Chapter Seventy-Three: Motorola
In Ang Lee's room, Ang Lee was also drinking with He Wen.
Li An gave He Wen a glass of wine and said: Let's only drink so much today.
He Wen nodded and said: You really came to the United States to buy the Motorola mobile phone department!
Ang Lee shook his head and said: I actually came to buy the digital field, but the U.S. Department of Commerce must let me buy another loss-making company in the United States before it is willing to buy the digital field to me, I can't buy it!
He Wen said in surprise: You just spent $1.5 billion to acquire a big burden in order to buy a small company in the digital field, you have nothing wrong with your brain.
Li Ang shrugged and said: Actually, I still want to buy it myself, which is related to my future strategic plan. It's just that the acquisition was brought forward.
He Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said: Do you want to buy Motorola's mobile phone division? They can't sell well for a company as big as Motorola, do you think you can do it?
Ang Lee said: Do you know the law of 28?
He Wen nodded.
Ang Lee said this is the 28th law.
If most people say anything to me to make money, then I definitely won't do it.
And if everybody says it's not making money, I'm going to do it. In this way, you can earn money, this is the law of 28.
He Wen said: This is just a matter of probability, and in the end, it is decided by the market and people.
Li An nodded.
After drinking the wine in her hand, He Wen watched Li An turn around and walk out with reluctant eyes.
Li An shook his head, he really didn't know what to do in the face of this kind of thing.
There has been no news from the U.S. Department of Commerce, so Ang Lee can only wait in the United States, looking for places to travel every day, and slowly miss Jun Ji-hyun a little.
On this day, Li An was thinking about where to play, when he received a call from Charles, saying that the Ministry of Commerce asked Li Ang to come over and sign a few contracts.
Li Anxin wants Lao Mei to do things like this, and he is not atmospheric at all.
After a while, Ang Lee came to the Ministry of Commerce and came to a meeting room under the leadership of the beautiful front desk.
The front desk asked Li An to wait, saying that a staff member would come to receive him later.
After a while, a middle-aged man with his hair almost falling out walked in, shook his hand with Li An and said:
Hello Mr. Ang Lee, my name is Charlie, and I am now asking you a few questions on behalf of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Li An nodded and motioned to the other party to please, thinking in his heart: I said it's inconvenient, can you not ask. Cut.
Charlie said: First of all, what is your motivation for buying these three companies?
Ang Lee said: I am a director, and I bought a special effects company to render some impossible scenes for my films, such as tsunamis, tornadoes, etc.
Charlie wrote a few words in the notebook, and Ang Lee didn't see what was written.
Charlie went on to say: So why would you buy Motorola's cell phone business unit?
Li An said: That's because your Ministry of Commerce said that if you don't buy a loss-making company, you won't sell these two special effects companies to me.
Charlie went on to say: I mean why would you buy Motorola's cell phone division.
Ang Lee said: That's because Motorola only has a loss in the mobile phone department, and does not sell anything else.
Hearing Ang Lee's words, Charlie almost spurted him to death with a mouthful of blood, and Charlie said angrily: I mean, why did you buy such a big loss-making business as Motorola for the sake of these two small special effects companies. You can buy other small loss-making companies, such as book companies. Wait a minute.
Ang Lee said: I bought Motorola because your Ministry of Commerce only allows me to solve big loss-making enterprises for you, and you allow my two special effects companies to move out of the United States.
After checking the ideal, although Ang Lee's words were ugly, there were no logical errors.
So Charlie said: Why do you have to let them move out of the United States!
Ang Lee said: The special effects company is a loss-making enterprise, the loss in the United States is the dollar, and the loss in China is the yuan, why do you say I have to move out of the United States.
Charlie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll hand in your words, you can go back and wait for news."
Li An stood up angrily, fuck, delaying Lao Tzu for so long, and still not giving a letter, you Lao Mei wait, sooner or later one day I will take revenge and come back.
Li An walked out of the Ministry of Commerce angrily. I'm going to find a bar for a drink.
The dynamic music in the bar alleviated Ang Lee's unhappiness, and with the rhythm of the music, Ang Lee came to the dance floor, and he didn't know what to dance, anyway, he was venting the unhappiness in his heart, and it looked like a psychotic from a distance.
The people around who watched Ang Lee dance automatically kept a safe distance from Ang Lee, so as not to be injured by mistake.
After dancing for a while, I felt much more comfortable, and came to the bar! Looking at a beautiful bartender standing inside, Li An said proudly: Bring me a few glasses of the most expensive wine.
The bartender looked at Ang Lee, who looked like an upstart, and said: Our most expensive wine, 88888, is called "Heartache Feeling", and you want a few glasses.
Li An said in a mouthful of Northeast English: Don't give me all that useless, I don't want boiled water, don't shake me here, is there "Potus"?
Who would have thought that the bartender would also take a mouthful of Northeast English and say: What are you talking about! Come to the bar and drink "Potus", is it not here to smash the field?
The bartender's status words confused Li An, and Li An said with a smile in Chinese: Old sister, have you been to the northeast?
The bartender nodded and said in Northeast dialect: I watched a Chinese romance movie a few months ago, which made me fall in love with China, and I heard that the director was from the magic capital, and I flew to the northeast by plane, and there were two big English letters SH standing on the airport, which hurt me to think that I had arrived in the magic capital, but it turned out to be Shenyang. I stayed there for four months, and I didn't just come back.
Ang Lee smiled and said: Then why are you back!
The bartender said: It's not all the director's fault, it turns out that China doesn't like violent girls very much, so I talked about three boyfriends in Shenyang for 4 months, and finally beat people away because of violence.
Ang Lee sweated profusely.
The bartender took a glass of my very colorful and brilliant wine, handed it to Li An and said: Come, for the sake of being half a Chinese, I invite you to have a drink, no money.
Li An took it with a smile and took a sip, the taste was sweet, the wine was not too strong, it should be a girl's drink.
Ang Lee said: Not enough strength!
The bartender said: Look at your tone just now, it should be a bad mood, drinking spirits when you are in a bad mood is easy to hurt your body, come to a glass of fruit bar!
Li An picked up the wine glass, saluted the bartender and said: My name is Li An, thank you for the wine. You can go on a trip to China, you are a delicate girl, as long as you don't pretend to be savage, you are easy to find a partner in China.
The bartender smiled and nodded.
To vent the depression in his heart, Ang Lee walked out of the bar!
Because he was afraid of He Wen's entanglement, Li Ang did not dare to return to the hotel during the day.
Three days later, Charles telegraphed and said that the Commerce Department had finally agreed to Ang Lee's acquisition, and that Ang Lee could go to Motorola to make the acquisition.
Ang Lee came to Schaumburg, Illinois, USA, on the outskirts of Chicago. When I came to the door of Motorola, I saw Charles with a few people waiting for Ang Lee.
Ang Lee was accompanied by Deloitte's accountant and lawyer. After a few words of conversation, several people entered the building of the Motorola mobile phone department.
After more than 5 hours of examination, Ang Lee finally collected the cyst from the world's earliest mobile phone manufacturing department for $1.5 billion.
And I vowed in my heart that I would buy the whole Motorola in a few years.
After the formalities were completed, Ang Lee sat in the president's office and looked at Steve, the president of Motorola, who was standing in front of him.
Ang Lee asked: I just looked at your information, but you are a very good president, you pay great attention to research and development, and lead Motorola to always walk in the forefront of science and technology. So I want to ask, what do you think is the reason for Motorola's weakness?
Steve thought for a while and said: price, our product quality is first-class, the appearance is advanced, the system is smooth, the only bad thing should be the price.
Li An nodded and said: Since you know, why not lower the price
"Our mobile phones are definitely the best in the world, our factory is in the United States, our cost is nearly double that of Nokia, and the most important thing is that we are now in a cold war with China, the world's largest mobile phone consumer market," Steve said.
Ang Lee said: I read your resume, you climbed up from the technical field little by little, you have paid far more for Motorola than the company's shareholders, but there is no excuse for doing business, it is obvious that you are not good at marketing Your specialty is scientific research.
