Chapter 685: Motorola
On December 13, Li Guangyu met with Bob Galvin, the next head of the Motorola family, who came to visit Xiangjiang at the headquarters of Heung Kong Telephone Group, and his father Robert Galvin is the current chairman of Motorola.
Motorola is very excited about the Lee consortium seeking cooperation with them in communications, this mobile phone has been developed in their laboratory as early as 73 years, but it still cannot reach commercial use, it will take ten years, and the investment at that time is still not profitable.
Although their new product has been finalized and is now applying to the government, it is estimated that within a year or two, it will be officially used in the commercial field.
But what the future results will be, no one at the top of Motorola has a bottom in their hearts, and the arrival of the Li consortium this time makes them full of hope, and when the US market has not yet opened, they can increase their business abroad, which undoubtedly makes them feel very happy.
In the past, although they heard some information about the Li Consortium, they did not know much about the actual situation of the Li Consortium because they did not have too many business contacts.
And the strong strength of the Li consortium surprised them, they Motorola is already a very powerful group in the United States, but compared with the Li consortium, they are too far from them.
In particular, the cash flow of the Li consortium is very terrifying, and the area of Xiangjiang is also monopolized by the Xiangjiang telephone company of the Li consortium in terms of communication, and Motorola is quite interested in cooperating with the Xiangjiang telephone group, this is a very good test field, as long as this side is successful, their current predicament of Motorola will be lifted.
Although Bob Galvin already knew that Li Guangyu was very young in the information, he was still full of emotion when he looked at Li Guangyu opposite.
As the approved successor of Motorola, he himself is already the object of envy in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared to this, he is nothing.
After half a century of development, Motorola is currently worth about $5 billion, while the Galvin family is not wholly owned, and the family assets are only about $3.5 billion.
And how much assets the young man on the other side has is still a mystery, because he has too many groups, and the shares in it are also very complicated.
Just with these groups he puts on the surface, the market value is already countless times that of their Motorola.
Such a huge asset is only developed by the young man in front of him in five years, and the data shows that when he took over the family business, his family assets were only tens of millions of dollars.
As many newspapers and magazines have said about him, this is writing a legend of wealth, and his development experience is magical and irreproducible.
After Bob Galvin entered the office, Li Guangyu got up and said to him: "Mr. Galvin welcomes you to Xiangjiang, I believe that you will have a very good harvest in Xiangjiang this time." ”
Originally, Li Guangyu didn't need to pay so much attention to Bob Galvin's visit this time, after all, he is not the head of the Galwin family now, let alone the chairman of the Motorola Group, and it is enough to have the senior management of the Xiangjiang Telephone Group to greet him.
It's just that Li Guangyu knows very well how big the mobile phone market will be in the future, so he specially came to Heung Kong Telephone Group to meet him and have some exchanges with him.
Bob Calvin was still very happy that Li Guangyu met him personally, and he himself knew how different his status was from Li Guangyu at present, and he didn't even expect that Li Guangyu would meet with him, and it would be very good to be able to communicate directly with the president of Heung Kong Telephone Group this time.
He said with a smile: "Mr. Li, being able to meet you is my biggest gain in Xiangjiang this time." You are now not only in Hong Kong, but also in the United States, and countless young people regard you as their idol, especially those young entrepreneurs, who hope to be able to succeed in business like you. ”
Lee invited Bob Galvin to sit in the reception area, and after asking him what he was drinking, he asked Sultan, the general manager of the group's administration department, to ask the staff to bring a pot of tea.
Regardless of whether Bob Galvin really likes to drink tea or knows his own habits, since he himself said that he drinks tea instead of coffee, Li Guangyu naturally follows what he says.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Galvin, I don't know what you think about cooperating with our group, how long will it take for you to launch commercial use in the United States?"
"Mr. Li, our technology has been tested and has been very successful, but it still needs a period of approval from the government, plus the construction of base stations for mobile phones, so we can't be sure of the specific time for commercial use, but this time will definitely not exceed two years. ”
Regarding communication, they Motorola can't do anything, after all, it is also related to information security, and the government is regulated, and it will definitely not let Motorola operate independently.
They are very aware of the influence of the Li consortium in Xiangjiang, and this person also holds 50% of the shares in the British Telecom Group, and that company is currently managed by the personnel of the Li consortium.
As long as they reach a cooperation with the Lee consortium, they Motorola will not only open up the Asian market, but also open the European market.
However, there are many things in this cooperation that still need to be communicated with Heung Kong Electric Group, and at present, Heung Kong Electric Group hopes to buy a number of their technologies about this mobile phone, so that they can produce it independently.
This is obviously unacceptable to Motorola, they have been developing for so many years, not to sell the technology only once, they hope that the Heung Kong Telephone Group can cooperate with their telecommunications department, so that their group business into Hong Kong, as for the mobile phone, they prefer the Heung Kong Telephone Group as their processing base in Asia.
However, this is obviously impossible, and in the past two days, he and the senior management of the Heung Kong Telephone Group have not been able to reach an agreement on this issue at all, and Bob Galvin also hopes to get some good news from Li Guangyu at this meeting.
Naturally, Li Guangyu himself will not let the Heung Kong Telephone Group become a processing base for Motorola, and he hopes that it is best to directly buy out the patents in this area, so that they can directly use the Heung Kong Telephone Group.
At present, Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park has begun to build a laboratory on mobile phones of Heung Kong Telephone Group, and the future group must create its own mobile phone brand, and OEM is not what Heung Kong Telephone Group wants to do.
Today, Li Guangyu came to meet Bob Galvin in the hope that Motorola can make some concessions in this regard, so that the two can reach some cooperation.
Li Guangyu had already thought about it, and after this time, he asked He Jin to go to Europe in person to contact Qin Yu, chairman and president of British Telecom Group, and they would go to Lokia to acquire some of their technology in this area.
