Reborn Millennial Gamer

648 Chapter 4 In Collusion (K)

Blue sky and white clouds, green grass.

"boom--"

An arc was drawn in the air, and the white particle golf ball fell on the lawn tens of meters away.

"Clap clap clap."

On the golf course, Ivanka smiled and applauded.

"You play beautifully, Lu! I never thought that you not only make money, but also play so well."

The one in red in front of him is Carl Icahn, the notorious wolf king of Wall Street.

"No matter how good it is, it's still 12 shots behind you. It seems that I'm still not good at golf."

Lu Fei and Ivanka looked at each other calmly.

Carl Icahn and Dong Jianguo are old friends, and even the bankruptcy and reorganization of hotels, casinos, and resorts are assured to be entrusted to him to operate.

In the name of Dong Jianguo, Ivanka made an appointment to play golf at her private course.It is easy to help the two match each other.

The rivers and lakes are not just fighting and killing, but also the ways of the world.

America is more sophisticated than China.

It's just that I can't enter other people's circles, and I won't take you to play at all.

"I can ask Ivanka to teach you well, or her father will come to ask him later, their father and daughter have good golf skills." Carl Icahn smiled and swung his club.

"It's enough to have her. Some time ago, I played eagles several times with me, and even made a hole in one."

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth turned upwards, seeing Ivanka secretly glaring at him, and immediately changed the subject, clapping his hands and applauding: "Strike!"

"Hahaha, I feel smooth today."

Carl Icahn was holding a cigar in his mouth, and reached into his pocket to take out some money to offer a reward to the caddy, but suddenly, he didn't take out the money even though he had money, and instead cast a sly look at Lu Fei and the two.

He tui, Grandet!

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth twitched, and he gave Ivanka a look.

Damn Falk!Two misers!

Ivanka resisted the urge to curse and gave a tip.

"Carl, how are you thinking?"

Lu Fei threw the club to the caddy.

The plump big ocean horses understood, and retreated for three miles after receiving the money, not daring to eavesdrop on the conversations of the big shots.

"I don't seem to have a reason to reject you. Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility will indeed make me a lot of money!"

Carl Icahn looked at them both. "And you."

"Uncle Carl, so you agree!?"

Ivanka immediately put the resentment of tipping behind her.

Compared with the business in front of me, a few hundred dollars is nothing!
The family fund invested in Motorola under the operation of Lu Fei. She never expected to receive a return immediately after only a month or so, and the rate of return exceeded her imagination.

If the acquisition is really completed with the $115 billion that they verbally agreed upon, then they and Lu Fei will hold 10% of the shares,
You can earn 11.5 billion US dollars!

Earned at least three or four times!
"The moment I joined Motorola Mobility in Lu, I had a premonition that there would be a big move."

Carl Icahn smiled, "If you let Sanjayja and the others know that what you recruited is not a savior, but Satan, I don't know how you will feel."

"No, no, no, I am indeed the savior. I am saving the entire company by doing this. Motorola has already fallen. Even if it transforms from a functional phone to a smart phone, it will be over sooner or later based on its rigid thinking and poor innovation ability."

Lu Fei shrugged, "I just help Motorola make the most favorable choice, you win, I win, everyone wins!"

Carl Icahn said, "You are right, we are all saving Motorola in our own way, how can there be such kind and good people like us in the world?"

shameless!

Seeing their sanctimonious self-moving, Ivanka said impatiently: "Uncle Carl, what method are you going to use to make Google accept Motorola smoothly?"

"Immediately propose a wholly-owned acquisition, definitely not."

Carl Icahn pondered for a moment, "That would cause a lot of people to backlash. At present, I have not fully controlled the entire board of directors. Counting my own 4 seats, there are only 14, barely enough for half of the board." Speaking of this.Lowered his voice.

"Lu, I will find a way to win at least two seats for you, and then you have to rely on yourself to exert influence and try to win over other directors and shareholders, as long as there are two-thirds..."

"This is fine, but I need your help."

Lu Fei smiled knowingly.

"Of course, our interests are the same!"

Carl Icahn readily agreed to match him.

Watching them shake hands after reaching a consensus, Ivanka's heart was pounding, as if she had heard the sound of hundreds of millions of dollars in the account.

Moreover, relying on Lu Fei's relationship with Deutsche Bank, Dong Jianguo was also spared from the debt crisis, and the whole family is on the road to prosperity.

She stared at Lu Fei with both eyes, and the feeling of spring was rippling in her heart.

"Ivanka, isn't your father here yet?"

Carl Icahn suddenly spoke up.

"Uncle Carl, I called and asked."

Ivanka shuddered, picked up the phone and called.

At this moment, the two exchanged investment opinions with each other.

Carl Icahn recommended two stocks of Herbalife, and seeing Lu Fei reciprocate, he suggested investing heavily in Apple and Netflix.

"Apple is really good. I don't know about Netflix. I have to go back and study it." He half-jokingly said, "Besides these two, Lu, I know you have at least one other."

"Oh, what do you know?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Are you planning to acquire Mentor Graphics International?"

Carl Icahn gave a "you know" look.

Seeing his determined expression, Lu Fei knew that the matter was leaked, and he didn't hide it, "You know this too? Your news channels are really well-informed."

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't deliberately spy on your investment, it's a complete coincidence, because I'm also interested in Mentor Graphics."

"you?"

"Why, don't believe it?"

"Do you know what Mentor Graphics is?"

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.

Mentor Graphics is one of the top three EDA software companies in the world, the other two are Synopsys and Cadence Electronics.

Before the emergence of EDA, everyone drew the layout by hand.

But with EDA, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

From an economic point of view, the cost of designing a 14nm chip is 2 million U.S. dollars, and designing a 7nn chip is 6 million U.S. dollars. This is all based on the premise of having EDA tools. If EDA is not used——

The design cost may directly climb to $1200 billion.

One of Huawei's most fatal culprits in the previous life was the EDA tool. Without it, 28nm logic chips and memory chips could not be designed, let alone manufactured, packaged, or mass-produced.

But unfortunately, these three EDA companies are all from the United States, and occupy 95% of the domestic market share.

As for the gap, almost 15+ years.

"Of course I know, this is a software company that specializes in helping electronic product engineers solve chip design problems."

Carl Icahn said: "So I guessed that there were potential strategic acquirers, so I did some research and found out that a company registered in Singapore dared to bid with Cadence Electronics, so I spent a little more thought. Looks like you need it."

"You're half right. Mentor Graphics has deep experience in IC and system design, simulation and manufacturing, but it's not that I need it, it needs me! Mentor Graphics' revenue has declined for three consecutive years. In order to avoid net losses, in today's economic climate, a complementary company with financial resources and strength is needed."

"You want to say that Guidance International needs logic to save it too much?"

"It's not saving, it's a win-win situation."

"Win-win? What a 'win-win'."

Carl Icahn cursed in his heart, you won twice, right?
Lu Fei could hear his eccentricity, "Mentor Graphics is not a necessity, we also have our own EDA company."

As early as last year, the 4 trillion rescue plan was released. In addition to injecting tens of billions into the national fund to support semiconductors, a new support project was established, the "Nuclear High Base Major Special Project".

Among them, EDA is listed as the top priority.

Logic then established the first EDA tool company in China in a joint venture with Huawei and Huaxia Electronic Information Industry Group——

Huada Jiutian.

Including IC design, layout, verification to simulation...

But it takes at least 6 years to develop an EDA tool.

He said solemnly: "Of course, the acquisition of Mentor Graphics can enhance the competitiveness of Huada Jiutian Industrial Software, but it doesn't matter if it is not acquired. I have other alternatives."

"Lu, I'm not trying to compete with you for Mentor International."

Carl Icahn said, "I actually wanted to help you."

"help me?"

"You know maybe I'm not good at running a company, but buying a company, you know, is my specialty!"

"You want to cooperate with me to acquire Mentor Graphics?"

Lu Fei couldn't help but be moved, "What conditions?"

"Seventy-three points, I want to take 7% of the shares."

Carl Icahn gestured.

"51%."

Lu Fei knew exactly what he was planning.

"6%!"

Carl Icahn frowned and said, "I gave in %. Is this a big enough concession, Lu, you have to be content."

"52%!"

Seeing them bargaining and fighting each other, Ivanka was in a daze, especially when Lu Fei killed "55%".

Not even one step back!
No matter how much Carl Icahn threatens and lures, he either says "I have an alternative plan" or "the big deal is self-reliance", in short, he is stuck at the equity ratio of 55:45.

One old and one young are like two hungry wolves fighting.

When Dong Jianguo came to the fight, there was no outcome.

"Haney, why did this bastard Lu get into a fight with Carl? Is it because the Motorola Mobility negotiation is not going well?"

What he cares about is not his old friend, but what he cares about is the hundreds of millions of dollars that Google can earn from acquiring Motorola. Otherwise, even if he starves to death and jumps off the stairs, he will never help Lu Fei.

"No, Dad, it went well."

Ivanka made it as clear as possible, "Why is Uncle Carl so obsessed with the control of Mentor Graphics? He doesn't know how to manage the company. Isn't it a win-win situation for Lu to let him grow the company? Why do you fight like this?"

"Naive, Hani, do you think Karl is fighting for control? No, what he is fighting for is white money!"

Dong Jianguo immediately grasped the tricks.

The reason why Lu Fei wants to use Singapore's company to acquire Mentor Graphics is because the direct acquisition is very likely to fail the approval of the Trade Commission, especially the acquisition of Nortel Networks just now.

Can be one, can be two, can not be repeated!

Even if Master Lu has a community of interests behind him.

But the bright ones don’t work, so the dark ones come.

Using a shell company to buy Mentor Graphics, and logically buying the shell company wholly, is equivalent to getting a baby and getting it.

The key is that the vest can be worn more than once.

It's like wanting to arrest Zhou Shuren, it has nothing to do with me, Lu Xun!

The acquisition is a company from Singapore, so what does my logic matter!

"I see, Dad!"

After all, Ivanka has been enlightened by Lu Fei for a long time, and tasted the Taoism inside, "Uncle Carl saw this, and helped Lu hostilely buy Mentor International, and after the delisting was completed, he transferred all the shares at a premium. Give it to him and earn the difference from it, so the more shares you own now, the more you will earn in the future.”

"You've done well in Hollywood, Harney."

Dong Jianguo was very pleased.

"The main land tune... well taught."

Ivanka pursed her lips and looked at Lu Fei.

God damn Lu Fei!I'm so mad!

Dong Jianguo's eyes were burning, and he remembered the listening corner that night.

Just as the father and daughter walked towards them, Carl Icahn and Lu Fei also ended their bickering, and had to hold their noses and agree:

"Lu, I really have you, 55% is 55%."

"Pleasant to work with."

Lu Fei smiled warmly. With the assistance of Carl Icahn, a malicious takeover maniac, it is hard for Mentor International not to fall into the bag.

"Pleasant to work with."

Carl Icahn looked at him, showing a embarrassed smile.

"I hope to hear good news from you when I come to America next time." Lu Fei found an excuse to discuss with Google, left first, and walked straight to the golf cart.

"Dad, you two fight slowly."

Ivanka hurriedly followed.

"Lu, you bloody bastard."

Dong Jianguo was in a state of dismay, feeling as if his intimate little padded jacket had been worn away by Master Lu.

"It's really a jerk! I've never seen someone who is so good at bargaining. He looks more Jewish than me. I really want to check if he has Jewish blood."

Carl Icahn rolled his eyes angrily.

"Carl, you think so too, don't you?"

"But don't say it, I also want my daughter to find such a bastard, and make your family hundreds of millions of dollars in one game."

"You want it so much, should I give it to you?"

"Stop making trouble, I don't have a daughter, haha~"

"I don't have such a son-in-law either!"

Dong Jianguo looked at the car driving away, feeling a dull pain in his heart, if it wasn't for the subprime mortgage crisis, if it wasn't for the debt crisis...

With this in mind, he swung his club violently.

The whole piece of turf was blown away, cursing:

"What!"

"Carl is such a jerk!"

Lu Fei jumped out of the car and walked into the exclusive changing room.

"Why? Didn't you finally negotiate it?"

Ivanka and two ocean horse caddies followed.

"If he does it, at least I will spend an extra 10 to million US dollars. The handling fee is really expensive. If I invest this money directly in Huada Jiutian, maybe I can get back the -year gap."

Lu Fei tore off the clothes vigorously.

On the surface, I own 45% of the shares, but in fact I have to take out about 5%, which is called joint investment by THL and other funds.

It is equivalent to the toll of a green light all the way.

"However, your Huada Jiutian has been established for more than a year. How can it compare with Mentor International, which has been established for 1 years?" Ivanka was curious, "But aren't you afraid that he will ask for a high price?"

"Why should I be afraid? At worst, I don't want Karl's shares, and he doesn't know how to manage. In the end, don't you have to obediently hand over the management rights to me?" Lu Fei laughed, "Besides, I have an alternative plan."

"Do you really have an alternative? I thought you were trying to bargain with him and scare him."

Ivanka was startled and asked urgently.

"secret."

Lu Fei made a silent gesture.

The United States can't do it, isn't there still Europe!

Wait until the European debt crisis, not to mention EDA, PLD, PCB, CAD, as long as you can start, search them all.

"Are you going back to your country soon?"

Ivanka took off her hat and shoes.

Lu Fei nodded, "But before that, I'm going to watch a game in Houston. The Rockets are playing the Cavaliers. Do you want to go with me?"

"It's so strange that you actually want to ask me to watch a football game..."

Ivanka suddenly thought of something, "Are you going to investigate the Houston Rockets and buy them?"

"Half guessed right, Larry will also be there, just in time to watch the football game and talk about the acquisition of Motorola at the same time."

Lu Fei tugged on his pants, "Going?"

Ivanka pouted, "Why not."

"The pants don't fit well either."

Lu Fei frowned, and saw Dayang Po caddy squatting down immediately, and secretly gave himself an ambiguous look.

Bitchi!

Ivanka's face was frosty, and she drove them all out.

The door was locked, and it was not opened for a long time.

When it was opened again, there was no one there.

Only the cleaning staff were cleaning the floor. Dong Jianguo and Carl Icahn, who happened to have drilled a few holes, came back. Seeing this scene, their entire faces turned green and white, their hearts were bleeding and tears were streaming.

Carl Icahn glanced at his face, chuckling to himself.

Could it be that this was the eagle shot?
