Chapter 1016

Just after new year's day, the Tian'an company delegation led by Wu Tao and an Rong embarked on a flight to New York.

Although Wu Tao is not the first time to go, it is still the first time for everyone in Tian'an company, and the freshness is self-evident.

In addition, this trip was to discuss the acquisition with the famous foreign IT enterprise IBM. It was also the first time for Tian'an company to go abroad to acquire the business of foreigners, which was generally filled with lingering pride.

After more than ten hours of flight, the plane finally landed.

The departure time from Zhonghai is in the afternoon, and the arrival in New York is almost in the afternoon, just a little later.

Ivanka, who had just returned to the family business to take care of business, followed the car to pick up the plane in person.

Originally, the job of picking up the plane was panis's. after all, New York is the headquarters of Morgan consortium.

However, panis was busy with his business in the China Sea, so the job fell on Ivanka.

In this regard, Wu Tao doesn't care who comes.

In his opinion, it would be better not to come.

However, the acquisition capital of Tian'an company is up to more than one billion US dollars. Wu Tao does not intend to invest in Tianqi alone, but from the accounts of the members of the strategic alliance.

So this trip can't hide from them.

Fortunately, after Ivanka saw an Rong, he not only had no accident, but handled it properly and freely.

This surprised Wu Tao a lot.

Along the way, Wu Tao asked about Ivanka's return to the family business after he ended his modeling career. It can be seen that Ivanka adapted well.

Not only like a duck to water, but also according to the accumulation of his modeling career, he created a clothing brand and took a high-end positioning.

It really complements each other.

If she is really a foreign girl with business talent, plus her figure and appearance, most people can't hold it at all.

The process was pleasant until the team arrived at the Hilton Hotel.

Wu Tao and others, led by Ivanka, just got off the bus and walked into the hall. They met the Lenovo delegation and walked out of the elevator, looking like business negotiations.

Wu Tao may not know others in Lenovo, but Liu Chuanzhi is the most familiar face.

Of course, the members of the Tian'an delegation, such as he Zhiqiang, who came with Liu Chuanzhi, are no strangers.

For a time, in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, there was a sense of tension.

But competition is competition.

After all, they are all Chinese. They can't show their ruthless and belligerent face on the territory of a foreign country.

That's really not on the table.

So after a brief confrontation, Wu Tao grasped Liu Chuanzhi's active palm. What he didn't know was that he thought it was an old friend who had been reunited for a long time.

"Welcome the Tian'an delegation. I thought you weren't going to come?" Liu Chuanzhi said nothing, but the implication was that Wu Tao heard it anyway.

So he replied with a smile: "has President Liu finished talking with IBM? If not, why don't we come? "

"... is it because Lenovo can't wait to find a foreign brand to decorate its appearance this time? Is it because independent research and development can't continue?"

Liu Chuanzhi's face jerked and said with a stiff smile: "to be honest, the negotiations between us and IBM are progressing very quickly and smoothly. I hope you can keep up."

"Congratulations, Lenovo." Wu Tao nodded. "I hope Mr. Liu doesn't even want his hometown for a mere laptop business. After all, we all started from the Chinese market. We can't forget our roots. "

Liu Chuanzhi looked stunned, then covered up and said, "don't bother Mr. Wu."

"Good luck then." After Wu Tao said these bright words, he loosened his hands and the members of the two delegations left separately.

After leaving the Hilton Hotel, Liu Chuanzhi got on the bus and went to IBM headquarters, but he kept muttering in his heart.

How did Wu Tao know that he planned to move his headquarters to New York?

He didn't tell anyone about it except Lenovo and IBM representatives who participated in the negotiations.

Is it because some of its own people are doing things inside and outside, or IBM knows nothing about Tian'an company?

For a time, Liu Chuanzhi was full of doubts. For the next negotiation, he wanted to make a quick decision, so as not to have too many long dreams.

In contrast, Wu Tao returned to the hotel in no hurry.

Especially after entering the room, an Rong couldn't wait to get in touch with IBM and determine the negotiation agenda and plan as soon as possible, but Wu Tao stubbornly stopped her.

"Shouldn't we hold on tight?" An Rong was impatient. She interpreted Wu Tao's lightness as a state of mind that it was none of his business. "Looking at Lenovo, it seems to be making rapid progress."

Wu Tao poured a glass of lemon water for an Rong: "don't worry? IBM will not sign a contract with Lenovo before we make an offer. "

An Rong thought, "have you dredged the relationship and can speak on the board of directors of IBM?"

Wu Tao did not deny this, but did not admit it: "since there is a chance to make more money, who will give up this opportunity? I think foreigners are no exception. "

Even so, an Rong was still busy, "what should we do now?"

Wu Tao finished the lemonade in his glass: "if you're not tired, you can consider how to introduce the funds for the acquisition of IBM-PC business. Now I'm going to take a nap from the jet lag."

When an Rong opened the latest evaluation report made by Tianqi investment on Tian'an, Xiumei couldn't help frowning.

At present, the latest valuation of Tian'an company is only US $2 billion, which means that Tian'an company has to pay more than half of its shares to acquire IBM-PC business.

But unlike Lenovo, which has been listed, its stock value is visible and tangible.

The current valuation of Tian'an company is only a private evaluation. No matter how fair and fair, it can not be used as the subject matter to acquire the business of other companies.

Therefore, we can only take out nearly half of the shares as an introduction to attract other capital.

As for the amount of financing and share, this is a debatable problem.

These Wu Tao didn't make a speech hall and made a decision directly, leaving it to an Rong to think about it and play it by himself.

While an Rong was thinking about the financing plan, the Lenovo delegation left IBM headquarters, and their morale was somewhat low.

When he got on the bus, Liu Chuanzhi looked gloomy and didn't say a word. He Zhiqiang, accompanied by the co driver, was too frightened to say anything.

Liu Chuanzhi doesn't understand that the negotiation has entered the final stage. It's clear that the other party has no opinion on the conditions they put forward. Why can't they sign the contract?

Does Wu Tao have someone at the top of IBM?

At this point, Liu Chuanzhi became more determined about his guess.

Moreover, in his view, it is also in line with the Chinese style of looking for people to pull the relationship in all major and minor matters.

Previously, Wu Tao was so much better than idle court. He must have relied on it.

In this way, although it is not in the middle, it is not far away!

Thinking of this, Liu Chuanzhi looked up at the blue sky in New York and became more and more depressed: that guy is definitely his nemesis. With him, he can't do anything!
