When He Jin and the others went to Finland to negotiate with Nokia for the acquisition of mobile phones and mobile communication technology, Du Yuemei personally went to Sweden's Ericsson Group to discuss with them the licensing buyout agreement of mobile communication technology.

Whether it is the Heung Kong Telephone Group or the British Telecom Group, if they want to develop mobile communications in the future, they will need this kind of technology, without which they will not be able to become mobile communication operators.

At present, Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson and other companies are better in this regard, Motorola is located in the United States, and it is too difficult to buy out the technology in them, but Nokia and Ericsson are located in Finland and Sweden.

Now these people don't know how big the market will be in this area in the future, and Li Guangyu will be able to develop with confidence through a one-time buyout authorization, and conduct research on the basis of these technologies in the future, and occupy an advantage in this in the future.

Du Yuemei met with Roy Smith, the current president of Ericsson, in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, to communicate on mobile communications.

For Du Yuemei, the new strong woman in the United Kingdom, Roy Smith listened to a lot of things about her, in recent years, Du Yuemei has made headlines in the mainstream media in Western Europe several times, a woman under the age of 30 is in charge of the largest automobile group in the United Kingdom, and is also responsible for all the industries of the Li consortium in Western Europe, and the power is very huge.

Ericsson Group attaches great importance to the market in Asia, this year they began to enter the market in the mainland region, they are also very aware of the strength of the Li consortium, if the Ericsson Group can reach some cooperation with the Li consortium, it will make their performance to a higher level.

In the subsequent communication, when he learned that the Li consortium wanted to buy out their technology, Roy Smith refused without hesitation, and their Ericsson Group's future focus is on mobile communications, how could they package and sell this technology.

He said to Du Yuemei: "Ms. Du, I believe you also understand that we Ericsson Group will not sell the mobile communication business. We at Ericsson also hope to reach a cooperation agreement with you, so that we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results in mobile communications, and we can establish mobile communication companies in the form of joint ventures in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, I don't know what you think?"

Of course, Du Yuemei will not be willing to accept such cooperation, what their Li consortium needs is technology, if they cooperate like this, they will always be subject to Ericsson Group, which is not the result they want.

Li Guangyu has made it clear that he is very optimistic about the future of the market in this area, even if he spends more money to acquire it now, it doesn't matter, she has already obtained permission from Li Guangyu, as long as the price here is not too outrageous, it can be directly acquired, Li Guangyu will have special funds for this technology acquisition, and there is no need for Britain to worry about the problem of funds.

If you cooperate with Ericsson like this, where do you need to come here in person, whether it is Motorola or Nokia, they are willing to cooperate like this, but Li Guangyu does not want to adopt this kind of cooperation, and the technology still has to be in his own hands to be safe.

Du Yuemei said: "Mr. Smith, I believe you are also aware that our senior management of the Li family is also negotiating with Motorola and Nokia, if this is the case, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to reach a cooperation agreement." I don't know if you have any plans to license this technology? Our Li consortium is willing to carry out a one-time buyout authorization, and you can also invest in subsequent research and development with this fund, I don't know what you think?"

Roy Smith knew very well that if the Li consortium could not obtain this technology, it was estimated that it would be impossible for Ericsson Group to reach a cooperation agreement with them.

At present, the Li consortium has Heung Kong Telephone Group and British Telecom Group, and if you authorize it, you can make money twice at one time, because if you authorize one, one of the two groups cannot use it.

Of course, it is not excluded that one group merges another, in this case, they are a group, and there is really nothing they can do on their side.

Fortunately, he understands the situation on the side of the British Telecom Group, which still has 50% of the government's shares, and it is not easy for the Li consortium to merge, and the Li consortium will obviously not be willing to let the British Telecom Group merge the Xiangjiang Telephone Group.

They Ericsson Group mainly relies on technology and services and products, and in some regions it is also licensed technology, but under normal circumstances, there are few such one-time buyouts, and they are not very willing to make one-time buyouts.

The only difference between a one-time license buyout and a technology buyout is that they can only use the technology for their own company, and they don't need to transfer the technology to a third party, and there is no difference between the others.

Now Roy Smith has to consider whether to return a large amount of funds at one time for the group's subsequent R&D and expansion, or whether to go through the long term and not carry out buyout authorization.

He knows very well that the Lee consortium will definitely not just negotiate technology acquisition and licensing with him, whether it is Nokia or Motorola, or some companies in the United States that have mobile communication technology, they will be their targets.

In particular, Bell Labs in the United States has always been their fierce rival, and its mobile communication technology is also very perfect, and the Lee consortium will definitely not let go of discussions with them.

Roy Smith said: "Ms. Du, it seems that you attach great importance to the future mobile communication market, and we Ericsson are very willing to reach a cooperation agreement with you, but I still need to discuss the specific cooperation plan with the senior management." Tomorrow morning, I will give you an answer. ”

Du Yuemei knew that such a big thing could not be completed in a single meeting, but fortunately, she didn't have too important things for the Bentley Group at present, and it didn't matter if she stayed here for a few days.

"Mr. Smith, we are very sincere in our Heung Kong Telephone Group, think about it, as long as we develop well in Hong Kong, it will become a benchmark in Asia, whether it is Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, as well as Greater China, it will greatly enhance the influence of your Ericsson Group, and your business in Asia will be more popular in the future by the local community. ”

Roy Smith is naturally well aware of Hong Kong's position in Asia, and he is also very aware of the influence of the Lee Consortium there.

Not to mention anything else, as long as I reach a cooperation agreement with the Li consortium, it will be much easier for many of my businesses to enter the treasure island and Southeast Asia.

It's just that the issue of technology licensing is too important, and I need to discuss with everyone at the board of directors to determine a plan that the Li consortium can accept and can make good profits on my side.

The authorization is to be granted, but the follow-up plan still needs to set a general framework out, so that it is good to negotiate with Du Yuemei, this is a great opportunity for their Ericsson Group to expand, he is not willing to miss such an opportunity, let Bell Labs or Nokia and Motorola they occupy.

And as long as they have achieved good results in Xiangjiang, they Ericsson Group will be able to increase cooperation with the mainland, and the vast market on the mainland side is the direction of their Ericsson Group's future development.
