directors. The main topic of the meeting is to replace the person in charge of Qimonda..."
Feng Yiping waved his hand again, "Thank you Peter, but no need."
"Why bother? Qimonda is almost gone. It's unnecessary to replace its person in charge at this time,"
"No, Feng, please give me a little more time..."
"Haha Peter, I also want to tell you that tomorrow is the first day of our New Year. On this day, everyone hopes to have a good sign and bring good luck to the new year. Therefore, I will follow you tomorrow. Some of the old friends you are familiar with are also from our country. You know, some companies in that area, such as Promos, Nanya, and Powerchip, will meet."
"Their lives are not easy now, and the local government seems to be unable to provide them with much help. As it happens, I currently have a lot of idle funds in my account, so I am prepared to spend 10 billion U.S. dollars. Stay with them through these difficult times,"
Peter Bauer restrained himself from swallowing his saliva, but that was 10 billion US dollars!
He believed that at such a difficult moment and in the face of such a golden bullet, Feng Yiping really had a great possibility to perfectly integrate the important forces in the semiconductor industry, which he called the manufacturers in their region. stand up.
If you add in the several foundries in that area that are also in very difficult conditions, this is definitely a big move that can change the semiconductor landscape.
After integrating those companies, as long as he is willing to invest, then there is really no need for him to acquire a company like Qimonda.
Feng Yiping made a helpless expression, "Who made me really care about semiconductors?"
Hearing his words, Peter Bauer, who didn't know what to say at first, was moved in his heart, "Feng, in this case, I have a new proposal,"
Feng Yiping's expression remained unchanged, "Oh, really?"
Cummins lowered his head, and East couldn't help but look at Feng Yiping. Sure enough!
My boss is awesome!
