Johnny raised his eyebrows slightly, Yan Guo's national law?
Haha.
No matter what national laws, ultimately money is not enough.
Johnny continued to raise the price: "50 billion!"
Chen Yang looked at him and was a little irritated.
He noticed that the guy in front of him didn't seem to understand human language.
Or does this guy think that money can solve everything?
Chen Yang just looked at him silently without saying a word.
Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Johnny continued to raise the price: "80 billion!"
"Mr. Chen, you must be able to see our sincerity."
"80 billion, that price has exceeded the real value of your company, but we are still willing to pay 80 billion, not for Pear, but more to support your founding cause."
Johnny speaks with great skill.
But Chen Yang didn't listen to him at all.
He looked at Johnny like he was looking at a fool. Did this guy really think he was a fool?
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I told you, Pear will not be sold."
Johnny was surprised by his attitude.
80 billion, this price actually exceeds Pear's current real value.
In his opinion, Chen Yang should be more or less surprised or excited.
But not.
He didn't see the slightest reaction from Chen Yang.
80 billion is not much.
If they hadn't made an error in judgement, Yan Guo's current funds wouldn't be as abundant as outsiders imagined.
And they also carried out special research.
About all of Yan Guo's expenses since its founding.
Excluding the national debt of 15.9 billion and the 6.9 billion helped by China, the money Yan Guo actually spent was less than 13 billion.
They even suspected that Yan Guo might be a wolf in sheep's clothing from the beginning.
If that is the case, he should be moved when he offers a price of 80 billion.
But why did he refuse?
Does he want to bet on Pear's future development prospects?
True, they also believe that Pear's future will be better than this.
The problem is that this is risky.
It is not a 100% sure way to succeed.
If no other products are released in the future, Pear is destined to be a short-lived surprise.
Looking into Chen Yang's eyes, Johnny sighed in his heart.
He knew this acquisition was doomed to failure.
Johnny organized his emotions and said, "Since Mr. Chen refuses, let's not force it."
"However, your company is currently in the startup phase."
"We can buy your company's share capital and provide technical personnel at the same time."
"Our Company Apple Inc has a lot of experience in the mobile phone industry, which can provide some experience for your company."
"I believe that with our strong cooperation, your company will definitely prosper."
Since it cannot be acquired, then find another way.
Buy shares!
Chen Yang still shook his head: "Pear has abundant cash flow. As Yan Guo's state-owned company, Pear does not accept funds from foreign companies."
To sum it up in one sentence, it's not a waste of money.
Johnny was a little desperate.
'You did not agree to the acquisition and now you refuse to even buy shares.'
'You are in charge of one of the ten largest companies in the world, a giant in the mobile phone industry!'
He really didn't understand where Chen Yang got so much confidence from.
You know, if a company wants to grow, dirty deals are inevitable.
To put it bluntly, if you want to grow in the same field, if you don't release some benefits properly, you must be prepared to be hindered by your colleagues.
He didn't believe that Chen Yang didn't know this.
Even if Chen Yang doesn't know, doesn't the consortium behind him know either?
Seeing that the negotiation could not continue, Johnny forced a smile and handed over a business card: "If Mr. Chen changes his mind, he can contact me at any time."
"All good."
They are gone.
Chen Yang, maintaining the host posture, accompanied them downstairs.
Seeing them leave, Chen Yang smiled, turned around and entered the building, throwing the business cards into the trash.
"He actually refused."
"What does Pear think? It's just a cell phone. If a company wants to grow, it needs to have enough products. At least Pear doesn't currently show that."
"Johnny, are we going back?"
Several people looked at Johnny.
The latter looked glum and said, "Go back first."
He wanted to report this matter to Nick first.
However, he knew that there would be no more chance of cooperation between Apple Inc and Pear.
There are only two things they need to do now.
First, find ways to improve your own products.
It is necessary to compare Pear's new cell phone and develop a cell phone that can compete.
This is not difficult to do.
The most difficult thing is the system.
Unless they can also develop an independent operating system, and this system must be as fluid and fast as Pear's.
But it's too hard.
Second, create some commercial hurdles for Pear.
This is also difficult.
All they can do is use the power of the United States to impose certain trade sanctions on Pear within the country.
But this sanction cannot be so obvious, it must be reasonable and have a legal basis.
For example, from Pear cell phones, see if there are any areas that do not meet American standards.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Samsung Inc. arrived.
They also proposed acquisition, but the acquisition failed, and they wanted to buy shares, but Chen Yang rejected everything.
When Samsung Inc left, they felt the same way as the Apple Inc people.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Penguin arrived.
The same routine, acquisition, investment and then rejection.
Chen Yang felt like his entire day had been wasted.
With this time, he could already plan the development of the next cities.
The next day.
A team from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China arrived and both sides had a friendly exchange.
During the meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China was ready to inform that it has ample labor and a factory ready for the cell phone assembly process.
In this regard, Chen Yang did not clearly position himself.
On the third day.
The Japanese Foreign Ministry team arrived.
Japan was ready to inform that it has battery manufacturers. If Pear is interested, it can personally go to Japan and visit relevant companies.
Chen Yang did not position himself clearly.
….
The diplomatic visit lasted half a month.
During this period, these countries also issued documents one after another declaring that they had formally established diplomatic relations with Yan Guo.
"Finally a little cleaner."
Chen Yang sat in the helicopter and controlled it to fly to Yan Guo Fourth City.
Soon, he arrived above an undeveloped forest.
The place he chose is here.
He will build Yan Guo's fourth city here, and this city will become Yan Guo's technology city!
After determining the location, he immediately purchased 25,000 engineering robots.
Immediately, he flew to another place.
Reaching the sky above the fifth city, this place will become Yan Guo's automobile city.
After purchasing engineering robots, Chen Yang immediately returned home.
Back at the office, Chen Yang made a statistical table of the building materials needed for the preliminary construction of the two cities, and then handed it to the people below to contact the previous suppliers.
U.S.
After the Apple Inc company team returned to the United States, they held meetings for a week.
They subsequently contacted the United States Department of Commerce and will officially hold a meeting with the United States Department of Commerce today.
At ten o'clock noon, the meeting officially began in the Ministry of Commerce's conference room.
Apple Inc CEO Nick said: "Pear refuses any form of capital investment. If Apple Inc is allowed to develop, it will have an unpredictable impact on its country's technology industry."
Mark, head of the Ministry of Commerce: "This is normal trade competition."
Nick said: "Minister Mark, Pear is a foreign company.
If our country's technology industry is affected because of them, it will cause the industry to reduce production and directly lead to a large number of layoffs.
I'm not here for Apple Inc, in fact Apple Inc won't be affected much, but other companies may not be so lucky."
Mark: "Pear is just a startup company. Are you taking this too seriously?"
Nick shook his head: "Pear has great potential."
Mark played with his pen, was silent for a few seconds, and said: "The United States is an open and free country, and the American market is equally open and free. Unless they violate trade laws, the Ministry of Commerce cannot impose any form of sanctions on them."
Nick said: "Maybe, it's a shame we can't investigate them. No company can withstand scrutiny."
As long as you want to check, you will definitely find the problem.
Mark frowned, Apple Inc's reaction seemed a little exaggerated to him.
After pondering for a few seconds, Mark said, "If someone reports it, we will investigate. But I don't think this method can have much impact on a company. If you want the Ministry of Commerce to decide to ban Pear from entering the American market, then you may be disappointed."
Nick also puckered the basket. That conversation didn't go well. This was not the result he wanted to see.
He hopes that Mark can sanction Pear and ban it from entering the American market.
Although he also knew that this was almost impossible.
After all, the United States is the greatest country in the world and has always stood for freedom and justice.
If there is no reason, that is, the reason is not sufficient, sanctions will be imposed on a company without authorization.
Once the news spreads, it will seriously affect foreign investment confidence in the United States.
For a company to harm the reputation and credibility of the United States, even a fool can choose what to do.
End of meeting.
Nick and everyone left the Ministry of Commerce and returned to the car, where he lit a cigarette.
Johnny said, "I have an idea."
Nick looked at him: "Speak."
Johnny said, "It is impossible for the Ministry of Commerce to sanction a company for no reason. Even if someone reports it, even if problems are found, they are not serious enough to rise to the sanction level. At most, they will be fined and have to be corrected."
"There's only one way to get Pear sanctioned!"
"What's the solution?"
"Order!"
"Hmm?"
"Place an order with Pear and buy their products!"
Nick obviously didn't understand what he meant.
Johnny continued: "Syria and Iraq need a lot of telecommunications equipment and technical support, and these products are all banned by the US Department of Commerce.
We only need to provide orders to Pear and purchase related equipment products, and then report this matter to the Ministry of Commerce, hehe..."
Nick's eyes lit up and he understood what Johnny meant.
Nick said: "Pear currently only has cell phones, not these products."
Johnny smiled and said, "They don't have it, but they can make it. If they can make cellphones, why can't they make these things? As long as there are orders, they will definitely make them."
"We will first place an order with Pear as another country and let them develop the relevant industrial chain. When the relevant industrial chain matures, we will then go to Syria and Iraq with the identity there for purchase."
Nick said, "Will they notice?"
Johnny shrugged, "It's hard to say, I can only say it's possible. Now let's see if Pear can resist that temptation, given the large number of orders."
Nick thinks this is indeed a viable method, but the cycle is a bit long.
But no matter what happens, you have to try.
After all, once this method is successful, Pear can basically be declared bankrupt.
As long as they dare to export related equipment to these two countries, once the Ministry of Commerce knows this, they will immediately impose sanctions on Pear for violating US foreign trade regulations.
The consequences of sanctions are quite serious.
Once sanctioned, American companies will no longer supply chips and other essential components to Pear.
For a technology company in the startup phase, this is almost a devastating blow.
Now, it depends on whether the other party takes the bait.
….
"It's been more than half a month."
In the office, Chen Yang put down the documents he had in his hands.
In recent days, in addition to adding two new cities, he has opened more than ten direct stores in invited countries.
While he was busy with these things, he was also paying attention to Apple Inc and Samsung Inc.
For more than half a month, there was no movement from these two companies.
None of the leading companies in the sector, especially those that have formed a monopoly, are doing well.
When the other party comes to Yan Guo and proposes an acquisition, it can be seen as an opportunity given to you by the other party, an opportunity to continue surviving.
He said it doesn't change times without problems.
Then, the other party would do the next best thing and propose to buy shares.
This is your second chance.
As long as the other party can make money, you still have a chance to continue developing.
The premise is that the other party must own the majority of shares in your company.
But you refused again.
At this time, even a fool can guess the subsequent development.
Typically, few companies can enjoy this type of treatment.
Pear is one of them.
Because the products Pear invented are incredible.
Big names in the industry can tell at first glance that this company has a bright future.
As long as you don't make mistakes, it's basically difficult to be a meteoric success.
It has been more than half a month, and Chen Yang has not seen any operations from these two companies.
He didn't think that the other party would just let him go.
This is absolutely impossible.
After all, we are all in the same industry.
Pear's rise means that its position in the industry will be shaken and affected, and that impact could be huge.
In this sense, Chen Yang actually does not have a good solution.
All he can do is take it one step at a time.
As long as it is within the scope of normal business competition, there is nothing to worry about.
As for the country's fate...
Not at this stage.
But once Pear fully grows, it will be difficult to say.
But when it comes to this, Chen Yang also has the means to deal with it.
However, before that, Chen Yang felt that it was time to improve.
He opened the official website of the Immigration Department.
In the past half month or so, the number of migrant workers in Yan Guo who have applied for green cards has exceeded 23,000.
Most of them are employees of furniture factories.
The number of original immigration action applicants has reached a frightening 130,000!
This is a pretty scary number!
However, the number of jobs that Yan Guo can currently offer is far from that.
Chen Yang calculated that even if the construction of the two newly built cities is completed and unimportant positions in various departments are replaced, the number of jobs that can be created will only be about 80,000 people.
In other words, almost half of the people will face direct unemployment as soon as they get here.
But everything is fine.
For these people, Chen Yang has already made arrangements.
Army!
To this day, Yan Guo does not have his own military force.
For a truly sovereign country, the army is an indispensable and important component.
At the same time, this is also the trick he wants to pull.
He picked up the map again and soon found a place on it.
He will build a military base here, mainly to train Yan Guo's army.
As for the 130,000 people who are about to immigrate to Yan Guo, Chen Yang will arrange for them to join the army.
