0801 Reminder
Gu Benmao's intention to join Song Chen to acquire and integrate Hynix is obvious, and this is exactly what he can't tolerate! Not to mention that he regards Chenxing Technology as a mortal enemy, just say that Song Chen is now getting closer and closer to LG Group, and he feels sincerely displeased!
Last time, Gu Benmao didn't care about the fierce and noisy public opinion in China in the "Family Portrait Incident", and took his niece to New York, USA to visit Song Chen in person, so deliberately provoked, Lee Kun-hee still feels a hot pain on his face!
If Song Chen wants to buy Hynix's backward production line, he will at most let people advocate some technical leaks in the newspaper, and if Song Chen, Huasong Fund or any company under the Chen Galaxy want to buy Hynix Technology, it is no wonder that he is using some unscrupulous means behind his back!
Thinking of this, Li Jianxi's face was very cold.
"Song Chen's special representative will definitely negotiate with Hynix's creditors, Director Cui, you talk to Hynix's stock management negotiation (debt group), I want to know the process details and price of this transaction! That company...... Well, it's Nirvana Technology Company, which Song Chen established in his mother's name, and you can also do a background check to see if there are any other shareholders! ”
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
……
Nirvana's acquisition of Hynix's LCD panel technology was complicated by the involvement of LG Group and Samsung Group, and Hynix and the bank creditor group were surprised to find that Hynix, which had already been rated as a junk bond, was not completely worthless! On the contrary, as Song Chen's intentions became more and more obvious, they found that they actually held a strange asset!
It's a pity that Song Chen's identity is undoubtedly an insurmountable cliff! Compared with the unusually tough and resolute attitude of the South Korean government, the South Korean creditor group feels that this is a profitable deal, and even the top management of Hynix is not completely opposed - as the first industrial capital at home and abroad to initiate the acquisition of Hynix, it is not surprising that they have such an attitude!
"Regarding the acquisition offer of Nirvana Technology Co., Ltd. to acquire the LCD panel business unit of Hynix, it should be said that there is not much resistance!" The next day, Mr. Gu met with Mr. Wang in an informal setting. And put forward his opinion, "Whether it is the South Korean government, the management of Hynix, who is eager to turn a profit, or the debt syndicate are happy to see this deal come to fruition!" As I mentioned to Mr. Song, compared to the embarrassment of BOE needing to finance from the debt group, they prefer to sell this asset in cash to Song Chen, who has more abundant capital - we all know that Nirvana Technology is the asset of the Song family! ”
Wang Xiaoxue smiled and said in fluent English: "This will be very good news for us!" And what about the price? ”
Gu Ben Shigeru muttered: "Considering that China currently does not have mature technology in this field, Nirvana has to pay a little price!" However, with my active lobbying, I am sure that the price for your company will not seem so 'heavy'! ”
Wang Xiaoxue said very politely: "Friendship and goodwill to LG Group. We will definitely give it back! ”
Gu Benmao smiled but did not speak.
Wang Xiaoxue was silent for a moment and then said: "Before coming, Mr. Song had already mentioned to me that the third-generation IPOD of Chenxing Technology can use LG Group's TFT-LCD technology!" Presumably, these tens of billions of won can represent our sincerity! ”
Goo Motomao smiled slightly and said, "Tens of billions of won looks amazing, but in fact, it is nothing to us companies!" When I went to New York to meet him in person, I didn't want to buy tens of millions of dollars, but I wanted to form a more friendly relationship with the world's most powerful Internet company! Observe, learn from, and absorb what we find useful! In the past few years, I have watched Mr. Song start from scratch to the present. It's impossible to be untouched! ”
Wang Xiaoxue's eyes flashed, and then she nodded: "This is also what we want to see, we hope to form a closer relationship with traditional industrial companies, and what Alibaba Group is doing now is to provide a package of e-commerce solutions." Achieve the goal of win-win cooperation with industrial companies! If it is not a matter of urgency, I would like to talk to you about the in-depth cooperation between LG Group and Chenxing Group in various fields such as electronics, home appliances, and clothing! ”
"This can be discussed in detail after the deal is accepted!" Gu Benmao showed a very interested expression, but he changed his words, "The price that Hynix stock management negotiation will give to BOE is 500 million US dollars. Since Mr. Wang has brought consultants from industry professionals, he will definitely know that the price is very high! I spoke to the president of Korea Exchange Bank, Hynix's largest creditor, through personal relationships, and the lowest price they could agree to was $310 million. But I believe that at $280 million there should be a reward! ”
Wang Xiaoxue understood and knew that the creditor group must have reserved the real reserve price for Gu Benmao! She thought for a while and muttered: "I came to South Korea this time for two purposes, one is to acquire Hynix's LCD panel business, and the other is to join hands with LG Group to acquire Hynix Semiconductor Co., Ltd." I don't know what President Gu thinks of the latter item? ”
Gu Benmao shook his head: "It's difficult! ”
Wang Xiaoxue said lightly: "So, if Chenxing Technology initiates the acquisition of Hynix, do you think the South Korean government will agree?" ”
Gu Benmao's body was shocked, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "The fact that it was initiated by Chenxing Technology, not Nirvana Technology, shows that you have a very clear understanding of the most likely obstacle to this acquisition!" If Mr. Song is really determined to win Hynix, then it is best to wait for him to change his nationality! There are rumors in the Japanese tech industry that Mr. Song will invest in Sharp and serve on Sharp's board of directors, so why not wait until then? ”
Speaking of this, Gu Benmao said meaningfully: "You Chinese have an old saying, called "Desire is not enough!" I think it's best for you not to continue to make extraneous things now, and it is the wisest choice to advocate winning the Hynix LCD panel business first! ”
"Why?" Wang Xiaoxue was slightly stunned.
Gu Ben Shigeru sneered: "In the past three years, Hynix has sold semiconductor assembly companies, merged LG and Hyundai Semiconductor, sold electronic circuit design business, display screen sales, network, communication services and CDMA mobile communication equipment manufacturing at the request of the government and creditors, and finally sold the LCD panel business, and the only core technology left is the memory chip business!" ”
At the end, Wang Xiaoxue already understood what Gu Benmao meant: "You are saying that Hynix's core business is in direct competition with Samsung Electronics!" ”
"That's right! Mr. Wang is really sharp-minded! "Hynix's chip storage business is no worse than Samsung Electronics, and some technologies are even surpassed!" Here's the key. Chairman Lee hated Mr. Song to the core, and if Mr. Song were to buy Hynix Semiconductor in Korea...... That's no less difficult than buying Motorola in the United States! ”
Wang Xiaoxue nodded and asked, "So do you think Chairman Li will prevent Nirvana Technology from acquiring Hynix LCD panel technology?" ”
"If it was a direct acquisition of Hynix, then he would definitely personally lobby the government to block the deal! And if it is a 3.5 generation line that is not advanced, if he can't find a successor, he won't anger the Korean bank group for no reason! It's a purely thankless role! ”
After receiving an unofficial but authoritative answer, Wang Xiaoxue was very happy: "If this transaction can be successful, Mr. Song will definitely be grateful for your news!" ”
Gu Benmao smiled leisurely: "I only hope that after Nirvana Technology digests and absorbs Hynix's technology, it will not hand over Chenxing Technology's order to its own production capacity!" ”
Wang Xiaoxue has obviously considered this issue. She smiled slightly: "Mr. Song's strategy for Nirvana Technology is to meet the needs of domestic TV, mobile phone and other industries in the next five years, its production capacity is the primary goal, Chenxing Technology's orders must be handed over to more advanced and mature manufacturers to ensure the stability of electronic products!" ”
Gu Benmao nodded, very satisfied with Wang Xiaoxue's reply.
……
Just when Gu Benmao was interviewing Wang Xiaoxue, Song Chen also received a very unexpected phone call, but it was a veteran of China's science and technology circle who asked to meet: Ding Lei!
Song Chen didn't take a gesture either, didn't hesitate for too long before nodding and agreeing, and made an appointment to meet in the restaurant where they had met last time. This time he didn't take his 'wife' with him, but went to the appointment alone – and of course his two inseparable bodyguards.
The two shook hands, looked at each other for a while, and then sat down separately, Song Chen teased: "Lao Ding." It looks like it's going well, people are getting fat! ”
The last time he saw Ding Lei, Song Chen felt that this person was too thin compared to him ten years later. Probably forced by a series of crises and financial chains. Now that they meet again, Song Chen feels that Ding Lei has gained a little weight, although it is not as good as a few years later. But at least it gives the impression of being rich!
The so-called wide heart and fat body are probably like this.
Ding Lei was very happy that Song Chen used such an affectionate title to express his closeness, and he said humbly: "If it weren't for your guidance, I might have sold NetEasy Company to others a long time ago!" ”
"Did NetEase's financial report for the last quarter come out?" Song Chen asked.
"It's out! To summarize simply, the loss has narrowed significantly, and it is expected to turn around in the third quarter of this year! Ding Lei said excitedly, "And this is not NetEase's financial statement, Chenxing Network, NetEase, Sina, Sohu, China.com and other old portals have benefited from mobile value-added services and obtained a lot of income, it should be said that this year's Chinese concept stocks in Chenxing Network and other portals led the NASDAQ stock market, the table is very eye-catching!" ”
Chenxing network began the formation of this business at the end of 2000, and at that time it also launched a mobile version of QQ, which can realize QQ interconnection with PC clients, and it is also a very popular charging project! With the in-depth participation of QQ portal in the construction of Monternet, and the launch of multimedia MMS and other services, coupled with QQ members, QQ show, QQ game hall members and other value-added services, Chenxing Network's financial report has also begun to improve!
However, the overall scale of Chenxing Network is far larger than that of NetEase, Sina and other old portals, and the depth of global operations is not something that domestic Internet companies can imagine, so the scale of losses is much larger than that of domestic old portals, and it is very difficult for Chenxing Network to turn around its losses this year!
Moreover, compared with NetEase and Sohu, Chenxing Network has one less vital cash cow business: online games!
In 2001, with Chenxing Entertainment taking the lead with four online games, "King of Kings", "Legend of Blood", "Stone Age" and "Miracle", which swallowed most of the profits of China's game industry, domestic and foreign game manufacturers, cross-field business owners, speculators, and hot money poured into this sunrise industry, and dozens of online game companies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although Ding Lei has been enthusiastically instructed by Song Chen, NetEase's online game business is still relatively backward, but it is much earlier than Sohu Sina. An online game studio acquired by NetEase early on, developed a "Journey to the West" that went public last year.
"...... the results of "Journey to the West" are not good, but they can't be said to be bad, at least there are hundreds of thousands of net profits every month!" When it comes to online games, Ding Lei's expression looks very happy, "Half of the reason for the hasty launch of "Journey to the West" last time was related to the team's shoddy production, and the other half is still to blame on my frizziness. The online game business department found a lot of mistakes and omissions in the process of operating this game, and in general we gained a lot of experience, both good and bad! ”
Song Chen nodded and said thoughtfully: "There have been many successful online game bosses in China during this time, right?" ”
"Yes!" Ding Lei smiled and said, "In addition to Li Wei and President Li, the most famous in China is probably Shanda and General Manager Chen Tianqiao!" ”
"Chen Tianqiao?" Song Chen was stunned for a moment, without "Legend of Blood", is it still developed?
"Yes! He is a very skilled talent, and the fact that he was seeking bandwidth resources from server manufacturers and telecom operators gradually spread with the success of Shanda! ”
"Which product is he acting for?" Song Chen asked with a slight frown.
In the field of online games, Chen Tianqiao and Shi Yuzhu should be worthy of a book, the former is eloquent but loses in arbitrariness, so that he often wins in strategy and loses in execution; The latter has a unique vision, and is very good at disruptive innovation, and is a figure like Zhou Hongyi, and the free-to-play strategy of online games is carried forward in his hands!
Ding Lei replied: "The "Elf" developed by South Korea's YD is a 3D cartoon type! (To be continued......)
