Chapter 1004 I want to teach at a university
Although TF Computer's business performance is not very good, they have accumulated some patented technologies for more than ten years, and a considerable part of these technologies can be transferred to mobile phones.
On a large scale, mobile phones have become more and more like ultra-small computers.
Domestic enterprises do not pay much attention to investment in technology research and development, and the financial and human support usually received by technical departments is relatively pitiful. But TF Computer is a little different, and almost half of its annual profits are invested in R&D.
Zheng Yunlong himself is a doctor of science, so it is natural for him to care about technology research and development, but he has a lot of technology, but these technologies are not well used in products, and the technology has not been transformed into a business advantage.
Some other companies may not have spent so much money to enter R&D, but they are not stingy in advertising and brand building, and how to reduce costs.
"Mr. Zheng, you invest in research and development, and vigorously spend money on technology, this move is actually right. Other companies, don't look at it now, but in the long run, they will one day suffer the loss of no core technology. A great company will never rely on others to breathe all day long to survive for this. One day, as soon as someone stops the technique, they will shout that the game is over. Hu Mingchen looked a little impressed by Zheng Yunlong.
"Hehe, is there a person who recognizes me, it's really hard to find a bosom friend. You know, a lot of my friends have teased me for being too tech-savvy. They really don't understand, and they are too eager for quick success. I have been in the United States, why are they superpowers, to put it mildly, because they have mastered a series of core technologies, if they don't have those high-tech in their hands, will Lao Mei still speak so rudely?" Zheng Yunlong said with a pleased smile.
"Mr. Zheng, we have exactly the same opinion, I think the same as you, if there is no technology in hand, the waist pole will not be able to stiffen, if we did not master two bombs and one star, there will be no good situation today...... Mr. Zheng, we are somewhat interested in acquiring your company, but the price of 5 billion is ...... Hehe, it's still a bit expensive. "Hu Mingchen is now in business, and he admires Zheng Yunlong, but the price that should be cut still has to be cut.
Hu Mingchen is not taking advantage of people's danger, and he is not that kind of person, based on the preliminary intuitive assessment, Hu Mingchen really feels that the price of 5 billion is indeed high.
First of all, it is difficult to continue to use the TF brand, which is equivalent to not having much value in intangible assets. Secondly, the so-called channels of TF computer company, Hu Mingchen really feels that it doesn't matter, they Pengbo Electronics Group itself is now setting up a national sales network and channels, and those agents and distributors of TF computer company will not necessarily change their careers to make mobile phones, and it is not good for people to change to individual computer brands to continue to do it. In the end, what can attract Hu Mingchen is this land and the patented technology they have accumulated before, but this land, in terms of price, is almost 500 million yuan, and this is because Lychee Lake is no longer being built, otherwise, it is worth 300 million at most.
As for those patented technologies, Hu Mingchen himself thinks that their value should not exceed one billion.
After all, technology alone is useless, the key is to be able to use those technologies. Moreover, if the so-called patents of TF Computer Company are not applicable now, they will basically be eliminated after five years, and at that time, they may be sold for 100 million, and many people will be too expensive.
"Since we are the same kind of people, and we are quite destined, if you are really interested, I can make certain concessions and give you a discount. Zheng Yunlong said in a hearty soft tone and meaning.
"Mr. Zheng, what is the lowest price you can get here?" Chen Xuesheng glanced at Hu Mingchen and asked Zheng Yunlong.
"How about a 20% discount, 4 billion? This price is very fair and very cheap, you have acquired our company, and all the technical engineers of the company belong to Pengbo Electronics. Zheng Yunlong stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand and made a gesture.
"Expensive, still expensive, it's hard for me to imagine that any company will spend four billion...... Four billion, if they are all invested in the R&D department, I don't know how many technologies will be generated, or in other words, the large technology companies that have paid four billion yuan abroad may be able to use a lot of more advanced technologies. Hu Mingchen shook his head and said.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen, you guys are a little bit disdainful of our company, just now I thought you were also like-minded, but now it seems that I am a little overestimated. Zheng Yunlong's face sank, and his tone became a little cold.
"No, no, no, Mr. Zheng, you misunderstood, we definitely don't mean to look down on or look down on us, don't misunderstand...... It's just that we have to have one thing to say and two to say, not to mention, this business, the business must always be fair, at least you and I are willing. You may feel that your company's assets are worth a lot of money, but correspondingly, those values need to meet the needs of buyers. Just like going to the south to buy a big cotton jacket in the summer, and going to the north to sell small short sleeves in the winter, no matter how good the item is, it is difficult to sell it at a high price and in quantity. Do you think that's the truth?" Chen Xuesheng hurriedly argued.
"But our company's stuff is really good. ”
"Mr. Zheng, let me take the liberty of asking, have you ever looked for your peers, or have any peers approached you? In the eyes of those peers, how much are your assets worth after evaluation? Have any of them offered a price of 400 million?" Hu Mingchen said with a different line of thought.
"This ...... Because their addition is not suitable, I guess it is not sold, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to wait for you. Zheng Yunlong said a little angrily.
Of course, Zheng Yunlong has been in contact with his domestic counterparts, and there is more than one contact, but the price they offered is too ironic, and the highest price is only 700 million.
"Mr. Zheng, now is a market economy, no matter how good things are, they have to find configuration in the market. Although I don't know what specific price your peers will give you, I believe that the price they give will not be too high, and I guess that they are more interested in your company's current land......" Hu Mingchen looked at Zheng Yunlong's eyebrows and said.
"I don't shy away from saying that their bid is really not high, so I won't sell it to them. Besides, with their style, I won't sell it at a higher price. TF Computer Company is like a child of mine, I want to sell my child now, of course, I hope it goes to a family that knows how to cherish and love well, otherwise, I would rather not sell, lest it be sunk in the corner of the box, and destroy the heavens. Zheng Yunlong stubbornly said with his neck strained.
Hu Mingchen nodded: "I can understand your mood and thoughts, Mr. Zheng, if you look at this, you will make a list of your company's patents to us, so that we can have a room for weighing and consideration." Like you said, we are the same kind of destined people, so if your technology is really useful to us, then we will definitely give you a fair and reasonable price, and it will definitely not make you feel inhuman, what do you think?"
Anyway, it's impossible to finalize it now, this is the first time they've met, and there's no reason to make a deal as soon as they meet.
It is not so easy to acquire a company, there are too many details involved, but it is not just as simple as a price, not to mention the procedures, just how to settle those people in TF Computer Company, and how to deal with the claims and debts of TF Computer Company, it is not something that can be figured out in a few words.
In addition, for technology, Hu Mingchen and Chen Xuesheng are also laymen, and the evaluation of those patents still has to be handed over to He Xin and them to complete.
Therefore, only after He Xin and they have screened and evaluated those technologies one by one, can they have a real price for Zheng Yunlong.
Zheng Yunlong glanced at Hu Mingchen, and then looked at Chen Xuesheng, meaning to ask if Hu Mingchen's words could represent what he meant.
"Mr. Zheng, I also mean this, what we Mr. Hu said can represent me. Chen Xuesheng hurriedly agreed.
"In that case, I'll make arrangements. Zheng Yunlong paused for two seconds, and then began to instruct the assistant accompanying him to retrieve and sort out the information.
While waiting for the information, Hu Mingchen shifted the topic to life.
It's much easier to talk about life than about work and trading.
"Mr. Zheng, are you planning to retire? Do you want to travel around the world to enjoy the joy of family life?"
"I'm a person, if I really dislike it completely, I really can't be idle, I haven't thought about traveling around the world, but I'm tired of being in the business world again. If possible, I'm going to teach at a university. Zheng Yunlong drank the tea ceremony.
"To teach?" Chen Xuesheng was surprised by Zheng Yunlong's choice.
"Why, Mr. Chen thinks I'm not good? I have a doctorate degree from a European and American university, and I have run a company for many years, even if I am not very successful, I should still be able to teach in a university. I have a classmate who is a professor at Langzhou University, and he persuaded me to go, and the school will give me the treatment of a professor, not to mention, I am really a little moved. It's a pity that I can't get out of my body at the moment, and when I have that free time, I don't know if the ivory tower may be more suitable. ”
