Li Haoyu's mind was in a hurry, and he quickly guessed that Romanti thought he was a representative of a huge underground organization, but this was fine, he had more room for maneuver.

"Yes, I have full authority to negotiate with your company today on all matters related to the Lingyun-level game server."

Romanti and the others glanced at each other, and John smiled and said, "Then Mr. Li, how much are you going to pay for all the information about your server?" ”

Li Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Ten billion dollars." He looked at the relieved Romanti, smiled slightly, and continued: "Plus 20% of IBM's shares!" ”

"It can't be!" Steven exclaimed.

Li Haoyu shrugged and said: "This price was set by me personally, and there is no room for maneuver!" He told me that if you don't say yes, then we'll have to find a company that can say yes, like HP or Dell. ”

In fact, there is still a lot of room for bargaining at the price quoted by Li Haoyu, and the so-called sky-high asking price is what it means to pay back the money on the spot. First of all, raise the price vigorously and grasp the initiative in negotiations.

Romanty frowned and said: "Mr. Li, your price is too high, our IBM company's market value in 2013 is as high as more than 200 billion US dollars, ranking fourth among the world's IT companies. You want 20% of our shares, which is equivalent to more than $40 billion, plus $10 billion in cash, please forgive us for not coming up with so much money and shares to buy this server of yours. ”

Li Haoyu is not worried that IBM will leave because of the price, after Xiaoyu's analysis, he deeply understands that the current IBM is very urgent need of Lingyun-level game server, and said with a smile: "Ms. Romante, although our server is called a game server, it can become an all-round server after easy improvement." Think about it, with such a server, your IBM company will monopolize the entire global server market for a period of time in the future, how much benefit will it be? The most important thing is that the current competitors in the server field will go out of business because of this server, and your IBM company will dominate, and you only need to pay 100 US dollars and 20% of the shares, which is very cost-effective! ”

Anthony, president of IBM Huaxia, said at this time: "Mr. Li, I admit that you are very tempting, but once we launch this server on the market, those competitors will definitely not sit still. They can't compete with us in the market, but they will accuse us of monopoly. If that's the case, we at IBM will not only be fined heavily, but we will also be forced by the federal courts to open up the new generation of server technology, and we will lose more than we lose! ”

Li Haoyu said lightly: "Mr. Anthony, you are alarmist, let's not care whether you will be accused of monopoly by competitors in the future." For now, if you were really as harsh as you said, you wouldn't have come out to Huaxia to negotiate with me, would you? ”

Anthony was speechless, Li Haoyu was indeed to the point, and he picked up the water cup and drank to hide his embarrassment.

Romanty didn't expect Li Haoyu to be so difficult, fortunately, they had been prepared before they came, and a super contract like this basically couldn't be settled without a period of time.

Helen quietly watched their negotiations, and saw that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little cold, and immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Li, we have come all the way from the United States, can't you lower the conditions a little?" ”

Li Haoyu made a helpless look, and said distressedly: "Miss Helen, I am just entrusted by others!" If this technique were my own, I would be more than happy to trade with you, but well, since Miss Helen has spoken up, then I am in charge, well......" seems to be considering how to lower the price.

Helen's eyes lit up, and she asked urgently, "Mr. Li, what price do you want to give our company?" Romanty and several other IBM executives also pricked up their ears.

After a long groan, Li Haoyu saw that their appetites were almost adjusted, so he spoke: "I naturally will not refuse the request of the beautiful and moving Miss Helen, I personally make the decision to reduce the price to 8 billion US dollars, 20% of IBM shares This is the red line, I will never dare to reduce it." ”

John said disappointedly: "Mr. Li, 20% of the shares is indeed a little too much, so we will pay 20 billion US dollars and add 10% of the shares to buy your new generation of server technology." ”

Li Haoyu stretched out a finger and shook it, and refused with a smile: "20% of the shares must not be less, but the cash can be a little less, otherwise we will have to find another company." ”

Seeing that Li Haoyu bit 20% of IBM's shares and didn't let go, Roman felt that it was very tricky, and thought about it and said: "Mr. Li, let's do this, let's discuss it again." After that, please ask our chairman Peng Mingsheng, and I will give you an answer after a while, do you think it's okay? ”

Li Haoyu smiled and nodded, and when he was about to immediately enter this conference room, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something, took out a file bag from his briefcase and handed it to Steven: "Mr. Steven, you are the technical director of IBM, and there are some of our Lingyun-level servers here are materials, you can take a look at it later." ”

Steven never intervened in the negotiation, he took the document bag handed over by Li Haoyu, nodded and said, "Mr. Li, I will read this information carefully." As he spoke, he pulled out the materials in the bag and studied them carefully.

Helen also stood up at this time and said, "Mr. Li, I have been very interested in the mysterious Chinese civilization since I was a child. I have traveled to China twice before, but I have not been able to enjoy the scenery of China due to time, can I please Mr. Li take me to Zhonghai for a visit? ”

Li Haoyu probably knew in his heart that this young Miss Helen probably wanted to play some beauty tricks on him, but what they never expected was that Li Haoyu still had Xiaoyu in his mind, so he was not afraid of any confusion at all. But with such a glamorous blonde girl by her side, not only does the thief have face, maybe you can also taste what it's like to be a foreign beauty?

Thinking of this, Li Haoyu's heart was hot, and he said very gentlemanly: "Of course you can, but I'm not a native of Zhonghai, and I'm also from other places, so let's go shopping together." ”

Helen stepped forward with a smile, naturally took Li Haoyu's arm, and said, "Then let's go, I'm looking forward to my trip to China!" ”

After Li Haoyu greeted Romanty and the others, he took Helen away, John looked at their backs and sighed lightly: "Do you really need Miss Helen to make such a big sacrifice?" ”

Anthony smiled bitterly: "This is Chairman Peng Mingsheng's decision, and Miss Helen doesn't seem to reject Mr. Li, a Chinese, and besides, we have no good solution now, so I can only hope that Miss Helen can convince this Mr. Li." ”

Roman said softly: "Chairman Peng Mingsheng has been working at IBM since graduating from university in 1972, and his feelings for IBM are by no means imaginable to ordinary people. What we have to do is to bring this new generation of server technology back to IBM as much as possible, this is the purpose of our coming to Huaxia, for which we can pay some of the costs that we can afford! ”

John and Anthony both nodded solemnly, silent, quietly waiting for Steven to finish studying the information left by Li Haoyu.

It was a full two hours before Steven looked up and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Steven, how's it going?" John asked anxiously.

Steven nodded and said seriously: "The information should indeed be true, much more complete than the one sent to us last time." Mr. Li's organization should have thought of all the details of this server, that is to say, this server technology is very mature. In addition, they also attach an operating system that can give full play to the performance of this server to 100%, and I believe that if we can get this information, we can launch this new server in the shortest possible time. ”

"But the other party's asking price is too high, if you really want to give them 20% of the shares, I don't know if the members of the board of directors will agree." Anthony hesitated.

Romanty bit his lip and said after a moment: "Now that Steven has confirmed that this server technology does exist, then the members of the board of directors should know that although they have reduced their stake in IBM at present, they will get a greater return in the long run, and there is no reason for them to refuse." ”

After a pause, Romanty said: "Then I will report the situation here to Chairman Peng Mingsheng, and ask him to convene a board meeting to explain the situation here, and then we will wait patiently." ”

John was silent, "I hope Miss Helen can get the most out of us." ”

Anthony leaned back in his chair, "That's all there is to it, God forbid." ”

Steven continued to look at the information, these materials are simply the greatest wealth to him, his greatest interest is research, and the Lingyun-level server can meet his requirements, so he really hopes that the company can fully obtain the information of this server.
