Start from 1980

Chapter 995

After the "Time" interview, Su Chen continued to be busy with business.

He didn't have much thought to tinker with other things, he just wanted to make things happen.

For example, Nokia, which has always been in the heart.

But if you buy it as a Chinese businessman, it will definitely be troublesome, so it must be shelled.

Set a few more shells, so that the resistance can be reduced a lot.

Because at this time, Nokia was on the verge of bankruptcy due to its wide industrial field.

Even if it released the world's most advanced first NMT1982 mobile phone in 450, it couldn't withstand the bad luck brought by the TV.

He has already figured out how to cover the shell.

With ARM as the main body, find a shell of a European telecom operator.

Because Qualcomm is not suitable, don’t look at Europeans and Americans who are in love with each other, they often wear the same pair of pants, but Europeans are not so stupid, let Americans get stuck in communication.

Looking at the world, currently only Vodafone in the UK is the most suitable for him, followed by Telefónica, Telecom Italia, and French Films.

At this time, Vodafone has mobile communication networks and provides communication services in nearly 30 countries on five continents.

Moreover, it is said that it also has the most complete enterprise information management system and customer service system in the world, and has strong advantages in increasing customers, providing services, and creating value.

Eat the hardest bones.

If this hard bone can be gnawed down, the name of the prosperous age will surely resound in everyone's ears again.

Although the idea is full and the reality is very skinny, once you have an idea, you have to act, otherwise you can only wait until the daylily is cold.

And next, a hundred schools of thought in the telecommunications industry will soon usher in contention.

For example, PCCW, which Li Zekai wants to establish.

The full name is Pacific Century Cyber ​​Works Limited, the largest telecommunications company in Hong Kong, China.

The second is Hong Kong Hutchison Telecom. This company started to operate mobile phone business in Hong Kong in 1983. In 1985, Hutchison Telephone Co., Ltd. was established to launch the first mobile telecommunications system in Hong Kong, which is mainly used for the company's fleet.

Hong Kong Mobile Communications Co., Ltd., also translated as Hong Kong Mobile Communications Co., Ltd., was established in 1983.

Smartone, called Smartone in Chinese, is Vodafone's partner network provider and a subsidiary of Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited, consisting of Sun Hung Kai Properties and ABC Jiaxun.

In the long-term evolution, Hong Kong's telecommunications providers, like those in the Mainland, have undergone reorganization, acquisitions, mergers, mergers, splits, etc., and finally formed these major operators. Their business is not limited to mobile services, but is very extensive.

Although Shengshi's business is huge now, if he doesn't take the communication part first, Teacher Su's intestines will probably regret it.

After thinking about it seriously, the British government now owes him 200 billion US dollars, and Vodafone is an independent state-owned enterprise. If they are allowed to use Vodafone to repay the debt, it seems that there is no big problem.

Of course, it is only a small possibility, and Su Chen doesn't know whether the British will agree.

If you agree, it is the biggest. If you don't agree, there are still several telecom operators in the UK.

If it doesn't work, you can only go to other countries to see.

A telecommunications license is no less important to Shengshi than a banking license.

Shengshi has a lot of trump cards, such as chips, lithography machines, lithium batteries, and Qualcomm. It can be said that any of them is king bomb.

But the most important thing in playing cards is not how many king bombs you have, but how many cards you have in the hole.

After thinking about it, it seems that he still has to go to England to meet his old British lover——Princess Anne.

This matter is very important to Shengshi, whether it is handed over to James from England or Tang Wanru, Su Chen is a little worried.

After the idea was finalized, Su Chen first explained the affairs in Hong Kong, stayed with his wives for more than a week, and then set off for the UK.

On the plane, he had a lot of information about Vodafone on hand.

There is the history of Vodafone, the shareholders behind Vodafone, and some rumors that are said to be true news.

Watching the boss check the information carefully.

Huang Ying, who was idle and bored, said to Li Ruotong: "Did you find that the boss is different from many people?"

"Different?" Li Ruotong was a little puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

The two often go on business trips with the boss, so the relationship is naturally not bad, and they both have their own things to do, so they don't have the idea that the other party wants to seize power at all.

Huang Ying whispered: "Other bosses just explain things down and then sit in the office and wait for their subordinates to report, but our boss likes to do it himself."

"Maybe he enjoys this feeling." Li Ruotong thought about it seriously, and said: "I don't have much time with the boss, but he really seldom sits in the office these few years."

Huang Ying nodded and said: "That's right, the boss seems to enjoy this feeling very much. He will give orders to others only when it is inconvenient, otherwise he basically leaves by himself."

There are not no bosses who take the lead. Most of the bosses take the lead when the company is just established.

But after the enterprise develops to a certain scale, it has to retreat. It may not be a good thing to always take the lead.

This time he came to the UK, in addition to seeing if he could acquire Vodafone, he wanted to annex VLSI through ARM, and at the same time match up the marriage between ARM and Apple.

Wait until the old man can't do it, and then sign an agreement with the Russian Betelev Chip Factory.

At that time, there will be one more trump card.

Moreover, Apple also began to enter a historical low tide. Until the year before Jobs returned, Apple almost went bankrupt, and then he would have one more hole card.

After reading all the materials in his hand, Su Chen stretched his neck.

This trip to the UK seems to have a lot of good things to fish for.

……

It was already April when I came to London.

London in April is neither too cold nor too hot, just the right temperature.

James, who received the call a long time ago, has already gone to the airport to wait.

"Sir, long time no see."

"James, long time no see." Su Chen greeted him with a smile, "Man, you seem to be young again."

James smiled and said: "Yes sir, I feel like I have become younger too."

Get in the car and go directly to the hotel.

"Dude, if I want to buy Vodafone, will Downing Street have any objections?" Su Chen asked James. Before coming, he had already told James his plan for the trip and asked him to help with the investigation.

The information checked on the plane was all sent back to him by James.

James naturally knew it well, and said: "Sir, although we are now the creditors of the British government, I think there will still be a lot of resistance to this acquisition.

Because most of Vodafone's shareholders are British, and only a few are Wall Street consortiums, it is very difficult for us to acquire it. "

He has been telling the truth, now who in the UK does not know that Vodafone has a promising future?

Unless those shareholders' heads are showing off, they will sell this company.

"Although it is difficult, we can try it." Su Chen said, "Starting tomorrow, we will officially launch the acquisition plan for Vodafone, and at the same time, we must publicize it."

Since it was going to be done, it was naturally impossible to do it secretly.

After a night's rest, the next day, under the arrangement of Mr. Su, James directly initiated the acquisition statement of Vodafone.

[Standard Chartered Bank will publicly acquire Vodafone for US$200 billion. 】

As soon as the news came out, the British panicked...
