Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

 Chapter 3541 Invitation

 Pay an extra US$100 million in cash in exchange for completing a great feat, or a very meaningful feat, on the special occasion of the company's 20th anniversary.

Whether it is worth it or not depends mainly on the choice of the boss. This $100 million in cash does not mean that it will be paid if it is not paid now.

The total amount remains the same. It does not mean that the total amount differs by 100 million U.S. dollars. It is just that the payment method has changed slightly.

  IBM required $650 million in cash, $600 million in stock, and $500 million in debt.

 They are thinking about US$550 million, US$700 million in stocks, and the remaining US$500 million in debt.

The total amount is 1.75 billion US dollars, which is just 100 million US dollars in cash, whether it is paid in stocks or directly in cash.

 The difference at this point is really not big.

Since Mr. Liu has made his words so clear, the others no longer insist on it. They just agree to it one by one and express their agreement.

“Well, raise your hands now. If you agree to the conditions offered by IBM and acquire IBM’s PC Division according to the conditions offered by IBM, please raise your hands.” Mr. Liu said and raised his hand first.

 Then the board of directors unanimously approved the meeting, and the meeting contents were recorded. If nothing else happens, the acquisition will be considered a success.

There was indeed no surprise. Three days later, the two parties formally reached an agreement. However, after the agreement was reached, the two parties only initialed a contract, and the formal contract was signed a week later.

 One week later, Lian Xiang decided to hold the company’s 20th anniversary celebration. Mr. Liu planned to take advantage of this anniversary celebration to announce the acquisition agreement at the same time.

Originally, Mr. Liu didn't plan to make such a big splash, but things have come to this point, and Yang Yuanqing's various investments have all failed. Lian Xiang needs something to respond to the suspicion of the outside world, and let the outside world know that Lian Xiang is still the same Lian Xiang. , is a company that has gone through ups and downs for twenty years.

It was also stimulated by Ni Guangnan’s plan to launch a wafer fab project in the mainland. This involved a dispute between two people, whether it was technology, industry and trade or trade, industry and technology.

 Finally, I was stimulated by Jiang Xiaobai at the opening ceremony of the CEO class of Beijing University.

Anyway, due to various reasons, Mr. Liu is planning to hold a grand celebration ceremony for the 20th anniversary, and at the same time, announce this acquisition at the anniversary celebration.

 Completing a feat in Lianxiang’s history, it is also completing a reincarnation, a review of Lianxiang’s past twenty years.

 For this arrangement, forget about the inviter. The people from the Taishan Hui here must be invited. However, the people from the Taishan Hui can only be said to be a small part of the country in the country and can only represent one group.

 Another huge group that occupies half of the country is the Oriental Society, the representative of which is Jiang Xiaobai.

If you want to make the event more lively, without the participation of the Oriental Society, the scene will definitely not be lively.

So Mr. Liu was thinking about inviting Jiang Xiaobai. If Jiang Xiaobai agreed to come, many people from the Oriental Club would come back. But if Jiang Xiaobai didn't come, no one would dare to come. In order to make this anniversary celebration more lively, Mr. Liu also put a lot of thought into inviting Jiang Xiaobai, a competitor.

 But there is another key question: even if he is willing to invite Jiang Xiaobai, will Jiang Xiaobai be willing to come?

This is also a problem. First of all, the two of them are competitors. Of course, there are many competitors in the shopping mall. Today they may still be competitors, but tomorrow they may be partners. Fighting for peace and profit is nothing new. things.

 But the two are still competitors, and there is business competition, which is not critical. There are also many people participating in various activities of the rival company, so it is not a problem.

 There are many people who are not in harmony with each other and pretend to be pretentious. The problem is that Jiang Xiaobai is not the kind of pretentious person, and may not give himself face at all.

In addition to Jiang Xiaobai’s high status, no one can find fault with him if he doesn’t have time.

 So if you want to ensure that you can invite Jiang Xiaobai, you need to think of other ways. Generally speaking, there are really not many ways to deal with Jiang Xiaobai.

But at this time, Mr. Liu really has some ideas. Hualian Computer wants to build a new wafer factory in the mainland. Jiang Xiaobai has been to the capital several times and wants some policy support.

It just so happened that he came from the Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and had been in the capital all these years. If he could help Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai would definitely be able to give him face.

 Another aspect is the chip market. They even thought about purchasing some chips produced by Hualian Computer.

If these two magic weapons are willing, they are very likely to be able to invite Jiang Xiaobai over. Otherwise, even Ni Guangnan will be invited over?

 Mr. Liu thought about it and finally decided to take action. Since it was going to be a big deal, it had to be done well.

 Jiang Xiaobai was in Yong City at this time. Ni Guangnan came to Yong City to inspect the conditions for building a factory. The inspection was almost complete, and he still wanted to communicate with the leaders of Yong City.

 So Jiang Xiaobai came over to talk about new energy vehicles.

 As a result, I received a call from Beijing.

 After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai felt a little weird, but Jiang Xiaobai didn't say anything at the dinner.

 Only after the dinner was over and on the way back to the hotel, Jiang Xiaobai talked about this matter with Ni Guangnan.

After hearing this, Ni Guangnan's face became a little ugly: "Director Jiang, in fact, even Xiangxiang sent me an invitation letter. Mr. Liu even called me personally. One invited me to attend their anniversary celebration, and the other One is to purchase a batch of chips from our wafer factory. To be honest, I didn't want to go there at first, but even if I want to get chips from us in the future, if I want to get the goods for a long time, it's still worth a trip. "

Jiang Xiaobai also said a little speechlessly: "Hey, I originally went to the capital city to get some policies, but one of the leaders who could make the decision was never there, but this time Mr. Liu helped, just to let me attend their meeting. I don’t know what Mr. Liu’s mentality is like during the anniversary celebration. Didn’t this make me trouble him in the past?”

Ni Guangnan analyzed: "He must want to show off. I heard that they have reached an agreement with IBM and are waiting to announce it on the anniversary. During the negotiation process, Mr. Liu, in order to celebrate the anniversary, In the previous activities, we made concessions to some conditions.”
