Chapter 22: Aiko Mitsui Strikes (5)

Japan, Kansai region, Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, Kyocera Co., Ltd., Japan.

Kazuo Inamori looked at the person sitting in front of him, and was very interested! The second largest shareholder of Microsoft Corporation, the president of St. Louis Cable Corporation, Paul Brown. Allan.

Kazuo Inamori: "Mr. Paul means to acquire the landline business under the name of the Second Telecommunications and Telephone Company (DDI)?" ”

Paul. Allen: "Mr. Inamori, I think what I mean is very clear in the project book! St. Louis Ltd. wants to be granted permanent access to DDI's landline network! In exchange for the perpetual rights, St. Louis Cable will not only acquire DDI's 'Telephone' brand (referring to DDI's landline business), but we will also be part of DDI's expansion of the landline network throughout Japan! $7.5 billion, that's our purchase price! ”

Kazuo Inamori: "$7.5 billion? ”

Paul. Allen: "Yes, $7.5 billion!" DDI's landline business, excluding AU network! ”

The AU network is a mobile communication network based on the car telephone network designed by Motorola jointly built by Toyota Motor Corporation and Kyocera Corporation of Japan in 1985.

In 1989, there were three large telecommunications companies in Japan: the Japan Telegraph and Telephone Company (NTT), which was converted from a state-owned enterprise to a private company, and the Japanese government still held about 46% of the shares, Nippon High-Speed Communications (KDD), which was established by Toyota, a member of the Japan Highway Corporation, and the Second Telecommunications and Telephone Company (DDI), which was established by Kyocera Corporation of Japan. In June 1985, DDI obtained the first class telecommunications business license, but the company's development did not go well! Because NTT can lay communication routes along railways, KDD can lay lines along highways, and DDI, without the support of the State Railways and Highway Regiments, DDI's route laying can only be carried out by erecting base stations on the top of mountains!

In front of the Big Mac NTT, DDI trembled like a small poor chicken cub!

Therefore, the bid of $7.5 billion made Kazuo Inamori very puzzled! Is Microsoft's second shareholder a visionary genius or a blind?

Truth be told, Paul. Alan really has a bit of a blind taste! Ever since Jerry found him and stuffed him with a 3-in-1 jihua, this guy has been a little crazy! Telecommunications network, computer network, cable TV network triple play! What's in this little guy's head?

Jerry: "How's that?" Paul, are you interested in such a jihua? ”

Paul. Allen: "Of course I am!" ”

Jerry: "Good! If you're interested, pay for it! At least a billion dollars! ”

Paul. Allen: "Even if I sold St. Louis Cable, I wouldn't have that much money!" ”

Jerry: "Don't you still have a 30% stake in Microsoft?" ”。

Paul. Allen: "Hey~ Jerry, did you already make up your mind?" ”

Jerry laughed and didn't say a word!

But Paul. Alan is still very happy to transfer 10% of Microsoft's shares!

Weishenme is Paul. Allen instead of Bill. Gates? That's one of the reasons!

In Paul. In Allen's eyes, Microsoft's shares are just a kind of capital, and at any time, as long as he needs funds, he will sell Microsoft's shares! What's more, this time, the buyer of the shares is this wonder boy, not only that, but this wonder boy gave him a very good investment plan in addition to giving him a very good price!

Triple play, if in Japan, this jihua can be successfully implemented, St. Louis Cable TV can also learn from the successful experience of this time, and widely apply commercial cable TV to life!

That bold imagination about the wave of computer Internet really made his blood boil! …,

Interested in all kinds of technology jishu innovative industries, especially the cable TV network and the Internet, Jerry approached Paul. Another reason for Allen!

Kazuo Inamori didn't know Paul. Alan Weishenme will have such a big interest in DDI's landline business, but he himself knows that DDI's landline business will not grow very much for a long time to come. In other words, this is no longer a sunrise industry! It is precisely because of this analysis that DDI's internal personnel have positioned the company's main development direction in the field of mobile communications as early as possible. The AU network is their light. With a giant like NTT, DDI's share of the Japanese fixed-line telecommunications market will not exceed 30% at most. So, $7.5 billion is a very good deal! What's more, DDI not only did not lose access to the fixed telephone network, on the contrary, they also gained a solid and powerful ally!

Therefore, after discussing with Mitsubishi Corporation, Sony and many other joint venture partners, DDI's fixed-line telephone business was transferred to St. Louis Cable TV Company for $7.5 billion! The assignment agreement states that St. Louis Cable and DDI jointly own the rights and development obligations of DDI's fixed telephone network, in addition to the AU network!

Since then, St. Louis Cable has entered into a partnership agreement with TBS at lightning speed.

"As long as you pull a DDI phone line, you can start TBS TV cable service at the same time as you make a call! No installation fee, free cable TV usage fee, ten preferential packages are waiting for you to choose! Go to the major DDI business halls to handle business, and there are additional surprises waiting for you to pre-deposit phone bills......"

Similar flyers are flying all over the sky through the channels of Samshodo and TY Entertainment!

When TBS TV disappeared from the eyes of the Japanese people for nearly a month, such a news undoubtedly detonated the passion of the Japanese people! In everyone's subconscious, the content of cable TV is often much more exciting than the content of radio and television! What's more, there is no need to pay any fees to turn on cable TV this time, where to find such a good thing! As a result, driven by this idea, DDI's fixed-line business has exploded!

With the explosive growth of DDI's fixed-line business, the number of DDI's employees has also skyrocketed, and the expansion and improvement of fixed-line networks throughout Japan's 43 prefectures have been put on the agenda!

Kazuo Inamori was dumbfounded!

Paul. Is Eren giving up on himself? No, absolutely not!

After analyzing the leaflets and making a precise analysis of the various packages of the leaflets, such as 1,200 yen per month, 100 minutes of fixed call duration, and 25 yen per minute for exceeding the duration, what else could Kazuo Inamori do besides helplessness?

More profitable than NTT!

More terrifying than monopoly!

While the Japanese people paid money and praised, they didn't know the huge profits of being slaughtered!

Paul. Allen, Paul. Allan......

The University School TV and Jidao Club TV, which have already been invested by JR, have completed the integration of resources, and in order to compete with the major prefectural TV stations, they have gathered into a new network, the Japanese college student simulcast network!

NTT's president, Hiroshi Yoshimura, grabbed the flyer of DDI's fixed-line business in one hand and NTT's market data for the month with the other.

As for Aiko Mitsui, I'm sorry, she's in the kendo hall right now, crackling in full armor! ……,
