Back To 1995

   "Song!"

  When Song Yang, Xie Qing and others entered the conference room of EMC Group together, Rutgers shook hands with Song Yang, and all the directors and executives of EMC Group also looked at Song Yang curiously.

   "I've heard of your name Song a long time ago, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to meet you. If I had known today, I would have let EMC Group acquire Fortinet in advance!"

   Rutgers said to Song Yang in a joking tone, but everyone in the EMC Group who is familiar with Rutgers knows that what Rutgers said is not necessarily a joke.

EMC is no stranger to Song Yang's name. To a certain extent, Rutgers, like Song Yang, has taken advantage of the spring breeze of the Internet. The market value of EMC Group has swelled hundreds of times, but compared with Song Yang, Rutgers is still not as good.

Rutgers led the EMC Group to the top, but failed to stay on the top of the mountain, while Song Yang used the Internet to stand directly on the top of the mountain and cashed out most of the achievements of the Internet bubble period. The result was that both sides The situation is very different now.

   "Chairman Rutgers is also the professional manager I admire the most and is most underestimated by America. You should stand with Welch and Gerstner!"

Song Yang also boasted to Rutgers, not to mention anything else, Rutgers and Welch were able to retreat bravely at the most glorious time, save his face and the glory of his entire career, let the career There is no stain in his career, and this alone is far superior to those so-called top professional managers.

   After boasting about Lutgers, Song Yang and Chotus looked at each other, and then sat down.

Both Song Yang and Jotus knew what the purpose of today was, but even if Jotus wanted the two parties to sign the merger agreement immediately, it still needed the consent of Rutgers and the board members, even if it was acting, He also had to fool the EMC board of directors to agree.

  As the president of Fortinet Corporation, Xie Qing was the first to speak, "The purpose of everyone sitting here today, I don't need to say more, I believe that the merger between Fortinet and EMC Group is beneficial to both of us!

President Jotus must have conveyed the merger conditions of Fortinet to everyone. After the merger of the two parties is completed, the new brand of Fortinet EMC will be used, and EMC will still retain the brand, independent operation and management. Tower's antivirus business will get more market share.

  In this merger, the two parties exchanged shares. Fortinet hopes to obtain more than 55% of the shares of EMC Group. The new company will use the Fortinet EMC brand, and there will be nine board members, and EMC Group can get four director seats..."

   "Why the merger cannot be led by EMC Group, and EMC Group is also willing to pay enough for Fortinet!"

Even if it is a merger in name, there must be a leading party. It is said that it is a merger. In fact, Fortinet acquired EMC Group, but it is just a nice name. In the future, Fortinet can use various means to issue additional stocks and equity rewards , dividends, etc. to get more shares in EMC Group, or even if you have a black heart, it is not impossible to sweep out the members of the EMC Group's board of directors.

  The person who spoke was the chief financial officer of EMC and the true confidant of EMC's board of directors, Tu Beier, who spoke to Xie Qing.

  How could EMC Group not know what Fortinet knew? Although Fortinet was the one who proposed this merger, EMC Group also wanted to try it.

  Jotus didn’t open his mouth at this time either. Both sides always came up to test. This kind of test is also for bargaining later. He is still the CEO of EMC Group, and his buttocks must not be too crooked.

  As soon as Tuber opened his mouth, Marcus also confronted him, "If EMC Group wants to acquire Fortinet, then there is no need for us to come here at all. It is EMC Group that is in trouble now, not Fortinet."

  As soon as these words came out, the EMC Group couldn't help being silent for a while. Theoretically speaking, both sides have the strength to acquire the other side, but whether they want to sell or not is another matter.

  EMC Group is now in trouble, its performance is dismal, and its stock price has plummeted. No one knows how long this situation will last. If it merges with Feita, it will immediately change the current situation.

But Fortinet is different, not to mention that it is living a pretty good life now. The three major businesses of anti-virus business, hardware firewall, and TV set-top box are all flourishing. In the latest quarter, Fortinet's performance has surpassed that of EMC. Group, even if temporarily.

Even if Fortinet is in a downturn right now, it is backed by the North American Global Investment Foundation, a big financial backer, and is not afraid of losses at all. The North American Global Investment Foundation has always been a private investment foundation with the largest cash reserves. Up to now, it has always been, what is particular, is a rich and powerful man!

   "President Rutgers!"

Song Yang opened his mouth at this time, and he could see that the EMC board of directors was not unwilling to be acquired, otherwise they would not be sitting here. I am afraid that it is more about the bargaining chip, the merger price, and the situation of the EMC group after the merger, etc. , is what Rutgers cares most about.

"I have promised President Joe Tus that after the merger is completed, the two parties will formally start cooperation. For EMC, not only the support of Fortinet, but also ICQ, PayPal, Alcatel Mobile, Google, Amazon, Panda TV, Sega game consoles, Microsoft Xbox game consoles, and even Apple Computers, and the entire Alcatel mobile phone industry chain suppliers support orders!"

  Listening to Song Yang's list of companies' names, even Rutgers couldn't help swallowing secretly, let alone other EMC board members and executives.

The Bruno gang is now the largest gang in the technology industry in America. EMC also knows this, but hearing it with their own ears still makes them a little shocked and envious. This battle is too rich. When will EMC, I have seen such a rich battle, even if I don’t invest money in EMC, just by getting orders from these companies, EMC’s revenue this year can directly increase hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars in orders!

"besides…"

   "As long as the merger is completed, PA Semiconductor can immediately transfer its storage business to EMC Group."

Song Yang once again threw a blockbuster, which made EMC feel a little overwhelmed. The storage business under PA Semiconductor is also quite good. PA Semiconductor's mobile phone storage, plus EMC's own storage, immediately It can occupy more than half of the global mobile phone storage shipments, and it is even possible to control the pricing power of mobile phone storage!

Since the hydrangea was thrown out, Song Yang didn't mind, so he threw out a few more pieces of meat to let the directors of Rutgers and EMC Group know that the shares in their hands would not depreciate in value after merging with Fortinet, and they would be more valuable in the future. Maybe fly straight into the sky.

   "After the merger is completed, Fortinet will enter new fields, jointly develop cloud computing and big data technology with EMC, and will also enter into software development, database and other businesses!"

Rutgers looked at Song Yang in surprise. He heard multiple meanings from Song Yang's words. Other members of the EMC board of directors also had a lot of thoughts. He had heard that Song Yang had an outstanding investment vision. Of course, there is another term. Painting big cakes is very tempting, and now they have experienced it.

This pie is really big, big and fragrant, and I haven't tasted it yet. It has already made everyone think about it. In the future, Feita EMC Group can really reach the level of the big pie drawn by Song Yang, and the stock price will surpass Oracle. It's just a matter of minutes, and even a market value of 100 billion US dollars is not a dream!

  Think about it, if the stock price of Fortinet EMC doubles tenfold, how far can their worth reach? !

Song Yang took a look at Xie Qing, the cakes were finished, so it was natural to strike while the iron was hot, Xie Qing immediately started to make an offer, "Fei Tower is willing to exchange 6 billion US dollars for 55% of the shares of EMC Group , Let the two sides complete the merger!"

  Although many directors of EMC were still immersed in the big cake painted by Song Yang, they immediately came to their senses when they heard Xie Qing's quotation.

"This is impossible!"

   "EMC Group is worth $11 billion?!"

   "EMC Group is willing to accept mergers, but not robbery!"

When Jotus heard the offer, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Song Yang really dared to ask for a price. He wanted to swallow EMC for 5.5 billion US dollars. This is no longer called a fracture price. This is a cut to the neck.

  Even if the EMC Group is currently in a downturn, as long as the news is about to be sold, some companies are willing to spend a lot of money to acquire it.

   "Six and a half billion dollars!"

   "12 billion dollars, this is what the EMC Group deserves!"

  After the two sides started quoting, they quarreled fiercely, and no one wanted to be slaughtered. However, the quarrel was fierce, but neither side had the intention of leaving. Obviously, they both wanted to negotiate.

  When the price was raised to US$8 billion, Fortinet no longer bid, and EMC Group became cautious.

   "For eight billion US dollars, Fortinet will be exchanged for 55% of EMC Group's equity. I believe that the EMC equity in everyone's hands will be worth much more than it is now in a few years!"

Song Yang looked at Rutgers and said, this is the last offer. The acquisition of EMC Group at this price is not too cheap, but it is definitely a miss. After a few years, if you want to buy again , I'm afraid it would have been better to spend six to seven billion dollars earlier!

  Jotus also knew that this was almost the low price of Feita this time, and he also looked at Rutgers. After a while, the latter nodded to Joutus.

  Jotus let out a long sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand towards Song Yang.

   "Song, deal!"

Since this period of time, the focus of Nasdaq has been on World of Warcraft, the Starlink project, and even the concept of graphene has been pulled out for speculation. Never in the two major sections of Internet security and storage.

   Today, the concepts of Internet security and storage suddenly began to fluctuate violently. Before Fortinet and EMC made official announcements, Symantec suddenly jumped out!
