Qcom should not bribe anyone to get this deal one. It will employees more discontent with the company.

NXP will be a huge albatross around Qualcomm's neck, and work the agreements Q made not to cut NXP headcount, all the refund position trimming will come from Q.

Qcom needs to be bribe as many Chinese officials as they can to get this deal done. This will be found out and a fine will come afterwards, but it's going to be in the millions and no one can split the company. The stock price won't go down because of the fine (investors just see that as the cost of doing business and it's a one time thing).
This is why I ask. Let's just say I don't share his optimism: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/26/qualcomm-ceo-steve-mollenkopf-china-us-tensions-are-stalling-nxp-deal.html
