Chapter 32: Crouching Tiger (1)
After chatting for ten minutes, Qin Yuanfeng finally felt that he could, and then sat up straight solemnly.
"It's a presumptuous decision to not be notified." He said seriously, at this moment, he was no longer a visitor, but the other party's negotiating opponent, "Mr. Ye, I don't know if you can call the shots about the studio?" ”
"It depends on something." Ye Peicheng didn't agree to it, "I don't care about ordinary things, but this studio was established by the five of us under my call, and major matters need to be discussed by the five of us together." ”
Qin Yuanfeng nodded, said sorry to Zhong Han in his heart, and said, "That's the case, we want to invest 1.5 million to acquire Gigabyte." ”
"What?!"
As soon as they exited, the five of them almost jumped up.
Although their average age was now four or five years older than Qin Yuanfeng, they were still taken aback by him.
Qin Yuanfeng hurriedly added, "It's the dollar." ”
The five of them looked at him like a ghost during the day, without it, Qin Yuanfeng was really too young.
"Take the liberty of asking......"
As soon as Ye Peicheng spoke, Qin Yuanfeng knew what he was going to say, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, I am twenty-one this year and have just graduated from college, but you don't have to doubt me." I brought the certificate of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology this time, and you can call Hong Kong at any time to inquire, but the certificate is not with me, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go back now. ”
"Let's talk about that." Ye Peicheng looked at him carefully and said, "I won't tell you, if Mr. Qin is telling the truth, then I will also tell Mr. Qin the truth, Gigabyte does not plan to merge." ”
This time, it was Qin Yuanfeng's turn to frown.
At the end of this year, Gigabyte's total assets reached one million dollars, and now there is still a quarter, at most more than 700,000 yuan, he almost opened twice the price, for a new company, or a new company in the dormitory, the other party actually refused?
Seeing that Qin Yuanfeng didn't speak, Ye Peicheng smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Qin doesn't know the situation in Taiwan. So let me talk about it. ”
"In recent years, there has been a market for Taiwan's electronic equipment, original materials, and finished products. It's not that I'm boasting, our Gigabyte is small, but there is still a lot of market in Taipei. If you go to the market and ask, many big manufacturers know about us GIGABYTE. We are not worried about the sales of our products, and the research department, the export department, although there are few people, the place is also small, but we do not lack this fund, is preparing to officially move next year, to be a real company. ”
Qin Yuanfeng pondered.
He ignored it.
The Asian tigers are about to take off, and Taiwan is also at the peak of the electronics industry, not only Gigabyte, but also Acer's aLI Yangzhi, and Gigabyte's MSI msI, which was established almost at the same time, are the world's most famous brands in the future.
Originally, he had considered MSI, although MSI motherboards can't be made by Gigabyte, but MSI is the world's largest graphics card manufacturer, and it is also an indispensable part of the console. But in the end, he still circled Gigabyte.
GIGABYTE only started to make motherboards at a later stage, and their products were not limited to motherboards in the early days, and even motherboards were not a major component of their business.
What they did at the beginning was what he needed most now, all kinds of hardware technology!
However, because of the rapid development of Taiwan's general environment, the five GIGABYTE veterans do not feel that the price is not enough, but they are very confident!
They firmly believe that they can make an empire, and Gigabyte, which was founded with an initial capital of 700,000 Taiwan dollars, now has 5 million Taiwan dollars!
Seven times more profits, so that they are full of confidence!
Qin Yuanfeng had a headache.
Generally speaking, if a large enterprise acquires and does not agree, he can fight a business war with you and squeeze out your market, but he can't.
Generally speaking, if a famous company proposes to acquire, the other party will consider the company's reputation, status, capital, and technology, and may consider joining and finally getting out.
But he still can't.
There is no advantage of fame, no money for business wars, and most importantly, he can't stretch his hand so long, if Gigabyte doesn't agree, there is nothing he can do.
"Impossible?" He tentatively asked, "Two million dollars?" ”
Several people laughed, not at this seemingly random negotiation, but at the negotiation of a small company, and this is only the initial stage of testing the other party's intentions.
"Mr. Qin." Ye Peicheng smiled, "We can feel your sincerity, in fact, we can feel it from the moment I pulled you up." But Gigabyte doesn't plan to merge, I'm afraid it's going to disappoint you. ”
Qin Yuanfeng sighed, the other party's tone was very resolute, leaving no room for anything, and he didn't even ask him the price at all, there was basically no need for this kind of negotiation to continue.
"Then let's do it another way." He thought for a moment and said, "I want to work with Gigabyte in depth." ”
"What type of company is Mr. Qin?"
"We're currently doing software development, but we want to involve hardware."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, we don't want in-depth cooperation."
Ye Peicheng's words made Qin Yuanfeng slap him angrily.
After sorting out his mood, he asked, "Why?" ”
"Because GIGABYTE never planned to go to the Software Show, that's not our forte." "We don't have any involvement in the software industry, so we don't think that working with you will bring any real benefit to GIGABYTE. ”
"What if my software needs your hardware technical support?"
"May I ask if Mr. Qin's software is a computer?"
"It's not."
Ye Peicheng shook his head again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, if it weren't for the computer, the manpower we invested would certainly make us profitable for a while, but after making a profit, the time of this group of people would be wasted, which is still not good for our exhibition." I choose to refuse. ”
Qin Yuanfeng really had a big head this time.
Before he came, he thought about being rejected by Gigabyte, but in-depth cooperation is his final bottom line, which is related to his ideals, and he will not give up!
After all, with a sevenfold increase in profits a year, coupled with the fact that he has newly established a new company without any back/background support and without any technology to provide, it is not easy to acquire the other party.
It's just that I didn't expect the in-depth cooperation to be rejected.
"I wanted Gigabyte to build a special studio. Follow my recommendations and frameworks for research. I'm going to put it in. He looked at the other party and said ruthlessly, "A million dollars!" ”
Now he only has less than four million dollars in his hands, and the hardware research is a bottomless pit, and it is a long-term line of losing first and then winning, one million, he can be said to be really iron-hearted.
As long as the other party is taken, this million instructions can even reach tenfold, a hundred times!
This time, Ye Peicheng did not immediately refuse.
One million US dollars, which is more than double the total assets of GIGABYTE now, and it is only an in-depth cooperation, even if it does not help them in the future, this huge amount of money will also have an irreplaceable effect on GIGABYTE's take-off!
In the early stage of entrepreneurship, if you can get such a big investment, even the gods will tremble.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Yuanfeng did not disturb them, but waited quietly.
Ye Peicheng didn't expect that the other party would be so bold, one million dollars, which is a huge amount of money for any small and medium-sized company now, which really moved him.
After a long time, he said, "I can't answer you right away, we need to discuss it." We'll visit you after the discussion. ”
"Okay, we're at the Zhongshan Hotel. However, I hope that your company will move faster, after all, there are still many things waiting for me to go back to Hong Kong. ”
"Understand, we will do our best."
Qin Yuanfeng looked at Ye Peicheng and decided to add another fire.
"I'm afraid Mr. Ye doesn't know how we made tens of millions of dollars, right?"
"I want to hear about it."
"We have a joint agreement with Sega, and it's a game for me. You know what that means. ”
This time, Ye Peicheng's unchanged face finally changed.
"Sega?" He looked at Qin Yuanfeng a little uncertainly, "Japan's Sega Co., Ltd.?" ”
Qin Yuanfeng nodded, "Since it is a joint opening, soon, their experts will come to Hong Kong." Even we will set up the Qin Dynasty. Sega opens the group. ”
"I hope to see Gigabyte as a third party when the time comes."
Ye Peicheng was really tempted now.
Sega is different from Nintendo, this is a company that dares to challenge hardware, Nintendo's strategy is software first, while Sega's strategy is hardware first.
Sega's technology is far greater than any company in Taiwan today, or even more than 95% of the world's companies.
Being able to go in and learn is also a huge temptation for Gigabyte, even bigger than the million dollars just now!
"We will seriously consider it and give you an answer as much as possible."
Qin Yuanfeng nodded, took his leave, and left Gigabyte.
When he came to the door of Zhongshan Hotel, Zhong Han was almost in a hurry to jump to his feet.
"Mr. Qin! Where the hell have you been? I'm dying! It's almost time to call the police! ”
Qin Yuanfeng waved his hand a little depressedly, "Go up and say." ”
When he entered the room, he fell headlong on the bed, not wanting to move.
"I've found Gigabyte."
"Found it?!" Zhong Han immediately asked, "What do they say?" ”
Qin Yuanfeng turned over, looked at the ceiling and said, "I originally wanted to buy Gigabyte, but they didn't want to. Proposals for in-depth cooperation were also rejected. In the end, I finally agreed to take another look. ”
He smiled, "One and two are so cunning that they will die, and I even sold Sega, so I don't believe they don't take the bait." ”
"I can't take them now, but in a few years, I'm going to get them to follow me willingly!" He came to his senses, sat up and said, "Let's plant this seed within them first." Hey, pour me a glass of water. ”
Zhong Han's eyes rolled, he was guessing what bad idea this senior was playing again.
"Don't guess, you can't guess." Qin Yuanfeng said directly.
Zhong Han could never have known that the fire that almost destroyed Gigabyte in '94 was there!
If Intel hadn't promised GIGABYTE to pay for the goods before delivery, there would be no GIGABYTE now!
"Since you can't catch the tiger, let's raise it first. When I became a tiger, I even took the tiger cage with me! A determined look flashed in his eyes, as long as Gigabyte promised him a deep cooperation. Once this seed is planted, he will use the bridge to bring Gigabyte into his camp step by step, and become a backyard that produces electronic products exclusively for him!
And...... The corners of his mouth curled slightly, 94 years...... It's time for the second era of electronic entertainment to begin!
Sonny sticks out his fangs, and when will he poke out his dragon claws, Gigabyte...... In that fire, see how you escape!
