Song Jing and Xiao Bai and Li Kai are all classmates, even if her relationship with Li Kai was not good when she was in school, but now she feels much closer.The four of them chatted until the night, and Xiao Bai had already asked Qin to open a room for Li Kai.Li Kai stayed in the hotel for one night and drove back to work early the next morning.After Xiao Bai got up, he went to have breakfast with everyone, and the group went out to see the office building.He plans to set up a venture capital company here, and the investor will use the name of the offshore company.When it was almost noon, Xiao Bai made a call to Sean.The other party happened to be looking for him, so they met at a restaurant."
Boss, I've done a lot of detailed inquiries and so far haven't found any ongoing litigation in Matthew's research room."
Sean has entered the state, no longer politely calling "Mr.
Xiao", but directly calling "boss"."
I have a little new situation here, it is said that the institute and TI have an intellectual property dispute, and the specific details are not clear."
Rumors may not be reliable, but they are not necessarily unreliable.Xiao Bai meant to remind Sean to pay attention to this matter."
This is easy to do, I will send a letter to the other party to confirm it as soon as I go back, and I should get a reply soon."
Sean immediately laughed when he heard this, it may be inconvenient for others to inquire, but he can send a lawyer's letter, and presumably the other party will not refuse him.If a lawyer's letter is sent and the other party ignores it, then after Xiao Bai acquires the research institute, TI will talk about intellectual property rights again, and it will be the other party who will be at fault.Xiao Bai smiled and nodded, Liu Xiaoling also heard their conversation on the side, and now she suddenly felt that although the lawyer's fee was very expensive, it was also very reasonable.Sean hurried back to the office after eating, and he didn't delay, he wrote the letter at noon, and then faxed it to the legal department of TI Company.In the afternoon, Xiao Bai and others continued to look at the office building.Liu Xiaoling has taken a fancy to a location, and the rent and conditions in all aspects are also good.Xiao Bai plans to ask Sean to come over tomorrow to sign the contract, and in the future, the legal counsel of the venture capital company will let the other party take care of it first.The next day.In the morning, Sean accompanied Xiao Bai and others to sign the office lease contract, and when he returned to the office, he received a reply from TI.So he hurriedly called Xiao Bai and went to have another meal at noon.TI said that some of Matthew's research results on single-chip microcomputers infringed on TI's rights and interests.TI has sent them a lawyer's letter and is currently considering a lawsuit to revoke the technology patents of the Matthew Institute. ”So far, the context of the whole thing is relatively clear.The institute is seeking to sell its entire unit, not only for financial reasons, but also for a huge compensation lawsuit from TI in the future."
These guys!
They are bullying us, they don't understand the situation, and they plan to push us into the fire pit?
Dr.
Matthew is just too much!
”Zhou Siyi was very angry after hearing this, and he still respected Matthew Ryan a lot."
Ahem, Dean Zhou, this matter actually has little to do with Dr.
Matthew.Didn't they say that day?
He is only responsible for the initial contacts and is not involved in the specific negotiations. ”They are all "workers" who get paid salaries, and Dr.
Matthew is just doing his job.Besides, he did not participate in specific negotiations, which shows that the management does not necessarily trust him much.The same is true in the mall, where risks and opportunities coexist."
Then why don't we buy it?
Mr.
Xiao, let's invest in the construction of a R&D center by ourselves.Hey, it's just a pity for those R&D results. ”Zhou Siyi is still distressed about the R&D results and technical data, but he recommends abandoning the acquisition plan."
Boss, why don't you talk about it?
Everything has its due value, and without this problem, the other party can bid $50 million, and with this problem, we can also offer a purchase price of $10 million. ”It is difficult for Sean to understand Zhou Siyi's thoughts, business needs to be discussed, it is nothing more than the price.As long as the price is right, nothing is a problem."
Yes, Sean is right!
Dean Zhou, you can reply to the other party, we are interested in acquiring their research institute, and formal negotiations can be held in the afternoon. ”Xiao Bai and Sean have similar ideas, and some of the technical achievements of the research institute have problems, so it is better to eliminate these.The remaining parts that are not problematic can be revalued.Zhou Siyi was stunned for a while, then shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know how long your brains are, but the thinking is different!"
Okay, I'll call Dr.
Matthew when I get around. ”In the afternoon, the institute sent a five-member negotiation team to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.Xiao Bai still rented a small conference room and let Zhou Siyi, Liu Xiaoling and Sean be responsible for negotiating with the other party, and he himself did not participate.To be honest, now that he knows the weakness of the other party, Xiao Bai doesn't need to go into battle in person.It's a great opportunity to exercise, especially for Liu Xiaoling.She will stay to manage the venture capital company in the future, and she doesn't know how many things she will encounter, and only through practice can she grow."
Brother Xiao, the afternoon negotiation Lawyer Sean played a big role.His every sentence hit the other party's vital point, and he also said that such a concealment by the other party was suspected of fraud. ”After the negotiation in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoling hurried to find Xiao Bai.She felt that she had learned a lot in the past few days, and she had an indescribable excitement in her whole person."
Lawyers, of course they are good at playing tricks.Okay, Xiaoling, you are tired and go to rest in the afternoon, and I will ask Dean Zhou about the negotiation. ”Xiao Bai felt sorry for Liu Xiaoling, and asked her to go into the bedroom to lie down for a while, and then call her when it was time for dinner.Liu Xiaoling didn't know how many brain cells she had died in an afternoon, so she obediently walked into the bedroom and lay down in a daze.After a while, Zhou Siyi came over and reported to Xiao Bai.To sum up, the other party had to agree to remove the problematic research results and some technical patents, and the purchase price was reduced to $17 million."
There is still moisture at this price, and I will talk to the other party tomorrow.Let me say, $10 million is our highest bid!
”Of course, Xiao Bai is making an analogy, the specific price still needs to be calculated repeatedly, and for this reason, Zhou Siyi has made many overseas calls.Next, negotiations continued.Xiao Bai took Qin and others to register "Chenfeng Capital" in Silicon Valley, which was co-founded by an offshore company and Xiangjiang Yingsheng Investment Company, with a registered capital of 50 million US dollars.The chairman of Chenfeng Capital is Xiao Bai, and the general manager is Liu Yixiong.Liu Xiaoling is the executive director and deputy general manager of the company, and her power is relatively decentralized.Xiao Bai hopes that Liu Xiaoling will exercise for a few more years, and when she matures, she will transfer Liu Yixiong back to Xiangjiang."
Start working on this."
Xiao Bai then asked Liu Xiaoling to focus on the formation of the venture capital company, and the acquisition negotiations have come to an end, and there is nothing to learn.To set up a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, you must recruit some local staff, otherwise it will be difficult for the company to integrate into the local circle.A few days later.With the assistance of Qin, Liu Xiaoling completed the company's recruitment work.The rented office building does not need to be renovated, and after purchasing new office equipment and furniture, it opens in a low-key manner.On the opening day, no one came to congratulate them, but the law firm sent a basket of flowers, and Li Kai and some Chinese in Silicon Valley came to attend the opening ceremony.Negotiations to acquire the institute were finally settled.AUO Microelectronics Corporation and Times Technology Research Institute jointly invested US$11 million to acquire the research institute.The institute spun off the controversial technical results and the ownership was transferred from the institute to the name of the company in Singapore."
Dong Xiao, I think we still made money!
Although the other party has stripped away some of the technology, the original research materials are still preserved.We can't use this part of the technology directly, but it can provide ideas for our next R&D work and a technical path that can be used for reference. ”Zhou Siyi is very satisfied with this acquisition, and at the same time has a high evaluation of Sean."
By the way, there's one more thing, Dr.
Matthew is out of work."
Matthew Ryan insisted on finishing his last shift, and the management withdrew to Singapore, while he was temporarily unemployed as a local."
Dean Zhou, I have learned about Dr.
Matthew, and he is quite accomplished in technology.Why don't you ask the other person to talk?
If the other party is interested, he can be hired as the person in charge of the R&D center. ”Xiao Bai has no hostility towards Dr.
Matthew, he values the other party's professionalism and superb technical level.The most important point is that Dr.
Matthew has a good set of management in R&D institutions."
Xiao Dong, sometimes I find that you are really very angry!
I'll be in touch with Dr.
Matthew in the future and hopefully he'll take on this new job. ”Zhou Siyi felt that it was still very comfortable to do things under Xiao Bai's hands."

By the way, Dean Zhou, you can go directly to Europe after you are busy with this matter.We will build a research institute in Europe, and you can take Song Jing and the others to investigate it properly. ”The European research institute focuses on communication technology, focusing on RF front-end and 2G mobile phones.Xiao Bai handed over this matter to Zhou Siyi and Song Jing, and when they flew to Europe, Qi Yuefeng would also send someone to join them, and Xiao Bai himself would not go.Next, Zhou Siyi talked to Matthew Ryan, and the other party happily agreed to be the director of the Silicon Valley R&D Center of Times Technology.In fact, for Dr.
Matthew, the job pays well, and he has a certain amount of initiative, and he doesn't have much room for bargaining.
