Chapter 186: Better Don't Push Me Hard!
TCL?
Xia Yu felt very puzzled, this company is a giant That's right, especially last year, it was acquired in Europe one after another, but it also left a lot of sequelae, in the memory of the previous life, TCL was going to withdraw from the domestic mobile phone market by the end of 2005, how could he still have the energy to compete with Polestar for Panda Mobile?
He hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Mingsheng said anxiously: "It's still investigating, but it seems that Zhou Zhenhua introduced it." ”
It's Zhou Zhenhua who is unwilling to give this opportunity to be independent, this is normal.
It seems that bypassing him to talk directly with Li Anjian is still troublesome. Also, in a large company with strict partisan struggle, it is difficult for even the top leader to have an absolute say in something.
This would be a big problem for Polestar, even if it was just delaying time.
I don't know how determined TCL is to suddenly join in this time.
However, Xia Yu estimates that TCL's own factory is very large, and its research and development is not weak, and it has a mobile phone license a few years ago, so there should be nothing necessary for Panda Mobile.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu said to him: "Don't worry, try to find out their intentions clearly, and then go to Li Anjian to discuss." I believe that there is no one who can come up with such preferential conditions as ours!"
"Well, we'll step up our inquiry. ”
"By the way, I have someone on my side that you can contact and think of a way. His name is Yan Weiping, and he is quite close to Zhou Zhenhua, I have been in contact with him before, and Li Anjian's secretary is the one who took him online. This man's hands and feet are not too clean, you can work on it......"
Although Yan Weiping, who was introduced to Meng Jing, did not introduce Zhou Zhenhua to Xia Yu, Li Anjian's secretary Huang Kun was introduced by him, and he can be regarded as a "thief ship" of Polestar Electronics.
Xia Yu didn't treat him badly before, and this time he couldn't say that he could use it again.
Hanging up the phone, Xia Yu immediately threw aside the review materials and went online to check TCL's information and news. I also try to touch my deep "memory" through these news.
Soon he burst out laughing.
If it's another giant, it might be really troublesome, but it's TCL. That's really not going to mess up.
As a veteran company with a history of more than 20 years headquartered in Huizhou, TCL is one of the top three in the TV field in China, and is also very strong in mobile phones and computers, and also entered the MP3 field last year.
Especially in early 2004, after the group was listed as a whole, it had sufficient funds, and successively acquired 55% of the shares of the mobile phone terminal business of the French Thomson color TV business and the mobile phone terminal business of the communication giant Alcatel, which became two points in the "Sino-French Cultural Year" that year, as well as a benchmark for Chinese enterprises to conquer overseas markets.
But Xia Yu knew very well that these two acquisitions proved to be complete failures in the end!
In particular, the acquisition of Alcatel Mobile not only led to the continuous loss of the entire group for the next three years. And directly let them give up the domestic mobile phone market in April 2005, and survived abroad, knowing that it was only in 2009 that they regained their strength.
You must know that TCL mobile phone in 2003 is also the top three level in China, at the end of that year also announced that it would invest 500 million yuan in independent research and development plan, which was a vigorous scene at the time; but in 2004, it suffered a tragic Waterloo, and it is estimated that it was because of this that the acquisition of Alcatel Mobile was moved.
A few hundred million yuan is not much for them, and multi-brand operation is not impossible.
But they couldn't have imagined that their collapse would come back so quickly.
For this acquisition and the subsequent fiasco of various reasons, because of its unique representativeness, it has been mentioned in countless case studies that review and summarize the internationalization process of Chinese enterprises in later generations. Of course, Xia Yu remembers it clearly.
He doesn't mind throwing a spark in advance if necessary.
You'd better not push me too hard!
……
On Jinling's side, after reporting to Xia Yu, Liu Mingsheng also immediately arranged work.
Judging by the current situation. The most important thing is, of course, intelligence work, because they are not familiar with the place of combat in different places, and they are not very good at it, so they can only brainstorm ideas.
Xia Mingde has been following the negotiating team for the past two days. Since deciding to "sit firmly in the rear" for Xia Yu, he has devoted most of his energy to the study of management and operation, and his positioning is very low. Directly told Liu Mingsheng not to take care of himself outside, and to follow the normal management model.
He spoke first: "I think we can focus on communicating with Chairman Li Anjian, Xiaoyu also said that TCL can't come up with such preferential conditions as ours, and for their listed companies, they must hope to have a result of maximizing interests to explain to shareholders." ”
This is common sense, but Liu Mingsheng, who has been making up for various business management knowledge in the past six months, is not optimistic.
He shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia, what you said makes sense, but TCL is a well-known industry giant in China, and its influence should not be underestimated." If you cooperate with them, it is a strong cooperation, and it is a situation that many people want to see. ”
Xia Mingde understood what this meant, and still said: "But they can't choose TCL's plan if the conditions are too different!"
"So the focus is on intelligence exploration", Liu Mingsheng nodded: "But we don't have any channels now, so it's a headache." Let's figure it out!"
Sun Bin stood up at this time: "I can try it from retailers in the market, many of them are owned by Sujiang Tianchuang, all of them sell panda mobile phones, they are very concerned about these things, maybe there will be a breakthrough." ”
In the past few days, Sun Bin has been mixing with local retailers, which is also the key task given to him by Xia Yu before returning to his cultivation, mainly to keep an eye on the movements of Tianchuang Company.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you here!" Liu Mingsheng turned to Xu Jiahui and asked, "Mr. Xu, can you try it from the production side?"
"It's a bit difficult, both of their factories are not in Jinling, so I'll do my best. ”
Peng Wenshan also took the initiative to say: "I will also inquire, but I hope it will not be too big, Panda Mobile does not pay much attention to research and development." ”
Peng Wenshan came to the company late, and mainly on Yang Chunsheng's side, and it was the first time he had contact with Liu Mingsheng and Xia Mingde in the past few days. However, he had already heard that Liu Mingsheng was just a small factory mechanic half a year ago, and he subconsciously observed it, but he didn't see it at all.
I have to say that under the training of theory and practice, Liu Mingsheng has grown rapidly in management.
Liu Mingsheng didn't know what Peng Wenshan was thinking, and he didn't have time to take care of it, so he immediately nodded and said, "Hmm." That's hard work. Anyway, try to find out their plan."
He himself decided to follow Xia Yu's instructions to find Yan Weiping to talk to him.
Thinking of Xia Yu's evaluation of people, he gritted his teeth and directly put in 30,000 yuan in cash.
……
Yan Weiping really couldn't resist the temptation of this money.
After meeting Liu Mingsheng early the next morning, he promised on the spot that he would get the exact news within one day, and asked him to bring it to Xia Yu.
Just as Xia Yu judged, he is also on the "thief ship" now, and don't think about getting out. However, there are too many such things in the group, and no one will check it out, so it's nothing to pay attention to.
Mr. Zhou is good to himself, but when Dong Li is taken care of by Polestar, he is the vice president of the group, even if there are a few old people who support him. It's hard to really fight.
After more than ten years in state-owned enterprises, Yan Weiping believes that he is not wrong this time.
After all, for the current Jinling Panda, it is the general trend to be able to get rid of the cancer of panda electronics.
And Mr. Zhou has also heard about the introduction of TCL communication this time, and his first feeling is that it is unreliable.
Not to mention anything else, the current Panda Electronics does not have much to attract TCL communication at the same level, whether it is technology, talent or factory, they are not lacking, how can they come up with a plan that can satisfy the group bosses?
With this in mind, he decided to stand firmly on the side of Polestar Electronics, and soon got the news from the people around Zhou Zhenhua.
Really!
It took over 51% of Panda Mobile and 49% of Sujiang Tianchuang's shares in the group. This is the same as Polestar Electronics, but it is a bit difficult for the group to settle the debts of Tianchuang and Yimei by itself, and to pack up a complete panda to move out of the conditions.
If it's so easy to comb, what else do you want to sell?
Although the total price of TCL communication is directly open to 500 million, and it is said to be negotiable. But it's also far worse than Polestar's.
If so, Polestar would have to bid more than 600 million!
When Liu Mingsheng received these news at night, his worry dropped by half.
No matter how loud TCL's signboard is, it is not at the level of Samsung and Nokia, and under the conditions, Polestar Electronics is so far ahead, why can't it withstand it?
Of course it cannot be ruled out. This matter itself has the shadow of Li Anjian, and TCL invited him to make an appearance, in essence, to put some pressure on Polestar Electronics to raise prices.
This is all too common in negotiations. I have to guard against it.
He will continue to talk to Li Anjian and them tomorrow, so after gathering the news of Sun Bin, Peng Wenshan and others, he immediately reported to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu also agreed with Liu Mingsheng's judgment.
After all, Panda Mobile is really not too attractive to TCL Communications in theory, do they want to operate two brands?
But if Li Anjian also knew about it, and deliberately connived at Zhou Zhenhua to pull TCL or reach some kind of agreement with Zhou Zhenhua, it would be too bad for Polestar Electronics.
It's crucial to make sure that point, Polestar doesn't have the time they have to spend here.
After thinking about it, he finally picked up the phone and dialed Hua Yongqing.
After the previous invitation was issued, Hua Yongqing has not given a reply, presumably to see if Polestar Electronics really gets the promised Jinling Panda side and then gives the result.
But this time the matter was urgent, and Xia Yu couldn't care about it.
"Mr. Hua, I'm Xia Yu. Yes, you have also heard, I wonder if Mr. Hua knows the reason and true intention of TCL to come to the door this time?"
Hua Yongqing has actually been waiting for Xia Yu to call, the more Polestar Electronics understands the company, the more shocking it becomes, he has basically made a decision, so he is very concerned about the news that TCL suddenly intervened this time, and his channels are also very powerful.
It's also to prove the value, he didn't think much about it and replied: "Mr. Xia, this is embarrassing for me! But I did get the news......" (to be continued......)
PS: It's finally over, and it's also appropriately speeding up the progress of this episode. Thanks to SO Simple, Li Xhua, Sangzi12, dylanha and other brothers for their tipping support.
In the past two days, I have finally been able to keep the quality and quantity out. I'm going to continue writing now, and I'm trying to do at least three more tomorrow.
But the question is, why is the monthly pass still so bleak...... Brothers, ask for a monthly pass, a monthly pass!
