Chapter 719: Peace-loving
"Happy cooperation, Gu, I really didn't expect that you would have helped me a lot this time. In this way, we at Motorola can allocate at least $300 million to concentrate on the Iridium project. ”
After three days of intense negotiations, Chris Galvin was relieved as the legal team drafted the final terms and the signing ceremony was officially signed by both parties.
"Respecting the global division of labor, we Chinese are just doing our duty, earning some hard-earned money in manufacturing, and we are very happy to play this role all the time." Gu Biao responded with a sentence that made Americans very comfortable and very politically correct from the position of Americans.
Naturally, this statement won the favor of Americans from all sides, including Chris Galvin and Peter Peterson.
From this kind of talk, it is impossible for them to sniff out the danger of the hollowing out of any industry.
How humble the manufacturing industry is, the Chinese want to take it away, don't be welcome
However, because Chris really took Gu Biao as a brother, he couldn't help but self-defeatingly persuade him more, "Gu, I see that you are too cautious, and keep telling me that the capital chain is too tight and can't be evened out at all, and as a result, there is still money to invest so much heavy assets in the semiconductor process."
If you want me to say, you might as well see if you want to share the profits of the two Iridium plan in the subdivision research projects to invest in investment, didn't you also be the boss of a wireless communication company in China, I heard that you also invested in a communications private enterprise that was only put into production last year.
I told you because you have enough friends, if you change to a partner I don't like the strength, I will definitely not tell them about the technology investment in Iridium xīng xiāng and let them issue some directional bonds to look up to them. This is a must-earn project, why should I give profits to outsiders?"
As Chris spoke, he couldn't hide his arrogance, and began to brag about the bright future of the Iridium project.
In his opinion, pulling others to invest in future dividends for the Iridium plan is to give the other party a great face. Ordinary people who don't have the opportunity are only worthy of being róng zī, not qualified to invest.
Gu Biao sneered embarrassedly in his heart, but it was difficult to show it on his face.
He knows that if this cooperation is to be successful, this last test threshold must be passed.
That is, he must give a reasonable explanation for why he is more optimistic about the semiconductor process than about the Iridium project.
Why would you rather invest in semiconductor technology than Iridium when you have limited funds?
If no reasonable explanation is given, or at least foreshadowing.
Then, in the future, when Apple is really pitted, or when Motorola's Iridium plan finally fails, someone will definitely come to comprehensively review, analyze the lessons learned, and then realize that Gu Biao has a premeditated conspiracy.
Maybe at that moment, even if Jobs or the Galvin family reacted, they couldn't bite Gu Fu back.
But Gu Biao is still young after all, he is only 25 years old, and he has a long way to go in the future.
After this kind of thing is revealed, it will have an impact on his lifelong goodwill, and other collaborators will always be wary of him when they form strategic alliances with him in the future, which is not conducive to him continuing to pretend to be young and improve the efficiency of cooperation.
Therefore, the image of the circle in the industry still has to be round.
Fortunately, Gu Biao has been negotiating with the other party for several days. During this time, he rehearsed all kinds of surprises and questions that he might encounter, so he thought about how to answer this question.
Gu Biao persuaded with a sincere face, "Chris, I also treat you as a brother, let me tell you the truth, I think that although the prospects in the field of semiconductor technology are far less rich and expensive than the benefits brought by the success of the Iridium project, it is fortunately safe."
And Iridium relies on a lot of external environmental factors, I don't want to gamble. I have always had reservations about the intensity of the security demands of the world's wealthy in the next five to ten years. ”
He said this, in fact, if you directly report the conclusion, it will be almost the same as the historical prediction, if it is really "dew" West Asia hiccups, the end of the Cold War, the intensity of the communication security and signal security needs of the rich will indeed be reduced by at least eighty percent.
In other words, at least eighty percent of the wealthy people who were willing to pay for "doomsday survival equipment" during the Cold War will not pay for it after the end of the Cold War.
But Gu Biao knew that even if he reported the answer directly, Chris Galvin would definitely not believe it, and maybe he would laugh it off, thinking that Gu Biao was nonsense. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to change the history of the industry by talking about the conclusions without talking about the analysis process.
Chris really felt that it was completely unreasonable, "You insist on the reason that you can't be unfounded."
Gu Xiao sighed, "I'm not sure, but I am a Chinese, I received the education of China's Foreign Affairs Academy, and I have embarked on the road of success, and I can't forget my roots."
When I was a student at the China Foreign Affairs Academy, in my first semester of enrollment, my most respected teacher said a great prophecy of a great man in a class on contemporary international relations
In the world of the next few decades, peace and development will be the mainstream, and it is basically unlikely that a world-class large-scale war will break out. We must keep our heads open and develop well.
Over the years, I have also adhered to this belief and guided my career planning. Just as China loves peace, disarmament is more than a million, and this is a great contribution to world peace, because we sincerely believe that the world will continue to develop peacefully.
If a nuclear war really breaks out, or if rich people need to pay for the Iridium program because of panic "sex" consumption, then I, as a Chinese, the foundation of my career will become a source of water, a tree without roots, my motherland does not have enough combat effectiveness at present, because she loves peace, she will not focus on developing combat effectiveness for decades, where else can I go
I'm not like you, you're an American, I'm Chinese. If a world war breaks out, the United States has the strength to protect itself, and your business will not have much impact. And for me, I have nothing left at the outbreak of the world war, so why should I bet heavily on a business that is counting on war to secure high premiums"
Gu Biao's nonsense, of course, was full of emotion in his expression and tone.
Especially when she first entered the school as a freshman, Han Ting was even more excited when she relayed the high-level foresight in the international relations class.
All this is in Chris Galvin's eyes, and he has to sigh that Gu Biao is at least a "sexual" person.
Although he is "treacherous", there is no doubt that he is a "sexual" person, and these two points are not contradictory.
As long as a "treacherous" person is a "treacherous" person who does something and does not do something, then he is a "temperamental" person with a bottom line.
Moreover, the reasons Gu describes as applicable to Chinese may explain why Chinese entrepreneurs do not invest in the Iridium program, a business that hopes for international threats to raise premiums. At the same time, this reason is not applicable to the Americans, and it will not affect the Americans' determination to build in the slightest.
Just as when the Chinese advocate "world peace and development", they sincerely disarm and reduce defense spending, and they will not infect the Americans to do the same.
On the contrary, the Americans will intensify their military expansion, increase their armament budgets, and invest more in scientific research and research on more efficient weapons of killing.
"The Chinese people are really peace-loving, you don't want to make this kind of business that relies on deterrence to raise premiums, just don't force it." Finally, I wish you a happy wedding again, the business is not finished, and it is time to go on your honeymoon. ”
Chris Galvin sighed from the bottom of his heart, and was impressed by Gu Biao's high demeanor and fraternity.
"Thank you, maybe I'll go to the United States for my honeymoon and talk when I have time. Gu Biao said a few polite words, and then sent the American guests related to the Iridium project away.
The Americans took a flight out of Hong Kong and returned to the United States on the same day.
After the Americans left, Gu Biao was still in the office building of the headquarters of Xiangji, insisted on reading the agreement and schedule, and worked until late before going home.
This is the third day after his wedding, and he is busy like this, which can be regarded as a model of diligence.
The factory of Xiangji is located in the Sha Tau Kok Development Zone, so the office area is also in that generation, which is a high-rise office building at the junction of Sha Tau Kok and Ta Gu Ling.
The place is located along the remaining veins of the slopes of Ta Kwu Ling, and the geology is relatively solid, suitable for high-rise buildings, and not as loose as most of the alluvial sandstone formations in the Sha Tau Kok Development Zone. At the same time, it is also free from the new real estate projects such as Taguling Mid-Levels, which need to detour the mountain road and make it inconvenient to enter and exit.
It has been two and a half years since Xiangji was put into operation in Xiangjiang, and the surrounding supporting development is quite good.
But it is obvious that this block is incompatible with the other 17 districts of the 18th district of Xiangjiang. There is only one high-standard highway from the urban area, but there is only one road from Fanling and Sheung Shui.
As for the highway leading directly from the main urban area along Sha Tin to Ta Kwu Ling, the construction has been delayed.
This means that those who come from the main city will either have to take the old mountain roads, or they will have to endure the fact that it is not the quickest straight line, but first go north to Fanling, and then turn east to Ta Kwu Ling and Sha Tau Kok.
On the contrary, the development zone where Xiangji is located is closely related to the mainland special zone on the other side of the river in terms of economy and supply and demand.
Especially in the past two years, starting from Zhongying Street, there have been several more wide and smooth asphalt roads directly repaired from the Special Economic Zone, and there are even two more border inspection ports, all of which are for the services of Xiangji and Hanle Electronics, as well as other microelectronics supporting industrial chain enterprises in the Special Economic Zone.
On the way home, Gu Biao could see that the development zone he had single-handedly laid out was becoming an enclave in Xiangjiang, and on the contrary, he had more and more identification with the mainland on the other side of the river.
However, this also has a price, that is, from this year, in order not to take the broken road with poor road conditions and detours, as long as he comes to Xiangji to inspect or have a meeting, he has to choose to take the newly bought helicopter.
On the contrary, when he went to Han Ting's Hanle Electronics on the other side of the river from Xiangji to talk about things, he could drive a car with "sex".
Gap.
It's only going to get bigger.
Flying directly from the office headquarters in Ta Ku Ling back to Bai Jia Dao Gu Yuan in a helicopter. Coming down from the tarmac, Gu Biao waited for Xiao Sui and Mina to greet them gently.
"It's all negotiated, don't worry, I will accompany you for the New Year and honeymoon. There will be no more interruptions. Gu Biao expressed his attitude sincerely and did what he said. 21
