Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 2481 What are you going to do?
"Forgive me for being blunt, Mr. Chen, you can't leave the country now, how can you cooperate with us?"

Steve Qiao took a sip of coffee and his eyes involuntarily drifted towards Chen Jianghai.

"First of all, it is not a cooperation between us, but an acquisition."

Chen Jianghai named the topic lightly, and Steve Qiao suddenly became a little nervous.

He didn't expect that Chen Jianghai would be so sharp as soon as he exported. He still couldn't let go of this company. After all, this had been his hard work since the beginning of his business.

"Secondly, although I can't leave the country now, what does this have to do with my two companies? I can still direct their operations, and even if I leave, they will operate independently."

Chen Jianghai said with a smile, staring at Steve Qiao with bright eyes.

"Mr. Chen, why do you think you will be able to acquire our company?"

Steve Joe asked quickly.

"You should be aware of the current market situation of the US stock market. The Nasdaq index has plummeted, a technology bubble has formed, and your Exped company is already facing a big crisis."

"If I'm not wrong, your company's board of directors has started to take some measures against you. You should be very distressed now."

Chen Jianghai didn't let Steve Qiao play tricks and directly began to analyze his current situation.

"In the current situation of the formation of the technology bubble, Expedia has suffered heavy losses. You no longer have enough financial resources to support your development. I believe the board of directors of Expedia has begun to discuss how to sell the company. If the losses are even heavier, Before, they needed to cash out and leave.”

"Now I am the only one who has given the highest price. I believe you are not tempted, but the members of the board of directors will be."

"If I get the equity from them, wouldn't I also acquire your company in disguise?"

After hearing these words, Steve Joe clenched his fists.

In fact, he and the board of directors have always had some differences, and everyone's development concepts are fundamentally inconsistent, so Steve Joe's current situation is also relatively dangerous.

Many on the board disapproved of Steve Joe.

When faced with being acquired, if many members of the board of directors make the decision to agree to the acquisition, Steve Joe will be kicked out again.

He will have nothing by then.

This is also something Steve Joe is more worried about.

"But I didn't do that. Our Qiuhai Group has always respected talents. Mr. Steve, you are a talented person with dreams and strength. That's why we will negotiate with you through formal channels. We hope that we can Acquire your company in a more peaceful way."

"Of course, after acquiring your company, you can still serve as the president of this company. We will not restrict your ideas, let alone the development of Expedia."

Chen Jianghai said softly, these words made Steve Qiao feel a little moved.

As Chen Jianghai said, if he really wants to attack Expedia, then he has countless ways to deal with the company, and even Steve Qiao, who is the president and a member of the board of directors, cannot interfere.

Steve Joe is not selling the company, but others will choose to exit quickly under the current situation.

As long as the money is provided, what can't they sell?
The method used by Expedia's board of directors to cash out will allow Chen Jianghai to obtain enough equity from them and have the decisive vote.

"What will you do if you acquire our company?"

Steve Qiao sat slumped in his chair, looking slightly helpless. Faced with Chen Jianghai's words, what else could he do to resist?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he really has no means of resistance.

The reason why he was able to hold on in front of Chen Jianghai so calmly was because he still had the last obsession in his heart.He is a man with a dream, and he hopes to make the products he develops available to the world.

At present, what they are mainly doing is Expedition Computer. Previously, Steve Joe wanted to open their Appointed Computer stores in various places in Laomi. Unfortunately, the financial crisis hit and technology stocks plummeted. Steve's idea made Appointed Computer The German company suffered heavy losses.

Now faced with Chen Jianghai's door-to-door acquisition plan, there was actually nothing he could do.

Now he just wants to know how far Chen Jianghai can take this company after acquiring it.

"If you want to ask this, then I can tell you."

Chen Jianghai said with a smile.

"According to my investigation, the PCs currently produced by Expedia are all equipped with the Expedia operating system designed and developed by you, right?"

"This system is currently the two mainstream systems on the computer side, one is from Microsoft and the other is from you."

Chen Jianghai talked about the operating system, and Steve Qiao was somewhat impressed by Chen Jianghai.

Being able to understand Apada Company to this extent shows that Chen Jianghai has worked hard.

"First of all, we will not terminate your research. Microsoft also took a stake in your company before. Their purpose is to make you give up developing systems and switch to using their systems, right?"

Chen Jianghai said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you are right. Microsoft just wants to control our Expedia company, that's why they took a stake, and I quickly reversed the matter."

Steve Joe said seriously.

Microsoft is now Bill Guy's company, and they are among the top leaders in the computer field.

However, this time the Nasdaq Index of US stocks plunged from a high level, and the stock market shut down several times.

These things have also brought certain troubles to Microsoft.

"I am different from Microsoft. What they want is control and dominance, but I am willing to let you play freely. Whether your system is used on the PC or elsewhere, these are nothing. Big problem."

"I am willing to give you sufficient authority, but the only requirement is that this system must be further developed, and all patent rights should belong to our Qiuhai Group."

Chen Jianghai also became serious. This request made Steve Qiao hesitate for a long time.

He remained silent and did not agree to Chen Jianghai's request. After all, the Exped system he developed was his biggest effort at this stage. If even the patent rights were given to Chen Jianghai, wouldn't he have nothing?

Speaking of which, isn't this essentially the same as Microsoft's approach?
"I know what you are worried about, and you even scold me in your heart for being in the same den as Microsoft."

"But if I acquire Expedia, what I can ensure is the operating system project, and I will let you continue to work on it."

"At the same time, we will also dispatch technical personnel from Eastern Communications Company to connect with you. I believe that with him, perhaps the innovative development of your operating system will go more smoothly and become more complete."

Chen Jianghai said at the corner of his mouth that the Android intelligent system is now in the hands of Chen Jianghai, and the person who developed this operating system is Andrew.

Chen Jianghai planned to ask Andrew to come over and study Exped's operating system with Steve Qiao. According to later tests, Exped's system was actually very smooth.

Such a system is more in line with the needs of smartphones such as the Forerunner V3.
