Michael Dell has been thinking about this for more than a month, patience is really OK!!!
However, Henry and others are not in a hurry. You can think about it as long as you like. As long as you don't develop your own servers, Dell's servers are awesome... In previous generations, Dell's server brand share ranked first in the world. If you can't do the algorithm, it's sad. First, it takes a long time, and second, the returned information is not necessarily accurate!
Now it's nothing, after the amount of information to hundreds of billions of records, search technology cattle force is reflected in the algorithm!
While Henry was still struggling with Isearch, Dell finally couldn't help calling Henry!
"Henry, I've thought it over!"
"Well, how are you thinking about it?" Henry asked nervously. He didn't want to push Dell to the server.
"Henry, I can't agree to your terms!"
what?! disagree!
Henry felt a headache when he touched his head. Does Dell want to fight with Noah's Ark?
"Michael, don't rush to make a decision, or you'll think about it again..." Henry advised.
"Dell hardware diversified development, server is essential. However, if you want to give up 30% of the shares, I would rather let Dell do R & D from the beginning! " Michael Dale said firmly.
When Henry was silent, he shook his head in his heart. Michael Dell attached great importance to his shares. It's very difficult for Dell to give up 30% of its shares!
Forget it, Noah Ark is not afraid of any company challenge!
How IBM and Dell will be trampled by Noah's Ark!!!
There was a sense of war in Henry's heart!
At the moment, he no longer forces Dell to join the camp of Noah's Ark. The most professional server leader, noah ark, can't compete with Dell company!!!
Henry hung up and held an emergency meeting at noah ark on the same day. At the meeting, Henry told Bob Gallagher, Geely Hutt and John Chambers about Dell's refusal to exchange shares!
"Dell has refused to exchange shares and decided to make its own server! Here, I don't have much to say. I have only one requirement for Noah's Ark! Innovation all the time!!! I don't want any company to surpass Noah Ark in the server industry! "
"Chairman, please rest assured!"!!! I promise Bob, the boat is in the people, if Noah's Ark falls behind, I Bob will be the first to take the blame and resign! " Bob Gallagher, with a firm face, issued a military order.
There is no empire that never sets. How can we say that? Bob Gallagher is a very good professional manager. He runs Noah's Ark very well. Henry doesn't want to lose such a good talent. So he waved his hand and said, "it's not necessary to take the blame and resign. As long as you work hard, I won't blame you! "
"Yes!" Bob Gallagher nodded a little moved!
……
Before long, Dell held a press conference and announced that it would enter the server industry!
"Dell will set up a server department to vigorously develop the company's diversified hardware line! This time, we have prepared 50 million US dollars. We must make the server business bigger and stronger, and build it into the world's top server! " Michael Dell announced in a loud voice at the press conference.
As soon as the news came out, Dell's share price rose $1.70 on the same day.
Dell is not joking, its action is very big! In just one week, Dell bought three server manufacturers around the time, and the speed was amazing. Henry also learned about the situation when he finally negotiated the acquisition. But it's obvious that Michael Dell had a premeditated plan. He had contacted three server manufacturers and had some negotiations in secret!
After the negotiation, Dell put on an appearance and formally proposed the acquisition. As a result, the two sides signed an agreement within a few minutes of the negotiation.
Henry is in the dark about Michael Dale!
Henry has nothing to say about Michael Dell's unkind behavior. Anyway, Dell's stock will be sold sooner or later, whatever he does!
When Henry returned to the company, Helen told him that AOL was ready to go public. Henry inquired carefully. It turns out that AOL has been burning a lot of money this year. In addition to making websites, they also provide users with internet access services, that is, dial-up Internet access services. AOL is really useless. At first, they just wanted to provide users with internet access services, and then promote AOL website. But I didn't expect that with the increase of the speed and network coverage of the US science foundation network, the number of users entering the network has increased dramatically, so the Internet access service has a "money way"! AOL does not have its own network, but it can rent other people's network channels and a large number of local telephone lines, so as to provide access services for local users!
AOL has been losing money, but the dial-up service has made AOL a lot of money, and its financial statements are very good-looking. And with the increase of dial-up Internet service, the traffic of AOL website is also greatly increased! So many favorable conditions, AOL is not listed, Sequoia Capital should curse: know to burn money, when to earn back!
However, good-looking financial statements are good-looking, but AOL's financial pressure is very big. Do you want to burn money to open a website? Do you want to burn money to rent network channel and a large number of telephone lines? In order to make the company develop faster, financing is very necessary! And listing is the best way!
With the help of Sequoia Capital, AOL's request to list on NASDAQ passed quickly.
Steve case also began roadshows in major cities in the United States.
After hearing the news, Henry had to frown again.
This time, AOL has drilled a loophole. It even has to go public. After going public, isn't it more difficult( Click, collect and vote, three combos, the only one is not allowed!)
