Chapter 340: The End of the Road
PS: Update early, readers don't talk about it! A lot of recommendations and monthly passes are smashed!
After Du Jiayi and George reached a cooperation intention, the acquisition of ARM became a matter of Standard Chartered Bank, and the resources that could be mobilized became more and more. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
George made a report to the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, and the board of directors also said that they were very optimistic about this cooperation and began to contact some relationships in the United Kingdom.
George always said that Du Jiayi didn't understand the world of capital, in fact, there is a reason. The environmental problems of Du Jiayi's life pay more attention to the heritage and background, and with the addition of family background, he can fight invincible opponents all over the world.
But in the world of capital, as long as you can bring profits to everyone, then you can cooperate closely. Even if there have been grievances and contradictions before, they can temporarily shake hands and make peace.
In the world of capital, there are not so many human favors and relationships, only cold money.
George has a deeper understanding of this, and as long as the funds are in place, acquiring ARM is a possible thing.
With George charging forward, Du Jiayi only needs to be responsible for planning behind the scenes.
……
Little Hunter has been feeling a little upset lately.
There was a turtle from China who wanted to buy Arm's technology, and it seemed that he was frightened by the asking price of one billion dollars, and he never contacted Hunter Jr. again.
Little Hunter regretted it a little. Arm's technical content, Hunter Jr. knows it very well, let alone a billion, and it's not even worth 500 million dollars.
If Du Jiayi contacts him again, he can definitely give him a 20% discount! Six folds is fine!
Hundreds of millions of dollars are enough for little Hunter to squander for a long time.
In the routine board of directors, Hunter Jr. was also united by other directors to attack, especially the problem that ARM has not been renewed for two years and the market share continues to decline. Little Hunt can't get R&D funds in his hands, and wants to take out loans, and his reputation is too stinky in the British financial world, unless he is exchanging shares.
Hunter is not stupid, he only has 60% of the shares left in his hands, and if he sells some more, he will completely lose control of ARM. After losing control of ARM, it is impossible for Hunter Jr. to get ARM's dividends as conveniently as he is now.
I was already very irritable, and Abrams, the head of ARM's core R&D team, also found Hunt Jr. South Korea has offered a very attractive price to poach him, and it can provide enough R&D funds.
Samsung is a group that many people look up to, including the arrogant and proud little Hunter. But if Abrams leaves, ARM's already weak R&D capabilities will definitely plummet.
Finally, Abrams was stabilized with emotion and guaranteed the R&D funds for the next quarter, and the newspaper exposed the quality problems of the chips sold by Arm.
"It is reported that Arm has not updated the chips sold for two years, and there is a gap of at least two generations behind the mainstream chips. In the fast-growing chip industry, ARM has completely lagged behind. This time, there was a quality problem with the chips, that is, the chips sold by Arm did not match most of the hardware of the motherboard and the computer, and the company that suffered the loss has appealed to the local court to demand compensation from Arm. - The Times
The Times has a great influence in England, with millions of sales a day, and it is already a hegemon in England, which has only 65 million people.
According to a news report, many pre-ordered chips and potential users have dismissed the idea of using ARM chips. After all, ARM chips are used only because ARM chips are cheap, and there is no problem with computers that drive some simple calculations.
But if Arm's chips cause the destruction of computers or even workstations, the gains outweigh the losses. Rather than possibly having a bigger loss, it's better to have a little blood and buy a more expensive Intel.
Hunter Jr. can now be regarded as a domestic and external dilemma.
Internally, the board of directors continued to struggle, and although Hunt Jr. has an absolute controlling stake of 60 percent, he is still accountable to the remaining 40 percent of shareholders. It's no secret that the product can't be sold, and the company's internal R&D team is in turmoil, especially since the team leader Abrams is still in contact with Samsung's people.
Outside the company, the company that suffered losses claimed compensation from ARM, which became a hot topic of news for a while, and also put ARM on the cusp.
Arm's public relations department has been unusually slow to respond at this moment, and has yet to come up with a good response plan.
In response to the recent turmoil in ARM, authoritative appraisal companies have lowered ARM's credit rating, especially the valuation has dropped by more than half, a full half.
Little Hunter's heart is about to die, and the valuation is also good or not. It's shrunk by half, and you can't sell it to others for a big price, okay!
In the final analysis, the cub is not distressed when he sells Yetian. Little Hunter has been well-fed since he was born, and he has not suffered any setbacks, let alone ambitions. He just wants to guard such a big gold mine as ARM and support his extravagant life.
When the source of his money began to shrink, Hunt Jr. thought of running it well.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and what little Hunter faces can only be the end of the road.
Of course, the end of the road was also arranged by Du Jiayi for Little Hunt.
Arm's chips are two generations behind, but it is still no problem to drive ordinary computers and workstations. In the face of the advantages of low power consumption and low price, as long as it is not demanding on computing, it is still acceptable.
The configuration of the ruined computer was so high that the Arm chip was like an old-fashioned diesel engine on top of a sports car, and it was strange that it could run.
Standard Chartered Bank has some shares in the company, and a small favor is just a small favor for them.
As for The Times, George used personal connections. George's college classmate was an editor-in-chief of The Times, and the situation did exist, but it was just a phone call to contact the relationship.
Samsung's contact with Abrams is a real thing.
Samsung has been coveting chip technology for a long time, especially when Intel does not have any technology, and Arm has become their target.
Chip technology that is two generations behind, that is also chip technology. Samsung's R&D strength is still very strong, and in terms of Arm technology, it is at least possible to catch up with Intel.
However, this is only the strategy of a small company under Samsung, and it is not the will of the entire Samsung Group.
Du Jiayi directly asked George to find someone to pester the person in charge of Samsung, so that he had no time to take care of Abrams.
Abrams is not just the leader of the ARM chip R&D team, his R&D capabilities are recognized by industry insiders. It is no exaggeration to say that he is at the heart of Arm's technical prowess.
With such an important person, how could Du Jiayi allow to be poached by Samsung's people? (To be continued.) )
