Mansour has much more on his mind: the Abu Dhabi Sheikh is old and now in charge of state affairs with the Crown Prince, who is now in his fifties. The deputy crown prince is Mansour's own brother, and the future deputy crown prince will depend on his ability, and the inheritance system of brother to brother is not popular in Abu Dhabi.

This family is much more low-key than the Saudi family and the Rashid family in Dubai, and even less famous than the Qatari royal family.

When Qatar and Dubai, two left-to-right neighbors, became more and more famous in the world, Abu Dhabi was unknown, and even tourists who came to the United Arab Emirates once thought that the capital of the United Arab Emirates was Dubai, and other cities became like dicks eating dirt behind their butts.

The Al Nahyan family decided to change this and also think more about the absence of oil resources. Mansour, who was young and enterprising, and had an American education, stood out among the princes and tested the waters for reform.

In the past two years, Chen Bo has continued to refresh various records, and he can still mix well after the bursting of the Internet bubble, not only attracting countless young people with dreams to devote themselves to the wave of Internet entrepreneurship, but also snatching food from the US government and picking out more than 200 million US dollars.

The fact that the unfinished projects of Dubai Cyber City can be revitalized is enough to prove his ability. Mansur has a heart, Chen Bo has an intention, and the two sides almost hit it off, so they formed a small alliance with certain interests.

Education no matter where it is, as long as there is foresight, it will be valued, which is a good thing that is extremely beneficial to the development of the country, Chen Bo's first suggestion of course won Mansour's mind, a university that can be passed down for centuries will let no math students remember his founder, and it is a huge net after a long time, which is beyond doubt.

If he came up, he would be asked to invest tens of billions of dollars to build the tallest building and the most magnificent tower.

Then in his heart, Chen Bo will inevitably be labeled as unreliable and shitty luck.

Now not only did he give a good suggestion, but he even brought in members of the Rockefeller family, which had to be sideways.

In addition to the planning of this research university, Chen Bo went to Baniyas, a small island owned by the Al Nahyan family, located in Baniyas, north of Abu Dhabi, accompanied by Mansour.

The island is a completely private territory, with no inhabitants, all desert saline land, which has been governed for more than 40 years and is almost covered with greenery. The investment is quite huge, and tens of thousands of various animals make up a rather characteristic nature reserve.

Interestingly, there is also a Christian monastery founded in 600 AD, which was abandoned around 750 AD and is still intact. It's just that there are no believers and priests.

Usually only chiefs and royalty come for a holiday, but such a pleasant island in the desert is certainly a unique tourist resource.

Chen Bo proposed that TripAdvisor should plan that Abu Dhabi could build a pristine five-star hotel here, and the rich people like this quiet and close to nature environment the most, and it will definitely be a pearl of the Persian Gulf in the future.

Al-Mansur was in favor in principle, but only had to seek the chief's consent, since he had no right to decide.

If you want to make an analogy, Dubai is more equivalent to Pengcheng, which has created countless miracles, then Abu Dhabi will naturally be a Yangcheng that focuses on humanistic feelings, which will not compete with the younger brother for fame and profit, but also achieve diversified economic development.

The Abu Dhabi Tourism Board has not yet been officially established, and Mansour is only the Minister of Culture and Sports, so the two suggestions are enough to add a strong sum to his credit book, and when he goes further, Chen Bo naturally has more options for him to choose from.

Chen Bo led a group of people to eat and drink in Abu Dhabi, anyway, someone paid for the whole process, and the environment here is more comfortable and pleasant than Dubai, and it feels like a vacation.

After staying for seven or eight days, Chen Bo set off, except for Gao Yuanyuan, who returned to China. Alyssa continues to supervise work in Dubai, and after marginalizing her since last year, she is now no longer working as a personal assistant.

But he still remains in the company, which is the meaning of the above, and it is not aimed at him, but the Middle East.

In this case, Chen Bo will not embarrass her, as long as he does not interfere in some important issues of the company, he is still willing to give her an identity, such as the position of construction supervisor of Dubai Science and Technology City.

After saying goodbye to Mansour, the group set off for England, and the case for the acquisition of ARM was already in sight, and although Hoffman's blitzkrieg was beautiful, he was still needed to attend the final communication with the other party's board of directors.

ARM is well-known in the IT circle, but not one of the ten people who ask it outside this circle may know about it, and they may not know much about it in the small circle of the Internet.

The predecessor of this company is Acorn, the main business is the research and development and manufacturing of chip architecture, and Apple, Nokia and other companies have cooperated to develop a lot of microchip instruction sets, but in terms of chip manufacturing, who can compete with Intel, the overlord of the chip industry?

So in the early 90s, acorn, which was in financial crisis, was spun off from the chip design department by Apple and VLSI with a $3 million injection, and at the beginning there were only 12 people crammed into the warehouse because of financial constraints, but such a company is famous for specializing in the design of ARM architecture chips.

After completely abandoning the burden of production and sales, ARM only focuses on technology research and development, and licenses the patents obtained, regardless of the brand is not well known. But it affects two-thirds of semiconductor companies and even the appliance manufacturing industry.

No, because the efficient, energy-efficient ARM chip architecture is really good, and the licensing fee is very low. Today, more than 200 million chips using the ARM architecture are shipped every year. Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, etc. are all authorized users of them, which can be said to be all over the world.

Although the revenue is 350 million pounds and the profit is only about 80 million, the market value is as high as more than 2 billion.

And the shareholding structure is relatively very dispersed, although Apple once held about 45% of the shares, but after the listing in 98, it has been thrown out one after another, and now there is no one left.

It can be deduced from the timeline that Jobs had returned when he went public, and he opposed everything to his sworn enemy, which is very in line with the jealous and hateful style of this stubborn old man, although Apple still uses the ARM chip architecture, but it is still ruthlessly abandoned.

There is no doubt that he will regret this decision.

ARM is listed on the London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, and has more than 40% of the shares outstanding, except for minority shareholders and some of the shares held by employees. The remaining majority is in the hands of VISL 20% and Lehman Brothers 14%.

It's not hard to get these two things done, but you have to convince the board of directors to nod your head and agree that if you want to buy a full deal, you have to go through multiple reviews in the UK, the EU, the US and so on before it can be finalized.

The UK and the EU are just scrutinizing, why should the U.S. still censor it? Isn't this TMD a naked hegemony?

In fact, there will be such anti-monopoly investigations in various countries, one is to protect local enterprises, most of the authorized companies are American companies, and they are indeed qualified to do so in terms of business scope.

There are also mergers and acquisitions between large companies in China, although they do not involve business in China, but most people don't know about it.

If it is acquired in the name of Ant Search Pengcheng headquarters, it will actually be more troublesome, first report to the Ministry of Commerce for approval of the acquisition plan, and also report to the People's Bank of China to prepare foreign exchange.

Therefore, the overseas acquisitions are all handled by the branches, and the management is globally unified, but each company is independent, so it does not involve such troublesome problems, and it also indirectly improves a lot of efficiency problems.

Headquartered in Cambridge, just a block away from Ant Search's European branch, ARM has been able to grow to where it is today.

There are many people called Chambers, and this surname is more common, such as the famous president of Cisco, and some black athletes.

But sitting in front of Chen Bo was Stuart Chambers, chairman and president of ARM. An old British man with an authentic London accent, meticulously combed blonde hair, and rimless glasses tucked between the bridge of his nose, seemed to be like a professor at Cambridge University next door.

"Your company has been one of the brightest stars in the IT industry recently, but the ARM Board of Directors remains skeptical about your proposed acquisition." Chambers pushed his glasses and said bluntly.

"That's why I'm here, to dispel our doubts and barriers, and to make the final deal." Chen Bo said with a smile that Ant Search is now standing in front of ARM like a giant, although this giant is a bit empty, but self-confidence is out.

"In that case, it's for the best." Chambers nodded, very satisfied with his attitude, and then said, "ARM can better reflect its value by maintaining independent operation, and the board of directors firmly opposes the wholly-owned acquisition of Ant Search, whether it is open competition in the chip market or the operation of the company itself, it is precious, this is the premise of all negotiations, if you can't agree to this condition." Even if a hostile takeover is launched, the board will fight to the end. ”

It's a typical ugly thing to say ahead, but it's also good, at least to tell you where the bottom line is.

"Well, no problem, I agree." Chen Bo frowned and responded, after analysis, he had already dispelled the idea of a wholly-owned acquisition, and it was not his forte to involve industrial design, coupled with the difficulty of operation, he had to take care of the reaction of the two stock markets, and it was the best plan to choose the holding company instead.

So he pushed the boat with the current, but on the surface he had to pretend to be a difficult struggle before making a decision.
