"Has Xinke's Hu and his girls arranged it?" "We hired the best banquet company in Austin to ensure that those Chinese who have never seen the world can not even speak English."

"Alright, let's get down to business. ”

A lot has happened to Motorola in the last year.

Due to the friction with ST in the joint venture company Yizhuhu Company, the relationship between the two companies can only be said to be maintained as a "partnership"

this level.

It can't be said to be detached, but it is by no means like glue.

Although the Motorola fab in Austin is open to Chinese interns, the Americans are not stupid enough to give up all their skills.

Although the Chinese have learned a lot, to be honest, running a fab is too much of an over-the-top topic.

In order to hand in the perfect answers, the Chinese interns still have to work hard.

In addition, the agency business of water lithium battery battery has also made Motorola taste a lot of sweetness.

Just the channel agency fee, in 1985, it was conservatively estimated that the profit was more than one billion, not to mention the application of lithium water in the analog signal of the big brother, which not only greatly reduced the volume of the mobile communication product, but also increased the battery life.

Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are taking up a sizable chunk of Motorola's commercial landscape.

As a result, Addison, the director of communication technology who played a big role in the patent transaction of lithium water battery, has now won the title of Motorola's new CTO-chief technology officer with this achievement.

However, it wasn't all good for him, as a big challenge awaited him.

"Okay, Mr. Addison, I want to know how the research and development progress of our third-generation water lithium battery is?

It was Williams, the CEO of Motorola, who spoke, yes, the former general manager of Motorola's semiconductor division, the guy who had been stuck in the new intern training process.

Although there were a few minor troubles in his tenure, the semiconductor division is the core division of Motorola, and his position has not been greatly affected by this.

Rose, the old CEO of Motorola, retired last year, and he was already a transitional figure.

Williams united several important shareholders and became Motorola's new chief executive officer.

After he took over the position of executive president, what was in front of him was the reality of the company's product advantages formed by relying on water lithium battery technology.

This is undoubtedly the lifeblood of a time-honored multinational enterprise.

Even if ST did not show any hostility, Motorola could not rest assured that it would only be an agent.

What's more, there were a lot of twists and turns in the cooperation between Motorola and Xinke later, and the two sides did not turn their faces, but there was really not much left.

The most serious crisis and challenge facing Motorola.

It is to master the third-generation water lithium battery technology and get rid of the clamp of Xinke Company.

Addison frowned.

Under Williams's inquiry and the gaze of the entire management of Motorola, he still nodded and replied with difficulty.

"The technology of the third generation of water lithium battery has basically matured, and now the problem is the industrial production of ion permeability membrane, and we Motorola have no technical advantages in this regard!"

"Can't you cooperate with other companies or contract development?"

"We are already in contact with other companies, and the most advanced ion permeable membrane technology at the moment is naturally DuPont. From our contact with DuPont, it is very difficult to produce permeable membranes, and if there is no way to significantly reduce costs, it will be difficult for the product to have an advantage in terms of cost performance. ”

"Does DuPont have what it takes to solve production problems?"

EDITION took the plunge.

"It should be possible, but it will take time." ”

"Hurry up and contact DuPont, and we must do our best to take out the low-cost permeable membrane. ”

Williams looked like he was fighting against the odds, and in front of the entire management, he had to show his determination and authority.

"I see. ”

Addison nodded in response.

"But Mr. Williams, there is a more strict question. The product patents of ion permeable membranes are in the hands of Yizhuhu Company, and Xinke Company has 50 copies of this company. And it is the main source of its profits. Even if we get the production technology of low-cost permeable membrane, the patent is still restricted by Yizhuhu Company. Unless we can get all the shares of Yizhuhu Company, the core patent of the third generation of water lithium battery is still not in our hands......"

Williams nodded, his executive, and asked in a deep voice, "Everyone." Do you have anything to say about that?"

"Can you buy the shares of the Yizhuhu Company in the hands of the Chinese?"

An executive asked.

"Sorry, we probably can't afford to buy 50 copies of the Heterophyllous Lake Company. ”

Addison shook his head.

“hat？”

The executive who asked the question couldn't believe it, and there was a "You're kidding me" in his voice

meaning.

"I'm telling the truth, let's put it this way, at present, the patents and sales channels of water lithium batteries are in the hands of Yizhuhu Company, and we and Xinke Company account for half each. Last year, ST delivered 150,000 sets a day. We have more than $1 billion in book earnings at Yizhuhu Company, and of course this money has not yet been divided. This means that the other shareholder, ST, also has at least $1 billion in dividends. Ladies and gentlemen, the price of the Golden Dragon batteries supplied by ST to Yizhuhu is US$20 per set, and the price of our terminal is US$80 per set. Allow me to say a foul word, this TM is more profitable than selling white/powder!"

Addison pursed his lips, apparently sneering at the guys who didn't know the value of lithium water, and then continued his rambling calculations.

Truth be told, the account had been in his stomach more than once, and he was more eager than anyone else to buy the Heterophyllous Lake Company, yet he knew better than anyone how difficult it was.

"If you want to acquire Yizhuhu Company, you obviously can't use the fixed asset accounting method. Based on the standard five-year rate of return, even if we assume that the market is hungry in the first year, so the demand is extremely greater than the supply, and after meeting the market demand in the next few years, the demand will be calculated as a decreasing - well, to be honest, these words can also deceive fools, and the current supply of lithium water batteries cannot even make up for the loss of the US market, which is a strict shortage of demand. What's more, at present, lithium water batteries are only supplied to the US market, except for China, Japan and the United States. There is basically no supply of water lithium batteries. ”

"So, even the most conservative calculations, the company will earn more than $4 billion in the next five years. Coupled with the value of the basic patent of water lithium battery, to be honest, the Chinese were crazy to register all possible patents. Intermediate patents, preparation method patents, product patents, solution formula patents, amorphous patents, and all composition patents. That's why our three generations of lithium water battery technology. The reason for the inevitability of Yizhuhu Company is that as long as it is still a technology developed on the basis of water lithium battery. You have to bow to the Yizhuhu Company. ”

"The next five years of earnings plus the acquisition of these patents, or the supply contracts of ST and the distribution channels that we have put in place. Ladies and gentlemen, Heterogeneous Lake is now a 'poor billionaire'. ”

Addison said as he stretched out two fingers with both hands and bent them next to his head: "I mean, this broken company is really worth tens of billions." ”

"And, I have to remind you to make a decision as soon as possible. Because of this damn broken company, the expected price is skyrocketing every day. The reason why it did not attract the attention of the market is simply because it did not disclose the accounts. So no one knows what it's worth. And we at Motorola are a public company, which means that we have to disclose our 1985 annual report before April, and then the world will know the value of the company. ”

All the Motorola executives present looked at each other when Addison said this, and they never thought that the Heterophylla Company, which was almost a puppet, really wanted to study the original value of such a large sum of money.

Listed companies are required to disclose the previous year's annual report in the first fiscal quarter of each year.

Thinking that the shares in the hands of Guoxinke were acquired by other consortia or multinational companies, Motorola would never have completed its strategic plan to acquire Yizhuhu without taking off a layer of skin.

If the company is not in its own hands, Motorola's third-generation water lithium battery strategy will not be able to advance, otherwise no matter how much you do, you will end up working for others.

That's the pain of the underlying patent not being in hand.

Even with such a big risk, it is impossible for Motorola to stop now.

Not to mention how much money has been invested in the research and development of the third generation of lithium water battery, Motorola loses a lot of money every year due to research and development failure, and it is by no means unaffordable.

The key is the benefits brought by the water lithium battery technology, as well as the future market prospects of the third generation of water lithium batteries.

Theoretically, the ultra-high energy density and low cost of charging speed of the three generations of water lithium batteries, the fully developed lithium battery market, the global annual two or three billion is absolutely no problem.

If you take into account the use of lithium batteries and electric motors to partially replace the internal combustion engine.

The 100 billion dollar market is also it!

As long as Motorola is still an ideal enterprise that constantly pursues profit and capital, it is impossible for it to refuse such a temptation, which is an opportunity to build a great enterprise!

There was a moment of silence in the conference room before the executives offered uncertain comments.

"Five billion dollars, if we issue additional shares to raise funds in the market, can we ......"

Without waiting for the executive to finish speaking, Williams preemptively vetoed the proposal: "The sudden issuance of additional shares will inevitably attract the attention of the market, how can we explain the use of such a large sum of money as five billion?"

"What about targeted financing?"

"To make matters worse, the wolf noses on Wall Street are much more sensitive than the average stockholder. ”

"Bank loans?"

"Banks and Wall Street wear a pair of pants. ”

"What's more, I'm afraid this information won't be hidden for a long time, maybe someone in our senior management has a relationship with Wall Street, or there are many investment institutions in Motorola's major shareholders that are not reliable at all......"

As Williams said this, little Edgar of the Legal Department moved his ass slightly unnaturally.

"And what do you mean, Mr. President?"

Williams nodded: "I have been in contact with Chinese Hu of ST Corporation, and as far as my intuition is concerned, he seems to have invested more attention in wafer technology than lithium water battery." ”

When Addison heard this, he hurriedly objected: "But Mr. President, after we stuck the neck of the Chinese wafer factory interns last time, we signed a supplementary agreement with them, and this means can no longer be used!"

"It's not necessarily the same method last time, we can change the method a little bit. For example, these Chinese seem to have good internship results? I keep them all and work in the United States, and we Motorola can offer them a new job, a job in the United States! I think no one can resist this temptation, right?"

"They signed a work agreement, if we poached against ST. It is likely that there will be a high default fee to pay. ”

Williams scoffed: "Addison, that's just an agreement." We can choose to violate the agreement first and then compensate the Chinese. At least for this reason, we can greatly alleviate the pressure on our finances. By the time the court decides, the fines we pay and the money we paid to acquire the company may be less than $5 billion. Besides, it's just a ploy, and it's not going to poach all their workers. As long as the Chinese Huken sells the shares to us at a low price. We're going to stop doing it. ”

"Allow me to object to you doing this!"

"I think it's stupid to make ST our enemy," said Addison. ”

"It's just a Chinese company. They were lucky to come up with lithium water. ”

Williams disagreed: "As long as we get the Yizhuhu Company, that Hu in China will not even be qualified to enter the headquarters of Motorola." ”

"You don't know ...... him"

Williams resolutely interrupted Addison's speech: "Well, I don't need to get to know a Chinese nouveau riche. What do other people think about what I said?"

...... "Xinxin Jiajia, ouch, it's really a lot heavier!"

Lu Yinglong held his two daughters with a happy face.

I haven't been with my family for almost half a year, and I'm alone in the U.S. for a team of hundreds of interns.

How can it be said that there is no psychological exhaustion?

However, in the moment of his two daughters, Lu Yinglong's exhaustion disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Not only him, but dozens of big girls and little daughters-in-law who went to the United States with Hu Wenhai seemed to have abandoned the shyness and shyness of the Chinese at this time and became enthusiastic and unrestrained.

There are people who hold hands in public, hug, or even kiss.

The bachelors who poked their heads out of the dormitory windows erupted in earth-shattering noises.

There is no way to separate them.

In fact, one floor of the dormitory has long been emptied, and a "cave room" has been prepared specifically for these people

, let them be newlyweds.

In the ghost crying wolf howl of a group of bachelors, a pair of young couples either enjoy a rare reunion, or simply provoke to make intimate actions in the eyes of everyone.

There is even a male colleague who is quite bored on weekdays.

actually hugged his wife, and then turned around and went upstairs.

It is only at this time that these young people who study selflessly on weekdays can release their hormones to their heart's content.

Even bachelors have to take the opportunity to shout loudly and carnival, otherwise, it is not enough to comfort the suffering and sweat they have paid.

They are bachelors though.

But optimistic by nature.

Although poor, the possibilities are endless.

Reckless, but energetic.

What they have is not a small but certain happiness, but a great and hard work, which is the spirit of the people of the eighties.

To describe them with a slogan that has been shouted badly, the unique magic of people in the eighties is to be strong.

No matter how many scars, how many well-known elites, and how many historical records, the workers of the eighties were not as numb, ignorant and depressed as they said.

On the contrary, perhaps they are immature and live in poverty, but their spiritual world is rich.

Young people in this era do not need to be oblique 45° and scissor hands for photography, and naturally have a spirit on their faces.

They don't need contact lenses, their eyes are naturally as charming as the starry sky.

There is no need for cosmetics, and the friendship alabaster is more handsome than any stick star!

Hurdle vests and blue-gray overalls, rubber shoes and heirloom Shanghai watches, just a few things, standing there is a spit and a nail.

Hu Wenhai sometimes thinks about it, but in fact, he feels sorry for the younger generations of those born in the 80s.

This group of young people in the 80s was cultivated by the state according to the standards of successors, and they really became successors in the 80s, so there are no regrets, right?

It's a pity that the younger generations born in this era don't have this blessing, and the education they receive in school is still to train them as the successors of the country.

The political lessons of elementary and junior high schools are the essence of the country's organizational laws, and the true face of society is placed in front of them.

However, when those juniors came out of school, they had to face an embarrassing situation, and they were trained according to the standards of successors, only to find that the country no longer needed them as successors.

The imbalance between knowledge and reality brings about the tearing of life and the social gap.

The saddest thing is not a numb life, the most cruel thing is to give a person dignity, and then completely trample on his dignity.

People born in the 80s, as long as they pass the political class when they go to school, how can they be the essence of society thirty years later?

The most painful thing is this, your world, from a young school taught you "exploitation"

"Surplus value"

"**Declaration"

These things, and then make you clearly aware that you are being exploited and taken away from the surplus value, even if you shout the Internationale, but in order to live well, you still have to be sent to be exploited, and you have to be happily exploited.

Isn't it the cruelest thing to be?

If you want to live in a muddy way, you have to be sober and painful to realize the reality of society, and you must bow to reality.

Back to the big question and back to the disciple rules, I really can't tell which is "happiness"

Target.

Hu Wenhai and the Girl Scouts arrived in Austin at noon, and in the evening, Austin's best banquet company set up a lavish and sumptuous dinner on the grass behind the dormitory.

Chinese interns with their families poured out of the dormitory and carnivaled on the grass along with the bachelor interns.

Perhaps it is because they have been in the United States for a long time, and these young people have learned more or less the skills of the American people to be good at singing and dancing.

A few young people danced to the carnival music, bringing together those colleagues who were not very good at dancing, and finally the whole meadow was full of "demons dancing"

The scene of it.

Hu Wenhai held a bottle of beer in his hand, sat in the corner and roasted a whole leg of lamb on the grill of an American BBQ, and took a knife in his hand to cut and eat, but he was not comfortable.

"Mr. Hu, Motorola's Addison wants to see you. ”

"Oh, that's an old friend, please come here. ”

Hu Wenhai opened a bottle of beer with a bang and motioned for Qin Kai to come with a bottle too, but was predictably refused.

"EDITION, EDITION, long time no see! Ha, Motorola's smartest EDITION!"

Hu Wenhai shoved the beer into Addison's hand and touched him.

"Mr. Hu is really interested, the world of young people is enviable!"

Addison is now in his early forties, and no matter how well the American people can sing and dance, after all, they still have to take care of the parts of old arms and legs.

"You may be seated, Mr. EDITION. Motorola has made a lot of money this year, I heard that you are already the CTO of Motorola?

"Haha, this is thanks to the water lithium battery technology of Xinke Company. Motorola may make a lot of money, but ST only makes more!"

"Hey, our Xinke is just a small company, and it can't compare to Motorola! There is only one King Long battery that is the main product, how can it be compared with so many product lines of Motorola? I heard that the profit of Yizhuhu Company last year was more than 2 billion, I don't know when we will pay dividends?"

"Well, it may take some time for the accountants to prepare. ”

Addison smiled awkwardly.

"I came today because I have something I want to inform Mr. Hu. ”

"Oh, what's the matter with Motorola?"

"It's not a big deal, Motorola hopes to buy the shares of Yizhuhu Company in Mr. Hu's hands, please make a price." ”

Hu Wenhai nodded, the water lithium battery was originally ready to be sold, and he did not pay attention to Yizhuhu Company.

When he has a wafer factory in his hands, the cash flow will only be greater than it is now, and he doesn't care whether he sells it or eats dividends.

"Last year's company financial report, I think Mr. Addison also, the annual profit of more than two billion, which is deducted from operating costs. ”

"That's right. ”

Addison nodded stubbornly.

"In that case, I won't say more. ”

Hu Wenhai stretched out a finger: "Ten billion dollars, a fixed price." Cash, stocks, and bonds, any payment method is fine. ”
