Chapter 117 A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (more than 4,000 words, please subscribe)

About a week, Rex Aiden, Fujio Masaoka and others came to Shanghai.

Zhao Ye took the people from Loongson Design Company to the airport to personally pick them up to show his importance.

Toshiba is not sure about the value of NAND, can Zhao Ye not know?

Not to mention the value of NAND flash memory itself, using it to develop products alone can have more advantages than other competitors, such as developing USB flash drives, digital cameras, mobile phones, game consoles, etc. The data storage capacity of flash memory is far greater than that of other storage media.

As noon approached, Rex Aiden, Fujio Masaoka and his group walked out of the airport.

Zhao Ye waved to them while waving hello.

"Rex, thank you for your hard work!"

"Also, Mr. Fujio Maoka, welcome to join Wujiang Group. I believe that you are Wujiang and will be able to show your talents to the fullest!!!"

Zhao Ye shook hands with Rex Aiden and Fujio Maoka respectively.

Rex Aiden smiled and said, "Not hard work."

Fujio Maoka was quite moved to see Zhao Ye being so enthusiastic about him. After all, he has been neglected for a long time in Toshiba. As long as someone gives him a little warmth, he will be moved.

"Let's get in the car first and go back to welcome Fujio Maoka and others!" Zhao Ye greeted, and then took the lead in walking outside.

At this time, many people at the airport had noticed Zhao Ye's side.

Some people recognized Zhao Ye and immediately looked surprised and prepared to come over to watch.

This is Zhao Ye alive ~

Zhao Ye hurriedly took everyone away, then got into the car and left.

In the evening, Zhao Ye greeted Fujio Maoka and others in the old hotel in the capital. At the wine table, he was having fun and the guests were all happy, and there was no need to say.

The next day, eight NAND design team members, including Fujio Masaoka, officially joined Loongson Design Company.

Zhao Ye transferred 15 employees to join the NAND flash memory development department to learn from Fujio Masaoka and others.

NAND flash memory still has defects and needs further improvement.

In his previous life, Fujio Masaoka and others were unpopular in Toshiba and lacked R&D funds, they successfully improved it in 1989, greatly reducing the cost per bit, having higher performance, and being able to easily upgrade through interfaces like disks.

In this life, the development of NAND flash memory technology will inevitably be much faster.

The third-generation game console of Wujiang Group can replace CDs with NAND flash memory cards.

The second-generation game console, NAND flash memory technology should not be mature yet. When applied to game cards, the storage capacity is not as good as CDs.

In Zhao Ye's vision, the second generation of game consoles should be 16-bit, and it is planned to be released in 1988.

The third generation of games is 32-bit and was released in 1993.

In his previous life, it seemed that the world's first 32-bit game console was also released in 1993. Zhao Ye did not give his competitors a chance to overtake it!

In terms of memory chips, with Fujio Masaoka and others joining Loongson Design Company, Zhao Ye no longer needs to worry about flash memory, but memory development still has a long way to go.

While Zhao Ye is busy developing EDA, he also has to lead everyone to develop DRAM memory.

The importance of DRAM memory is self-evident.

In mobile applications, the role of DRAM is to provide data storage space for AP processing operations; in servers and personal computers, DRAM provides data storage space for CPU operations.

Of course, DRAM plays the same role in gaming console applications.

Therefore, Zhao Ye is now focusing on DRAM memory and spends most of his day in the laboratory.

Secretary Liu Yinyin had something to do to find him, so she had to make a special trip to the laboratory.

"Boss, this is an important news from Wujiang Group (Hong Kong branch). Lloyds Bank in the UK wants to acquire Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered Bank is not willing to be acquired, so it is seeking help from the outside world. Zhou Anping, general manager of Wujiang Group (Hong Kong branch), believes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and can give Wujiang Group the opportunity to acquire Standard Chartered Bank... Standard Chartered Bank is a large bank in Hong Kong with the right to issue money. It has a large scale and a business network all over the world. For Wujiang Group, having such a large bank has a very big effect."

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He also wanted to acquire a bank, but he looked down on a small bank.

Standard Chartered Bank is quite suitable. Although it is large in scale, it is not impossible for Wujiang Group to acquire it.

Zhao Ye vaguely remembers that in his previous life, Lloyds Bank maliciously acquired Standard Chartered Bank, but was defeated by Qiu Deba, Hong Kong ship king Pao Yugang and Australian businessman Robert, for 1.3 billion pounds. The three people successfully bought 37% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares.

In 1986, the exchange rate between the British pound and the US dollar was 1:1.4.

£1.3 billion, or £1.82 billion.

Wujiang Group can acquire 37% of Standard Chartered Bank's shares alone.

The question now is, will the other three people get involved in the same way as in the previous life?

The four people share the shares, but Wujiang Group can't get many shares.

Zhao Ye was a little confused at this time.

Standard Chartered Bank is a hot commodity, I think no one doesn’t want to eat it.

He could not stop Qiu Deba, Bao Yugang and Australian businessman Robert from taking over the shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

However, these people finally sold their shares and could take the opportunity to take over.

Qiu Degen was involved in a fake account lawsuit in 1988 and had to sell ATV. If he had made up his temper and forced him to sell his shares in Standard Chartered Bank, it seemed possible.

Standard Chartered's equity is scattered, even at 13.5%, and is already the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank.

If you can control 37% of the equity or even more, you can already control Standard Chartered Bank. With control, if you want to increase your holdings, there are many ways to increase your holdings.

It seems that this is really an opportunity to acquire Standard Chartered Bank.

Zhao Ye smiled and said to his secretary Liu Yinyin: "Let Zhou Anping contact the management of Standard Chartered Bank, and said that Wujiang Group is willing to buy shares of Standard Chartered Bank to help Standard Chartered Bank repel the malicious acquisition of Lloyds Bank in the UK! By the way, this time, I told Zhou Anping that he must buy as many shares of Standard Chartered Bank as possible."

"OK!"

After Zhao Ye finished explaining, he thought about it and turned to continue developing DRAM.

No matter how much equity you can buy in Standard Chartered Bank this time, you won’t lose money anyway, Standard Chartered Bank’s market value has been growing.

If you cannot acquire Standard Chartered Bank in the end, you can set up a bank yourself and then develop slowly. In this way, in the early stages of the bank's development, Wujiang Group can still hold 100% of the shares. Even if the bank gives up part of its equity in order to expand in the future, it will still occupy the majority of the shares and can firmly grasp the control of the bank.

...

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Qiu Degen suddenly visited Bao Yugang's house.

Qiu De was basically the founder of Far East Bank. He was particularly sensitive to the malicious acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank in the UK. He felt that this was a rare opportunity to take the opportunity to buy a large amount of equity in Standard Chartered Bank and become the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank!

However, he was not strong enough to defeat the British Lloyds Bank.

So I thought of the famous ship charter king in Hong Kong and joined forces with him.

"Boss Qiu is visiting late at night, I wonder what it is expensive?" Bao Yugang asked with a smile.

Qiu Degen said straight to the point: "I believe the ship charter king has heard of the malicious acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank in the UK. I believe the ship charter king has heard of it? I plan to join forces with the ship chartered Bank to help Standard Chartered Bank with one hand and defeat Lloyds Bank. At the same time, we can take this opportunity to buy a large number of shares of Standard Chartered Bank and become the major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank! Even if Mr. Bao does not want to hold shares of Standard Chartered Bank for a long time, he can slowly sell the shares afterwards, thus making a big profit!"

After hearing this, Bao Yugang thought for a while, and then smiled and said to Qiu Degen, "Boss Qiu, this idea is indeed good, I am a little moved. I wonder how much money we need to prepare to defeat Lloyds Bank?"

Qiu Degen replied: "It will cost about 1.5 billion pounds."

"1.5 billion pounds is no longer a small amount of money! The risk is a bit big!" Bao Yugang frowned, but he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart, whether it was worth taking a risk.

Qiu Degen continued: "I have contacted Australian businessman Robert, and he is also interested in participating. If the three of us join forces and have strong financial resources, we can completely help Standard Chartered defeat Lloyds Bank!"

When Bao Yugang heard this, he smiled, "Boss Qiu was so thoughtful and even contacted more people. It seems that he is sure to win. Bao has no reason not to participate!"

Qiu Degen smiled and said, "With the ship charter king participating, this time he will definitely win!! Looking back a few years ago, the ship charter king raised 2.1 billion Hong Kong dollars in three days to win the Hutchison Whampoa. How energetic it was, and it still makes people talk about it!"

"Haha, Boss Qiu laughed, the past is unbearable to look back on..." Bao Yugang smiled modestly, waved his hand, and said, "Counting the romantic figures, I still look at the current day. If you want to say that the most glorious and eye-catching thing is the one in the mainland!"

"You mean Zhao Ye?!"

"Haha, Boss Qiu has also heard about this person's deeds?"

"How come I haven't heard of it?" Qiu Degen sighed, "It is said that many economic magazines or professional evaluation agencies believe that Zhao Ye will definitely be the richest Chinese in the world this year! Speaking of which, I also asked someone to investigate it. It would be fine if I didn't investigate it, but when I investigated, I was shocked. He is only 22 years old now, and Wujiang Group's revenue last year was close to 5 billion yuan. This year, "Qiongqi Home Game Control" landed in Japan and directly generated hundreds of billions of yen in a few weeks. It was incredible and unbelievable!"

When Bao Yugang heard this, he nodded and agreed.

"There are talents in the country and the country, and they all lead the trend for hundreds of years! Our glorious era has passed!" Bao Yugang sighed.

Qiu Degen shook his head and said, "Boat charter, you are too humble. You are now in full swing and your career is booming. Last year, you spent 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars to finally acquire Huidefeng, one of the four major overseas banks, which surprised the whole of Hong Kong! How many people can compare with such a feat?"

The two old men were bothering each other in business and chatting, but they were not awkward at all.

...

The next morning, after Zhou Anping received Zhao Ye's instructions, he immediately contacted Mason Camp, a senior from Standard Chartered Bank. The two made an appointment to meet at the Peninsula Hotel at noon.

At around 11:40, Zhou Anping came to the private room in the hotel that had already booked in advance.

After waiting for a while, Mason Camp knocked in.

"Hello, Mr. Mason Camp!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou Anping!"

The two shook hands and greeted each other.
