Chapter 531: Pleasure
Chapter 531 is happy
"Hey, hey, Sister Nan, you can't do this, you should tell him about this." Lulu screamed twice quickly, then stuck out her tongue.
As soon as Xu Zhennan wanted to speak, the phone on the table rang, Xu Zhennan glanced at it, and then said, "Paul's phone, or you answer it?" ”
Lulu thought about it, didn't refuse, or picked up the phone, Paul called to confirm the matter, just after Lulu hung up the phone, Paul was completely cold, until that time Paul suddenly found that although the Starfall Group has always had a good impression of Intel, it does not mean that the Starfall Group has only Intel as an option.
Paul suddenly remembered that AMD's president Thomas was also here, although AMD's market share and market value could not be compared with intel, but with the support of the technology of the Starfall Group, it was not unimaginable to develop into a company that competed with intel, and the Starfall Group has proved their magic more than once.
So Paul was a little anxious, and Xu Zhennan gave Lulu a look, and then left the room directly and walked to the room where Thomas was. Because the negotiation was taking place in the hotel, and this hotel was not open to the public for the time being, Lulu and they were also temporarily staying in the hotel, Lulu and Paul were on the phone, and Xu Zhennan had already entered the elevator.
That is, in a few minutes, Xu Zhennan stood at the door of Thomas, the president of AMD, at the door of the room, Xu Zhennan rang the doorbell directly, although the Starfall Group did not cooperate with AMD during this time, but the president of AMD did not leave here, and the Starfall Group was also wise not to say anything directly refused.
Thomas, of course, is aware of the gap between AMD and intel, although both companies make CPUs. But whether it is technology or capital, the gap between AMD and intel is huge, so this time Thomas was already prepared when he came, of course he knew that with AMD's current market value, if it cooperates with Starfall Group, I am afraid that there will only be one end of being wholly acquired.
So although Thomas came relatively late, the AMD group had already held a shareholder meeting before Thomas came, which is different from Intel. Because AMD's market capitalization is very small, AMD's market value is only about $3 billion, and shareholders know that the cooperation with Starfall Group is swallowed by Starfall Group at the most. Now Starfall Group is the largest group company in the world.
But these shareholders also understand that although it is possible that AMD will be absolutely controlled by Starfall Group. But it's also a natural opportunity for AMD. What if they, the shareholders, now own all the shares? It's only $3 billion, and if AMD's market capitalization reaches tens of billions of dollars with the help of Starfall Group, even if they own about 20% of the shares from their current shares, their assets have increased several times.
The shareholders of a small company have the understanding of the shareholders of a small company, and the weaker company has the benefits of a weaker company. That is, they think very clearly, so everything is mentally prepared, but Starfall Group has been in contact with intel, and AMD is also helpless. However, Thomas knows that his company has a chance, anyway, he will have a chance before Starfall Group and Intel hold a press conference, right?
But Thomas didn't expect that he had already given up, but the opportunity came to the door like this, Thomas got up early every day, so when Xu Zhennan appeared at the door of Thomas's room, Thomas had already gotten up, and after seeing Xu Zhennan from the cat's eye, Thomas was stunned for a moment and then became ecstatic, he knew that his opportunity was coming, although he didn't know what was wrong between Lu Dao Xing Fall Group and Intel, but Xu Zhennan came here, and it would definitely not be in vain.
"President Xu, please come in." Thomas quickly opened the door, and then let Xu Zhennan into the room, and after the two sides sat down on the sofa, Thomas looked at Xu Zhennan with some apprehension and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Xu is here?" ”
Xu Zhennan hesitated for a moment, and then said with a slight smile: "That's it, I opened my mouth directly, if Starfall Group intends to acquire AMD, I wonder if AMD can accept being fully controlled?" ”
Really! Two words suddenly popped up in Thomas's heart, and Thomas said directly without saying a word: "Miss Xu, I was authorized by the board of directors before I came, if Starfall Group acquires AMD, AMD can allow Starfall Group to buy shares with technology, and then acquire up to 60% of AMD's shares at the market price." The shareholders of the board of directors will sell their shares to the Starfall Group on a pro rata basis. ”
Joyfully! Xu Zhennan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Thomas to not even hesitate, he just said such a thing, and he had been arguing with intel for so long, i Thomas was very happy, and he couldn't believe it. "Really? It is said that AMD now holds about 80% of the shares in the hands of shareholders, right? Xu Zhennan's face was full of surprise.
"It's close to 90%, AMD's stock price has been falling over the years, and some of our shareholders sometimes have to buy back some shares, and because of the news of the cooperation between Xingshen Group and Intel, AMD's stock has begun to fall again, so now the shares in the hands of shareholders have exceeded 90%, but this is not important, the important thing is that I got the lawyer's power of attorney from the major shareholders when I came, and they have already discussed, The shares that can be sold to the Starfall Group in proportion to the number of shares can be signed on their behalf. Thomas smiled wryly and recounted the current state of AMD, and when he said the worst, his tone was uplifted again.
AMD can be said to have almost no conditions, Starfall Group provides the technology, can buy up to 60% of the shares according to the market price, in other words, these shareholders are almost handed over to the group, and even the acquisition of shares does not need a premium. Because for a company with a low market capitalization like AMD, the actual value of the company is actually higher than the market capitalization.
"You mean we can sign the contract now?" Xu Zhennan asked in a strange tone, AMD's conditions are much better than those given by Yang Yiwei, Yang Yiwei must have no problem there, the only thing that Xu Zhennan didn't think of was that she originally just came to listen to Thomas's tone, and the two sides contacted each other, who knew that the contract was directly negotiated.
"Absolutely!" Thomas nodded without even thinking about it.
"Okay, then I'll call Mr. Yang." Xu Zhennan hesitated, Thomas nodded, then stood up and said, "I'll go to the balcony." ”
Xu Zhennan didn't refuse, he directly picked up his phone and called Yang Yiwei, Yang Yiwei was still in the bed, received Xu Zhennan's call, after listening to Xu Zhennan's narration, Yang Yiwei was also stunned for a moment, AMD This is too simple, do these shareholders guess that their direct cooperation with intel is yellow, otherwise how can even the power of attorney be ready?
"Do we buy or don't buy?" Xu Zhennan asked helplessly, she was going to talk to Intel about it, who knew that things on Lu Dao's side went unexpectedly smoothly, AMD This is like a robber robbing a beautiful woman, but who knows that this beauty did not resist at all, but met her with some catering, which made this robber have to suspect that this beauty will not have any diseases, right?
Otherwise, why would it be so happy, Yang Yiwei also thought about it, and after thinking about it for more than ten seconds, Yang Yiwei immediately nodded and said, "Sign!" Why don't you sign it. After buying AMD, since AMD is so happy, we don't have to do anything about it, just buy 55% of the shares, and after signing the contract with them, you go directly to Qualcomm and ask them if they are interested in cooperating. ”
AMD's happiness made Yang Yiwei think directly of his other goal, Qualcomm! The leader in the mobile phone CPU, intel is also developing the mobile phone CPU, but his main business is still in the PC and other aspects, the mobile phone CPUintel is not good now, but it will be difficult to say in a few years, but now in the mobile phone CPU industry, the leader is undoubtedly Qualcomm, and Samsung has also developed in the past two years, and there is Apple.
Qualcomm's market is actually shrinking so much that Yang Yiwei naturally doesn't mind plugging in. "I see." Yang Yiwei agreed, and Xu Zhennan agreed without saying a word, and then hung up the phone. Waiting for Xu Zhennan to hang up the phone, Yang Yiwei couldn't sleep here, so he simply got up from the bed, AMD's refreshment was an unexpected situation, originally Yang Yiwei wanted to do it directly in one step, just like cooperating with IBM, cooperating with intel, but now think about it carefully, cooperating with AMD is not a good choice.
Although Yang Yiwei is afraid of trouble and doesn't want to step into this industry, in fact, even if he acquires so many shares of AMD, he doesn't have to pay much experience from Starfall Group, AMD is a healthy company, with its own perfect physique, the big deal is that after the market share increases, the expansion of the factory, in fact, is nothing. On the contrary, in this way, AMD has completely come to life, although its market share cannot exceed intel in a short period of time.
But it will definitely be able to surpass it in the future, so why don't you ask? Konishi can directly scan the architecture structure of the intelCPU, although it can't be used, but it can be used for reference. As for what to do with intel, Yang Yiwei doesn't care if he dies, now it depends on whether Qualcomm is willing to cooperate, but even if Qualcomm is unwilling to cooperate, there are so many mobile phone CPU manufacturers in the world, and you can cooperate with anyone.
As a result, an acquisition that could have stunned the whole world was decided in a time that everyone couldn't believe. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
