Chapter 686: A Negotiation That Didn't Go Smoothly
The Sultan personally brought in the brewed tea, to Lee Guangyu and Bob Galvin, before exiting the office.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Galvin, you must rarely drink tea, can you taste it and see how this tea is?"
Bob Calvin usually drinks coffee, but this time he is also a casual guest, he knows that in East Asia and the Chinese people like to drink tea, and even more so in Li Guangyu and other family heads.
After he stopped Li Guangyu's words, he picked up the teacup and tasted it a little.
"This tea is very good, and Mr. Li's tea must be the best in tea. ”
Li Guangyu dared to guarantee that Bob Galvin was not sincere at all, and that he just made it up at random.
However, Li Guangyu will not debunk this, people are giving themselves face, and Li Guangyu began to formally communicate with him about cooperation.
"Mr. Galvin, you Motorola developed this phone as early as '73, and it has been ten years, and it is still not commercial, which is also a huge loss for you, why not license some of the technology to us this time, so that you can recover a large part of the research costs. ”
Although they are anxious about the current delay in entering commercial use in China, they will not easily transfer and license technology to others.
This is a joke at all, they still hope that they will take the lead now and be able to expand their Lokia market, if they license or transfer the technology to the Li consortium, wouldn't it be directly cultivating a competitor for themselves?
Even if he can obtain patent fees in the mobile phone produced by the Li consortium after licensing, he is still unwilling to agree.
The Lee consortium owns telecommunications groups and semiconductor companies, and he believes that after licensing some technologies to them, the people under the Lee consortium will soon be able to make progress in some technologies, and then they will give up using their own technology, which will make them unable to make more profits in this area.
As for the buyout technology, the price is too high, and the Li consortium will not agree to sell the technology at a normal price, and they Motorola will not do it.
Bob Galvin said: "Mr. Li, we have no intention of selling Motorola for the time being, your Xiangjiang Telephone Group is a communications company, we can cooperate in this regard, your group establishes a base station, and our mobile phone enters this market, I believe this is a win-win situation." ”
Li Guangyu will not agree to such cooperation, although he thinks that the telephone company will still be able to make very good profits in the future, and Li Guangyu is going to enter the mobile phone market, and the communication market alone will obviously not be able to satisfy his appetite.
The future mobile phone market is too huge, especially the future mobile phone is quite strong, in some functions can be compared with the computer, the future people can not have a computer, but absolutely not without a mobile phone.
Motorola wants to monopolize the mobile phone market, Li Guangyu will not agree, he still doesn't believe it, he has funds in his hands and can't get a mobile phone.
Li Guangyu said: "If you Motorola just want to cooperate in this way, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach a cooperation agreement, we Xiangjiang Telephone Group can not only operate the communication industry, we will not give up in terms of mobile phones, and I hope that your company can show some sincerity, we hope to reach a mutually beneficial and win-win agreement with your Motorola company." ”
Bob Galvin also knows that if he only expects his mobile phone to enter the Xiangjiang market, and the Li consortium cannot enter the mobile phone industry, it is estimated that this cooperation is impossible.
It's just that at present, he has no right to decide the following matters, and he still needs to discuss this matter with his father to see how his father decides, and then he can continue the next negotiations with the Heung Kong Electric Group.
"Mr. Li, I can't make my own decisions on some issues, I still need to discuss with my father, and I hope you can consider our opinions, I believe that the future mobile communication market is very large, and the cooperation between Heung Kong Electric Light Group and us will definitely get very rich returns. ”
……
After Li Guangyu sent Bob Galvin away, he specially convened a high-level meeting of the group, and Li Guangyu briefly talked to them about the negotiation with Galvin.
Zhao Qihui, president of the group, said: "Li Sheng, Motorola relies on the advantages of their first development, and is reluctant to license the technology, so as not to increase its opponents, we want to obtain the technology from them this time, I am afraid that it is very difficult, even if we can obtain it, I am afraid that the cost is very high, I think we still need to find another way in this regard." ”
Zhao Qihui has been working in Heung Kong Electric Light Group for more than ten years, and now as the president of the group, he very much hopes that the group can grow and develop. Now is the best opportunity for the group, this time Li Guangyu injected 5 billion Hong Kong dollars into the group for the group's expansion in the mobile phone industry and mobile communication industry.
At present, Motorola only expects to cooperate in the mobile communications industry, as for the mobile phone, they want to eat alone, Zhao Qihui obviously does not want to give up the mobile phone market.
If this market is abandoned this time, he estimates that the group will only be able to do business in the communications industry in the future, and it will be impossible to expand other industries.
Li Guangyu said: "We have to make two preparations, on the one hand, Qi Hui will continue to communicate with Motorola, and at the same time, He Jin will go to the United Kingdom and work with President Qin Yu to acquire some of the technologies developed by mobile phones, as well as mobile communication technology, which will also be acquired by me, and if the funds are insufficient, I will continue to inject capital into the group." ”
Zhao Qihui and He Jin and other high-level executives are very happy, this time 5 billion Hong Kong dollars is enough for them to acquire some technologies in mobile phones and mobile communications, and some technologies are available in semiconductor companies, in fact, the biggest problem is the follow-up research and development and signal towers, and now Li Guangyu promises to continue to inject capital, they don't need to have any worries.
The senior executives of Li's group are satisfied with everything, but there is only one point, they are more depressed, other groups are trying to find a way to get loans in the bank, and they, the groups controlled by Li's, are currently in debt, except for Xingyue Real Estate Group, which is a joint venture group with loans.
Fortunately, the Li consortium has sufficient funds, so that the development of their major groups has not been greatly affected.
These high-level executives also admired Li Guangyu's ability to make money, so that the Li consortium did not need to borrow from any bank under the condition of rapid expansion.
This also makes the Li consortium itself with little risk and stronger resilience in the face of crises.
He Jin said: "I will take a flight to London tomorrow to fly to England, Rockia has a lot of technology, they are not currently focused on mobile phones, we go to them to buy this technology, the success rate is still very large." ”
"After you pass, you must go to Lokia with the senior management of the British Telecom Group, which is more conducive to the acquisition, and the influence of the British Continent over there cannot be underestimated. ”
Subsequently, Li Guangyu also inquired about the construction of the R&D center and asked them to pay attention to the excavation of talents in this regard.
