Chapter 350 Acquisition of "Ripper"

Xia Bing introduced the basic situation of Ruipo, and then said: "We analyzed that the reason why Ruipo failed to get the first financing was related to his three co-founders who couldn't see their own strength. ”

Yan Hanzhang pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Xia, is it possible to poach Dr. Yang Chenglin? As you know, the chip design company under Charm Technology has a relatively weak technical force, especially the lack of a technical leader like Dr. Yang. ”

Xia Bing shook his head, "I haven't been in contact with Ruipo Company yet, and I don't know Yang Chenglin's personality and behavior, so it's hard for me to answer this question." ”

Next, Xu Younian and Wan Qingshan both expressed their opinions, and generally tended to only poach people and not buy companies.

"I've listened to everyone's opinions, and your ideas are very good. However, there is one thing that you may have overlooked, that is, Ripper Company is a newly founded company founded by Yang Chenglin and the other two. Although their current funding situation is not optimistic, I don't think Dr. Yang Chenglin will easily give up on the project he founded himself.

So that's the end of today's regular meeting. I plan to go to the United States in person and meet with Dr. Yang Chenglin to see what he thinks. ”

Hu Yang thought about it and decided to go to the United States in person.

After eating at noon, Xu Younian and the others left the investment building. Before Xia Bing left, he also made a special trip to Hu Yang's office.

"Mr. Hu, why don't you let me go?"

Xia Bing felt that the North American company was in charge of himself, and it seemed a little unreasonable to ask the boss to personally take charge of a small acquisition.

Hu Yang smiled, "Mr. Xia, I just wanted to go to see the situation of North American companies and overseas research institutions, so I should meet Yang Chenglin by the way." ”

When Xia Bing saw Hu Yang say this, he stopped squeaking, and then returned to Xiangjiang.

Hu Yang immediately asked Lin Yan to arrange the itinerary, this time to the United States, in addition to bringing the people around him, he also named Shao Qing to bring him.

Shao Qing acted as Hu Yang's interpreter last time and accompanied him to the United States once.

Lin Yan quickly applied for a visa, and Hu Yang and his party set off from the deep sea, passed through RB Tokyo, and then flew directly to San Francisco.

"Mr. Hu, hello! Assistant Lin, hello!"

The person who came to the airport to greet him was the person in charge of the North American company, surnamed Liao. He used to work at the Huijia International Investment Headquarters in Hong Kong, and was transferred after the establishment of the North American company.

"Hello, Manager Liao. You send us to the hotel first, and I'll go to the company tomorrow. ”

Hu Yang smiled and shook hands with Manager Liao, and then everyone got into the car.

On this trip, in addition to Lin Yan, Han Wen, Li Jie, and Shao Qing, Hu Yang also brought Lu Dacheng, and the number of people was a little larger. Fortunately, Manager Liao brought an official car to pick up the airport, but he was able to sit down.

The hotel is still located at the Ritz-Carlton.

"Mr. Hu, Assistant Lin, then you can take a good rest. I just came from China, and the jet lag is still quite hard. It's morning, and I'm coming to pick you up for dinner in the evening. ”

Manager Liao sent Hu Yang and his party to the hotel, and then said goodbye and left. In the evening he arranged a small dinner party, which was mainly attended by insiders from North American companies and research institutes.

Hu Yang did not refuse, and the atmosphere would be better if he met everyone in an informal setting.

At noon, we had something to eat at the hotel, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Due to the jet lag, Populus euphratica only took a short nap and got up.

"Mr. Hu, are you in San Francisco? I'm really sorry, I didn't even pick you up at the airport. Where are you now? I'll take someone to see you if it's convenient. ”

The call came from Sun Yunyi, who knew that Hu Yang would arrive in San Francisco today. He also said before that he was going to pick up Populus Hu, but with Manager Liao going to pick up the plane, Populus Hu didn't trouble him.

"Haha, you're talking about Dr. Yang Chenglin? Okay, we'll see you in the hotel café in an hour. ”

Hu Yang didn't expect Yang Chenglin to hide his impatience, and as soon as the plane landed today, Yang Chenglin asked Sun Yunyi to take him to see Hu Yang.

Calculating the time, Hu Yang and Lin Yan came to the café in advance. Not long after sitting down, Sun Yunyi walked over with a man in his thirties who wore glasses.

"I'm Populus euphratica, and it's a pleasure to meet both. This is my assistant, Miss Lin Yan. ”

Hu Yang stood up and introduced himself first.

"Mr. Hu, your improvement looks good. This is my good friend, Dr. Yang Chenglin, CEO of Ripper. ”

Sun Yunyi talked and laughed and introduced Yang Chenglin to Hu Yang and Lin Yan.

"Mr. Hu, hello, I'm Yang Chenglin, this is my business card. ”

Yang Chenglin greeted with a smile, and immediately took out his business card and handed it to Hu Yang.

"Please sit down, what you two drink, order it yourself. ”

Hu Yang took the business card, and several people sat down one after another.

"Mr. Hu, you must stay a few more days this time. I think you said you were going to invite me to drink, didn't you? ”

After sitting down, Sun Yunyi and Yang Chenglin each asked for a cup of coffee, and Sun Yunyi and Hu Yang began to chat.

"What's the matter? I'll invite you to drink in two days, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink. ”

Hu Yang smiled, and he was not in a hurry to get to the point.

Yang Chenglin was a little restless, and glanced at Sun Yunyi several times, but the other party didn't see it.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Sun Yunyi stopped and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, you see that Dr. Yang is in a hurry. In that case, my company still has something to do, you talk slowly, I'll go first. ”

Hu Yang waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy with you, I'll call you when I get back, and we'll get drunk when the time comes." ”

Lin Yan got up and sent Sun Yunyi out on behalf of Hu Yang.

Hu Yang looked at Yang Chenglin and said with a smile: "Dr. Yang, I know that your Reper Company is looking for the first investment, so what will you tell me next?" ”

Hu Yang actually didn't plan to contact Yang Chenglin as soon as he arrived in the United States, but since people took the initiative to find him, he went straight to the point.

Yang Chenglin immediately sat up straight, then took out some information from the briefcase he was carrying, and began to introduce his company to Hu Yang.

Yang Chenglin and the other two co-founders are both from technical backgrounds, and all three of them have previous experience in Micron. Therefore, his presentation is more technical aspects.

"Mr. Hu, in order to avoid the technical patent barriers of other companies, the design framework is not very mature. However, rest assured, if you give us a little time, these issues will be resolved. ”

Yang Chenglin said a lot, and Hu Yang finally understood that the reason why it was difficult for Ruipo to find investment was because their technology was not yet mature.

"Dr. Yang, I'm sure you also understand that your company is different from some innovative companies. Although the technology of some enterprises is not mature, because the project itself has unlimited possibilities, it will of course be favored by large funds.

And what about your Ripper, with all due respect, your company's development path will be difficult. You are engaged in technology, and you must know better than me that in the field of chip design, most of the market share has been monopolized by some giants. ”

Hu Yang's statement is very objective, a small company lacks capital and market, it is difficult to make great progress in technology. After all, R&D is also very expensive.

Yang Chenglin was slightly disappointed, and it seemed that Hu Yang was not optimistic about his Ruipo company.

Before he came, he thought that he could try his best to persuade Hu Yang so that he could invest some money, even if he made a bigger concession on the shares.

But Hu Yang's words dispelled his extravagant hopes, and the miracle did not happen after all.

"Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, I think it's time for me to leave. ”

Yang Chenglin took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, put away the information he brought, and then said to Hu Yang with a smile.

"Don't worry, Dr. Yang. I don't agree with your financing plan, but that doesn't mean I don't want to invest. I'll tell you what I think, I'm going to buy Ripper wholly at a price you're going to make. As co-founders of the company, the three of you can remain as the management team of the company, and you can also reserve a small stake. ”

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Hu Yang said his thoughts.
