Chapter 2900 Simply
When the two girls fell asleep, the news about Feng Yiping's investment in Infineon and the transfer of 77.5% of Qimonda shares held by Infineon had become a hot topic on the domestic Internet.
Even during the Spring Festival, even if people would drink a little wine at night, many people would still insist on spending some time on the Internet before going to bed without any purpose, and then they would speak out about the exciting news.
In the past two days, the hot topics of online news have changed from freezing rain in the south to various behind-the-scenes stories of this year's Spring Festival Gala, including how to save money in this year's Spring Festival Gala, etc. But frankly speaking, not many people are willing to pay attention to those things. They didn't even watch the Spring Festival Gala for a few minutes, okay?
But this is the hot news, you have no choice. At such a dull and helpless time, this news quickly aroused everyone's high enthusiasm.
We have only been looking forward to it for two days, and Feng Yiping actually did it quietly?
Later, a netizen in South Korea broke the news that Samsung, which has been stirring up trouble in China these two days, has been facing various criticisms in South Korea. After sending the head of the semiconductor company, Quan Wuxuan, it also sent the prince yesterday to Munich urgently. This shows Samsung's determination to acquire Qimonda.
Originally, I was worried that there might be variables, but I didn't expect that the prince was rushing to congratulate our General Manager Feng?
Although the revelations of these netizens in South Korea are not detailed, they make everyone very excited. This matter is so exciting? This matter is very encouraging!
Many people even said that this is the best New Year's gift I have received...
But for others, this news does not make them excited at all.
In the evening, when Qimonda's Saifud and his group left in a low mood, Jiang Tian and his group, although a little regretful, were actually relieved. It is not bad to let them know some of the truth at this time.
Although many of the reasons why they jumped out were because of Samsung's mobilization and promises, and although they were indeed attracted to Qimonda during the process and considered the possibility of a comprehensive acquisition, they quickly gave up this possibility.
Although the acquisition of Qimonda at this time can be said to be a bargain, in the current environment of the financial crisis, the acquisition of a European company requires approval from the higher authorities, and the resources and energy required will not be small.
The important thing is that it may not necessarily succeed.
Even if the acquisition is successful, integration is also a worrying hurdle.
In the past two years, the acquisitions of European companies by state-owned enterprise peers have left behind all lessons.
Even if they are more optimistic, the integration can also be successful. They still have no confidence in really making this area open. How can the chip industry be played without tens of billions of dollars?
Tens of billions of dollars, nearly 100 billion yuan of investment... This made them consciously and wisely give up this idea.
Even if they have the heart to make achievements and aspire to launch a big satellite, such a big project is definitely not something that a company like them can handle. Even the most respected key companies of senior officials may not be able to handle it.
Moreover, the benefits of this project are really worrying. Look at the companies that are in the game now, including Samsung, which one is not losing a lot?
Qimonda is not the first martyr, and it will never be the last.
Spending astronomical amounts of money, but the result may be an astronomical loss? We still want to be promoted to a higher level next, so we should just run the current business peacefully.
On the other hand, they also understand that what Qimonda lacks most now is time, so since Samsung asked them to be thorough, they will be thorough. They have their own wisdom and always keep their eyes on Qimonda's research center in China.
The acquisition of that center will not be too much, but the gains will not be small. Based on the results of that center, if we invest more, maybe in a few years, we can really develop storage chip technology with our own intellectual property rights?
Spending little money to accomplish great things is our fine tradition and a decision that is easy to achieve political achievements.
But who would have thought that Feng Yiping, who seemed to have given up, would accept Qimonda so easily?
The more excited the netizens were, the more anxious they were.
All the senior executives of Jiangtian were mobilized at this time and were nervously contacting Samsung. You clearly promised that Qimonda's research center in China would definitely belong to us.
We cooperated so well for this, mobilized a lot of resources, and even played against Feng Yiping. Now you must give us an explanation...
But since the senior executives were mobilized, it fully shows that the communication was not smooth, because they could not contact the Li father and son at all.
This father and son are really unrefined!
So let it go?
If Samsung had not provoked this intention at the beginning, it would not matter, but now, if they were asked to give up, they really couldn't do it.
They held an emergency meeting and quickly decided to try to ensure that the original goal was achieved, even if Qimonda was taken over by Feng Yiping. So what?
From another perspective, this might be a more beneficial thing.
Maybe it would be easier to take Qimonda's research center in China from Feng Yiping than from Samsung as originally planned.
They finally became really active, fully mobilized all resources, and mobilized all the relationships within the system. They hoped to let Feng Yiping see their capabilities as soon as possible.
…………
In Munich not long after, when it was completely dark, Mr. Luo finally waited outside the airport for Peter Bauer who had hurried back from the UK.
The two of them, one was exhausted, and the other was waiting for work, but the exhausted one was relaxed and happy, while the one waiting for work was tired and angry.
Peter Bauer shook hands and hugged his colleagues who met him at the airport, and finally gestured to Mr. Luo, who had a gloomy face, "Walk with me?"
Mr. Luo got into his BMW coldly.
In the same car with you? I can't guarantee that I won't do anything radical.
As soon as Peter Bauer returned to the office, he pushed aside a bunch of waiting people and rushed in.
As soon as the secretary closed the door, a roar came from inside, "The board of directors has authorized me to contact all potential acquisition investors on behalf of Qimonda, right?"
"The board of directors also gave me the final decision-making power, right?"
President Luo put one hand on his waist and waved the other in the air, walking back and forth in front of the desk. It was the first time that Peter Bauer saw him so excited, "Relax, Luo,"
"Damn it, how can you let me relax?" President Luo rubbed his face hard with both hands, and then propped himself on the desk, facing Peter Bauer, "Do you know how I reacted after seeing the news from Bloomberg?"
"It was unbelievable, and I felt betrayed!"
"We thought of so many ways to get Samsung to agree to such good conditions, and finally successfully signed a contract with them, but as soon as we signed the contract, we found that it was invalid. A large group of us, a tense competition inside and outside the field for a day or two, turned out to be a farce?"
"Fuck..." He couldn't help but swear.
"Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you tell me about the relevant situation in advance? I am still the CEO of Qimonda, right?"
"Why didn't you ask for my opinion when signing such an agreement with Feng Yiping? It's only $500 million? I tell you, you are trying to get more investment from Infineon to get out of the current predicament, but you are ignoring the interests of Qimonda. I will definitely not agree. I will propose to convene a board meeting..."
"Enough!" Peter Bauer also stood up.
He gave Mr. Luo a fierce look, strode to the window, and said "Fuck him".
"Will informing you be useful? Have you forgotten how I begged you in London?" He turned around, "Yes, we have given you the relevant decision-making power through the board of directors, but have we given up the final decision-making power?"
"As the representative of the controlling shareholder, do I also have the right to decide in what way and with whom to cooperate?"
"Do you think that without the authorization and consent of the Infineon board of directors, we can sign those agreements today?"
"Why should I do this? This was originally your job? It was because when you led Qimonda to bankruptcy, you pushed away the most suitable partners several times."
"Samsung's offer of 800 million US dollars is enough?" He slammed the agreement on the table, "Look at their compensation for paying the 800 million US dollars and repaying the debt. If there is a supplementary clause, is it really better and more popular with shareholders than paying $500 million in a lump sum and paying off all debts within one month after the official handover? "
"More importantly, will it be more conducive to the future development of Qimonda?"
Mr. Luo was ready to defend himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth and said a word, "I...", he was immediately retorted by Peter Bauer, "From now on, I say, listen to me,"
"From the perspective of your career, I hope you will cooperate well with the subsequent handover work. If it is difficult, I don't mind replacing a CEO for Qimonda at this time,"
"It's not easy to find a CEO who can save Qimonda, but it's not easy to find a CEO who is responsible for the handover during the handover?"
Mr. Luo felt that his face was slapped.
"Do you have any objections?" Peter Bauer picked up the phone.
It was obvious that Mr. Luo had an opinion, and he immediately notified him of his intention to stop his position as CEO.
Facing such a wild Peter Bauer, Mr. Luo, who was just aggressive, lost his temper at this time.
"I have only one last proposal, let us hold the remaining 22.5% of the shares, at least, let our management hold our..."
"There is no such possibility," Peter Bauer said immediately, "I emphasize again, next, you just maintain the status quo and cooperate with the handover,"
He didn't know why Mr. Luo proposed this, but he just wanted to stay in Qimonda, or even seek to continue to lead Qimonda.
Tsk, it's a fantasy, he pointed to the door, "Now, close the door from the outside!"
Mr. Luo's face was livid, but he didn't move.
Peter Bauer picked up the phone again, "Then, don't worry about it, I'll let someone else take charge..."
"Bang," the door was shut heavily.
Peter Bauer put down the phone heavily and said again, "Fuck!"
