20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2124 Tong Xiaoyu picks up the plane

If you look back carefully on the BlackBerry matter, you can see that it has been completely tricked.

Last year, BlackBerry executives like Lazaridis had high hopes for this cooperation, and they were so excited that they were dancing for joy.

The first is that Norte, the big goose brother, was at its peak at that time, and BlackBerry was like holding a big fat leg. The second was the supermarket with a population of more than one billion in China. Just thinking about it can make them drool and go crazy.

In order to achieve cooperation, BlackBerry made a lot of concessions, and what makes them happy is that BlackBerry's stock is indeed as predicted, and the rising tide will lift all boats.

In March of this year, Lazaridis and several major shareholders made a very wrong decision due to misjudgment. They pledged stock loans to conduct a nearly [-] million yuan repurchase of BlackBerry stock that was circulating in the market. reverse repurchase.

Then came the global Internet stock crash in April, which stunned them.

In order not to be liquidated, they had to try their best to get money and continue to mortgage it to the bank.

The most dangerous time was the end of September and the beginning of October not long ago, when Nokia, ERICSSON, Royal Philips, Siemens, Motorol, and Sun Tzu mobile phone manufacturers, plus Apple, HP, Plam, and IBM, the three weak PAD manufacturers, joined forces. To add insult to injury, BlackBerry's stock price plummeted again, and Lazaridis almost became insolvent by hyping up the recall of Tianyue's future mobile phones.

Later, thanks to the good sales of the Xinyu 180 diamond mobile phone, the stock price surged again.

The problem now is that once Tianyue stops purchasing BlackBerry's RIM 6230 in the future and announces that it will no longer cooperate, it can be seen that if BlackBerry's stock price does not have enough positive support, major shareholders such as Lazaridis will It is only a matter of time before the stocks pledged to banks are destroyed.

But for these proud geese, their stance is their stance. How can they possibly develop some ridiculous diamond phone or flip phone?

If it succumbs, will BlackBerry still be BlackBerry? Is this company still necessary to exist?

Tianyue used BlackBerry to complete its rise in the future. Now it is like a used condom and just wants to throw it away. However, BlackBerry, which was doing research and development honestly and conscientiously in its own yard, provoked everyone, and now it actually Forced into a dilemma.

That's why shareholders like Lazaridis were so excited about Zhao Changan's visit. They wanted to hug Zhao Changan's thigh and shout, "Father, please help me!" '

Including Norte President Luo Shijie, who is deeply in the quagmire, it is not that he does not have this desire.

Because the behemoth Norte was jointly killed by the old Western plutocratic companies, it was very famous in the world. Zhao Changan vaguely remembered that next fall, the price of Norte, which was originally 120 million yuan per share, dropped to less than 10 million yuan, and then it jumped two or three times with great efforts. Years were completely divided.

However, BlackBerry benefited from what happened next year, and the company's stock price soared. On the eve of 07 when Apple emerged, RIM mobile phones became the number one brand in the old market, with the number one market share, reaching an astonishing 48%.

By 09, the world mobile phone market was the year of BlackBerry, ranking fourth behind Nokia and Samsung, accounting for 20% of the market share, surpassing the old brands Motorol, ERICSSON,——

And the calculations here are actually problematic, because BlackBerry did not sell mobile phones in China at that time. For this reason, many people used informal channels to buy RIM series mobile phones in large quantities from abroad, commonly known as parallel imports.

If you exclude the sales of Nokia and Samsung in China, then BlackBerry's global sales have steadily surpassed Samsung's and are close to Nokia's.

However, it was also during the three years from 07 to 09 that Apple bucked the trend with its smartphone ios, Samsung bet on Android and became number one in the world, Motorol failed and Microsoft defected to Google and was sold to lenovo at a low price. Google's Android also barely survived.In the following years, BlackBerry, Nokia, ERICSSON, Royal Philips, Siemens, WAVEGUIDE - all became legends in the field of mobile phones.

Now that Zhao Changan has figured out that major shareholders like Lazaridis are actually pledging, he can't help but have an idea and temptation that is difficult to restrain. However, this kind of pulling chestnuts from the fire requires too high technical capabilities, so now he has some intentions for cooperation. It also became a bit unclear, so I was going to go back and wait a while to take a look.

The competition between the capital market and the business world has always been fierce and bloody intrigues, and there is no room for any kindness or idealism.

-

On December [-], Zhao Changan took the opportunity to return to China.

This time he took the route from Ontario to Yanjing. When he arrived in Yanjing, it was already night.

Tong Xiaoyu went to the airport to greet him.

Knowing that Zhao Changan was tired of traveling and traveling, Tong Xiaoyu did not call a group of people to accompany him for a drink, but just the two of them had a simple meal together.

"Lao Yi was very optimistic about XomoChina before, and signed a confidentiality agreement and a letter of intent for cooperation with them, and planned to inject capital. Since the mobile phone was launched last year, this company has launched six mobile phones, which is quite good. Especially the XGF520 and XGF520 launched this year XG520 has automatic dual-band, full Chinese input, game functions, one card with dual numbers, and can perform data transmission. XG40 is still a popular flip phone (bottom axis rotates). The current data is one month ago Its sales volume is close to [-] units, and it can be said to be on the front line among domestic mobile phone brands."

Tong Xiaoyu and Zhao Changan ate steaming hot pot and explained the current situation: "But Lao Yi doesn't like Xohua's diversified and disorderly expansion, and he is not optimistic about their current diversified computers, monitors, and fax machines. , system integration, microwave communication equipment, e-commerce, a way to do everything. By the way, there are also their old CRT TVs (old-fashioned picture tube TVs), as well as the plasma TVs, LCD panel TVs, and mobile phones that are currently in public relations. What Lao Yi meant was that they should completely separate the mobile phone business, achieve dual holdings with Imagination, and form an independent mobile phone company. However, this was rejected by the other party. They still required that the mobile phone business should not be separated from the parent company, but should only be the parent company. The existence of a subsidiary company, to put it bluntly, is that we want to hold the controlling shareholding, or the two parties will share equal shares in a 50+1 and 50-[-] model.

Just some time ago, the talks were not very ideal. In order to block our ideas, the two major businesses over there have listed mobile phones and computers as pillar industries with equal emphasis on color TV production. This is equivalent to completely blocking 50+1 and the possibility of 50 equal shares.

The old one is very angry! "

Tong Xiaoyu raised her wine glass and said to Zhao Changan with a meaningful smile: "Let's go."

"Ding!"

"Zi~"

Zhao Changan drank the glass of wine and said to Tong Xiaoyu a little uncertainly: "Do you mean that today, Brother Tong, you came to greet me, not just on behalf of yourself?"

"Brother, you're smart, you can tell at a glance."

Tong Xiaoyu drank and admitted while holding a wine bottle to pour wine for Zhao Changan: "Of course, the main task today is to talk about the friendship between our two brothers and drink some wine. Work comes second, friendship first!"
