Chapter 1226 Choke the lifeblood of future mobile chip manufacturers
However, despair is despair, but the loss of Motorola's semiconductor industry is also a fact.
So just after the despair, Mike next to him lost no time in leaning over and whispering a few words, which meant nothing more than to let himself not be swayed by emotions and strive to seize the opportunity to expand the results.
However, Christophe always felt that Wu Tao's idea was not so simple.
After all, in the market of capital, no one is a savior. And behind the olive branch thrown by Wu Tao, there is bound to be a greater profit target.
If you take the liberty of saying yes, what if you become a Motorola sinner?
In this turbulent period of development, the Galvinian family, which had always been confident and determined, also lost its original decision.
At least Christophe needs a reason for now.
However, Mike was already ready to move, looking at Huaxia Wu who was talking eloquently on the other side, he felt for the first time that this Huaxia man's international fame was really not in vain.
Wu Tao continued unhurriedly: "With all due respect, your company sold the mobile phone business with one hand and spun off the loss-making semiconductors with the other, isn't this clearly letting the semiconductor industry fend for itself?"
“…… Of course, maybe you can add a condition to the acquisition negotiation with Lenovo that you must use Freescale chips, but do you expect a new company to step into the mobile phone industry halfway through, and milk your semiconductor company?"
Kristof looked solemn and frowned.
Because of these problems, he, as CEO, has not not considered it. However, there is no answer, and the semiconductor industry is spun off into an independent company and seeks to go public, hoping to continue its life with the help of the resources of the stock market, and then slowly find vitality.
However, now, when Huaxia Wu dialect comes to this point, the meaning is self-evident.
If you don't cooperate, in the future, Lotus mobile phones, and even Huaxia's mobile phone products, will be put into the ARM camp.
By the way, there is also Huaxia Wu's own semiconductor camp!
So the choice left by reality is - there is no choice, only cooperation.
Christophe had nothing more to say.
But Mike expressed a different opinion with the consent of the other party, "Dear Huaxia Wu, you may have some truth in what you said. But I think that the future low-power chip market may not be all the world of mobile communications, right?"
“…… At least for now, Freescale chips have been widely used in various handheld smart devices, automotive fields, and aerospace. ”
"You're right," Wu Tao didn't deny it, but his words of return were more sharp, "But Mike, judging from the fact that Freescale chips are still losing money, the applications in these fields are not enough for you to live." ”
“…… What's more, your company's semiconductor market has a tendency to shift to the Asia-Pacific market and even the mainland of China, isn't it?"
Mikesheng wiped his face helplessly, really speechless.
Obviously, Wu Tao's implication is that even if your company's semiconductor industry can survive in other market areas except the mobile communication market, your eggs are still in my hands.
The words of the Chinese people in front of him are really powerful.
Mike took a sip of the coffee that had lost its temperature, still unable to hide the anger that was almost erupting from his throat.
In all the negotiations in his career, how could he have been so suppressed and powerless to refute it?
Until Kristof opened his arms a little exaggeratedly, Meng Lang, who was a little broken, said: "In that case, let's talk as you wish, Mr. Wu......"
The smile on Wu Tao's face suddenly bloomed.
Once the tone of cooperation has been set, the next substantive negotiations will progress much faster.
The Yuanqi Technology team, led by Xiao Zixia, won the market in some states and counties in the United States, which was originally exclusive to Motorola mobile phones, almost effortlessly.
At this point, Lotus mobile phones can be sold on the counter in various states and cities in the United States.
And Yuanqi Technology did not even pay a dime for this.
As for the negotiation and negotiation of the chip development team led by Ni Guangnan, the progress has been relatively slow.
Because Wu Tao wants to rip the space from Motorola, all of them are in the negotiation power this time.
In the end, the Chip Development Research Institute signed a cooperation project with a total investment of $2 billion from Freescale Semiconductor at the cost of $100 million.
The weight of the project is 1:1 on both sides!
Rao is like this, and the two rounds of negotiations and consultations only took more than half a day.
All the contracts were in place by lunch the next day. Then, Wu Tao and Christophe publicly held a signing ceremony at the New Century Hotel.
Christophe tightened the barrel of his pen, and it was a little difficult to lay the pen down.
Who would have thought that the capital that was finally earned from Lenovo would be given to Huaxia Wu.
This feeling is like many years ago, the Chinese people signed an unequal treaty under the strong ships and guns of the great powers.
A few hours after the news of the signing broke, Motorola's stock skyrocketed, breaking the multi-year volatility record in one fell swoop.
When Christophe, who embarked on the journey north to the capital of China, heard the news, he felt a little comforted, and it seemed that it was not such a loss.
successfully knocked a small bamboo bar, Wu Tao was in a very good mood.
When I returned to the president's office, my butt was not hot, but Liu Ruoxi walked in and reported that Miss Li Yinxin was visiting.
As soon as Wu Tao heard this, he knew why this stick girl came from, and immediately waved his hand to show that he was gone.
Liu Ruoxi was a little unbearable in her heart, but she still ordered it over the phone, but her tone was a little more tactful.
After doing all this, Liu Ruoxi owed a debt and said, "Boss, it's nothing, I'll go down first." ”
After all, there are many things that need to be personally arranged and implemented by the Chip Development Research Institute in the follow-up contract.
However, unexpectedly, Wu Tao stopped her and said: "At the end of the cooperation contract of the Chip Development Research Institute, you will hand it over to Shi Lele to do." There are more important things on my side that you need to keep an eye on for yourself. ”
Liu Ruoxi didn't know what was going on, "The cooperation with Freescale is a major event in the near future. What could be more important than that?"
Wu Tao grabbed a foreign-language newspaper on the table, pointed to a headline on it, and said, "If it weren't for Christopher this time, I wouldn't have remembered this." ”
Liu Ruoxi glanced at the headline in the foreign-language newspaper, which was written that Apple had withdrawn from ARM and was preparing to vigorously develop its own music player products.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Immediately, Liu Ruoxi had a flash of inspiration in her mind, "Boss, do you want to buy or control ARM?"
Wu Tao smiled but did not speak.
But it made Liu Ruoxi even more sure of her guess, "But aren't we already cooperating with Freescale?"
"Grasp with both hands, and be hard with both hands. Wu Tao said with a smile, "All potential future mobile chip suppliers, no one is missing!"
“…… But we don't need to rush to take the lead in this matter, let President Fujiwara preside, and by the way, implement the meat that the Rothzadar family has always wanted to take......"
