Chapter 1624: Investing in ARM

While chatting with Zhang Ruiqiang, Feng Yu's phone rang, and it was Ralph.

"Boss, we failed to acquire the ARM shares held by other companies, but I negotiated with ARM to invest in the name of AMD Semiconductor, Eagle Weida, Kingston and other companies. And I contacted Liu, and then included Even Xiang Group, Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, Taihua Crystal Silicon and other companies will also invest in shares."

"These companies offered a total of one billion US dollars in exchange for 20% of the shares, and 20% of the voting shares. I am still negotiating with Liu about the specific details, but there is no problem with ARM. Mr. Kirilenko has acquired more than 60% of the voting shares. After dilution by our shareholding, it will probably account for about 51%.”

As a result, Kirilenko and Feng Yu's subsidiaries controlled more than two-thirds of the voting shares, and they already had an absolute right to speak on the company's board of directors.

"Well done. Remember, if I have not ordered you to do anything about the company, then fully support Kirilenko's decision." Feng Yu ordered.

"I understand, boss. If it wasn't for the help of Mr. Kirilenko, we would not have succeeded in buying shares. Although there is a premium, we have evaluated the potential of this company. Enterprises can form complementary advantages, and we will never lose money.”

When Ralph was initially ordered by Feng Yu to go to ARM to negotiate, buy some voting shares from other shareholders, or invest in shares, he asked the company to make an assessment.

At the beginning, he still felt that the technology of this company overlapped with that of Chaowei, and they were all processors.

But Chaowei said that the two sides are actually very different. Chaowei's main business is computer and server processors, while ARM mainly makes microprocessors, which are used in mobile phones, PDAs, set-top boxes, and some CNC machines and electrical appliances.

In this regard, ARM is not only mature in technology, but also the most powerful. Even Intel has purchased some patent licenses from ARM.

And he also learned that this ARM has shares in so many big companies, but it has less than 2,000 employees, and its main income is from patent licensing.

ARM can't produce it by itself, but Chaowei, or Taihua Crystal Silicon, etc. have strong production capacity. This combination will definitely make more money.

Although there is a lot of premium, relying on the strong brand effects of Fengyu Holding Group and Taihua Holding Group, their road to becoming a shareholder is not that difficult.

If it is to acquire other people's shares like Kirilenko did, it will definitely cost more money.

Moreover, ARM not only has a lot of patented technologies now, but also has many pending applications. Although it is not as good as those old big companies, they often have tens of thousands of patents.

But their patents are very new and very practical.

Ralph heard from Feng Yu that the market for microprocessors will definitely increase in the future, such as smartphones, tablet computers, smart home appliances, etc., all need this.

Although it seems that the smartphone market is far inferior to feature phones, it has developed rapidly in recent years. Especially the samples in the laboratory, it is really not inferior to the PDAs of previous years.

So Feng Yu said that smartphones will dominate the mobile phone market in the future, and Ralph believed it.

There is also the tablet computer. Although the laboratory has not yet produced a finished product, and many technologies have not yet met the requirements, Ralph also believes in Feng Yu, because Feng Yu's predictions have never been missed!

Smart home appliances, home appliance companies all over the world are doing it. Among them, European and Asian products are in the leading position, while the United States is very weak.

European companies such as Ximenzi, Philips, and Thomson are all leaders in home appliances. There are more in Asia, including a group of island countries, two South Koreans, and many Chinese.

Even many home appliance brands in China are already number one in the world. For example, Granz microwave ovens,

For example, Geli's air conditioner, Haier's washing machine and refrigerator, Changhong's TV, etc., are all famous in the world.

Even now that Huaxia's brand called Haier has been able to wrestle with Thomson in the North American market, Huaxia is really a country that is good at creating miracles.

Since so many companies are likely to become ARM customers in the future, this investment will definitely not lose money.

What's more, after this equity replacement, when ARM stock resumes trading, the stock price will definitely rise, at least on the books, they will not lose money.

"Remember, we need to find more customers for ARM and license ARM's patents to more companies."

Ralph asked with some surprise: "Boss, ARM has a lot of patents and it's very good. Shouldn't we suggest technology blockade?"

"No, no patent is completely irreplaceable, it's just a matter of time. If we license it to other companies, they will produce according to our ideas. In this case, they will lag behind us for a long time. time."

"In the simplest terms, the more companies we authorize, the more profits we get. And when the number of companies authorized by us reaches a certain number, we will become the only standard in the microprocessor industry!"

When other companies adopt ARM's patented technology, and the product architecture is based on ARM's, the original architecture of these companies will be gradually replaced, and it is very likely that they will be inseparable from ARM's patent authorization.

In this way, even if they make some changes, they still make changes on this basis, and they still have to pay patent fees, so ARM can continue to make profits and has always been in a leading position.

The implementation of any standard requires more business support. No industry has a unique standard, whose standard is more recognized mainly depends on the support of peers.

"Boss, I understand. I think Philips is also a shareholder of ARM, so we won't participate in Europe. We are in America to win more customers."

"Okay, let the Asian side be handed over to Taihua Holding Group. You don't have to worry too much. There will definitely be more companies who will take the initiative to join our camp!"

After hanging up Ralph's phone, Feng Yu saw Zhang Ruiqiang smoking a cigarette boredly.

"Old Zhang, don't you understand English?" Feng Yu asked proudly.

Zhang Ruiqiang pouted: "English is just a skill, that's what you said. I don't know English, but I know other skills."

"That's right, leaders like you always bring translators when you go out, and you don't need to understand yourself."

"What translation is needed, Xiao Zhao is proficient in English."

"Okay, okay, is your secretary good? By the way, I have another good thing for you, do you want to hear it?"
