Chapter 495: Fifty Million Arrives
Cheng Yu hung up the phone after speaking.
The other party held his mobile phone in his hand and bowed his head in contemplation.
After thinking about it, I also knew that there was an internal problem.
Someone must have revealed their true purpose in buying this company.
This man thought about the entire takeover team, but he couldn't figure out who this person would be.
However, he also knows that this is not the time to pursue the responsible person, what needs to be dealt with now is the shares in Cheng Yu's hands, and since the other party knows this, it is almost a foregone conclusion to increase the expenditure of this acquisition.
And it has to be done quickly.
Cheng Yu now wants 50 million, but the law firm said before that once it is past two o'clock in the afternoon, when they take over, this number will change.
Of course, the change that the lawyer said cannot be a price reduction, and what awaits Oracle must be another round of price increases.
The company gave this person a death order, he must take all the shares of this company, otherwise he would not have given such a high premium.
But in the previous negotiations, because the time given by the boss was too short, at the beginning of the negotiations, they showed great sincerity, and the price given was almost up to Oracle's largest budget.
This is also related to Oracle's refusal to pay any equity exchange.
Moreover, Morris and others proposed to transfer the shares to Cheng Yu's name first, which also made the entire acquisition team feel that this was their negotiation strategy, but they did not know the inside story, and only thought that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to increase the price.
So basically from the very beginning, the price was given to a price that no other company would have been able to give.
I thought that this would be a smooth signing on Monday and announced that the acquisition was successful.
But who would have thought that Cheng Yu would actually have insight into the real purpose of their acquisition of this company.
With so much for the budget, the person in charge of the acquisition hesitated and called his boss anyway.
At first, the boss was very angry at Cheng Yu's lion opening, but after calming down, he heard his subordinates say that Cheng Yu actually said the number of the patent by name, and he also understood that Cheng Yu was now stuck in their life, even if he was annoyed, he had to make some additions to the initial budget.
After considering the whole situation, he signed the report on increasing the budget, after all, compared to the purchase price of 500 million yuan for the entire acquisition case, 10 million is really nothing.
Just ten minutes after Cheng Yu hung up the phone, the man called Cheng Yu again.
"Mr. Cheng, hello, after our company's research, although we still express our condemnation for your imminent price increase...... Honk...... Toot ......"
As soon as the phone was connected, and before he could finish a sentence, the man heard a busy signal from the phone receiver that he had hung up.
Cheng Yu threw his mobile phone aside and said disdainfully: "Since you kneel, don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and condemn your sister, why do you want this face?"
The man looked at the phone in his hand that had been hung up, and his face was also full of inexplicability.
This guy named Cheng Yu is too unreasonable, we have to pay an extra $10 million here, don't you want us to say a few words?
But helplessly, he could only dial Cheng Yu's phone again.
"Mr. Cheng, was the signal bad just now......? Honk...... Toot ......"
Cheng Yu threw his phone aside again, stood up, and threw the bath towel on the chair.
"Are you sick? Is it a bad signal and you don't have any points in your heart? I have said that I want to be sincere, I want to be sincere, and I am playing with me. ”
After speaking, Cheng Yu simply walked to the swimming pool, and a fierce man plunged into the water and swam happily.
On the shore, on the chair, the mobile phone rang again, but no one answered for a long time.
After swimming for more than ten minutes, Cheng Yu climbed out of the water, walked to the side of the chair, wiped his hair with a bath towel, and glanced at his mobile phone.
More than a dozen missed calls.
Cheng Yu grinned, and said in his heart, can you be honest this time?
Soon, the phone rang again.
Cheng Yu slowly chose to answer and said: "If there is still so much nonsense, all what I said before will be invalidated, and I will not sell the shares." ”
The other party hurriedly laughed and said, "Mr. Cheng, don't be like this." As a result of the company's research, we are willing to raise the purchase price of your shares again, as you wish, to a total of 50 million US dollars. However, please do not communicate with other shareholders because the purchase price on their side is still the original purchase price. ”
"Wouldn't it have been a matter of 10 million dollars, a company as big as yours, right?"
The other party swallowed his anger and said, "Mr. Cheng, then you see, let's sign a contract tomorrow?"
"Do you think I'm very idle? Don't you understand what the lawyer told you before? I'm waiting at the hotel before two o'clock in the afternoon for you to come and sign a contract with me, and I want to see a cashier's check, or a bank transfer certificate. If you exceed two points, the matter of shares will be discussed by the lawyer......"
The other party was shocked, he thought that Cheng Yu was stuck at two o'clock in the afternoon, just to force them to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
Now that they have agreed to Cheng Yu's request, it is logical to sign the contract according to the normal time.
didn't expect Cheng Yu to make inches, and he still asked to sign a contract before two o'clock.
This man really felt the urge to drop the phone directly.
Or I really want to ask Cheng Yu coldly, do you want to be so aggressive.
can think of Cheng Yu's previous performance of being quite unscrupulous, he didn't dare to do this after all.
Continuing to swallow his anger, he said: "Mr. Cheng, you see, it's already half past twelve, and you also know that our Oracle headquarters is in San Francisco, even if we send someone to Los Angeles with a promissory note now, it will be too late." What's more, there are many processes for our company to make this acquisition. It's Sunday and the company's finances don't go to work......"
"These have nothing to do with me, you have to find a way to overcome the objective difficulties yourself. I've made it clear to the lawyer that you came to me to sign a contract before two o'clock, and this matter has nothing to do with them. But if the two points are not reached before, they will start the next step of the process. You have a process to go, don't I have it here? You can't let me be a person who doesn't keep my word, can you? I also have an appointment with the law firm. ”
That man almost wanted to scold, how can you not believe what you say? The negotiated purchase price, your old man took the opportunity to raise the price, and forced us to hurry.
Is that what you mean by keeping your word?
At this point, you can't be untrustworthy, why didn't you treat us like this?
But all this can only be pretended in his stomach, and he will never dare to really say it to Cheng Yu.
As long as he said it, he was afraid that Cheng Yu would not sell the shares in his hand if he was really afraid.
And in that case, the whole acquisition will definitely be aborted.
It is absolutely impossible for Oracle to buy only the rest of the company's shares and let Cheng Yu keep the shares in his hands.
To blame, we can only blame how the company agreed to a veto on technical products when it accepted the investment from Morris and others, even if they became the absolute controlling shareholders of this company, they would not be able to destroy the patent without Cheng Yu letting go.
If Cheng Yu is just a small person, it would be fine to use Oracle to investigate Cheng Yu's background, if Oracle dares to come hard, what awaits them will inevitably be Cheng Yu's counterattack.
And in the business world, Cheng Yu's counterattack is very simple.
He only needs to sell his shares to other IT giants in the United States, whether it is Microsoft, Gugou, or even Sun, so that Oracle can't eat and go around.
At that time, the technology in Oracle's hands will not be able to stand alone, and the loss to Oracle will definitely be in billions.
This person was pinched by Cheng Yu for seven inches, gritted his teeth, and said, "Mr. Cheng, please understand our difficulties...... Honk...... Toot ......"
Malegobi, the phone is hung up again!
This person really wants to grow wings now, fly directly to Los Angeles, and then strangle Cheng Yu, who loves to hang up the phone.
However, he has no wings, and Superman and Batman are just legends after all.
forced himself to calm down, and after thinking about it, this person could only make a phone call to the mobile phone of a certain financial officer of the company.
"I don't care what you're doing now, within twenty minutes, you have to get me to the company. ”
There is no doubt that after this person said this viciously, he hung up the phone call of the treasurer, and did not even give the other party any chance to speak.
After hanging up the phone, the man suddenly felt a special sense of pleasure.
It turns out that the hanging phone that can't help but be said is really cool!
No wonder Cheng Yu likes to hang up on me so much.
Later, he called the head of the branch office in Los Angeles.
"Jeremy, I'm Simmons?? Leonardo. ”
"Oh, Mr. Leonardo, hello. I'm having lunch with my family."
"I don't have time for you to eat right now, I'm sorry, but I can't help it. You know about the headquarters' acquisition of your Los Angeles company, right?"
"Of course, I knew that I was in charge of that matter at the beginning, and it was only after the completion reached 70% that it was handed over to the acquisition team at the headquarters. ”
"Mr. Trester, CFO of the headquarters, I ask you to accept part of this acquisition immediately now. You leave now, and I hope you will be able to reach the Palm Tree Hotel within twenty minutes to find a Chinese man named Cheng Yu. I'll send you more details about him and what you need to do. I will also send you a copy of the contract that you need to sign with him immediately. The other party's attitude may be very bad, but in any case, you must not provoke the other party, and you must complete the acquisition of the shares in Mr. Trest's hands. For the funding part, I will coordinate and solve it remotely while you negotiate with him. All in all, you have to complete the acquisition of his shares before 2 p.m. Understood?"
Actually, there is still some lack of understanding, but Jeremy is very clear that this acquisition is also very important.
When I had preliminary contact with that company, the headquarters repeatedly told him that this matter must be done by him personally, and that he must not let the second person know, and he was the only person who knew about the acquisition.
Even after he had completed a lot of preliminary work, he was summoned by the headquarters to sign a non-disclosure agreement for the acquisition.
This shows how much attention the headquarters attaches to this acquisition.
Therefore, he immediately agreed, and then said to his wife and daughter with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry, I have to go to complete a task assigned by the headquarters immediately." Fortunately, the meal is almost finished, and the mission should be over by two o'clock. I might be able to come back and continue our family meeting today. ”
With that, Jeremy immediately went out and drove to the Palm Tree Hotel at a brisk pace.
On the way, his phone rang twice, both times as an email.
He didn't even have time to take a look, but stepped on the gas pedal all the way to the Palm Tree Hotel.
Leonardo only gave him twenty minutes, and although it was still an hour before two o'clock in the afternoon, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Finally, at about 1:15, he arrived at the Palm Tree Hotel.
After parking the car, Jeremy immediately picked up his mobile phone, found Cheng Yu's contact information first, and immediately called him.
Leonardo has also informed Cheng Yu through text messages that the signing of the contract will be completed by the person in charge of the Los Angeles branch, and the money will be completed by the headquarters in the video at the same time as the contract. After Cheng Yu received the money, he could sign the final share transfer agreement.
Seeing the call coming in, Cheng Yu smiled slightly, he knew that this matter was settled.
After answering the phone, Cheng Yu waited for Jeremy to report to his home, and then said, "I'm here in the pool, I can see you when you come." ”
Jeremy didn't dare to slack off, after all, there were only forty minutes left for him, and walked briskly in the direction of the pool.
As he walked, Jeremy looked at other details about Cheng Yu and the share purchase agreement, and at the same time, glanced at the contract for a moment.
As he passed by the business center, Jeremy printed out the contract, then took the contract in quadruplicate and finally made it to the pool.
The contract shall be made in quadruplicate, one for each party and two copies, and the other two copies shall be kept for the records of the lawyers of both parties.
Cheng Yu saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and a suit and leather shoes appear by the pool, he waved at the man, and Jeremy walked quickly.
"Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Yu nodded and sat up lazily from the chair.
"You may be seated. ”
Cheng Yu pointed to the chair opposite.
Jeremy glanced at it, there were still some water stains on the chair, and he couldn't help but frown.
But thinking that Leonardo sent him the materials that made it very clear that Cheng Yu was a very difficult person to deal with, he must not offend Cheng Yu in any way, even if he was wearing a suit of thousands of dollars, he could only sit down.
"Hello Mr. Cheng, I am Jeremy who just talked to you on the phone, and I am entrusted by our headquarters to complete the acquisition of the eight points of shares in your hands. Here is the contract drafted by our company for this share acquisition, please take a look at it. ”
Cheng Yu nodded, took the contract, and said casually: "This requires the presence of a lawyer, right?"
Jeremy hurriedly said: "Please rest assured Mr. Cheng, I have contacted the lawyer, and he will be able to arrive soon." ”
Cheng Yu didn't say anything more, and looked at the contract in his hand seriously.
He can only look at an approximation, that is, about the details of the acquisition of the contract.
As for the rest of the entire contract, he also needs a professional lawyer to check it.
After receiving Leonardo's text message, Cheng Yu had also contacted the previous lawyer, and he rushed from the law firm to the hotel where Cheng Yu stayed for the second time today.
The lawyers of both sides were present almost at the same time, Cheng Yu handed over the contract in his hand to his lawyer, and then said to Jeremy: "You can connect with your headquarters, I will only sign the contract if I see the transfer successfully." ”
Jeremy didn't talk too much nonsense, just turned on his phone and got in touch with Leonardo with Death.
After the video call was connected, Leonardo still kept enough sanity and greeted Cheng Yu as calmly as possible.
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Okay, I know you hate me now, but it doesn't matter, as long as my lawyer says that there is no problem with the contract text, you can start to transfer money." If the transfer is successful, I will sign the contract. ”
The account number, Cheng Yu kept his company, and the account opened by Shen Zhiqiu in New York can basically ensure that the transfer information is received synchronously.
If you transfer money to China, there will be many changes in the middle.
In an extremely responsible manner, the lawyer carefully read the entire four contracts and confirmed that there were no problems in the contracts - at this time, Oracle would never dare to make any mistakes.
After confirming, he said to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng, there is no problem with the contract. ”
Cheng Yu also nodded, and said to Leonardo in the video call: "Okay, you can let people transfer money." ”
Leonardo's side has long been ready to stop, with the authorization of the company's CFO, although the 10 million funds that Cheng Yuduo asked for still need to wait until Monday to go to work for approval, but the 500 million acquisition money that had been prepared long ago has been lying on the account.
With Leonardo's order, the company's finance clicked the confirmation button, and the $50 million fund was immediately remitted to the account designated by Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu immediately picked up his mobile phone and called Shen Zhiqiu.
"Cheng Yu, why do you remember to call me? It's almost the Spring Festival, and I'm going to go back to China, and I want to visit your house when the time comes......"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm in Los Angeles right now, dealing with some things. Because there is a sum of money to be remitted to our company's account in New York, but I do not have the authority to check the account, I would like to ask you to check whether there is already $50 million in the account. ”
Shen Zhiqiu was slightly stunned and said, "50 million US dollars? Is this the money from the investors you found in the United States, Mr. Cheng?"
"No, it's a bit complicated, let me explain it to you later. Please check your account first. ”
Shen Zhiqiu hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll check it out." ”
After that, Shen Zhiqiu hung up the phone and called the bank again.
It was confirmed that a sum of $50 million had indeed been credited to his account.
However, because the money could not arrive immediately, Shen Zhiqiu carefully confirmed with the bank that the transfer was irrevocable funds, so he replied to Cheng Yu's call.
"Cheng Yu, I have confirmed here, and there is indeed a 50 million remittance. The funds have been transferred from the other party's account, but it will take time for the bank to be credited, and I have confirmed that the money is an irreversible cash transfer. The final arrival time will take about ten hours, and the bank said that it will be operated immediately tomorrow morning, and it is expected to arrive before ten o'clock. ”
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Thank you." When the funds arrive tomorrow, Mr. Shen will have to trouble Mr. Shen to allocate a million dollars from this account and transfer it into the account of a law firm. The reason for the expenses is the lawyer's consultation fee, and the law firm will contact you to handle the formalities. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for the law firm to contact me, and I'll check with you again. ”
After a brief chat, Cheng Yu hung up the phone.
Then, he smiled at Leonardo on the video call and said, "So, Mr. Leonardo, happy cooperation." ”
After that, Cheng Yu took the signature pen handed by Jeremy and signed his name on each of the four contracts.
Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that Cheng Yu was not as difficult as Leonardo said?
He also signed his name on behalf of the company, and the lawyers of both parties also signed and certified.
