Chapter 377 Merger
"Are you planning to let Marconi Company cooperate with us?"
Although Boss Ren was a little surprised when Barron talked about this topic, he immediately realized the feasibility of it, his eyes lit up, and he said.
Barron, on the other hand, gave two options to Boss Ren: Marconi and Huawei would jointly form an overseas branch to conduct overseas business; or Huawei would directly issue additional shares and acquire Marconi.
"Actually, I can see that Huawei is a very enterprising company, so I would personally recommend you to choose the latter option, so that whether it is the patented technology owned by Marconi or the company's brand, So that you can make full use of it.”
Barron finally said this to Boss Ren.
"But there is one thing you need to understand, Your Highness the Duke, that is that we will be different from other companies. For a long time, most of our profits will be invested in research and development..."
Boss Ren said to Barron sincerely:
"So if Marconi Company is exchanged for our shares, I'm afraid we won't get much income and dividends in a short period of time. Moreover, we currently have no idea of listing the company..."
His meaning is very clear, that is, even if you are our shareholder, I am afraid that if it is a financial investment, it will be difficult to obtain short-term returns.
This is indeed the case. In his previous life, until the time of Barron's rebirth, Huawei was not listed on the market.
Moreover, the amount and proportion of their investment in R\u0026D are rare in China and even globally.
"This is what I appreciate about your company, and I have enough patience. I believe it can bring me enough returns."
Barron also knows that in the future, Huawei will encounter some restrictions from the United States. However, it was Rich23 Capital that acquired Marconi, and this investment company, which on the surface has no direct relationship with Barron, invested in it. In terms of projects, we can see that China-related companies account for the majority, and they are also the most suitable to hold Huawei shares in the future...
In this way, Barron and Boss Ren reached a preliminary agreement, and then the specific matters regarding the merger of Marconi Company and Huawei Company, or Huawei Company's acquisition of Marconi Company by issuing additional shares, were left to Huawei Company Negotiations with Rich23 Capital...
…
"Your Highness the Duke, we just received a call. The other party is a lady named Fan Bingbing..."
After sending Boss Ren away, Wang Wanting came to Barron and said to him.
Fan Bingbing?
"Give me her number."
Barron remembered that at the Huayi Brothers celebration banquet in Yanjing, the number Barron left for Wang Zhongjun was his official phone number. This phone was usually held by his personal assistant, and it was estimated that Fan Bingbing also held it. Got this number from him.
"Hello, I'm Barron."
"Mr. Cavendish, I am Fan Bingbing..."
After dialing the other party's number, Barron heard Fan Bingbing's voice and asked with a bit of surprise:
"Hello, Miss Fan, do you know what's wrong?"
"Well, it's like this. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to go to Qindao for a few days if you had the chance? I grew up there and can be your tour guide. There are still many interesting places there..."
"Thank you very much, Miss Fan. I'm in Shanghai now, and it may take a few days before I can finish my work here."
After Barron finished speaking, he heard Fan Bingbing say on the phone:
"That's a coincidence. I'm in Shanghai right now. A TV series I acted in is about to be aired, so I happened to come to Shanghai to promote it..."
That was really a coincidence. Although the other party made a special explanation, Barron still had a smile on his face:
"Isn't Miss Fan busy now?"
"Well, I'm all done with work for the time being..."
"In this case, I will have a meeting with the people here in the Magic City later, and there should be nothing else to do after that. Can we have dinner together?"
"That's such an honor..."
…
The next person Barron went to meet was the leader of the Magic City.
With Barron's current status, after coming to China, he will also attract the attention of some departments. As early as when he was in Yanjing, he had already met with some big guys, and most of them talked about investment and cooperation in China, including Finance, Internet, hotel real estate investment, etc.
For example, Standard Chartered Bank will launch personal banking business in China in the first half of this year. It will also be one of the first foreign banks allowed to carry out such business in China. All of this is also happening in Yanjing. , Barron talked about it when meeting with relevant bosses.
Also, O2 Telecom also hopes to cooperate with Chinese domestic communication companies and seek to develop business in China...
As for the Magic City, it is natural to hope to attract more investment from this world-famous super-rich man.
At present, Barron's business in Shanghai, in addition to hotels, banks, F1 events and other businesses, the Gucci Group's first flagship store in China will soon open. They will follow up in China, especially in super first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Open more store operations.
Moreover, the Gucci Group also intends to cooperate with relevant local companies in Shanghai to take the lead in holding a fashion show here. This will also be the first time for a top luxury brand to hold a similar event in China in recent years...
After that, Barron sent someone directly to take Fan Bingbing from the hotel to his home.
"It's so beautiful here..."
After entering Cavendish Garden and seeing Barron, Fan Bingbing praised him.
In mid-March, the weather here in Shanghai has turned warmer. Fan Bingbing was wearing a short beige woolen coat and long boots, looking quite delicate.
On the contrary, she was only 23 years old at this time, two years younger than Barron.
"When I was studying here, I passed by here before. At that time, this place looked quite...old. I didn't expect it to look so nice now that it has been renovated..."
After hearing her words, Barron remembered that Fan Bingbing had attended art school in Shanghai, and said:
"Then let me show you around, Miss Fan."
"Don't call me Miss Fan, just call me Bingbing."
"Haha, okay, you don't need to call me Your Highness the Duke, my friends will just call me Barron..."
At this time, Fan Bingbing was already quite well-known in China, so Barron did not invite her to dine out at a restaurant. Instead, he directly invited the chef of the Devonshire (Bund) Hotel to come to his home to cook for them. A dinner was prepared.
