Chapter 2887: Advance and Retreat
While Feng Yiping was busy, others were not idle either. When he sent away representatives from six storage factories on the other side of the river, Qimonda's Vice President Peter Seifot also started a discussion with Jiangtian Group and related parties. A new round of negotiations began.
There was ice and snow outside the window, but the room was as warm as spring. Sitting in the warm conference room, Seifute used a handkerchief to wipe his head, which was as smooth as an egg shell several times. It was not that he was sweating because of the heat, but the warmth made him feel dizzy. Even more dizzy.
After the luncheon at noon, Saiford, who had a personal experience of China's national conditions, had a question that puzzled him: why is Russian vodka so famous, but Chinese liquor has no name?
Its power is also at the level of depth charges, right?
As a professional manager, Seifert would not drink too much at noon, but he believed that if any of the company's executives were to change places with him, the results would only be worse.
The enthusiasm of the host is really irresistible. Just imagine, when a young and beautiful girl holds two glasses of wine and says she has two glasses and you have one, can you not drink two glasses?
When those high-status officials are waiting for you with a glass of hospitality while the translator is translating, how can you refuse to clink a glass with him?
That kind of exquisite-looking wine glass was also one of the reasons why he drank too much without realizing it. Thinking that one cup was only a small sip, sometimes he couldn't help but feel generous...
At this time, seeing that the other person who also attended the noon banquet was still full of energy and conscious, he was asking his colleagues about Qimonda's situation in Germany, mainly about the support provided by the German government to Qimonda. Saifut couldn't help but feel I sincerely admire you, awesome!
It just sounded like he felt that because of the intervention of those officials, the talks seemed to have gradually deviated from the subject and turned into a discussion of how the German government and various parts of Germany treat foreign investment.
As for our own personnel, probably because they were in a similar state to myself, they didn't feel there was anything wrong with this at all.
He raised his eyes and looked at the dull sky outside the window. He felt like he was about to float. He knew that he should wash his face with cold water.
When he came back again, he listened patiently as the two parties continued to talk about the somewhat deviant topic. However, after a few minutes, he still couldn't suppress it. In the excitement of drinking, he interrupted everyone's discussion rudely, "Everyone , everyone, I’m sorry,”
He drew everyone's attention to himself, "Through the contact from yesterday to today, we have clearly understood your company's strength and pursuit. I believe that your company has already understood the advantages of Qimonda,"
“I think Qimonda will definitely be the best choice to help your company realize its pursuit. Although the current operating situation is not optimistic, up to now, Qimonda’s core technology, whether it is process or technology, has always been memory. Market leader,"
"Our technology and craftsmanship are not only advanced, but also very reliable. Just like German cars, they are very trustworthy,"
He saw two people opposite him laughing and whispering a few words after hearing what he said. What, did I say it wrong?
"In addition to having a complete set of advanced technologies, we also have a first-class team of engineers. I believe that with their guidance, our Chinese friends who are good at learning will be able to quickly produce high-quality products,"
The president of Jiangtian Group smiled, "Mr. Saifu, we are very sure about this. The key point we want to know today is your company's technical reserves."
But your pace is too slow!
"Because I really hope to cooperate with your company, I would like to reveal a piece of news to you,"
The entourage was already reminding him in a low voice, "Mr. President,"
Saifut appreciates such cooperation from his subordinates, which will highlight my sincerity.
Regardless of the obstruction of his subordinates, he insisted, "I believe you also know that there are other companies that are very interested in acquiring Qimonda. In addition to Mr. Feng, Samsung also has a very strong desire,"
The other party was obviously more anxious, and looked at him with gratitude and expectation.
Saifut decided to live up to their expectations. "The news I received is that Samsung Group has made significant progress with us. They made an offer yesterday, and maybe the relevant agreement will be signed today,"
"So everyone," he stood up, "I may not be polite when I say this, but I want to say that if you don't hurry up, then when it's business hours in Munich in a few hours, you There is a real possibility of losing this opportunity,"
"After losing this opportunity, I am very worried for you,"
"Besides Qimonda, what other options do you have? Yes, although the situation of Micron and Elpida is also not optimistic, we all know the attitude of the United States and Japan towards your country in relevant aspects,"
"Even in this general environment, I think it will still be difficult for Chinese companies to acquire American and Japanese semiconductor companies,"
He saw that the other party's expression became serious.
"That is to say, Europe is relatively loose in this regard, and now it coincides with the financial crisis, so there will be no relevant restrictions."
"Everyone," he concluded sincerely, "this is a very rare opportunity, and I really don't want you to pass it by!"
"Mr. Saeford, thank you for your candid words." After pondering, the person in charge of Jiangtian Group stood up, "Can you adjourn the meeting temporarily? We need to discuss it."
Two hours later, Seford got the answer he wanted. The other conditions were the same as Samsung's, but in terms of the acquisition price, they were $200 million higher than Samsung, a full $1 billion!
Like Mr. Luo yesterday, Seford suppressed his joy, "I will report this news to Germany immediately, but regarding the acquisition price, we believe that at least $1.4 billion can reflect the value of Qimonda,"
Just like Mr. Luo thought, since the other party offered $1 billion, maybe it could be raised to $1.2 billion.
…………
When the news reached Munich, the morning sun had just risen. Mr. Luo, who received the news, knew that he should be happy, but he was a little unhappy. It was $200 million higher than Samsung's offer, which was difficult to deal with!
From the company's perspective, of course Jiang Tian's conditions were better, but from his personal perspective, Samsung was undoubtedly more favorable... Headache!
It turned out that such a happy headache was also a headache.
President Li of Samsung received the relevant news in the gym. He only glanced at Jiang Tian's offer. Luo, how should you choose?
When he saw the news about Feng Yiping, he immediately became serious.
Met with the five representatives of the six major companies and talked for nearly three hours?
And $10 billion?
Vice President Li, who was still a little out of breath from the exercise, immediately determined that this must be a move against his own company.
He became nervous.
If the six companies were integrated, they would occupy 30% of the entire market, that is, a force that would directly shake his own company.
Can the integration be successful?
Although such an integration is very difficult considering factors other than economics, it is not completely impossible.
The person in charge is Feng Yiping.
Feng Yiping has done something so publicly before.
"What do you think in China?" He asked while analyzing it himself.
It will definitely be difficult to integrate the six major companies. At least the Powerchip and Rexchip owned by Mr. Huang are closer to the Japanese Elpida.
But given the current situation of Elpida, especially if Qimonda has not closed down, Elpida may be the next to fall... So, Feng Yiping may really succeed in the integration.
But considering Feng Yiping's determination to the media, if the original plan is implemented, will Qimonda be returned to Feng Yiping?
At present, Qimonda is still the best ladder for Feng Yiping to realize his dream of memory chips.
He also had a headache.
In particular, he did not have the final decision-making power on this matter, and the person who had the final decision-making power did not express his attitude yet.
"Domestic attitude? Arrange a safe line, I want to talk to the country," he said.
…………
Feng Yiping, who was far away in Hong Kong, could fully imagine that President Li, who had just woken up, would have some headaches.
This was the reason why he and Jin Ling kept it a secret. The focus of the talks with the five people was not on any results. In view of their actions, he actually did not want to save them from the dire situation.
The focus of the talks with the five people was to let the relevant people, such as President Li and his son, see it.
Hehe, now you have a headache!
At this time, he also received the news he was waiting for. When he saw Jiang Tian eagerly quoted a purchase price of 1 billion US dollars, but still did not start raising funds, he immediately understood why Jiang Tian's actions were so contradictory.
Lao Li, Lao Li, you are really very skillful, but, is this method a bit damaging?
