Huang Xuan's outspokenness made Ellison a little embarrassed, but after all, he was about to become a man. He rubbed his eyebrows, laughed, and said, "Mr. Huang can indeed see clearly, haha."
Classmate Xiao Huang just smiled and said nothing. People who didn't pay attention would have thought that he was a child of an aristocratic family who was learning social etiquette.
Ellison glanced at Tao Youlin and said with a smile: "This is my partner. Let him tell you the specific content."
During the years of the "Merger and Acquisition Boom", Oracle acquired several companies with assets of over US$1 billion, as well as countless small and medium-sized enterprises. In the end, only a few people stayed in Oracle.
Tao Youlin confidently took out a planning document from his bag and handed it to Huang Xuandao: "We have modified it according to your previous proposal. Since your password program currently belongs to Xinye Company, but the patented technology belongs to you, So, our idea is to acquire Xinye Company and spin off the cryptographic business to form a new division. Of course, the new database will be merged into Oracle’s core business.”
Huang Xuan said "oh" noncommittally.
Tao Youlin was not anxious. He continued: "The acquisition price for Xinye Company is 80 million U.S. dollars. It will be integrated into Oracle's China branch. In addition, we can use another 100 million U.S. dollars to acquire your cryptographic patents." , using $450 million to acquire your database patents.”
After a quick calculation, Lorraine said: "This is the cost of Oracle developing similar technology itself."
Huang Xuan understood, so he put down his wine glass and said to the two of them: "Even if you develop similar technology yourself, without considering the trouble of bypassing patents, the investment in R&D alone should be this much." He smiled like a bird. The frog who caught the fly asked again: "How long will it take for Oracle to develop a similar program? How long will it take to make it into salable software? If I sell these things to Microsoft, how much will it cost you and how long will it take?" How long does it take to regain the market? What if we can never regain it?”
After a series of questions, Ellison was unable to answer. Huang Xuan then said with a smile on his face: "I don't want all the profits here, but giving me half of it is not greedy."
Tao Youlin glanced at Ellison, closed the planning book, and insisted: "Mr. Huang, 800 million U.S. dollars, plus your shares in Xinye, this is already a lot of money."
"Plus my connections in China." Huang Xuan kept smiling, but it made Ellison feel bad.
Oracle's acquisition of Xinye Company was not so much for the encryption program as it was to open up the Chinese market. Just like Yu Liye chose Huang Xuan as an ally, Ellison obviously also took a fancy to the power of the Huang family. If not, just the password No. 3 in Huang Xuan's hand would be enough in a short time.
Huang Xuan doesn't mind selling political resources to Oracle, but the key is that they can't be sold cheaply.
Ellison finally laughed, patted Tao Youlin on the shoulder, and said to Huang Xuan: "What's your price?"
"Xinye Company is worth 150 million U.S. dollars. It is a listed company and is also of great use to you. The patents for the three passwords are priced at 800 million U.S. dollars. The completed database is worth 100 million U.S. dollars. Adding all the patents involved, the price is 100 million U.S. dollars. , a total of 450 million U.S. dollars." Huang Xuan directly doubled the price.
In terms of business mergers and acquisitions, Oracle is far more generous than Microsoft. The latter often likes to start a new one, while the former often likes to acquire mature technologies. This may also be related to the different markets faced by the two companies. Therefore, 450 million is completely within the acceptable range of Oracle-in the past five years, they have spent at least 50 billion US dollars on acquiring other companies.
Ellison and Tao Youlin looked at each other and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Huang, Oracle's assets are indeed rich, but they are not enough to come up with so much cash."
This can be understood as the English version of the landlord's family having no surplus grain. In fact, Huang Xuan didn't want cash at all. He squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "Then give him stocks."
Ellison reacted very quickly, glanced towards the banking group, patted his forehead and said, "You wouldn't have thought of it earlier, would you?"
Huang Xuan was also quite proud. He smiled and said, "Let's do it step by step."
This smile made Ellison, who was originally preparing to bargain, feel happy. He stretched out his right hand to shake Huang Xuan's hand and said, "OK."
He obviously discussed it with the board of directors, and the price was above the bottom line, or maybe he wanted to put a bet on Huang Xuan.
Unlike those superficial businessmen, Ellison did not ask for more commitments. He simply said: "For $450 million in Oracle stock, let's sign a letter of intent first."
Huang Xuan glanced at it casually and signed his name. Lorraine would take care of legal issues for him. But in Ellison's view, this trusting attitude was admirable. While signing his name, he said in a solemn tone: "Mr. Huang is a real businessman."
"Chinese businessmen all pay attention to shaking hands to seal the deal." Huang Xuan briefly promoted China and put the pen back in his pocket.
After hearing this, Ellison formally shook hands with Huang Xuan again and said: "Deal."
"make a deal."
The three of them laughed heartily. Ellison pointed at Tao Youlin with a cheerful face and said: "Mr. Tao will serve as Oracle's negotiator and the future president of Greater China. I hope everyone can have a happy cooperation."
Huang Xuan glanced at Tao Youlin and admired a little. The company's technical director should be half a level higher than the regional president. What's more, the China region is still under development. People who can make such a decision can be regarded as a miracle in the workplace.
After the business was settled, Ellison became playful and grimaced, saying: "I wish you success in the subsequent negotiations." Looking at him now, he was in a very good mood.
Huang Xuan smiled and cupped his hands, turned around and walked towards the bankers. They also stopped their discussion and waited for Huang Xuan to come over.
Putting the just-signed intention contract on the dining table, Huang Xuan said with a smile on his face: "For 450 million U.S. dollars of Oracle stock, plus 1.5 billion U.S. dollars of assets, I am applying for a 10 billion U.S. dollar joint loan from you, isn't it too much? ?”
Almost 50% of the mortgage is almost enough for a loan of hundreds of millions of dollars. Everyone present is a little uneasy. The biggest profit point is gone. Everyone is a little uncomfortable, but it is not because of this. The loan was obviously a bit of a joke again, and for a moment, everyone suddenly lost their voice.
Huang Xuan did not rush them. The giants of financial capital were very tight, but they were also weak. They were the most fearful of risks and the most profit-seeking group of people in the world. In short, they were a group of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. The flies will come when they smell the smell of meat, run away when startled, and then come again immediately, and they will never remember it.
To deal with such a master, you can only lure him with benefits, and the rest is nonsense.
Xie Hao stood in a dimly lit corner, watching Huang Xuan walking among businessmen who were twice his age. His words were cautious and orderly, his goals clear and his methods effective. He was really shocked. In his memory, he could The man who did it so perfectly was named Hussein V ibn V Talal.
Huang Xuan also saw Xie Hao. He was still worried about the treasure map, so he left the bank group and walked over. He chuckled twice and said, "Mr. Muhammad, is our agreement still valid?"
Muhammad breathed a long sigh of relief and said in an emphatic tone: "It's impressive."
This was already a considerable level of praise. Xie Hao waved over two servants and handed him the documents he had prepared long ago, saying: "4 billion U.S. dollars, 4.5% interest per year, annual term."
Huang Xuan took it in his hand without looking at it, shook hands with Xie Hao, and said, "If you have a chance to come to China, I'll treat you to Longjing and barbecue."
"Okay, I will definitely bring the best horse to compete with you." Muhammad couldn't tell how old he was now.
…
When the gentlemen of the banking group saw the loan from Xie Hao, several of them looked a little dizzy. Even Rubin looked in disbelief. This former finance minister was known for his decisive style. , signed the name with almost trembling hands, and raised 14 billion US dollars overnight. For bankers, it is the greatest incredible thing in the world.
Without realizing it, Huang Xuan was chatting with New York State Representative Pamela, a white woman over 40 years old. She liked to use large gestures when speaking, so she could easily get to the point of the issue. Graduated from Georgetown University, worked as a lawyer for 10 years, and is heading towards the Senate seat. She is very concerned about the China issue. In fact, if she wants to be firmly seated in the Senate, she must be good at at least some aspects of economic content, and the China issue is one of them.
The banquet ended at about 11 o'clock in the evening. Most people had to rush back. For the few who would stay, Xie Hao arranged their accommodation. Huang Xuan had already booked a flight to Israel in the evening, so he and Rubin and Klimai North, Bunker, Aubrey, and Pamela walked out together.
Clemenos talked about his management talents again. Huang Xuan promised to interview them in two days. As for the joint loans, they are actually still placed in their respective banks. Even if a formal agreement is signed, when Huang Xuan uses them When applying for this amount, you still have to apply to the bank. This is also the practice for large loans to minimize the bank's risk.
Xie Hao sent everyone out. He knew that Huang Xuan did not rent a car, so he smiled and said: "Huang Xuan, take my plane and leave."
Huang Xuan couldn't say that he was going to Israel, so he declined politely. As he was talking, he saw a group of people rushing out of the car.
"FBI." This time Clay learned the lesson and took out his ID as soon as he got out of the car.
Rubin's expression suddenly changed.
He is the one who checked Huang Xuan's file. It seems that this Chinese may indeed have done some irregular transactions, but he has no criminal record in the United States - offending the FBI is another matter, but it is precisely because of this that Rubin was outraged.
0 minutes ago, he just signed an agreement of intent with Huang, and now, the FBI is trying to arrest this young man. Doesn't this mean that he is signing an agreement with a criminal
Calvin stood a little further away. According to the FBI, his position was to assist and support. He was indeed willing to do a small favor for his colleagues and prove in front of countless big shots that this Chinese was a shameful liar. Then, he would be a shameful liar in the United States. Nothing can be done.
However, he didn't know what happened at the banquet just now.
Even the FBI would not dare to easily place a bug in such an occasion, so when Bruce pointed the gun at Huang Xuan, the other party was standing among the most prominent people in the venue—or among the most prominent people in the entire United States.
Even the owner of the White House will not try to offend local legislators and Arab sheikhs while offending Citigroup One.
But that's what FBI agents did. (To be continued)
