"My starting point is simple, MCI can have a fairly positive catfish effect and help it weather the storm, which is good for the whole market." Tang Huan replied righteously.
"Don, you're qualified enough to run for governor and congression." William McGovern scoffed, "With your heart for the federal government, you should consider giving it a try." β
Hearing the other party's teasing, Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, "I'm not interested in political games, maybe, I can let my son think about it." β
After taking a sip of the cup, Tang Huan continued leisurely: "You and I are both top competitors in the mall, and of course our thinking cannot be limited to the level of ordinary people. MCI was brought out by you, so it's William McGovern's company. In the same way, Fang Yuan and Zheru can also be called my company. But it's hard to get such an intimate level with a company like Pacific Telecom. β
"For example?" William McGovern asked with interest.
"If it is for the sake of the overall good, it is necessary to sacrifice the local interest; Or for the sake of long-term interests, it is necessary to sacrifice immediate interests, then my company will naturally implement it without hesitation, but other companies will have to take some setbacks. Tang Huan slowly explained: "In my opinion, due to the obvious monopoly advantage, the companies of the Bell family, including Pacific Telecom, are a little lazy. β
"It's hard for me to believe that." William McGovern laughed, "You know, Pacific Telecom is the most active communications company in adopting new technology today. β
Tang Huan snorted, "That can only show that my leadership art is clever." β
"Well, I admire that." William McGovern nodded, and then opened the file and looked at it.
Seeing William McGovern patiently browsing the documents, Tang Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he very much wanted the cellular phone license in MCI's hands. Gain's resources are quite limited, and if you grab a little, others will have less.
But William McGovern, who was able to fight with AT&T until it was dismantled, was not easy to fool; Craig McCaw, who is also eyeing these licenses, is also a fierce mall adventurer, and his courage to throw money cannot be underestimated.
In other words, Tang Huan is not as good as he appears on the surface, he can absolutely eat William McGovern and Craig McCaw, his advantage is that he has many cards in his hand and has a comprehensive advantage.
"I believe that Don is for his own vital interests and really wants to help MCI." William McGovern closed the file and said in a deep voice, "But you are too shrewd in business, and while others make a little money, you have to make more." It's true that your offer has increased by $10 million, but you've sold a package of technology solutions, and if MCI does adopt it, wouldn't that $10 million flow back into your hands very quickly? β
"I know that MCI's cash flow is tight at the moment." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "At this time, the value of 'my company' is reflected." If MCI decides to use my technology solution, the payment time can be deferred negotiably. β
"Previously, MCI did not purchase products from 'your company', including Fangyuan Computer." William McGovern raised his eyebrows, "But is there anything unique about your package of technical solutions?" β
"MCI's ability to grow to today's heights is inseparable from your genius management." Tang Huan first praised William McGovern, and then pointed out the shortcomings of the other party, "But it is inevitable to think about the inappropriateness, such as the adoption of the latest digital age technology." β
Speaking of this, Tang Huan asked very seriously: "I have paid attention to the reasons why MCI is in a passive position now. Why do you think the new AT&T company can directly fight a price war with MCI? β
"It's not that the federal government has deregulated, and it can logically rely on its deep financial resources to easily close the previous tariff gap." William McGovern replied annoyed.
"Then you think MCI can effectively control operating costs by simply laying off employees?" Tang Huan returned William McGovern's previous taunts, "Let me tell you about it, based on my experience from Pacific Telecom, AT&T may not be completely losing money, and Bell Labs has provided it with a lot of practical technical achievements, which is enough to greatly reduce operating costs." β
Seeing that William McGovern's face suddenly became very ugly, Tang Huan ignored the other party's heart disease, and continued to pour salt on the wound and said: "In the early 1980s, it cost about $1,000 per mile to build an MCI network; So what is this indicator now, and won't it skyrocket with the current prices and stock prices? β
"So, your technology package can help MCI make a huge improvement in this regard?" William McGovern's voice sounded hoarse.
Tang Huan didn't dare to continue to stimulate the old man, he didn't want the other party to go directly to the hospital to report directly after going out from him, so he gave the answer very happily: "Of course." You must know that the most advanced digital switching technology can double the data throughput capacity of new equipment, and then the unit cost of network construction will drop significantly, which will make the profits of operators such as MCI and Pacific Telecom skyrocket. β
William McGovern thought for a moment, then finally said, "Airsignal, a subsidiary of MCI, sold it to you for $140 million." If I can get safe off the operating table and get back to work, I'll implement the package you mentioned. β
"I'm sure you'll be back healthy and back in the mall soon." Tang Huan said with a sincere expression.
"Then I'll borrow your good words." William McGovern stretched out his shriveled hand, and grasped it with Tang Huan's well-proportioned, vibrant hand.
"It's good to be young!" The old man who was about to go to the operating table sighed.
β¦β¦
William McGovern is a resolute businessman, and he doesn't have a lot of time, so the transaction process was completed as quickly as possible, MCI received the first tranche of $70 million in cash, and its subsidiary Airsignal was handed over to Tang Huan.
"How's it going, has the data been calculated?" Tang Huan put down the report of airsignal and asked.
"There are results." Tang Wenmao replied: "In the current market, the average cost of a cellular phone license is about $20 per person. Airsignal, which we bought for $140 million, has a cellular phone license that covers 700 heads, at an average cost of exactly $20. β
"Airsignal's business consists of two parts β paging and cellular telephony. I've contacted the buyer, and if I sell the former, I'll recoup at least $75 million, and the cost per capitation for a cellular license will be reduced to less than $10. β
"Pacific Telecom's fees in California for each 'head' range from $25 to $30. Compared with the two, this time the business is really cost-effective. β
Tang Huan said lazily: "We are spending the family's own money, which cannot be compared with Pacific Telecom. β
"The scattered cellular phone licenses on the market have almost been carved up, and the next step is the integration process of big fish eating small fish, just like the development process of the cable TV industry in the past." Zhuang Menghua, a top student at Harvard Business School, analyzed: "Although we have made a lot of money in just over a year since the yen appreciated, the stall is getting bigger and bigger, and you are still asking for large-scale cash reserves from now on this year, and the pressure is still not small." It's better to take this company public, anyway, as long as you firmly grasp its controlling stake, the color of the family business will not change. β
"Going public is certainly a necessary process." Tang Huan nodded approvingly, "The family business does not mean that it must be closed and eat alone, and it is almost impossible to do this in the field of mobile communications. β
