wildly beating gongs and drums!
With the current capital chain of "second world", it is almost impossible to mobilize $3-4 billion in cash. When Lin Feng held the "second world" board meeting through video conference, people heard that Lin Feng wanted to buy the company again, and they were all against it. Although Lin Feng's vision has always been accurate, too hasty expansion is not a good thing“ The goal of "the second world" is to become the best IT company in the world, so we must be steady, step by step, not too eager for quick success and instant benefit. Otherwise, the foundation is not stable, and once it expands too fast in the future and makes a little mistake, it will lead to an avalanche like disaster.
They shook their heads and resolutely disagreed with Lin Feng's suggestion.
Lin Feng was also surprised. I didn't expect that this time everyone was against the proposal to acquire the company. Whether it was the game development department or the hardware development department, they were all against it. And we are firmly against it! Of course, people are also concerned about Lin Feng's position and influence in the company. Although they are against it, most of them use various reasons to explain their opposition, rather than directly and rudely refuse.
"Boss, the company now pays off as much as $100 million a year. And I just bought IMAX and Blizzard Entertainment. Now I have no money! " Wu Zhaopu said.
Although his proposal was repeatedly opposed by the public, Lin Feng was not angry. Because Lin Feng has too much authority in the company“ The "second world" itself was created by Lin Feng. Lin Feng has made great contributions to its development up to now, and Lin Feng holds a symbolic annual salary of US $1 as president. All these deeds make it impossible for people to oppose Lin Feng. This has both advantages and disadvantages. Lin Feng deeply understands his advantages and disadvantages.
What he has developed so far is neither extraordinary wisdom nor foresight. Lin Feng relies on only one thing - memory of the future. But that memory will end in 2009. After 2009, how to deal with the more fierce business struggle. We must work together. We can't always rely on Lin Feng alone.
Therefore, this time, people all opposed Lin Feng's proposal at the same time. Instead of feeling angry, Lin Feng was very pleased. But this plan must be carried out. As for the opposition of the public, Lin Feng believes that after they have heard their plan, the public will not oppose it any more.
Sure enough! When Lin Feng told the whole story that the financing was actually to buy some shares of NVIDIA, everyone was excited. In particular, Lu Zhiyi and he Guoyuan, two heads of the hardware development department.
Lu Zhiyi has always been troubled by the cruel fact that "amd" is far inferior to "Intel" in technology. Although "amd" has done its best, Lu Zhiyi must admit that there is a big gap between "amd" and "Intel", which is a gap. If it is the original "amd", Lu Zhiyi believes that he will never see "amd" catching up with "Intel" in his lifetime. This is just catching up, not catching up. However, after joining the "second world", Lu Zhiyi believes that he will be able to see "amd" surpass "Intel" in his lifetime, and that he will be able to do so!
But it will take a long time, and the middle "amd" can't make any mistakes, and "Intel" can't develop too fast. But now, the acquisition of NVIDIA gives second world a shortcut to surpass Intel. As long as we can control NVIDIA and match the strength of the second world, we will be able to compete with Intel!
If we use excitement to describe Lu Zhiyi, we can only use madness to describe he Guoyuan. As the founder of "ATI" and now the head of "ATI" hardware development department of "second world", he Guoyuan deeply understands the strength and excellence of NVIDIA. If "the second world" can finance "NVIDIA", my God, he Guoyuan will feel a burst of excitement from his bones. Combined with the technology of NVIDIA and ATI, the technology of graphics card will be improved.
If you can, I'm afraid the future graphics card update speed will be faster than now!
As for those game development departments, their eyes are shining. The more advanced the graphics card technology is, the more perfect the game effect they develop will be in front of the players. Especially in the new year's day next year for the global public beta of "World War", it is the need for graphics card support!
"Boss, this acquisition is OK!" Everyone's eyes brightened and agreed with Lin Feng's proposal.
Lin Feng smiles. Sure enough, this proposal will be approved by all. Although it is a little short of funds, it can complete the turnover of funds through the bank. As for the company's excessive debt, Lin Feng is not worried. Once it can acquire NVIDIA, and second world has enough shares of NVIDIA, the money can be fully earned through the market. What's more, the share price of "second world" will certainly rise by that time, and the turnover can be carried out by raising a little capital at will.
If the "second world" has "NVIDIA", it will definitely be a super earthquake in the personal computer industry.
Just as Lin Feng was about to finish the meeting, a discordant voice came.
"I object!" Abby Cohen's voice.
Lin Feng held a tripartite video conference. After all, it's about another major investment in the second world, so Lin Feng let Abby Cohen sit in. As a result, I didn't expect that Abby Cohen, who originally thought that Lin Feng should support himself most, actually opposed his plan. You know, this is a plan agreed by all the top management of the company. Lin Feng didn't expect that Abby Cohen would oppose it.
"Abby, reason!" Asked Lin Feng.
Abby Cohen stroked her hair gently.
"Boss, the current market value of NVIDIA is about US $4.82 billion. If the premium is 150%, it will be at least US $7 billion. Lin, if the second world invests US $3-4 billion, it will hold about 40% of the shares. Considering the distribution with the shareholders of NVIDIA, the second world will eventually hold about 35%, If this is combined with the shares of ATI owned by second world, it can already form a monopoly in the graphics card market. " Abby Cohen shook his head in exclamation.
"At that time, Intel will certainly sue the U.S. Antitrust organization in the name of" antitrust ". In that case, once the U.S. government departments intervene, I'm afraid it will be very bad. I'm not sure. I'll force the company to split up! " Abby Cohen said.
After listening, they nodded. Just now, everyone was over excited. They only thought about the benefits brought by the company's financing of NVIDIA, but they didn't think about the possible consequences after the financing.
Anti monopoly! It would be a disaster to be sued by the US government for anti-monopoly! At that time, "Intel" will probably laugh very cheap!
"Abby, what do you think we should do?" Lin Feng thought and asked.
Abby Cohen smiles.
"Lin, this is actually very simple. In fact, since you set up the "second Consortium", the relationship between the companies is not close. This is just an opportunity. " Abby Cohen said.
Lin Feng was silent after listening. Indeed, although we have set up the "second Consortium", in fact, most of the major companies do not communicate with each other except for a few companies (such as Tencent and second world). This is completely different from the cross shareholding of Japanese consortia companies, which is not closely linked. It is their own interests, not the company's interests, that act as the hub between their "second consortia".
This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they can abandon some companies with poor assets at any time according to the actual situation, so as not to affect the operation of the whole group. But the disadvantage is that the companies have little contact with each other and can not resist risks together. And once they have any accident, the "second Consortium" is likely to fall apart.
"Lin, I propose that your bank should invest in the cooperation with Oracle to finance NVIDIA!" Abby Cohen said.
After hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly realized. For a long time, banks have been completely excluded from many companies of their "second consortia". In addition to acting as a financial backing, they have hardly participated in any operation of the consortia. It's not good. Now Abby Cohen proposes that his bank should finance NVIDIA, which is definitely the best way. It can not only make banks fully integrate into their "second Consortium" and participate in the operation among major companies, but also solve the capital problem. After all, if their banks always lend to the "second world" at the lowest interest rate, it will be somewhat criticized. After all, their three banks are all joint-stock banks, not their own private banks. Even if the "second bank" actually holds more than 50% of its shares, it should also pay attention to the impression of the outside world. Otherwise, if the outside world does not invest, the "second bank" will collapse!
"I see, Abby, thank you for the reminder!" Lin Feng said gratefully. Without Abby Cohen's warning, he made two mistakes in succession.
Second world's acquisition of NVIDIA is the first mistake, while seeking banks to continue lending heavily is the second.
As for borrowing money from that bank, it can't be easier. The acquisition of "NVIDIA" is to have a certain say in "NVIDIA", or even control. Naturally, the bank invested in the acquisition can only be Lin Feng's "second bank" with absolute control. Otherwise, if other banks, whether it's "Bank of East Asia" or "Standard Bank of South Africa", should any one of them make a mistake, Lin Feng would be depressed( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
