"Sir, Larry Page has reached a cooperation agreement with Andy Rubin, and he will fully cooperate with Andy Rubin's actions this time!" In the familiar room, the secretary reported to the old man.
"Very good!" A rare smile appeared on the old man's face, and then he said to another person beside him, "You did a great job this time. If it wasn't for the information you provided, I wouldn't have known that such a huge secret was hidden within that small Android company!"
The person being thanked was, of course, Hao Jianguo.
About half a month ago, Hao Jianguo had reported a shocking secret to the old man, which was that the core of Jiangnan Group's PT plan was in a company in the United States.
This was a secret that Hao Jianguo had been unaware of before. If it weren't for someone in their core "oo" gaming group who casually said, "The financial personnel have arrived in Silicon Valley," and then quickly withdrew the message less than 10 seconds later, Hao Jianguo probably wouldn't have known this secret now.
After all, a message withdrawn within 10 seconds of being sent would normally not be seen by anyone, as Hao Jianguo couldn't possibly be constantly monitoring the "oo" gaming group on his computer.
But the problem was that Hao Jianguo was a meticulous person. While he couldn't watch his computer screen all the time, he had arranged other ways to record it. To ensure his actions were not detected, Hao Jianguo didn't use any scripting software. Instead, he specifically arranged for a camera to film the computer screen, and then he reviewed the camera's footage himself, thus discovering the withdrawn message.
This withdrawn message surprised Hao Jianguo because, to his knowledge, Jiangnan Group had no companies arranged in Silicon Valley. Yet, there were financial personnel stationed there, which was very strange.
So, Hao Jianguo used his influence to learn from the Ministry of Commerce that Boss Huang had separately invested in an enterprise called Android. Following this lead, he found this stealth company that had never appeared in the Jiangnan Group's system.
Afterward, Hao Jianguo reported to the old man. The old man immediately felt that this company was problematic because if it were merely arranging financial personnel, that would be a perfectly reasonable operation, and there would be no need to withdraw the message.
Thus, the old man began a comprehensive investigation of the company. Due to the formidable power behind the old man, the company was quickly investigated thoroughly. At the same time, Andy Rubin was not a low-key person. He had many friends in Silicon Valley, and through these friends, the old man quickly understood Andy Rubin's deep dissatisfaction.
Later, the old man directly sent people to contact Andy Rubin. Under the psychological offensive of professionals, coupled with Andy Rubin's growing dissatisfaction with Jiangnan Group, he was easily apprehended. From him, the fate of Android was also learned.
The old man was the king of commerce at the highest level. As soon as he heard the concept of Android, he immediately understood the immense profit and prospects that Android represented.
Especially after learning from Andy Rubin that the so-called PT actually referred to personal...
However, this was completely irrelevant because all that would be needed was to pay a fine and then sacrifice Andy Rubin to the gods, sending him to prison for several decades as punishment. This would conclude the lawsuit, and the Android system itself could be safely acquired and become the property of Goldman Sachs.
Truly, killing three birds with one stone.
Indeed, the old man held Andy Rubin in low regard, especially since the man would betray his master for personal gain. Who knew if he would sell Android again in the future? Therefore, even if the court did not sentence him, the old man would find a way to send him to prison. If that were not possible, he would shoot himself in the chest a dozen times to commit suicide; these were all standard operating procedures.
However, for now, the old man still needed Andy Rubin's cooperation and the technology in his hands.
"Remember, absolutely do not tip them off. I want Huang He to be full of confidence and prepare to execute his PT plan, only to discover that his legs have already been broken!" the old man said to Hao Jianguo. Hao Jianguo nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would diligently carry out his master's orders.
"By the way, go and acquire as many Qualcomm shares as possible. Android is basically designed using Qualcomm's chips, so Qualcomm chips will be key to the entire plan in the future. If we can acquire Qualcomm's stock and further control the company, the entire future will belong to us, Qualcomm!" After Hao Jianguo left, the old man commanded his secretary.
However, to his surprise, the secretary's expression suddenly changed. "Sir, it might be difficult to acquire Qualcomm shares right now!"
"Why?" The old man's face darkened; he disliked hearing the word "difficult."
"Because the Western Mustang Fund has announced that their next key investment target includes Qualcomm. After making a fortune from mobile phone companies, they have transferred all their funds to companies like Qualcomm, sweeping up almost all of Qualcomm's circulating shares on the stock market. Currently, Qualcomm's stock price has more than doubled, and it is available at a price but not in supply. To obtain enough shares to control Qualcomm, we would likely have to negotiate directly with other Qualcomm shareholders to acquire the stock. Acquiring it directly on the stock market is almost impossible!" the secretary said.
"What? Why weren't you informed of such important information earlier?" The old man's expression changed, and he immediately questioned sternly.
"Yes, sir. The Western Mustang Fund only announced their investment actions today. After all, according to the law, they have the right to announce their investment actions within a month to avoid interference from other institutions."
"Moreover, the Western Mustang Fund's operations this time were very secretive, conducted through some of our hidden accounts. We are not like Morgan and them, who can control the banking industry at will!" the secretary explained.
"Then, show me all the companies that the Western Mustang Fund has invested in immediately!" the old man ordered. The secretary quickly handed a detailed list to the old man. Upon seeing it, the old man's expression shifted dramatically, and he finally exclaimed, "Huang He is indeed formidable. His actions are extremely ruthless. He is using the Western Mustang Fund to control the entire chip design industry to ensure the smooth execution of his PT plan!"
The old man put aside the documents in his hand, and some of the names of the companies invested in by the Western Mustang Fund were revealed, including, but not limited to: Qualcomm, Arm, Amd, MediaTek, AsmL...
In total, there were over twenty companies that constituted the Western Mustang Fund's second wave of investment targets. These companies almost covered all enterprises in the chip design, production, and manufacturing sectors.
With these shares, Jiangnan Group would no longer have to worry about the security of crucial chip supply when producing PT in the future. After all, this was the only entity capable of strangling Jiangnan Group, even with the existence of the China Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance.
"If it weren't for Andy Rubin, he would have accounted for everything!" the old man sighed, then muttered, "God, if only Huang He were my son!"
