Chapter 628: The Galvins!

In fact, Yang Jie is more interested in Motorola's R&D personnel in chip design, although Motorola has been making strategic mistakes for decades, for example, in the PC semiconductor industry, Motorola bets on the closed-platform Apple rather than the open-platform IBM PC-compatible machine, which has resulted in Intel and Microsoft.

In the field of mobile phone chips, Motorola refused to supply to its competitors Nokia and South Korea's Samsung, and as a result, Texas Instruments was successful.

In the field of mobile communications, Motorola prematurely bet on code split multiple access communication technology, believing that the transition from the first generation of analog technology to the second generation of digital technology will occur around 2000, so Motorola is not in a hurry to carry out product research and development of digital technology, but launched the Iridium program at an inopportune time, and almost all technical elites were transferred to the Iridium R&D department, as a result, the Iridium system suffered a fiasco in business, and at the same time, it also perfectly missed the thorny development opportunity of digital cellular communications.

Motorola not only delayed for 4 years, but latecomers such as Nokia and Ericsson successfully surpassed Motorola in digital cellular technology.

In particular, Huaxia Guo, led by Huaxing Group, has made efforts in WLAN communication technology to make Motorola, which relies on the Asian market, drain its blood.

If it were any other company, it would have died long ago if it made any of these mistakes, but it is a miracle that Motorola is still alive after making mistakes.

However, Chris of the Motorola Group of Companies, which he took over five years ago, happened to be the decline of Motorola, and as soon as he took office, he encountered the Asian financial crisis, and the stock price of Motorola, which relies on the Asian market, fell all the way.

And from Huaxing, Huatai, ZTE and other domestic mobile phone brands rise, the domestic mobile phone market competition in China is becoming increasingly fierce, now the digital cellular communication network in Huaxia has completely stopped construction, major operators are building WLAN communication networks on a large scale, the original digital cellular communication mobile phone market is rapidly shrinking, now a year can sell less than five million, that is, the market size of 10 billion, such a market size can support several companies?

Now all domestic mobile phone manufacturers have turned to the full Netcom WLAN mobile phone, Motorola is also forced to turn to WLAN mobile phone, but the core technology patent of WLAN communication network is in the hands of Huaxing Group Company, and the technology of mobile phone high-definition LCD screen is also in the hands of Huaxing Group Company.

At this stage, there are three manufacturers that can produce WLAN modulation and moderator chips, one is Huaxing Group Company, one is Huatai Company, and the other is ZTE, but Huaxing Group Company has done the best job in chip design.

In order to produce WLAN mobile phones, these mobile phone manufacturers must pay patent fees to Huaxing Group.

And Huaxing Group last year CPU, DSP, modulation modem, RF chips, GPU and other chips began to integrate on a large chip, in order to integrate these chips together, Loongson Semiconductor Company has done a lot of work on simulation and verification, and finally solved a large number of technical problems.

Since the beginning of this year, Loongson Semiconductor has begun to use mobile phones under its own brand, with very strong performance, and Huaxing Communication Equipment Company has also announced that it will provide such system-on-chip chips to other mobile phone manufacturers from next year.

Since Huaxing Group joined the Global Microwave Internet Access Communication Network Alliance, Chris also wants to take this opportunity to revitalize Motorola's mobile phone business, and the key to this is Huaxing Group.

Therefore, Chris also made an official visit to Huaxing Group by talking about the acquisition of the wafer fab this time.

Yang Jie also probably guessed Chris's intention to visit this time, and also greeted Song Manli, Uncle Xiao, Hu Huanzhi and others.

After Chris's greeting with Yang Jie, he also mentioned the acquisition of the fab.

"Mr. Chris, to be honest, I have never liked that my company is interfered with too much outside capital, and the money earned by the company is not only used to invest in research and development, but also to give better benefits to the company's internal personnel, so I really don't have much interest in your company's proposal to exchange shares. ”

Yang Jie said.

"Mr. Yang, I very much agree with your idea. Chris said: "Although Motorola is said to be our Galvin family business, as a public company, Motorola's equity has long been completely diluted, and the shareholders of all parties and these people on Wall Street only have interests and personal gains and losses in their eyes, and they have no interest in the future and fate of Motorola." If I could, I'd like Motorola to get out of the stock market. ”

Yang Jie smiled, and said in his heart that Chris said such a thing to prove that he is really under a lot of pressure now.

According to the information obtained, as the third-generation heir of the Galvin family, Chris tried his best to avoid the fate of his father's career ruined by his own hands, and he was very diligent.

He arrives at the office at 7 o'clock every day and works late into the night, carrying a briefcase full of Motorola's latest mobile phones and other products.

Although Chris has also taken a series of measures after taking office, proposing to rebuild a "Motorola in the digital age", embracing the Internet, launching new mobile phones, reducing chip business losses and other measures, but it is only to plug the leak of this sinking giant ship, and in order to seize market share, the price of mobile phones has been greatly reduced, which is a stupid trick and accelerated the decline of Motorola's mobile phone business.

Chris also lacked the pioneering spirit of his grandfather and father, who struggled to keep all the industries offline, and the company reformed very little, and after more than five years, Motorola still did not improve.

Now the capitalists from Wall Street are joining forces with many shareholders to force Chris to step down and replace private equity partner Edward Jander.

Judging from the information obtained, this Edward Jander is a bombastic marketer who is fanatical about market share and can sell straw for gold, and these Wall Street bigwigs admire him.

Yang Jie has always been uninterested in such people, but he has no right to comment on such things, he is willing to deal with people like Chris.

"Mr. Yang, the equipment of this wafer factory has been upgraded, all of them are brand new equipment, and the fab also has a lot of experienced technical engineers, if Zhongjing Micro Company can be acquired, I think it will be a very good business for you. ”

Chris said.

Yang Jie smiled, "Mr. Chris, if you are willing, we are willing to wholly acquire this wafer factory, but compared to acquiring the wafer factory, I think our Huaxing Group can cooperate with your company in more places." ”

Chris glanced at Yang Jie and said, "Mr. Yang, what do you want to cooperate with us?"
