Chapter 205

John Chambers quickly received a call from Thomas Sophie, who told him that winwin's board of directors agreed to Henry Williams' acquisition of winwin architectural design firm for $1.5 billion.

The next day, Thomas Sophie signed an acquisition contract with Henry on behalf of winwin architectural design firm. Henry lent $1.5 billion to Thomas Sophie and other major shareholders with some Cisco shares as collateral from Williams bank!

After the acquisition of winwin, Henry owns two architectural design firms. Before, in Britain, he had already acquired Atkins architectural design firm!

Winwin has a long history. Atkins is younger. The merger of the two companies can create more sparks and make the company more energetic and creative!!!

Then Henry asked people to merge the two architectural design firms. The name of the company is still winwin architectural design firm!

At this time, the news of Henry's acquisition of winwin architectural design firm was very popular in Britain, and the news that Henry was the descendant of Baron Williams, the founder of winwin, was also spread, even to the queen of England. The queen said to the people around her with a smile: "in that case, Henry Williams will come to England when he has time. I will make him count. Besides, we Princess Ulysses haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him

With a little exposure of Henry's assets, Henry has become the undisputed richest man in the world. At the beginning, Forbes used William the great as a metaphor for Henry, but now it has been gradually proved! The Queen's attention to Henry has improved several floors!!!

Even if Princess Ulysses was to be married, it would not be a problem!

The Queen's words spread out and immediately attracted the attention of the global media and made headlines.

"The queen wants to count Henry Williams!"

"Princess Ulysses has fallen in love with Henry Williams!"

“……”

Entertainment gossip newspapers and magazines are always happy to report this kind of thing. They publish in newspapers every day!

When Henry received the news, he laughed bitterly. "When did Princess Ulysses fall in love with her? I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her. Will you miss me? The queen of England is just talking nonsense

John Chambers said with a smile: "Chairman, I think the queen of England wants to marry Princess Ulysses to you! Why don't you go to England right away... "

"Screw you!" Henry didn't get angry and said, "go, you go!"

"I want to go, but Princess Ulysses doesn't like me!" John Chambers said with a smile.

Henry was tickled at the thought of Princess Ulysses' charming appearance.

"I'm going to have winwin and Atkins merged. You see, how about som merged later?"

When John Chambers saw Henry talking about business, he took a serious attitude, thought about it, nodded and said, "it shouldn't be a big problem. After the merger and acquisition of the company, winwin architectural design firm will be in an absolute controlling position in the new company!"

Henry pondered for a moment, then said: "let winwin merge SOM, and after the merger of two top ten design firms in the world, their real strength will soar, and they will far surpass other architectural design firms and become the" super Empire "in this field!!"

John Chambers was a little excited. "Chairman, I'll arrange this right away."

Then, John Chambers invited Mustafa Abadan and Keith Powell, two of SOM's partners, to Cisco.

Entering the chairman's office, Henry stood up and said to them with a smile: "welcome to both of you!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Williams!" Mustafa Abadan and Keith Powell reached out and shook hands with Henry.

Henry nodded, shook hands with them and said, "please sit down."

At this time, John Chambers gave Henry a brief introduction to them.

Henry exchanged a little greetings with them, then laughed and said to them straight to the point, "I'd like to invite you to come here today. Actually, I want to discuss something with you."

Is it a matter of bidding?!!

Mustafa Abadan and Keith Powell looked at each other, nodded secretly, and there was a trace of joy on their faces.

"What's the matter, you say?" Mustafa Abadan said.

"Well, I recently acquired winwin architectural design firm. You must have heard about it. This time, you are here to merge winwin and SOM! "

On hearing this, Mustafa Abadan and Keith Powell's face suddenly changed! Rumor has it that Henry Williams is a real acquisition maniac, and now he is targeting SOM again!!!

Henry said with a faint smile: "don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to steal SOM from you. On the contrary, you will get more rights! After the merger of winwin and SOM, I am more optimistic about the original management of SOM company. Therefore, your responsibility will be increased! You should know that there is no big problem in the company. Generally, I seldom interfere in the company. I leave it to professional managers to do it! Think about it. After the merger of winwin and SOM, how high will your status and power be? And I'm just a controller behind the scenes! "

Mustafa Abadan and Keith Powell were excited, and their eyes flashed with excitement.

"Mr. Williams, if winwin and SOM merge, how will the shares be distributed?" Asked Mustafa Abadan.

"Winwin originally has a higher market value than som. In addition, it recently merged a very promising young company. Therefore, I think that if winwin and SOM are merged, the ratio of shareholders of the two companies holding the new company is 3:2. I believe you should have no problem with that!"

Mustafa Abadan and Keith Powell both nodded, "we have no problem with this distribution method!"

Henry said with a smile, "well, in that case, you should go back to other partners and discuss with them. Please give me a reply as soon as possible."

"All right, Mr. Williams, then we'll leave!"

"Well, goodbye!" Henry stood up, laughed and walked them out of the office door.

Turning his head, Henry said to John Chambers, "be prepared. Once the acquisition plan for SOM is completed, a press conference will be held immediately to announce the bidding result."

"I understand!" John Chambers nodded!

Mustafa Abadan and Keith Powell returned to som architectural design firm and told Henry's intention to the partners of several other firms. After discussing for an hour, they decided to agree to the merger plan.

Winwin architectural design firm mainly focuses on the architectural design firm of pension community. In this field, winwin architectural design firm ranks first in the world. In addition, winwin's winery design is also the first in the world. These two points are not coincident with SOM's business. SOM architectural design firm's main ability is to build high-rise buildings, and its design level is indisputably the first in the world!

There are not many overlapping businesses, but they can complement each other, which is also a factor for som partners to agree to the merger plan.

The reason why Henry let SOM's management manage the new company is that under their leadership, SOM's work fields gradually involve architectural design, structural and civil engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, engineering design, urban design and planning, interior design, environmental aesthetics, strategic research, project management and heritage maintenance, etc, Have made very good achievements!

SOM company has been standing at the forefront of the world's architectural design and construction engineering industry, and its contribution to architectural technology and design quality is one of the most important achievements in the world's architectural field in the 20th century. Unlike winwin, it can go downhill

Therefore, the new company's management decisively replaced by SOM's management to reassure Henry.

Mustafa Abadan quickly gave Henry a reply, promising to accept the merger plan. In the following week, after some detailed discussions, the two sides decided to sign a contract to complete the merger plan. On the same day, all partners of SOM architectural design firm came to Cisco to meet Henry, and then signed the contract.

The name of the new company is winsom, with Henry as chairman and Mustafa Abadan as CEO. Adrian Smith, who designed the tower of Dubai and candlelight in the wind, is the chief designer, followed by Tom Wright
