Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker.

Chapter 226 Who is the protagonist?

If you can't beat it, then join. Motorola has experience in this area. The new Motorola 2G mobile phone was launched three months ago.

Thanks to word-of-mouth and marketing networks built during the analog telephone era. Motorola's 2G mobile phone sparked a boom in the market as soon as it was launched, and received strong support from brand advocates.

Compared with this, Zhongxun seems to have a poor foundation.

However, due to the initial launch advantage and the after-sales service of replacement and repair, Zhongxun can still maintain a two-point world situation with Motorola.

This market is so big that both families are very full.

Siemens and Ericsson, on the other hand, are completely powerless to resist. The market has proven that GSM is powerless to fight back against the WCDMA offensive.

Even their home base, Europe, has lost half of its territory to WCDMA. Thirteen countries in Africa have switched to WCDMA. The richest countries in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have established dual networks.

Iraq has always adhered to the strategy of opposing the United States. Even though it was beaten by the United States last year, it did not give up. The whole country only supports GSM, becoming the only country in the world that supports GSM.

The cooperation between CITIC and Motorola has brought great benefits to both parties. Zhao Guoqing feels that Tommy is in a good mood.

He said: "Vanguard Group is also your major shareholder in Motorola. Tommy, tell me what they want."

BlackRock Investment wants to join CITIC, which is good news for Zhao Guoqing. You must know that BlackRock Investment manages global assets of up to three trillion U.S. dollars, making it a veritable consortium.

As for Piem Group, Mr. Zhao hasn’t paid much attention to it, but the major shareholder behind Vanguard Group is a mutual fund and ETF management company. Its market value is nearly US$2.8 trillion in global assets under management (AUM), second only to BlackRock. A large investment consortium.

Coincidentally, these two large consortiums have invested in Micron. In fact, the current market value of Micron is less than 12 million U.S. dollars, and the global DRAM market only accounts for %. It just carries the last glory of the United States.

As for making money, well, not much money really. Japan and Samsung have already set prices very low.

The Japanese and Korean markets are very conservative, and Jewish capital cannot enter their markets at all.

During the Asian financial crisis in 1997, South Korea had to open its domestic financial market in order to obtain assistance from the International Monetary Fund.

From that moment on, Jewish capital bought Samsung at a very low cost.

and so……

Don't worry about it at all...

Mr. Zhao took a stab at the DRAM market in order to have a relationship with the BlackRock consortium and the Pioneer consortium.

In Zhao Guoqing's opinion, the Anglo-Saxon group and the Jewish group have mostly the same opinions on the road to global expansion. Both groups will do anything for money.

The subtle difference is that the Jewish group can abandon anything for money, even the country, because the Jews have never had a country in history.

The Anglo-Saxons are much more conservative. In many cases, they pay more attention to the interests of the country.

and so……

Therefore, the Jews are very suitable for cooperation. After all, their ancestors dared to betray even God for thirty gold coins.

Tommy said: "Pioneer Investment owns 30% of Motorola's shares, and Motorola owns 16% of CITIC's shares. Mr. Zhao, in a sense, Pioneer Investment is also the major shareholder of CITIC..."

This is like saying nothing. How could Mr. Zhao not know about this? He needs to know Pioneer's attitude. Unlike BlackRock Capital, Vanguard Group is also the major shareholder of Microsoft.

Zhao Guoqing made it clearer directly.

“Does Pioneer Investment want to directly hold shares in Zhongxun?”

"..." Tommy said: "Mr. Zhao, are you willing to let Pioneer enter China Communications? I think if Mr. Grumberg knew, he would definitely be very happy!"...

Teacher Xiao Zhao hung up the phone. The situation was still under control. This was also because of CITIC's background and the endorsements of Goldman Sachs and Motorola. This was clear.

Within Goldman Sachs, there are also differences over the sudden attack on China Communications.

But to be honest, Jewish Capital’s share in the DRAM market is relatively small. Micron’s market value of US$100 million is simply incomparable with CITIC.

Zhongxun's annual revenue is US$20 billion. Although it is not listed, the valuation provided by Goldman Sachs is at least US$80 billion, exceeding the market value of Microsoft and Intel.

Goldman Sachs Vice President Florian Croodny complained that as the second largest shareholder, they were completely unaware of CITIC's decision-making, which was unreasonable.

Under his leadership, Goldman Sachs sent a notification letter to CITIC, requiring that CITIC's major decisions must be discussed by the board of directors. Although Zhao Guoqing still holds an absolute share of CITIC, the required procedures still need to be followed.

Fred said to Zhao Guoqing: "Goldman Sachs proposed to establish a supervisory board at CITIC. As the second largest shareholder, Goldman Sachs has the right to occupy a dominant position on the supervisory board!"

“How is it done in America?”

Fred waved his hand and said: "Goldman Sachs's request is normal. This is how it is done in the United States. Shareholders require an institution to protect their interests. In fact, if they feel that a decision harms their interests, they have the right to refute it." Depending on the decision-making of the board of directors, there is also a situation where they can even deprive directors who hold absolute shares of the right to manage the company..."

Teacher Xiao Zhao frowned slightly and motioned for Fred to continue.

"If they have sufficient evidence to show that the major shareholder illegally stole the company's assets and caused damage to their interests by virtue of their control of the company, they have the right to deprive the major shareholder of his rights..."

Zhao Guoqing asked: "Then, who is in charge of the company?"

Fred said: "The remaining shareholders form a board of directors, or bring in a third-party management company..."

Zhao Guoqing smiled and said: "Fred, introduce some books in this field to me. Look, my bookshelf is not full yet!"

Teacher Xiao Zhao is not panicked at all. I believe Goldman Sachs has also seen that Zhongxun is registered in China. Even if the United States has long-arm jurisdiction, it still has to see whether Zhongxun cooperates.

However, this is also a situation where the two sides are at odds. It has not reached this point yet, but in the R&D center located in the Zhongxun Building, Teacher Xiao Zhao should also consider the next step!

Fred said: "What about the board of supervisors?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded and said: "The board of supervisors will follow what Goldman Sachs said and ask them to send a representative. I will appoint that person as chairman of the board of supervisors at the board meeting..."

This small requirement still needs to be met by Goldman Sachs.

Zhao Guoqing asked Fred: "How is Samsung's LCD production line?"

Fred said: "Samsung is crazy. They shipped the production line equipment, but our factory will not be built until next month..."

Zhao Guoqing said: "They just want to obtain Zhongxun's mobile phone technology as soon as possible..."

Fred smiled and said: "Perhaps President Li Jianxi still doesn't know the news. DRAM memory may kill Samsung! As far as I know, Samsung occupies 40% of the world's DRAM market!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "Business is business!"

When Japan's DRAM gained an advantage, it showed no mercy to the Americans, and the rise of Samsung certainly did not leave a way for the Japanese to survive.

Zhongxun has burned down Samsung's backyard this time. If Samsung doesn't have technological breakthroughs, it won't even think about any development in the semiconductor field.

Zhao Guoqing is also very surprised. When Zhongxun and the Americans are about to reach an agreement in the DRAM field, no one seems to have noticed that Japan and Samsung are the giants of DRAM memory particles...
