Chapter 6375
The Charismatic Charlie Wade
The reserve price will be increased to 3.3 billion US dollars.
For every additional year of the payment period,
The reserve price will increase by 10% on the basis of 3 billion US dollars;
If the payment of the acquisition money needs to be paid in batches and installments,
And there are performance bets and non-compete agreements,
Then the reserve price will start from 4 billion US dollars,
And 2 billion US dollars must be paid in the first installment.
Everyone reached a consensus, and CEO Carl Lucas suppressed his excitement,
And waited for Steveâs arrival in the office.
After arriving in New York, Steve rushed to Houston almost non-stop.
Originally, he could let Carl take the core team to New York to meet him,
But in order to learn more about this company and to better win peopleâs hearts,
He decided to come in person.
After all, acquiring this company is only Marvenâs initial requirement.
It is most important to keep this company stable and controllable so that Marven can continue to operate.
When Steve, accompanied by a group of bodyguards and entourage, arrived at the companyâs headquarters in Houston,
All executives, including the CEO, lined up in front of the helipad on the rooftop.
Three helicopters arrived one after another.
Since there was only one helipad, the first two helicopters landed and waited for the passengers to get off before taking off again.
The two helicopters were all filled with bodyguards, nearly 20 people in total.
When the third helicopter landed,
Steve and several of his assistants got off the helicopter together.
CEO Carl wanted to come forward but was stopped by several bodyguards a few meters away.
After the bodyguards searched him, he was allowed to approach Steve.
Seeing Steve, Carl said excitedly:
âMr. Routhchild, itâs a great honor to meet you.â
âI am the CEO of Skyline, Carl Lucas, you can call me Carl!â
Steve nodded slightly, shook hands with him, and then said:
âHello Carl, I think you already know my intention,â
âLetâs find a meeting room and have a good talk.â
Carl immediately said: âOkay, Mr. Routhchild,â
âPlease follow me, I will take you to the meeting room.â
Steve smiled and walked out,
And a group of bodyguards immediately surrounded him and Carl,
And came to the top floor meeting room of the office building.
After the two came to the meeting room,
Other executives could only be allowed to enter after being searched one by one.
In order to prevent too many people from being too chaotic,
Carl only brought two people to the meeting,
One was the companyâs chief technology officer.
And the other was the companyâs chief financial officer.
After Steve sat down, he said to Carl,
âCarl, please give me a brief introduction to your company.â
Carl nodded and said respectfully,
âMr. Routhchild, we have nearly 800 employees in Skyline.â
âThe building you are in is our headquarters.â
âThere are about 500 employees working here.â
âOur servers are also here.â
âThis building is our own property.â
âThe current market value is about 70 million US dollars;â
âSkyline currently has a total of 29 satellites in orbit.â
âWe have reached a cooperation with SpaceX.â
âNext month, three more Sky satellites will be launched together with their Starlink satellites.â
âThere will be three more in the first quarter of next year.â
âAccording to our original goal,â
âThe number of satellites will be increased to 45 within next year.â
Steve asked him,
âHow is your current revisit capability?â
Carl said, âUnder normal circumstances,â
âFour to five revisits a day are not a big problem.â
âUnder special circumstances, special targets can be revisited 20 times a day,â
âBut this also depends on the targetâs illumination time.â
âOur satellites are excellent in the civilian grade,â
âAnd the accuracy can currently reach the meter level,â
âBut the imaging has a high demand for light.â
âIn weak light or even at night, basically nothing valuable can be captured.â
Steve nodded, and asked,
âAre you shooting every day?â
âIs the data updated every day?â
âYes,â Carl said,
âLet our chief technology officer give you a detailed introduction.â
The chief technology officer pushed his glasses and explained,
âWhen our satellite orbits the earth,â
âIt will take pictures of the places it passes through according to the predetermined orbit.â
âEach area will be numbered, and the shooting will be carried out one by one according to the numbered plots,â
âAnd then handed over to the background for stitching and synthesis.â
âThe satellite will choose whether to shoot according to the light, weather, and visibility of the place it passes through.â
âOur CEO just introduced to you that our technology and hardware are not as good as the keyhole of the US military,â
âSo generally speaking, if the place it passes through is in the evening or at night,â
âWe will not take pictures; we will not take pictures in cloudy and thunderstorm weather;â
âGenerally, we will only take pictures when the light is good and there is no cloud or fog.â
âThe pictures taken will be automatically screened,â
âAnd only those that meet the clarity standards will be allowed to enter the database;â
âAfter entering the database, the filmed material will be sealed according to the timestamp.â
âAfter the time limit fixed by the security department has passed,â
âThe system will automatically replace the previous image material.â
âHowever, the surface area of the earth is very large.â
âUnder normal circumstances, we need at least two months to conduct a qualified and comprehensive shooting of the land around the world.â
âTherefore, our database can also provide users with any piece of land in the world.â
âChanges every few months in the past nearly ten years.â
âThis is a paid function on our own software and a source of income for our self-operated business;â
