Just after New Year's Day, the delegation of Tianan Company led by Wu Tao and An Rong embarked on a trip to New York.

Although Wu Tao is not the first time to go, it is still the first time for everyone in Tian'an Company, and the novelty is self-evident.

In addition, this trip was to discuss the acquisition with IBM, a well-known IT foreign company, and it was also the first time that Tianan Company went abroad to acquire the business of foreigners, and they were generally filled with a lingering sense of pride.

After more than ten hours of flying, the plane finally hit the ground.

It was afternoon when I departed from Zhonghai, and it was almost afternoon when I arrived in New York, but it was a little later.

Ivanka, who had just returned to the family business to take care of the business, came to pick up the airport with the car in person.

Originally, the job of picking up the airport was Panis's, after all, New York is the base camp of the Morgan consortium.

But Panis couldn't get away because he was busy with official business in Zhonghai, so the job fell to Ivanka.

In this regard, Wu Tao doesn't care who comes.

In his opinion, it is better not to come.

It's just that the acquisition capital of Tian'an Company this time is as high as more than one billion US dollars, and Wu Tao does not plan to pay for this investment by Tianqi Investment alone, but from the accounts of various members of the strategic alliance.

So this trip naturally can't be hidden from them.

Fortunately, after Ivanka met An Rong, not only was there no accident, but she coped with it decently.

This made Wu Tao unexpectedly relieved.

Along the way, Wu Tao asked about what happened after Ivanka ended her modeling career and returned to the family business, and it could be seen that Ivanka adapted very well.

Not only is he like a fish in water, but also based on the accumulation of his modeling career, he has created a clothing brand and taken high-end positioning.

It really complements each other.

is really a foreign girl with business talent, coupled with this figure and appearance, ordinary people can't hold it at all.

The process was pleasant until the convoy arrived at the Hilton Hotel, the destination of the trip.

Wu Tao and others, under the guidance of Ivanka, just got off the bus and walked into the hall, when they met a group of Lenovo delegation who got out of the elevator and walked out, looking like a business negotiation.

Wu Tao may not know anyone else in Lenovo, but he is the most familiar with Liu Chuanzhi's face.

Of course, He Zhiqiang and others, who followed Liu Chuanzhi in person, and the members of the Tian'an delegation, are no strangers.

For a while, in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, there was quite a sense of sabre-rattling.

But competition is competition.

After all, they are all Chinese, and they can't behave like a ruthless and fighting face in a foreign country.

Then it really won't be on the table.

So after a short confrontation, Wu Tao shook the palm that Liu Chuanzhi took the initiative to stretch out, and he didn't know that he thought it was an old friend who had reunited for a long time and was greeting him.

"Welcome to the arrival of the Tian'an delegation, I thought you weren't going to come?" Liu Chuanzhi said quietly, but the implication was that he was carrying a gun and a stick, anyway, Wu Tao heard it.

So he responded with a smile: "Could it be that Mr. Liu has already finished talking with IBM, and if not, why don't we come?"

“...... But Lenovo can't wait to find a foreigner brand to decorate the façade this time, is it because independent research and development can't go on?"

Liu Chuanzhi's face twitched, and he said with a stiff smile: "To be honest, our negotiations with IBM are going fast and smooth, I hope you can keep up." ”

"That's really congratulations. Wu Tao nodded, "I hope Mr. Liu doesn't even want his nest for a mere laptop business." After all, we all started from the Chinese market, and we can't forget our roots. ”

Liu Chuanzhi's expression was pale, and then he covered up and said, "This doesn't bother Mr. Wu." ”

"Then good luck to you. After Wu Tao said these bright words, he let go of his hands, and the members of the two delegations left separately.

Leaving the Hilton Hotel, Liu Chuanzhi got into the car, and when he went to IBM headquarters, he muttered in his heart.

How did Wu Tao know that he had plans to move his headquarters to New York?

He did not tell anyone else about this except for Lenovo and the IBM representatives who participated in the negotiations.

Could it be that someone under his own umbrella is doing things inside and out, or does IBM know everything about Tian'an?

For a while, Liu Chuanzhi was full of doubts in his heart, and he wanted to make a quick decision for the next negotiations, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

In contrast, Wu Tao, who returned to the hotel, was not in a hurry.

Especially after entering the room, An Rong couldn't wait to get in touch with IBM and determine the schedule and plan for the negotiation as soon as possible, but was stopped by Wu Tao.

"Shouldn't we be tight?" An Rong was a little impatient, she interpreted Wu Tao's weightlifting as a mentality that it didn't matter to herself, "Looking at the association, it seems that the progress is very fast." ”

Wu Tao poured An Rong a glass of lemonade and said, "Don't worry, don't you? If you don't wait for us to make a price, IBM won't rush to sign a contract with Lenovo." ”

An Rong's heart moved, "Have you already dredged up the relationship and can speak on the board of directors of IBM?"

Wu Tao did not deny this, but he also did not admit it: "Since there is a chance to make more money, who will give up this opportunity? I think foreigners are definitely no exception." ”

Even so, An Rong still couldn't be idle, "Then what should we do now?"

Wu Tao drank the lemonade in the cup and said: "If you are really not tired, you can think about the form in which the funds for the acquisition of IBM-PC business will be introduced, and now I am going to take a jet lag and sleep." ”

An Rong opened the latest evaluation report made by Tianqi Investment on Tian'an, and when she saw it, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

The latest valuation of Cheonan is only $2 billion, which means that Cheonan will have to pay more than half of its shares if it wants to buy IBM-PC.

But unlike Lenovo, which has already gone public, the value of its shares is tangible.

However, the current valuation of Tianan Company is only a private evaluation, and no matter how fair and impartial it is, it cannot be used as a subject matter to acquire the business of another company.

Therefore, we can only use nearly half of the shares as an introduction to attract other capital to enter.

As for the amount of financing and the amount of shares, this is a debatable question.

These Wu Tao did not engage in a single word and made a direct decision, leaving it to An Rong to ponder and play by herself.

While An Rong was thinking about the financing plan, the Lenovo delegation left the IBM headquarters, and their morale was a little low.

got into the car, Liu Chuanzhi had a gloomy face and didn't say a word, so frightened that He Zhiqiang, who was accompanied by the co-pilot, didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Chuanzhi didn't understand, this negotiation has entered the final stage, obviously the other party has no opinion on the conditions he has put forward, why can't he still sign the contract?

Could it be that Wu Tao also has someone at the top of IBM?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Chuanzhi became more and more sure of his guess.

And in his opinion, this is also in line with the style of Chinese people who have to find someone to pull a relationship with every big and small matter.

Wu Tao was so good at idleness before, he must have relied on something.

In this way, even if you don't win, you won't be far away!

Thinking of this, Liu Chuanzhi looked up at the blue sky of New York, and became more and more depressed: that guy is definitely his nemesis, with him, he can't do anything!
