Chapter 719 Unexpected Cheng Yaojin
Kensington Palace Garden Street, the atmosphere of lunch is very good. Warren East, who seemed a little out of place half an hour ago, has perfectly integrated into the circle around Feng Yiping.┏┛
He graduated from a prestigious university and had a perfect career. His age means he has many related experiences. On the dining table, all kinds of interesting stories are easy to use and very popular.
It is completely different from the taciturn image that Cummins and the others guessed.
He speaks very well and will not rely on his seniority because he has eaten more fried fish for many years. He respects Feng Yiping especially, but he does not seem deliberate at all.
Maybe people of his level will become more and more aware of their ability to reach such an age.
Seeing Huang Jingping stand up and prepare to leave the table, that is, lunch is about to end, the gentlemen stand up one after another. He first used to praise the hostess' thoughtfulness in preparation, "This is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten."
Then he said, "I'm sorry, can you give me the ham on the plate? It's really delicious,"
"This kind of thing actually happened many times. For example, I often watched it be dumped because I was embarrassed to eat the last baked potato. But this time, this ham, my god, is simply too delicious, I can't control it, and I can't bear to be dumped like this,"
The hostess couldn't help but smile.
This old man who seemed very difficult to approach at first glance and should care about his image very much. After contacting him, he realized that it was not the case at all. He often made fun of himself and joked about himself like this. There were several times in this short lunch.
If you add the jokes about the UK and Europe, there will be more, which is one of the reasons why the lunch atmosphere is particularly good today - a potential negative factor, and the result is actually the most positive factor.
Feng Yiping could see that East did this and naturally wanted to integrate into the new group as soon as possible, so he deliberately welcomed it, but he was happy to see such behavior.
This shows that Easter has a strong utilitarian and ambition, which is better than being an old British man who no longer has aspirations and is old-fashioned and stubborn.
Everyone came to the lounge together. Because the hostess was not here, Easter made a joke between a few gentlemen. Fuguo was already very good at these aspects.
Looking at Cummins and several Americans, smiling back and forth, Feng Yiping couldn't help but sigh that as long as he wanted to show off, people of Easter's age would probably leave the impression of a treasure grandfather.
Cummins smiled, "Warren, I'm already looking forward to your visit to Silicon Valley. Those days will definitely be very interesting,"
"I'm also looking forward to going to Silicon Valley early," East said.
At this time, everyone knew Feng Yiping's opinion. After Arm was officially acquired, East and other executives went to Silicon Valley in batches to take a look.
"I have been in Cambridge for most of the time in the past few decades. I have too many acquaintances. Sometimes I often find an acquaintance in front of me on the road, so I have to stop in the street until the other party completely disappears from my sight."
"It's the same in supermarkets. I often meet friends. I often say hello and start to be sneaky like a thief, for fear of meeting him again."
"When I arrived in Silicon Valley, I finally got away from this situation temporarily."
"Hahaha," everyone couldn't help laughing again. This old man was serious about himself.
"Warren, you must stay," Cummins looked at the watch. "The next scene will definitely be very exciting."
He looked at Feng Yiping, "Right, boss,"
Feng Yiping nodded and shook his head, "You,"
This guy really likes such a scene.
Cummins smiled, and Feng Yiping also smiled, "I still have to leave some face for them."
Of course East would not miss such an opportunity.
Such a proud thing will definitely be a scene that Cummins and the others will often mention in the future. Participating in this matter together will naturally further promote their friendship.
"I'm happy, but Feng, when it comes to semiconductor companies, have you considered STMicroelectronics? It seems that their current situation is not optimistic,"
"I think they'll be happy to work with you on the capital level,"
Feng Yiping looked at the ceiling, "Stack, of course I want to,"
STMicroelectronics, a company that is more powerful in Beicunda's parent company, is the largest semiconductor company in Europe. Since its establishment in the late 1980s, it has been one of the top ten semiconductor companies in the world.
It is in several fields, such as dedicated analog chips, power conversion chips, set-top box chips, etc., and the development of communications, computers, automobiles and other fields is also very balanced. Feng Yiping is of course jealous.
"But this company has too many involvement," he shook his head. "It's hard to acquire it as a whole, and I don't want to be a pure financial investor," he said.
STMicroelectronics, as the name suggests, is the product of the merger of two companies in Italy and France. The two companies that merged, whether it is Italy's SGS Microelectronics or France's Thomson Semiconductor, are all leaders in the field of semiconductors.
Qimengda was acquired by Feng Yiping. At this time, the relevant regulatory agencies of Germany and the EU may not care about it, but if Infineon is acquired, neither Germany nor the EU will agree, let alone STMicroelectronics.
Cummins and the others thought of their boss's identity as China. If the boss was an American, then his career map would soon leave Gates and the others behind.
But East was shocked by Feng Yiping's financial resources at this time.
It sounds like Feng Yiping has no financial pressure on the acquisition of STMicroelectronics, but it is a company with annual revenue of over 10 billion US dollars. Such a company can be said to be able to acquire it. Is he already richer than Gates?
He said, "If it weren't for such artificial barriers, both our trade volume and our semiconductor-related technologies would have been much higher than they are now," he said.
Cummins and the others also agreed, Feng Yiping smiled, "If the governments of the United States and Britain can have such an understanding, it would be good news. Oh, I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone."
"Happy New Year, is the Spring Festival Gala still good?" he asked there.
Jin Ling didn't sound very festive, "Yiping, I just learned a piece of news,"
Feng Yiping frowned as he heard this, "Really?"
"Yes, although they have not issued an announcement yet, there are already relevant news on the Internet. They should have been in touch with Qimengda," Jin Ling said affirmatively.
"And, the local government, the provincial government, has made such a statement,"
Feng Yiping stood up, he really didn't expect an opponent.
This opponent is really a bit tricky.
"There must be Samsung's contribution behind this," he said.
It is not incomprehensible that there are listed companies interested in Qimengda.
Recently, some powerful domestic companies really want to take advantage of the financial crisis to buy at the bottom in Europe and the United States, but this company is a state-owned enterprise.
Really, if the reaction of state-owned enterprises could be so fast, we would have achieved a well-off society in full and steadily entered the level of Zhongkang.
He also didn't believe that the relevant government would be so active on New Year's Eve, which would definitely be promoted. However, he had some impression of the company that Jin Ling mentioned. Although it was involved in software and hardware and software, it was not first-class among domestic high-tech companies.
However, it’s useless to know that Samsung is pushing behind it. It’s hard to say to that company, especially the government behind that company, “Don’t make trouble, spend the New Year at home and get out of the way?”
"My first feeling is that the company does not have the ability to acquire Qimengda as a whole," he thought for a moment.
Although Qimengda's current market value is less than 100 million euros, it also exceeded 5 billion US dollars when its market value was the highest. The company that came forward said it still sounded like a snake swallowing an elephant.
"To investigate their financial situation, we must first rule out such a possibility. They just want to use such news to mislead investors and make trouble in the stock market."
Sorry, as a poor person who has suffered losses in the stock market, this is the first thing he thinks of.
"The funding issue is not a problem," said Jin Ling.
"Yes," Feng Yiping also understood this at this time. It was a state-owned enterprise and the local government expressed support. How could he worry about money?
"It takes time to rule out the latter possibility. You have to be prepared because, with the latest news, Samsung's prince is also ready to fly to Munich immediately,"
This is even more impossible, they must be behind it.
"I know," Feng Yiping put down the phone, "Cummins, the situation has changed a little. The scene you are looking forward to may not appear as expected,"
