Chapter 789

.

AMD had more than 60,555 employees around the world. If Dream Entertainment insisted on moving AMD's headquarters to Xia after taking over the company, what would happen to AMD's employees?

Especially the employees in Lijian. Could it be that they would be fired?

In Lijian Province, it was not easy to fire employees. The union and unemployment compensation would be a big problem. Even the employees' protests would be a big problem.

The reporter from BBC News asked such a sharp question. Shi Lei was slightly taken aback and did not answer immediately. Shi Lei did not really want to destroy AMD. If he went overboard and caused AMD's employees to go on a large-scale strike or destroy the company's assets, that would not be a good thing.

The reporters started to get excited when they saw Shi Lei fall into silence. Once Shi Lei said something that he should not say, they would definitely report it.

The press conference was silent for nearly three minutes. Mu Shuang, who was standing behind Shi Lei, clenched her fists and broke out in cold sweat for Shi Lei. However, she could not answer for Shi Lei at this time. If she answered for Shi Lei, those crafty reporters would definitely fabricate something like Dream Entertainment's perfunctory report.

"Ahem!" Shi Lei coughed twice and said naively, "The reporter from BBC News asked a question that I can't answer for the time being. You all know what I said just now. I think all of you know what I mean. As for the arrangement of AMD's employees, I feel that now is not the time to discuss it. However, I feel that AMD's employees can rest assured that no matter what the situation is, they will be properly arranged. "

After pausing for a moment, Shi Lei continued, "I still don't know the situation of AMD's senior management for the time being. However, before Dream Entertainment makes an official decision on AMD, our company will only send an inspector over. AMD's work will continue as usual. "

Although the reporter from BBC News was not satisfied with Shi Lei's answer, Shi Lei misled everyone once again. He made everyone think that the arrangement of AMD's employees and senior management still needed to be decided by Xia Xia's government.

Shi Lei believed that these reporters, who wanted to see the world in chaos, would write about the acquisition of AMD by Xia Xia's government.

The press conference went on for almost an hour during the Q&A session. When it was eight o 'clock in the evening, Shi Lei rejected the reporters' questions.

"Thank you for coming. Dream Entertainment's press conference is officially over. We have arranged a thank-you banquet on the third floor of Cui Hu Hotel. If you are interested, please use your press conference entry pass to enter the thank-you banquet. "Shi Lei politely replied.

In the face of the media's attitude, Shi Lei changed from his initial arrogance to his current modesty and politeness. For this group of uncrowned kings, using them was the best way to deal with them.

Although Shi Lei sent out invitations to all the reporters present, none of them attended the thank-you banquet. They quickly left the press conference hall and prepared to rush a press release. They wanted to report the situation of Dream Entertainment's press conference as soon as possible.

There was too much explosive news in this press conference!

Shi Lei brought all the senior management of Mirui Technology's subsidiaries to the third floor of the Green Lake Hotel. All the employees of Mirui Technology's subsidiaries were present for the celebratory banquet on the third floor of the Green Lake Hotel.

When Shi Lei and the company's senior management walked into the third-floor hall, all the employees of Mirui Technology applauded. There was a small stage in the third-floor hall.

This small stage was usually used to host wedding banquets. Now, it was used as a podium. Shi Lei walked to the podium. The senior management of Mirui Technology's subsidiaries were still standing behind Shi Lei.

Shi Lei held the microphone. Before speaking, he glanced at the employees present and said directly, "Hello, everyone. I believe you are all hungry!"

"Hahaha!" The scene was immediately filled with laughter.

Shi Lei said casually, "Today, Mirui Technology has achieved great success. We can't do without the help of everyone here. Therefore, after discussion with Mr. Mu, all the employees of Mirui Technology will have their bonuses doubled this month! If there are any employees who have their bonuses deducted because of being late, leaving early, absenteeism, or work delays, the punishment of having their bonuses deducted will also be cancelled. Everyone's bonuses will be doubled this month. "

"Oh yeah!" A young man who was sitting not far from Shi Lei suddenly shouted loudly.

When Shi Lei looked over, the young man lowered his head with a red face. The rest of the young people at the table looked at the blushing young man with amusement.

"Don't be happy too early! If your bonus is deducted due to some personal reasons in the following period of time, your bonus will still be deducted. So, don't be late, leave early, or absenteeism because your bonuses will not be deducted. That is absolutely not allowed. "Shi Lei deliberately said seriously.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Shi Lei smiled and said, "Then, everyone, enjoy your meal. I won't disturb your time and celebration!" After that, Shi Lei directly led the senior management of Mirui Technology's subsidiaries to a separate private room.

It was not that Shi Lei did not want to sit in the hall with his employees. If he really sat in the hall, he was afraid that most of the employees would feel uncomfortable even eating. This was the constraint caused by the difference in status.

The staff celebration banquet of Mirui Technology Group lasted from eight o 'clock to ten o' clock. At nine-thirty in the evening, Lijian Province's Nasdaq Stock Exchange officially opened.

Although most of the reporters had not officially reported on the situation between Dream Entertainment and AMD, and did not report on Dream Entertainment's press conference, the well-informed people had already known about the entire transcript of Dream Entertainment's press conference.

Therefore, when the Nasdaq Stock Exchange opened, AMD's stock was in for a tragedy!

The fixed investors who originally held AMD's stock were betting on Dream Entertainment's acquisition of AMD. They were hoping that Dream Entertainment would lead AMD to glory, at least for a short period of time.

However, Dream Entertainment's press conference did indeed announce the acquisition of AMD and that they would have absolute control of the company. However, the outcome was not what the investors had predicted. Instead, there were some unexpected circumstances.

In layman's terms, they guessed the beginning but not the ending!

For example, during the press conference, Shi Lei repeatedly hinted that the power behind the acquisition of AMD might not be Dream Entertainment, but Xia Xia's government. They were only using Dream Entertainment to acquire AMD.

It was not impossible for Xia Xia's government to acquire AMD. Xia Xia had always wanted to develop his own computing chip. However, the progress and results could only be laughed off with a 'haha'.

Since the path of self-development was not feasible, it was hard to guarantee that Xia Xia's government would not have the wrong idea and directly acquire a computing chip company. Acquiring a computing chip company was definitely a good idea. Although it would not have the title of 'self-development', it could directly control all the technology and conduct a second round of research and development.

The future of AMD's acquisition was very uncertain. In addition, Dream Entertainment's news that they would not use AMD's second-generation personal game server made AMD's prospects even more gloomy.

In particular, Shi Lei announced that AMD might move its headquarters to Xia Xia's region. This was simply shocking news for AMD's investors.

With all these factors added together, Dream Entertainment's identity as the savior collapsed!

Dream Entertainment was not the savior of AMD. Instead, it was the executioner and the butcher! It raised the butcher's knife high and became an accomplice of Xia Xia's government, helping Xia Xia's government to ruthlessly trample on AMD.

When the Nasdaq stock market opened, AMD's stock plunged. Even though there were no circulating shares on the market for the time being, the market environment was not optimistic about AMD's stock. In other words, the Nasdaq stock market was not optimistic about AMD's stock, which was about to fall into the hands of Xia Xia.

At the close of yesterday's market, AMD's closing price was 2.00 USD per share. Today, at the beginning of the market, the stock price plunged by two USD per share and continued to fall.

Looking at AMD's stock price plummeting, the investors were the most heartbroken. This situation was not what they had imagined. They had imagined that Dream Entertainment would take over AMD and then announce that AMD would produce the second-generation personal game server for Dream Entertainment. This would drive AMD's stock price up. However, the reality was the complete opposite.

At ten o 'clock in the evening, half an hour after the Nasdaq stock market opened, AMD's stock price had fallen to 8.72 USD per share, which was a full drop of 9.73 USD per share. Even at 8.72 USD per share, AMD's stock price continued to fall as if there was no end to it.

In the face of such a cruel market, a certain investor who had been quoted by Mu Shuang and owned 8% of AMD's stock was filled with regret!

Dream Entertainment's asking price was 85 USD per share. The current stock price was 8.72 USD per share. Based on the current fall, it would soon fall to 8.5 USD per share. This was a ten times difference in income!

At ten twenty o 'clock in the evening, at the celebratory dinner, Shi Lei drank half a glass of wine under the persuasion of the crowd. For someone like Shi Lei who could drink half a glass, half a glass of wine was enough to make him blush. Moreover, under the influence of alcohol, Shi Lei's emotions were a little high.

Mu Shuang and Lingyumo had no choice but to send Shi Lei back to Jingya Court. The two girls supported Shi Lei, one on his left and one on his right. Shi Lei's head was slightly tilted. No one noticed that the corner of his mouth had curled up into a meaningful smile …
