rebirth of cataclysm

Although the business performance of TF Computer Company is not very good, over the past ten years, they have still accumulated some patented technologies, and a considerable part of these technologies can be transferred to mobile phones.

On a large scale, mobile phones have become more and more like ultra-small computers.

Domestic companies do not pay much attention to technology R&D investment, and the financial and human support usually received by technical departments are relatively pitiful. However, TF Computer Company is a little different, and almost half of its annual profits are invested in R&D.

Zheng Yunlong himself is a doctor of science, so it is natural for him to care about technology research and development. However, he has a lot of technologies, but these technologies are not well used in products. The technologies are not transformed into business advantages. On the contrary, those investments

This has caused TF Computer Company's cash flow to be in trouble to a certain extent.

Some other companies may not have spent so much money on research and development, but they are not stingy in how to reduce costs in advertising and brand building. The money invested can see results immediately, so,

Over the past ten years, TF Computer Company has not been as prosperous as those companies that Zheng Yunlong looked down upon.

"Mr. Zheng, you are actually making the right move by investing in research and development and spending heavily on technology. Other companies may be prosperous now, but in the long run, they will one day be without core technology.

A great company will never rely on others to survive all day long. One day, as soon as others stop the technology, they will call it quits." Hu Mingchen said with some admiration for Zheng Yunlong.

"Haha, it's hard to find a close friend who recognizes me. You know, many of my friends ridicule me for being too invested in technology. They really don't understand and are too eager for quick success. I have been in the United States.

, Why is it a superpower? After all, it is because it masters a series of core technologies. If it were not for those high technologies, would the United States still be so arrogant?" Zheng Yunlong said with a pleased smile.

.

"Mr. Zheng, we have exactly the same views. I think like you, if we don't have technology, we can't be strong. If we hadn't mastered two bombs and one satellite back then, we wouldn't be in the good situation we are in today.

.... Mr. Zheng, we are somewhat interested in acquiring your company, but the price of five billion... haha, it is still a bit expensive." Hu Mingchen is now in business, and he said to Zheng Yunlong

I admire you, but I still have to cut the price.

Hu Mingchen doesn't take advantage of others, nor is he that kind of person. Based on a preliminary intuitive assessment, Hu Mingchen really feels that the asking price of 5 billion is indeed too high.

First of all, it is difficult to continue to use the tf brand, which means that it has little value in terms of intangible assets. Secondly, Hu Mingchen really thinks that the so-called channels of tf Computer Company do not matter. Their Pengbo Electronics Group is now itself

While establishing a nationwide sales network and channels, the agents and dealers of TF Computer Company are also not

If they see it, they will switch to making mobile phones. Maybe they will switch to another computer brand and continue doing it. In the end, what attracts Hu Mingchen is this land and the patented technologies they have accumulated in the past. However, the price of this land is

Generally speaking, 500 million is almost the top. This is because Lychee Lake is no longer under construction. Otherwise, it would be worth 300 million at most.

As for those patented technologies, Hu Mingchen himself felt that their value should not exceed one billion.

After all, it is useless to just have technology. The key is to be able to use those technologies. Moreover, if the so-called patents of TF Computer Company are not applicable now, they will basically be eliminated in five years. At that time, they may be sold for 100 million

, many people will find it expensive.

"Since we are the same kind of people and are quite destined, if you are really interested, I can make certain concessions and give you a discount." Zheng Yunlong said in a hearty and soft-spoken tone.

"Mr. Zheng, what's the lowest price you can get here?" Chen Xuesheng glanced at Hu Mingchen and asked Zheng Yunlong.

"How about a 20% discount, four billion? This price is very fair and very cheap. If you acquire our company, all the technical engineers in the company will belong to Pengbo Electronics." Zheng Yunlong extended his right hand.

He made a gesture with his thumb and index finger.

"Expensive, it's still expensive. It's hard for me to imagine any company spending 4 billion... 4 billion. If all of it is invested in the R&D department, I don't know how much technology will be produced, or in other words, 40 billion will be produced."

Billions have been paid to large foreign technology companies, and they may be able to use many more advanced technologies." Hu Mingchen shook his head.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen, you guys look down on our company a little bit. Just now I thought you were like-minded people, but now it seems that I was a little overestimated." Zheng Yunlong's face darkened, and his tone changed.

It's getting a little cold.

"No, no, no, Mr. Zheng, you misunderstood. We definitely don't mean to look down on you or look down upon you. Don't misunderstand us... It's just that we have to say one thing and two things, and more

What's more, in this business, the transaction must be fair. At least it must be voluntary between you and me. Maybe you think you

The company's assets are extremely valuable, but correspondingly, those values ​​must also meet the needs of buyers. Just like buying large cotton-padded jackets in the south in the summer, and selling short-sleeved shirts in the north in the winter, no matter how good the items are, it will be difficult to sell them.

Price and sales volume increase. Do you think this is true?" Chen Xuesheng hurriedly defended.

"But our company's products are really good."

"Mr. Zheng, I would like to take the liberty to ask, have you ever approached your peers, or have any peers approached you? In the eyes of those peers, how much is your asset worth after evaluation? Some of them have paid as high as forty.

A price of 100 million?" Hu Mingchen changed his mind and said.

"Well...it's just because the ones they offered were not suitable, so I guess they didn't sell them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to wait for you." Zheng Yunlong said angrily.

Of course, Zheng Yunlong had contact with domestic colleagues, and he had contact with more than one company, but the price they offered was too ironic. The highest price was only 700 million. Zheng Yunlong was so angry that he simply walked away.

The price offered simply does not take TF Computer Company seriously.

"Mr. Zheng, this is a market economy. No matter how good the product is, it must be configured in the market. Although I don't know what specific price your peers will give you, I believe that the price they give will not be the same."

It's too high, and I also guess that they are more interested in the land your company currently owns..." Hu Mingchen looked at the look between Zheng Yunlong's brows and said.

"I don't deny that their price is indeed not high, so I won't sell to them. Besides, given their style, I won't sell it no matter how high the price is. TF Computer Company is like a child of mine.

Yes, I want to sell my child now. Of course I hope it goes to a family that knows how to cherish and care for it. Otherwise, I would rather not sell it, lest it be left in the corner of the box and wasted." Zheng Yunlong frowned and was stubborn.

The way.

Hu Mingchen nodded: "I can understand your mood and thoughts, Mr. Zheng, how about this? You can give us a list of your company's patents, so that we can have a space to weigh and consider. Just like

As you said, we are the same kind of people, so if your technology is really useful to us, then we will definitely give you a fair and reasonable price, and we will never make you feel that you are being trusted or inhumane.

What do you think?"

Anyway, it is impossible to finalize it now. This is the first time they have met. There is no reason to conclude a deal as soon as they meet.

Acquiring a company is not an easy thing. It involves too many details. It is not just as simple as a price. Let’s not talk about the procedures. It is just how to arrange the people of TF Computer Company and the claims and debts of TF Computer Company.

How to deal with it cannot be clarified in a few words.

In addition, when it comes to technology, Hu Mingchen and Chen Xuesheng are both laymen, and the evaluation of those patents must be left to He Xin and others.

Therefore, only after He Xin and others screened and evaluated the technologies one by one, could they give a real price to Zheng Yunlong.

Zheng Yunlong glanced at Hu Mingchen, and then looked at Chen Xuesheng, meaning to ask whether Hu Mingchen's words represented his meaning.

"Mr. Zheng, I mean the same thing. What our Mr. Hu said can represent me." Chen Xuesheng hurriedly agreed.

"In that case, then I will make arrangements." Zheng Yunlong paused for two seconds, and then began to order the assistant accompanying him to retrieve and organize the information.

While waiting for the information, Hu Mingchen and others changed the topic to life.

Talking about life is always easier than talking about work and business.

"Mr. Zheng, are you planning to retire? Are you going to spend your old age and enjoy family happiness, or are you going to travel around the world?"

"If you want me to be completely disgusted with this person, I really can't stay idle. I have never thought about traveling around the world, but if I want to be in the business world again, I am tired of it. If it is possible,

, I plan to teach in a university." Zheng Yunlong drank tea.

"Go teach?" Chen Xuesheng was surprised by Zheng Yunlong's choice.

"Why, Mr. Chen thinks I'm not good? I have a doctorate from a European and American university and have been running a company for many years. Even if I am not very successful, I should still be able to teach in a university. I have a classmate who works in Langzhou.

He persuaded me to go to the state university to be a professor, and the school would give me the treatment as a professor. Not to mention, I was really interested. But it’s a pity that I can’t get away at the moment. When I have some free time, I will be in the ivory tower.

Maybe it’s more suitable for me, I don’t know.”
