In addition, Merrill Lynch also controls and invests in some promising companies, ADI (American simulator company), which is included in their bag.
The semiconductor industry has been enduring for decades, but because there is no new breakthrough point, it has been difficult for ADI, Italy France semiconductor, Tiancun electronics and other famous semiconductor companies in recent years. That is, recently, mobile phones have an intelligent trend, so ADI's marketing revenue has increased a little.
In previous lives, Baodao MediaTek took advantage of the remaining power of mobile phone chips sweeping China. After making huge profits this year and next year, it will start negotiations with Merrill Lynch in the second half of next year, and finally acquired the assets and teams related to ADI's wireless communication chip products at a price of about US $400 million.
If you calculate it at US $400 million, that's about RMB 3 billion, and that's the price at the end of 2007. At that time, gang leader Qiao has opened the era of smart phones, and Adi has risen a lot. If you buy it now, you may win it at a price of about RMB 2 billion.
Xiao Qi holds a billion dollars and spends 300 million dollars to buy ADI, which is definitely a business that can make no loss, because he knows that if ADI did not provide MediaTek with technical support for wireless chips, MediaTek would not be able to continue to monopolize the low-end smart phone market in mainland China in the 3G era.
Buying things from Merrill Lynch is definitely much more convenient than buying from a company, because Merrill Lynch doesn't mind selling them to others as long as they make money.
There are many deputy managers in the investment management department who are specially responsible for this operation. As long as the price is appropriate, these deputy managers will give accurate answers soon.
Originally, I thought the acquisition was not difficult. I didn't know that Xiao Qi had just met danze. The deputy manager of the investment management department of Merrill Lynch headquarters gave Xiao Qi a blow.
Danze is about forty years old. He has a typical Slavic face, a clean shaven beard, thick hair wax on his head, strong Cologne all over, and very sharp eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Qi and Anthony entered his office, danze shook hands with him and returned to his desk.
"Mr. Xiao." Looking at the information registered before, danze said calmly, "you still have ten minutes to tell me your purpose."
Xiao Qi looked at his indifferent eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still handed out the plan he had made. "Manager danze, this is the plan I want to buy the wireless chip Department of ADI company under Merrill Lynch. Please have a look."
Among the various departments of Merrill Lynch, the division of labor is very detailed. Danze is a full-time deputy manager of electronics related categories, and he is naturally familiar with ADI.
He quietly turned a few pages with the plan, and then put it down. "Your price is $250 million to buy the assets related to ADI's wireless communication chip and their R & D team?"
"Yes."
"This price is too cheap." Danze refused without thinking: "if you are willing to pay $500 million, we can't talk."
Xiao Qi frowned. "Manager danze, as far as I know, the revenue of ADI's wireless communication chip department was US $180 million last year, and only US $170 million last year. I bought it with us $250 million in cash, which is already a big premium. Why do you say such an unrealistic price of US $500 million?"
When European and American people talk about business, they often speak frankly, so Xiao Qi is not afraid to point it out directly.
Danze shrugged. "If you want to buy it and prove that you know the benefits of wireless chips, you can't calculate it at an ordinary price. Anyway, you Chinese have money."
Danze is very good at doing business. When he said this, he meant to sit down and start the price.
Xiao Qi didn't care about bargaining, but he was disgusted with his last sentence. "Manager danze, Chinese people don't necessarily have money, and all our money is earned through hard work. If you think the rich should be slaughtered, then if Bill Gates comes, you'll have to ask him $10 billion? "
Danze smiled coldly, "Mr. Gates is the pride of our United States, which is not comparable to you yellow people."
The word "yellow man" in American language has a little taste of discrimination. Although it is not as obvious as the yellow monkey, the color of contempt is still obvious in words.
Seeing that Anthony, whose boss was made difficult, had no chance to play, he immediately said, "Mr. danze, please pay attention to your words, otherwise I will complain to your boss about your tendency of racial discrimination! I think journalists will also be very interested to see that Merrill Lynch, known as the global financial service provider, has reported racist news. "
Denzer looked at Anthony, said nothing, but the contempt in his eyes did not decrease.
Xiao Qi was not angry, so he said in his spare time, "so you're not going to sell ADI's wireless communication chip department?"
Danze nodded and said, "yes, at least for now, at your price, we have no intention to sell."
"You mean, can you represent Merrill Lynch?" Xiao Qi asked further.
Danze's eyes flashed with mockery, "Mr. Xiao, at least in terms of my approval, your leather bag company registered in the Cayman Islands will never pass, because you have no ability to develop ADI. As an owner, I don't want to destroy ADI's wireless communication chip department after selling it to you."
This is where he has no fear.
Qicai investment is really nothing now. It's not too much to say it's a leather bag company. Whatever Xiao Qi says about his future plans, he can't change the current embarrassing situation.
But this is not the real reason why danze doesn't sell ADI. He simply despises the Chinese people and is unwilling to sell this high-tech company to the Chinese people, so he just makes this excuse.
Xiao Qi knew this, but he could not refute danze's selfishness.
Because many American companies are like this, they look down on the Chinese 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 stepping on Merrill Lynch's shoulder!
The boy who didn't intend to use that move had a decision in his heart.
After a flash of thought, Xiao Qi smiled, "then, Mr. danze, let's play right gambling!"( It's not finished yet. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
