Guy arrived late.

He was wandering outside the conference room in agony, like an ant on a hot pot.

After Kembauer came out, he saw his eyes stern:

"You are really persistent. You chased me here."

"Listen to me, I'm not jealous of you..."

Kembauer scolded: "Shut up!"

"Just watch how I make the family famous."

After that, Kembauer left the family's ancestral land, which was like a holy palace, under the escort of bodyguards.

He excitedly dialed Robert's number:

"Sir, when will we start negotiations?

I can fully represent the family and reach a transaction agreement with you."

Robert suppressed his inner smile and said quickly:

"Anytime, we will pack a copy of ASML's financial reports in recent years for you."

"Haha, that's not necessary. As a shareholder, no one knows ASML better than me."

Robert disagreed with this statement.

Smith is a capable man. His financial report, profit and pie all look excellent.

If it weren't for the progress of Peninsula Technology in immersion, Wang Lei and he were convinced.

The light source of the lithography machine will definitely not belong to deep ultraviolet light in the future, or the F2 laser that ASML is researching. He would never resell ASML.

He knows very well how difficult it is to develop F2 laser.

This light is easily absorbed. The original lens, photoresist and other supporting materials cannot be used and must be redeveloped.

Redevelopment means continuous huge investment.

Moreover, even if ASML successfully develops F2 laser and successfully shortens the 193-nanometer deep ultraviolet light to 157 nanometers, this improvement is very limited.

It is completely incomparable to the immersion experimental data revealed to him by Wang Lei.

Therefore, even if Boss Wang does not urge him, he will sell ASML before Peninsula Technology's immersion technology matures.

The reason why ASML's stock is so high now is largely because Schmidt has been advocating that the F2 laser will soon be successfully developed.

ASML will continue to lead the trend of semiconductors.

But if Peninsula Technology quickly comes up with more advanced products, the higher it is praised, the harder it will fall.

For ASML's stock price, it will be an unprecedented disaster!

This is the real reason why Robert decided to sell ASML.

So when Kembauer decided to be the sucker, Robert welcomed him with both hands.

Before the negotiations began, Robert had someone prepare the most abundant meal for the team that came to negotiate.

The world's top ingredients surprised Kembauer.

"Sir, this meal is not cheap."

Robert said proudly:

"The ingredients are secondary, this bottle of red wine has a great origin."

Kembauer took a sip without caring and praised:

"It tastes really good, it should be a year old."

"Haha, this bottle was given to me by a friend the year I successfully acquired ASML. It is said that the auction price is as high as 300,000 US dollars!"

Kembauer was also surprised, and there was an indescribable touch in his heart.

He felt that Robert really wanted to make friends with him, otherwise why would he use such precious wine to entertain him.

Kembauer didn't know that this was Robert's last meal prepared for him.

In the end, this meal cost about 400,000 US dollars. If social networks were not developed enough, Kembauer would also have the urge to take pictures to show off.

After the meal, the two sides started formal negotiations.

"Mr. Robert, how about we settle at today's closing stock price?"

According to Kembauer's calculations, he spent 4.5 billion US dollars to enter the game, and now holds 13.15% of the shares. In several rounds of growth, the total value has tripled.

To take over 30% of the shares held by Cayman Capital, you have to pay a huge amount of money of 30.7 billion!

But it is obvious that Robert's appetite from the beginning is not just 30.7 billion.

He smiled and said:

"You should know that the F2 laser is about to be successfully developed. Why don't we wait until it is developed before we talk about the acquisition?"

If the F2 laser is really successfully developed, the stock price will inevitably usher in a new round of growth. By then, it will not be this price.

The Ross family naturally knows this well.

Kembauer was still trying to control the pace of the negotiations. He quoted again:

"How about 33.77 billion? We will settle with a 1.1 times premium."

Robert still shook his head and revealed a number:

"We will not sell it for less than 45 billion."

The Ross family was shocked.The premium was nearly 1.5 times, Robert had a big appetite.

They said with embarrassment:

"Sir, even if we agree to your offer, the exchange will reject the acquisition."

Too much premium will inevitably affect the stock price in the second market, and it will be suspected of interest transfer, and the rationality of the valuation will also be questioned, and the exchange will think that both parties are raising the stock price.

Seeing Kembauer's embarrassment, Robert was not discouraged.

...

In the end, the Ross family recognized that ASML had huge potential value and completed the acquisition of ASML at a price of 37 billion US dollars.

And disclosed this transaction at the board meeting.

The whole audience was shocked, and Smith, as the president, almost popped his eyes out.

Cayman Capital actually sold all its shares to the Poseidon Foundation, and Kembauer held 30% of the shares on its behalf.

In this way, Kembauer, who owns 43% of ASML's shares, officially became ASML's largest shareholder!

After learning the truth, Smith's face changed rapidly.

With Cayman Capital's sudden withdrawal, his plan to use capital to check capital completely failed.

Even if he was beaten to death, he couldn't figure it out. The stock price was soaring, so why did Cayman Capital withdraw?

Was Robert disgusted by him and didn't want to stay for a day?

Smith had great doubts about his personal charm. Was he really so annoying?

Shareholders, including Gates, felt that although Cayman Capital sold shares at a premium, it would definitely be a loss-making business in the long run.

In addition to being unable to tolerate Smith, they really couldn't find a more appropriate reason to explain all this.

So they looked weird, staring at Smith and wanted to find a hole to get into.

What's more terrible is that after announcing the news, Robert looked refreshed and smiling, which seemed to confirm everyone's speculation.

Just as Robert was about to leave, Schmidt suddenly yelled at him:

"You will regret your decision today. The breakthrough of F2 laser is destined to make ASML the most eye-catching star in technology stocks!"

Robert did not respond, but just smiled.

And this deal immediately became the headlines of Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

The acquisition price of up to 37 billion US dollars immediately made Cayman Capital the center of industry hot discussion.

But this time it was not one-sided praise, and the operation of Cayman Capital was praised and criticized.
