"Lin, I'm sorry to disappoint you, although I don't know where you heard the news, but I can tell you clearly, with the development of network technology, I firmly believe that the future belongs to the era of personal PCs, TI will not only not sell the PC department, but will also increase investment in the PC department, in the future, PC and laptops will be an important part of Texas Instruments' business."

In the mouth of this bastard, Anjibo's lies are simply open to the mouth.

But Lin Zheng laughed: This guy doesn't even admit what he just said? Is this intended as a way to show Texas Instruments' determination to sell its PC division?

Now, Texas Instruments' PC department is indeed losing money, and it can even be said that since the establishment of Texas Instruments' PC department, Texas Instruments' PC department has been in a state of loss.

According to some news obtained from dealing with Texas Instruments in the past two years, Lin Zheng knew that at the beginning of the establishment of the PC department, this kind of loss was considered acceptable by the board of directors, after all, there is no project that can guarantee to make money from the beginning, but if a project has been running for more than 10 years and is still in a state of loss, it is really necessary to measure whether this department still has the need to continue to save zài, including desktops and laptops, Texas Instruments' PC department last year, That is, in 1995, the loss was as high as 67.2 million US dollars, and this year's loss further expanded, reaching an astonishing 86.42 million US dollars. Angelber had long had the idea of selling off the PC department, this old man's words. Not to show that Texas Instruments will not sell the PC division, on the contrary, he intends to tell himself in this way: Come on! As long as you're willing to pay a little more. Texas Instruments' PC department is yours!

But how could Lin Zheng fulfill the old fox's wish? The old bastard Angie not only wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the burden of the PC department, but he also hopes to take this opportunity to strip off non-performing assets to optimize the company's resources and make a lot of money by selling the PC department!

"Really?" Lin Zheng looked at An Jibo with a smile, and he didn't fall for this old fox at all: "If this is really the case, it would be a pity...... Well, let's not talk about it, today is just a purely private visit. ”

Lin Zheng's words made An Jibo not know how to continue the words for a while. In Anjibour's vision, HP, Compaq, and Dell are all good sales targets for Texas Instruments, and Japan's Sony, Toshiba, and Fujitsu are also good. Even some computer companies on the island are not bad, but among them, there is absolutely no name of Lianchuang Technology, even if the two companies are now partners. But precisely because the two companies are now partners. He was even more reluctant to sell Texas Instruments' PC division to Lianchuang Technology.

It's just that reality makes Thomas. Angelber is very regretful, although he has let out the wind, but so far, whether it is these PC companies in the United States, or in Japan and on the island, none of them have taken the initiative to contact Texas Instruments.

Well? Wrong!

The cunning Thomas. Angel Bo suddenly realized. Perhaps the emergence of Lianchuang Technology is an opportunity for Texas Instruments? Since Lianchuang Technology can win the foundry orders of Dell and Compaq in a left-right way. Then you can do the same!

Thomas who has made up his mind. A bright smile instantly bloomed on An Jibo's face: "Lin, just kidding, are you sure you were serious about what you said before?" ”

What is this guy doing? Lin Zheng, who was stimulated by Angelber, who had changed three times in a row, was a little confused for a while, not knowing what this guy was thinking, but instinctively, Lin Zheng felt that Thomas. An Jibo was brewing some conspiracy, and his heart suddenly became vigilant: "Of course it's serious, but of course the premise is that we have to bear it." ”

"Since that's the case......" Thomas. Anjibo pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Lin, tell me what you think." ”

Lin Zheng would not be stupid and took the initiative to reveal the hole cards of Lianchuang Technology first, shook his head and said: "It's just an intention now, Thomas, since you already have the intention to sell the PC and software division, tell me what you think, what are you going to do?" ”

…………………………………………

The initial contact was certainly not satisfying, but Lin and Angie agreed on whether to proceed with the next step in negotiations: the two sides could engage further in the sale of Texas Instruments' PC and software divisions.

It stands to reason that this kind of news should be highly confidential, but thanks to the highly developed media in the United States, and I don't know where these powerful media got the news, the software and laptop division of Texas Instruments, which Lianchuang Technology wanted to acquire, was actually poked out by the Washington Post.

Lianchuang Technology is actually ready to acquire Texas Instruments?

This news instantly swept through the world like a Category 12 hurricane!

Countless people are crazy!

Americans opened their mouths wide and couldn't believe that a giant like Texas Instruments would decide to sell its own PC division and software division, and that it was a Chinese company that bought both divisions.

As the economic situation of the republic is improving day by day, the national strength of the country is becoming stronger and stronger, and the national pride of the whole country and nation is also increasing, but this enhancement is also faintly accompanied by a little self-doubt: Are we really powerful?

And now, Lianchuang Technology has told all the Chinese people that they are preparing to acquire the PC and software division of Texas Instruments, we are really powerful, not only have we really stood up, but now we are strong enough to acquire one of the best semiconductor companies in the world!

Although Texas Instruments is only selling their burden, although the two sides have only reached a most basic and non-legally binding intention, this does not prevent the Chinese people and various media from frantically reporting and reprinting Lianchuang Technology's moves, the title is as sensational as it is, any media, as long as the news about Lianchuang Technology's acquisition of Texas Instruments can be quickly sold out!

Since the news was broken, the phone call of Lianchuang Technology has not stopped, and the provincial leaders called to ask if the news is true at the first time, and solemnly promised that the province will fully support the acquisition of Texas Instruments by Lianchuang Technology.

The leaders know that if Lianchuang Technology can really successfully acquire Texas Instruments under their "cordial care", this is almost the biggest political achievement during their tenure...... There is no way, this is the case with the national conditions.

"Leader, now it's just a preliminary contact, and now it's just an intention, and it's still uncertain." In the face of the phone calls from these leaders, although he was depressed to death, Lin Zheng had to explain to them one by one.

The leaders don't care so much, they naturally have their own logic: "Xiaolin, since you can get in touch, it means that Texas Instruments really has the intention to sell, if Texas Instruments is not willing to sell, then of course we can't do it, but now the situation is not like this, since Texas Instruments now has this intention, we should pay 100%, 1,000 or even 10,000 percent of our efforts!" ”

"But ......"

Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Ziming, vice governor of Haidai Province, who called in person: "There is nothing to do!" Xiaolin, on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, I would like to convey to you the decision of the province: Lianchuang Technology must win Texas Instruments, which is the focus of the province's economic work this year! What are the requirements of Lianchuang Technology, although it is said that the province wants people to give people and money to money, there is only one requirement for you, no matter what method you use, you must take down Texas Instruments, this is a political task! ”

Lin Zheng listened to the waterfall sweat all over his body: When will buddy be able to connect with the political task?

It's just that he also knows that since the leaders of the province have said this part, this matter is really to the point where it can be completed and completed, and if it can't be completed, what else can Lin Zheng do in the face of this situation? Naturally, he could only nod with a wry smile: "Okay, please rest assured that Lianchuang Technology will try its best to promote this cooperation, but please also have a mental preparation for this kind of multinational large-scale commercial acquisition, there are many aspects that need to be balanced and compromised, and the entire acquisition may last for a year or even two years, so ......"

"I know this," Jiang Ziming interrupted him without waiting for Lin Zheng to finish speaking: "This acquisition is a long-term and difficult process, which may even be repeated, the secretary and the governor are mentally prepared, but you can rest assured, it is still the same sentence, the leaders will fully support your actions and help you solve your worries, you just need to do this seriously." ”

Boss Lin also underestimated the leaders' understanding of this acquisition case, although everyone urged Lin Zheng to complete the acquisition case, but such a big acquisition case, how complicated it is, the leaders are naturally very clear in their hearts, no one expects this acquisition case to be completed in a short time, according to the leaders' ideas, the entire acquisition case can reach an agreement within one year, and the completion of the acquisition within one and a half years is already considered fast, and two years is also normal.

As long as the acquisition can be successful in the end, the leaders are not lacking in patience. (To be continued......)
