Chapter 578 1.8 Billion...Euros? Being Ripped Off By The Eu
Entering November.
Blue Star Electronics, President's Office.
"Enter."
Lu Yi looked up at the door, and the person who walked in was Liu Hong, with an angry look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yi asked.
Liu Hongdao: "I just received the news that the European Union has approved our merger and acquisition of MySQL, but the Ruidian people are asking for 1.8 billion, and they are willing to bite!"
The acquisition of MySQL company has been underway for half a year.
Because Future Group gave up its acquisition of Sun Micro, IBM helped Blue Star Electronics acquire MySQL, which saved Blue Star Electronics a lot of trouble.
In the past six months, Liu Hong, the COO of Blue Star Electronics, has traveled back and forth between China and Europe no less than ten times with the purpose of acquiring MySQL.
Although there is help from IBM, Europeans are not easy to deal with. In addition, there are also North Americans who are obstructing it, especially companies such as Jiaguwen and Guge.
Therefore, the merger and acquisition process has been very difficult.
Not long ago, Lehman Brothers exploded, causing a major shock to the global economy. To make matters worse, Europe and the United States became the hardest-hit areas, making the process of mergers and acquisitions a big step forward.
Now one and a half months have passed, and the EU has agreed.
But obviously.
The EU regards Blue Star Electronics as a big fat sheep and wants to take the opportunity to take a bite and cause Blue Star Electronics to bleed.
Originally, the value of MySQL was only about 6,571 billion gold, but now it is directly offered a fixed price of 1.8 billion gold, a premium of 80%, which is a bit outrageous.
"1.8 billion meters of gold?"
After hearing Liu Hong's words, Lu Yi finally understood why Liu Hong was so angry.
"These European guys really can't change the bandit genes in their bones even after hundreds of years!"
"We have already invested more than 1 billion meters of gold there, and now we are still plucking our hair!"
Even Lu Yi couldn't help but complain.
Let alone 1.8 billion meters of gold, even if the previous price was 1 billion meters of gold, that would still be a 20% premium.
As a result, the Ruidian people were not satisfied now, and even opened their bloody mouth to take a bite.
Liu Hong looked at the equally angry Lu Yi, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not 1.8 billion meters of gold, it's 1.8 billion euros.
Lu Yi immediately looked at Liu Hong in shock.
"Eur...euro?"
Liu Hong nodded: "Euro!"
"groove!"
Lu Yi couldn't bear it any longer and cursed directly.
"robber!"
"Are the Ruidian people Japs?"
"Is this when the Japanese invade the village and wipe out three feet of the ground?"
"1.8 billion euros, why don't they grab it!"
"These European poor guys are so damn rude (ageh), so ruthless, they grab their workers and kill them, what the hell!"
Lu Yi feels that she is still too young and thinks too well of people.
He originally thought it was 1.8 billion meters of gold, but it turned out that it was 1.8 billion euros. At the current exchange rate of rice gold to euros [that is 2.85 billion meters of gold].
Good guy!
He really wants to say something good!
Liu Hong was also very angry and said: "These people in Europe are worse than the devils entering the village! Our people sent news from Europe, saying that the EU saw that you were too generous with your actions in the past few months. The digital rights of movies and the acquisition of Marvel are so impactful that the Europeans think that selling them to you is the price. If you don’t agree, they would rather sell to Jiaguwen to create trouble for us.”
Apparently.
The European Union is also determined to accept Lu Yi.
Because Blue Star Electronics was not the only one eyeing MySQL, Jia Guwen was also very interested.
Although Jiaguwen's current focus is on the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, if it can acquire MySQL, it will also be a good thing for Oracle.
Currently, only Jia Guwen and Gu Ge are still competing for Sun Micro's companies, and the others have already withdrawn.
If it weren't for the seven to eight billion dollars required to acquire Sun Micro, Jiaguwen would be very willing to acquire MySQL.
However, neither Jia Guwen nor Gu Ge currently has any extra energy to focus on MySQL, and their acquisition of Sun Microsystems has IBM behind them, making it even less likely to be distracted.
After Lu Yi's lobbying, IBM also knew that if Jiaguwen acquired Sun Microsystems, it would pose a hardware challenge to them, which was somewhat unacceptable.
We are all plastic friends. When it comes to our own interests, thank God for not stabbing you in the back, let alone helping you in times of need.
Now that the European Union has decided on Lu Yi, either he will give you money, or I will sell MySQL to Jiaguwen. It’s your choice.
Liu Hong looked at Lu Yi and said, "You make up your mind, give it or not?"
To be honest, Blue Star Electronics cannot afford 1.8 billion euros.
but!
He was really unwilling to be ripped off like this.
"Give!"
*1.8 billion euros is 1.8 billion euros!”
"At this price, we bought it!"
"The wool comes from the sheep, so we have a reason to increase the price of the third-generation pinnacle mobile phone!"
"Hmph! How much money the Europeans have taken from me now, sooner or later I have to pay it back!"
"Da Liu, please go to Europe personally to finalize this matter as soon as possible."
Lu Yi said.
He is not an indecisive person and will not dwell on getting medical treatment at the moment.
Take action when it's time to take action.
Money and everything else can be earned quickly.
However, there is only one MySQL company!
Keeping MySQL company in your hands will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.
"okay, I get it.
Liu Hong nodded.
When Lu Yi yelled at Europeans for not practicing martial ethics.
In the cold country, Sanxing headquarters welcomed a guest.
This guest is none other than Steve Jobs, the fruit boss.
This is not the first time he has come to Sanxing headquarters. He has come quietly two or three times before.
His arrival was very low-key and did not alert any media.
In the conference room.
Jobs looked at Sanxing CEO Li Jianxi and said, "President Li, what do you think?"
Although Li Jianxi is currently 66 years old, he is still in good spirits and his eyes are shining with wisdom.
"Chairman Li, you and I will set up a joint venture brand to enter the high-end market. In this way, Sanxing will definitely surpass Blue Star Electronics and Nokia in the field of mobile phones, and it will soon become the dominant player in the field of mobile phones in the future."
Jobs spoke quietly, his words full of temptation.
turn out to be.
When Jobs came to Sanxing's headquarters in Hanguo, he actually wanted to establish a joint venture brand with Sanxing.
Just like the island country's Soni and Ruidian's Ericsson, the two parties established a joint venture brand Soai, which is dominating the mobile phone industry in Asia.
The purpose is to impact the high-end smartphone market.
Fruit produces the AOS operating system and A1 chip, and Sanxing produces displays, memory, batteries and other hardware.
have to say.
Li Jianxi was very moved by Jobs' proposal.
Because Jobs showed him the superiority of the AOS system, which is not much worse than the DOS system of Blue Star Electronics.
The A1 chip designed by Fruit Company, after being tape-out tested by them, has better performance than Gaotong's current most advanced chip, and is comparable to Blue Star Electronics' Kunlun chip.
If they set up a joint venture brand, with the technical and financial strength of both parties, they can definitely succeed in building a high-end brand, which will definitely impact Pinnacle Mobile's current position in the smartphone market. .
