Chapter 1235 An Attractive Offer that Cannot Be Refused

Even though it was past midnight, the delicious food delivered by Shangri-La was still not compromised.

Wu Tao, who had recovered from jet lag, had a really good appetite. He ate so happily that he didn't even bother to chat.

Until Liu Ruoxi put her phone in front of him, the huge Lotus Phone screen displayed a blood-spurting yoga scene, which almost made Wu Tao's mouth full of black truffles spurt out.

"This..., what is this?"

Although he occasionally browses pictures on certain websites in his spare time, is it too bold to browse so blatantly on his mobile phone?

Moreover, due to the current limitations of mobile phone pixels, the experience is not that good.

Being looked at by Wu Tao with a strange look, Liu Ruoxi immediately realized that her boss had misunderstood, "You..., you can see clearly, this is the yoga photo sent to you by flight attendant Gao Changzhi!!!"

After swallowing the black truffle in his mouth carefully, Wu Tao's eyes returned to the Lotus Phone screen.

Sure enough, that was Li Qiuwen's pretty face.

Although she can't see it clearly, judging from the focused expression on her face, she must be enjoying this type of yoga exercise.

It's just that she can do so many difficult moves well, it makes people's blood boil just by looking at them.

After all, that means a lot of poses can be unlocked.

When he turned to the last photo, Wu Tao was still unfinished and realized that he seemed to have been staring at these photos for a long time, a little too focused, and in front of another woman.

He looked back and met Liu Ruoxi's meaningful eyes, "How about I add her school number to your personal mobile phone?"

For work and life needs, Wu Tao actually has four numbers.

Only one little-known number was carried by him, and the other three numbers were all taken care of by Liu Ruoxi.

One is for public use and the other is for personal use, used for maintaining high-level relationships. In addition, there is also an external number that is well known to everyone. For example, this number is left in the company address book.

And each number has an on-campus account corresponding to it.

Li Qiuwen's school account was added to the well-known external number.

"No," Wu Tao waved his hand in a pretentious manner, "I just didn't expect that you would actually join her in the school."

Liu Ruoxi took her phone back lightly and said, "I need it for work, I might be able to use it anytime."

Wu Tao calmed down, okay, everything you said is right.

Moreover, Li Qiuwen's addition was indeed correct, at least there were benefits like this.

I don’t know if this situation will continue...

Thinking of this, Wu Tao decisively stopped his reverie. If it really develops to that level, I'm afraid it's not far away from being deleted and blocked by Liu Dasec.

So, Gao Changzhi, you'd better ask for your blessings.

After eating and drinking enough, Wu Tao sent Liu Ruoxi, who was feeling sleepy, to sleep, but he didn't feel sleepy.

Thinking about the purpose of this trip to England, it is actually more formal than meaningful.

On the surface, it was to cheer for Reina Fujiwara in the open negotiations, but in fact it was an important step in the negotiations with the Rothschild family.

But Wu Tao is really not sure whether he can finally negotiate with David and reach a consensus.

In fact, it’s no wonder.

At present, ARM is just a small company with a market value of less than 1 billion US dollars. Even if it is left to David to swallow it all, it will not be enough to fill his teeth.

What's more, it is impossible for Wu Tao to allow the opponent to occupy a dominant share.

Therefore, it is not an easy task for Amway David to believe that this is a semiconductor company with great value-added potential and that this is a transaction in which the other party takes advantage.

Nonetheless, Wu Tao still wanted to give it a try.

After all, Yuanqi Technology means a lot to him. Under normal circumstances, he still hopes that the fewer people will get involved, the better.

Early the next morning, after Wu Tao finished breakfast, not long after returning to the suite, Fujiwara Rena wearing sunglasses ducked in and followed closely.

Wu Tao looked back and saw that this outfit looked like he was stealing something.

Reina Fujiwara sat down on the sofa, and Alyssa, who came with her, took the initiative to prepare coffee and morning tea.

Fujiwara Reina took off her sunglasses, apologized to Wu Tao apologetically, and then explained that it was necessary to drive in a low-key manner.

Wu Tao nodded, yes, this is what he told you, but why do you look so secretly happy?

Of course, Wu Tao did not ask this question, but directly asked about official business, "How was the negotiation with ARM?"

Speaking of business, Fujiwara Reina couldn't help but frowned, "Wu Sang, I'm really sorry, ARM's founder Herman was a little moved by the offer of 1 billion US dollars, but Chris insisted on 2 billion! So the negotiations were a little bit... Stalemate."

$2 billion? Wu Tao chuckled, "Where did Chris get the courage to call out this price?"

Today, ARM's market value is only about US$720 million. Even considering the premium, US$1 billion is still very conscientious.

Moreover, in his memory, in his previous life until 2007, ARM's market value was only US$1.7 billion.

Does this mean you want to go to heaven?

Reina Fujiwara made her debut without any secret: "Chris said that as of last year, the total shipments of ARM chips had exceeded the 1 billion mark. With the development of future smartphones and smart terminal devices, their The prospects are immeasurable.”

After saying that, he added hesitantly: "I checked and found that the 1 billion tablet is real and has been used on Nokia 7650. The response has been very good. So in terms of potential..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Tao waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't let your thoughts be distorted by them. You can ask them, how much revenue has it achieved? Has it exceeded 50 million US dollars?"

"...What's more, 1 billion pieces is a lot? If they cooperate with us, this will only be one month's shipments in the future."

These words immediately shocked Reina Fujiwara, and even Alyssa, who had brought the coffee, shook her delicate hands and almost spilled the coffee.

"Oh my God, this is simply unbelievable." Fujiwara Reina did not hide her exaggerated expression, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "But Wu Sang, this seems to be inconvenient as a condition for negotiation."

That's right.

Wu Tao thought about it for a while and then said: "Let's do this. When we restart negotiations today, you will start with revenue and attack the other party's weaknesses. Then you tell them that if they cooperate with us, Lotus mobile phones will consider using ARM in the future. chip, and the Palm system will consider porting to the ARM platform to support the ARM instruction set."

Fujiwara Reina quickly wrote down, "So Wu Sang, these are two conditions?"

"That's right."

"Give me a big stick and two sweet dates." Fujiwara Reina said confidently again: "Wu Sang is really smart."

"No, these are two big sticks and two sweet dates." After all, once the other side stops eating these two sweet dates, they will turn into another big stick in the blink of an eye.

Wu Tao smiled and then said solemnly: "But Lina, you need to remember. This acquisition of ARM is actually a gift from your strategic cooperation in the semiconductor industry. So you are the leader."

Fujiwara Reina turned her beautiful eyes and nodded immediately: "Hi, Wu Sang, Reina understands. So, thank you!"
