Age of Dreams

In addition, Merrill Lynch itself also controls and invests in some promising companies, (Analog Devices Corporation of the United States), and they are included in this way.

The semiconductor industry has been enduring for decades, but because there has been no new breakthrough point, whether it is STMicroelectronics or Tamura Electronics and other well-known semiconductor companies, they have not had a good life. Recently, mobile phones have become smarter, so marketing income has only increased a bit.

In the previous life, MediaTek used the mobile phone chips that swept across China. After making huge profits this year and next year, in the second half of next year, negotiations with Merrill Lynch will begin, and the final deal will be about US$400 million. Price, acquired assets and team related to wireless communication chip products.

Counting down to 400 million US dollars, that is about 3 billion yuan, and that was the price at the end of 2007. At that time, the Qiao gang had already started the era of smartphones, and the tide has risen by a lot. If it is acquired now, it may be possible to buy it now. The price was about 2 billion yuan.

Xiao Qi holds one billion U.S. dollars and spends 300 million U.S. dollars to buy. It is definitely a profitable business, because he knows that if MediaTek had not provided technical support for wireless chips, MediaTek would not be able to continue to monopolize in the 3G era. Low-end smartphone market in Mainland China.

Buying something from Merrill Lynch is definitely more convenient than buying from a company, because as long as Merrill Lynch is a profitable thing, they don’t mind selling it to others, and it’s very refreshing.

In the investment management department, there are many deputy managers who are responsible for this aspect of operation. As long as the price is right, these deputy managers will quickly give accurate answers.

I originally thought that this acquisition was not difficult, but I didn't know that Xiao Qi had just met Dan Ze. The deputy manager of the investment management department at Merrill Lynch Bank’s headquarters gave Xiao Qi a disarm.

Denze is about forty years old, with a typical Slavic face, a clean shaved beard, thick wax on his head, strong cologne spray all over his body, and sharp eyes.

Saw Xiao Qi and Anthony entering his office. Dan Ze shook hands with him plainly and returned to his desk.

"Mr. Xiao." Looking at the previously registered information, Dan Ze said calmly: "You still have ten minutes. Come tell me your purpose."

Xiao Qi looked at his indifferent eyes, with a bad feeling in his heart, but he still handed out a plan that he made, "Manager Dan Ze, this is what I want to buy the wireless chip department of a company under Merrill Lynch. Please take a look at the plan."

Among the various departments of Merrill Lynch, the division of labor is very detailed. Dan Ze is a full-time deputy manager for electronics related categories. I am very familiar with nature.

He calmly turned a few pages with the plan, and then put it down, "The price you proposed is a wireless communication chip-related asset acquired for $250 million. And their R&D team?"

"Yes it is."

"This price is too cheap." Dan Ze refused without thinking: "If you are willing to pay 500 million US dollars, it's not that we can't talk about it."

Xiao Qi couldn't help frowning, "Manager Dan Ze, as far as I know, the revenue of the entire wireless communication chip department was 180 million U.S. dollars the year before, and it was only 170 million U.S. dollars last year. I used 250 million U.S. dollars in cash to buy, It’s already a big premium. Why would you say an unrealistic price of 500 million?"

When Europeans and Americans talk about business, many times they are very straightforward, so Xiao Qi is not afraid to point it out directly.

Dan Ze shrugged, "If you want to buy it to prove that you know the benefits of wireless chips, then naturally you can't calculate it at an ordinary price. Anyway, you Chinese are rich."

Dan Ze has a good deal of business, and when he speaks this, he has the meaning of sitting on the floor and raising the price.

Xiao Qi didn't care about bargaining, but he was disgusted with his last sentence, "Manager Dan Ze, Chinese people do not necessarily have money, and our money is all hard-earned. If you think rich people just Should be slaughtered, so if Bill Gates comes, you will have to ask him 10 billion dollars?"

Dan Ze smiled coldly, "Mr. Gates is the pride of our America, but you are not comparable to the yellow race."

The word "yellow race" has a slightly discriminatory taste in American language. Although it is not as obvious as a yellow-skinned monkey, the color of contempt is still evident.

Anthony, who saw his boss being made things difficult, has never had a chance to play. At this moment, he said: "Mr. Dan Ze, please pay attention to your words, otherwise I will complain to your boss. I have a tendency to racial discrimination! I think the reporters too. I would be very interested to see Merrill Lynch, which is known as a global financial service provider, and there are racist news."

Dan Ze looked at Anthony, said nothing, but the contempt in his eyes did not diminish.

Xiao Qi didn't get angry either, and said in his spare time: "So, you are not going to sell the wireless communication chip department?"

Dan Ze nodded and said, "Yes, at least for now, at your price, we have no intention to sell."

"Do you mean what you mean by Merrill Lynch?" Xiao Qi asked further.

The mockery flashed in Dan Ze’s eyes, “Mr. Xiao, at least in terms of my approval, your leather bag company registered in the Cayman Islands will definitely not pass, because you simply don’t have the ability to develop it. As an owner, I don’t want to destroy the wireless communications chip department after selling it to you."

This is where he has no fear~www.wuxiaspot.com~Qicai Investment now really has nothing. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a leather bag company. No matter what Xiao Qi says about his future plans, he can’t change it. The current embarrassing situation.

But this is not the real reason for Dan Ze not to sell. He purely despises the Chinese and is unwilling to sell this kind of high-tech company to the Chinese, so he found this excuse.

Xiao Qi knew this, but he couldn't refute Dan Ze's selfishness.

Because many companies in the United States are like this, they look down on Chinese people who can only make cheap goods, and think that only white people are the first class.

Since your attitude is so bad, don't blame me for climbing up on Merrill's shoulders!

The boy who didn't intend to use that trick had a decision in his heart.

After his thoughts flashed, Xiao Qi laughed, "Then, Mr. Tanze, let's play a bet!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendation. , Monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
