Chapter 146: Overclocked Permanent Magnet Motors and the Plateau That Will Be Rewarded! (2)
Walking into this conference room, Gao Yuan met the legendary Chen brothers, all of whom were young people in their thirties, wearing glasses and a polite appearance, wearing a full suit and a straight tie.
Both sides are seated on either side.
The lineup on the plateau side is luxurious, Su Jiuzhou, the boss of the aerospace group, and Han Chang, the youngest director of the General Logistics Department, are all extremely important figures in the system.
As for the Chen brothers, they were followed by some financial and legal personnel, as well as representatives of venture capitalists.
"Mr. Gao, I finally met you!"
"Kunlun Chasing the Moon Plan, it's really amazing! After watching your live broadcast, I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night! ”
"There is also carbon nanotube technology, if a multilayer structure is developed, it has the potential to replace silicon wafers!"
"Our brothers have all changed to solid-state battery cars, what I didn't say, the battery life is too awesome!"
The Chen brothers shook hands with Gao Yuan very excitedly, and their excitement was beyond words, they didn't look like the person in charge of the company who came to negotiate at the moment, but more like a little fan brother who saw an idol, and his face turned red.
"In business, two Mr. Chen, let's talk about business first."
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, a middle-aged man in a black suit suddenly spoke out to dissuade him.
The Chen brothers think about it, they are also the presidents of listed companies, even if they don't care about their own face, they must also consider the interests of investors and shareholders.
Gao Yuan looked at the person, it seems that he should be an investment banker, in the past few years since its establishment, Cambrian has taken a lot of money from venture capital, so the capital force has been meddling in the operation and development of the enterprise.
"The two Chen brothers are also thunderous in Huaxia, I think that when Huawei launched the Kirin 970 chip, your 1A artificial intelligence NPU was built-in, and I was also excited."
In fact, the plateau dialect is only half spoken, and the flower was originally used in Cambrian, so why didn't it use it later, and changed to its own da Vinci NPU?
It's not that the unclear venture capital behind Cambrian is making trouble, you know, among the major shareholders of Cambrian, in addition to state-owned assets, the conscience of the American imperialists, Ali's father, etc., are all impressively listed, many times, the Chen brothers don't count at all, if you want to link Liu Zong's words, do you dare to listen?
You must know that Mr. Liu himself is not terrible, what is terrible is his Taishan Club, as well as a large group of capitalists and vested interests in the club.
In the past two years, the conscience of the US imperialists seems to have suddenly changed their sex, not to mention anything else, at least the notebook product line is doing well, so public opinion has gradually improved, and the wind has not been as crotch-pulling as it was in the first few years.
But if you dig deeper, they are not forced by flowers.
In 2016, when Hua Wei launched the first generation of MateBook, Yu Chengdong let go of cruel words, "Sooner or later, Huawei will be the first in the PC field!" ”。
As of the second quarter of 2020, the market share of Huawei notebooks has reached 17%, ranking second in the Chinese market, and it is six percentage points away from wanting to connect.
Therefore, some companies have made breakthroughs because their culture has innovative R&D genes.
And some other comprador enterprises, the reason why they changed was purely forced.
Things in the world have always been like this, and what kind of cause there is, what kind of fruit will come about.
It's like a dog can never change eating, the only difference is that Bian Mu is smart and knows how to eat secretly, Erha is stupid, and he gnaws wildly in front of humans, so he is beaten violently.
Capital will always have the mission of sucking blood and harvesting leeks, and if capital does not suck blood, then they will have no meaning of existence, unless there can be an idealist capitalist like Gao Yuan in the world.
However, the paradox of this matter lies in the fact that an idealist can never become a capitalist unless he hangs up, and a naïve idealist is never a match for those black-bellied businessmen.
For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Gao Yuan's mind.
He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if he had also found venture capital and had to be monitored by wind representatives in everything he did.
After a little greeting, Gao Yuan went straight to the point and said: "Two Mr. Chen, I might as well say it directly." ”
"As we all know, our Kunlun company has so far been a group of industrial parties that purely do hardware."
"But in this day and age, only industry is a disability, and software is needed to do it."
"Take the Kunlun Chasing Moon Project as an example, we can build flying cars now, but we still lack suitable flight control software, AI software, automatic driving software and so on."
"To solve this problem, we want to buy your company in its entirety."
The Chen brothers were stunned, and Chen Tianshi was puzzled: "Mr. Gao, this company is all our hard work." ”
Chen Yunqi said: "We are very interested in providing AI chips for Kunlun Chasing the Moon, all-round cooperation, even if anyone gives some money, we are willing to go all out, but the acquisition, do you want to think about it again?" ”
Before Chen Yunqi finished speaking, the venture capital representative on the side suddenly interrupted him, "Two Mr. Chen, let's listen to Boss Gao's offer first." ”
When the Chen brothers heard this, they all frowned, but they did not dare to go against the wishes of the investors.
Gao Yuan looked at all this, and sighed in his heart.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that if the bid is right, the capitalist will not hesitate to sell the rope that hangs him, and this is indeed the case.
Mr. Lu Xun: You don't even have [Capital] on me? Aren't you afraid that Marx will talk to you about life in the middle of the night?
Gao Yuan didn't answer, and gave Cao Feiyu a look.
Cao Feiyu said lightly: "Our bid is 70 billion yuan. ”
When the other party heard the numbers, they were all stunned, the Chen brothers were obviously moved, this is not only the question of money, after the acquisition, Cambrian is a member of the Kunlun company, deeply involved in the Kunlun moon chasing project, with an exciting and longing future.
"Impossible." The venture capital representative shook his head very resolutely and said: "As a listed company on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, our current market value is about 70 billion yuan, and the stock price even reached 120 billion yuan when it was the highest!" Can't you think of a premium to take over Cambrian, the most promising company in China? ”
"Don't think I don't know, in addition to artificial intelligence, Cambrian also has a strong chip design team, and it is rumored that your carbon nanotube technology, once it breaks through to a multi-layer complex structure, will develop towards the chip field."
"Therefore, Cambrian's artificial intelligence team is an urgently needed resource for the Kunlun Moon Chasing Project, and the chip team is what you will definitely need in the future."
Gao Yuan frowned, these shrewd venture capitalists are indeed not easy to deal with.
Yes, Gao Yuan does want to kill two birds with one stone, and win the chip team and the artificial intelligence team at the same time, in addition, one of the Chen brothers is a good man in the chip field, and the other is an artificial intelligence expert, and they are also an important reason why Gao Yuan hopes to acquire Cambrian.
Cao Feiyu said: "The market value is everyone's expectation of you, since you went public, the market value has been falling, from 120 billion, to less than 70 billion today, which just shows that the market thinks you are not worth so much money." ”
"In 2019, your loss even reached 1179 million, and in 2020, your loss will be more than 500 million.
Cao Feiyu got to the point, since Hua Wei broke off the cooperation with Cambrian, their situation has been getting worse and worse, and they have always been losing money.
Although both chips and artificial intelligence require astronomical wealth to smash, but if the money is smashed, it may not be successful, and it depends on timing and luck.
After thinking about it, the venture capital representative said: "70 billion yuan in cash? ”
Cao Feiyu affirmed: "Cash." ”
The venture capital representative said: "Full payment? ”
Cao Feiyu shook his head and explained: "Our company is a R&D-oriented enterprise, and it does not produce products itself, mainly charging technical licensing fees, and doing long-term business. ”
"For example, we charge an average of two yuan for each solid-state battery, and it is expected that this year and next year, the production and sales of solid-state batteries will be at least 2 billion, and we will collect 4 billion yuan in licensing fees, and in the year after that, the licensing fee should rise to 6 billion yuan."
"So what?" The venture capital representative interrupted Cao Feiyu very rudely, "Please don't be verbose this gentleman, our time is very valuable, let's talk about the point." ”
Scold~
Gao Yuan saw that Cao Feiyu, who had always been gentle and elegant, was rarely angry.
But after all, he still has a high level of cultivation, so he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "We do a long-term business, and the basic investment is very huge, several R&D bases are built at the same time, and the recruitment scale of thousands of people per month is large, so there is not so much cash flow for the time being, and we need to pay in installments." ”
"Rest assured, our company's future earnings are very strong..."
"Say no more! I don't care what the future holds. Again, the venture capitalist interrupted Cao Feiyu, "The offer of 70 billion is already outrageous, and you still have to pay in installments?" Is this a clear attempt to take advantage? ”
"To tell you the truth, if it is 70 billion installments, there is no need for your Kunlun Company, we want to use the right of first refusal to privatize Cambrian directly!"
It is normal to negotiate this kind of thing, and it is normal to ask for money to pay back, but the attitude of the key person is questionable and too aggressive.
After all, Gao Yuan is not an ordinary businessman, and judging from his past methods, he is very temperamental.
"Mr. Liu, I don't think the price of 70 billion is outrageous, and installment payments are not impossible to consider." Chen Tianshi said.
He is already a little anxious, as the founder of Cambrian, but he was kidnapped by capital to such a point, he doesn't say anything, I have to say that it is also a kind of sadness.
"Mr. Chen, please pay attention to your identity, we are responsible for the interests of the majority of investors!" The venture capital representative, surnamed Liu, raised his voice and said righteously.
Chen Tianshi didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by the representatives of the management in public, his face was pale for a while, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't spit out a word for a long time.
By now, Su Jiuzhou and Han Chang, who were beside the plateau, had begun to look ugly.
Everyone is a Chinese enterprise, why is there such a big gap?
But suddenly, a change abruptly appeared.
Seeing Gao Yuan shrugged his shoulders, stood up and stretched, and strode out, "Since we can't talk about it, then let's not buy and sell it." ”
"Everyone, see you later."
Seeing that Gao Yuan was leaving, Cao Feiyu did not hesitate to put away the document bag, Su Jiuzhou and Han Chang felt that it was a pity and should talk about it again, but Gao Yuan, the main master, had withdrawn, and they had no reason to stay.
So, the group came and withdrew, leaving only the Chen brothers and the venture capital representative surnamed Liu stunned in place.
In fact, they also want to talk about it again, they have been losing money for many years, and Rao is investor is wealthy, and he wants to retreat at the moment.
It's just that Kunlun Company is now in the limelight, and it is a big piece of fat meat, and the management feels that if you don't gnaw a piece of meat from the plateau, you really can't live with your vulture zodiac.
Other companies can sell 70 billion yuan, but Kunlun Company can't, which is called a big eater.
Ay~
The young man was really angry, so why did he leave.
The venture capital representative surnamed Liu is regretting and being depressed, and how to explain to the investor later.
Suddenly, he heard Gao Yuan say to Cao Feiyu lightly outside the door: "Notify the strategic partner to cut off the supply of solid-state batteries and carbon-based materials from Xianglian Group." ”
