Digital Kingdom

As soon as the announcement of the Digital Group came out, the entire market began to revel.

Both sides of the war, if every step of the other side can be detected, they will be invincible.

This situation allowed more hedge funds to rush in and short ARM.

Even if the British government makes a statement, it cannot stop short-term greed.

The new British Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond said:

The British government welcomes all legal and compliant commercial transactions.Digital Group's acquisition of ARM may be the largest investment in the UK from Asia.This investment is likely to double the number of jobs created by ARM in the UK in the next 5 years, turning this British company into a global phenomenon.And during the referendum (on the 24th local time, the British referendum on the Brexit camp won more than half of the 16.8 million votes), the digital group began to acquire ARM has proved that the United Kingdom has not lost its appeal to international investors.

It can be said that the focus of the long-short battle at this moment has shifted from "whether the government approves" to "market duel."

With all eyes on it, it is almost impossible for the digital group to acquire a company in the open market, and the stock price premium can make them unbearable.

Tomson first product, Wu Mansion,

Wu Xuan got up from the ground, took the towel in his hand and wiped his hands, and smiled bitterly at Song Honglin.

"The little princess is too naughty, she must ride a horse."

As Wu Xuan's confidant, Song Honglin naturally saw more of this scene, and smiled slightly: "The child has been clinging to others for the past few years. I must cherish it. My boss does not care about me now."

"It's hard for Zhao Ziming to ride a tiger now", Wu Xuan was a little gloat when talking about business.

"Now it's a bit of a posture that everyone pushes against the wall," Song Honglin took over. "Who would have thought that the British government would speak out. It's useless."

The statement of British Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip did not have much impact on the market.

"It's unlucky for him to be stared at by these giant crocodiles." Wu Xuan motioned Song Honglin to sit down and talk.

Let alone a company, these international hedge funds have become fierce, and even sovereign countries dare to harden steel.

"Should we..." Song Honglin meant something.

Wu Xuan thought about it, "Forget it, we just need to watch the show next to him."

Naturally, he didn't hold back because of what Zhao Ziming did to benefit the country and the people, but because it was a bit late to enter the venue now, following the predators, eating some leftovers, and Wu Xuan looked down upon him.

"Who did Zhao Ziming pass to meet the British government?" Wu Xuan asked.

Song Honglin: "Mr. Li, the richest Chinese man, I heard that he paid a lot of money, but no one knows the specific details except the person involved."

"This doesn't care about the exchange of benefits," Wu Xuan is not interested in the insider. "But the British government stated that there is hope for success?"

Song Honglin shook his head:

"Philip is talking about legality and compliance, and the article in it is huge. Now the entire British society is tumbling over the referendum, which has caused a huge tear. I guess they have the mind to divert their attention."

Wu Xuan: "In other words, the British government will not stop this transaction in a short time?"

Song Honglin nodded.

Wu Xuan picked up his tea cup and took a sip, "Zhao Ziming picked a good time. The American election, the British referendum, the world is in chaos, and the situation is very good."

Song Honglin: "If you want a snake to swallow an elephant, it is almost impossible without the right time and place.

Wu Xuan motioned him to continue. The two were busy preparing for Magic Technology and had not exchanged information about the merger. Song Honglin has been running around, and today is the first meeting in two months.

Song Honglin sorted out his thoughts: "Zhao Ziming chose to target ARM at this moment. It is also based on his own considerations. Judging from the series of actions of Magic Leap, his ambition is not only in the field of software. I heard that he has already started preparing for domestic in Shanghai. The largest chip foundry."

Wu Xuan: "Yes, the address has been prospected."

Song Honglin: "It's not difficult to understand why he would spend huge sums of money to raid ARM. For ARM, the current stage is in a low period and it is not that there is no possibility of packaging and selling.

Wu Xuan was a little surprised, ARM shareholders actually have the intention of making a move?!

Song Honglin: "ARM's revenue in 2015 was 1.489 billion U.S. dollars. If this is the profit of a general company, of course it is very good. But this is ARM, a company at the top of the food chain. This money comes in a strict sense. Speaking, it is not enough to support him in the next round of the arms race."

Wu Xuan: "Its opponent..."

Song Honglin: "It's Intel, which was beaten up in the mobile field, and Qualcomm, which is eye-catching. I collected data from Intel. The revenue in 2015 was 51.69 billion U.S. dollars. Compared with ARM, this is the Titanic and small Comparison of sampans."

Whenever he heard about the revenues and profits of foreign giants, Wu Xuan was a little confused. What is a country that is rich and enemy is rich.

Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook...,

These giants truly surpass the country.

Song Honglin: "If the mobile field has been developing at a high speed, ARM still has no fear. After all, ARM's position in the field of mobile phones and tablets can not be shaken by Intel using billions of dollars in subsidies.

"But when mobile growth is weak and the Internet of Things rises, the dragon has awakened. Earlier this year, Intel confirmed that it would cut off most of the mobile product line and put its energy in the field of Internet of Things, using (edison) Edison, (currry) ) Madame Curie chip to conquer the Internet of Things market.

"Relying on its leading manufacturing process and strong influence, Intel's future prospects are still optimistic. Under this circumstance, it is not difficult for ARM to retreat."

After listening to Song Honglin's introduction, Wu Xuan had a general understanding of the matter. Presumably, Zhao Ziming had already considered more clearly, and he was not randomly selecting objects.

Song Honglin: "At the time, as I said just now, the British society has formed a huge tear. There is no time for the US election. The timing is just right, people are harmonious, not to mention. Although there is a lot of public opinion outside, the digital group has never It’s conceivable to speak up and have a consistent fighting spirit."

Wu Xuan: "Speaking of it, I really admire Zhao Ziming's courage and ability. I heard that this acquisition of ARM is his will. The seven members of the digital group board of directors, except Shen Yiyi and Wang Tianbao, everyone else voted against ,"

He knows that mergers and acquisitions will take a lot in the morning. After all, Zhao Ziming's tens of billions of dollars of bridge funds were dismantled from major companies. It is no secret to him.

Of course, I know that Gui knows that at that moment, he will not do anything against himself.

Song Honglin smiled and did not answer the conversation. He naturally knew that the boss was just talking, and it was not taste for him to refute or cater.In this case, you can only shut up.
