Chapter 0645
Despite the busy night last night, I still had no time to spare during the day, as is the case with both Magnesium and Huaguo.
There is another bad news coming.
The caller was Zhu Xiaoya, Yu Na's college classmate and roommate at Stanford. When Yu Na returned to visit her relatives this holiday, she was in charge of the Meiguo Office. She did her work in an orderly manner. Compared with the personality she showed when chatting with, her work attitude was quite reliable and serious.
Magnesium lawyers believe that this acquisition case may be subject to scrutiny by the Magnesium Foreign Investment Commission (CFius) and may even be rejected! Zhu Xiaoya said directly.
Why? Li Rui frowned.
The law firm we hired just took a case some time ago, and the agent was Huawei Company of Huaguo. Boss, you should know about this company, right? Zhu Xiaoya said.
Of course Li Rui knew Hua Wei.
It should be said that who doesn’t know the flower for the sanitary?
In many people's impression, Huawei Company became famous nationwide after it released its own brand of smartphones.
In fact, Huawei Company, founded in 1987, has long been the world's leading supplier of information and communication technology solutions. It is a representative of local high-tech communication companies. Its products are sold all over the world and will soon replace Ericsson to become the world's largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer.
What's wrong with Hua Wei? Li Rui asked, he knew that since Zhu Xiaoya mentioned this matter, it would be related to this acquisition of Freescale.
Zhu Xiaoya said: Since March last year, Huawei has always wanted to acquire the intellectual property rights of 3leaf, a company in the San Francisco Bay Area that provides server virtualization solutions, and has quoted 2 million magnesium and obtained 3leaf's consent. However, after applying for and obtaining instructions to the Ministry of Commerce of the Magnesium Country, it still cannot be promoted. Huawei had to hire a lawyer to follow up on this matter, and only then did he know that five members of the House of Representatives jointly wrote to President Mabao to oppose the deal.
Why? Is the intellectual property of this 3leaf company very valuable? Li Rui frowned.
It is definitely valuable, but it is worth 2 million magnesium. Zhu Xiaoya said that the lawyer believes that this case means that the Magnesium government is tightening restrictions on the acquisition of Magnesium's high-tech intellectual property rights by Huaguo enterprises, which may have an adverse impact on our acquisition case.
Li Rui was also speechless. The acquisition of just 2 million magnesium is conceivable, and it is not something particularly valuable, otherwise it would not be the price.
With just this little thing, the Chinese people hid it and refused to let Huawei buy it, which only means that they never planned to compete fairly with Huaguo Enterprise.
Li Rui remembered one thing: the company was rejected because of national security issues. Later, Hua Wei also tried to acquire Nortel Networks and Moji. Although the bid was the highest, it was still snatched away by competitors on the grounds of the same security issues.
Mei Chinese people specifically target Huawei, because they do not understand Huawei's equity structure, but in fact this is just an excuse.
What they really care about is that they do not want their own technology to be put into Huawei's hands and become a force to help Huawei or Huawei develop and grow.
Compared with the famous Huawei, the unknown Xingrui Capital should not be taken seriously by the Ministry of Commerce of the Magnesium State or those nosy members, right?
But compared to 3leaf, Freescale's technology is more advanced and more important to Huaguo. Can Blackstone really handle all the connections?
To be honest, Li Rui was not sure.
After comforting Zhu Xiaoya and asking her to lead the team to continue preparing, Li Rui immediately called Fu Shande.
Fu Shande quickly answered the phone: Hi, Li Rui, you called this phone at the right time.
Oh? Li Rui heard the rumbling music coming from the microphone.
I was having a party with a few friends from Blackstone Company. Fu Shande smiled.
Li Ruidao: So this is entertainment or work?
My entertainment and work are always mixed together and cannot be separated. You must know that this is the difficulty of brokers, and it is difficult to separate life and work. Fu Shandedao.
Li Rui was speechless: I hope so.
Let’s get back to the point, what’s going on with me? If it’s for Freescale’s business, I think you don’t have to be so nervous. Fu Shandedao.
Li Rui simply said that Huawei encountered obstacles: Do you know this? I wonder if CFius will also impose the same restrictions on our acquisition?
It seemed that it was the first time Fu Shande heard about it and said in a panic: I really don’t know this, please wait for me and I’ll ask.
A few minutes later, he picked up the phone and said: There is indeed something happening. Five members of the Xiang Party's Congress wrote a letter to Mabaao directly, obstructing Hua Wei's acquisition. You also know that the Xiang Party is more conservative, emphasizes that the magnesium country is preferred, and hates the people of Hua's robbery of their job opportunities. So as long as there is such an opportunity to block Hua's enterprises, they will definitely not let it go.
What about our acquisition? Li Rui asked.
Fu Shande Qiqi Ai Ai said: Blackstone people have reached a consensus with the Ministry of Commerce and promised me that there will be no problems, but I didn’t expect such a group of idiots to come. But you can rest assured that I will stare at it. These idiots shouldn’t notice the Freescale project. When the transaction is completed, it will be too late for them to block it!
You must take this matter to heart and must not go wrong! Li Rui has already put too much effort into Freescale's project and must not allow failure.
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui was still a little worried.
He knew that Huawei had actually done a lot of work in order to integrate into the international market.
In Magnesium alone, Huawei set up two R&D centers, employing more than 1,000 Magnesium employees, with annual revenue of more than 500 million Magnesium, providing jobs and tax payments for Magnesium. But even so, Magnesium still adopts a distrust and even hostile attitude towards Huawei.
Huawei has never gained a large market share in telecommunications equipment in Magnesium. It is not that the technology is not good, the price is not good, or that the Magnesium has always talked about national security issues.
Li Rui even thought that if Xingrui Capital appeared in the face of Huaguo Capital, the situation he encountered in the future might not be as good as Huawei.
So you should be low-key, hide, and make a lot of money. Don’t be targeted by the Ministry of Commerce and anti-monopoly departments of the State of Magnesium, otherwise life will be difficult.
He was thinking about it, and a text message popped up on his phone.
It was sent by Taoyuanyuan.
