May 4th, 9: 30 am.
Shi Lei and Tao Wenxian had breakfast together and drove to the Jade Building to arrange the 3 billion USD deal.
The 12 offshore companies that Shi Lei prepared were not all newly established companies.
If all of them were newly established offshore companies, the acquisition of AMD's shares would definitely arouse suspicion.
After all, the shareholders of the offshore companies were confidential, but the basic information would not be kept confidential.
The date of the company's establishment could be easily checked by the government.
Using an anonymous method on the internet, Shi Lei used multiple accounts to contact various offshore company registration agencies. In the end, he purchased twelve offshore companies that were previously registered.
These offshore companies were registered by the offshore companies' registration agencies. They were specially registered to provide special services to customers.
Clients like Shi Lei needed such offshore companies that had been registered in the past.
On the 38th floor of the Jade Building, in the guest registration area, AMD's Senior Vice President Tom Clusi and AMD's think tank member Kira Katara were negotiating with the Dream Entertainment's receptionist.
"Madam, we need to see the CEO of Dream Entertainment, Mr. Shi Lei," Tom Clusi said to the receptionist in Dream Xia.
The receptionist was a tall young woman named Li Jie. She was 24 years old and a native of Shuanghu District. After graduating from university, she was lucky enough to be hired as a receptionist in Dream Entertainment.
Li Jie was very satisfied with this job. The work was easy, the working hours were short, and it was relatively decent compared to other jobs. In addition, the salary was not low. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
Li Jie did her job diligently and said politely in English, "Hello, sir. Do you have an appointment?"
As a company dedicated to global development, Dream Entertainment's basic requirement for receptionists was to have fluent English.
Tom Clusi was relieved when he heard Li Jie's fluent English. His Xia Xia language was not very good.
"I'm Tom Clusi, AMD's Senior Vice President. I need to discuss an important matter with Mr. Shi Lei." Tom Clusi introduced himself.
Coincidentally, Craig Berett, the senior vice president of Intel, also took the elevator to the 38th floor.
When Craig Berett saw AMD's Tom Clusi, his face revealed a dignified expression.
Li Jie knew Craig Beret because Dream Entertainment had issued him a pass and updated his temporary pass in the guest reception system.
"Good morning, Mr. Craig." Li Jie took the initiative to say hello.
Craig Berett replied with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Li!"
As he greeted them, he glanced at Tom Clusi. When he realized that Tom Clusi didn't have a pass, Craig laughed.
"Tom, long time no see!" Craig took the initiative to greet him with a smile.
Tom Clusi said with a straight face, "Craig, I heard that your Intel Company and Dream Entertainment have reached an agreement. Is that true?"
Tom was deliberately using words to block Craig. He and Kira had already analyzed that Intel definitely did not reach an agreement with Dream Entertainment.
Craig's smile froze, and his tone became stiff. "Tom, are you here to negotiate with Dream Entertainment?
I don't know if you have an appointment?
We at Intel admire Dream Entertainment's security measures. Strangers who don't have a pass are not allowed to enter the company's office.
When we go back this time, we will also treat them according to Dream Entertainment's reception standards. "
"You!" Tom's expression turned ugly.
Seeing that the problem was about to escalate and that the two Senior Vice Presidents of the processor manufacturing giants were about to fight, Shi Lei came to the company as if to save the day.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Shi Lei saw Tom Clusi and Craig Berett. He looked at Tom in surprise and said politely, "Mr. Tom, welcome to Dream Entertainment."
Tom Clusi nodded. "Good morning, Mr. Shi."
Shi Lei naturally knew why Tom Clusi came to Dream Entertainment. "Little Li, give Mr. Tom a temporary pass.
Mr. Tom is our Dream Entertainment's VIP, remember? "
Li Jie sensibly apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Tom. Please forgive me." As she spoke, she took out two temporary passes and handed them to Tom Clancy.
Tom took the temporary passes and looked at Craig proudly. As long as he entered Dream Entertainment's door, he didn't believe that AMD couldn't compete with Intel in the following negotiations.
Craig had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that Shi Lei wants to have a three-way negotiation?
Is he going to let Intel and AMD compete with each other?
According to the current situation, a three-way negotiation was indeed the most beneficial for Dream Entertainment.
As long as Intel and AMD competed with each other, Dream Entertainment would be the only one who would benefit in the end.
Damn Intel. I don't believe that you will agree to a large profit sharing with Dream Entertainment! Tom thought sinisterly.
In Dream Entertainment's conference room, only Shi Lei and Mu Shuang appeared.
Xie Hui, who was just a bystander, had already started to deal with the gun model development of Doomsday War.
As Craig had expected, Shi Lei really prepared a three-way negotiation.
This wasn't because Shi Lei wanted to gain more benefits, but because Shi Lei wanted to confuse Intel and AMD. He wanted them to think that Dream Entertainment only wanted to gain more profit sharing and ignore the fluctuations of AMD's stock in the securities market.
Shi Lei gave Mu Shuang a look, indicating that Mu Shuang didn't have to be polite. She had to blackmail the two companies and make them bleed a lot.
Mu Shuang nodded slightly as if it was natural. "Mr. Tom, Mr. Craig, welcome to Dream Entertainment.
Please forgive Dream Entertainment's improper handling of the problem. We originally agreed to give Intel the exclusive right to negotiate, but since AMD has come, we can't ask AMD to leave.
Therefore, today's negotiation will be between Dream Entertainment and Intel. AMD will be a spectator. We will not accept any of AMD's conditions or offers in today's negotiation. "
Mu Shuang was very accurate. Although AMD was involved, she didn't give them the right to negotiate. This appeased Intel's dissatisfaction and also took care of AMD. She let them know the progress and bottom line of the negotiation between Intel and Dream Entertainment.
Craig was dissatisfied, but he couldn't express it. They had only signed a memorandum of intent to cooperate with Dream Entertainment, not an agreement.
Even if Dream Entertainment changed their mind, Intel couldn't solve it through legal means.
"Okay, Madam Mu. AMD will sit on the sidelines quietly." Tom was quite satisfied with this outcome.
Even if they couldn't participate, it was a good result to annoy Intel.
Craig immediately started the negotiation. "Ms. Mu, Intel can share half of the profits with Dream Entertainment when it comes to the cooperation of personal game servers."
Based on the previous sales, Dream Entertainment could get around 500 million US dollars, which was 4 billion US dollars. This was enough for Shi Lei to repay Rongcheng Military District's debt of 3 billion US dollars.
However, Shi Lei didn't seem to have any debt from Rongcheng Military District …
Before Mu Shuang could speak, Tom Clusi from AMD said loudly to Kira Katala, a member of the think tank beside him, "Kira, the board of directors has authorized us to share 60% of the profits, right?"
Kira nodded in agreement. "President Tom, that is indeed the case."
Craig glanced at the silent Mu Shuang and then looked at AMD's Tom Clusi. He understood that AMD was determined to cause trouble.
Mu Shuang stopped before going too far. "Mr. Tom, could you please be quiet?
We are negotiating with Intel right now. You are only allowed to sit on the sidelines. "
Tom smiled knowingly and nodded in agreement.
If Mu Shuang didn't allow him to speak, why would she let AMD into the meeting room?
The entire negotiation process lasted from the morning to the evening. In the beginning, Mu Shuang and Shi Lei had the opportunity to intervene. Later on, it became a war between Intel and AMD.
Craig accused Tom of violating business rules and forcefully disrupting the negotiation between Intel and Dream Entertainment. Tom accused Craig of unfair competition.
Shi Lei and Mu Shuang were very satisfied with the lively negotiation.
The longer Dream Entertainment delayed the negotiation with the two chip giants, the more advantageous it would be for Dream Entertainment to acquire AMD's shares.
At 6 pm, the negotiation had to be suspended again.
This time, the three parties agreed to continue the negotiation three days later, which was May 7th.
After sending off Tom and Craig, Shi Lei and Mu Shuang had dinner together at the back street. Then, they returned to the company's headquarters to wait for the opening of the NASDAQ stock market.
After Intel and AMD left Dream Entertainment, they didn't stop. Instead, they had their own plans. Both parties found people from the news media and were prepared to expose some information.
Of course, Intel wasn't stupid enough to condemn AMD!
Craig was very unhappy. According to Intel's internal evaluation department's calculations, Intel would share 50% of their profits with Dream Entertainment. Then, they would reach an agreement with Dream Entertainment.
However, AMD's interference disrupted Intel's plans. This was simply intolerable to Craig!
However, Craig knew that he couldn't panic at this time. Otherwise, AMD's share price would collapse. Once he condemned AMD, he would be helping AMD.
Unlike Craig's anger and unhappiness, AMD's Tom Clusi was very happy. He had successfully destroyed the cooperation between Intel and Dream Entertainment. He was prepared to tell the news media and let them spread the news to the world. This would temporarily relieve AMD's pressure …
