"Mr. Lu, I've sent you a personal confidential email address."

The administrator took out his mobile phone and sent a message, and waited for less than two minutes to receive a reply, before turning his head and saying to Lu Yi.

As the chief engineer of the nuclear fusion joint project, he led the team to complete the nuclear fusion demonstration reactor from the plan to the reality, not to mention him at this time, even if several bigwigs at the top above will treat Lu Yi equally.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Lu Yi took the personal notebook next to him and opened the mailbox to check the document he had just received.

In China, most of the cooperative units involved in medium-sized and large projects such as nuclear fusion demonstration reactors have state-owned enterprise backgrounds, and a small number of non-state-owned enterprises are either marginal and unimportant and can be replaced at any time, or they are directly driven over to guard you to start production, beware of accidents.

However, most of the winning bidders of Max Planck Labs are from business backgrounds, because their ideology and their market system determine this situation, and at the same time, this can better reduce costs and improve market vitality.

From this point on, it follows Lu Yi a lot of room for operation, the market, capital is king, and interests are the first.

The companies with a valuation of $3 billion in the winning bid were screened out, the companies with state-owned capital components were excluded for the second time, the companies responsible for the equipment and instruments or the construction part were more important for the third time, and the controlling ratio of the controller was screened out for four times to reach absolute control, and finally according to the above psychological assessment and family information, Lu Yi got a list.

"Hello, Mr. Rodney, would you be able to take this call right now?"

After preliminarily screening out the list, Lu Yi took out his mobile phone and called the CEO of a company responsible for the core of the Max Planck laboratory demonstration reactor, that is, the physical control system of the magnetic field coil outside the stellarator.

The call rang a few times before it was connected, and at the moment the call was dialed out, the security personnel behind Huaguo began to try to keep the call line secret, even if they couldn't keep it secret, they would interfere with the monitoring.

"Who are you?" Hearing Lu Yi's unfamiliar voice, Rodney asked with some confusion.

He could tell that Lu Yi's English was not a Western European accent, but more like spoken English produced by other language countries on the school assembly line, because many parts that could be omitted were pronounced.

"I am the chairman of Tomorrow Group and would like to talk to Mr. Rodney about a business merger and acquisition ......"

Lu Yi didn't dwell on it, and wanted to open the topic neatly, but before he finished speaking, Rodney was stunned when he heard the first sentence, but he interrupted him, and said helplessly: "Oh, man, this joke is not funny at all, maybe you should call someone else, it should be easier for them to deceive." ”

In order to take care of Lu Yi's problems in spoken English, Rodney had a hard time reciting every word of this paragraph completely, and then hung up the phone directly after speaking.

What's the situation?

The corners of Lu Yi's mouth twitched a little and took down the phone, and the next moment he said helplessly: "The number that I dialed here is displayed as the number of Li Yashan of Tomorrow Group." ”

"When making a call, the signal passes through our communication base station first, which is technically no problem, but Mr. Lu needs to confirm with Miss Li."

The project administrator also guessed what had just happened when he heard Lu Yi's words, and said with a wry smile, Zhang Qing and Lin Meng, who were sitting next to Lu Yi, had already covered their mouths and snickered, and Lu Yi couldn't even recognize others when he shook his hands.

"Yes."

Lu Yi nodded, knowing that Li Yashan should not have slept at this time, so he sent her a WeChat message to briefly explain the situation, and at the same time took a photo of the selected list for her, and asked her to send an inquiry letter through the official channels of the group.

After tossing for almost ten minutes, Lu Yi called Rodney again.

"Mr. Rodney, I think you should believe me by now."

The phone was connected, Lu Yi heard Rodney's suspicious voice, and said with a smile: "If you still don't believe it, just tomorrow the group should send you a formal letter of inquiry, you can verify and confirm it first, and then we will talk about things." ”

"You should be the actual controller of Tomorrow Group, Lu Bar, who controls 28.5% of the shares of the compression chip, I don't know if there is anything I can help with?"

Rodney understood Lu Yi's identity, and asked with some caution.

Market capital is king, as the reform of global communication standards continues, the shipment of compression chips is also rising wildly, the total valuation of this patent has been raised to $140 billion by the Wall Street vampires, of which the valuation of Tomorrow Group, which has the actual operation rights and 31.5% ownership, also exceeds $50 billion.

Why is it so high, because the original 5G standard is jointly held by the world's major communication giants, you can't help me, I can't help you, everyone can only cooperate.

However, this compression chip technology and patent is unique to an alien catfish.

People are afraid of comparison, so many communication operators in the market, when this catfish successfully opens the gap into the communication market this pond, it is destined to be unstoppable.

The next film next door, oh no, the next game video in seconds, but I still have seven or eight times the time next door, so who doesn't have a blockage in their hearts? Unless you want to be abandoned by your own users, you can only pinch your nose in the face of this situation and agree with the status of the compression chip, and then obediently pay the protection fee.

Cooperate with operators, collect protection fees from mobile phone manufacturers, sell chips to communication equipment manufacturers, as for anti-monopoly? This does not exist, at least not under normal circumstances.

Because every time a market is developed, Tomorrow Group adopts the operation of sub-regional branches, and pulls in local giant groups to cooperate in developing the market.

Although this will lose a lot of profits, it will make more money in the long run, and sometimes this network alone cannot be measured with money.

That's why Rodney is so cautious and even nervous, although he sells mechanical control systems, and Tomorrow Group is currently only in the communications industry, but it can't stand people's money and strong network.

Why did Max Planck Labs sell the WEGA stellarator before?

Isn't it because Tomorrow Group wants to study the stellar, and Max Planck Labs refuses to sell it, and then Tomorrow Group directly finds the investors behind Max Planck Labs, and after a series of interest games and exchanges, in the end, Max Planck Labs and WEGA stellarators become chips on the capital table and are thrown out.

"Does your company sell?"

Lu Yi continued the previous topic, but this time Rodney did not think it was a scam call, but he also did not believe that Tomorrow Group would buy his own company.

"Or what is the liquidated damages for the contract signed by your company's Max Planck Laboratory demonstration reactor?"

Just as Rodri was guessing Lu Yi's purpose, Lu Yi picked up another sentence that made him suddenly realize.

"Mr. Lu, I didn't believe it when it was reported on the news that you became the chief engineer of your country's nuclear fusion project, but now I believe it."

Rodney said with a wry smile, saying that the expression on his face was still struggling, and after saying this, he paused for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "The company doesn't sell!" ”

Everyone understands people, and when Lu Yi asked him what the liquidated damages for the contract signed with the Max Planck demonstration pile were, he guessed Lu Yi's purpose and understood his situation better.

This is no longer a simple commercial merger and acquisition, it involves a national game behind it, and it is far from something that a small figure like him can participate in.

"Everything in the world has a price, not selling it is just a matter of price, as a businessman, you must have a deep understanding of this, the company makes a price, I am not bad for money."

Lu Yi's voice was very calm, but it made Rodney shudder a little.

Confrontations at the national level must also follow the Basic Law, otherwise if everyone is unscrupulous, then the world will not have peace and development.

Therefore, in the face of the construction of the demonstration reactor of Max Planck Labs, unless China is also willing to suspend the construction of the demonstration reactor and at the risk of taking the lead in breaking the rules, it is okay for the state to send people to obtain some information, but it cannot interfere.

Therefore, at this time, the characteristics of the private capital of Tomorrow Group make it a special existence at this moment, and it can use business rules to play a role in cracking down on the commercial market.

Of course, the other party can also fight back within the commercial rules, but the particularity of China, most of the cooperative units are state-owned enterprises, and a small number of them are also armed with guns to guard, who can strike from the commercial rules.

"Mr. Lu, it's useless for you to force me, I don't dare to sell it, and I don't dare to break the contract!"

Rodney is about to cry, a company like him with a market value of only 3 billion and no national capital component will not say that Qualcomm's acquisition of NXP still needs to be approved by the regulators of major countries like Qualcomm before, and it is all his freedom to sell or not.

As for the possibility of violating the law when it comes to selling strategic contracts to foreign capital such as Tomorrow Group, everyone is not a child, and casually controlling a third-party local company behind the scenes can avoid this restriction.

Even in order to open up the international market, Tomorrow Group is now not a purely local Chinese company, but operates in the form of offshore capital and then controlling domestic capital.

Whether to sell or not to sell is his freedom, and others can't stop it, but he can't stand the word "settling accounts after autumn" in this world.

"Mr. Rodney, give you 3 options."

Market capital is king, Lu Yi did not have the slightest politeness, and simply said: "One is to sell the company to me, so that you can get a lot of money, the second is that you deliberately delay the construction period and tear up the contract, and I will help pay for the liquidated damages and losses involved, and the third is that you continue to perform the contract, but Tomorrow Group has been a little interested in the control system industry recently, and does not rule out the idea of investing in your competitors."

The demonstration pile project is someone else's, the company and the money are your own, I hope you understand that once your company goes bankrupt without selling, then you will not get anything.

Don't talk to me about how much the group will lose tomorrow, as I said earlier, I'm not short of money.

Don't doubt that I will do this, you must have been checking my personal information after receiving my second call, and I believe that my experience will have made you understand that I did such a thing. ”

"Hoo ......"

Rodney gasped deeply, and at this moment he was forced to want to scream fuck.

But the picture of the bleak days of those bankrupt businessmen that came to mind made him endure all this, and others he might still believe that he should not do this, after all, the loss is too great, but now he really believes that he will do this on the other side of the phone.

Have you ever seen anyone with a net worth of $50 billion, who is already one of the top ten richest people in the world, but never appears in front of the media, does not carry out various activities, does not care about the operation of his company, does not pretend to be forced, does not enjoy, just stays in the laboratory with a group of scientific research dogs like an ascetic all day long, and even often stays in the laboratory all night.

Rodney had never seen or even heard of it before, and not only him, but many people in the world were curious and surprised by the owner behind Tomorrow Group.

Compared with such an ascetic life, Lu Yi's investment of billions of dollars in just one year is not so exaggerated, although these funds sold more than two companies of Rodney.

"Mr. Lu, you have crossed the line like this, and you will make the Tomorrow Group ostracized by local governments all over the world."

Rodney didn't want to give up, and persuaded him: "I believe that you will definitely sign a commitment agreement with your partners in the process of developing the market, if tomorrow Group is excluded by the local government's supervision, the anti-monopoly investigation fine plus the compensation that does not meet the requirements of the agreement add up to at least 30 billion yuan, are you willing to bear such a big loss?" ”

"This is not Mr. Laurodney's bother, they will beg us to go back in a while." Lu Yi smiled and didn't worry about the situation.

Rodney was silent for a while, and said: "As long as Mr. Lu can guarantee my personal safety, I will sell, if I can't guarantee my safety, then I can only apologize." ”

To be honest, he didn't want to sell the company he had been running for many years, but if he chose to break the contract, the company would definitely not be able to operate.

As for ignoring Lu Yi's continued performance of the contract, the company went bankrupt under the capital crush of Tomorrow Group, and there was nothing.

So on the trade-off, if Lu Yi can ensure his personal safety, then it is wisest to sell the company, and the money from selling the company is enough for him to live a good life in the next life.

If he can't guarantee safety, then he chooses to continue to perform the contract, he believes that he is bankrupt and in power, in order to avoid the death of the rabbit and the fox, he will definitely give himself protection and a certain compensation, although this compensation is not much compared to the company's bankruptcy.

"Congratulations, Mr. Rodney, you have made a wise choice, and I will let someone contact you for the next business mergers and acquisitions."

Hearing Rodney's choice, Lu Yi showed a smile on his face, and said with a confident smile: "As for Mr. Rodney's safety, Huaguo welcomes you......"
