Chapter 1300: Strategic-level products
readx;?“ But...... Are you guys playing for real? After enduring and enduring, Qiu Yingchun finally couldn't hold back and asked again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info △↗,
Although Lianchuang Technology's series of actions don't look like they really want to buy Motorola, but rather like they are making trouble for Motorola, Qiu Yingchun has a feeling that Lin Zheng seems to be playing really.
"Do you think I can joke about something like that?" Lin Zheng said with a wry smile.
"No......" Although Lin Zheng has made it clear that they really want to buy Motorola, when these words really came out of Lin Zheng's mouth, Qiu Yingchun still couldn't believe his ears: "Let's not talk about the market value of Motorola, do you think the US government can agree?" ”
Motorola's market value is not high, Torin Zheng's "Fu", now it is only more than 24 billion US dollars, compared with the market value of nearly 400 billion US dollars in the same period in history, which is completely different, in addition to Lin Zheng's "Fu", the biggest reason is that Motorola's own head is twitched, and it is pumped twice: the first time, did not catch the wave of digital mobile communication technology, resulting in being caught up by Nokia and Lianchuang Technology, the second time, It's the Iridium plan that made Motorola almost lose its pants, and when it comes to the Iridium plan, this is simply Chris. Calvin made a strategic mistake: Few people could afford a satellite phone that cost more than $3,000 a minute and cost $7 per minute.
"It doesn't matter whether the U.S. government agrees or not," Lin Zheng smiled: "The important thing is the market." ”
Qiu Yingchun suddenly screamed "Ah......".
He finally understood what Lin Zheng meant: it doesn't matter whether Lianchuang Technology can successfully acquire Motorola, the important thing is that Lin Zheng wants to use this action to suppress Motorola's market share, and it must be said that Lin Zheng's idea is crazy to the extreme. The root of the use is to kill the enemy with a thousand self-inflicted injuries and eight hundred wounds, and these tens of billions of dollars will be smashed down. Motorola is certainly ten times more likely, but such a large sum of money is thrown out. Lianchuang Technology can't hold it up by itself, right?
And most importantly, Lin Zheng seems to have chosen a very bad partner, and at the beginning of this cooperation, he honestly stabbed him in the back...... Hey? Wrong!
Qiu Yingchun suddenly reacted and looked at Lin Zheng with a strange expression: "Xiaolin, don't tell me that you already knew that Siemens would reveal the news to Motorola." ”
Lin Zheng smiled and nodded: "Now it seems that our cooperation with Siemens is quite pleasant, isn't it?" ”
"......" Qiu Yingchun suddenly looked at Lin Zheng like a monster, but since Siemens' rebellion was expected by him, Lin Zheng had nothing to worry about. Sighing and shaking his head: "I really don't know how your brain grows...... Isn't funding really a problem? ”
If Lianchuang Technology can really pit Motorola...... Oh, no, how can this be called a pit, the things of a scholar can't be called a pit, it should be called a hold, if Lianchuang Technology can help Motorola well, it's worth spending some money.
"I don't need so much money," Lin Zheng waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "If we pack up a Motorola, it will cost us tens of billions of dollars." Then we also lose a little. ”
Qiu Yingchun was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: Also, if Lin Zheng really wants to buy Motorola, I am afraid it will not be possible without a small $20 billion. But if you just want to dig a hole for Motorola and fall on them, even if Motorola is a behemoth, it is estimated that a few hundred million dollars is enough......
Well? When will I stop taking hundreds of millions of dollars as money? Be aware of this. Qiu Yingchun was suddenly a little stunned, but his reaction was still very fast after all. After being stunned for a short time, he immediately coughed lightly and said to Lin Zheng: "Since that's the case." Honestly, how sure are you? ”
"Up to 5 years." Lin Zheng said softly.
5 years? Qiu Yingchun understood: Lin Zheng is going to use a maximum of 5 years to cripple Motorola. Slap your thigh hard: "Okay!" Then I am waiting for your good news! ”
…………………………………………
The republic knows it, but Motorola is numb, when the media is laughing at the Chinese daydreaming, the stock market has made a targeted response to the Chinese's daydream: for more than a week, Motorola's stock price is slowly and firmly falling!
This situation looks at Christophe. Galvin broke out in a cold sweat!
What does this mean? This shows that no matter how the media sings about Lianchuang Technology's acquisition of Motorola, the market has made its own judgment: the market believes that Lianchuang Technology is possible enough for Motorola, and is pessimistic about whether Motorola can successfully resist Lianchuang Technology's acquisition.
The media is in a variety of ways, whether it is due to past friendships, whether it is Motorola giving money, or it may be that it does not want to see Chinese pride in buying Americans...... But whatever the reason, they may ignore something and make diametrically opposed judgments, but the market doesn't lie, it just tells you the answer with coldness and cruelty.
I'm rubbing~~
Christopher. Galvin's whole person is not good, he really can't understand that Motorola is still one of the world's three major mobile phone manufacturing brands, why is it so unfavored by the market?
No matter why the market is so unoptimistic about Motorola, in fact, it doesn't matter anymore, and Christophe, who has said in several interviews with the media that he wants to "defend Motorola's king position in the field of mobile communications". Galvin, a crazy decision has been made: launch a strategic-level plan!
"Gentlemen, we must seriously consider the RAZR program," Kristoff said. Galvin's gaze swept over the directors' faces like lasers: "I believe you have seen Motorola's reaction in the stock market, I am sure this is not the result that everyone wants to see, now, it's time to prove to the market that Motorola is still Motorola, show our strength, let those bastards who look down on us wake up, Motorola is still Motorola, sometimes our reaction may be a little sluggish." But as long as we decide to fight back, there is no one against us. ”
The RAZR program was half a year ago. Seeing that Motorola's market share not only fell, Christophe. A plan proposed by Galvin to revive Motorola. Specifically, the development and promotion of a strategic-level and excellent digital phone has been well underway in the early stages, and after a careful analysis of the market, the RAZR team has come up with several core elements of this strategic-level product: ultra-thin design, metal body, and luxurious texture.
But unfortunately, when the plan progressed to the mid-term, the RAZR plan was suspended due to a series of factors, but now, seeing that Motorola was suppressed by Lianchuang Technology, Christophe. Galvin thinks it's time to actually restart the RAZR program.
"Christophe. Do you really think the RZAR program can help Motorola out of its current predicament? Robinson, one of the board members, asked with a frown.
He was one of the staunch opponents of the RAZR program at the time, arguing that Motorola could not pin its hopes for revival on a product that it did not know would be accepted by the market, which was too risky. Robinson's concerns are valid, and unless they are really out of the question, no company will pin their hopes on such a last-to-be-faced product.
But now, apparently, it is a different situation, and Motorola's stock price has been falling one after another, with no sign of reversing. The market is seriously pessimistic about Motorola's future, and the worst thing is that Motorola has boycotted the entire line of Motorola's mobile phone products in China because of the poor decision to boycott the entry of Chinese mobile phones into the U.S. market, and the market share has fallen from more than 80% at the peak to less than 10% last month. Motorola has really reached the most dangerous time.
However, he remains skeptical that the RAZR program will save Motorola.
"I'm not sure." Facing Robinson's skeptical gaze, Christophe. Galvin said frankly, "But I think we have to. If Motorola doesn't make changes, the market will really not have much time left...... What kind of reaction has Lianchuang Technology launched in the market like folding phones and screw-cap phones. I'm sure you should remember it. ”
Christopher. As soon as Galvin said this, there was a sudden silence in the huge conference room.
Of course, you still remember what kind of sensation and madness caused in the market by Lianchuang Technology's world's first upper flip folding mobile phone and screw-top mobile phone, to put it mildly, Lianchuang Technology can have today's market position, these two products are indispensable, it is not too much to say that these two products are strategic products that have established the status of Lisheng mobile phones, perhaps, Motorola has also come to launch a strategic product.
"Okay," Robinson took a deep breath, "while I'm still skeptical about whether the RAZR can afford a strategic product, ...... I am cautiously supportive. ”
Prudent support is also support, Christophe. A gimmicked grief crossed Galvin's face, Robinson was a staunch opponent of the board, and with his "cautious support," the RAZR plan was half the battle.
"Thank you," Christophe. Galvin gave Robinson a rare salutific and then swept his gaze over the faces of the other directors: "Gentlemen, who has any problems. ”
"No problem."
"Motorola really needs the RAZR right now."
"Then it's decided......"
“……”
In the midst of the shouts of support, a voice that seemed out of place rang out: "Christophe, I have a question. ”
Well? Christopher. Galvin frowned, but although he was the chairman, he couldn't cover the sky with one hand in the boardroom, so he had to squeeze out a smile and ask, "Donald, what's your problem?" ”
Donald didn't talk to Christopher either. Galvin was polite and asked directly, "Christophe, when will the Zara plan be completed?" ”
That's right! A bunch of old guys just think about how important such a strategic product is to Motorola, but forget the most important point: time to market!
Not to mention whether the RAZR can take on the responsibility of being a strategic product for Motorola to turn things around, just to say that even if this product is impeccable from the inside out, if it comes to market too late and Motorola loses the opportunity, then the significance will not be as important as it is now evaluated.
“…… 5 months. "Hesitating for a moment, Christophe. Galvin gave a timeline: "At most 5 months, the RAZR will be officially available." ”
"5 months? My God! Donald exclaimed.
It's not just Donald who exclaimed, but the exclamations of the directors don't have to be small at all: Nima 5 months, if it was any other time, it would be fine, but now Motorola is in urgent need of such a strategic product, even if it can wait for 5 months, but will the market give Motorola 5 months?
At this moment, many Motorola directors suddenly regretted in their hearts, regretting that they should not have driven Lisheng mobile phones out of the United States, if they did not drive Lisheng mobile phones out of the United States, with Motorola's influence in the United States, at least they could involve their energy, but now it is okay, Lisheng mobile phones, which do not have the slightest market share in the United States, do not have to care about Motorola at all...... At this moment, these guys deeply realized what it means to be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
"5 months? No way! Without waiting for Donald to speak, Robinson shouted: "5 months will definitely not work!" Up to 3 months! ”
"5 months? Are you kidding! ”
"That's right! Up to 3 months! ”
"It would be nice if I could take it out within 2 months......
…………
“……”
Listening to the boiling opposition in the conference room, Christophe. Galvin's mouth was bitter as chewing on a mouthful of coptis, he didn't know that five months was too long for the current Motorola, and if he could, he would like to bring the Razr to market tomorrow, but the question is is that is possible?
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, I think you need to calm down," although his mouth was bitter, but as the chairman, Christoph . Galvin was responsible, and he said loudly: "You should believe that 5 months is not an insurmountable difficulty for Motorola...... Well? ”
Seeing the secretary who hurriedly pushed the door in and looked panicked, Christophe. Galvin's heart sank.
"What's the matter?" Despite the bad feeling in my heart, Christophe. Still controlling his emotions, Galvin asked the secretary.
Christopher. Galvin's secretary's voice trembled violently: "Sir, Chinese...... Just launched a global strategic mobile phone ......"
