Age of Dreams

Wang Hong's face changed, and then she quickly laughed, "Qi Shao, HTC is HTC, and Microsoft is Microsoft. If we can pay for it, I think it's better for us to do it ourselves."

Microsoft has been asking for an increase in HTC's shares during this time, but Wang Hong insists on refusing, because if more is given, then HTC will gradually be eaten away by Microsoft and become an American company.

If according to what Xiao Qi said, Microsoft provided the technical patents for exchange, then they must have the right to request that this part of the technical patents be converted into equity, and then they will increase the shares again.

"If that's the case, let's put it on hold for now." Xiao Qi nodded, "The Fairy Company has its rules, and I can't change it too much."

Wang Hong and Cheng Wen glanced at each other, and both could see the loss in each other's hearts.

They know the rules of Fairy Company, and they also know that the two companies are competitors, but they also hope that Xiao Qi can give HTC some help for the sake of our family.

However, Xiao Qi's refusal was so resolute, they couldn't find any good way to persuade him for a while.

But Wang Hong is not an ordinary person after all. Although the purchase request was rejected, she smiled and chatted about other things instead, as if the embarrassment just now did not exist.

Yin Ziling, who was eavesdropping by eating vegetables, felt a burst of emotion.

First of all, I feel that Wang Hong is indeed a hero in the female middle school, able to bend and stretch. Although it is not easy to negotiate business, she has not lost her sense of proportion.

Then he sighed that Xiao Qi is really majestic, the mighty arrogance of the world's richest man is fully displayed, such a big business of 3 billion US dollars, he actually refuses to do it, he doesn't take this huge sum of money seriously at all.

Pity myself for working hard for more than ten years, and my current family property is only more than 30 million US dollars, which is almost only one percent of this huge sum of money.

Compared to Yin Ziling, Ling Shuangshuang didn't care what Xiao Qi and the others were talking about.

She has never had any talent for doing business, and she doesn't care too much, if Xiao Qi hadn't found a professional manager for her. With the help of Wang Shuang and the help of Guo Taiming and Wang Hong, it is impossible for the Ling's Fund to flourish like it is today.

Wang Hong didn't talk about the patent purchase anymore, but Cheng Wen next to her couldn't sit still. Several times I wanted to talk about things here again, but my wife stopped me with a wink.

Wang Hong knew very well that since Xiao Qi refused so simply, it proved that he had thought about such a thing, if HTC didn't have a better bargaining chip. It is difficult to buy the technology you want with money.

Think about it too.

Although Fairy Company has sold many patents, most of them are low-end technologies. When it comes to high-end technologies, other companies need to exchange their own high-end technologies.

It is also through such exchanges that Xiannv Company has increasingly gained a leading position in the smart electronics industry.

Of course, Fairy Company's tens of thousands of technicians are also one of the foundations that made them strong today.

Now that HTC is asking Fairy Company, Xiao Qi will certainly not be cheap for HTC, equal technology exchange is a normal requirement.

Besides, Fairy Company is like this for any company, not just for HTC. So Wang Hong was not very angry.

What she is now thinking about is how to obtain the patent of Fairy Company through other methods.

Because if HTC wants to go further, it must have technological breakthroughs, including battery, touch screen, display, camera correction, etc., there is a lot of room for improvement.

I didn't think before that when the engineers of HTC and Microsoft worked day and night to develop hundreds of mobile phones, but they couldn't succeed in the technical breakthrough, they knew the success of Fairy Company, Apple Company and even Samsung Company. How difficult it is.

If not there is no way. Wang Hong is definitely not willing to beg Xiao Qi so humbly. 3 billion US dollars is not much in Xiao Qi's eyes, but it is a lot for HTC.

Now that HTC cannot provide the technology Xiao Qi needs, she is willing to make some other exchanges. Anyway, Fairy Company is so big, there are always projects that can be cooperated with HTC.

On the other hand, Xiao Qi is also very satisfied with Wang Hong's demeanor. This woman was born in Wang's family, the god of treasure island management, but she didn't become a playboy, but relied on her own ability. Step by step to where we are today.

Although HTC finally fell due to various reasons in the previous life, there are also many factors in it, which cannot deny Wang Hong's efforts and brilliant achievements.

No matter what the reason is, she can be called an outstanding rich second generation, and she is much stronger than Li Dachao.

Even if HTC was short-sighted in the previous life and was not so friendly with mainland companies, as Wang Hong said, everyone is from Huaguo. In the smart electronics industry, there are more companies from Huaguo, and they have more voice Some, is always a good thing.

What's more, in this life, because of Xiao Qi, HTC has already paid enough attention to the mainland market, and its ties with mainland companies have become much closer. Even with them, they have become one of the companies close to the mainland in Baodao. It's a very good team.

After thinking about it, Xiao Qi decided to give her some benefits on the other hand, while increasing HTC's own strength, he didn't have to worry about bringing too much threat to Fairy Company.

Anyway, if HTC goes to compete with LG, SONY, Nokia and Motorola for the market, it will be a good thing.

"Director Wang, I heard that you are negotiating with Beats Electronics in the United States to acquire shares, right?" Xiao Qi asked Wang Hong.

Wang Hong hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Her answer was a little dry, because Wang Hong didn't know why Xiao Qi asked this matter.

Beats Electronics is the magic sound electronics company in the United States. They have two most prominent places. The first is the magic sound headphones, which are known as one of the best headphones in the world. The second is their online music streaming service, which is online paid download and on-demand music services.

Now the first headphone business of Beats Electronics is developing like a raging fire, with excellent performance, and the second online music streaming service is also developing vigorously.

HTC took a fancy to Beats Electronics because of the second project.

They watched Apple's ITUNES music site make a fortune. It can also increase users' stickiness to Apple mobile phones, IODs, and IPADs, so they will naturally be excited.

There's not much they can do about the App Store, which is Microsoft's home after all, but about online music streaming. They can learn it.

So HTC wants to buy Beats Electronics, so that many Beats Electronics users can become HTC users.

This matter was done relatively secretly, and it was not announced to the outside world. It is even in the contact stage, and no actual quotation is involved. Wang Hong didn't even know how Xiao Qi knew about it.

If she didn't know that Xiao Qi had APPSTORE, Wang Hong would have thought that Xiao Qi wanted to be the first to grab Beats Electronics.

"How is your negotiation going? Has the price been set?" Xiao Qi asked.

Wang Hong was a little embarrassed by Xiao Qi's nonsensical remarks, but after thinking about it, she decided to answer truthfully, "There has been a lot of progress, but there are some differences in the price. They want a valuation of 400 million US dollars, and we HTC will give it to you." Their valuation is only $250 million."

"Apart from the price issue, are they insisting on tough buy-back terms?"

"..."

Not only was Wang Hong taken aback, Cheng Wen hadn't spoken for a while, and couldn't help but stare at Xiao Qi dumbfounded.

Is there a traitor in HTC?

Otherwise, how could Xiao Qi know so clearly?

It shouldn't be. Those who follow my husband and wife to negotiate are all old people who have been in the company since the beginning of the business. They also have shares in HTC. It is impossible to rely on Xiao Qi!

Of course Xiao Qi would not say that he only knew about it after seeing the news from later generations.

He smiled faintly, "As your friends, I suggest you get Beats Electronics as soon as possible, regardless of the price. But this buyback clause will be cancelled, so it doesn't matter if you pay more!"

"Qi Shao. Why?" Cheng Wen couldn't help asking.

"Because Beats Electronics has great potential for future development." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Five years from now, I am optimistic that it will have a valuation of more than US$3 billion."

3 billion dollars! ?

The couple gasped.

No matter how optimistic they were about Beats Electronics, they never thought there would be so much money!

But Xiao Qi's investment vision. But it is recognized as first-class all over the world, and it is basically impossible to misread it.

"Qi Shao, why did you remind us so?" Wang Hong asked solemnly, "Don't you want such a good company?"

"First, I have already purchased the Swedish company Sonic. It is similar to Beats Electronics, and has better development potential." Xiao Qi said, "Second, I am very grateful to the two for taking care of Shuangshuang. In the future, when she lives in Baodao, she also needs good friends to help her. I know the two of you will not let me down."

Wang Hong and Cheng Wen suddenly realized after hearing the words.

Although the first reason is the main reason, the relationship with Ling Shuangshuang is undeniably an important reason for Xiao Qi to give them a hand.

For Xiao Qi, this is just a little effort, but for HTC, it is very valuable news!

No one in the company can see that Beats Electronics has such great development potential, and it is far from enough!

Now that Xiao Qi has said that it will be worth 3 billion US dollars, then we must work harder to negotiate and hold it firmly in our hands, HTC will have another magic weapon to win!

HTC's foundation is not deep. If it can develop in many aspects, it will be an excellent supplement and development for the business development of the entire group!

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Qi Shao, Shuangshuang, come, our husband and wife toast you." Wang Hong and Cheng Wen stood up and said respectfully.

Xiao Qi and Ling Shuangshuang also stood up, clinked glasses with them and sat down.

"Please don't worry, Young Master Qi, Shuangshuang is just like my sister, with me, Wang Hong, no one can bully her!" After drinking a glass of red wine, Wang Hong promised Xiao Qi like this.

Sister Zhiling next to her looked envious.

She really wanted to be treated like this! (~^~)
