Chapter 355: Micro Words
Jacobs and the others couldn't refuse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Lee's default is the biggest headache, but Jacobs and a few people think that it is not too much of a headache, after all, China and the United States are now in the honeymoon stage, although the farce at the end of the year before last led to some shadows in the relationship between the two countries, and by 88, this shadow has long disappeared.
Europe and the United States still impose some technical blockade on China, especially militarily, but Li Mo took the initiative to indicate these in the contract.
There is another article, Qualcomm did not enter in Li Mo's personal name, it is indicated in the contract, once this group company is established in the future, it will be immediately included in the name of the group company, needless to say, there are many Americans in the group company, so after secondary dilution...... It is not Jacobs and their shares that are diluted, because no matter how much capital is injected or raised, their shares are immovable, and it is Li Mo's shares that are diluted, that is, from all angles, this company is still a standard American company, and it can only be said that Li Mo has a lot of shares in it.
Maybe in the future, it will be related to the core military technology mentioned in the contract, how far away it is, and now it is also cooperating with the military, these are outsourcing businesses, and there is no need to be taboo at all.
Leaving aside this unstable factor, the rest is for them to compromise.
Qualcomm really lacked funds at this time.
All kinds of exciting terms...... From power, treatment, to the successive injections of astronomical funds.
The legendary Li Mo's super brain, and the temptation of that product.
And Qualcomm's current size is indeed too small, if Li Mo deliberately targets them, a few storms will be over, and Qualcomm will finish it immediately.
However, there are very few conditions that they believe are still open to discussion.
Li Mo acquiesced in their "discussion", but the next negotiation was between Xie Fuman and Qualcomm, and he began a ten-day book signing campaign. It just so happened that a modified version of Snowpiercer was also released, and it was also the last time he signed books for bantams.
There are still many reporters asking questions every time he signs, although Li Mo has gradually grown up and the prodigy effect is becoming more and more inconspicuous, Li Mo's wealth has been the object of many people's attention.
Li Mo is still gentle and humorous, and continues to express the admiration of the United States, disguising himself.
Flew around and returned to Qualcomm.
After ten days of long talks, the two parties finally negotiated all the details and began to sign their names on the contract.
Fortunately, Qualcomm is now very small and has no shareholders, and even this merger was carried out in a low-key manner because the two sides intended to carry it out, and no one paid attention to it, so the share transfer procedures were completed quickly. Hao Lick immediately transferred $80 million, $30 million is dividends to several shareholders, $50 million is injected into Qualcomm as development funds, before the end of the year, Li Mo will inject $50 million, and in August and December next year, he will continue to inject $50 million respectively, so that Qualcomm can enter the track of rapid development.
In this regard, several shareholders of Qualcomm did not make it difficult, but they really had no excuse to make it difficult.
After the funds arrived, Jacobs asked, "Lee, what's that new technology?"
"Sign a non-disclosure agreement. ”
Several people signed a confidentiality agreement, in fact, there are some confidentiality clauses in the contract, the new company name is Yihua, the English name is IHUA, and the abbreviation is IH, these confidentiality clauses include, try not to publicize the merger to the outside world, if the outside world learns, several shareholders of Qualcomm can only say that IH has invested in Qualcomm, not merged Qualcomm. In order not to affect the US government's view of Qualcomm when unforeseen circumstances occur.
Jacobs and the others thought that Li Mo was a little unfounded, but in any case, it was not a glorious thing for the majority of the company's shares to be taken away by others, and there was no need for them to publicize it to the outside world.
Qualcomm people are also not allowed to publicize the terms of the contract, especially the so-called sharing of technology and patents.
Their respective shares and dividends are also not publicized to the public...... However, Li Mo also satisfied the five additional annotations proposed by Jacobs on its independence, although it will become a subsidiary of IH in the future, it must retain its rights and interests in independent research and development and sales.
Of course, Li Mo also put forward some more stringent requirements, especially several shareholders, if they leave the company halfway, they can only enjoy the original share dividend rights, and cannot enjoy the additional 10% dividend rights, and at the same time, they are not allowed to engage in related work and research for 20 years.
That is what Li Mo said, I bought your company, and I took a fancy to a few of you, and you will die in Qualcomm, and you are not allowed to change jobs, but this is what moved Jacobs and the eight people the most.
Li Mo put away the non-disclosure agreement and took them to Pixar.
"Professor Jacobs, you've come just in time. Jobs said happily that it is not easy to even come to a simple experiment, and a small range of digital and analog signals must be set up first, but Jobs is not good at this, seeing Jacobs coming, he knows that Li Mo and Qualcomm have a good talk, and Jacobs happens to be an expert in this area.
"What are you doing?"
Li Mo explained them one by one.
After listening to this, Jacobs also gasped, in the era of Big Brother, which weighed several pounds and was extremely expensive, if this product that might cost only about 1,000 dollars and weigh less than 100 grams came out, what kind of changes would it bring to the world?
Let's not mention the weight, let's talk about the price, 1,000 or a few hundred dollars, half of the people in the United States can afford it.
"If this product is successful, it will be the heaviest invention of the century. Viterbi said.
"It has two most important constraints, one is that the relevant components are actually the chipset, this chipset does not require much complexity, let alone Intel's 386 processor, the future 486, and even 186, 188 (referring to the two products launched by Intel in 81) is enough, if you want to speed up, you can even lower the requirements to 8085, 8086 (referring to the two products launched by Intel in 76 and 78). ”
This Jacobs eight people can understand, the higher the configuration, the more difficult it is to develop and vice versa.
"The difficulty is to make the chip more precise, so that it can be reduced in size and easy to carry. The second challenge is the need for a mature digital communication system. ”
“TDMA?”
"Professor, it's not TDMA," Li Mo roughly analyzed the difference between TDMA and GSM, in the 2G era, TDMA is far less useful than GSM: "Of course, you can also continue to develop TDMA, it will be of great use in the future." But the main task now is to compress these processors and then register patents. ”
"Li, most of the technology for these processors comes from Intel or other companies. ”
"I'm going to deal with the patent matter, why I asked you to sign a non-disclosure agreement, that's why, once it spreads, one will cause Motorola to be wary, the second is that it will be more difficult to acquire patents or exchange patents, and the third is that this is a door, only me and Jobs have found this door, if other companies know that they have advantages in all aspects, once they are developed one after another, we will no longer have a leading edge. ”
"We understand," Jacobs is not a fool, as long as Li Mo wins the patent, they successfully shrink these chips, and in the future, just sell chips, Qualcomm's future is limitless.
"Motorola has the technology to do that too, right?" asked Antonio.
"Yes, but one is a simulated signal and the other is a digital signal, so it's better to start from scratch with their technology, and the more patents I buy, the more pressure I have. If you can get around their patent barriers, it's best to bypass them as much as possible. ”
"No wonder you gave us so much money...... Antonio said with a wry smile, if this is the case, they have too many things to study, and they will undoubtedly have to expand the scale of the company, I am afraid that it will take a lot of money to buy related instruments and equipment, and more talents must be recruited.
"Antonio, you don't have to worry, if the funds are not enough, I can continue to inject, I will talk about your TDMA again," Li Mo said from the 2G machine to the 3G machine: "Maybe this time will take ten years, more than ten years, only then will all aspects of technology mature, and it will be time for TDMA to shine, so in this time, what Qualcomm does is to continue to research and wait slowly." ”
"Li, we are glad to join IH," Jacobs said, if it weren't for the arrival of this 3G machine, they Qualcomm would be able to show their talents, if there was no merger and acquisition, Li Mo could also acquire other companies and develop a mature system in advance, and Qualcomm would be worthless at that time. In this process, Li Mo played the role of a guide, a decision-maker, and even a prophet.
Li Mo was glad that they could have such an idea...... These people are the real bulls, and if they can't be subdued, it will have a lot of bad effects on the future development of IH.
Everyone sat down and started talking about the technology.
Jobs was also very happy, at least Jacobs's arrival solved many problems for him.
But he also has two micro-words for Li Mo.
Of course, if China can manufacture these accessories, the cost will undoubtedly drop significantly, and the manufacturing cost of this "real mobile phone" can even be reduced to a few hundred dollars.
But these accessories are not easy to produce, such as processors, in fact, it is a chip, if you want to produce chips, even if Li Mo buys the relevant patents, it also needs a series of industrial upgrades. With China's current backward industry, how difficult it will be to upgrade this industrial chain, and China has upgraded, Europe and the United States are not stagnant, in the past ten years, the rapid development of technology, it is unimaginable. If you don't get it right, this Chinese base will become a burden to IH.
The second micro-word is that Li Mo's heart is too hot, of course, all the core technologies are in his hands, and he will not be controlled by others, which is not wrong, and it can improve the image of the brand, and it can also be customized for his own products.
There are technologies that are difficult to master, such as PCs, which have to be put later, and Li Mo said that he may develop something that can also be exchanged for many patents or improve the quality of PCs.
The problem is that many core technologies of PCs have been carved up by major companies, such as processors, even if Li Mo buys 386 technology, people can develop 486 technology, IH is always chasing behind. And every research and development will burn countless money, even if Li Mo has the ability to be a prophet.
Therefore, the most rational approach is to concentrate all the strength, first from Motorola and Intel to buy or exchange related patents, because the technology tree branches are different, IH will do a good job in the technology of mobile phones, forming its own patent barriers, then in the future IH will become a real giant comparable to IBM.
Li Mo listened, and also expressed acquiescence, not acquiescence, but most of the support, if the funds are in place, some funds will be allocated to enter the research and development of PC components. Li Mo insisted that he still remembered one thing, Samsung's OLED screen, Samsung deliberately reduced its output, and most of the OLED screens were monopolized by themselves, and some of them were given to Apple. Only a tiny fraction of the remaining products are distributed to Chinese companies.
If it weren't for the fear of losing notoriety, or China's monopoly punishment on them, or even they wouldn't even give an OLED screen to Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, Huawei Mate9 series mobile phones were developed without OLED screens, and the time to market was constantly postponed. Finally, some of them were divided and listed, because the number is small, but the production capacity has been insufficient.
There are some other components, South Korea, especially Samsung, has been using these means to suppress the growth of Chinese mobile phone companies, so that the products of Chinese mobile phone companies can never occupy high-end brands.
But it was not Samsung that took care of Apple, and before Samsung was grown, it was very respectful to Apple, but with the control of the production of individual components, it also began to be ambitious to prepare to bundle Apple. As a result, Apple and Samsung gradually became enemies, and even had a strong rejection of South Korea.
Therefore, Li Mo has always attached great importance to these core components, otherwise, the Huawei in his previous life is likely to happen to him in this life.
However, there is one thing he thinks Jobs is right, first do a good job in the mobile phone industry, form your own fist products, and also get the support of mobile phone profits, then you are no longer afraid of problems with other products.
After talking for a while, it was equivalent to setting the approximate direction of IH's future development, and Li Mo left Pixar.
Jacobs and several people did not go, apparently, they had a strong interest in this new product.
The Da Vinci Code was released.
Li Mo took Julie and Charlize on the catwalk.
Many people finally figured out that these female companions brought by Li Mo were not female companions, but artists from his economic company.
MGM didn't care, what they cared about was the box office and the evaluation of the outside world, what they cared about was the girls, and the evaluation of the outside world was also both hot and cold, some applauded, and some said no. But the box office has been very good...... Like in the previous life, the box office in the United States is good, but not particularly good, and in Europe, the box office of this movie is very hot.
Li Mo didn't care about what happened at the box office, he believed that this movie would not hit the street at least, and after the premiere catwalk, Li Mo immediately returned to China. There are a lot of things going on in the country, and one of them is very important......
