Chapter 2511 The first sniper attack on BlackBerry

On this day, Zhao Changan and Tang Shuang were both accompanied by Mike, the soul of BlackBerry, to visit the manufacturing plant of BlackBerry's upstream supplier.

During this period, Tang Shuang has been focusing on asking the company's engineers about some technical matters, especially mobile phone and PAD cases, connecting cables, batteries, and microphone receivers. These parts are not very high-tech.

As for Tang Shuang's performance, Mike didn't care much about it at first. He was an engineering type who was much more obsessed with technology than the outside world. His paranoia about technology made him often ignore the essential elements of corporate survival - owning The ability to make money and make blood!

This is also an important reason why Tianyue strongly opposed Xinyu 180 mobile phone in the future and finally chose to liquidate its shares and leave the market.

However, he was later quietly reminded by his assistant in private that the vice president of Yinan was making advance preparations for the localization rate of unimportant parts if the two parties could reach a cooperation.

Mike smiled at this. Maybe if he were the president of another mobile phone and PAD company, he might feel unhappy.

However, for him, if it is really necessary, he would be very happy to digitize all BlackBerry virtual images.

Just like Microsoft.

At yesterday's press conference, Mike said it sincerely. BlackBerry has never defined itself as a hardware manufacturer for the Internet and communications industries.

Rather, it should be a high-tech Internet company that "provides Internet social office communication solutions for enterprises/individuals."

His dream has never been to build a larger manufacturing plant and increase RIM's global market share, but to install BlackBerry's wireless email operating system on more mobile phones and PADs.

It would be his dream if one day BlackBerry could shut down or sell all its hardware manufacturing plants and focus entirely on software.

In fact, on this day, Mike and Zhao Changan had met each other late and had been discussing how to install BlackBerry's wireless email operating system into all brands of mobile phones in the world. They did not care at all about the visiting companies.

During this period, when Zhao Changan went to the toilet, he called Jin Chenxiao and asked about the current stock price.

5.41 dollars.

What surprised him was that it actually fell by $0.02.

Jin Chenxiao’s explanation is that today the branch did not attract funds until it is almost noon, and it is already very difficult to maintain such a price that has almost not dropped, because if there is no 5 million poured in one nanometer after another, rmb, maybe BlackBerry's stock price has dropped to around $4.

Then Zhao Changan asked Jin Chenxiao to invest all the remaining 100 million RMB in the account.

"You have to invest it all. Unless there is new capital inflow, otherwise if you want to carry out stock operations, other than selling, you can only use mortgage and leverage?"

Jin Chenxiao questioned there, thinking that Zhao Changan was too radical, and couldn't help but worry.

"Smash them all, I have discretion."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Changan looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. He was young and handsome, but looked a little tired.

With such great psychological pressure, it would be strange not to feel tired!

In fact, Yinnan's plan for BlackBerry is like walking a tightrope, using small things to make big things happen, and the success rate will actually be very low.

If Zhao Changan only looked at this matter from the perspective of a stock investor, the price of BlackBerry's stock raised by 5.3Nano's Toronto branch was approximately US$234.35, and at BlackBerry's peak six years later, the stock price soared to US$.

A full increase of forty-six times. But the RMB 280 million invested in One Nano now can turn into RMB billion if left untouched for six years!

And this does not include several dividends paid out over the past six years.

It can be said that just this investment can write Zhao Changan's name into the history of the country's top investors.

However, the problem now is that Zhao Changan's ambitions go far beyond that!

"Work hard, come on!"

In front of the bathroom mirror, Zhao Changan washed his face with the faucet. He couldn't help but feel refreshed. He raised his right fist high towards himself in the mirror, stared at his own reflection in the mirror with a fierce expression and roared to encourage him.

When the Toronto stock market closed in the afternoon, BlackBerry's stock price not only revalued at US$5.43, but also soared to US$5.9, driven by the crazy bid of million by Nanometer's Toronto branch.

The Toronto Daily News described in detail how the witty reporter left him speechless and he had no choice but to praise the great Canada and the Canadian people. The funny image of Zhao Changan, a young CEO from a distant, strange and mysterious oriental country, was portrayed, and became a source of fun and laughter for the entire Canadian people.

And I know that BlackBerry will once again enter the Eastern market with a population of more than one billion, and it has also built a branch in Toronto and purchased nearly 100 million Canadian dollars in BlackBerry shares.

The next day, Zhao Changan and Tang Shuang, still accompanied by Mike, visited around.

By the evening's Toronto stock market close, the stock price had risen to $6.48.

On the third day, after several days of contact, Zhao Changan and Tang Shuang officially started negotiations with BlackBerry CEO Jim on behalf of Ynanometer.

Zhao Changan asked Yinan and BlackBerry to set up a joint venture factory in Zhengzhou, China, to produce RIM mobile phones and PAD tablets. The two parties have a 6:4 shareholding, Yinan 6, and BlackBerry 4 to produce a full range of BlackBerry products.

Establish a BlackBerry smartphone operating system R&D center in Mingzhu. At the same time, in order to avoid duplication of resources and waste of manpower and technology, it is recommended that BlackBerry stop the research and development of its own smartphone operating system.

The shareholding is 4:6. Zhao Changan is aware of this and is not greedy. Yinnan only requires 40% of the shares.

Jim suggested that there is no need to set up a smartphone R&D center in Mingzhu, because BlackBerry already has a strong PAD operating system R&D center in Waterloo. The next step will be to spin off the PAD operating system R&D center and establish it. For the PAD project department and the RIM mobile phone project department, BlackBerry will not have any interest in receiving capital injections for this cooperation. However, One Nano is currently collecting shares of BlackBerry and is a shareholder of BlackBerry. Therefore, the RIM mobile phone project department is also equivalent to One Nano part of the power.

As for the mobile phone joint venture, given the previous failed investment by BlackBerry and Nortel in Meiyan Town, lessons have been learned. If there is another cooperation, BlackBerry must hold the controlling stake.

Mike, who was talking to Jim, was always worried, which was equivalent to completely denying Zhao Changan's opinion.

lunch break.

"Jim, you will scare them away. Zhao Changan, the president of Yinan, is a young man with great Internet ideas. BlackBerry invested in and built a factory in China before. I have only been there once, including his visit last winter. After we had a serious conversation, I never thought that his thoughts were so consistent with mine. He is the natural best partner for us!”

Mike also wanted to persuade Jim not to set the conditions so aggressively: "As for the establishment of a smartphone operating system R&D center in Mingzhu, we can send some employees there to cooperate without affecting the R&D here. As for building a factory in China, there is really no We must maintain our holdings. In fact, our investment from Tianyue Future has not been lost, and it has also brought in sales of 2.3 million units and million Canadian dollars. "Doug, what do you think?"

"Leave professional matters to professional people. Jim is an expert on this matter."

Doug Freking, the founder of BlackBerry with Mike Lazaridis, clearly sided with Jim Balsillie.
