"First talk to them about the acquisition of the domestic joint venture, that is, do you agree to the acquisition of navteq?" Jin Ling asked on the other side of the phone.

"Yes," Feng Yiping stood by the window and looked at Lake Michigan outside with unrest. "It seems that everyone agrees to this acquisition, and I can't stop it,"

This is also why Collins was stunned when he heard his request, but then he was immediately happy.

Jin Ling immediately heard his regret, "So, you seem to be interested in it too?"

"Yes, of course I'm interested, but Nokia has given better conditions. At present, we can't compete with it."

"It's Nokia," Jin Ling obviously knew Nokia's power.

At this time, Samsung is nothing. Nokia and Motorola can be said to be the most well-known technology brands in the world with strong financial strength.

"Yes, and this time, it has some intention to win," said Feng Yiping.

"That is, this offer may still rise sharply?"

"Yes,"

In the past hour, American companies have collected more information in this area.

Europe's largest navigation equipment manufacturer, Tomtom, the Netherlands, and the world's largest navigation manufacturer, Garmin, are believed to be in close contact with Tele                                             

tele              atlas is another most powerful electronic map company in the United States, besides Navteq, and the world's largest digital map and navigation information provider.

This also means that Navteq can be said to be Nokia's only and best choice. No wonder Collins is so sure that the final transaction price will definitely be above $6.5 billion.

"If you are really interested, even if you are reluctant to sell shares in American companies, you can still raise funds from foreign banks," said Jin Ling.

"No need," Feng Yiping shook his head, "At present, we just need to acquire the domestic joint venture,"

In terms of electronic maps, compared with Nokia's global demand, Feng Yiping's company is more focused on the domestic market.

In foreign countries, there are no other options in the future, such as Google.

In this field, Google's investment is increasing, and it can meet Feng Yiping's needs in global development in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that this at least $6.5 billion of funds will definitely be more useful after the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out next year.

"I understand. I will arrange them immediately and come up with the corresponding plan," said Jin Ling.

"Are you sure you can get Navteq to agree to this request? You should know that the branch in China is definitely one of the bargaining chips they use to negotiate terms with Nokia," he said.

"I can," Feng Yiping was very sure.

He is one of the largest shareholders of Navteq. If this acquisition goes smoothly, both Navteq’s board of directors and Nokia must do his job.

Therefore, it can also be said that there is no better opportunity to lower the price than at this time.

"That's good," Jin Ling paused for a moment, "Will you come back during the Spring Festival?"

"If you don't come back during the Spring Festival, you will also come back after the Spring Festival because I have to attend the Two Sessions,"

At this time someone was knocking on the door, "Dad, Dad, Amanda ran in, "Are you ready?"

"Okay, let's go now,"

The board of directors of navteq is meeting with O'Hai tomorrow morning, and arranged tonight. Xiao Zhijie and the others came to Chicago for the first time. They naturally had to accompany them to take a walk before dinner.

…………

At 9 pm, Feng Yiping met the little O'Hai and his wife again in a quiet villa with beautiful environment next to Lake Michigan.

"Feng," O'Hai, strode over, shook hands with him very enthusiastically, and then hugged him. "It's so happy to see you in Chicago,"

"So too," Feng Yiping looked at the Senator several times.

Compared to the first time he came into contact, O'Hai Little seems more confident and more dignified, that is, he is more charming, but he seems to be a little darker.

Maybe it's related to his busy schedule.

"Thank you, Feng," Michelle smiled and shook hands with Feng Yiping, "Thank you for coming here for a special trip."

"We are old friends, aren't we?" Feng Yiping said.

"Thank you," Michelle also looked at Feng Yiping.

Compared with the first meeting, Feng Yiping also seemed more steady and more dignified. At this time, his personal strength and influence had also improved greatly when he first met.

Given his personal vision of the problem and his subordinates provided him with many assistant nextdoors and the more popular social product Facebook, it is really rare for him to make a special trip to Chicago at such a critical moment.

In fact, what they value Feng Yiping is that Feng Yiping is in Silicon Valley and in the American business community’s luxury circle of friends.

In the United States, no matter what level of campaign, it is a money-burning activity, and the presidential campaign is even more so.

"Can you still adapt to the severe cold of Chicago?" asked Michelle.

"I'm pretty adaptable, let alone, I have this," Feng Yiping smiled and picked up a pair of gloves. It was the gift Michel gave him at the beginning.

"Haha," Feng Yiping's move obviously made the first family in the future feel more intimate.

"Feng, since you met me, you have given me a lot of sincere help. Now, it is the time when I need the help of you, an old friend, the most," O'Hei sat opposite Feng Yiping and leaned forward. "In your opinion, this time, is it the right time for me?"

"To be honest, although we also think that this opportunity seems to be pretty good, you also know that in many aspects, whether it is the support within the party, or the relevant experience and background, we cannot say that we are very capable,"

"And such an opportunity may continue to succeed, but if it fails, it will be difficult to have a chance to turn the tables."

In the presidential election, if it succeeds once, it is obviously possible to succeed again, that is, to strive for re-election.

But if it fails once, there is basically no next chance.

Every campaign requires a huge amount of funds. After the first failure and the second time, it is obviously more difficult to raise funds.

On the other hand, specifically on this issue, voters obviously do not support the view that failure is the mother of success.

After you fail once, many people will not give you a second chance.

"I have been thinking about this issue these days," Feng Yiping said solemnly. "From my personal point of view, I think there may be no more suitable opportunity for Barack than this time,"

The couple's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"

Indeed, although they had probably already had an idea at this moment, Feng Yiping's affirmation still had a great effect on them.

And it's not just about confidence.

"I bought your "Fearless Hope" and recommended it to many of my friends," said Feng Yiping.

"Fearless Hope" is the second book he published in 1995, "My Father's Dream", and is also the second autobiography of O'Hai Little. It met with American readers in October last year.

The title of the book comes from his famous speech, which mainly tells his experience of running for Congress.

"Thank you," said O'Hai.

"I noticed that this book also topped the New York Times bestseller list,"

"Your first book, My Father's Dream, and your reading version not only sold again, but also won the Grammy Award for Best Recitation Album last year,"

"I believe you know what this means, too."

Michelle glanced at the little proud little O'Hai, especially the hot sale of the second book, which means that more people like his husband.

Because compared to the first book, "The Fearless Hope", the main content of the discussion is mainly political issues and current national policies. Although the argument is very high, it is very abstract and is by no means a read that the general public likes.

But more than 2 million copies were sold quickly, which fully demonstrates that many people are buying books for his name.

"You know, this is one aspect of my concern," Michelle said. "You know, some fans are crazy, and, too, because of the inevitable racial issues, you also know what kind of shock his candidacy will bring."

“I am very worried about his safety, because of this.”

"Your concerns are not unreasonable, but I think if we increase our efforts in security, we can still effectively avoid this risk,"

"I have to say that the current American society is more tolerant than before, and fans are more rational than before."

Little O'Hai slapped his wife's hand a few times and asked another question he had been worried about, "What about competition?"

"You know, I have little experience and I am not a traditional elite representative. Whether it is compared with Hillary Clinton in the party or the Republicans who are interested in competing for the presidency this time, they have no advantage,"

This is one of his most worrying aspects.

A black man who was born in a grassroots and had just successfully run for the election, went to compete with the former president's wife, Clinton's wife, and a Republican veteran who is rumored to run for president again, and is also a representative of traditional American elite figures. He felt that he was somewhat lacking in strength.

Those two, one husband, is a former president who has been re-elected for two terms, and the other father, and his father, are both generals of the US Navy. Their relationships in the upper class and their recognition among the elites are much higher than those of him.

"This is true, but I think this is exactly one of our advantages," said Feng Yiping.

"First of all, on the Republican side, I think, this time, we don't have to think too much, because this time, they definitely won't get the support of the people,"

"Looking at the current economic situation, think about the suffering brought to so many American families by the war in Afghanistan and Iraq," said Feng Yiping.

"How bad is the current president, it can be seen from his public approval rating and the unpopularity of this Congress,"

"In this case, how could the people still support the Republican candidate?"

"In practice, how can Republican candidates make a cut with Bush Jr. during the campaign?"

“They have no way to cut,”

O'Hai Little nodded excitedly, which was also an important advantage of his team's analysis.

"As for the Democratic Party, according to the information I have learned, 'Clinton's Machine', Ms. Hillary, obviously, is going to decide to run for election,"

"From a general perspective, she does have an advantage, but, in connection with the current bad economic situation in the United States and some of my judgments on the future direction of the US economy,"

"I'll say that, in the next time this year, or next year, the economic situation in the United States will only be worse, and it will be a bad thing that many people will want to go to the streets to oppose it,"
