Chapter 324 Blank Checks
Chen Yiran originally thought that this meeting would still be about football, but to his surprise, the Abu Dhabi side wanted to discuss other issues with him.
A man in a white robe smiled and introduced himself: "I am Khaldun Mubarak, head of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala. Our chairman, Sheikh Mansour, asked me to convey his greetings."
This is Ajit Manocha, CEO of GlobalFoundries. GlobalFoundries is currently wholly owned by Mubadala's Advanced Technologies Investments. He's here primarily to discuss future plans.
Chen Yiran nodded to Ajit Manocha first, then said to Mubarak, "I've met Manocha a few times. Our cooperation with GlobalFoundries has always been very pleasant. Is there a problem now? Let me guess, is there something Google has done?"
Mubarak nodded: "Mr. Chen is quite astute. We didn't expect them to come to us to discuss an acquisition. You know, GlobalFoundries is basically Aurora Group's pocket factory now, and most of its orders come from Aurora Group."
"Google is always like this; they have so many unrealistic fantasies. When it was TSMC, your Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was directly on my side. They actually thought they could buy GlobalFoundries."
"I think they may have no way out. Samsung, as the world's largest wafer foundry, is beyond negotiation. TSMC is becoming increasingly unstable, and after you join, it is even less likely that you will completely side with them."
That's why they came to us, the third party, and offered a very high price. But they underestimated our relationship with you. We wouldn't betray our friendship for such a small amount of money.
【ᗜ _ ᗜ I feel like he's probably afraid we won't sell them drones anymore.】
Chen Yiran felt that Jasmine was absolutely right, but this only proved that his previous strategies were correct. The capital of the Gulf countries was truly ubiquitous. They could be encountered by every team, and even by those involved in chip manufacturing. It could be said that they were everywhere.
"I appreciate Abu Dhabi's friendship. Rest assured, I will do my best in future cooperation. Bahrain should have already given you the catalog. If you have any special requirements, please let me know. We can never be too careful with security."
Mubarak looked grateful and then tried to ask, "Then thank you so much, Mr. Chen. I believe our royal family will be very happy too."
But I have another purpose for coming this time. I'd like to ask if Mr. Chen is interested in GlobalFoundries? If so, we can part with our shares; rest assured, the price will be very reasonable.
Chen Yiran felt a little tempted, but he held back. Controlling most of GlobalFoundries' orders was enough. Buying it back would only excite antitrust agencies in various countries.
However, Abu Dhabi's initiative to sell is somewhat strange and doesn't make much sense unless they are after something bigger.
【(^U^)ノ~YO Didn't you say before that you wanted to unite more people? This is practically handing them over for free; they're definitely after Aurora Mobile shares.】
Chen Yiran thought for a moment and decided it was better to be direct: "You want shares in Aurora Group?"
Mubarak waved his hand, and after Ajit Manocha left, he whispered, "We don't lack money at all, and we're not after any high profits later. What we need is the influence of Aurora and to buy a future."
"Impact? While drones are very effective in security, they are not enough to change the future."
Mubarak shook his head: "To be honest, this is not my idea, but our royal family inexplicably trusts you a lot. They think you are the one who will change the world in the future. Our national structure itself is viewed with hostility by other countries, so we hope to take a gamble on you."
Although I think they've watched too many Terminator movies, there's nothing I can do to stop them. It's just money anyway, and it's worth it for a future.
"How many shares do you want? Although I initially held a large stake in Aurora Group, I can't sell too many to you. Apple and Bain underwent a share swap last year, and they only have 5% now. No matter how much money you offer, I can't let your shareholding exceed that number."
"5% is already very good. We can discuss the price privately and not disclose it to the public. I can tell you very clearly that the check I have is truly blank."
