"What's this one you're taking?"

"The latest phone, you see, this one is very lightweight. ”

Looking at the big brick in front of him, William White couldn't help but be speechless. Well, this is the first time that a product has been brought to market since he worked with Motorola.

The reason why William White was speechless was that this thing was implemented before he took over, and it cost more than 100 million US dollars before and after.

"Tom, do you really think it's light?"

"Well, I've seen one in Europe, I don't know if it's Nokia or Siemens, it's more than ten times bigger than this one, it's a bit like a walkie-talkie on the battlefield. ”

"I know, maybe I can put it in a car. ”

"Boss, this thing is good, it's just too expensive, more than 4,000 dollars, and the talk time is not enough. ”

"How long can it last?"

"Half an hour, but it's twenty minutes at most. ”

Well, William White was depressed, he remembered, let's start with the most basic battery. Today's battery is only the oldest nickel-cadmium battery, even if the lithium battery has not been studied, at least the nickel-metal hydride battery should be used.

With all this in mind, William White began to call a meeting of the cell phone department.

Truth be told, William White wasn't going to be too aggressive. This mobile phone is originally an excessive product, and if you want to promote and make money, you have to wait for the era of GSM.

Fortunately, now this uncle's request is not too much, and he does not ask for major changes, but only asks for a reduction in energy consumption and an increase in battery capacity.

To put it bluntly, nickel-metal hydride batteries are not high-tech, and you, who cost 4,000 US dollars, can accept this cost increase anyway.

William White had already figured out that if these bastards dared to say anything more and couldn't do anything, he would immediately transfer this damn factory.

As for requirements such as call quality, well, this is better to save some effort, and it is very good to be able to connect without stringing.

"Filson, how's the Digital Lab going?"

"There is a breakthrough, two more patents have passed the review this month, and the directors of Motorola seem to have opinions on the additional R&D expenses. ”

"If you have an opinion, you can keep it, and if you can't do it, you can withdraw your shares, a bunch of short-sighted bastards. ”

William White certainly has a reason to be angry, if it weren't for the R&D expenses of more than 100 million US dollars, he would have planned to start all over again. It's just that climbing the tech tree is not so simple, and even if it's in the right direction, it still takes time to accumulate.

At the insistence of William White, the departments quickly began technical PR, after all, the boss's request was quite reasonable.

It's all existing technology, and there is no black technology. Just a week later, an improved version of the big brick scheme was on William White's desk.

"Well, this thing is pretty much the same, what the hell are you on standby for four hours? In fact, after two hours on standby, you're only going to have one phone call. ”

"Boss, this cost can be a bit high. ”

"That's because the order quantity is too small, the quantity is directly doubled, and the price has to be reduced by 10%, which is what I requested. ”

Filson's eyes jumped, he was really a little powerless to complain, your request is too outrageous, right?

"Don't worry, Filson, if my order is ten times larger, they will discount it. ”

"Okay, boss, I'll go talk to them. ”

"Filson, the semiconductor industry is like this, what was the price of 64k memory a year ago?"

"I'm afraid the boss won't be cheap for too long, I feel like my feet are holding back when I touch someone. ”

"Haha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we have a big stick country, don't worry, they don't mind making a little less money in order to rub the foot basin man on the ground. ”

Filson didn't understand, this country didn't seem to have anything to do with sticks, what was the boss here? He even asked some of his Chinese subordinates, but unfortunately no one could answer the question.

After Filson's reminder, William White thought about the problem of memory price increases. However, that was a matter of the IT industry, and it did not affect him for the time being. The use of game consoles is not large, and these memories are already low-end products, not to mention any stick country, Treasure Island can already be produced.

Besides, these things are OEM, and if the foot basin man does not prepare his own inventory, he deserves to die.

To say that these guys are really resilient, after the Plaza Accord, the currency appreciated twice, and in this case, the export enterprises did not immediately go bankrupt. I have to say, this is really a miracle.

Faced with such a partner, Motorola is indeed a little aggrieved. They are old Fortune 500 companies, and what will be a waste of fame there.

It's just that in the face of a guy who can always bring benefits to shareholders, what else can you not be satisfied with?

really annoyed this young master, then don't say anything, just one more competitor, or that kind of very powerful opponent.

In fact, according to the agreement reached between the two parties, Motorola's board of directors is not binding at all.

A group of guys trying to find a presence failed.

Obviously, most of the board is the elite of Wall Street, and they don't trust these old guys.

What about the chip division that suffered heavy losses?

What did you old guys say in the first place?

The current situation is that Motorola is not the best chip company, but the most profitable.

As for the memory department you are talking about, it can simply kill people now, and if it weren't for this garbage, the stock price would not know how much it would have risen.

For investors, it doesn't matter if you toss around, it's just that don't do anything, which will make the stock price avalanche directly.

Split up with William White?

Let's not joke, as soon as this news is announced on Wall Street, the stock price will react immediately. On the other hand, if the joint venture increases its capital, it will increase the stock price.

After the old guys figured it out, William White's super-big brick plan began to be implemented. William White believes that with this thing, the promotion of simulators will definitely be better.

Pioneers are sometimes so painful, no matter how good your development is, it is useless, there will always be people who overtake in corners, especially in the mobile phone market.

What can Ericsson Nokia do with the bull 13, in the end, it is almost the end of the total annihilation.

"Boss, Murdoch has integrated Fox TV and there are now clear signs of expansion. ”

"Hehe, the old guy is quite tenacious, Barry, what do you think, how about we split up the production department?"

"Is there a separation of production and broadcasting? Isn't it too radical?"

"Haha, if there is no competition, how can there be any motivation, so our goal is not so big. ”

"Okay, I'll plan, what will happen to the existing show?"

"Push them all out, let them know that as long as the ratings are good, anything can be discussed, and if your bid is too low, they can also sell it to ABC, but there is one point, Tuao villains are absolutely not good. ”

Barry Diller is a little unsure, whether that old guy pry this horse, otherwise it really can't be explained, do you have such a big hatred?

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it. ”
