Chapter 1225 The Biggest Gain that No One Knows About

The ARM company in early 2003 was no longer the little-known small workshop it was before 2000.

I have to admit that the founders of ARM are really flexible. Although Intel was disgraced in the field of desktop PC chips, such setbacks inspired them and helped ARM find its true development path.

Of course, there are factors that make it easy for the boat to turn around.

This new company founded in a barn not only made the wise decision to change its business model, but also boldly retreated from the desktop PC chip field and entered the mobile chip field.

Officially, such a crazy decision successfully allowed ARM to survive and initially show its strength.

But infinite glory is at the top.

Today's ARM company is still a full mobile Internet era away from its most glorious peak.

Therefore, before the mobile Internet era fully begins, it is definitely a wise and wise idea to find a way to join ARM's board of directors.

In contrast, Apple arbitrarily withdrew its capital from ARM for the original 1.5 million pounds. If they knew that they would not be able to buy back the 8.5 billion U.S. dollars after many years, would they feel any special regret...

As for whether he can successfully take over the rising ARM now, Wu Tao is actually not worried.

As long as the Rothschild family is brought in and a sufficiently attractive price is offered, nothing is impossible.

Even if ARM asks for a higher premium now, it will not scare away capital-heavy investors like Wu Tao. What’s more, there’s Rothschild’s David endorsement.

In short, if you buy it, you will earn it.

The only trouble is that it is not convenient for Wu Tao to come forward in person. Otherwise, it is impossible to say that many people who smell the smell of meat will rush forward and create many extra details about this matter.

Therefore, this matter must be built openly and secretly.

Even so, Wu Tao was in a good mood.

After all, these many disturbing thoughts all originated from an accidental blackmail.

It can be considered an unexpected gain.

Perhaps when asked about this matter in an interview many years later, Wu Tao could calmly say: There is no far-reaching plan or strategic layout here, it is just a one-time chance.

Humming a song, they arrived at the underground garage. Song Zhuang accompanied him all the way to the car, and then carefully left from another exit, just to avoid Li Yinxin who had been guarding the front door for most of the day.

This stick girl is really screwed right now.

The convoy left Yuanqi Technology Company smoothly, and Wu Tao forgot about Li Yinxin. When she picked up An Rong from Tianan Computer Company, she stroked her delicate hand all the way and kept rubbing it.

An Rong smiled when he touched her, "What are you so happy about?"

"It's nothing. I just made a small amount of money today, which triggered a big move. There may be good value-added potential in the future."

An Rong asked with great interest, "How much is a small rip-off, what is a big move, and what is the potential for good value-added?"

Wu Tao immediately told everything about what happened in the past two days.

I heard An Rong thinking thoughtfully, "It's easy to take advantage of hundreds of millions of dollars. If Tianan's performance has increased so much, I don't know how much effort it takes. No wonder so many people are addicted to financial games." In a game with capital, the money comes in too fast. Christopher must be very depressed now, right?"

Wu Tao shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case..."

After coming out of the Capital Airport, Christopher and his team boarded the motorcade arranged by Lenovo.

The receptionist was always polite and attentive along the way, making you feel at home.

This is a high level of treatment that the two parties have never enjoyed before in negotiations.

It was not difficult for Kristoff to figure out the connection between this. In his heart, he didn't know whether to resent Wu Tao for doing this to him, but he didn't know whether to feel resentful or grateful.

All in all, I have mixed feelings.

Also in a mixed mood was Liu Chuanzhi, who had already rushed to the hotel where the Motorola delegation was staying.

Although the cooperation content between Yuanqi Technology and Motorola has been made public, and Wu Tao clearly stated that he has no intention of getting involved in Motorola's mobile phone business, it is obvious that the negotiations have become more difficult and challenging.

Liu Chuanzhi now has no idea of ​​bargaining down the price. As long as he can sign the acquisition agreement at the previous asking price, he will be thankful.

The Capital Hotel is brightly lit when the lights come on.

Liu Chuanzhi waited anxiously for the arrival of Christopher and his entourage, who were tired of their travels. After shaking hands and greetings, they had dinner together.

Kristoff and his party had just experienced the exhaustion of negotiating with Huaxia Wu and the journey. They originally wanted to keep everything simple and rest as soon as possible.

However, Lenovo's arrangements are irreverent and welcoming.

During the dinner, Liu Chuanzhi and Kristof rarely had an old friendship with each other from the Tsinghua SEM Advisory Committee.

He rambled on like this, selling favors to people of all ages, but never got to the point.

Until finally, Kristoff couldn't hold back anymore and took the initiative to say: "Liu, I'm going to speak directly. Motorola still insists that the price of the last negotiation remains unchanged, so let's discuss the matter, okay?"

Liu Chuanzhi felt happy, this was in line with his expectations. But he refused to give in easily, "Christopher, you also know that we still have a purchase agreement for the number of semiconductor chips agreed upon every year. This is actually a big sacrifice for Lenovo, so please You’d better think about it again.”

"Oh~" Kristoff thought thoughtfully: "I forgot to mention this. There is no need for this kind of agreed purchase agreement. After your company acquires the mobile phone business, you can purchase mobile chips from other companies at will. ."

Liu Chuanzhi's eyes widened.

Who gave you the courage to be so heroic and generous?

However, Kristoff naturally would not answer him, he had to figure this out for himself.

Of course, this matter itself is not difficult to figure out. Liu Chuanzhi raised his eyebrows and almost thought that the blind confidence and optimism of the guy in front of him must come from Wu Tao and the cooperation agreement that the two parties just signed recently.

It's Wu Tao again.

This man's influence is truly extraordinary.

Liu Chuanzhi didn't express too much emotion, and his mind returned to the bargain in front of him. He felt that it was not difficult to accept this.

Just accept it as soon as it's done.

In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, other moths will appear again.

After all, according to news from the United States, Motorola's stock has surged uncharacteristically. I wonder what other variables this momentum will bring.

So Liu Chuanzhi gritted his teeth and made an immediate decision, "Then Christoph, it's settled, we will sign the acquisition contract right away!"

Kristoff looked at him in surprise: "Uh... okay, Mr. Liu..."
