Chapter 93: Acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor (3)

After laughing, Ye Kai asked Kailuo to contact the person in charge of Fairchild Company to inform him of the acquisition. Ye Kai, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, watched Kai Luo, who was refreshed, leave the conference room quickly, before leaning back in his chair and continuing to laugh happily.

He had no idea that after he left Hong Kong, good fortune seemed to have been patronizing him. Not only did he meet Teresa Teng, but he also set up a technology company in the UK, and then he had a skin-to-skin relationship with the two Kelly sisters, and he also had a slight connection with the big names in the future British political scene.

This is not the end, after coming to the United States, he unexpectedly accepted three beautiful CEOs in the future technology industry and successfully acquired Atari Games. In the game company, I also got a treasure, and I got a shortcut to the desktop CPU, the game industry, and the automotive industry in the future.

Now we have found an opportunity to enter the semiconductor basic industry in the future, you must know that the current wafer factory not only produces and sells raw materials by itself, but also includes a key industry, that is, the glass industry, because the mask of the lithography machine needs glass as the substrate.

Around this glass substrate, it will become quite easy to enter the LCD panel and electronic product protection panel industry in the future. What's more, there is also a lithography machine as the mother machine of the electronic industry!

However, thinking about it, Ye Kai's smile had not yet converged, so he began to smile bitterly again.

Why?

Because, although the U.S. government has relatively little supervision over foreign-funded enterprises, there are still great restrictions on foreign-funded enterprises entering certain industries.

These restricted industries are subject to restrictions or regulation by the U.S. federal or state government, including defense, banking, insurance, domestic air or water transportation, fishing, and radio and television broadcasting.

Sensitive industries, including high-tech, military-related, or simply those with a certain degree of public concern, will be subject to government security scrutiny.

The Fairchild company that Ye Kai wanted to buy had not only won a contract to provide transistors for the missiles of the Ministry of Defense, but also provided integrated circuits for the navigation computer of the Apollo spacecraft. This kind of company registered in the security review department, it is difficult for ordinary people to acquire it, not to mention that Ye Kai is a foreigner and an Asian.

Just when Ye Kai began to smile bitterly, worried that the hope of acquisition would be very slim, Cory, the owner of Fairchild Company who received the acquisition call, really laughed in the office.

What are you laughing at? Of course, the buyer who laughed at himself and looked for finally appeared, and if he didn't buy the company for a day, the value of the company would decrease day by day, and the daily expenses would have to be taken out constantly. However, domestic semiconductor companies do not look down on Fairchild companies with serious brain drain, serious losses, and uncompetitive products.

So, Corey set his sights on foreign companies, in order to reduce the resistance of the acquirer to the acquisition, Corey paid a lot of money to make Fairchild withdraw from the ranks of listed companies, and, if you don't retreat, the stock of $0.5 per share is equivalent to a pile of waste paper.

Not only that, but he also gave the California government the green light through his connections, ignoring the buyer's review process, and in the acquisition agreement, as long as the name of the acquirer was signed, Fairchild would easily change the owner.

As for the sale price, as Corey hit a wall everywhere, he has extinguished the idea of taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, and instead gave a reasonable price based on the asset, $350 million.

However, it is such a reasonable and conscientious price, those foreign companies do not care, or small companies cannot afford this price, and large companies think that this company is a mess and has no acquisition value.

So, after Corey received the acquisition intention conveyed by Carey through the technical staff, where could he not be happy? So, he hurriedly informed Carlo of his sale price over the phone, saying that if he was satisfied with the price, he could sign the purchase contract at any time.

And Ye Kai, who felt that there was no possibility of acquisition, stood up and was about to return to the office, when he saw Kailuo walking in with an excited face, and said as he walked: "Boss, good news, the other party agrees to sell, saying that if there is no objection to the price, the contract can be signed at any time, and the other party has eliminated all the factors that hinder the signing of the contract." ”

"What is the price quoted by the other party?" Ye Kai's mood at this time was as exciting as riding a roller coaster.

"$350 million." With some difficulty, Carrot said the price, without him, the price was too high, and he was afraid that his boss would not be able to afford it, or that he would think the price was too expensive. "Isn't it too expensive?"

Too expensive? No! It should be said that it is too cheap. With more than 300 million US dollars, you can enter the lithography machine industry, wafer design and manufacturing industry, liquid crystal display industry and other industries with tens of billions of dollars in the previous life.

"Carrot, do you know how much it cost our company to acquire Atari Corporation?" Ye Kai looked at Kailuo and stretched out three fingers to say. "Three hundred million! Moreover, after the acquisition, you need to make a lot of investment in new companies, including Fairchild, and now you still think that the price offered by the other party is expensive? ”

Kailuo was shocked by Ye Kai's company's generosity, and he was also glad that he was doing things under Ye Kai's hands. You must know that sometimes scientific and technological research and development not only need talents, but also have huge research and development funds and bosses who dare to invest in research and development funds, otherwise no matter how brilliant the company is, there will be a heroic twilight day.

The Fairchild company in front of us is such an example, the once brilliant Fairchild company, after making huge profits in the market, instead of continuing to increase investment in the company, but withdrawing most of the profits back to the parent company, resulting in the internal fragmentation of the Fairchild company, the departure of talents and the gradual decline.

"Well, Kylo, your department will not move for the time being, and continue with the previous work for the time being." Ye Kai thought for a while and said to Kailuo. "After the acquisition of Fairchild, I will adjust your department, but it is certain that you will set up a company independently. So, you have to be mentally prepared and reassure your subordinates, OK?"

"No problem, boss, you can rest assured!" Kylo replied.

After ending the conversation, Kai and Ye Kai left the conference room one after another, Ye Kai found the lawyer team of the Swiss Bank, handed over the business of acquiring Fairchild to them again, and then hurriedly walked to his office.

Because, Ye Kai felt that the spin-off of Atari was imminent.
