There's a black hole inside me

Hanwuji Company is a technology company that has been established for nearly ten years.

When the company was established, it made a big splash, releasing the first professional AI chip in China, and even the first in the world. It took the lead in setting off a wave of AI and became a popular star in the technology circle.

It can be said that it became famous overnight.

It created the fastest listing record for domestic technology companies, and its market value soon exceeded 100 billion.

However, the huge success of the listing and the thousand-fold increase in wealth once made the company lose itself, the internal atmosphere was extremely impetuous, and even lost its goal.

Except for the success of the first two chip products, the following products became mediocre and uncompetitive in the market, gradually becoming lost in the crowd, like the fall of a genius.

The market value also quickly dropped to 50 billion, 30 billion, 10 billion... and became a junk stock in the stock market.

It was not until the new president Lin Minjun took office two years ago that he carried out drastic reforms, adjusted the department structure, and put the company's main energy on technology research and development.

A year later, it launched the "Siyuan 1st Generation" AI chip, which ranks among the top AI computing power.

This year, in just four months, iteratively launched the "Siyuan 2nd Generation" and "Siyuan 3rd Generation" AI chips, both of which have greatly improved performance.

Among them, the Siyuan AI supercomputer based on the "Siyuan 3rd Generation" chip sold 15 units in half a year, creating a revenue of 2 billion, turning losses into profits, and greatly improving its operating conditions.

Now Hanwuji Company has been generally favored by the market, and its market value has increased to 30 billion.

However, facing the sudden request for a full acquisition from the Black Hole Group.

After a discussion between the company's executives and shareholders, most shareholders tended to be fully acquired... Hanwuji Company has been struggling for several years. Although it is profitable this year, shareholders have long been hungry and eager to eat a big bite of meat.

The Black Hole Group is also known for its "rich and stupid".

"80 billion, as long as Black Hole Group can afford this price, the company will be sold immediately."

"No, at least 100 billion, our market value potential is at least 100 billion."

"The bottom line is 100 billion, but the opening price must be 120 billion, leaving some room for bargaining."

"Then it's better to open the price at 150 billion, and stick to 120 billion! If it doesn't work, then back off a little and close the deal at 100 billion."

"That's right, follow this negotiation idea! Black Hole Group is so rich, maybe it will pay 150 billion without bargaining."

These shareholders are very idealistic.

Even Lin Minjun, who participated in the meeting, was speechless and felt that these shareholders were simply mentally retarded.

50 billion.

Soon the Black Hole Group made an offer. If this price is okay, then the deal will be made, if not, forget it.

Of course, these shareholders refused to accept this and sent a message back: "At least 120 billion."

Black Hole Group replied: "At most 50 billion."

"At least 110 billion!"

"At least 95 billion!"

When they kept shouting "At least 80 billion, it can't be any less", Black Hole Group chose to ignore it and was unwilling to respond.

Lin Minjun had to say at this time: "Don't shout anymore. Black Hole Group is not a sucker. Our company's AI supercomputer is not the only supercomputer product on the market. Several companies have launched the same competitive products, some of which are better than ours and cheaper. Recently, Longyao Company has launched a chip foundry service that "excludes material costs and only makes 1 yuan per chip". In the future, the cost of an AI supercomputer may be only 5 million." "A supercomputer for 5 million, think about how many can be bought with 80 billion? How many can be bought with 50 billion?" "I think Black Hole Group does not need to acquire our company. 50 billion can buy enough AI supercomputers. Don't question the professional ability of Black Hole Group's actuaries. They can't offer more than this number." Swish~ After listening to Lin Minjun's analysis. The shareholders suddenly quieted down. All of them were speechless and no longer had the confidence to insist on 80 billion. Of course, they were not willing to sell it for 50 billion. At present, the market is generally optimistic about Hanwuji Company, and the stock market still has great growth potential. After a period of time, the market value will definitely increase to 50 billion, 80 billion, or even return to the peak of 100 billion.

The matter was left unresolved.

However, there are always unexpected situations in this world.

Including President Lin Minjun was shocked.

Thousands of technical employees of Hanwuji Company were not happy. They strongly demanded that the company be acquired by the Black Hole Group, and even threatened to resign collectively. If the company was not acquired, they would collectively jump to work for the Black Hole Group.

Lin Minjun was shocked and hurriedly asked these technical talents, who accounted for two-thirds of the total number of employees in the company, why they required the company to be acquired by the Black Hole Group. They did not hold any shares in the company. What did this have to do with them?

Lin Minjun found it difficult to understand and did not know what these employees thought.

"Black Hole Group is the only company among all technology companies that helps all employees solve housing problems."

"If our company can help me solve the housing problem, I can cut my monthly salary in half."

"I have been working in the capital for eight years. The houses here cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per square meter. I know that I will never fit in here. I will always be an outsider."

"My child will go to elementary school next year. I don't want to leave him in my hometown in the countryside."

"I have waited for ten years for this opportunity to settle down in a big city, and I will never miss it again."

"Boss Lin, I admire your ability and character. If possible, I want to work with you forever, but now, no one can stop me from joining the Black Hole Group." The youngest and most promising deputy technical director of the company said so.

Lin Minjun was stunned and completely speechless.

Because even he himself had struggled for nearly twenty years to settle down in the imperial capital, and his mortgage had not been paid off. Although he had an annual salary of millions, he could not save much after deducting various expenses, and his two children were both boys.

He quickly reported this situation to the shareholders' meeting.

"For a house, these guys rebelled?" A shareholder was furious: "A bunch of useless things!"

"Unless the company helps them solve the problem of buying a house and settling down, they will definitely resign."

Lin Minjun's words put out the fire of all shareholders.

Thousands of employees, thousands of houses, and still in the imperial capital, this is going to make them bankrupt!

"Once they all quit, the company's stock price will plummet, and the technology patents will be meaningless. Black Hole Group will soon have the ability to create AI supercomputers without spending a penny." Lin Minjun added: "The only way is to quickly agree to the acquisition before Black Hole Group knows about this, otherwise the company will suffer heavy losses." "This... OK!" "It's the only way." "It's a loss, a big loss!" The shareholders felt extremely painful, but they still agreed to it.

... "You agree to sell it for 50 billion?" Black Hole Group was confused and even felt puzzled. They had given up the acquisition plan, but they didn't expect the other party to do this. However, since the other party agreed, Black Hole Group didn't think much about it, let alone bargaining for a little price. The deal was quickly reached! Han Wuji Company announced that it was acquired and delisted, and changed its name to "Black Hole Supercomputing Company".
