    Red Hat

    Office of the Chairman

    President Huo Jiaguang was reporting on the specifics of his recent contact with Wang Lie (son of Wang An). After a while, he closed the folder and watched the chairman Wang Yaocheng remain silent.

    Wang Yaocheng pondered for a moment, and said; "Wang An Computer has a European competitor again. This is a new variable. I hate this unexpected situation. Before the Europeans put forward a competitive offer, let's get it all done."

    Huo Jiaguang; "Boss, the Europeans only showed interest. They wanted to pick up a bargain. For this, the debtors of Wang An Computer knew that the conditions of these guys were even more stringent. They only wanted patents and not factories."

    "What's the problem now?"

    "Wang An Computer's trade union is the biggest obstacle. They want to retain as many employees as possible. Our M&A team and creditor banks can't reach an agreement on this. Their demands are too outrageous. They want to recall at least 10,000 employees.  human scale."

    "That will drag us down. The labor cost in the United States is high, so it is only suitable for retaining high-end research projects. Factories are suitable for building in low-cost areas. For example, in Huaguo, our computer production base is under construction. From there, we will produce products with  world-competitive products."

    "Yes, boss, I agree with your point of view. The urgent issue now is to start the acquisition in advance to prevent long nights and dreams."

    "They need our M&A funds now, but there are still more than 4,000 employees. If we don't know how to take over, how can we take over this heavy burden?" Wang Yaocheng knocked on his forehead with a headache and sighed; "I am a worker.  I don¡¯t want it. According to the plan, the main board factory, display factory, accessory factory and assembly factory will all be closed. We can only accept 1600 high-end research talents, plus company operation and channel personnel, no more than 2500 people. They are now bankrupt.  We can fire employees, but we don¡¯t have the ability, and the union is very difficult.¡±

    In China, a large-scale computer production base is under construction.

    Compared with the high labor cost in the United States, the domestic labor cost is almost negligible. For every worker hired in the United States, 45 workers can be hired in China. The gap is too great.

    As a qualified capitalist, Wang Yaocheng has already planned to relocate the factory and use cost and product advantages to defeat competitors.

    "Actually, these workers are the last elites, who can just maintain the production of a core motherboard factory. They can complete the assembly of key computer CPU components, including hard drives and motherboards. As long as the funds are in place, they can start production immediately, and the fastest economic benefits will be brought into play.  "President Huo Jiaguang seemed to have a plan in mind and said confidently;

    "If you are worried about the union's destruction, you can ask the legal department to mobilize and stipulate in the merger and acquisition contract that these employees can choose independently whether to follow the union to close the factory or sign binding clauses to get a stable job. I believe that most of them will  Make a smart move."

    "This is a good way. In this way, you and the legal department will act together, especially the patent lawyers. In addition, the audit department will mobilize capable forces to form a joint negotiation team. You will be given one day to prepare and fly to Boston, Massachusetts to host the negotiation.  , cut the mess with a sharp knife."

    Wang Yaocheng resolutely made up his mind. According to the many contacts before, the negotiation should not be difficult.

    Wang An Computer declared bankruptcy in September 1993, and the acquisition was almost the price of cabbage.

    In addition to assuming the debts of Wang An Computer up to 1.228 billion U.S. dollars, the other party demanded a price of 660 million U.S. dollars. The money was paid to Wang Lie and other shareholders and accepted all the assets of Wang An Computer.

    some of

    ? Including Wangan Computer Headquarters and Global Operations Center, a huge building complex located in Lowell, 25km northwest of Boston.

    This is a huge w-shaped building complex composed of three connected 14-story buildings, with many auxiliary buildings attached, covering an area of ??more than 1,000 acres. The Wang An Computer Core Research Institute is established here, with almost 900 high-level researchers.

    Here is the brain and heart of the entire enterprise operation, and the extended sales network spreads all over the world, which together form this multinational enterprise with a glorious history.

    also

    Wang An Computer has six independent research centers at Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Lincoln Town, four factories near Boston, a dedicated dock warehouse area, and some scattered properties.

    On the west coast of the United States, Wang An Computer owns a large computer assembly factory in Silicon Valley, with an independent storage area, two independent research centers, and its own logistics fleet.

    ?The high-precision cutting-edge equipment in the production workshops of all five factories cost millions of dollars each.??After listing, the profit of the year was only 60,000 US dollars, but after getting a huge amount of money, Yahoo expanded to tens of thousands of people in one year.

    In just over a year, Yahoo spent $17 billion to acquire 120 start-ups. Most of this huge investment was in vain.

    Some of the remaining acquisition businesses have also shrunk extremely, completely losing the vitality of start-up companies.

    It can be seen that Jerry Yang is so turbulent, if there is no bridle to cover him, this buddy can fly in waves, no matter how big the family is, it will be defeated.

    in this life

    With the giant Buddha Wang Yaocheng on top of it, and President Qi Yafei in full control of Yahoo, Yang Zhiyuan has no chance to make waves, so he can only be his own minority shareholder honestly.

    This situation is not unique in Silicon Valley.

    MOL and Microsoft have these big company problems. When they have money, they start to spend their lives desperately, using investors' money to launch mergers and acquisitions. It seems that if they don't buy more than a dozen companies every year, they will be blind.

    "Chairman, you look good today." Qi Yafei opened the door and came in to say hello.

    Wang Yaocheng twitched the corner of his mouth; "Hey, can you have something new? For example, hey, I like the color of your tie, it looks like my mother's rag, oh, by the way, Brother Yafei, your tie  The color of the blazer really looks like a piece of shit, and it's kind of hot."

    President Qi Yafei has always been known for his good temper. Hearing this, he couldn't bear it any longer. He dropped the folder in his hand and looked for someone, muttering;  , Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it."

    "Even if you kill me, I don't dare to compliment your aesthetics." Wang Yaocheng stepped on his foot triumphantly.

    President Qi Yafei tried to get off the sofa but couldn't lift it, lifted the coffee table but couldn't lift it, then rushed to the desk, Wang Yaocheng quickly put away the desk lamp, and President Qi Yafei took off the communicator with his hand.

    Grass, this is fixed on the desk.

    "I'm so pissed off."

    Qi Yafei stretched out his hand and shouted to the sky in a frenzy, Wang Yaocheng put away the pen and looked at him with a smile; "Brother Yafei, I think you should have a drink to relax.  Go to DreamWorks, there are many beautiful girls there, maybe there will be unexpected surprises.¡±

    "Have a drink, yes." Qi Yafei turned around and rushed to the wine cabinet.

    Wang Yaocheng immediately came to his senses, relying on his height and long legs, he quickly rushed to the front to block the wine cabinet; "Hehe, forget it, it's a mistake to drink, you need a bottle of aspirin or a small blue pill now."

    "Wow, I'm not done with you today!"

    "Sense of humor, come out with your sense of humor, and you will find that life becomes more colorful."

    Qi Yafei really has nothing to do with him; "Huh, get out of the way, I want a drink."

    "The elder brother has a life, and the younger brother will do it for him."

    a moment later

    The two brothers quarreled for a while, opened a bottle of red wine and chatted.

    It should be said that the person Wang Yaocheng is most familiar with and trusts in the company is Qi Yafei. This person has been in the system for a long time. He values ??friendship, understands rules, and has strong leadership skills. He is a very good partner.

    Wang Yaocheng has known Qi Yafei for four years, and they know each other's temperament and personality well. They are superiors and subordinates at work, and they are old iron buddies in normal times.

    In a foreign country like the United States, capable Chinese elites are not as united as Han Bangzi and the Fusang people, and they often fight each other and lose both sides.

    This kind of situation does not exist in Wang's consortium.

    The dazzling halo of Wang Yaocheng's body is enough to overwhelm everyone. When the Chinese elite gather together, the burst of energy is amazing.

    Red Hat is located in Silicon Valley, a treasure trove of talents, with hundreds of thousands of high-end talents to choose from. The company has developed to the present and has more than 1,300 employees, more than 80% of whom are Chinese, making it the highest proportion of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.

    Similarly, the achievements have attracted worldwide attention;

    ? Has hatched outstanding companies such as Netscape, Yahoo Search, and Athlon Semiconductor. Its high-tech projects are progressing smoothly, and it has continuously achieved original patent achievements, attracting the attention of many venture capital funds.

    It's a pity that the boss king is not short of money. Basically, these venture capital funds can't get into the angel round, and they can't squeeze in the A round. They can only look for opportunities during the b and c rounds of financing.

    "How about it? Let's have a Cuban cigar, this is a top brand, and the taste is quite good."

    "Okay, if you have good things and know how to share them, I won't argue with you today."

    "Touch your conscience, am I that kind of miser?"

    "You said it yourself, and I think so too."

    Qi Yafei was not polite, took a cigar from the wooden cigar case, cut off the cap skillfully, lit the cigar with the fire handed by Wang Yaocheng, and the two of them tasted it leisurely.

    The strong and mellow smell of cigar smoke permeated the room. In the smoke, the figures of the two people drifted away, breathing like a living god.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)slave?  "
