Chapter 786

.

If he could only choose between the Hero's World and AMD, Shi Lei would definitely choose the Hero's World and not AMD. Although AMD had a strong role in making up for Mirage Technology Group, it was not an irreplaceable choice.

Intel and AMD were not the only companies that produced CPU chips in the world. There were many other choices. Shi Lei even set his sights on a computing chip design and manufacturing company with great potential.

The worst outcome of the acquisition of AMD was Dream Entertainment failing. However, Dream Entertainment held 93.68% of AMD's shares.

As long as Dream Entertainment did not let go, AMD would be firmly trapped by Shi Lei. There was no way to escape the trap. It might even be delisted.

Once AMD was delisted, those fixed investors would definitely enter the third board market. At that time, the acquisition of AMD could be achieved.

Jade Building, 83th floor. Shi Lei sat in the business conference area of Mu Shuang's office. He held the phone in his right hand and firmly rejected the request of Super Tycoon Storm from Lijian Province.

On the other end of the call, Super Tycoon Storm seemed to be stunned. He did not respond for a long time. He did not understand why Shi Lei rejected him. It was only a first place in an online virtual game competition. The total prize money was only three million USD. He had used more than two hundred million USD in exchange. Was that not enough?

"Why?" Storm asked unwillingly.

Shi Lei said calmly, "Fair!"

"Fair?" Storm's tone was strange. The Hero's World had no concept of fairness since the beginning of the closed beta. Otherwise, why would they let paid players experience the game first?

Shi Lei chuckled. "Player Storm, do you think that the concept of fairness is laughable in the Hero's World? Dream Entertainment is obviously biased towards high-end players, right? That's right. Although Dream Entertainment is biased towards high-end players, we did not destroy the game's fairness. Including the upcoming paid item system. At most, high-end players will have an advantage, but they will not be invincible. Furthermore, as long as the low-end players had heaven-defying luck or powerful skills, they would still be more powerful than most of the high-end players. For example, the famous player 'One Thought to Become Demon Lord Wu Hui', this player didn't have the first-order beta access, nor did he get the excellent novice reward, but now his level is the highest among the players, and his combat ability is probably higher than yours. Even if you have the 'Endless Glory Set' and your combat ability is higher than his, you might not be his opponent in a real battle. "

Super Tycoon Storm fell into deep thought again. 'I've underestimated Dream Entertainment!' Storm smiled inwardly and said, "Mr. Shi, please forgive me. I apologize for my earlier suggestion."

"I accept your apology on behalf of Dream Entertainment," Shi Lei replied solemnly.

Windstorm laughed heartily. "Mr. Shi, I'm willing to sell you 7% of AMD's shares at 60 USD per share. There are no additional conditions. This is to express my apologies. "

Shi Lei was surprised that Storm was so generous in apologizing. However, this was not the time to be courteous with Storm, so Shi Lei agreed. "Thank you, player Storm! Dream Entertainment will remember your help to Dream Entertainment. "

Pausing for a moment, Shi Lei hesitated for a moment before promising, "Player Storm, in order to express our gratitude, Dream Entertainment will give you a certain amount of compensation. In the Hero's World, we will compensate you with some Reputation Points and a Legendary Mission. However, these two compensations can only be given to you in the form of scrolls, and they can only be used after the first Wulin Tournament. "

Giving Super Tycoon Storm some compensation could comfort him. At the same time, there was a time limit to use the scrolls so that Super Tycoon Storm could not dominate the world in the first Wulin Tournament. This was also to maintain fairness.

"A Legendary Mission?" Storm was delighted. "What kind of Legendary Mission?"

"Enter the Hero's World and check it out yourself. The system will automatically send it to you," Shi Lei replied with a smile. He had already thought of the content of the mission, and he believed that Storm would like it.

Storm did not say anything else, and directly said, "Mr. Shi, when can we sign the agreement?"

"As long as it's convenient for you, any time is fine." Shi Lei actually wanted to say the sooner the better, but that would be too utilitarian.

"How about now? The stock transfer agreement is very simple. My team of lawyers has already prepared all the contents. After both of us sign it, the 7% of AMD's stock that I hold will belong to Dream Entertainment! "Storm was obviously a true tycoon, and he did not care about losing half of his profits.

Storm took the initiative to express goodwill to Dream Entertainment. The value of AMD's stock could not reach 85 USD per share. Even 60 USD was a very good price.

"That works too! I'm at the temporary headquarters of the Jade Building. Come over! "Shi Lei agreed.

On May 62th, at four o 'clock in the afternoon, Shi Lei and Storm officially signed the AMD stock transfer agreement. Storm transferred 7% of AMD's stock under his name to Dream Entertainment.

At this point, Dream Entertainment held a total of 818 million shares of AMD's stock, reaching 06.69% of the company's total share capital. They had completed the absolute control of AMD, and the total cost was more than 6.6 billion USD!

After both parties signed the agreement, Super Tycoon Storm left in a hurry. He even regretfully rejected Shi Lei's suggestion of a celebratory party. According to Storm's original words, he wanted to immediately enter the Hero's World to see what Dream Entertainment's compensation reward was.

Shi Lei's forehead was covered in cold sweat. After Storm left, Shi Lei quickly contacted Izur and conveyed his thoughts to Izur. He asked Izur to create the corresponding scroll and send it to Super Tycoon Storm.

Although Super Tycoon Storm rejected the celebratory party, Dream Entertainment had no choice but to hold one. They even wanted to hold one on a large scale. Shi Lei first asked Hong Xiang from Dream Entertainment to contact all the major news media in Shuangqing City to inform them that Dream Entertainment was going to hold a press conference.

This task was supposed to be carried out by Xie Hui. However, Xie Hui, this miserable fellow, was still fooling around in Lijian Country for the time being and could not return for the time being.

In addition to informing the media to hold a press conference, Shi Lei also booked a celebratory party at the Green Lake Hotel to celebrate the successful acquisition of AMD.

As a news generator, Dream Entertainment's every move would fall into the eyes of the media. This time, after Hong Xiang, the third person in charge of Dream Entertainment, informed all the major media in Shuangqing City, representatives from all the major media outlets in Shuangqing City sent in interview requests and immediately rushed to the Green Lake Hotel.

Dream Entertainment's press conference would be held at the Green Lake Hotel's press conference hall. Shi Lei originally planned to hold the press conference at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Nan An District. However, time did not allow for it, so he chose the Green Lake Hotel.

The Green Lake Hotel's press conference hall was still a little small in terms of layout. After the acquisition of AMD, Shi Lei still had 7.2 billion USD in his hands. He started to consider building the headquarters of Mirage Technology.

It was necessary for Mirage Technology Group to have its own headquarters. Renting a headquarters would be very disadvantageous for Mirage Technology Group and Dream Entertainment's global progress.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if a global company did not even have its own headquarters?

If Mirage Technology Group built its own headquarters, not only would it improve the company's image, but it would also increase the company's security. The company's security would be further expanded to the periphery of the company. Mirage Technology Group's security was very important because with Mirage Technology Group's global fame, there would definitely be commercial spies and even government spies from all over the world.

The Jade Building's security measures alone would definitely not be able to defend against those professional spies. Even if the behavior dynamic recognition engine and Izur could control the monitoring system at any time and place, what if the other party directly used a power failure strategy?

The power supply system of the Jade Building was integrated except for the main server in the basement, which had an independent power supply. Once the power was cut, the monitoring system would have a loophole. Moreover, the other party could also cut off the independent power supply of the main server and put Izur into hibernation.

Only by building its own headquarters could it build a backup power supply. Even if the external power supply was cut off, the internal power supply could still allow all the security systems to operate normally.

The more Shi Lei thought about it, the more excited he became. He could not wait to build Mirage Technology Group's own headquarters. However, the location of Mirage Technology Group's headquarters needed to be carefully selected. The geographical location of Shuanghu was not ideal. It would be abandoned by Shi Lei first.

Shuanghu was located at the edge of Shuangqing City. The transportation was not that convenient. It would take more than half an hour to get to Shuanghu from Beiyu International Airport without any traffic jam, not to mention if there was a traffic jam.

Shi Lei's first choice in his mind was Beiyu, Beijiang, and Zhongyu. These three areas were the core areas of Shuangqing City. Although Nanan, Shapu, and the other areas were also the core areas, the traffic jam in Shuangqing City was more serious, especially in the core area of the main city. The rail transportation could not relieve the traffic jam.

In Mu Shuang's office, Mu Shuang's face was full of smiles. After successfully acquiring AMD, Mu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Lei suddenly said, "Shuangshuang, where do you think we should build our own headquarters?" As soon as Shi Lei finished speaking, he realized his mistake. Lingyumo was clearly sitting next to him, and he had never called her by the nickname "Shuangshuang."

Lingyumo secretly pinched Shi Lei's waist. Shi Lei looked calm and coughed, pretending that nothing had happened.

Mu Shuang felt warmth in her heart. After all, she had a place in Shi Lei's heart. Even if it was shared with other women, Shi Lei had her in his heart, didn't he?

"Shi Lei, are you going to build Mirage Technology's headquarters?" Mu Shuang frowned and said, "If we build our headquarters in Shuangqing City, we won't be able to back off easily if anything happens in the future!"

Last time, under the pressure of the Internet Entertainment Review Department, Dream Entertainment almost completely withdrew from the Xia Xia market. If they built their headquarters, it would not be easy to withdraw from the Xia Xia market.

As the saying goes, the monk can run away, but the temple can't run away. If Mirage Technology had a headquarters in Shuangqing City, they would inevitably be restrained and would not be able to deal with problems as extreme as before.
