The November sun in California shone the hair on Bruce's face, and Li Jiaming, who was standing across from him, suddenly wanted to punch him and smash his tall nose into meat sauce.

Forcibly holding back the anger in his heart, Li Jiaming said gloomily: "Bruce, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, I will definitely send you to court." ”

"SORR, this is the decision of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), they believe that our debt ratio is more than 60%, and the outlook is not optimistic, and it is unfair to small shareholders to issue new shares. ”

"I'm asking you, as a director of the company, why didn't I know about it?"

If he had told him earlier, would Li Jiaming still take the initiative to jump into this fire pit?

Definitely not, he will not hesitate to trade with Robert, first to protect his interests from damage.

As Qualcomm's VP Bruce, would he make such a mistake?

No, when Li Jiaming swept away 15.58% of the stock in the stock market, he had already touched the poison pill plan, but it was rejected by the SEC at that time. As the regulator of the stock market, the SEC cannot allow a company with a debt ratio of more than 60% and a stock price that is still falling slowly to issue new shares in order to maintain control.

And these situations all happened before Li Jiaming became a director, and Bruce had the obligation to tell him, but he did not have the obligation to tell him orally, so he would submit the situation in a large number of company documents.

Why?

If Li Jiaming had known in advance that Qualcomm would not even have the right to launch the poison pill program, he would not have sided with Owen at all, and the company would have lost its last chance to survive.

It's over, AHOO won't jump into this fire pit anymore, this game, I'm completely losing. The angry Li Jiaming could understand Bruce's helplessness, but he still punched him hard in the lower abdomen, smashing the middle-aged white man into a shrimp on his back.

"Jiaming!"

"No, no, I'm really sorry", Bruce, who bent his back, bent his face flushed, put his hand on Yang Zhiyuan's outstretched hand, slowly stood up, and slowly left the balcony with his support for the wall.

"Jiaming, you are too savage!"

Shaking his painful fist, Li Jiaming smiled bitterly: "You said it lightly, could it be that I still want to repay my grievances with virtue?"

Also, whoever is put on the table and loses more than a billion dollars of wealth is no wonder if he doesn't ignite the fire.

Crisis, crisis is not necessarily an opportunity behind the danger, Yang Zhiyuan also helped his friend find a way, and suggested in a low voice: "Jiaming, in fact, you still have a way to recover your losses." ”

"I know, you really want to wade into this troubled water?"

"You have to promise me that this is just a threat, not a real thing!"

The world is like chess, how can everything go well?

Li Jiaming pondered for a moment and agreed: "Okay, it's just intimidation." ”

Yang Zhiyuan nodded, sent a text message to Tim on his mobile phone, and after the other party replied, he said softly: "Let's go."

The two came to the door of the conference room side by side, Li Jiaming knocked on the door, and the directors inside were looking at the complex performance data on the projector, and most of them looked like dead ashes.

"Oen, I'd like to say a few words, is that okay?"

Owen, who was closing his eyes and was silent, opened his eyes and nodded slightly. Changing into an excited expression, Li Jiaming slapped his face, interrupting everyone's silence.

"Gentlemen, I have been discussing with JERR for a while just now, and I am going to match their price with Mr. Robert and acquire Qualcomm at a premium. ”

“ming?”

Li Jiaming ignored Robert, who was angry, turned around and opened the door of the conference, and Yang Zhiyuan, who looked relaxed, walked in and joked: "Gentlemen, you won't doubt the strength of our AHOO, right? I can honestly tell you that our AHOO has tens of billions of cash, and we can completely buy Qualcomm."

Of course, if the company's shares are pledged, we can also lend him this cash. ”

"Jerr, you are neither the chairman nor the CEO of AHOO, can you represent AHOO?"

Yang Zhiyuan didn't care about such a small provocation like illiam, and casually picked up the phone from the table next to him and pressed the speakerphone button, and dialed CEO Tim's phone.

"Thiem, I'm Jerr and I'm on the board of Qualcomm. You immediately notify the directors to prepare for an emergency meeting.

Tell them that the analog era in the field of communication is about to become a thing of the past, that we will enter the digital age, and that I will give them an opportunity to enter the field of digital communication. ”

Tim, who had already seen the text message, excitedly shouted on the other side of the phone, "Jerr, is it negotiated?, I will inform each director right away, and they will definitely approve of your decision."

Believe me, you are the god of our AHOO, as long as it is your decision, there will be no objection!"

"Okay, wait for me to call in ten minutes, I'm about to make a final confirmation with the directors of Qualcomm's board of directors. ”

Trouble!

Robert and William imagined this kind of thing happening, and they were ready to agree to each other's blackmail, trying not to let Li Jiaming raise the price with cash in hand, but they didn't expect that these two damn Chinese did not play their cards according to common sense, and actually did not trade privately, but were determined to buy Qualcomm.

Troublesome, HH company is actually a Chinese-funded company and cannot control high-tech enterprises, but AHOO can. How could AOO, which has deep financial resources, not be able to come up with billions in cash? Even if it is a share for shares, I am afraid that many people with voting rights will be willing.

But there was no cheering in the conference room, but Owen, a man in a wheelchair, pointed to the projector screen and asked, "I appreciate Ahoo's sincerity, but can you tell me why? You see, Texas Instruments has taken the lead in digital communication." ”

"Ok, we at AHOO are optimistic about the future of the Internet of Things and believe that the birth defects of GSM cannot be completely overcome by new technologies. Gentlemen, although they are the first to enter the field of digital communication, can they solve the problem of massive information being transmitted to user terminals quickly and losslessly through wireless networks?

I doubt that I can ever be an NBA player my height. Therefore, I a future. Believe me, no matter which company finally obtains control of Qualcomm, it will not develop it immediately, but will only tap the potential of GSM and find that it cannot overcome its congenital defects. ”

That was a chance to salvage the defeat, and Owen immediately exercised his chairman's right to agree to a joint bidding of the company.

"Okay, now I'm adjourning the meeting, and we'll start again when AHOO makes a final resolution. ”

Only then did everyone start talking, and Li Jiaming, who was cheering up his acting skills, sighed secretly. Owen, the old boy, is so prestigious, but unfortunately the general trend has gone, otherwise he will lead Qualcomm forward, and there may not be no chance of success.

This is a monster who is half genius and half mad! If he knew that he would encounter such a monster, he should have made a takeover offer to Qualcomm's board of directors in the name of Intel, instead of lowering the price in the name of the acquiring company. When there were only a few outsiders left in the conference room, Robert, who had a solemn face, looked at Li Jiaming, who was smiling for a while, and after scolding secretly, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to him.

"Ming, you're crazy, do you know which company is really interested in buying Qualcomm?"

"It doesn't matter", Li Jiaming shrugged his shoulders, and then reached over to shake hands.

Robert used his soft hand to hold Li Jiaming's calloused big hand, put his mouth to his ear, and whispered: "Intel, their PC and server chips have occupied most of the market, and they want to open up new chip fields." ”

As expected, everyone thinks that it is a manufacturer in the GSM alliance, Li Jiaming never thinks so, everyone is in a period of melee, who has the energy to open up a new battlefield?

When the lightning was shining, Li Jiaming pretended to be suspicious and said, "Robert, you're not joking, are you?"

"What do you think? Except for them, who has the strength to continue to invest more than five years in research and development? Although Qualcomm has an advantage in potential, its current technology is already a generation behind Texas Instruments, and who else dares to take such a big risk? Of course, with the exception of crazy people like you and Jerr. ”

It must be true, Intel has long established a mobile phone chip department, but it has not been able to compete with Texas Instruments and Nvidia. If they can acquire Qualcomm, they will be able to press the future mobile phone CPU, which is worth taking the risk of billions for them with deep pockets, so they will invite a professional M&A company to take advantage of the fire.

But Li Jiaming's face remained unchanged, and he joked: "That's great, we succeed and can keep Qualcomm, and if we fail, we can protect our interests to the greatest extent." ”

Perhaps, Robert looked at the bastard kid in front of him, who had always only focused on the Internet, and even gave up the investment case negotiated with HH Company halfway, how could he suddenly want to enter the more risky chip field?

"Ming, have dinner together in the evening? I want to take a picture with the great Jerr. ”

As soon as he heard that the opponent was a monster like Intel, Li Jiaming knew that the matter was irreparable, but he deliberately wanted to let go of his hand and promised: "OK".

This monster still wants to stand up to it? Annoyed Robert scolded secretly, and asked William to book a seat with a smile on his face.

No, you can fight with the sky and the earth, fight with people, and you can't do the stupid thing of hitting a stone with an egg, Li Jiaming is now thinking about how to intimidate the other party and strive to let himself get out. Fortunately, the performance of the Zhiyuan brothers is very exciting, and the other party doesn't want to stir up and stir like a stick, so he has to let go of himself who has cash in his hand and has the strength to make trouble.
