"I'm in trouble now......" Looking at the official letter sent by Motorola saying that they would discuss porting ICQ to their mobile phones, Lin Zheng and Benier, look at me, the two of them smiled wryly, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Yes, yes......" Lin Zheng looked at the coffee cup in front of him intently, looking very serious, but the action of stirring the coffee cup looked very mechanical.

No way, who let this news come from Motorola, in the previous plan of the two, it was to unite European and Japanese mobile phone manufacturers to suppress Motorola's market share, but now Motorola has come out of its own, saying that it wants to cooperate with ICQ, in the face of such a behemoth, it is certainly impossible to refuse it directly, in fact, not in this industry, I can't imagine how much influence this company has in the United States, most people only think that Motorola is a mobile phone manufacturing company, But this is actually wrong is not the general outrageous, mobile phone business knowledge Motorola business scope is only a very small piece, satellite, aerospace, defense, semiconductor chip manufacturing, telecommunications industry overall solutions...... It's a behemoth that's actually no smaller than Boeing.

In the face of Motorola's "attention", no one dares to underestimate it, in fact, Lin Zheng hopes that ICQ will not be valued by Motorola.

"No matter what, we can't fall out with Motorola," Lin Zheng continued to stir the coffee cup intently, and his voice sounded unfluctuating at all: "Otherwise, we won't have to mix in the American market in the future." ”

"That's right!" Benier agrees with his boss's argument that only a fool would want to fall out with Motorola. Unless this guy doesn't want to mix in the United States, since the boss is still very clear-headed, it means that this matter is not too bad.

"But I'm sure Motorola won't be too talkative." Lin Zheng continued to talk to himself, as if he was talking to himself: "The cooperation conditions they give will definitely not be as good as those given by their counterparts in Europe and Japan......

"That's right......" Benier agrees.

"Since we can't make much money on Motorola, what we lose on Motorola, we can only recover from the other two partners." Lin Zheng's voice still sounded dumbfounded.

"That's right...... Poof......" Benier, who had been mechanically answering Lin Zheng's words, finally reacted, and a sip of coffee was sprayed directly on the ground by him, looking at Lin Zheng dumbfounded, with a funny expression as if he was wondering if he had auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations and other symptoms: "Boss." What do you say? ”

"I said that we have to make up for the losses of Motorola from the Europeans and the Japanese......"

"But Motorola got involved. The biggest loss is actually their ......" Lao Bei had to carefully remind his boss of a grim fact: this program, which was originally tailored for European and Japanese mobile phone manufacturers, basically no longer has any feasibility because of Motorola's participation.

"No, old Bei. If you think so, you're wrong. Lin Zheng, who had been dumbfounded and lowered his head and didn't say much, finally raised his head at this moment, and looked at him with shining eyes: "In fact, it should not be us who are most anxious at this time, but Motorola's Japanese and European counterparts." ”

"How could it be ......" Benier subconsciously wanted to refute, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, the whole person became the same as Lin Zheng, not only his eyes were bright. A face was also radiant with sudden realization, and he suddenly slapped the table: "I understand!" That's right. That's it! ”

Benier was not stupid after the first moment, and immediately understood that what his boss said could not be more correct: after Motorola decided to plug in the ICQ mobile phone, Motorola's Japanese and European counterparts had to face a form that had suddenly become more bad than ever!

What do you mean by that? The reason is very simple, Motorola is the natural enemy and biggest opponent of all of them, when Motorola did not realize the importance of porting ICQ to mobile phones, everyone transplanting ICQ to mobile phones can certainly threaten Motorola's market share, but because of Motorola's slow response, everyone actually attaches as much importance to this matter as Lin Zheng imagined; But now, when Motorola decided to step in, the question was no longer whether to cooperate with ICQ, but how to ensure that its market share in North America would not be further eroded by Motorola.

Market share further eroded by Motorola? That's not wrong at all, it's not an exaggeration at all, when Motorola has the old ICQ mobile client on its phone, and European and Japanese phones want to go further in the North American market? Dream on! Countless ICQ users will "spontaneously" choose Motorola's mobile phones, and for these European and Japanese mobile phone manufacturers, the only way to maintain their market share is to install ICQ clients on their mobile phones to maintain the previous situation.

Some people may say, it's a big deal, don't you want this North American market? The person who said this is purely standing and talking without backache, the North American market is the world's largest mobile communication equipment market, even if this is a little more than 10% of the market share is shared by everyone, everyone can barely fill their stomachs, why does Nokia develop into the Asian market? Isn't it just that Motorola is overwhelmed by the North American market?

But ICQ is the key to breaking this balance, once the balance is broken, everyone will not even have the opportunity to drink soup, so after Motorola, the breaker of the rules of the game, comes in, regardless of whether the European and Japanese mobile phone manufacturers will scold their mothers behind their backs, they have to choose to cooperate with ICQ, otherwise they will sit back and watch their market share be embezzled by the manufacturers who choose to cooperate with ICQ.

Lao Bei's eyes lit up fiercely, and his breathing was just as rapid: "So, we may be able to ask for a higher price than before?" ”

Such a good opportunity to slaughter fat sheep, if you don't slaughter it, you won't slaughter it. Lin Zheng was also excited in his heart, but he was excited, he didn't lose his mind because of this, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head with a wry smile: "No, if we really do this, it will be miserable to offend people." ”

"It's ......" Benier also agreed with Lin Zheng's statement, but seeing that such an opportunity to slaughter a fat sheep was in front of him, he was really unwilling to make good use of it: "But the opportunity is too rare." ”

"Yes, the opportunity is too rare," Lin Zheng was also concerned, and was silent for a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Benier: "You say, since Motorola has come in, in terms of the actual situation, is the number of places for the three families too small?" ”

"That's right, it's too little!" Benierden heard the strings and knew the elegance, and as soon as his boss pouted his buttocks, he immediately knew what Lin Zheng was planning to shit: "Maybe there should be 7 of them?" ”

If there are 7 companies, after removing the one place that must belong to Motorola, there will be 6 places left, that is, three places each for Japanese and European mobile phone companies?

In terms of mobile phone companies in Europe and Japan, of course, 6 places are not too much, but no more is not much meaning, Lin Zheng counted the number of mobile phone manufacturers in Europe and Japan with his fingers, and began to think about the best interests of cooperating with those companies.

After a long time, he nodded: "Well, 7 places is not bad." ”

"Then ......" Benier cautiously asked Lin Zheng, "Should this matter be sued to the media?" ”

"How can we sue the media?" Hearing Benier's words, Lin Zhengden was dissatisfied, and his eyebrows raised high: "This is obviously discovered by the media in the United States who are pervasive and powerful." ”

"Yes, yes...... Look at my brain! Benier patted his head in a sudden realization: "That's right, they found it themselves!" ”

Although all companies are doing this, using the media to facilitate their own plots, but this kind of thing is not to be done, otherwise where would those media have the ability to find out about this kind of thing? It must be discovered by the media itself, it must be discovered by the media itself!

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Motorola and ICQ are in secret contact, suspected of ...... between the two sides"

Looking at the headline in the newspaper, and not even waiting to read the content of the headline, Akiyama Shirakawa closed his eyes in pain: it was still taken by Motorola, and the situation faced by Kyocera was no longer a question of how to expand its market share, but how Kyocera should ensure that its current market share would not shrink further after Motorola cooperated with ICQ, and whether Kyocera mobile phones would survive or destroy Miè in the North American market......

There is no doubt that when Motorola finally realized the importance of ICQ to them and the threat of ICQ in the hands of their opponents, this behemoth immediately reacted and immediately began to fight back, but as soon as Motorola fought back, Kyocera was in big trouble, and at this moment, he began to resent Chairman Kazuo Inamori like never before: if Chairman Kazuo Inamori listened to his advice and finalized the cooperation with ICQ early, how could there be such trouble?

He was almost certain that ICQ would never let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rob.

Report to the president! After a long time, Akiyama Shirakawa finally opened his eyes slowly, and the perseverance on his face replaced the previous pain: Kyocera must immediately finalize the cooperation with ICQ, and quickly finalize the cooperation with North American telecom operators, only in this way, maybe it can expand its market share a little, otherwise it will be too late.
