Chapter 1141 I object!
In full swing!
With the current capital chain of the "Second World", it is almost impossible to mobilize US$3-4 billion in cash. When Lin Feng held the "Second World" board meeting via video conference, everyone heard that Lin Feng had another
They are unanimously opposed to the acquisition of the company. Although Lin Feng's vision has always been accurate, too hasty expansion is not a good thing. The goal of "Second World" is to become the best IT company in the world, so it must be done step by step.
A footprint should not be too eager for quick success. Otherwise, the foundation will be unstable. Once it expands too fast in the future and makes a slight mistake, it will cause an avalanche-like disaster.
Everyone shook their heads and firmly disagreed with Lin Feng's suggestion.
Lin Feng was also speechless. Unexpectedly, everyone opposed his proposal to acquire the company this time. Whether it was the game development department or the hardware development department, they all opposed it with one voice. And they opposed it firmly! Of course, everyone was also worried about Lin Feng.
Although they object due to their status and influence in the company, they mostly use various reasons to explain their objections, rather than outright and rude and rude rejection.
"Boss, the company's current annual debt repayments are as high as 100 million U.S. dollars. Moreover, it just acquired 'imax' and 'Blizzard Entertainment' not long ago, and now there is really no money!" Wu Zhaopu said.
Although his proposal was opposed by everyone one after another, Lin Feng was not angry. Because Lin Feng's authority in the company was too heavy. The "Second World" itself was created by Lin Feng, and it can be said that it has developed to this day.
He takes all the credit, and as the president, Lin Feng gets a symbolic annual salary of US$1. These deeds make it impossible for everyone to oppose Lin Feng head-on. This has advantages and disadvantages. Lin Feng deeply understands his own advantages and disadvantages.
shortcoming.
The reason why he has been able to develop so far is not relying on extraordinary wisdom or foresight. Lin Feng relies on only one thing - the memory of the future. But this memory will end in 2009. So after 2009, how will he deal with more difficult situations?
The fierce struggle in the business world requires collective efforts and cannot always rely on Lin Feng alone.
Therefore, this time everyone opposed Lin Feng's proposal at the same time. Instead of feeling angry, Lin Feng was very pleased. However, this plan must be implemented. As for everyone's opposition, Lin Feng believed that after they heard his plan,
People will no longer object.
Sure enough! When Lin Feng told the whole story that this financing was actually to acquire part of the shares of "NVIDIA", everyone was excited. Especially the two heads of the hardware development department - Lu Zhiyi and He Guoyuan.
Lu Zhiyi has always been troubled by the cruel fact that "amd" is far inferior to "Intel" in technology. Although "amd" has tried its best, Lu Zhiyi must admit that the gap between "amd" and "Intel" is very big.
, this is a gap. If it were the original "amd", Lu Zhiyi believes that he would never see "amd" catch up with "Intel" in his lifetime. This is just catching up, not catching up. But after joining the "Second World"
, Lu Zhiyi believes that he will be able to see "amd" surpass "Intel" in his lifetime, definitely!
But this will take a long time, and "AMD" cannot make any mistakes in the middle. Also, "Intel" cannot develop too fast. But now, the acquisition of "NVIDIA" has given the "Second World" a shortcut to surpass "Intel"
.As long as we can control "NVIDIA" and combine the strength of the "Second World", it will be enough to compete with "Intel"!
If you use excitement to describe Lu Zhiyi, then you can only use madness to describe He Guoyuan. As the founder of "ati" and now the head of the "ati" hardware development department of "Second World", He Guoyuan deeply understands
The power and excellence of "NVIDIA". If the "Second World" can finance "NVIDIA", my god, He Guoyuan feels excited from his bones just thinking about it. Combining "NVIDIA" and "ati"
The company's technology, the graphics card technology will be taken to a higher level.
If it is really possible, I am afraid that the update speed of graphics cards in the future will be faster than now!
As for those game development departments, their eyes are also shining. The more advanced the graphics card technology, the more perfectly the effects of the games they develop can be displayed in front of players. Especially "World War", which will have a global open beta on New Year's Day next year, that is even more
Requires graphics card support!
"Boss, this acquisition is okay!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they unanimously agreed with Lin Feng's proposal.
Lin Feng smiled. Sure enough, this proposal will definitely get everyone's approval. Although it is a bit tight in terms of funds, it can complete the turnover of funds through banks. As for the company's too much debt, Lin Feng is not worried. Once it can be acquired
After "NVIDIA" and "Second World" own enough shares of "NVIDIA", the money can be earned through the market. What's more, the stock price of "Second World" will definitely rise by then, and it can be done by just raising a little money.
Turnaround is underway.
If the "Second World" owns "NVIDIA", it will definitely be a huge earthquake in the personal computer industry.
Just when Lin Feng was about to end the meeting, a discordant voice came.
"I object!" Abby Cohen's voice came.
What Lin Feng held was a three-party video conference. After all, it was related to another major investment in the "Second World", so Lin Feng asked Abby Cohen to also listen. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng thought that the person who should support him the most
Abby Cohen actually opposed his plan. You know, this was a plan agreed to by all company executives. Lin Feng did not expect that Abby Cohen would object.
"Abby, why!" Lin Feng asked.
Abby Cohen gently smoothed her hair.
"Boss, based on the current market value of 'Nvidia', it is about 4.82 billion U.S. dollars. Calculated based on a premium of 150%, it will be at least about 7 billion U.S. dollars. Lin, if the 'Second World' invests about 3-4 billion U.S. dollars, then it will
It holds about 40% of the shares. Counting the distribution with NVIDIA shareholders, "Second World" will probably be able to hold about 35% of the shares in the end. If you add in the "ati" shares owned by "Second World", this is enough.
A monopoly has been formed in the graphics card market." Abby Cohen sighed and shook her head.
"At that time, 'Intel' will definitely sue the US antitrust organization in the name of 'antitrust'. Once the US government departments intervene, it may be very bad. Who knows, the company will be forced to split up!" Abby!
- said Cohen.
After listening, everyone nodded repeatedly. Everyone was too excited just now. They only thought about the benefits brought by the company's financing of "NVIDIA", but they did not think of the possible consequences after the financing.
Antitrust! If it is really sued by the US government for antitrust, it will be a disaster! At that time, "Intel" will probably laugh very cheaply!
"Abby, what do you think we should do?" Lin Feng thought for a while and asked.
Abby Cohen smiled.
"Lin, this is actually very simple. In fact, since you established the 'Second Consortium', the connections between the companies have not been close. This time is just an opportunity." Abby Cohen said.
Lin Feng was silent after listening. Indeed, although he established the "Second World Consortium", there are actually some cooperations between major companies, except for a few companies (such as "Tencent" and "Second World")
In addition, most companies do not interact with each other. This is completely different from the Japanese consortium companies holding shares in each other. This kind of connection is not close. It is you who acts as the hub between the companies in your own "second consortium".
rather than the company's interests.
This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can abandon some companies with poor assets at any time according to the actual situation, so as not to affect the operation of the entire group. But the disadvantage is that there is little connection between the companies and they cannot jointly resist risks.
And if anything happens to him, the "Second Financial Group" will most likely fall apart.
"Lin, I propose that your bank cooperate with Oracle to finance NVIDIA!" Abby Cohen said.
After listening to this, Lin Feng suddenly realized. All along, the bank has been completely excluded from the many companies in its "second consortium". In addition to serving as a financial backer, it has hardly participated in any operations of the consortium. This is not good. Now
Abby Cohen proposed that her own bank finance "NVIDIA", which is definitely the best way. Not only can the bank be fully integrated into its "second consortium", it can also participate in the operations of major companies.
, and it can also solve the funding problem. After all, if one's own banks always lend to the "second world" at the lowest interest rate, that will attract criticism. After all, the three banks under one's own are all joint-stock banks, not their own private banks.
Banks. Even if it is the "Second Bank" and its actual holding exceeds 50%, it must also pay attention to the outside world's impression of it. Otherwise, if it is too insistent and the outside world does not invest, then the "Second Bank" may collapse!
"I understand, Abby, thank you for your reminder!" Lin Feng said gratefully. Without Abby Cohen's reminder, he would have made two mistakes in succession.
The "Second World"'s acquisition of "NVIDIA" was the first mistake, and asking banks to continue borrowing heavily was the second mistake.
As for finding a bank to borrow money from, that couldn't be easier. The purpose of acquiring "NVIDIA" is to have a certain say or even a controlling interest in "NVIDIA". Naturally, the bank that finances the acquisition can only be one in which Lin Feng holds absolute controlling interest.
Chapter completed!
