Super Tycoon

Looking at the guests on the opposite side, Zhang Yang also felt a little surprised. After all, in the mobile phone industry, the two parties are not of the same order of magnitude.

Once in the field of BP machine, this company is the industry leader. In the era of Big Brother, this is also one of the best. It was also the first in the industry. It was just over two or three years by Nokia. It is currently the second in the global mobile phone industry.

Zhiduoxing's mobile phone didn't even enter the top ten in the country, and it didn't rank in the world, and the other party came to the door and sought cooperation!

"Mr. Thomas, you said just now that you are representing Motorola, to discuss cooperation with the Zhiduoxing Group in the mobile phone business?" Zhang Yang wanted to confirm again.

"Yes, we hope to cooperate with Zhiduoxing Group in the mobile phone business. We need not say more about our achievements in the mobile phone field. Although your company is just getting involved in this field, we are very optimistic about your company. potential."

Although Thomas understands Chinese, he still uses English to tell, for fear that his Chinese will cause the other party to misunderstand.

"So how do you want to cooperate?" Zhang Yang asked in detail.

The largest mobile phone manufacturer that Zhiduoxing had cooperated with before was Bird. This ranked third in China, but it was not placed in the top ten in the world.

Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Ximenzi, Chang Ni, Xiapu, Ericsson, LG, Blackberry, Dopod (HTC)...

The technology of any of these mobile phone manufacturers is better than that of Bird, and it is naturally far stronger than Zhiduoxing. Motorola can become the industry's second, once the leader, the strength naturally need not be said.

"I hope we can work with each other and help each other to promote products in their own advantageous markets."

Zhang Yang knew it was unreliable when he heard it, because Motorola's wafer fab in China is preparing to sell it, and Huaxin International is the one to buy.

The reason is simple. Motorola's stock price has fallen sharply in the past two years, and it has even fallen into a loss last year. Their communication field and chip field developed at the same time, but unfortunately none of them can maintain their glory.

This year, Motorola is preparing to divest all its semiconductor business, reduce the company's weight, and ensure its focus in the communications field, thereby turning losses into profit.

But this point was opposed by Galvin, the CEO at this time. Galvin is the grandson of the founder of Motorola. Although he is not a major shareholder, there are also many people who support it.

Motorola is currently in a civil strife and needs new revenue growth to ease the company's financial pressure.

Zhiduoxing mobile phones are currently only promoted in the Huaxia market, and other markets in Southeast Asia have only launched traditional Chinese versions. It is not that they cannot make English versions, but that they are currently lacking in technology and can only use the most controlled Huaxia market to level up. After the level is high, you can go to the advanced map to brush money.

Mutual OEM, and mutual promotion, must be Motorola, Zhiduoxing obviously lose. However, Zhang Yang did not directly refuse, because starting next year, Zhiduoxing is ready to expand to overseas markets, and it is OK to find a partner first.

"Mr. Thomas, we can't agree to this condition this year, but we might be able to do it next year. Since we want to cooperate, we all show sincerity. We need some communication-related technologies and hope that we can buy some patents from your company."

"Is it authorized? Of course, we are willing to cooperate with Zhiduoxing Group."

"No, it's not a simple patent authorization, but a purchase. We need to have the right to use, as well as the right to upgrade technology." Zhang Yang grabbed the different words.

Under normal circumstances, no company would authorize so. Many companies are often accused of infringement, not because they imitated 100%, but because they cracked someone else's patented technology and then upgraded it to use it, but this is also illegal in many countries.

Zhang Yang dared to put forward this condition because Motorola was in a loss last year, and its global sales were only worth more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and its semiconductor business was the big loser.

The most fundamental reason is that the battle between Chaowei and Intel highlights that Motorola's chip technology is backward, and it has become more and more uninterested, and even some industrial chips have no one to buy from them.

If it was not Motorola that was in a loss, how could it come to contact Zhiduoxing and seek cooperation?

Although the sales of Zhiduoxing Group did not increase much last year, it did not decline, and it was much higher than Motorola.

"Mr. Zhang, I can't agree to your request. Our technology is the best in the industry. I can promise you a low price."

Zhang Yang shook his head: "Since you are the best, how can you worry about our subsequent upgrade?"

If Motorola's technology is really the best, how could it fall to the second place in the industry, and have the meaning of being widened? In the field of communications, Nokia, Ericsson, Westerners, Samsung, etc. are top-notch, and others are better integrated with the electronics industry.

Whether in the field of consumer electronics or chips, Motorola's influence is not as good as Zhiduoxing, which is also the fact that the other party has to admit.

Not long after Forbes’s list came out this year, Bill Gates’ assets fell to the forefront of US$40 billion, and Zhang Yang’s personal assets rose to US$16 billion.

It was mainly Zhang Yang’s investments that proved to belong to him personally, so assets rose quickly. Unfortunately, he lost his title as the richest man in Asia and was taken away by the Saudi prince.

But Zhang Yang is also the second richest person in Asia. The eleventh in the world, Li Chaoren's assets have shrunk to eight billion US dollars, only half of Zhang Yang's.

The rich on this list ~www.readwn.com~ has to be taken seriously. Even if Zhang Yang makes any important investment decisions, he can be received by some political leaders.

Zhang Yang wanted to work with Motorola. He suddenly remembered that Motorola had risen again next year, throwing away the burden of semiconductors, and even paying an extra US$200 million for this, but it was also thrown away. Some debts allowed Motorola to concentrate on the communications industry and developed the V3 king.

The main concept of V3 is the external design, ultra-thin. The best-selling of this mobile phone once made Motorola feel that it can regain the position of the industry leader. It only needs to increase sales by another 10%.

He suddenly thought of what a two thousand yuan mobile phone should look like. With the company's current technology, it is difficult to make the flip so thin, but the bar machine can.

Although Motorola's clamshell machine is classic, it is too focused on the clamshell machine. Regardless of whether the cooperation can be negotiated today, Thomas Yang reminds Zhang Yang that he is very happy.

Of course, if we can negotiate cooperation, it will be more perfect.
