Once Jeff's ideological work was done, the acquisition of Palm became much easier.

After all, Jeff is a person who knows the roots of Palm Company, and Yuanqi Technology proposed this acquisition, with his guidance behind it, and it will definitely not be raised by 3Com.

So after a few haggling sessions, 3Com agreed to hand over the ownership of Palm neatly on the terms of a free license and a $30 million purchase price for PalmOS in the future.

$30 million, compared with the current hundreds of millions of dollars in the Internet industry, although it is not much. But for 3Com, it's already earned.

Because when they acquired it from Jeff Hawkins, it didn't cost that much money.

In contrast, they are already earning on their books. In addition, although Palm is independent, the PDA business with net cash flow is still under the company's name, which can be said to be a steady profit.

Of course, in the initial negotiations, 3Com did not want to be such a Chinese company that suddenly appeared.

But soon some people thought that there was a giant involved in the acquisition of Netscape that was rumored to be a Chinese company, and its name seemed to be this one.

Netscape's acquisition has shaken Silicon Valley and the Internet industry.

That's a massive multi-billion dollar merger.

The strength of any company that dares to take over should not be underestimated.

As a result, the senior management of 3Com also had to look at Yuanqi Technology differently.

At this time, looking back, the strategic cooperation conditions and agreement framework proposed by the other party no longer seem to be as empty as a piece of paper, but deeply scratch the itch of the company's future globalization strategy.

As a global supplier of communication equipment, 3Com is destined to expand and penetrate the Asia-Pacific market. Among them, Huaxia is the most important market that is not easy to ignore.

In this blueprint concept, if there is a win-win cooperation with such an influential local enterprise as Yuanqi Technology, then the market expansion of 3Com will undoubtedly be much faster.

Two days later, when Wu Tao took Yang Ge and a few people and Jeff to see off the senior management of 3Com at the headquarters of Palm Company, everyone still felt a little stunned.

Especially Jeff, he found that what he had been thinking about for a long time was actually in the hands of others, and it was easily done.

It's true, there is no contrast, there is no harm.

And Yang Ge and Leng Ning, these subordinates, felt something else in their hearts.

As a Chinese enterprise, it finally completed the acquisition of the first foreign-funded enterprise. That feeling is quite a bit of the joy and pride of turning over the serf and singing.

Especially since the process was so smooth that it took almost no effort.

Leng Ning hugged the acquisition contract and various documents that had just been signed, and said with a sincere face: "Boss, why do I always feel that any difficult matter has become so simple and easy in your hands?"

Wu Tao smiled and didn't take credit, and said generously: "These are inseparable from everyone's joint efforts." ”

Not wanting to be an American, Jeff replied more seriously, "No, Wu, this is indeed your credit." You accurately grabbed the other party's G-spot and made them have to agree, which I admire. ”

Yang Ge nodded.

Leng Ning asked inexplicably, "What is the G-spot?"

The question was suddenly embarrassing. As an American, Jeff said that these words were taken for granted, but he would not explain them to strange Chinese women.

Yang Ge, who has studied in the United States for several years, is no stranger to this term. But how can this explanation be spoken?

After all, it's something that involves privacy.

Fortunately, Wu Tao replied without changing his face, "It's probably equivalent to scratching an itch." ”

Palm has arrived, and in addition to the PDA business personnel who have been spun off, there are about twenty or thirty members left in the entire PalmOS development team.

Such a team is naturally not enough for the future development strategy of PalmOS.

However, the future is long, the team has to expand, the work has to be carried out, and these have to be done slowly.

Until a new team leader is hired, Jeff Hawkins is temporarily in charge of the Palm team.

At the Palm company, a bottle of champagne was opened, and after a brief celebration, Wu Tao led people to leave first.

PalmOS is under its umbrella, and the goal of Wu Tao's trip to the United States has been half completed.

As for the remaining half, it is in full swing.

In the evening, the night is like water.

Lying on the rattan chair in the backyard, Wu Tao looked at the blue night sky, full of joy and joy.

It was a rare quiet night that Molly didn't come to disturb, both in her ears and in front of her.

Of course, this is not Molly's conscience, sensible and general.

But this time the plan of AOL stock to sit in the bank to attract the king into the urn has reached the most critical time, and Molly, as the biggest dealer behind the scenes, will naturally not be distracted.

In fact, not only Molly is working overtime, but even Qin Xiaoxiao and Wu Yingying, who are cooperating with the other party's actions, are also busy and have not returned yet.

But the plan has been going on so far, almost a week of work, and I think it should be almost ready to close the net.

While pondering, there were voices and movements in the front yard.

Not long after, Qin Xiaoxiao dragged her tired body through the hall, and the whole person lay down on the beach chair next to Wu Tao, and let out a sigh of relief from the inside out.

Wu Tao raised his eyes and looked at the living room, Wu Yingying was sitting in front of the bar, holding a bottle of drink, and her spirit was not much better.

"How's it going, isn't it time to close the net?"

Qin Xiaoxiao almost fell asleep with her eyes closed, and when she heard this, she opened her eyelids again and said, "According to the plan with Miss Molly, it's almost time to withdraw in batches." At present, the book surplus is about 10 points, almost $40 million in earnings. ”

That's not bad.

After investing 400 million yuan and working hard in a week, the funds for the acquisition of Palm were earned.

It felt like making a Palm company for nothing.

After being happy, Wu Tao agreed: "If you want to withdraw, hurry up and withdraw, be careful that Molly's side moves quickly and traps us." ”

As soon as Wu Tao reminded him like this, Qin Xiaoxiao's sleepiness suddenly disappeared by seven or eight points.

In the past few days of fighting side by side, she has long regarded Molly as a close partner. But now that I think about it, this idea is actually a bit naïve.

In the world of capital, there is no affection at all.

Especially for Molly, who plays with capital all day long, as long as it is beneficial to the quantum fund, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Then again, even if Molly has a little bit of that meaning to her boss, she still has to guard against it.

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people!

Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go and discuss with Yingying." ”

Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao's mind had just relaxed, and she slipped up again, Wu Tao decisively interrupted: "Don't worry, I don't care about this night's work." By the way, tell me, what's going on with Howard, has he been hooked?"
