The black-skinned spokeswoman at the White Palace actually said that it infringed on future patents.

Xing Baohua needs to use this new term. Once the wafer fab is ready to produce, Xing Baohua will go around the world suing semiconductor companies for infringing on Da Mi Future's patents.

We need to make this word famous all over the world first.

Tell those capitalists that when Xing Baohua gets down to his old tricks, there's basically no limit to how low he can go.

Bob Johnson noticed that Xing Baohua didn't reply and had an unnatural expression on his face, probably feeling that Xing Baohua was too arrogant.

Well, Xing Baohua certainly has the power to be arrogant; no one present is as rich as him.

Bob Johnson, representing Newport, came to drive up the price. If Xing Baohua doesn't follow suit, how can they compete? Newport's wafer fab is unlikely to spend 50 million pounds to buy ACOM.

Their factory has its own chip design department. There's no need to acquire another company, and besides, ACOM isn't worth that much.

The scene seemed to fall silent.

After more than a minute, Hauser, the technology founder, frowned and asked Bob Johnson, "Are you guys serious?"

Hauser was completely unaware of the additional competitors, which is why he asked that question.

The question was very direct, almost like a slap in the face. If Bob Johnson was serious, then Hauser would have to be serious, after all, fifty million pounds was double what Xing Baohua was offering.

Moreover, the Newport wafer fab can also operate in the same way that Xing Baohua described.

At this point, apart from Hauser, who was interested in the development of chips, no one else cared about the development of chips; they were all thinking about how much money they could get for their shares.

Even a venture capitalist who is not an expert in venture capital will do.

Whose money isn't money?

Bob Johnson didn't answer Hauser's question. Instead, he asked Xing Baohua, "Mr. Xing, you're about to lose a chip design company that's very important to you. Don't you feel regret?"

Xing Baohua said with a smile, then shook his head: "No regrets! There are so many design companies in the world, and I have my own chip design lab. What do I have to regret? Hauser, your company is about to have its money taken away by these greedy people. They've never cared about the product. How about coming to my department as a consultant?"

"Don't worry, you won't take any of ACOM's chip solutions with you. We'll jointly produce new chips. How about I give you ten million pounds sterling in consulting fees every year, plus a share of the patent royalties?"

These words were like slaps to everyone's faces, resounding loudly.

You acquire the company, I acquire the founder.

Furthermore, the founders have fewer constraints, unless Newport restricts Hauser from working for other semiconductor companies during the acquisition.

Even consultants won't do.

But if that were the case, Hauser would go from being the founder to being a worker, and in a way that's tied to someone. Who would want to be tied to someone like that?

With just a few words, Xing Baohua broke down Newport's and his shareholders' petty tricks.

This has at least led to a polarization between technology and shareholders, creating huge conflicts.
