Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 606 Four Alliances with Great Fighting Power (Two in One)

The new situation of HTC made Fang Zhuo, who guessed that Google has already made the latest move, start to think about other alliance partners.

This is out of absolute respect to Google.

However, there are only a few well-known and suitable ones in the market. After much deliberation, he still decided on Motorola.

Motorola's past is so glorious, it is the previous generation of Nokia, the current mobile phone king.

Unfortunately, megalodonia is always an unavoidable problem. When Motorola faced a new communication standard, its approach was not to actively integrate, but to try to delay the GSM standard proposed by Europe.

This is easy to understand, because Motorola occupies the largest mobile phone market in the first generation of communication standards, and its instinct is to maintain its own interests.

It seems that Sony wants to guard the walkman internally and is unwilling to actively explore the development of mp3.

In addition, Calvin III, Motorola's third-generation family leader, failed to effectively lead the giant company in the right direction. He may be considered to have a good ability.

However, at the end of the last century, he will compete with... GM's Jack Welch, Microsoft's Bill Gates, Apple's Jobs, IBM's Louis Gerstner, Intel's Andy Grove, Cisco's John Chambers and more.

It is wrong to be mediocre, and if you do not advance, you will retreat.

For Fang Zhuo, in addition to being acquired by Google to build a patent moat for the Android camp in the future, there is another thing that Fang Zhuo is engaged in: the Iridium Project-sending 66 satellites into the sky to achieve global communications.

The investment in this plan is as high as 56 billion US dollars, while Motorola itself has only paid 10 billion US dollars.

How It Got Nearly $50 Billion From Investment Firms…

This is simply great magic!

When Fang Zhuo thought about it, there was only deep admiration left in his heart.

Of course, the Iridium project successfully sent satellites into the sky, but Iridium filed for bankruptcy in less than a year after its official commercial operation. In 66, 01 satellites were bought by a private equity firm for 2500 million. Less than 1% of previous investment.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Motorola lost mobile phones to Nokia, central processing unit to Intel, and digital signal processor to Texas Instruments, it still occupies the second share in the global mobile phone market.

Because it was relatively late, and it was necessary to sort out ideas and find a middleman, Fang Zhuo contacted Ed Sandel, the current CEO of Motorola, only the next day.

Sandel is the first professional manager after the termination of the leadership of the Motorola family. He had a brilliant experience in the US SUN company. When he came to Motorola, the first mobile phone Razr was released and sold well all over the world, making the company’s market value hit 420 billion US dollars. .

Although this Razr mobile phone was the mobile phone developed by the organization before Calvin III left, Sandel just got a huge reputation.

Things like prestige are the key to the communication between Fang Zhuo and Sandor.

He had never dealt with this person before, and he had never met him before. This time, he briefly introduced the situation and extended a warm invitation.

"We at Yike, Stringer's Sony, and Lee Ki-tae's Samsung Electronics have all decided to operate the Android mobile phone system together."

"In addition, I also contacted mobile phone manufacturers such as HTC, and they are also very interested in the Android platform."

Fang Zhuo said enthusiastically: "However, how can this matter be done without the big brother Motorola?"

He took a breath, and said decisively: "Eco and Sony are already in San Francisco, and Samsung will arrive soon. I think about it, and I must invite Motorola to host the overall situation!"

Let's join in the grand event!

Take the lead!

Shemo is who!

After listening to the invitation from Dongfang President, Sandor didn't think there was anything wrong. He was a straightforward person, and he was not reserved on the phone. He asked, "It sounds like you are dissatisfied with the current mobile phone market structure? Are you so interested in the Android system?" confidence?"

"I personally think that Nokia's system hinders the further development of the mobile phone industry." Fang Zhuo replied, "My colleagues and other manufacturers believe that Android has great potential, and this potential requires everyone to unite to realize it."

Sandor heard the name "Nokia" and agreed: "Okay, then I will fly to San Francisco tonight or tomorrow to have a look."

Contact is over.

Zhou Yongming from HTC did not come, and Sandor from Motorola was replaced.

Although the talks have not yet started, the small league of Yike + Sony + Samsung + Motorola seems to have begun to take shape.

This afternoon, Fang Zhuo called Lu Bin while waiting for the arrival of Lee Kitae from Samsung Electronics in the hotel, and informed him of the guests who were coming to inspect the Android company.

"What? Motorola?!"

Rubin was surprised: "They also want to support Android?"

Without waiting for an answer, he asked, "Who wants to bring someone here?"

"Sander, CEO." Fang Zhuo replied.

Rubin was surprised again: "Sandel came here directly? He attaches great importance to us!"

Fang Zhuo thought about it, and said truthfully: "I value it, and I value it, but it's also because the president of Yike called him, and because there will be Stringer from Sony and Kitae Lee from Samsung Electronics here."

This is the advantage of having a company head who is willing to liaise in the middle. The specifications are very high, and the intention can be finalized quickly.

Rubin was numb in surprise: "Will Stringer and Lee Kitae arrive? Tomorrow? Oh, this, this is really good news."

"Stringer will arrive tomorrow morning. Li Kitai should be on his way to the hotel. I want to meet Li Kitai first. If you want, you can also come to the hotel." Fang Zhuo said. very close.

Lu Bin thought about it and said, "I'm not very good at this kind of scene, Mr. Fang, you should do it."

He paused, and then said again: "Mr. Fang, I really didn't expect to be able to promote the interest of hardware manufacturers so quickly. The progress in this area in the past few days has been more than our past [-] months."

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "We have a saying in China called 'the art industry has specialization', Rubin, I admire your development of the Android system, besides, what can be confirmed now is only the investment of Yike and Sony, the investment of Samsung and Motorola Whether or not the interest can be implemented depends on the performance of Android.”

Lu Bin pondered: "Mr. Fang, I told you that when we contacted Samsung before, they were clearly developing an operating system. I am not worried about this, but as far as I know, Motorola is developing There may be competition in doing Linux-based systems.”

"Every investment in an Android company, and every interest in the Android system, is a bargaining chip. Rubin, I have confidence in Android." Fang Zhuo showed optimism, was silent for another second, and then said, "I have confidence in you Also confident."

Rubin finally couldn't bear it when he heard this.

He said: "Mr. Fang, there is one thing I need to tell you. Google just informed me that they have full rights to acquire Android."

Fang Zhuo pondered: "Acquisition? Google is also interested? This is a good thing."

Lu Bin asked in surprise: "Mr. Fang, are you not afraid that I will sell the company to Google?"

"If you sell it to Google, your Android will not be open source?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"No, it will definitely be open source, and Google has such a commitment." Rubin replied.

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "That's fine. Even if it is acquired by Google, Android will still be developed, it will still be open source, and I can still use Android phones. What is there to be afraid of? As I said just now, one more company , Android will have one more hope."

"I certainly hope that Yike can help Android, but it will not prevent other companies from helping Android."

"Android must be open source, do I just want to block it?"

When Lu Bin heard what President Dongfang said, he suddenly felt a little ashamed. He didn't say that he contacted Google on his own initiative.

He sighed: "Boss Fang, you are really Android's confidant."

"Rubin, remember what I told you, I want to use a mobile phone with free software." Fang Zhuo changed the topic when he said this, "However, I have to say that although Google is powerful, it has a great impact on Android. Is the help really comparable to that of our Yike, Sony, Samsung, and Motorola?"

Rubin couldn't answer, his mind was already confused.

Suddenly they invest, sometimes they buy, and sometimes they are surrounded by well-known mobile phone manufacturers.

I thought I still had some business ability, but this comparison, let's do research and development honestly!

He was silent for a long time, and said, "I need to think carefully."

"It's just a normal business competition. There's no need to hide it." Fang Zhuo smiled. "I know Larry from Google, and I can communicate with him directly if necessary."

Rubin became more and more ashamed, looking at the situation of others.

"Tomorrow afternoon, our four companies can have a meeting with Android. I hope you can prepare an introduction to the system. It's not just about investment." Fang Zhuo said solemnly, "It's also about everyone's views on Android, maybe it's The beginning of the future ecology."

Rubin solemnly agreed.

Fang Zhuo ended the call.

He played with his mobile phone, sat in the waiting area on the first floor of the hotel, and waited for the arrival of Lee Kitae from Samsung Electronics. He considered the current situation of the four companies and evaluated their attitude towards this time.

Samsung: Let me see if there is any fun to join in.

Sony: No money anyway, I'll see what it looks like.

Motorola: A group of people are thinking about the mobile phone system, so you are also worthy of competing with Nokia?
And... Yike: How to sell the other three.

These are the four alliances with great combat effectiveness!
At the very least, it looked extremely combative!

"Mr. Big, Mr. Big."

Fang Zhuo's thoughts were interrupted by an immature child's voice with unclear enunciation.

He turned his head to see that Ren Dongxian, who he met in the hotel last time, was holding the other side of the sofa and smiling at himself.

Fang Zhuo waved at the children, looked around half a circle, and saw Li Fuzhen not far away was also smiling.

"Mr. Ren Xiao, what a coincidence."

He greeted Lim Dong-hyun who trotted forward.

Ren Dongxian was very happy to hear such a title again, sat on the sofa in a serious manner, and said, "Mom said, this place is also a member of the Leading World Group, and we are here to visit."

Li Fuzhen came over, sat across from him, said hello softly, and explained a little more: "President Li of our Samsung Electronics is coming to San Francisco, so I will stop by this hotel to have a look."

Fang Zhuo smiled: "I invited him."

Li Fuzhen was surprised and said: "It turns out that this is the case. Will Mr. Fang and Samsung want to cooperate?"

"I don't know if it's cooperation or competition. I hope it's the former." Fang Zhuo said flatly.

Li Fuzhen listened to this neither soft nor hard words, because he had been influenced by Samsung since he was a child, but he replied: "Cooperation often leads to greater prospects, but Samsung is not afraid of competition."

Fang Zhuo smiled: "I hope Chairman Lee Kitae will talk to me like this."

Li Fuzhen was stunned. She really didn't know what business relationship there was between Samsung Electronics and Yike, but considering the confidence of the richest man in the neighboring country in front of her, she didn't dare to take the liberty to express her position offside.

"Mr. Big, what are you talking about in Chinese?" Ren Dongxian couldn't understand Chinese, and looked up in dissatisfaction.

"We're talking about the powerful Samsung." Fang Zhuo patted the kid's arm.

Ren Dongxian said: "Mom said you are a very powerful person, even more powerful than my uncle, is it true?"

Li Fuzhen didn't expect his own evaluation to appear in front of the parties in such a way, and his face turned a little red.

Fang Zhuo glanced at the three-star eldest princess opposite, and said, "I don't know your uncle, but I admire your grandfather."

"You also know how powerful my grandfather is?" Ren Dongxian asked curiously.

"Of course, Mr. Lee Kun-hee's Samsung is respectable. Speaking of Samsung's power, I felt it a while ago. I have a friend who makes TVs and needs to import panel screens from Samsung. As a result, Samsung's factory building has one day Suddenly it caught fire." Fang Zhuo said eloquently, chatting about Samsung's monopoly on panels.

Ren Dongxian listened with gusto, and Li Fuzhen couldn't help but feel a little chill when he heard this indifferent tone and knew that he was leading the alliance with Huaxia Enterprise behind the scenes.

"Samsung is a serious opponent, and even I need to be taken seriously."

Fang Zhuo finally ended with these words.

Ren Dongxian blinked and blinked, always feeling that something was wrong.

Before he could speak, Lee Ki-tae, chairman of Samsung Electronics, and his team, who flew from Europe, finally arrived at the hotel.

Fang Zhuo got up, patted the kid's head, nodded to Li Fuzhen, and walked towards Li Kitai.

Li Jitai quickened his pace, stretched out his right hand, and shook hands with the president of Yike and the richest man in the neighboring country extremely politely.

Although never dealt with, both titles are worthy of respect.

After Li Jitai exchanged greetings, he saw Li Fuzhen again, and was surprised to find that she actually knew Mr. Fang.

"Mr. Fang, let's go to the meeting room and talk." Li Jitai didn't care about taking a break, and wanted to hear Yike Fang's arrangement for the Android company.

Fang Zhuo said while walking: "Motorola's Sandel agreed to my invitation and will arrive in San Francisco tomorrow. I think that the Android open source system will be a development opportunity for all mobile phone manufacturers."

Li Jitai silently chewed "Motorola" in his heart, nodded, and said: "Thank you Mr. Fang for inviting us. Samsung has always been interested in Android. If Yike, Sony, and Motorola are willing to promote the development of the Android system, it will be a big deal again." Nothing better."

"Yes, this is exactly what I was looking forward to." Fang Zhuo was serious, "Because of this, an influential mobile phone manufacturer like Samsung cannot be absent."

Li Jitai nodded slightly, as he should.
