"We have an obligation to let the other shareholders know what's going on, but even if the other two don't want to sell their shares, it doesn't matter, it's a good thing. ”

As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, Mr. Senna nodded and said: "Well, being acquired by Carrefour is good news, and if you decide to continue to go public, it can raise the stock price." ”

"That's right, I want to recoup the money and invest in other industries, Silicon Valley is in the limelight right now, if you have an idea, you can also try it. ”

"The most talked about topic among stockbrokers right now is the high-tech companies, and I know, when you have time to find out, when are you going to talk to Carrefour? If you sell to them first, in order to hold more shares, maybe my turn can raise the price. ”

Senna put out most of the remaining cigars in the ashtray and continued to smile: "But it is also possible that they will satisfy their appetite after buying your shares, and they have already obtained a controlling stake anyway, so remember to add my shares when you negotiate, and sell them together with your others, just tell me the final price, I think you will definitely be able to deal with the Carrefour representatives." ”

Su Mu was amused, "I will help you, as long as Carrefour has not given up on the American market, I believe they will not give up the shortcut to acquire Qugou, you must know that Carrefour will take a lot of time to develop so many supermarkets, at least two years, call them later, I will raise the offer appropriately." ”

"Actually, Lyon, should we consider merging with Carrefour? Swapping our shares in Qugou for shares in Carrefour seems to have a good prospect, and maybe it's more cost-effective than selling them outright?"

"Senna, sometimes one plus one is greater than two, but it is not necessarily good for us, compared to the size of Carrefour, we are just a small company, mergers are easy to lose, money in the hands can become more money.

If I still want to get involved in the supermarket business, I can leave the Qugou supermarket as it is, and it's better to have it under our own control than to pray that Carrefour's decision-makers don't make a mistake......."

Su Mu is quite talented in mathematics, how can he miscalculate that one plus one is equal to many, the so-called "one plus one is greater than two", is an abstract philosophical concept, such as computer host and keyboard, mouse, etc., a single role is not big, but combined, it will be far greater than their function when they exist independently.

This concept is widely used in business, such as combining two smaller companies to compete with larger companies, or joining forces to monopolize the market and form a stronger influence.

Qugou Supermarket is lagging behind in the comparison with Carrefour, and Su Mu is stupid to not be a major shareholder, and he goes to Carrefour to be a small shareholder, and he has no status.

After pondering it, he found that this was indeed the case, so Mr. Senna didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement......

Looking at all the peers who manufacture personal computers in the United States, only HP, IBM, and Apple make Su Mu feel powerful, IBM is the strongest, Apple is the weakest, and even if it is weak, it is several times stronger than Penguin.

Dell computers are also developing better, and Su Mu is still in contact with Michael Dell, whose company is now about half the size of Penguin.

Recently, he wanted to make Penguin rise faster, he pondered the merger, there is no need to merge Dell computers, this company is similar to Penguin, there is no technical background, R & D team at all, just purchase parts from different companies, and modify and assemble the computer by himself.

At this moment, Senna, who specializes in middleman activities, asked: "How likely do you think I can swallow Apple with a penguin computer?"

This company has a lot of technologies that I value, operating systems, office software, R&D teams, sales channels, etc., and if nothing else, Penguin will need to develop at least four to five years before it can reach the current heights of Apple. ”

"If you're not sick, you're dreaming that Apple is much bigger than you, and like Qugou, I don't think you would be willing to merge into Apple and become a minority shareholder. ”

Senna reminded Su Mu as a person who had come over: "I don't know why, I always feel that you have been very urgent lately, as if you are not satisfied with your current achievements, but you are only twenty years old, and many people have not left school at your age, so you should calm down and develop slowly."

I have seen many customers who regret after the merger, and you must know that other people's companies are not as good as the companies they created, because they are familiar with the fact that there are only a few examples of rapid growth after the merger, and more of them cause many contradictions. If one day your company's achievements surpass Apple's, then you should consider a merger, or at least think about it when you are about the same strength. ”

As expected, he was splashed with a basin of cold water.

Su Mu was very happy to listen to other people's opinions, but he did not blindly follow them, and after thinking about it in an instant, he found that Senna was right.

Because he knew that this was a good era and was eager to seize every opportunity, he did become a little anxious, and he invested in Microsoft to succeed, and then set his eyes on the so-called "most profitable Apple company in the United States" in the future, worried that he would miss a good opportunity to participate in the shares.

But in fact, Penguin is steady, and as long as there are no major problems, the future development should be very good, and Apple ...... It's going downhill at the moment.

I felt that maybe it was because of myself that I had changed the direction of history, and that I shouldn't trade a high-quality company for part of a bad company, and told casually: "Don't worry, Senna."

I'm just thinking about it, the Penguin company is too small now, and it might not be a chance in a few years, so I'll call Carrefour now and ask them to talk about the acquisition in the evening?"

"I should have time to go with me tonight, and if the negotiation goes well, I may be able to get $40 million, and it is definitely the best decision I have made in the past ten years.

As long as it's more successful than the deal, I'm going to use some of the money to buy a small island in Greece or Italy, or a ranch in Wyoming, preferably near Yellowstone, which is a beautiful place to go on vacation. ”

Su Mu envied Senna's ease, showing confidence in speaking and doing things, or it could be conceited, which made him feel cool anyway, while he was completely a poor man who suddenly became rich and didn't enjoy it very much.

"Then I'll call back now, take the time to go to Greece, and I'll buy one when I come across a beautiful island, and as for Wyoming...... Its presence is really low, and all I think of is farms and pastures, is it beautiful?"

"It's pretty, a lot of westerns are filmed in Wyoming, I like pure cowboy style, but I haven't been there, and at the end of the month, I ask a friend to go hunting, and you can also participate in the ......"
