Palmisano replied like this, "Wall Street's approach is disgusting and has threatened the future of the IT industry."
"IBM is considering terminating service with Wall Street on servers!"
"Let those capital crocodiles use the phone book to store stock information!"
Subsequently, Guge's security department suddenly released the 2002 Global Software System Security Report.
Claims that major vulnerabilities in Microsoft and Pangu systems have been discovered, and there are major security risks. Once exploited by hackers, it will cause immeasurable losses to global enterprise-level computer systems and may trigger a global financial tsunami.
This set of two companies stunned Wall Street.
Let's not say whether Paulson was scared to death, anyway, Migu was quite scared.
plunge! !
It was bleak and spectacular! !
On this day alone, I don’t know how many Wall Street investors want to jump off the building.
Paulson has completely messed up his position. This is their basic set, which has been shaken fundamentally.
What's more troublesome is that he has not yet found a way to deal with IBM and Guge.
Already out of breath, he even started to blame Qi Lei.
"Qi! What's the matter with your system? Why is there a major loophole? This makes us have no confidence to replace Windows."
For this, Qi Lei could only apologize, "I don't want to see something like this happen."
"However, the system is like this, with tens of millions of lines of code, it is inevitable that there will be loopholes."
"Besides, we are still an emerging system, and many places are indeed not perfect."
Paulson, "I think you should command the Chinese headquarters now and make a remedy immediately!"
Qi Lei, "Don't worry, we are already working on a remedy."
"Oh, damn it!" Qi Lei looked annoyed, "Perhaps De Er has been eyeing me for a long time, and this is the bargaining chip between him and me in the browser negotiation."
Paulson, "..."
Qi Lei, "I'm just curious. Microsoft shouldn't make such low-level mistakes. They are a mature system with rich experience. Why do they have major loopholes?"
It was Paulson who couldn't help it, "Is there even a need to ask? That damn Bill!"
"Even if there is no loophole, he will open a back door for Gu Ge!"
Throwing a newspaper in front of Qi Lei, "Let's have a look!"
"Bill has already responded to the loophole. He said it himself, this loophole is difficult to remedy and it will take time!"
"It's just intentionally targeting us!"
Qi Lei spread his hands helplessly, "Then what should we do now?"
Paulson hesitated, but smiled abnormally, "It's okay, we will take care of it."
"Qi, I assure you that it will not affect our cooperation."
Qi Lei, "..."
It's okay ass!
Wait!It is estimated that the congressmen in Washington will contact you soon.
This is not Qi Lei's calculation, he knows it with his heels.
It is impossible for Washington to stand idly by when such a big incident occurs, the international public opinion and the stock market plummet, and it threatens the US financial system.
As expected, Paulson received a call from Washington as soon as he returned.
"Mr. Paulson, this is nothing like what you promised us."
Paulson forced his composure.
He smiled and said: "This is a normal reaction, you don't think those people in Silicon Valley will accept the reality willingly?"
"Of course there will be resistance, but it's still under control."
Opposite, "Then what is the problem with ARM? International public opinion has damaged the image of the United States."
Paulson, "You don't need to worry about this, we have already found a channel to get the source."
"source?"
"Yes! The English reporter."
"Well, I hope you don't do something stupid, that woman reporter is now a British hero, you know what I mean?"
Paulson, "Of course, unless we have to, we won't take that approach, and it won't solve the problem."
Opposite, "I hope so!"
There was a moment of silence, "Mr. Paulson, what does Palace B mean..."
"Maybe Wall Street can consider co-existing with Silicon Valley."
"Since we can cooperate with the Chinese, why can't we cooperate with Silicon Valley?"
When Paulson heard this, his face darkened immediately, and those damned politicians were shaken! !
They should know that there is no way to cooperate.
Silicon Valley has replaced Wall Street to dominate the United States. If it is allowed to develop without intervention, then it is not a question of ambition at all, but a question of trends.
Silicon Valley has all the conditions to lead the United States. Doesn't Washington know it?
They have public opinion, media, and capital, and they hold the key to the future!
If Paulson now agrees to settle with Silicon Valley, it would be tantamount to capitulation.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly smiled, "You have made a very good suggestion, and I will consider it carefully."
"No! Maybe we can implement it right away, and pull the dragon from IBM and Gu Ge. In this way, the crisis of server and system vulnerabilities can be resolved by the way."
Opposite, "Pauerson, maybe you can also consider Microsoft and Intel, and Amazon."
Paulson's eyelids twitched, and he remained silent again.
After a long time, "I'm afraid it's difficult?"
"why?"
Paulson, "In order to appease the British, we have decided to involve ARM."
"They hold the core technology of smartphone chips and are indispensable partners! Moreover, ARM's business overlaps with Intel's."
"And Microsoft's system overlaps with Three Rock's."
"If IBM enters the game, then Amazon's database service will also become tasteless."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"It is not a wise choice to let the three of them enter."
opposite,"……"
For a long time, "Well, it's up to you to decide."
"However, Palace B hopes that you will solve these troubles immediately!"
Paulson, "Yes."
Putting down the phone, Paulson sneered, damn politician! !
Then Paulson figured it out.
The entry of IBM and Guge may be a good thing. Not only can it solve the current predicament, but the two companies can also provide certain technical support.
The most important thing is that public opinion will look good.
It's just that Paulson doesn't plan to give them too much, and the share ratio is probably between 3% and 4%.
And ARM...
On the contrary, Paulson will give more to Warren, after all, the left hand is the right hand.
In fact, pulling ARM into the water is a way to slow down.
Just this morning, Warren had approached Paulson, and ARM's UK headquarters was under threat of a strike.
A large number of demonstrators also prevented ARM from working normally.
More importantly, British politicians have contacted Warren, whether it is the pro-Mei faction or the opposition party, hoping that he will make a personal statement.
Warren was also cornered, "The British government wants me to respond to appease public opinion."
"Mr. Paulson, I want you to know that ARM is at the end of its rope!"
"Perhaps you should consider adding the name of ARM to this cooperation project. The important position of a multinational project will give some comfort to public opinion."
In this way, Paulson estimates that it will take about 7% of the shares to get rid of IBM and Guge.
On the ARM side, Paulson plans to allocate 9% to 10%.
For one thing, the left hand can be more than the right hand.
Second, ARM's smartphone chip project is indeed very important and worth the price.
As for Qi Lei, it may take 32%, or even 33% to get rid of it. After all, Rosie Knightley, Paulson owes him a favor.
Calculated in this way, the equity ratio he needs to take out is still below 50%, and Wall Street still firmly holds the initiative.
After calculating these, Paulson gradually relaxed, and the situation was still under his control.
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. President, old Gerald from JS company wants to see you."
Paulson frowned, "What is this old bastard going to do?"
Paulson was disgusted with Gerald Merlin, who was a scoundrel!
However, thinking that the old bastard would be needed now, Paulson decided to meet him.
As a result, the rascal-looking Gerrard almost sent Paulson away with his first sentence.
"Pauersen, I want shares in the cooperation project with Sanshi Company!"
Paulson wants to kick him out, why do you?
"Gerald, are you kidding me!?"
Old Gerald curled his lips, "I never joke!"
"Then you are crazy!"
Gerald, "Am I crazy? Don't think I don't know about your tricks!"
"ARM is still losing money, and your Desheng managers are sniping JS everywhere in the stock market."
"Do you think I'm an idiot? Don't you understand your intentions?"
"You want to watch my bank fail to repay Desheng's loan, and then take the bank with ARM!?"
"You are dreaming!!"
Paulson, "..."
His eyes became sharper, and he finally knew why Gerrard came here. This guy had a bad eye in the stock market.
This is trying to blackmail Desheng!
Without showing any weakness, "Gerald, don't mess around! There is no such thing at all, it's all your slander!"
Gerald's face became grim, "Slander? Okay!"
"Paulson, you bastard! I slander? Then let's forget about it!"
Paulson, "What are you going to do?"
Gerald Merlin smiled coldly, "There is still one and a half years until the first repayment date!!"
Paulson, "???"
Gerrard, "In other words, in this year and a half, ARM will still be under my control!"
The eyeballs stood up, "Do you believe it or not? I sold ARM to the Chinese!"
