Chapter 262: I can't see through
Those present were all elites, including Sun Dong. Although Sun Dong's technical professionalism and talent are far beyond his ability in management, it does not mean that he does not understand business management at all, otherwise the previous Scopa would not have developed from a small IT company to a huge one.
But everyone also knows that the era of Scopa's glory is long gone. The VCD project investment mistakes deprived Scopa of a great opportunity to become a hegemon in the video field, and then because of a series of mistakes in the company's decision-making and investment, Scopa fell into a financial crisis, and had no choice but to sell their most core and potential subsidiary. Although the funds obtained from the sale of the subsidiary greatly alleviated Scopa's financial problems, it was like a leaky wooden boat, and it was not a long-term solution to blindly plug the holes that came out of the water with just rags and broken wooden sticks.
In fact, even Sun Dong himself knows this truth, which is also the main reason why he later resigned from the position of president and handed over the company's administration and management to Dief. Sun Dong hopes that several projects in the Guò laboratory will be successful, just like the Vcd that he made in cooperation with Wan Yan, so as to achieve a miracle in technology that brings Scopa back to life.
But he never expected that reality gave him a blow to the head. The miracle was not what he imagined, but what Div gave him made it clear to him what the so-called most trusted people under his command were. Secretly selling the company's inside information to a huge accumulation, embezzling a large amount of research funds for enjoyment, and even using the company's money to pay for private expenses, etc...... Lin Lin's various incidents made Sun Dong almost burst his blood vessels on the spot.
And now, Cisco's hungry wolf, which once swallowed more than 3ooo small and medium-sized IT companies, actually joined forces with Zhou Liwen, the little fox, which is simply a heavy blow that Scopa can't bear. Of course, if it is just to breathe a sigh of relief, Sun Dongda can bite the bullet and refuse, and forcefully exercise his chairman's right to veto the acquisition proposal. But the ensuing consequences are also something he can't afford.
If Sun Dong really insists on going his own way and refuses this acquisition, then what awaits him is the last way to face bankruptcy. When that time comes, the chairman will not only lose what he currently has, but even become a complete loser.
If you don't think about yourself, for your family, and for the rest of Scopa's shareholders, including the staff, Sun Dong can't do the same. What's more, looking at the depressed and helpless faces in front of him, Sun Dong knew very well that the general trend had gone, and being acquired was already their only choice.
In just a few minutes, Sun Dong seemed to be much older, although he tried to keep himself graceful and calm, but his voice still carried lingering melancholy and helplessness.
"I agree to negotiate the acquisition, Diff, for everyone's sake, for your own sake, and for the sake of your colleagues in this company, and I want you to take care of this."
"Don't worry, I will!"
"Good! That's it....... Sun Dong nodded, stood up and looked around, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and left the conference room with heavy steps. When they saw him walk out of the doorway, it was clear to everyone present that his time was completely over from this moment on.
Without Sun Dong's obstacles, the next acquisition negotiations went very smoothly. In just one month, Cisco and ORZ went up with 4. $800 million plus Cisco's O. 1% stake and 6 of the ORZ company. 75% of the shares announced the acquisition of Scopa. The final share structure of the acquired Scopa company is: Cisco holds 39% as the largest shareholder, Zhou Liwen holds 37% as the second largest shareholder, and Sun Dong as the founder of Scopa owns 5%, but in fact, this 5% only has the right to dividends and no right to operate, that is to say, Sun Dong only has respect for him. Aside from the appointment of an honorary chairman and director on the board of directors, the company has no other relationship with him.
Of the remaining 19 per cent of the shares, the remaining Scopa shareholders continue to hold the shares, albeit with significant changes in their respective shareholding structures. For example, for example, Div, the former CEO of Scopa, has a stake in his hands from the original tiny to the inconspicuous O. 7% increased to 1. 6%, thus gaining the right to enter the board of directors. Moreover, according to the agreement negotiated between Zhou Liwen and Cisco, Scopa will continue to be the CEO of Diff, the board members will be appointed by each side, and the chairman will be appointed by Cisco, but in the case of failing to achieve absolute control, Zhou Liwen relies on Div's CEO authority and shareholding ratio in the board of directors to be basically the same as Cisco. The entire company was not directly integrated into Cisco, as originally imagined, but remained independent.
Retaining Scopal without splitting it does not mean that Zhou Liwen and Cisco will not restructure the company. Chambers is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and so is Zhou. Before making the move, the two discussed and agreed on a number of occasions, and made a comprehensive plan for Scopa's future.
In addition to the chip factory, Scopag's original main business was basically MPEG1 and MPEG2 encoding and decoding a full range of integrated circuits. However, with the advancement of technology and the upgrading of the IT industry, these businesses alone can no longer support the entire Scopa exhibition. Therefore, after consulting with Chambers, Zhou Liwen decided that in the future, the main exhibition direction of Scopa will not only be the design and manufacture of mobile phone chip systems, but also include digital semiconductor devices for communications and computers. Of course, it also includes some research on digital video, after all, Scopa is still good in digital video technology, and whether it is a smartphone or tablet in the future, it is still inseparable from these core technologies, which is an important part of Zhou Liwen's overall plan.
After the completion of the acquisition of Scopa, Zhou Liwen immediately handed over the order for the smartphone chip system to Diff, and at the same time further increased the production quantity of the ordinary 2G mobile phone chip system. These two big orders, so that the board of directors appointed as the CEO of Div is overjoyed, because only in the smartphone chip system, this time Zhou Liwen in one breath placed a monthly order of 1ooo million, and according to Zhou Liwen's requirements, this number is far from enough, Scopa must be ready to expand production capacity, according to Zhou Liwen's plan, from the second half of this year to the first half of next year within 1o months, the production of smartphone chip systems must be increased and at least meet the astronomical figure of 25oo per month. Seeing this number, Div couldn't even believe his eyes, and hesitated to call Zhou Liwen in person to ask for confirmation, asking if he had written an extra zero on the order.
When he received Zhou Liwen's confirmed reply, Div felt a little dizzy. The maximum production capacity is 250,000 pieces per month, what does this mean? As the CEO of a large IT company, he knows better than anyone. This is a number that not to mention Scopa, I am afraid that all IT companies, including the famous Intel, have not achieved any achievement.
According to Diff's knowledge, Nintendo of Japan, which is known as Miracle Company in the IT industry, or the game console industry, sold about 650,000 units a year when the Fc machine was launched, which has already created a miracle. And in 1996, Nintendo launched the "Game Kid", which sold 4ooo million units worldwide in one go, which made everyone even more stunned. But compared with the number of chip systems required by Zhou Liwen, it can be said that there is a world of difference. Diff knows that Zhou Liwen's ORz company has achieved great success in the 2G mobile phone market, and according to calculations, it is far from the amount required now!
Don't look small about a chip system, but it represents the core of a mobile phone. According to Zhou Liwen's order amount, Zhou Liwen is confident that he will sell 100 million or even more mobile phones within 1o months. What does this mean? Is this possible? Diff was stunned and couldn't figure out where Zhou Liwen's self-confidence came from.
This order also shocked the chairman of the board of directors sent by Cisco to Scopa, and immediately reported the situation to Chambers. Seeing the report, Chambers was stunned, although he knew more about the inside story than Div, and at the same time was very optimistic about Zhou Liwen's smartphone project because of the Ios system, but now this situation also made him puzzled by Zhou Liwen's big step.
But Chambers wasn't Div, and he wasn't the Cisco executive he sent to Scopa to serve as chairman. Although he didn't understand where Zhou Liwen's confidence was, Chambers, who had dealt with Zhou Liwen several times, knew very well that Zhou Liwen, a young Chinese businessman, would never be a hot-headed fool, calm, steady, cunning, intelligent, and unscrupulous in his pursuit of wealth...... Almost like Chambers himself, such a man would never do this without complete certainty.
What's more, what if Zhou Liwen's plan fails? Wouldn't Cisco be able to take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to take ownership of the ORZ company, so as to get what it didn't get at the negotiating table? So, whatever the outcome, it doesn't matter to Cisco or Chambers himself. If Zhou Liwen succeeds, both Scopa and Cisco will be able to benefit greatly from it. And if Zhou Liwen fails, there will be no damage to both, and even Cisco can take the opportunity to swallow Orz in one bite.
After thinking about it for a while, Chambers immediately greeted his own people on the Scoopag board of directors in the name of the president of Cisco, asking them to fully cooperate with Zhou Liwen's smartphone plan, and if necessary, Cisco could even consider providing some support to Scoopag, but he had to keep his eyes open to see how far this Oriental kid who couldn't even figure it out could go.
