As Bruce warned, the real master of Scopa is not Div, but Sun Dong. Under pressure from Mr. Sun, Div, as CEO, finally signed the funding report. After he put the words down to paper, Def seemed to be drained of all his energy in an instant, and watched helplessly as Bruce triumphantly walked away.

He couldn't refuse Sun Dong's order, as the CEO of the company, he seemed to be in power on the surface, but to put it bluntly, he was just a senior worker. Unless he submits his resignation to the board, there is no way to prevent this outcome. What's more, what if he resigns? Wouldn't the followers sign it? Thinking of this, Def felt as helpless as the protagonist in a tragedy.

Can't resist, that's acceptable. As the Chinese say, when a monk hits the clock for a day. At least, staying in this position, Def can still maintain his status and income, and as for what the future holds for Scopa, where can he still care? One day is one day, and when the big deal comes, if you can't support it, you will agree to the huge conditions. By this time, Diff had completely lost faith in the company, and he had even seen that the day was approaching when Scopa would be acquired.

Unlike the sad Diff, Zhou Liwen's mood is very good. After the acceptance of the Ios system, Liao Yuancheng conducted another round of negotiations with Cisco according to his wishes. Although the result of the negotiation was slightly different from Zhou Liwen's original expectations, it was still within the range that he could accept. After consideration, in order to stabilize Cisco and Chambers who tried to reach out to ORZ, Zhou Liwen still agreed to the other party's request and fully cooperated with Cisco to open the IOS system used on the tablet.

After the agreement was signed, Chambers invited Zhou Liwen to go to the farm in California for a vacation, and Zhou Liwen happily agreed to spend a wonderful week on the farm.

During the vacation, Chambers still did not give up the temptation and lobbying of Zhou Liwen, but due to the huge difference in the asking price between the two sides, this effort was ultimately fruitless. However, Zhou Liwen, who had already planned for a long time, proposed another proposal to Chambers, that is, to cooperate with Cisco to jointly acquire Scopa, and after this proposal was proposed, Chambers was a little surprised at first, and then laughed dumbly.

"Zhou, you're too cunning." After the two sides got acquainted, the conversation became much more casual, and Chambers, who was on the horse, said with a smile: "Although Scopa is a good company, that was a few years ago. Since they sold off their core subsidiary, the company has gone from a top-tier IT company to a third-rate company, and now it's just running on your silicon system orders. Compared to Cisco, I don't think there is anything worth it for me to attract Scopa, and now I just want to buy their chip factory, so I might as well build one myself. ”

Zhou Liwen nodded with a smile, reached out and touched the head of the big red horse in his crotch, and said calmly: "You are right, compared with Cisco, Scopa basically has nothing to attract you, but don't forget, their chip factory is still very attractive to me." You should be very clear about the potential of my smartphone, John, you are an excellent businessman, and it should not be difficult to see that the future mobile phone market will be the world of smartphones. And with the exhibition of smartphones, it can even replace most of the current personal computers. You know, there are 7o billion people in the world, and if you only calculate it at 5o%, this will be a huge market of 3.5 billion. And according to people's habit of using mobile phones, every other year and up to two years, their new mobile phones will be updated, it can be said that this market is not only large, but also has infinite potential. ”

"Of course I know that." Chambers said bluntly: "But you know, our main direction of Cisco is not in this area, the IT industry is a very broad concept, although I don't like Microsoft's Bill, but he has become the world's no1 just by virtue of software, Zhou, although the market is very large, but Cisco has never had the idea of dominating the market, I only need to have an advantage in a certain area of this market, it is enough." ”

"You're right, but what if I already have the idea of buying Scoppa?"

"Why? What are the benefits to you of acquiring such a company? Isn't it better to use orders at the moment? If you want to set up your own chip factory, you can build one yourself. ”

"Build you big-headed ghost!" Zhou Liwen secretly said in his heart, this Chambers is pretending to be confused, with his head, doesn't he know that Zhou Liwen can't build a new chip factory at all. Chip factories are one of the cores of the IT industry, and the IT industry, whether it is engaged in software or hardware, is inseparable from their core - chips. Moreover, the United States has the world's most famous chip companies, for this field, how can Zhou Liwen, as a Chinese with a Celestial Empire passport, invest in chip factories. What's more, even if the factory is built in China, Zhou Liwen will not be able to purchase the most advanced assembly line and technology, you must know that the Batumi agreement is not a joke, and the self-built chip factory can only be a castle in the air.

Even his sworn enemy Lianke, their chip factory is not in the Big 6, but in the Taiwan Strait. The big 6 factory is just making some add-ons and VCD and other decoding chips, these two technologies are completely different, from a simple example comparison, the decoding chip and the smartphone chip Zhou Liwen needs is like the difference between building a small sampan and a 10,000-ton ship.

In order to let Zhou Liwen get into the trap, Chambers is also very "sincere" to build yì If Zhou Liwen wants to build a chip factory in the United States, Cisco can "help" appropriately, and even Zhou Liwen does not need to pay, as long as the order is handed over to Cisco, and Cisco's technical strength can fully guarantee Zhou Liwen's needs.

Where would Zhou Liwen agree, once he agreed to this request, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing his neck to the other party and letting people strangle him. Without thinking about it, Zhou Liwen rejected the other party's kindness, and then asked with a smile: "That's what I mentioned, if Cisco is not interested in Scopa, then forget it." Originally, I was planning to deepen cooperation with Cisco in this way, didn't you mention cooperation in the form of capital increase and share swap before? We don't think it's too big to agree on, but I'd be willing to do it if we were to combine it in the Scopa takeover. ”

"Hehe, let me think about it."

“ok！ But I'm afraid I won't give you much time. Zhou Liwen reminded, and then shook the reins, the horse under the crotch ran up quickly, and ran out in a blink of an eye, Chambers looked at Zhou Liwen's distant back and smiled thoughtfully, and also chased after him with both legs.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Liwen returned to Silicon Valley from Chambers' farm, before waiting for Cisco's reply, two unlucky guests suddenly came to visit.

"Immigration?" Zhou Liwen looked at the two people who came up strangely, the other party was a man and a woman, wearing a suit and showing Zhou Liwen their documents first, the documents showed that the other party was indeed an official of the Immigration Bureau, among which the man's name was Eric and the woman's name was Sarah.

"I'm sorry, I don't seem to have violated U.S. immigration laws, do I? My business visa is valid for half a year ....... ”

There are several departments in the United States that must not be offended, of course, the tax bureau is the brunt, and the immigration bureau is also one of them, especially foreigners like Zhou Liwen. Being approached by the immigration bureau is not a good thing for foreigners who come to the United States, is there some misunderstanding? Zhou Liwen explained first, and then wondered if he should call the lawyer immediately to come over.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, we are not here to find trouble." Somewhat surprisingly, Sarah spoke, and Eric nodded with the same smile.

"Strange, how does USCIS become a service organization? Aren't all these immigration guys a dead face? Could it be that the immigration bureau of the United States has engaged in a smile service? Zhou Liwen wondered in his heart, but he still invited the other party into the house, and he couldn't stand at the door and chat.

"I'd like to call my lawyer." After inviting the two of them in, Zhou Liwen decided to inform the lawyer for the sake of safety. But as soon as he said this, the other party smiled: "Don't worry Mr. Zhou, as we just said, we are not here to find trouble, of course, it is your right to ask a lawyer, if you feel that it is necessary, you can completely notify your lawyer." But personally, I think it's better for you to listen to our intentions before deciding. ”

Zhou Liwen hesitated and nodded. Ask the other party to sit down in the sand and prepare to hear what the two immigration officials want to say to themselves before deciding.

"What did you say?" But as soon as he heard Eric say a few words, Zhou Liwen was stunned, and he stared at each other with incredible eyes: "I'm sorry, did I hear it wrong?" You just said that you came to ask me if you have any intention of immigrating to the United States? ”

"You heard it right, Mr. Zhou." In order to avoid Zhou Liwen misunderstanding that they were fishing for law enforcement, Sarah opened the leather bag she was carrying in front of Zhou Liwen, took out two copies of the document and put it in front of Zhou Liwen: "Mr. Zhou, the United States welcomes people like you to immigrate and become our compatriots. If you wish to become a U.S. citizen, all you need to do is sign the document directly. Of course, if you don't want to give up your citizenship for the time being, we are not reluctant, there is also an application form for a green card, and we think you can also apply for a green card first to facilitate future contacts. ”

Zhou Liwen picked up the two documents in surprise and looked at them, and indeed as the other party said, one is an application for naturalization, and the other is a green card, that is, an application for a long-term residence permit. There should be no problem with these two documents, not to mention that even if there is a problem, he can just call the lawyer to take a look, and there is no need for the other party to deceive himself in this way. But Zhou Liwen is strange, when did Lao Mei speak so well? The service of the immigration bureau is so in place and considerate, and according to their explanation, as long as Zhou Liwen signs, in addition to naturalization, he needs to return to the immigration bureau for an oath ceremony, and the green card can be processed on the same day and sent to him directly.

This situation made Zhou Liwen's head a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but ask why.

"Because it's in the interests of the United States for you to join the United States." The other party replied with a smile and a very simple and concise answer.
