"I think it's more appropriate for me to explain this." Li Rui had already guessed that Teresa would ask such a question.

Although each Prime Minister of Eagle Country has a very fickle attitude towards Hua Country, there is generally a general trend.

Compared with Cameron, who is now sitting in the position of Prime Minister, Theresa has a relatively open attitude towards the country. This attitude lasted from the time she became Home Secretary until she resigned as Prime Minister.

But regardless of her attitude towards Hua, as a politician, Teresa must take into account the variables brought about by the presence of Hua in this acquisition.

Teresa made a gesture of invitation.

Li Ruidao: "I appear here mainly because of my personal relationship with Huang Renxun. Although he is from the Magnesium country and I am from the Hua country, we share the same blood and believe in the same culture. When we were in Silicon Valley, because

Investment relationship: We hit it off and became very good friends. I heard that he was interested in acquiring ARM, and I also became very interested in it. I went around to attract various investments for him. Some of these funds did come from China, but they were all private individuals.

Normal investments by companies and funds will only be used as financial investments and will not have future voting rights in NVIDIA. These domestic factors will not affect the business philosophy of NVIDIA or ARM in the future, so please don’t worry."

Teresa nodded and said: "I accept your explanation, but all sources of funds from China, as well as the role of this part of the funds in the acquisition, and whether it will have an impact on Nvidia and ARM, need to be further investigated.

Investigation. If we find any problems in this, it may be a reason to reject the acquisition."

"No problem." Li Rui had already prepared. Since he dared to disclose this matter, he was not afraid of people from the Eagle Kingdom coming to investigate.

Even if you send James Bond, you won't be able to find anything wrong!

Li Rui continued: "In fact, there are some elements of China in this acquisition, which will make the world aware of Eagle Country's open attitude. This can also show from one side Eagle Country's attraction to foreign investors and Eagle Country's interest in

Overseas capital upholds the concept of welcome.”

Theresa was thoughtful.

Li Rui struck while the iron was hot: "If this acquisition succeeds, it will be the largest investment in Eagle Country in history, proving that Eagle Country is a country worth investing in. With Nvidia's investment, ARM will bring technological leaps and employment."

The number will also increase rapidly, which will definitely bring the attention of many technology companies to Eagle Country!"

Theresa was indeed vigorous and resolute, saying she would only give him twenty minutes, and she gave him only twenty minutes. However, when she left, she shook hands with Li Rui and showed a different proactive attitude than when they first met.

"Eagle Country will seriously consider the feasibility of this acquisition. In any case, thank you for your optimism about Eagle Country's investment environment."

No one can tell how useful this meeting with Teresa will be, but soon Li Rui got a piece of advice from Tony.

After listening to Li Rui recount the details of his meeting with Teresa, Tony gave Li Rui a message.

"Teresa's husband Philip is the general manager of Eagle Deutsche Asset Management. He is a very respected banker and financier. This company's business includes financial services and financial consulting, and it will also take on some larger projects.

A cross-border acquisition case. I think for such a big thing as Nvidia’s acquisition of ARM, you really need the help of a consulting company that is very proficient in the legal and financial terms of the European continent and the Eagle Country..."

When Li Rui heard this, he was very happy.

He is familiar with this number!

There are such things as unspoken rules all over the world. The difference is that some are open and some are covert, some are direct and some are covered with legal cloaks.

Deep down, it’s all the same fucking thing!

With Tony's guidance, Li Rui immediately took action. In just two days, he signed a consulting contract with Deutsche Asset Management, paid a consulting fee of 5 million eagle pounds, and asked them to help pass the acquisition.

Tony's side was 5 million, Teresa's side was another 5 million, and 10 million pounds was invested before the acquisition was even completed.

But this is all small money. As long as things can be done, let alone 10 million pounds, even if 100 million pounds are thrown in, Li Rui will not blink an eye!

…

In the blink of an eye, it's another weekend, and the schedule is full.

Saturday is the last game of the Eagle League this season. Crystal Palace plays against Peterborough United at home. Although Crystal Palace's ranking has been determined, this is the first time Li Rui has watched a home game after acquiring the team, which is still meaningful.

of.

And Sunday is Swift's global tour concert in London. She specially gave Li Rui two front-row tickets, and Li Rui also said that he would definitely go to support it.

Before that, Li Rui went to DEEPMIND first.

After several days of internal discussions, DEEPMIND once again sent an invitation to R Incubator, asking them to come to the company for further talks.

Li Rui had a hunch that this might be the last negotiation before the acquisition. Whether it can succeed or not depends on this time.

As soon as he entered DEEPMIND, Li Rui felt a different atmosphere.

This time, not only the three founders were present, but also the company's chief researchers, including Graves, Kavuukuoglu and Muni, attended the negotiation, which looked very formal.

After all, we have communicated several times and everyone is familiar with each other. There is no need for small talk or foreplay, and we can go straight to the topic.

"After careful consideration, we believe that R Incubator is more in line with our values. We are currently inclined to conduct further negotiations with R Incubator. We have several opinions on the acquisition conditions you previously proposed." Suleiman spoke first on behalf of DEEPMIND.

What Li Rui didn't know was that Legg took Graves and Kavukuoglu to Google a few days ago to conduct an in-depth investigation.

It was this journey that decided the idea of ​​DEEPMIND.

Before coming to Google, Legg always believed that it was the most technologically advanced company in the world. The Google Brain project was well-known and must have extraordinary technology. However, when he came to Google, he discovered that the facts were completely different from what he had imagined.

Legg and others were surprised to find that the deep learning version currently used by Google was specially designed for Google's DISTBELIEF software and hardware system, named WOJNET. This is completely different from the open source version system used by DEEPMIND. If they want to convert their research to

The new system will consume a lot of energy.

What is even more difficult for Legg to understand is that the researchers at Google Brain actually use some GPU machines that can be placed under the table. They look like the kind of computers used by gamers, rather than specially built for deep learning.

Special purpose computer.

The head of Google Brain even told Legg: There is no need to use so many GPU computers...

If he hadn't heard Li Rui's proposal about the data computing center, perhaps Legg would have endured it.
Chapter completed!
