ATI and NVIDIA are both things that Roland has in mind, and now that he has the opportunity to hold it in his hands, he will naturally not let it go.

After attending Berkshire Hathaway's shareholder meeting last year, Roland pondered the use of long-arm jurisdiction to swallow ATI, and then waited for an opportunity to take the nuclear bomb factory when Lao Huang was insatiable and was almost delisted by Microsoft.

But now that there is Microsoft's endorsement, these two acquisitions are even simpler to do.

As previously assumed, let James Cameron help himself shake out of the Ontario Securities Commission to investigate ATI's stock insider trading issues? No, no, no...... Don't be so troublesome, just let Microsoft shake out Intel, and the matter is over.

Intel took the lead, and Roland joint acquisition, first swallowed ATI, cleaned up the founder team, and then successively sold shares to withdraw from the company, although the whole process may span a year, but compared with the previous Yahoo case, it is already very fast.

This kind of joint acquisition is all too common in major acquisition cases, and the core of joint acquisition is not that one party has financial problems, but that two parties can acquire at the same time, which can avoid many regulatory problems.

For example, Roland wants to buy ATI, but people don't sell it, so there is actually no good response except for the open robbery under the jurisdiction of the long arm, but if Intel wants to buy, the situation is different, because the federal authorities who want to take the route of monopolistic competition will support Intel's acquisition, and ATI will also seriously consider Intel's offer.

However, if Intel acquires it separately, this kind of monopolistic competition will not be approved by the EU.

Just like Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas, under the pressure of the European Union, Boeing gave up the monopoly supply contracts it had signed with more than a dozen airlines in the United States in exchange for the opportunity to become bigger, while Intel had to acquire ATI alone......

It is not possible to do without bloodletting.

But if it's a joint takeover, with both parties holding 50 percent of the shares, then these problems will be solved.

The EU thinks this is monopolistic competition, and the federal government can also say that there is still 50% of Roland's shares in ATI, and how can this be considered monopolistic competition when it cannot be forcibly annexed?

In this way, the two sides will enter a bargaining link, and if Intel says that it will not expand its shareholding in ATI in any way in the next five years, then the acquisition can already be finalized.

As for why would Intel help?

You'll have to ask Microsoft about this.

In 1995, when Intel was developing processors, it proposed a new technical specification, which could seriously affect the standard of Windows, so Bill Gates personally came to the door, and then Intel personally strangled the release of the new specification.

If you say that you don't make money, forget it.

In addition to those who have a complex relationship with Microsoft that have a complex relationship of both prosperity and loss, Intel is also unwilling to stand in the plaintiff's seat, and in their words, the pricing between themselves and Microsoft is all normal business negotiations.

To put it simply, this is a community of interests.

To put it bluntly, that is the capital huddle.

In fact, many times, when people think that a problem is extremely complicated, it is not because they can't find the optimal solution, but because everyone is not capable of the optimal solution, not only that, but most of the time, this optimal solution will be criticized as opportunistic, but when the opportunistic road appears, it is a person who knows how to choose.

"Are you sure you want ATI and NVIDIA?" Roland's words did not surprise Apple's godfathers.

"Sure, it's good for all of us to win ATI and NVIDIA." Roland smiled and said, "The computer of the future can't live without GPUs, as long as we win ATI and NVIDIA and do it well, we can be one of them." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you, wait for the news, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Because of the eight-hour time difference, when Steve Jobs took the time to call Roland at noon, it was already evening in London, and after hanging up the phone, Roland went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when he walked out again wrapped in a bath towel, he was very comfortable wrapped in a bath towel, which made him extremely enjoyable.

Although there is no physical venting, let alone spiritual recourse, the pleasure that acts on the soul makes him smile from ear to ear - is it because he found Christopher Nolan? Or is it because of "Spy Shadow"? Or can you easily win ATI and NVIDIA? No, no, no...... It has to do with these things, but it has nothing to do with delving into it.

Because what really makes Roland happy is the violation of the rules!

Starting with Yahoo, to Black Hawk Down, to now ATI and NVIDIA......

These three cases made Roland make a lot of money!

But compared to the accumulation of money and the sweep of everything integrated into capital, that is a younger brother!

Yahoo is involved in insider trading, Black Hawk Down is involved in insider trading, ATI and NVIDIA are also involved in insider trading, but the problem is ...... Will anyone pursue this in this regard?

No!

It should be asked, does anyone dare to pursue it?

The Yahoo case is already clear.

TIAA-CREF and Calpers were pulled into it by Carl Icahn.

Who dares to pursue it at this time, that is, to move the pensions of all retired public officials!

The fall of the Black Hawk is also already clear.

When the trade war began, Sony, a Japanese company, had already lost.

Whoever dares to pursue it at this time is a traitor!

ATI and NVIDIA are equally clear.

When participating in the global game with monopolistic competition, more monopolies can be born to ensure that the country has core competitiveness.

Whoever dares to pursue it at this time will have to bear the pot that hinders economic development!

These three mountains are not something that a certain person or organization can afford!

And the rampant in this case made Roland taste the beauty of capital!

Compared with playing a video game alone, compared with appreciating the beauty of a movie alone, this kind of decision to decide life and death with one thought is more fascinating, this is not a look down on all beings, nor is it a plunder of money, but an obsession with power!

Capital brings the right!

The right to quantify the capital!

The right to dominate society!

Because of this, rubbing his head in a small tune is the most joyful portrayal of Roland's heart, and when he dried himself and went into the bedroom, the beauty he saw at a glance made his index finger move.

Kate, who had gone to take a shower as early as when Roland called, was wearing a silk pajamas, reclining on the chaise longue, with her long soft hair tucked on one side, and while going down, it also covered the charm given to the user by the suspender pajamas.

Next to the chaise longue, there is also a round coffee table of the same height, and a book lamp is on it.

Kate, on the other hand, holds her cheek with her left hand and turns the page with her right hand.

Maybe the content of the book is too profound, causing her to brow slightly and concentrate, when Roland stepped on the carpet and quietly entered, she was still concentrating on reading without finding anything abnormal, and when Roland pressed his footsteps and appeared beside her, when she condescendingly peeked at the content of the book, the sudden shadow that appeared startled her-

"Ahh

It's a pity not to do acupuncture, and the big white leg kicked out of thin air.

"Who?"

The sudden figure matched the action of turning in an instant, so that the beautiful back that was a pity not to cupping passed in front of Roland.

When Kate stared and looked up, the hair scattered in front of her added a bit of hazy beauty to the beautiful pair.

And when she saw that her man was lying on the back of the chair, staring at herself with a smile, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, "Why are you floating around like a ghost!" ”

'The wicked sue first?' ’

Roland raised his eyebrows and said, "Eh, eh! I didn't even say a word before you screamed! ”

"The door is always open, and you don't feel it when I'm outside talking on the phone and taking a shower?"

"Suddenly there was no sound outside, don't you wonder?"

"Do you have to wait until I'm close before you make a fuss about jumping up?"

Although Roland is reasoning with facts, at this time, how can a woman admit that she has a problem?

Kate, who was a victim, glanced at Roland fiercely and said, "You can make a phone call for two hours, and there is a long silence during this period, and you don't make a sound at once, how do I know if you are thinking about the problem after the phone call or still listening to others?" How would you react if I suddenly interjected while you were listening to someone talking? ”

'Shhh ’

'Seems like that's the truth?' ’

Roland has always had a habit of talking on the phone, liking to listen to others finish talking about things, and express specific opinions according to the specific situation, so that there will often be a situation where others talk a bunch of things first, and he sits there and listens for half an hour.

At first, everyone felt that this way of coping was a bit perfunctory.

Because of the silence for a long time, it will indeed make the guy on the other end of the phone think that you left the phone aside and didn't listen at all.

But after getting used to it, they will be casual, not to mention, to tell the whole thing at once, this kind of undisturbed narration can also reduce a lot of topic shifts due to questions.

However, for the caller, Roland's approach is very good, but for the people around him, it is actually very annoying.

Because no one knows what Roland, who is in a state of silence, is doing!

So many times, the people around Roland waited for him to come up on his own before continuing to communicate with him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a bad thing if you suddenly disturbed it!

In this way, in the face of Kate's strong words, Roland pursed his lips, feeling that what his mother-in-law said made some sense, and after seeing the surprise on his man's face, the guy who understood that he had won snorted, lay down again, held the book, and continued to read.

That look, I almost didn't write directly on my face-

'I'm angry! Coax me! ’

If it were normal, Roland would definitely put on a smiling face and make amends to the future child's sin.

And Kate, who is pretending, will take care of it, and then spare his father, the future child.

But today Roland is happy!

The tricks he used to use would not be taken out by him.

So, lying on the back of the chair and glancing at it condescendingly, Roland turned around, sat on the armrest, and then leaned on the inside, towards the gap in the chair.

Although Kate is lying on the coffee table to read a book, how much space does a single chair leave for her?

The gap with a large palm is equivalent to nothing for a big man like Roland.

However, the small space also has the advantage of small space, and at the same time, the sense of accomplishment of expanding the territory is pleasant.

And when the whole body is completely included in it, the tightness around the wrapping is even more happy.

"What are you doing!" Feeling the heat coming up, Kate's face couldn't help but strain.

"Since it will scare you to meet again after separation, then we won't separate."

Roland put his arms around his daughter-in-law's waist and rested his head on her shoulder.

This kind of earthy love talk made Kate roll her eyes, too lazy to deal with the fool, and continued to read the book.

But Roland, who was in a happy mood, was not ready to let her go, his eyes swept to the pages, and then asked, "What book are you reading?" ”

Kate didn't say anything.

So Roland took her hair in his mouth again, and kept teasing it on his cheeks.

"Hey! Don't make a fuss! Kate, who was itching, replied, then half-pulled her body and brushed her hair to the other side.

This situation made Roland smile proudly, and his right hand holding his waist naturally got into his pajamas, caressing his abdomen while accurately finding the other party's navel, and then constantly drawing circles along the surroundings.

The sudden rise in sensitivity made Kate purse her mouth, and just as she wanted to turn around and push Roland away in disgust, the man behind her also moved, his thighs raised, resting on his waist, and his body pressed down, taking her whole body into his arms.

The snorting and even breathing was clearly captured by Kate, and it was only at this moment that she realized that something was wrong with her man today.

But just when she wanted to ask if the few phone calls just now brought some good news to Roland-

The guy lying on top of her had already opened his mouth to ask questions.

"Kate?"

"Huh?"

"What kind of person do you think I am?"

"Huh? Why do you suddenly ask such a question? ”

"I just want to know, because you've never spoken positively about me. In addition to praising me for being handsome, praising me for being handsome, praising me for being handsome, you don't have any other expressions at all, making my biggest advantage in the whole body seem to be just handsome. ”

“……”

The narcissistic words almost didn't choke Kate to death, squirming around, turning around with difficulty, when she turned her head and saw her man's face clearly, the unconcealed happiness made her wonder, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?" ”

"You just took the wrong medicine!" Roland replied angrily.

"But you're not usually like that!"

"And what do you think I'm usually like?"

"You usually say everything you encounter! Never beat around the bush! Say the happy things you encounter directly, and say the sad things directly, especially when you encounter happy things in business, you ...... You...... You ......"

"What am I?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"You say!"

"You're going to tell me about your joy as you are now, and then you can't wait to share it with me in bed?"

'Hold the grass! ’

'Am I like an old pervert?' ’

When Roland looked at his daughter-in-law with burning eyes, the affirmation transmitted through his gaze made him speechless.

Okay, he admits that he did it before, but wasn't it because he was happy?

As a guy who doesn't spend a lot of time drinking, isn't it right to do something happy at home with your daughter-in-law?

When such a correct thing comes out of the wife's mouth, how can it have color?

Roland couldn't figure it out.

It doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, because after coming back to his senses, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Well, it turns out that in your eyes, I am such a person."

The extremely pretentious words brought Kate to her senses, "Eh, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I was going to get down to business with you."

"Then say it!"

"But you don't think I'm down to business."

"If you're going around in circles like this, believe it or not, I'll hit you?"

Kate thought it back, she thought that Roland was trying to avoid the previous coaxing by changing the subject.

So while speaking, she also pulled out her two arms and directly wrapped her arms around Roland's neck.

Although she kept saying that she wanted to commit domestic violence against Roland, the raised corners of her mouth betrayed her mood at the moment.

She loves this kind of conversation without nutrition.

Because Roland at this time belongs to her completely.

But just when she was thinking about what kind of words Roland would use to break through her encirclement, Roland suddenly distanced herself from him.

Looking back at the familiar man, Kate heard the most inexplicable question.

"Is the house on Kensington Palace Garden Street good?"

"Huh? I looked at the three homes for sale and thought the one next to the Italian garden near Lancaster Gate was good. ”

"Then buy it, and I'll go with you tomorrow."

"That's it? That's what you want to say? ”

"Yes, by the way, let's see how to decorate, after all...... We're getting married this year......"
