Text Chapter 770 Prologue to the Battle of Qualcomm, Blindfolding
Qualcomm, for many people, may be just a small communications company, even among the many listed companies on the NASDAQ, it is definitely quite popular, after all, the current market value is only a few billion dollars.
However, for Su Chenyu, Qualcomm is the general trend of the future, and only by controlling it can we better control the future. Therefore, in any case, Qualcomm must take it down, and it must be taken down quietly, and it must not be made all over the city and known to everyone - at least it must not be related to the X Fund and the Tianchen Fund.
Yes, Su Chenyu must win Qualcomm, but he must not use the vests of X Fund and Tianchen Fund, which is too eye-catching, and it is too easy to expose his intentions. You must know that the opponents of Su Chenyu and SS Financial Holdings are not ordinary people, nor ordinary people, but the controllers of this world - the top consortia.
These capital consortia are all very shrewd, as long as Su Chenyu shows a little clue, this group of convictions will definitely detect something. At that time, even if these consortia can't guess the specific details of the matter, they can definitely guess a rough idea, you know, never underestimate the power of these consortia that control the world behind the scenes. Once these consortia guessed the approximate situation, then with their urine, it was definitely a crazy influx, although Su Chenyu was not afraid, but it was indeed a trouble.
Therefore, this time for Qualcomm's "must-win battle", Su Chenyu did not plan to come forward in person, and he must not come forward, even if he is in San Diego now, he must not show his face at all. Even, anyone who has anything to do with X Fund, Tianchen Fund and other SS financial holding systems will never come forward, otherwise it will attract the attention of those consortium families.
As a result, Su Chenyu, who was in San Diego, could only hide behind the scenes quite painfully and quietly manipulate the matter.
On the second day after Su Chenyu arrived in San Diego, an investment management company under X Fund that had never been involved was quietly transferred to Zhong Chuhong's name and named - Yuhong Fund. The most important thing is that all traces of Yuhong Fund's previous existence have been erased, and in the eyes of many people, he is just a small fund company that has been quiet.
At the same time as the Yuhong Fund was suddenly established, a huge amount of money from Hong Kong, Ukraine, Russia and the United Kingdom quickly entered the United States through the special channels of Standard Bank Group.
At the same time, a professional manager named James Byrne also took off from New York to San Diego, and this person was none other than the new CEO of Yuhong Fund. The first thing the new CEO of Yuhong Fund did when he came to San Diego was to secretly meet Su Chenyu, the big boss hiding behind the scenes.
No one knows exactly what James Byrne and Su Chenyu talked about, but the day after they met, the new CEO went to meet with Irving Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm Inc.
Founded in 1985, Qualcomm has 7 founders, of which Owen Jacobs is the "leader" of these 7 people, and it can even be said that it is because of Owen Jacobs that Qualcomm is born. Many people may not know that Qualcomm was born in the home of Irving Jacobs, and it was his proposal that led to the future communications giant.
Therefore, after the establishment of Qualcomm, Owen Jacobs is not only the founder of the company, but also the chairman and CEO, so it can be said that he has a monopoly on power. No way, who made Owen Jacobs a major shareholder in Qualcomm, holding the most shares - at the beginning it was nearly 30%. It's just that later, with the continuous influx of investors and Qualcomm's IPO financing in 1991, Owen Jacobs now has less than 15% of the shares, but even so, he is still Qualcomm's largest shareholder.
Compared with Irving Jacobs, who became a big man in the American communications industry, the other six founders of Qualcomm are a little embarrassed. To put it mildly, apart from professionals in the communications industry, who knows who these six people are? Even those who have been in the communications industry for a long time probably don't know these six founders of Qualcomm. However, for Irving Jacobs, Qualcomm's chairman and CEO, it's different - who in the world doesn't know you?
Although the 6 founders of Qualcomm are in a bit embarrassing in Qualcomm's position, it does not mean that they are really embarrassed, on the contrary, they hold more than 30% of the shares in their hands.
30% of the shares, as long as you have these 30% shares, the rest of the things are much simpler.
Therefore, at the same time that James Byrne met with Irving Jacobs, other senior executives of Yuhong Fund began to frequently contact the six founders of Qualcomm.
At Qualcomm's headquarters, James Byrne met with Irving Jacobs, Qualcomm's chairman and chief executive officer, the absolute boss of the future communications industry.
Without any detours, James Byrne said directly to the point: "Mr. Jacobs, I am the CEO of Yuhong Investment Fund, and I came to meet you this time to discuss the acquisition of Qualcomm. ”
Damn, to be honest, Owen Jacobs was directly stunned by James Byrne's words, what the hell is this? As soon as he came up, he said that he wanted to buy my company? I just want to say, which green onion does I know about you?
Although Owen Jacobs was quite unhappy, he was a professor-level figure who bought higher education, so he controlled his emotions well. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, James Byrne would have been ordered to be evicted.
"Mr. James Byrne, I think you're mistaken, right? Isn't it too child's fun for you to come directly to the door like this, and then say that you want to buy our Qualcomm company?" Owen Jacobs stared at James Byrne with a casual face, suppressed his rising anger, and then said: "Besides, although our Qualcomm is not a giant company, it is not something that any investment company with cats and dogs can buy." ”
Hearing what Owen Jacobs said, James Byrne smiled lightly, and then said rather exaggeratedly: "Mr. Owen Jacobs, I'm afraid you still don't know about our Yuhong Fund, it's not that I'm talking big, don't talk about your Qualcomm Company, even if it's General Motors and Westinghouse Electric, we dare to intervene." ”
Well, to Owen Jacobs's ears, it was as ridiculous as feeling that someone had come up to him and say that he was an alien, and even he believed that someone was telling him that he was an alien, and he didn't believe the thing in front of him. Shaking his head, Owen Jacobs felt that he was really idle and bored to come to see this guy, what a waste of time - I don't know what he thought at the time, and he actually agreed to go to the appointment? Maybe he was kidnapped by aliens at that time.
Owen Jacobs, who was already about to leave, suddenly smiled and said, "Then how much price are you willing to pay to buy our Qualcomm?"
"The current share price is at a premium of 30%, acquiring Qualcomm!"
After hearing this, Owen Jacobs sneered, and then said: "Mr. James Byrne, I still have some things here, and it is really inconvenient to talk about it, so please excuse me." ”
There is no doubt that this is already very clear, Hongguoguo's eviction order. James Byrne was not an uninteresting person, and when he heard this, he stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, we'll see you later." ”
Just as James Byrne was about to walk out of the office, Owen Jacobs said, "If it's any more boring stuff like this, Mr. James Byrne, please don't bother me." ”
After a pause, James Byrne didn't say anything after Owen Jacobs finished speaking, and walked out directly. The moment he walked out of the office, James Byrne, who had just looked casual, instantly became serious, and there was no doubt that he was just acting.
To be honest, James Byrne didn't intend to be able to talk to Owen Jacobs this time, so he was the one who behaved. Even, before he came, both Su Chenyu and James Byrne knew clearly that Owen Jacobs would never sell Qualcomm, at least not his Qualcomm shares.
In this case, you have to find another way!
So, the other six founders of Qualcomm are the real targets, and James Byrne is just a smoke bomb.
As for whether this smoke and fog bomb will startle the snake, hehe, there is a good saying - virtual reality, real reality, real reality, and virtual reality, coupled with James Byrne's "acting" just now, Irving Jacobs will only regard it as a Wall Street liar. After all, who wouldn't know that Wall Street is a gathering place for a group of "financial fraudsters"!
Therefore, Su Chenyu was gambling, gambling that Owen Jacobs, an "academic" businessman, would never have thought that today's meeting was just a "smoke bomb" and a "trick". Moreover, in order to make the "smoke bombs" and "blinding methods" more realistic and convincing, Su Chenyu also prepared a follow-up move.
So, when Yuhong Fund was in constant negotiations with the other six founders of Qualcomm in private, James Byrne shamelessly came to visit Owen Jacobs several times, and most of them were "closed-door". Even, James Byrne officially sent an acquisition offer to Irving Jacobs to Qualcomm in the name of Yuhong Fund. However, Owen Jacobs, who was so annoyed, didn't even look at it and threw his bullshit acquisition offer into the trash.
However, what Owen Jacobs didn't know was that the offer was real, and it was definitely not a joke – real, real, real!
