Chapter 230: Actually Playing Checks and Balances

Psion is unknown, and if it wants to get the attention and favor of mobile phone manufacturers, it will undoubtedly use Henry's fame to hype itself, and the effect is the best!

And for Henry, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

On the plus side, after the Symbian system becomes famous, the number of mobile phone manufacturers using the system will inevitably increase, so it will be able to get more support from third-party software companies. It's just that, at present, there is no need for any third-party software, the technology and hardware have not kept up, and the mobile phone can't run too many programs!

As for the downside, it should be said that Henry's chance to make a fortune is gone......

However, David Porter and others held a press conference without informing Henry. The next day, they announced to the outside media, "The world's richest man Henry Williams is very interested in our Psion company, and has made a large amount of financing for Psion company, and at present, Henry Williams holds 30% of the shares, which is the largest individual shareholder of Psion company!!"

Psion is not a big company, so what's the point of holding a press conference. The reporters were going to deal with it and leave. What would have been the idea of hearing such news!

The reporters hurriedly took pictures and asked, "Oh, Mr. David Porter, it sounds a little surprising! With all due respect, Psion doesn't seem to be famous before, so I wonder why Mr. Henry Williams invested in your company? Mr. David Porter, are you kidding?"

"This reporter, first of all, I must solemnly remind you, how can we make a joke about such a thing?! Although Psion is not famous, this does not mean that our company's products and technology are not good! Since Mr. Henry Williams is willing to invest in us, it must be because our company has merit!! David Porter heard the reporter's words, and then his tone was a little impulsive, and he said loudly to the reporter, "In addition, we have already signed the financing agreement, if you still don't believe it." You can ask Mr. Henry Williams for yourself!!"

"Since Mr. Henry Williams invested in Psion, can I ask Mr. David Porter, how many dollars Mr. Henry Williams invested?"

"I'm sorry, but it's a trade secret. Nothing will be revealed,!!" David Porter said lightly.

After answering the reporter's questions, David Porter began to talk about the company's product - the Symbian system!

In addition, at the request of Henry Williams, Psion changed its name to Sympan, and the mobile phone system launched by the company was also called Symbian. This system ......" David Porter began to explain the advantages of the Symbian system in detail, and it took about half an hour before the press conference ended!

The next day, the headline in the British newspaper read: "Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, invests in Psion, is very optimistic about the company's mobile phone system, and becomes the company's largest shareholder!!"

In the light of Henry Williams, British TV stations have reported on Psion, and the host introduced: "Psion was founded in 1980 and is a company specializing in the development of mobile phone systems, which lasted for ten years. A global leader in technology!! Psion has changed its name to Saipan. According to David Porter, CEO and one of the founders of Saipan, the name change was requested by Henry Williams, which in part reflects the fact that Henry Williams is very optimistic about the company's development!!"

After the newspapers and television broadcasts, first of all, the British mobile phone manufacturers sent people to learn about the situation of the Symbian Company, especially the Symbian system they developed! For a time, the building of the Symbian Company was overcrowded!

It didn't take long for the news to spread around the world!

The industry is very concerned about it!

Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other companies heard that Henry laid out the mobile phone system. I can't help but feel a stir in my heart!

Henry's investment vision is well-known in the world, but as long as he invests in the company, everyone has to analyze how he invested in this company. In the United States, almost all the business courses in colleges and universities have a course dedicated to Henry's investments, why his investments are always successful and profitable!!

The West German publishing house edited a book entitled "The Stories of Henry Williams, the genius of the investment world". The book was thin, twenty or thirty pages, but it sold for a whopping $10. However, as soon as the book was released, the sales were so hot that the demand even outstripped supply!

According to incomplete statistics, more than 90% of the students who take the MBA exam have read this book!!

Henry has become a beacon in the investment world, sparkling and eye-catching!

When a beam of light hits a place, people turn their eyes there!!

Finland, Nokia CEO said in a deep voice: "Send someone to the UK immediately!!"

In the United States, the CEO of Motorola also said as the CEO of Nokia: "Send someone to the UK immediately to !!"

……

A week later, the world's mobile phone giants visited Saipan!!

David Porter and others were pleasantly surprised, they didn't expect Henry Williams' signature to be so easy to use!!

David Porter strongly recommended the Symbian system, and in order to win over mobile phone manufacturers, and at the same time to dilute Henry's shares, David Porter's company management decided to invite Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other companies to raise funds! In the process of talking to them, David Porter made this invitation very vaguely.

"At the moment, Mr. Henry Williams has raised a lot of money for our company, but the cost of technology research and development is huge! it would be great if we could attract more strategic partners," he said!!

"Mr. David Porter, I think Nokia would be a good strategic partner!!"

Nokia was the first to express its position, and then Motorola, Samsung, and Ericsson also agreed!!

David Porter was overjoyed when he saw this.

Henry Williams holds a 30 percent stake, which has always made him, the founder, uneasy, and very worried that Henry will one day win over other shareholders, empty his rights, or even kick him out of the company! If you can win over a few mobile phone manufacturers, it will be much safer. According to his analysis, Henry Williams is likely to create a mobile phone company of his own, which will inevitably compete with other mobile phone manufacturers. Then, you can rely on the support of other mobile phone manufacturers to control the company!

The press conference didn't tell Henry Williams, and he barely said it in the past, but David Porter had to inform him in advance of such a big matter as corporate financing!

Soon, the call was to Henry!

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm David Porter!"

"What's the matter!" In fact, at this moment, Henry had already learned about the situation through the intelligence officers on the British side, and David Porter called to inform himself that the company would invite four new shareholders to join!

Although Henry had known for a long time that sooner or later this would happen, he was still a little annoyed!

Previously, they used Henry's fame to hype, and if they were notified, Henry would be fine, but if they didn't make a sound, they held a press conference the next day to hype up, which makes people think! Henry was very unhappy with the management team and the board of directors of Saipan.

Now, I have been inviting new shareholders to come in and protest non-stop, and it has not been a few days since I raised my own funds!!

"That's right, we are ready to invite four mobile phone manufacturers to become shareholders and become directors of the company!"

"Okay, no problem!"

The shares do not account for the majority, and it is useless for Henry to refuse. Although it is very unpleasant, but inviting four other mobile phone manufacturers to join can speed up the development of the system, anyway, they can get a free system license within five years, whatever they do!

"Well, I didn't say which four companies it was?"

"Needless to say, I know !!"

When David Porter heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a trace of coldness gushed out of his heart inexplicably!!
