What kind of image did the Chinese in the eighties of the twentieth century look like in the minds of Americans?

I am afraid that it will not be any better than China in the eighties of the nineteenth century -- of course, this has nothing to do with the actual situation in China, and no one can judge himself because of other people's preconceived notions about himself, which can only be the fault of those who are biased.

To say that in the eyes of Americans, the Chinese seem to be a more popular race than blacks.

It may not be pronounced, but in the bottom of my heart, the judgment of white people will still be disturbed by this image.

The Chinese either have pigtail braids or green military uniforms with red books, preferably a group of people who line up at the airport to get on and off the plane with a stereotypical expression.

Just like when Chinese talk about Indians, they have to shout a third brother and drink Ganges water.

When it comes to Koreans, they are all cosmic powers, when it comes to Japanese, they are all serious people and perverted dead houses, when it comes to Uncle Black, they are all miracles of a thousand rounds of firefights for a whole day with zero deaths and zero injuries, when it comes to Germans, they are all clockwork men like accurate clocks, and when it comes to Russia, they are all strong men who can fight bears...... Prejudice is everywhere and can silently influence people's judgments.

Even if the facts are in front of people, they are not more convincing than decades of subtle and deep-rooted prejudices.

Even if you know in your heart that the other person is not that image, and even if there are many examples that the other person is the same person as yourself, the difference in appearance will still make people choose to ignore the facts.

It's blacks who will rap, Russians who must drink vodka, Indonesia who murder Chinese, Australians who have swimming pools at home - and Chinese in the eighties have never seen the world.

Is Heterolake worth tens of billions of dollars?

Of course, if the other party is an American company or a European company, the senior management of Williams or Motorola can sit down and talk to the other party without any pressure.

Ten billion dollars?

OK, no problem, I'm only going to get more anyway, and that's a good story in the business case.

Yes, OMG.

Ten billion dollars to a Chinese company?

It's not a question of whether you can get on the Wharton business school case, but whether it will be used as a joke by the talk show host!

How can a country with the United States, whose annual trade and exports are only more than $10 billion, enjoy such a feast?

Motorola will be a joke.

That's a bunch of Chinese, what do they have worth ten billion dollars?

Come on, is Motorola funny in the head, or is it reduced to the point that the technology research and development capabilities are not even comparable to the Chinese?

It is conceivable that if the deal is reached with 10 billion dollars.

When Motorola discloses its financial report next, it will wait for the public opinion of the whole society to be turbulent.

The stock price has fallen off a cliff!

Investors and citizens sometimes don't know how to write and analyze the market, they only use their past impressions to judge right and wrong.

What's more, even Williams himself has not experienced the psychological factor of shame.

was pressed by Hu Wenhai to sign a supplementary agreement, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great shame in life.

The reason is very simple, if the opponent is a white man, an American, and the loss is only due to self-inflicted gambling and surrender to losing.

But the opponent is only a twenty-year-old Chinese who has just arrived, and Williams did not turn the other party around, how is this not a great shame?

It's like playing Warcraft.

greedisgoos and hosyourdaddy are in hand, and as a result, a CG professional player is pushed flat by the simplest computer, will it make people angry and smash the computer?

Reason at this time, it is not surprising that it is offline.

Although no one in Motorola's top management said it explicitly, subconsciously, no one could accept the asking price of 10 billion US dollars.

It's not about commercial considerations, it's purely about the collective unconscious.

The source of this collective unconscious.

It's all buried under the sleepers of the American railroad.

Prejudice is like a leaf that cannot see Mount Tai, and it can come from Motorola's attitude towards ST and Hu Wenhai from the beginning.

Whether it is the bid to buy out the water lithium battery patent at the beginning, or the small actions in the cooperation, and the current Yan zhòng underestimating the value of the shares of Yizhuhu Company, the root cause is contempt for the Chinese.

Why do a group of yellow-skinned monkeys who should be coolies take so much money?

Even if it is repeatedly slapped in the face by reality.

Williams still doesn't think there's anything remarkable about the other side.

The ones he has the most contact with are the Chinese interns who work in Motorola's fabs.

These Chinese may be industrious enough, but their poor knowledge and poor standard of living prevent Williams from treating them as equal personalities.

The image of these rustic buns in the countryside neutralizes the alternative experience that Hu Wenhai brought him - the scars are good and the pain is forgotten.

Having just struggled out of the quagmire of the planned economy, even if Hu Wenhai is a little clever, how can the Chinese understand what capitalism is?

Means on the mall.

It's not certain that you're going to be turned around by playing by yourself.

If you take out two scattered hands a little, you will definitely be able to put the Chinese into obedience and respectfully hand over the benefits.

This is what Williams thinks in his heart, and even the collective feeling of the entire Motorola executives, except for the opposition of Addison, who has the most contact with Hu Wenhai.

Williams never thought that Hu Wenhai had any other option than to surrender.

So when the unexpected happened, he didn't even realize that it was DuPont playing it.

However, this is no secret, when Hunter DuPont acquired the patent for the industrial manufacturing method of ion permeation membrane from the Gaddari Group, it was already a conspiracy on the surface.

But things have progressed to this stage, and Motorola can't do anything about it.

Unlike Motorola, DuPont's product line and capital strength are not at all an order of magnitude.

Faced with the same transaction amount, DuPont can offset the production of products such as technical equipment, and cash, stocks and bonds can only be "just"

Three billion dollars.

At least on the surface of the deal, it's better than Motorola.

DuPont's request to acquire the Gaddari Group is undoubtedly a recipe for exhaustion.

Since then, DuPont has relied on its extensive power network to announce the R&D plan for the third generation of water lithium batteries, as well as the acquisition of the Gadari Group and its listing to promote the battery energy reform.

For a time, Americans' newspapers, radio and television, were full of the superior performance of the three generations of water lithium batteries, as well as the energy industry revolution that can be brought about by the promotion of three generations of water lithium batteries.

Taking advantage of this shareholder wind, there were originally some dissenting forces within DuPont about the acquisition of the Gaddari Group.

It also gradually died down.

The manufacturing technology of large chemical equipment is exported, and DuPont has finally nodded its head.

On the contrary, in the face of Motorola, where the deadline for the annual report of listed companies is getting closer and closer, the stock price has strangely begun to dive off the cliff.

Inside Motorola, DuPont was caught off guard.

Although DuPont was immediately filed in federal court for breach of the commissioned development agreement, this lawsuit was protracted and could not shake DuPont's front.

The rogue face of an established consortium.

It's unmistakable.

And inside Motorola, Williams, who has only been in office for half a year.

is facing the most difficult moment of his career.

"Three billion dollars in cash, stocks and securities, and the rest in equivalent payments for five billion dollars in technology and equipment. At present, 30 states already have a stake in the Gadari Group, and once the transaction is completed, there is nothing we can do to prevent DuPont from entering the lithium battery market. ”

Williams nodded: "Thank you Director Kevin for the introduction, for the current situation, do you have any good suggestions?"

Kevin is the head of market intelligence at Motorola, and it's easy to hear about the business news that has surfaced.

Even the European real room, which traded with the Gadari Group for the industrialization technology of ion permeation membranes, was checked by him, and a clear vein connected this real room with DuPont.

DuPont has long accumulated the technology of permeable membranes, and ion membranes are widely used in salt chemical industry and chlor-alkali chemical industry.

In particular, the ion permeability membrane of the third-generation water lithium battery requires the core technology of proton exchange fuel cells.

In this field, DuPont is the undisputed leader, and only DuPont in the United States and the world had this technology in the 80s.

After the 21st century, very few companies such as Asahi Ka of Japan will be able to compete with DuPont to a limited extent.

And the ion permeability membrane DuPont commissioned by Motorola lost to an unknown real room in Europe in terms of progress, which is really shameful.

Williams, who was already a little panicked, had to send a plea of help to the executives in the conference room, hoping that they would have any good ideas.

However awaited him.

I'm afraid there's just endless bad news.

"Mr. President, I think as the Group's Chief Financial Officer, I must point out an impending crisis. Our 1985 annual report was not bad, in fact it was the opposite. Outstanding success in the mobile communications and rechargeable battery sectors should have a good upside effect on our share price. However, the general reaction in the stock market recently is that the stock price has continued to fall, accompanied by a large number of shares changing hands. I doubt ......"

The suspicions of the financial director Caroline were not spoken, but the conclusion was already in everyone's minds.

Needless to say, there are major shareholders in the market who are shipping.

"Could it be a means to suppress the stock price before the annual report is disclosed?"

"There is not much time left for us to submit our annual report, and if we want to buy on dips, it will not be such an inconspicuous decline and large trading volume. ”

Caroline shook her head in the negative.

The news leaked, and there is nothing more to say.

Williams if he still wants to sit in the CEO position.

He must change the current situation.

Obviously, the main reason for the decline in the stock is precisely because of Motorola's strong profitability in the rechargeable battery market in the previous year.

Under normal circumstances, with such a high-quality asset, Motorola's stock would jump by one-third to one-fifth, to say the least.

Now Motorola is facing possible strong competition from the Gadari Group in the rechargeable battery market, once the three generations of water lithium batteries are put into production, the current generation of water lithium batteries has no advantage at all, which in turn has formed a strict market disappointment for the future of Motorola.

"What if...... Can we mend our relationship with ST?"

One executive hesitated and said: "I was in contact with Mr. Hu in China, and it is obvious that he did not rule out the transfer of shares in Yizhuhu to us, but there was a difference in price. If we could have offered a higher price than DuPont and also mastered the Gaddari Group 50, the situation would not have been too bad. ”

This mention made the eyes of everyone in the conference room light up, and they couldn't help but nod their heads.

Gadari Group 50, plus 50% of the control of Motorola of Yizhuhu Company, so that Motorola has 75 shares of Yizhuhu Company, which is enough to form an absolute advantage and holding in Yizhuhu Company, and any important affairs can be decided in a word.

In many companies, the charter of the board of directors is not a simple majority of 51%, but requires three-fourths or four-fifths of the voting rights to approve the decision.

With 75 shares of Zhuhu Company, Motorola is equivalent to mastering the basic patent of water lithium battery.

There is ample capital to negotiate with DuPont.

"But our previous approach has already offended the Chinese very strictly, right?"

"So I think we need to show some sincerity, President Williams, what do you think?"

Williams had a tangled look on his face, and this mention was undoubtedly slapping him in the face.

But compared with face, it is obviously the vote that is more important.

If the impact of the Yizhuhu incident cannot be reversed, his position as the CEO may be over.

Poor to see.

He's only been in this position for half a year, and his chair hasn't even heated up.

"What sincerity do the Chinese need? Or is it to stop our 'hiring' among interns in China?"

"I'm afraid the price is not suitable, Motorola's capital is ...... compared to DuPont"

Executives shook their heads, it was DuPont, one of the top time-honored conglomerates in the United States.

Motorola, while powerful, can't be called an empire yet.

"Then only the fab side can start. ”

Williams thought for a moment and turned to Addison: "Mr. Addison, can you please go and contact Mr. Hu, what can we help with?"

Williams had arrogantly called Hu Wenhai to the headquarters and lined up for a "three-hall trial"

。

As a result, I didn't expect to be hit by the news of the Gaddari Group.

Now it's really shameless to face him again.

And Addison was the only high-level executive with reservations, and the relationship with Hu Wenhai was relatively not so tense.

It should be appropriate for him to come forward to do this and make peace.

Addison also knew that now was not the time for himself to be proud, so he nodded his head and took the job.

At the end of the meeting, Williams sat in the center and watched the executives disperse.

And yet in their gaze.

He clearly felt that his authority was collapsing.

"Mr. ......"

"I'm fine, let me be alone for a while. ”

Williams shook his head at his secretary, and the room was empty.

His ambition has finally climbed to this position, is this the end of it?

"Chinese? I won't just throw in the towel. ”

Williams' eyes lit up suddenly.

I turned around and rummaged through the pile of texts on the table for a long time, and finally found the texts sent by the intelligence director.

"Manufacturing technology for large chemical equipment?"

Williams had the words in his mouth: "Fab operation technology?"

"F-14 trade into China?"

A chain of intel was strung into a necklace and presented in Williams's mind.

Hu Wenhai of the new technology company, and the current business environment in China, the identity that has long been confirmed by him is remembered by him.

This Hu Wenhai is clearly the personal white glove of the Chinese government.

Behind these projects is the shadow of the Chinese government.

There is no support from Chinese state-owned enterprises.

What is the use of the manufacturing technology of the big chemical equipment he wants?

The terms of this equivalent deal are clearly tailored to China's domestic economic conditions.

In that case...... "Hey, DuPont, you're going to help the Communists, won't I?"

"Get Mr. Addon back for me!"

…… This is not the first time that Hu Wenhai has received a commercial counselor of the Chinese Embassy, he even lived in the consulate for a period of time, and he has not been in contact with this Counselor Qian a lot at all.

"I am now a little worried about the introduction of domestic fertilizer plants, if the Planning Commission can come forward to slow down the introduction of domestic large fertilizer equipment, and when I complete this transaction, domestic enterprises have mastered the technology of domestic large fertilizer equipment, I believe that it will definitely save a considerable amount of foreign exchange for the country." ”

Counselor Qian was like a primary school student, holding a notepad and keeping the record in his hand: "Okay, I will report this matter to China." In addition, experts have been urgently organized in China to conduct a thorough investigation of chemical equipment technology, and the specific technology and equipment catalog can be sorted out in a week to half a month at most. As for the introduction of PX projects and PI technology, the state is also seizing the time to discuss. Coal chemical and petrochemical technology will also be strengthened. ”

"Oh, that's good. ”

Hu Wenhai nodded, DuPont is a chemical industry giant.

That's all the oil and water that can be squeezed.

It's not easy to scrape together a $5 billion job list.

Which technologies are at what level in China, and which technologies need to be introduced, these are all other forces that can count this information except national ministries and commissions.

Of course, these technologies and equipment will not be directly handed over to the relevant ministries and commissions, but will be calculated as investment in the capital of China Railway Construction Investment Bank.

It is up to the China Railway Construction Investment Bank to decide how the equipment and technology will be used.

This is also the fundamental reason why Hu Wenhai has to spend his time to set up China Railway Construction Investment Bank.

Without this platform, he would not be able to wrestle with these ministries and state-owned enterprises.

Either he doesn't engage in these industrial equipment and technologies.

Either it will be brought back, or it will be carved up by the country.

But for the current state-owned enterprises in China, Hu Wenhai really has little confidence.

It is said that the cub sells the grandfather's field and is not distressed, can the state-owned enterprises in China that are used to being uncles cherish the things that fell from the sky?

If you don't pay a little more price, don't carefully and seriously inspect and accept the management and technical level of the enterprise, and even the research investment in follow-up technology, Hu Wenhai will definitely not give these technical equipment to others.

With the platform and background of China Railway Construction Investment Bank, what he says will be by these "bureaucrats"

Listen carefully.

Hu Wenhai finally straightened out: "My request is still the same." The $3 billion in cash traded by DuPont can be returned to China, but it can only go into the account of China Railway Construction Investment Bank. ”

"The Economic Commission is still discussing and studying this matter......

Counselor Qian was obviously a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said: "I will send Mr. Hu's request back to China, and ask my superiors to make up their minds." ”

"Then I'll hear the good news from Counselor Qian. ”

As soon as Hu Wenhai sent Counselor Qian away, Lu Yinglong, the future father-in-law on the back foot, walked in with a red face.

"Mr. Hu, good news! Motorola has stopped accepting our interns. Those who have changed jobs before have also made it clear that they will not accept them. No, their technical director, Addison, personally sent Jowen over in person. He wants to meet you and show Motorola's sincerity. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yinglong showed an obvious expression of disdain.

Sneered: "Hey, Motorola's sincerity." ”

"Uncle Lu, don't care too much, there are no eternal enemies and friends in the mall. ”

Hu Wenhai was not surprised, nodded and said, "Let Addison come over, I still have some oil and water in Torola." ”

Lu Yinglong was dumbfounded: "Mr. Hu, see you now? This Motorola has reversed itself, it's really not a thing." ”

Hu Wenhai nodded: "You don't need to hang him." See you now, let's not engage in those small means, we want to be atmospheric!"

During this time, Lu Yinglong really suffered a lot from Motorola, Motorola poached corners, and could talk about money, treatment, green cards, and social environment, while he could only talk about ideals, spirit, sacrifice, and dedication, and many people had long been "clichés" about these

Tired of listening.

The person who changes jobs is simply, in a sentence of later generations, don't talk about ideals and money, Lao Tzu's ideal is to be rich!

Finally, this Jedi turned over and raised his eyebrows, saying that Lu Yinglong was not angry with Motorola, how could it be?

Motorola's technical director personally came to terminate the contract with the job-changers - to give the company a lot of damages for breach of the work agreement, and after getting the work agreement of these workers, he simply tore up the promised conditions.

More than 40 interns who were about to change jobs were dumbfounded on the spot, and they became "lonely ghosts" without organization

。

Lu Yinglong nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "Also, Mr. Hu, how do you deal with the interns who change jobs?"

"Let them continue to intern, but the status of regular employees will be forgotten. If you are willing to continue working in the new section, you should become a temporary worker. ”

"Okay, let them be temporary workers. ”

Lu Yinglong showed a smile and took a breath in his heart.

If this group of people doesn't deal with it, how can they be worthy of the others who have stood the test?

Hu Wenhai's decision can be regarded as a rule.

Lu Yinglong turned to leave, and after a while, Addison's voice rang out at the door.

"Mr. Hu, I have good news for you!"
