Chapter 337 If You Must Sell
"Well, why do you still want to sell the semiconductor division? Christopher, your earnings last year were not bad, and the write-down of the Yttrium Star Project is not a big deal, is there anything in it that I don't know?"
William White was curious, Motorola's semiconductor division was a tragedy, yes, it was clear that it had a good hand, but gave up a good market.
However, due to William White's agitation, it seems that there is no too outrageous loss.
"The gap between us and Intel is getting bigger and bigger, and the profit margins of the chips used in those PDAs are really pitiful.
Well, well, that's not the point. ”
Looking at William White's puzzled eyes, this guy could only tell the truth.
Nima, what is the poor profit margin, there is no money to make can compress the space of the small capital, when it comes to how to reduce production costs, they can always think of some ways.
"Some major shareholders believe that we need to get to the bottom of the matter, and if we put away those unrealistic thoughts, Motorola will have a better development.
After all, the communications industry is what we should be focusing on. ”
William Wyndt nodded in understanding, and he could see that Christopher was very unwilling.
However, the Yttrium Star Project can be regarded as a lonely bet.
"Christopher, an entrepreneur and a professional manager, is different, and the vampires on Wall Street are different.
If you are an investor, I may not support you.
Don't worry, listen to me.
Intel, Apple, don't these two companies just abandon the projects they are not good at? I believe that if Motorola, which calculates short-term earnings and gets rid of all its baggage, there will be a very good wave of market. ”
Christopher smiled wryly, that's exactly what the IT industry is like now. Starting with the blue giant, many companies are cutting drastically, Apple is the same, and Intel is also the same.
"But we are a technology company, and if we lose the urge to explore, we will end up as a mediocre company. When it comes to management ability, we are not as good as Xiaoben, and when it comes to production capacity, we don't even go to the big rabbit country at the moment. ”
"It's useless, Christopher, I understand what you say.
You understand now, why do I have a large amount of cash in my hand?
Also, why is that Bell Lab left out alone? ”
"Damn, if I had that much money from you. ”
William White rolled his eyes, and every family had a difficult scripture. How many years have you been in Motorola, how many years have I been in business. Now you see that my shareholding ratio is high, but what about twenty years from now?
"If I had to sell, I'd give me an extra million dollars. From a friend's point of view, I don't want that to happen, and I won't support the cysts' proposal.
But I want to say, man, you can't last long. Once they find that there is no way to get their hands on it, you are the first to be sacrificed. ”
"Anyway, thank you very much. Let's hope it won't come one day. ”
"Tsk, at this critical moment, I am also convinced. These bastards can't be bought by the Europeans.
Well, it's really not good, just sell it to me. As for the price, this is not a problem at all.
Hehe, there won't even be a monopoly problem. ”
Christopher Galvin is completely convinced, Nima, the cost of your pickled girl seems to be a little higher.
"I admire your generosity, but you'd better prepare one more way, if this acquisition is banned, you know, if you have to count, we are related to the military industry, if it is not a company with a background in the United States. ”
"Well, that's not the case, right, okay, I see, it looks like you're being remembered. ”
William White understood everything, but he also had a clear understanding of the greed of the bastards.
"Well, Christopher, if that ever happens, I don't mind expanding this piece of the legendary business.
Or, I need a qualified CEO helper. ”
Christopher Galvin nodded and didn't say anything, William White was able to make such a statement, which was already unexpected. It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, and this guy is very unkind to see those old immortals.
Looking at Christopher's back when he left, William White couldn't help but sigh. Or, in the future, my son will have a similar experience.
He remembers very well that there were two stories circulating in the IT industry at the time. The protagonists of these two stories, one is the former CEO of Apple, and the other is the later Christopher Galvin.
There is no doubt that these two tragic characters were hacked to the end. Jobs said that he was the worst CEO, and directly sentenced his Bole. In William White's opinion, even if this guy is wrong, the fact that he wants to invite you back to Apple against public opinion is really not a mistake.
Or something wrong, cheaper a bastard.
As for Christopher Galvin, the poor worm who was fired from his own company. Since then, the Galvin family has been in decline step by step.
"Boss, I've checked this matter, and Goldman Sachs' back looms. ”
"Hmph, Filson, these guys are getting more and more bottomless. This is simply a robbery, even more excessive than an MBO. ”
"Boss, they do have plans for an MBO. However, Christopher is also a ruthless man, and he has just purged management. ”
"Ha, I see. This is also an honest man being forced to be anxious.
Alas, Goldman Sachs, this guy is as troublesome as he wants. ”
Filson was silent, since the boss knew that Goldman Sachs was difficult, but he still chose the opposite, it was not difficult for him to understand the meaning.
He didn't believe it, the boss was just for the relationship between the two families. One in Chicago and the other in Houston, to be honest, the relationship between the two is only acceptable.
At least, that's what it looks like to outsiders.
But right now, William White is obviously supporting the Galvin family, and this Nima is really a little weird. Thinking of the 3G standard negotiations in full swing now, Filson's face was pumped into a bun.
People in Europe can't have only one voice, you are still fighting in the nest here, if this Nima is a war, is it considered an act of treason?
William White would have laughed wildly if he had known what this guy was thinking. What do you think, when do these capital predators in the United States care about the country.
During the Civil War, they sold arms on both sides. In World War II, the mustache and the little book were completely fattened by such guys. From this point of view, it is really difficult to say whether the war was provoked by a mustache. At the very least, the bastards are responsible.
Hehe, just hope you enjoy the next crash.
The NASDAQ did collapse, as you wished. It's a pity that your copy of the bottom seems to have been copied directly halfway up the mountain.
"Well, it's impossible, Goldman Sachs is crazy. ”
"Warren, that's all I know. Selling the semiconductor sector for 200 million is indeed a bit frustrating. ”
