Rebirth of the Super Banking System

It also benefits from the United Technologies Corporation, which cooperates with IDG.

Several projects come down.

ERV got the ‘Membership’ of the US Confidential Software Project.

Otherwise, the general company wants to go through this process, and the time it faces is quite long. This software alone costs US$150 million in licensing fees to the US government each year.

And there are no restrictions on exports to other Western countries.

In other words.

If other Western countries want to use it, they have to pay for it. It is estimated that by the end of next year, the company’s annual licensing fee may exceed US$500 million or even higher.

Although earn less.

There are not as many companies as IBM, but the soldiers cannot make money for this equipment for the time being, just like Huawei’s equipment is rejected by Western countries. If you don’t have something, people will buy it.

Besides, it's not yet.

"Mr. Chairman, can ERV funds support these projects?" Toshiba's director asked.

“Of course it’s okay. Many of these projects are just beginning and don’t need to invest too much money at a time. With the profitability of ERV, these projects can continue even without loans.”

The soldier continued: "At the same time, I want to highlight the first acquisition plan of the new ERV."

"Acquisition plan?"

The people below were taken aback.

Just got the money, the funds for these projects that are far away may not be enough, you still buy it?

It is estimated that it is a company that is not very valuable.

"This company is called ---ARM."

The soldier finally said the final goal of this strategic financing.

"HAT?"

"ARM?"

They all thought they had heard it wrong.

What do you buy this thing for? The company present, even the weakest one, has a market value of more than ten times, or even dozens of times, that of ARM. This company is not very fancy.

Although they almost all cooperate with ARM and adopt ARM's technical architecture.

but.

This is a compromise based on common protocol standards.

If everyone's equipment adopts the same architecture technology, it will reduce a lot of trouble in device compatibility. It is not that they can't design a chip, but to avoid falling into the vicious competition of architecture standards.

"Chairman, I want to know why this company was acquired?" Apple's director raised his hand.

"This is based on ERV's long-term strategic considerations. The projects I mentioned before almost all involve chips. Therefore, I plan to buy ARM to save the company's future expenditures.

Originally, I planned to research new architecture technology by myself, and also acquired the last company you saw on the list. However, for some reasons, I suddenly felt that acquiring ARM might save a little time. "The soldier explained.

"The last company is researching a new chip architecture?"

"It seems, I really mentioned it."

"By the way, I am also a little impressed."

"..."

Recalling the previous list.

As the company with the lowest valuation.

Many of them just read their names.

This company, valued at less than US$100 million, is not worth their word for bargaining. The real big players are those core business companies with billions and tens of billions of dollars.

The soldier continued.

"ERV got involved in the design of large-scale integrated circuit chips very early. It acquired the American SVC computer company half a year ago. Now it has achieved little results. However, out of consideration to avoid competition, I decided to acquire ARM."

"This is the help I said before." The soldier continued.

"what?"

"This is help?"

"..."

As soon as the soldier finished.

The following immediately became lively.

It turns out that this is the ‘help’ that they have guessed for many days. Recalling the financing process of ERV this time, is it to raise funds and contacts to acquire ARM?

But it doesn't make sense.

Even if you don't acquire ARM.

This company will not become a hindrance to ERV, it is eager for you to use it. It can only be attributed to the chairman's strong desire for control, which they have already seen.

Help or not?

this is a problem.

One is a partner who has worked together for many years, and the other is a rising and ambitious ERV, and ARM's shares are mainly not in their hands, most of which are still in the hands of the founders.

Even if they help.

Can't force old friends to sell the company.

Others have different minds.

Intel representatives are cheerful.

They and ARM have been competing for the market, but in the field of mobile devices, they have almost been slammed by ARM. Now ERV has set foot in ARM, which is simply great, depending on you.

As for whether ERV will let ARM rise to the next level.

Intel doesn't care.

The X86 architecture and the ARM architecture are positioned differently. It is basically impossible for the two parties to rely on the existing architecture technology to break through this ‘division’, otherwise, there would be no current pattern.

"Chairman, we are very embarrassed at this point. After all, we are only small shareholders of ARM. It is impossible to force others to sell the company. Please understand." Apple's director said first.

ARM was at the beginning of its establishment.

Apple owns 39% of its shares, and later sold most of it. Now it is only a minority shareholder, but as one of the founding parties, it has always had a good relationship with ARM.

Apple's directors think.

The chairman is going to let them take the lead, of course he has to say something.

"Yes, this company is not our final say." Samsung's director said.

"Chairman, I think the success rate of acquiring ARM is very low, and it is likely to spend all the cash raised by ERV, which is not conducive to the progress of other projects." The director of Sequoia Capital continued.

"..."

The directors were bad news.

however.

The soldiers were unmoved.

"Please rest assured, you don't need to come forward, as long as you don't object to the board of directors, it is to help us. If the acquisition fails, it is a big deal to start a backup plan and follow the path of self-developed chip architecture."

Hearing that they don’t need to come forward to persuade them, the directors feel that the fighters are overconfident. Are they underestimating them? Sometimes people are so strange, afraid of being used by others, and also afraid of being deemed useless by others.

"This meeting ends here. Please also pay attention to the board of directors regulations. Our vice chairman will fly to the ARM headquarters in the afternoon to formally propose the acquisition. Do you have anything else?"

that's it.

The fighter strongly passed the board resolution.

This is the advantage of Absolute Holdings. At critical moments, you can do it your own way.

The directors looked at each other. They were all like this. What else could they say. Anyway, if they persuaded or refused to listen, then let the chairman to toss, even if they fail, there is nothing to lose.

If it succeeds.

It's a big deal to burn the funds for this financing.

There is sustained profit for "War of War".

Or take a loan from the bank.

How should ERV go and how to go.

. . .

The next day.

ERV officially announced its acquisition of ARM, and the media was in an uproar. It was only after the financing was completed that it began to spend money. It was still acquiring companies like ARM. The reporters were delighted and there was something to write about.

Most of them feel unreliable.

Or because of the hype before the listing of ERV, so ERV dominated the headlines for two more days.

but.

Two days later.

That is, on September 23rd ~www.novelmtl.com~, there are incredible eyes.

The founder of ARM held a board of directors.

Agreed to sell 41% of ARM’s shares in his hand. Instead of accepting cash, he would instead hold 3% of ERV’s shares. This part of the shares will be held by the chairman of ERV.

It's equivalent to saying that you got it without spending a penny.

But this is not over yet.

There is no absolute holding.

In the following week, ERV purchased a premium of 5% of the shares from several companies, so far, plus the acquisition by Tang Qing on the stock market and the sale by cousin Ayman.

Tang Qing has achieved absolute control over ARM.

And this kind of sorrowful operation.

Bright blinded too many people's eyes.
