Chapter 409 Get Qualcomm

After receiving Ai Wen's call, Su Chen went directly to him.

The meeting place was in a coffee shop.

After Mr. Su arrived, besides Ai Wen, there were several other people.

"Guys, this is China Su." Dr. Aiwen introduced each other.

"Su, let me introduce you. This is Franklin Antonio, this is Adelia Coffman, this is Andrew Cohen, this is Klein Gilhousen, Irwin Jacobs...all my colleagues."

Hey guys, Qualcomm's giants are all here.

After a brief acquaintance, Professor Aiwen said: "Guys are very interested in your ideas, so I want to have a brief chat with you."

"Okay, professors, my idea of ​​building a company is like this..." Su Chen repeated what he said to Ai Wen before, and then said: "So, I want to set up such a company."

"And several of them are the best in this field. I hope to build a company that can provide project research and development services for the wireless communication industry. At the same time, I will also invest heavily in your research and development. I hope to create thousands of innovative ideas, methods and products to change the world of wireless communications."

"So what's your upfront investment?" Franklin Antonio asked.

Su Chendao: "I use 3000 million U.S. dollars as the project start-up capital. At the same time, the subsequent annual investment and development will not be less than 1000 million U.S. dollars. On this basis, the investment will be increased depending on the progress of research and development."

"What about the distribution of equity?" Ivan asked.

"I want to hold 60% of the company and achieve absolute control. For the remaining 40%, if you are willing to join, I will give each of you 5% of dividend rights and voting rights, just seven of you."

Su Chen said seriously: "Because enterprises do not need professional managers, they are business partners. Professional managers can co-create and share, but they cannot share the burden. I have money, and I am willing to pay for this project, and I will not let it down. The hard work of every colleague."

There's no way, it's a bit difficult to deal with one of these few people, and people like these people who know technology don't care about the salary at all.

Moreover, these people possess core technology, have their own entrepreneurial ideas, and more importantly, their own team's own technology. Su Chen is just here to hitch a ride.

"What about our business plan?" Ivan asked again.

Su Chen said earnestly: "Research on the feasibility of CDMA in mobile communication technology, invest in field experiments, drive tests and industry demonstrations, prove that CDMA is not only useful, but can also be used in various fields, so that CDMA can be recognized as an industry standard, That’s where we’re headed.”

"Guys, I'm not kidding you guys, investing in R&D is not easy and right now the whole industry is bullish on TDMA technology and investing millions of dollars in R&D on it."

"And I'm willing to take $3000 million or more to invest in this project, not because I'm rich, but I think this technology can increase the network capacity by forty times, so that everyone can afford wireless networks .”

Everyone couldn't help being silent, and the first feeling was that this young man was a little crap.

One mouth is an investment of tens of millions of dollars.

If they didn't really know Su Chen, and knew that he was the one who acquired Fox and vigorously developed the Fox network, everyone would have thought they had encountered a liar.

After a while, Ivan asked, "Then who will you lead the company?"

"The general direction is led by me, and the development of the company is led by you, Professor Aiwen. You don't have to ask me for everything." Su Chen said: "Although I absolutely hold the controlling stake, I will give you sufficient authority to let you be in charge of money and power." , and at the same time will not send people to parachute to take the guys off."

"However, the premise of all this is that we can establish such a company. As I imagined, with my huge money, everyone's research and development can also be handy."

After hearing Su Chen's words, Ai Wen turned to look at the others.

"Guys, what do you mean?"

"Listen to you."

"We listen to you."

"..."

Now the guys all regard Ivan as his leader, so he has to think carefully.

Professor Ai Wen was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Su, if it's as you said..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Chen took out a bunch of documents.

"This is my promise to the guys. In fact, if you inquire about me, you should also know that after I bought Fox, I haven't made too many changes, and I haven't arranged personnel or anything like that."

Su Chen said: "This is because I think that professional things should be done by professionals, and what I have to do is to ensure that every clerk will not be hungry, and that every clerk's hard work will not be in vain. pay."

"You can take a look at these documents first."

He distributed these documents.

In fact, there are only a few points mentioned in the document: he owns the absolute shareholding of the company, controls the board of directors, and all patents belong to the company...

In a nutshell: he pays, these people contribute, the patent belongs to the company, and everyone shares the money.

After reading the documents in his hand, Ai Wen said: "If this is the case, I am willing to join, but I have to add one thing, if there is no additional investment for more than three quarters, and the salaries of the guys cannot be maintained, we have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract. "

"Okay." Su Chen nodded, and then added this.

Since the leader has no opinion, the others also have no opinion.

Waiting for everyone to sign the contract, Su Chen said: "Now our company is called Qualcomm (Qualcomm), and I hope that in the hands of us, Qualcomm can be transformed into a world-leading wireless technology innovation company, changing the world's connection, computing and ways of communicating.”

The reason why it is still called Qualcomm is because he is too lazy to name it, so it is better to use this, which means high-quality communication.

Signed the contract, there is still a lot to do.

They have to jump out of the original company, and then there is office space and so on.

Just leave these things to Ivan.

Su Chen was worried: "Professor Aiwen, research and development is not a treat. We need to spend several years to fight this battle. I hope we can create a CDMA standard."

"Boss, as long as you really do what you said, you will continue to invest in research and development, otherwise we will all be sucked dry by the damn tax bureau." Professor Aiwen said with a smile.

The Qualcomm thing is finally done!

In the original time and space, Broadcom's acquisition of Qualcomm was vetoed by the President of the United States without relying on national security.

After careful screening, Broadcom intends to acquire Qualcomm and a lot of things derived from it seem a bit "ridiculous".

Broadcom and Qualcomm, who are in the game, have been playing thrilling and ups and downs before.

First, Broadcom proposed a $[-] billion acquisition offer, which was directly rejected by Qualcomm—it feels like a high-cold goddess rejecting a dick who wants to eat swan meat...

Then Broadcom raised its offer again, but was ignored by Qualcomm.

However, as the battle between Qualcomm and Apple deepened, the patent fee dispute with Huawei has not been resolved, and anti-monopoly investigations have been encountered around the world, Qualcomm is finally in a hurry.

It's like the goddess is old and has had enough fun, and wants to find an "honest person" to take over.

So Qualcomm said: Broadcom, you, a dick, can "marry me home" as long as you bid 1600 billion U.S. dollars.

But Broadcom is not stupid. Instead, it wants to acquire Qualcomm in a curve by nominating candidates for the board of directors.

……

Su Chen returned to the hotel and called Cao Jiaxin.

They said they hadn't come back yet.

Forget it, since she didn't come back, let's wait for her to come back and then report to work.

The matter here was settled, Su Chen didn't stay, and flew back to Boston directly.

Because of the graduation certificate, the credits are not enough, so it is difficult to get the graduation certificate.

In the same way, after obtaining a diploma, according to the agreement, he has to return to China to work for two years. Even if he has obtained a diploma and is already qualified to teach at Harvard, he cannot work at Harvard, otherwise he will be in breach of the contract.

Liquidated damages are trivial matters, the key is that if he really breaches the contract, he will be in all kinds of troubles in the future unless he changes his nationality.

Back in Boston, as soon as I got home, Cao Jiaxin called: "Boss, Microsoft..."
