"Jonathan has a lot of money, and dared to make an offer of 50 million US dollars in one breath! Isn't he afraid that shareholders will suspect him of delivering benefits to the Oriental Group!" He Guoyuan said with a smile.

Although he has left Dongfang System Software Company, he still has a lot of eyeliners in the company. After Li Xuan called and asked him to go fishing, he immediately figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

"Yeah, AOL only dared to quote 20 million, and the application software side only gave a conservative estimate of 10 million! It's just that they all underestimated my appetite. In my opinion, the 'navigator' browser It is worth at least 500 million US dollars, and this is only the current quotation!

A graphical browser is the key to the Internet, and EGB has firmly held that key in its own hands. The value of EGB will be fully revealed when the door to Internet commercialization is truly opened! "Li Xuan said with a smile.

He Guoyuan immediately understood what his boss meant. He had no plans to sell EGB at all. The $500 million offer is just a more euphemistic way of rejecting Jonathan. Because it is impossible for the other party to persuade other people in the Eastern System Software Company to agree to spend 500 million US dollars to acquire a software that has not produced any real economic benefits.

You know this is $500 million in real money! Even if Jonathan is obedient to the future value of the "Navigator" browser, there will still be many people shaking their heads and not buying it. After all, who can be 100% sure about the future? Most people value immediate interests more than they like to look so far ahead. Who knows if I will continue to hold shares in this company after waiting three or five years!

Thinking of this, He Guoyuan frowned slightly. In fact, he himself often uses the "Navigator" browser to surf the Internet. This software is indeed very convenient. Everyone is searching for the information they are interested in when surfing the Internet. After continuous improvement, the latest trial version of the "Navigator" browser is already very rich in functions.

The main reason why EGB company still bears the name of "trial version" and continues to release the "Navigator" browser for free is because the current Internet user base is still too small. Even if the company changed to charging now, the income would be just mosquito leg meat, which is dispensable to EGB.

However, once the software is charged, the psychology of users will change unconsciously, and everyone's expectations for the software will be raised. After all, they spent money. This is very unfavorable to the early promotion of the "Navigator" browser, and may even further trigger a chain reaction that inhibits the development speed of the entire Internet industry.

However, in He Guoyuan's view, the quotation from the system software company is actually very sincere. The reason why the "Navigator" browser can be quickly rolled out is largely dependent on the platform of the East operating system. From this perspective, EGB has actually been taking advantage.

"The tie-in sale of 'Navigator' on the East operating system has always been free. I was afraid that Jonathan would jump over the wall and directly asked to cancel the pre-installation of 'Navigator' on the East system!" He Guoyuan reminded.

In order to control the content of the operating system not to be too large, Dongfang System Software Company has very strict requirements on the entry threshold of pre-installed software, and now only the Office series and "Navigator" of commercial software companies have this treatment. Among them, commercial software has already become a community of interests because of mutual shareholding with system software companies, so shareholders will not object.

The EGB company is completely different from the "Navigator" browser. The reason why it can be pre-installed on the East operating system is entirely in Li Xuan's face. But since EGB Company is now reluctant to give face to the system software company, and directly rejected its own acquisition proposal, Jonathan naturally does not need to continue to give Li Xuan face.

"It doesn't matter, the Oriental Research Institute has already begun to communicate with major computer manufacturers, and plans to pre-install the 'Navigator' browser in advance before the system software is installed on the computers of each company! We are rejecting Jonathan's acquisition agreement. After that, I will also take the initiative to terminate the pre-installation agreement with the system software company!" Li Xuan said disapprovingly.

He Guoyuan remained silent. Judging from the importance that his boss attached to the "Navigator" browser and EGB company, it was unusually high.

"I'm afraid that Jonathan will ask the company to develop his own 'Navigator' software. If this happens, we will be more passive, and there is no reason to stop it!" He Guoyuan raised new concerns.

Li Xuan fully understood what He Guoyuan meant. As the largest shareholder of the system software company, Dongfang Group should take care of the interests of the listed company. But there is a premise that Li Xuan has no obligation to transfuse blood for listed companies at the expense of harming his own interests.

"So we're not going to reject Jonathan's proposal outright, but to make a reasonable offer that we can accept. If Jonathan can convince others to accept our offer, then I'll accept the offer.

Of course, just because the two sides can't agree on the price, they cannot force themselves to lower the price and make profits for the listed company. There is no such obligation in the U.S. securities law for major shareholders! If Jonathan insists on starting anew and developing a brand-new browser, then as a major shareholder, we are still obliged to remind us in good faith.

EGB has a very complete layout of software-related patents, and has applied for more than 50 core patents around a series of functions of the "Navigator" browser! Even if the system software is forced to launch a new project, it is likely to fall into the dilemma of patent infringement! Li Xuan said lightly. The Oriental Research Institute's future arrangements for EGB Company had already had a detailed plan as early as the beginning of the company's establishment, and naturally it could be done without leakage.

He Guoyuan couldn't help sighing in his heart, his boss seemed to have no plans, he had already taken one step and three steps, and considered everything that followed. And although he has resigned from the system software company, after all, he has been in charge of the company for several years, and it is not that he has no feelings.

"Haha, old He, you don't need to be too depressed! After all, the system software company is still under our control. If Jonathan is acquainted, he will naturally retreat. But if he thinks that he has found an opportunity to spoil us, then in the end Just let him shoot himself in the foot.

In Li Xuan's plan, the EGB company can be merged into the system software company. After all, the "Navigator" browser will stabilize its monopoly position on the East operating system and bring huge help! However, the premise of this merger must be that both parties can correctly accept the reasonable valuation of the other party! Seeing He Guoyuan's sad expression, Li Xuan continued to explain.

Yes, He Guoyuan found that he seemed to be a fan of the authorities. Arrangements were made long before he left the system software company. How much real power Jonathan, the CEO, can have now is still a matter worth exploring. If this can make him successful, then the other senior management of the system software company should just find a piece of tofu and kill him!

The mood is good or bad, and it seems that it directly affects the results of fishing. Li Xuan had already caught several fish in one go, and caught several small crucian carp in one go. Others in Li Xuan's family don't like to eat crucian carp, they think it has too many thorns. But Li Xuan himself really likes this kind of small crucian carp that is an inch long. It is fried directly in a frying pan and eaten with the meat and spines. It is very fragrant.

"Li Sheng, how long has it been since Tianshuiwei started to develop? That little land reserve has been exhausted. I don't know what the Hong Kong government plans to do next?" expression. He turned his head and glanced at the contiguous new factory not far away.

The total area of ​​the entire Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park encircled by the Hong Kong government is only 5 square kilometers. Although the industrial park has set a high entry threshold from the very beginning, the attraction effect of He Nai Dongfang Group is too obvious. In particular, Hong Kong has gradually developed into one of the largest personal computer assembly centers in the world. Even IBM and other companies chose to relocate their production lines to East Asia in order to compete with Aikang.

In order to increase market share as much as possible, the major component suppliers in the computer industry have finally set up factories in Hong Kong to provide the most convenient services for downstream customers. Under the effect of this industrial agglomeration, the land reserve in Tin Shui Wai was quickly exhausted.

The Hong Kong government originally planned to expand the electronic industrial park eastward, but it was opposed by many scholars and environmentalists. Because the northeast of Tin Shui Wai is the only remaining wetland in Hong Kong. However, the planning of the second phase of the industrial park is also imminent. After all, there are still a large number of factories waiting to settle in.

Since the construction of Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park, it has created more than 10,000 direct jobs for Hong Kong. More importantly, because the electronic industrial park is located in Tin Shui Wai, it has directly activated the economic vitality of the entire northwestern New Territories. Originally, because it was the farthest area in the city center, the economic development has been relatively backward.

After the establishment of the electronic industrial park, a large number of job opportunities brought a large influx of people. The consumption of these people has naturally greatly promoted the economic prosperity of the entire northwestern New Territories. Among them, in Yuen Long, which is next to Tin Shui Wai, the unit price of newly opened commercial residential buildings has soared by 30% in the past year.

You must know that the situation in Hong Kong throughout 1988 was not very good, because the British government refused to provide Hong Kong people with the right of abode in the United Kingdom, which suddenly triggered a new wave of immigration in Hong Kong. But it is in this turbulent situation that housing prices in Yuen Long have risen against the trend.

"The greatest significance of the Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park is to provide an opportunity for Hong Kong's gradually hollowed-out industries to transform and upgrade and re-strengthen its foundation. This is of great significance to maintaining the stability of Hong Kong, because Hong Kong has a large number of low- and middle-income earners. Those who need a job to support their families.

After garment factories, plastic flower factories, and toy factories gradually moved north and left Hong Kong, a large number of new electronics factories have emerged as a new choice for them to make a living. Compared with the health and prosperity of Hong Kong society, the income of the Hong Kong government on industrial land is not worth mentioning at all, and even part of the government subsidy is worth it.

Even the government of the SAR in the north had the courage to borrow money to blow up mountains when they were poor and white, and forcibly flattened the hills one by one, and in a few years, a brand new big city emerged.

The capital in the hands of the Hong Kong government is far stronger than that of the SAR government across the Jiehe River. Since the opposition to the east is relatively loud, then it is better to turn around and extend west. The earthwork that flattened these hilltops can also be used to reclaim the sea, and it can also increase part of the land supply! "Li Xuan said with a smile.

The property market in Hong Kong has been very prosperous in recent years, and it has completely come out of the shadow of the previous collapse. The fiscal revenue of the Hong Kong government has also been greatly increased due to the soaring land value. Therefore, it is not that the Hong Kong government has no money, but that the money is so much that it does not know how to spend it. This is why the Governor of David Wilson launched the shocking "Rose Garden Project" next year. Just building a new airport can give Hundreds of billions of budget.

Li Xuan didn't think that the new airport should not be built. After all, the landing conditions at Kai Tak Airport were so bad that every time he landed on a plane, he would be scared to death. Since they are unwilling to leave the money to the SAR government after the handover, they have to spend the money efficiently.

As 1997 gets closer, everyone knows that the words of the British will become less and less useful. Therefore, in the near future, Downing Street will deliberately send a hawkish shitposter to serve as the last Governor of Hong Kong, thereby strengthening its right to speak. While the current Governor Wilson, who is still able to communicate, is still in office, Li Xuan naturally hopes to lay a good foundation for future development.

He Guoyuan nodded, the position he was sitting in was very crucial. Because the entire Dongfang Group's industrial chain system is actually coordinated and controlled by Dongfang Commercial Company. Before Bradshaw was an American, it was difficult to fully integrate into Asian culture. He Guoyuan is different. He is a native of Hong Kong and has experience in studying in Taiwan-Taiwan. It can be said that he is the most suitable candidate to be the president of Oriental Commercial.

And He Guoyuan has performed very well since he took office. His influence in the Hong Kong business community has begun to catch up with Han Peng, chairman of the Oriental Group. And issues such as the follow-up development plan of the Tianshuiwei Electronic Industrial Park are naturally not suitable for Li Xuan to personally come forward to promote, so He Guoyuan became a very suitable candidate.

As the president of Oriental Business, he can easily gather a large number of businessmen who have business relations with the Oriental Group. But when the power of capital is really twisted into a single rope, it is enough to form a deterrent that even the Hong Kong government has to handle with caution. What's more, the Dongfang Group can hide behind it skillfully, and it doesn't need to be the target of key attacks as a rafter! (To be continued.)
