#558-Chapter 558

"Buy in good faith?" Zhao Ziming smiled and shook his head when he heard the words.

If he has a choice, he is naturally unwilling to lose his heart. After all, he has to rely on local people for subsequent operations and management.

The problem is, he has no choice!

"What's wrong, is it difficult?" Xu Jinyu couldn't help asking.

She also just learned about the recent turmoil and was a little worried about men.

"It's very difficult." Zhao Ziming embraced the woman with a bunch of warm fragrant nephrite in his arms. The nerves that had been tense recently relaxed slightly.

Xu Jinyu blinked: "You tell me something."

Zhao Ziming thought for a moment: "The reasons are more complicated. There are my reasons as well as the external situation."

Although it is promoted by the media as "leading the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence", it also enjoys a high reputation on the international stage.

However, this reputation has not been transformed into resources to a large extent.

Compared with the old capitalists, Zhao Ziming is much worse in terms of personal connections and resource mobilization.

Not to mention, the "Wassenaar Agreement" is like a moat in front of you.

He didn't need to think about it, if he contacted ARM shareholders through an intermediary, he would be rejected 100%.

Everyone will subconsciously consider the risks and benefits. A Chinese company's multinational acquisition of sensitive technology will be a fantasy for everyone.

It is almost instinctive to refuse.

At that time, Zhao Ziming will really be in a difficult situation. Unless he gives up the acquisition, the situation is even worse than it is now.

However, the more you understand the chip, the less you can tolerate the current dilemma.

No matter from the status quo of the company or the long-term future, he cannot tolerate being controlled by others.

Not to mention, the SoftBank Group is eyeing it and its intentions are very obvious.

"There are competitors. We are not the only ones who are eyeing ARM," Zhao Ziming continued to explain.

Although Xu Jinyu is not proficient in business, as a lady, he should have a lot of training. He has vision and overall situation, and can understand what Zhao Ziming said.

Compared with Sun Zhengyi, Zhao Ziming is more than a bit worse and has no chance of winning.

This is not to say that there is a gap in personal assets, but that the other party has intertwined personal connections for decades.

In the eyes of ordinary Chinese, Sun Zhengyi's impression is probably the lucky one who invested in Ali, and obtained nearly 1,000 times the return on investment at a cost of 80 million US dollars.

However, the real situation is far more terrifying. As the most powerful deal maker in Silicon Valley, Sun Zhengyi can mobilize resources beyond imagination.

Zhao Ziming: "In short, SoftBank will not encounter obstacles from the United States in acquiring ARM. Although he and we belong to the same Asian country and a yellow race, in the eyes of white people, Sun Zhengyi is already his own."

Xu Jinyu suddenly realized and nodded.

Even if she doesn't know much about business, she knows what a terrible opponent Sun Zhengyi is.

SoftBank has invested in more than 600 companies around the world. This is not the kind of leather company that has a false name.

Each is strong or has great potential.Across the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, robotics, mobile applications and computing, telecommunications and communication infrastructure, biological intelligence, etc.

Among them, more than 300 are major IT companies in the world, and SoftBank holds a majority stake in them.

You can describe the SoftBank Group as a super giant.

In the first half of the year, Sun Zhengyi was even more ambitious and declared that he would invest 28 billion US dollars in equity to form a 100 billion US dollar venture capital fund.

It can be described as unprecedented.

Such a huge amount of capital, approximately equivalent to 4 Silver Lake Capital or 15 Sequoia Capital, will become the largest corporate venture capital fund in history.

Of course, he is not just talking, he has already started to act.

In the past week, SoftBank has cashed out nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars of Alibaba Group’s stock, which is equivalent to more than 58 billion yuan.

Combining the news that Zhao Ziming received, it is not difficult to guess what Sun Zhengyi thinks.

Under this circumstance, how could Zhao Ziming defeat Sun Zhengyi on the frontal battlefield and win the controlling stake in ARM?

"What should I do?" Xu Jinyu asked worriedly.

She wore a simple and elegant cheongsam today, with round buttocks and jade legs and a thin waist, which was so beautiful.

Zhao Ziming comforted: "Don't worry, I have a way."

Xu Jinyu relaxed, hugged the man's right arm, and the little bird wandered around Fenghe Road like a human.

Since the man said it was okay, it must be okay, her trust in Zhao Ziming almost reached the point of worship.

What to say, what to believe.

Since returning from India, the two have not had time to meet, Xu Jinyu couldn't help but missed her and took the initiative to come.

With pity in his heart, he deliberately pushed his work away and spared a day to accompany the beauties.

It is rare for Zhao Ziming to show a gentle side while being overbearing.

After all, when there are more women, there will be too many monks and porridge, and there will always be places that cannot be taken care of.

Xu Jinyu had no other requirements, and was satisfied to go shopping with Zhao Ziming.

Not to mention, enjoying the daily life of ordinary couples is also full of sweetness.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziming is relatively low-key. Although he has a great reputation, few photos have been circulated, and he uses artificial intelligence to constantly clean up and modify public photos and videos on the Internet.

It causes serious distortion between the image and the real person.

It is almost impossible to match him with a photo in reality without special training.

Even so, the two walking on the road also attracted countless passers-by to look back frequently.

Xu Jinyu not only has a good appearance, but also has a good figure. Against the background of the cheongsam, he needs to have curves and curves, and have a temperament. The thin areas are thin and the fleshy areas are fleshy.

There is a feeling of stepping out of the paintings, showing the virtuous, elegant, gentle, and clean temperament of Chinese women to the fullest, no wonder it will become the focus of attention.

"Then you have to pay attention to your body and don't get tired," Xu Jinyu said with concern.

Knowing that she can't help much, she tries her best not to cause trouble for her lover, and uses all means to please the man and resolve the troubles.

"Don't worry," Zhao Ziming gently squeezed the woman's buttocks while not paying attention, and answered with a smile.

Xu Jinyu was startled. In the crowd, she had no plans to stage a live erotica, so she gave the man a hard look.

The streets were full of people, and I don’t know how many people saw the scene just now. Xu Jinyu came back to her senses and quickly took her lover and turned into the cafe next to her.

Zhao Ziming didn't care, and after shopping for a long time, he could just take a rest.

The bodyguards scattered around quickly separated some people and followed them into the cafe.

The remaining people continued to be on guard outside.

Although Shanghai, as his base camp, under the supervision of the "Sky Eye" system, basically all potential dangers can be eliminated and all threat elements can be clearly understood.

However, some preparations still need to be done.

The bodyguard is by his side, enough to deal with all emergencies.

With so much social pressure, there are not a few lunatics who suddenly lose control, go mad, and want to kill.

"Shangdao Coffee", the space is not large, at a glance, the panoramic view is full.

The decoration style is unique and the environment is elegant.

The atmosphere in the cafe is not the usual quiet and whispering.But it's not noisy, giving people a very relaxed feeling.

The two found a corner, casually ordered some snacks and coffee, and put them on the table without tasting, but slowly enjoying the warm moment.

The interior space is well designed and well-lit.

Xu Jinyu was half nestled in the arms of the man, and there was a scent of fragrance. Zhao Ziming was in a daze and experienced a long-lost relaxation.

Thinking about it carefully, how long has he not rested?

One month, two months, or half a year?

Relying on abundant energy and strong physique, he chased between career and beauty all day long, overcoming difficulties one after another, achieving one after another, and conquering one woman after another.

Tireless and never stop.

Zhao Ziming always thinks that he likes this kind of enrichment, this kind of dedication.

Unable to bear the wasting time and idleness.

However, at this moment, in this ordinary coffee shop, in this ordinary afternoon, Zhao Ziming suddenly realized that it is not unacceptable to sit here and "waste" the day.

"What are you thinking?" Xu Jinyu's long eyelashes blinked, exhaling blue in the man's ear.

"It's great," Zhao Ziming hugged her waist tightly, and answered the wrong question.

However, Xu Jinyu understood what he meant at once, smiled sweetly, and quietly leaned in the arms of her lover without talking.

"Do you think Zhao Ziming can succeed in this acquisition?"

Several men and women in the front seat were chatting, their voices floated, but the topic suddenly caught Xu Jinyu's attention.

"How can it be successful," a young man in a suit and leather shoes took over: "Even if there is no US government blocking, hostile takeovers are very unpopular in the high-tech industry."

Xu Jinyu smiled at her lover and lipped, "They are discussing you."

Zhao Ziming shook his heart and grabbed the woman's hand. He did not expect that the impact of the merger case would be so huge that it had begun to spread to ordinary people.

The handsome men and women in front of them, in suits and leather shoes, looked like practitioners in the financial industry, all of them were full of energy and energy.

"Guo Ming, you can't just talk and ignore the reality just because Arlene admires Zhao Ziming," the short-haired woman sitting next to the man retorted.

Guo Ming didn't angrily replied, "What nonsense, I'm just talking about it."

Woman with short hair: "Cut, I don't know you yet."

Guo Ming shook his head, seemingly disdain to answer such a mentally handicapped question.

The short-haired woman rolled her eyes and asked the man who had first spoken: "Zhang Kai, what do you say."

Zhang Kai raised his eyebrows: "My opinion is the same as Amin."

The short-haired woman was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Zhang Kai would not be provoked, but would even agree with the views of his rivals. No wonder that he was defeated when competing with Guo Ming for Arlene.

Guo Ming smiled triumphantly: "Xiao Fei, in the prevailing words, you are a stubborn fan, and you have lost your basic judgment."

Zhang Kai echoed: "Yes, you women..."

Xiao Fei, a woman with short hair, was speechless, and was struck by two colleagues. It was difficult for her to resist.

Zhao Ziming listened with gusto for a while, and he could meet such an interesting person in any place.

I can hear that the relationship between several people is very good, and they don’t care about anything during the conversation.

Xu Jinyu joked in the man's ear: "Another fan."

Zhao Ziming looked at her charming and dazzling appearance, and couldn't help but move his index finger. If it wasn't for the occasion, he would have to feast on it.

A long-haired woman sitting next to Xiao Fei said, "Fei Fei, why do you believe that Zhao Ziming's acquisition can be successful?"

Feifei fell silent and answered:

"What you said, I know, it’s just that the Zhao Ziming in my impression is not a arrogant person who has been dazzled by victory. He chose ARM as the target for the acquisition. It is certainly not an impulse. We can see the difficulties. As a great entrepreneur, he has no reason not to see it.

Like many things that seemed impossible to achieve, they succeeded in the end. Perhaps, some things were not done because they were difficult, but because they didn’t do it, they seemed so difficult. Zhao Ziming’s walk along this path has been proved by actions. Is there any dream that I dare not think about or do?!I believe that the final outcome will definitely surprise everyone."

Guo Ming looked at Xiao Fei's concentrated expression and resisted the desire to complain.

Once a woman is fascinated by her mind, her IQ has been reduced by 90%. Xiao Fei is an obvious example.

Disregard the facts and your logic, and do things only by feeling.

"Is there anything that Zhao Ziming can't think of or is not easy to do", then you can let him become a god and show me.

Really mentally handicapped fans have a wide range of ideas, and mentally handicapped children have a lot of fun!

Zhao Ziming couldn't help feeling shocked when he heard Xiao Fei's words. He really didn't expect that someone would understand him this way and believe him.

There are countless words of praise and flattery that he usually hears, but he doesn't even know how many of them are sincere.

Some people hinder his power and wealth and cater to him, and some people deliberately kill him with false feelings.

I believe he will definitely succeed in the acquisition, and he is not a minority in the company.

However, these are all blind trusts, because Zhao Ziming's previous series of brilliant achievements made people subconsciously believe that no matter what he did, he would eventually succeed.

Xiao Fei's unpretentious remarks from a short-haired woman completely moved him.

No acquaintance, nothing great.So firmly believed that what he did was not arrogant, greedy and arrogant, but fearless of any difficulties.

The more it is, the more pure it is.

"Feifei, what you said is too exaggerated", Zhang Kai sneered.

"I can give you countless examples to prove that even great men make mistakes, not to mention that Zhao Ziming is just a lucky guy. You may not know that the boyfriend of one of my classmates’ cousins ​​is his high school classmate. According to him, Zhao Ziming had average grades and average sports in high school. There is nothing worth talking about. If this person is not lucky, how can he explain his current success."

Feifei smiled: "Isn't this just showing that people have accumulated a lot of money"

Zhao Ziming was also stunned, and he could explain it this way.
