Chapter 12: The Wicked Guest
Zhu Cheng endured this breath, but some people didn't want Zhu Cheng to endure it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He can't make a fortune if he wants to.
Zhao Ling entered the general manager's office with a copy of the information, and his face was not good. Said coldly: "The investment group is here again, this time the Carlyle Group is the first, the Carlyle Group has a lot of industries, the most famous investment case is Pacific Insurance, and China Postal Group, Yashili Group has investment. This time it's a big problem. ”
It's still coming.
Zhu Cheng took the document, the same frost on his face, he worked hard to start the brand of the battle shield app, and worked hard to manage the brand of Cree, after all, did he not escape this fate?
Investing is only for profit, Zhu Cheng welcomes it very much, but these people are not simply for profit, but more for the long-term occupation of his shares, to create a legend with a small and broad.
And once Cree accepts, it is destined to become a stepping stone for these groups, a case for their publicity, and a talking point, how many companies can avoid being invested and slump after divestment?
How many more companies have been able to fully reclaim their shares? Accepting investment will only leave a mess of bad debts that cannot be cleaned up.
He's not the kind of guy who doesn't have the capital and needs to look for venture capital.
He doesn't need to! However, this time, the other side rushed to come. Zhu Cheng pulled the copywriter and said, "Is the representative of the investment company here?" ”
"Coming, in the conference room, do you want to meet?"
"Let's see it when you come, although it's not good, but the person who comes is a guest, remember to pour water for people, don't lose the courtesy, understand?" Zhu Cheng straightened out his collar.
The representative of the investment company I met was a professional team, and sitting in the middle was a tall Caucasian person, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a suit and leather shoes with a literary atmosphere, and a high nose bridge. Eye sockets are deeply sunken.
Followed by three domestic people, their kneeling and licking posture, one person indicates that the Caucasian in the middle is the leader.
"Zhu Cheng, Cree... Boss. When he introduced himself, he still followed the unanimous statement of Cree employees, boss, although a little dirty.
Someone muttered in the ear of the Caucasian led by him, this person should be the translator, and the Caucasian raised his head and smiled and said, "Coredi. Andreas. Just call me Credy. ”
"Mr. Andreas is from Germany?"
"Mr. Zhu, your knowledge is in line with your talent, my ancestors are indeed from Germany, the Vienna Parliament led to the restoration of the aristocracy, and my great-grandfather immigrated to the United States for refuge, he thought there would be a war, but obviously not." Coredi replied with a smile, pointing to the stool in front of him and motioning for Zhu Cheng to sit down.
This is a provocation, the master did not stand up to greet him when he entered the door, and motioned to Zhu Cheng to sit down with the attitude of the master!
Keruidi glanced left and right, and the person next to him quickly spoke: "Mr. Zhu, we are here this time to represent the Carlyle Group's investment in Cree, which is under your name. ”
Another person also replied: "Mr. Andreas, you have come with great sincerity, as long as you sign this contract, our cooperation will be reached." Take a look. ”
After this person finished speaking, he handed out a document, and Zhu Cheng resisted the urge to splash water on the faces of the two people, and opened the document handed over and looked at it twice.
He took a few big breaths before he couldn't hold back his temper and asked coldly, "Who set this price?" 19 million US dollars, I want to take 79% of the shares of Cree, it is too visionary! ”
$19 million is only 120 million RMB, and Cree is just in the primary part of VB advanced programming, and he has made a lot of money by 200 million, and such an acquisition price is a direct robbery.
"Mr. Zhu, we also look at the potential value of the Battle Shield app and the prospect of the Cree Forum, and the market value is evaluated, and the price is very reasonable!"
Ke Ruidi stretched out his hand to stop the person who wanted to speak, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, how much do you want?" There is an old Chinese saying that if you ask for a price all over the sky, you will pay it back on the ground. How much do you say you want? ”
This Carlyle company came to the door with a hostile takeover attitude, and Zhu Cheng still has a good face, which means that he is well-cultivated.
"The market value of the Battle Shield app alone is about $10 billion, and how much is the Cree Forum, a forum for a group of the world's top geeks, worth? If you want to buy a 79% stake in Cree, you will need to pay at least $15 billion to negotiate. ”
"It seems that Mr. Zhu doesn't know much about our Carlyle Group, and the Carlyle Group doesn't have many resources on the surface, so how can we become the world's largest investment company with those resources? The Carlyle Group is one of the founders of Silicon Valley, if Mr. Zhu still doesn't understand what it means. I continued to help explain. ”
"We have a stake in every Silicon Valley company! That's why we, the Carlyle Group, came to make the acquisition, not the Blackstone Group. Or other investment groups, we came, indicating that we are the strongest. Do you understand what I mean? ”
"We have resources, connections, and influence in the Internet field that you can't imagine."
Although there was not a single threatening word in Creedi's words, there was not a word that was not a threat, although Credi's voice was low, but it was loud.
This is the business giant of Wall Street!
"What will you do if I don't agree to sell my shares?" Zhu Cheng asked with a smile, he didn't like to be threatened, especially after experiencing the affairs of the research institute, he was even more reluctant to be threatened.
When he came out of the research institute, he just wanted to feel comfortable, and at this time, someone came from the United States to take him Kerui at a low price.
Before Credy could speak, the person next to him said loudly: "Don't agree to sell?" What will we do? Do you know how many short-lived companies have disappeared over the years? If you don't agree to the acquisition, the consequences will be unimaginable, young man, I advise you to think about it carefully! This is Carlyle talking to you! ”
"19 million want to take my shares, stop daydreaming! The company's shares will not be sold for any money! Zhu Cheng replied without hesitation. The voice was cold.
Keruidi opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Zhu, are you talking about the $15 billion acquisition of 79% of Cree's shares?" This price is really a bit too high, can you talk about the price? ”
"Shares are not sold! Needless to say, don't send it. Zhu Cheng still replied firmly. Originally, he didn't plan to buy shares, and seeing that they were just polite.
Of course, Ke Ruidi could hear the meaning of driving people inside, stood up, leaned over and stretched out a hand, and said lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Zhu, although we don't get along well!" But looking forward to meeting again, and we will definitely meet again! ”
He is confident that the acquisition of the huge Carlyle Group is something that no one can refuse!
Zhu Cheng looked at the figure of Credi leaving, staring at the bilingual contract in Chinese and English and had nothing to say. This is capitalism, where acquisitions do not make a difference.
He had been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the patience of these people was very poor, and they were also very fast.
……
"Ignore them! We are in the country, what else can they do? Fists can't solve problems, you just beat him, you can't solve any problems, and you get into a lot of trouble. Zhao Ling helped Zhu Cheng rub his temples.
"I like to be impulsive at most, but I don't like to hit people, can you not keep saying that I like to hit people? It's true that I'm the king of fights at school, that's why they provoked me, and in school, it's just that the students are childish. Out of the campus gate, I'm like..."Zhu Cheng couldn't go on, he also beat someone in the research institute, that person stole his information, and his flesh and blood were blurred when he took off his glasses.
"You still say, do you fight less? Out of school, you don't miss out! By the way, what about your glasses? Zhao Ling naturally knew Zhu Cheng's problem, and suddenly remembered that Zhu Cheng didn't seem to have glasses for a long time.
"I don't want to bring it. In other words, the Carlyle Group will definitely not end up like this, how to deal with it? That's what he's most worried about right now.
Zhao Ling was also worried when he heard this.
Zhu Cheng's battle shield app has become a general trend, at this time, whoever jumps out is a mantis arm as a car, and he can't do anything about himself. The Big Three of operators are examples. However, the Carlyle Group is obviously prepared, otherwise it would not be so arrogant.
What exactly did they catch? He was even more puzzled. His main product is still the Battle Shield app, and this 10 million reward is still on the official website of Cree. So far, it has not been breached.
But he was a little faintly worried, he had heard a sentence, the highest martial arts, never far away from the rivers and lakes, but in the high tower of the court, put it on the shelf.
Murphy's Law tells him that the more he worries, the more it will happen, and sure enough.
A number of Silicon Valley Internet companies jointly issued a statement, saying that they cracked the Battle Shield app, in line with the principle of healthy competition, did not publish all the source code, and issued a screenshot of part of the code in order to prove that it was indeed cracked.
If things come to this, this is a contest between gentlemen, Zhu Cheng will choose to update the Battle Shield app and re-encrypt it, which is the norm for software companies, and he will also face it with dignity.
But Silicon Valley Networks' statement accuses Cree of stealing customer information! A data link was posted for the Battle Shield app to collect user information.
Zhu Cheng flipped through and looked at it, the source code on it was indeed the source code of the battle shield, but they didn't have an algorithm to translate, and they didn't pull out the dark pile code, they just got a bunch of garbled code.
As long as he doesn't release the advanced version of VB advanced programming, no one will be able to understand the meaning of these codes.
It's just that the following accusations are complete slander! Of the ten sentences, nine are half true and half false, which is the most likely to arouse suspicion.
He stretched out his hand, the sunlight shining through his fingertips, hitting the ground, he put his hands together, making hand shadows on the ground, thinking about how to respond.
Obviously, there is no way to solve the fight. In his opinion, this is the Carlyle Group's declaration of war against Cree and the declaration of war on Zhu Cheng.
The war between the Carlyle Group and Cree began. Cree has won all the scattered geeks in the world, Cree has won the communications triumvirate, and now he's about to take on the Carlyle Group, and unless he's willing to sell his stake, it's a battle to the death.
