"Not yet, I just took a shower. Feel free to sit down." Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Xia Shiyu nodded, without thinking much, walked to sit next to Jiang Chen.
At this time, she was wearing a simple business attire, and she exuded a faint fragrance of jasmine. Looking at her cheek through her hair, Jiang Chen's heart beat a little faster, but he quickly calmed down.
I found him so late, obviously because I wanted to discuss something important with him. It would be too rude to have some wrong thoughts at this time.
As if she smelled alcohol from Jiang Chen's breath, Xia Shiyu sniffed, frowned slightly, and asked casually when opening the document: "Have you been drinking?"
"Does it smell that bad?"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, covered his mouth and nose with his hands and let out a breath.
I did smell something, but it wasn't as strong as I expected.
Many people toasted to him at the party. Although he didn't drink strong liquor such as brandy or whiskey, champagne can be intoxicating if he drinks too much.
"It's nothing, it's just that there is an important meeting tomorrow. I suggest you drink less wine before going to bed." Xia Shiyu said.
"I've drank it all, I can't spit it out." Jiang Chen made a helpless expression, took the document from her hand, and looked at the places marked with a red pen, "What are these?"
"Some lists. All of them are relatively promising high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, and their scale is less than 10 million US dollars. Considering the company's future strategic needs, if we want to further develop the North American market, we must consider cooperating with local enterprises to cooperate.”
Jiang Chen took a cursory look at the list of names on the document.
It not only states the main business areas of each company, but also indicates the shareholding structure, operating conditions, assets held... Xia Shiyu has even given a clear valuation for the upper limit of the purchase price of each company.
It can be seen that she is very serious when doing these tasks.
"Thanks a lot."
"This is my job." Xia Shiyu replied as always, tucking her hair behind her ears, and then said, "The content of this SEF is very broad, but there are only three hot spots that need our attention. Smart healthcare, New materials, and cloud technology. Of course, this is just my opinion. If you have other ideas, we'd better communicate in advance."
"My thoughts are basically the same as yours." Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
In addition to the aerospace project, the next strategy of Futureman Group will basically develop in these three directions.
Needless to say new materials, of course graphene is the main one. Developing diversified graphene materials to cater to different market needs is also the current focus of the Materials Science Laboratory of Futureman Group. In addition to semiconductor graphene materials used in electronic devices, high-strength graphene has also been used to a certain extent in construction, ships and other fields.
The smart medical market is also quite large. Currently, the medical drones invested in Penglai City have made good progress. They can solve some problems through convenient functions such as body temperature measurement, saliva analysis, and iris detection using infrared sensing devices. Small viral colds and minor scratches and falls. For capitalist countries where you have to make an appointment with a doctor in advance to see a doctor, this is simply a convenient artifact!
Jiang Chen is even considering whether to install medical modules on home robots. After all, the size of the robot can carry more medical equipment, and for middle-class families, a personal doctor of about 20,000 US dollars is not unaffordable.
As for cloud technology, this is mainly related to the quantum computer of Futureman Group. Since acquiring the manufacturing technology of civilian-grade quantum computers, the factory in Block 6 has produced many quantum computers and was brought to Koro Island by Jiang Chen.
Now that the number of quantum computers held by the Future Man Group has far exceeded its own needs, it can use quantum satellites and cloud technology to sell information processing services to other companies that are far more cost-effective than supercomputing centers.
According to Xia Shiyu's proposal, Future Man Group can acquire several medium-sized companies on the West Coast of the United States, with business scope including smart medical, graphene, and information services related companies, and use American hands to do business with Americans. This is also for the purpose of Reduce federal vigilance.
After all, no country wants to see its domestic market share taken away by foreigners.
Especially national medical care and information security, these two issues are hyped up in every presidential election, which shows how much the federal government attaches importance to them.
The more they pay attention to it, the more wary they will be about outsiders interfering, so the Future Group needs to find smart enough partners at this SEF.
The list provided by Xia Shiyu has clearly stated the companies that are worth acquiring, and the valuations are all between 10,000 US dollars. It is more than enough to acquire them with the working capital of Future Man Group. Jiang Chen just browsed through it casually and nodded to the proposal.
The only trouble is whether the U.S. Department of Commerce will intervene.
Chinese companies have repeatedly encountered obstacles in the United States, and they are inseparable from this nasty organization. For example, Huawei's acquisition of a small American technology company was brutally terminated by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CI-FUS) on the grounds that "Huawei may have ties to the Chinese military."
Although New Zealand's threat to the United States is not as great as that of China, since the antitrust investigation, the U.S. Department of Commerce can be said to be an old enemy of the Future Man Group.
Jiang Chen's itinerary the next day was to visit Mr. Pritzker, who made a special trip from Washington to Los Angeles.
It can be said that his own opinion basically determines whether the Future Group's acquisition in SEF can proceed smoothly.
The next day, Jiang Chen met Mr. Pritzker in a hotel who was preparing for the SEF. This time, 500+ Chinese companies will participate in the Silicon Valley STIEF. Pritzker not only represents the U.S. Department of Commerce and the United States’ open and cooperative attitude, but also represents the White House in Washington, DC.
"Welcome, Mr. Jiang Chen, although the same words were already said at the airport." After seeing Jiang Chen, Pritzker greeted him with a smile and held Jiang Chen's extended hand, "How are you doing in Los Angeles? ? Are you still used to it?"
"Very satisfied, but a little less free." Jiang Chen teased.
"After all, for your safety, we have to be careful." After Pritzker invited Jiang Chen to sit down, he asked his assistant to go to the kitchen to make two cups of coffee. "I wonder what kind of wind brought you here?"
After hearing Pritzker's words, Jiang Chen didn't mince words, smiled slightly, took out a document from his briefcase, and placed it on the table.
“The organizer of SEFEF provided us with a document that included a list of companies participating in the exhibition and the main business of each company. Based on our own channels, we selected a group of potential companies from this list. company. You know what I mean, I plan to acquire it.”
Upon hearing this, Pritzker's eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, and he whispered in a meaningful tone.
"oh?"(.)
