Chapter 453 saved 150 million
Qualcomm insisted on three days in Hong Kong, but the signal was all sparse within three days, coming and going, and it was very normal to not be able to make a phone call at all, or to cut off the signal directly in the middle of the call.
As a result, Hong Kong Harbor naturally no longer has any expectations for this CDMA network, but began to urge Qualcomm to dismantle the base station, because there have been some hotel owners and owners, found that there is a towering thing on their heads, they expressed great concern that this kind of thing will affect the feng shui of their hotel, and unanimously asked to remove this eye-catching thing.
And according to the agreement, the experiment was supposed to be carried out for only three days, and now that the time is up, the things should be dismantled.
"Demolition!" In the end, Owen Jacob gave the order without tears, and it took half a month to install the various base stations, which took less than two days to dismantle, and then loaded them on the plane and transported back to the United States.
And those fake security guards also quietly evacuated the various hotel buildings, as if they had never appeared.
"Brother Jia, I'll help you with everything you explained!" On the phone, Xiang Huaqiang smiled and said, "But what is in your little black bag?" When I heard about Director Lin, my face was green at that time! ”
"Nothing, just a little signal jammer!" Jia Yapeng squinted his eyes and said.
Owen Jacob never dreamed that in fact, his experiment was a great success in history, and at the same time, Qualcomm also successfully obtained an order from Hong Kong and Hong Kong to arrange a new CDMA mobile telecommunications network for Hong Kong.
But this time, our boss Jia used insidious and vicious tricks, this guy got 16 signal jammers, and let these fake security guards move around the base station with signal jammers, and at the same time turn on and off from time to time.
The base station is the equipment that receives and transmits signals to the outside world, once the signal is interfered with, these base stations are useless, even if they are 20 years later.
It is natural that the communication effect will be intermittent.
Some people may wonder, won't Qualcomm send someone to investigate?
First of all, Qualcomm never thought that someone would secretly snipe themselves in this way, and the engineers at the bottom did not carry the equipment to detect signal interference at all.
At the same time, because these base stations are newly developed, Qualcomm Group instinctively believes that there are technical problems with its base stations, which leads to the situation that the signal is not working.
This is normal in the process of product development, and it often happens, after all, sometimes a rocket will explode when it is launched, and it is too normal for an experiment to fail.
Of course, if Qualcomm is really smart and has doubts, then as long as the fake security guard turns off the signal interference source as soon as possible, then no problem can be found, who would have thought that a security guard who seems to be working seriously and meticulously will carry a signal jammer in the toolkit he is carrying!
All in all, under Boss Jia's calculations, Qualcomm's experiment is bound to fail.
What made the whole Qualcomm even more desperate was that the reporters who came to the scene to interview them in order to promote CDMA technology have now all turned out to be Qualcomm killers.
That's it, some media inside the United States don't know how to get the news, and they actually reprinted all these articles to the United States.
You must know that the reason why Qualcomm chose to experiment in Hong Kong and Hong Kong is because it feels that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, even if there is a real problem, no one in the country will know the situation.
But this time, Qualcomm miscalculated.
With the news of the failure of the experiment spread everywhere, and at the same time, the news also said decently that CDMA technology is the lifeblood of Qualcomm that has invested all the money and research and development, and now that the CDMA technology has failed, then Qualcomm's previous hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development funds will all be wasted, and all patents and technologies will become worthless.
When such an article was issued, the result was predictable, Qualcomm's stock price began to dive instantly, falling 20% in one day, and finally rose to $600 million, and fell directly to $450 million.
After that, it fell sharply for three consecutive days, and finally fell to about $300 million before narrowing slightly, but it was still falling, and all the investors in Qualcomm were terrified, as if the Qualcomm stock in their hands was no longer money, but a hot yam.
"Mr. Potter, there's your phone!" One night at 10 o'clock, when Harry Potter was playing GB, the maid at home suddenly came over and said.
"No!" Harry Potter is now the general manager of the fund in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars, so he won't answer the phone at night.
"It's a call from the PMD Foundation, and they say they want to talk to you about selling Qualcomm shares!" The maid whispered!
"What!" Harry Potter jumped straight out of bed and was ready to answer the phone.
As a result, everyone walked to the bedroom door, but turned back again, lay back on the bed, waved his hand, and said, "You go and tell them that I am very tired now and need to rest, so that they can talk about something tomorrow!" ”
"Yes!" The maid gave her master a strange look, and then went to call back, but what the maid didn't expect was that in one night, there were actually three or four calls coming in, all of whom wanted to find Harry Potter to sell Qualcomm shares, but Harry Potter didn't answer any of them.
The next morning, Harry Potter got up, had a good breakfast, and returned to the office, the phone remembered frantically again, and this time Harry Potter slowly picked up the phone.
"What, Mr. Adam, you're going to sell me the stock now!"
"I'm sorry, how far has Qualcomm's stock fallen now, and a fool will take over at this time!"
"What, are you sure you really sold it to me at this price? Then don't regret it! ”
"Well, I need to report to the board, and this matter is not ...... urgent, my dear Mr. Adam, and you must not be in a hurry. Besides, it's useless for me to be in a hurry, the board of directors has to decide on this matter, I'm just a senior manager! “
"Why don't we make an appointment to play golf?"
The same conversation continued to play out in the Harry Potter office, and the Qualcomm shareholders who refused to let go of the price of Qualcomm shares have lowered the price of Qualcomm shares to an unimaginable level, just trying to sell their shares as quickly as possible.
After a few days of letting those shareholders dry, Harry Potter said the board wanted to buy Qualcomm's shares for a total market capitalization of no more than $200 million.
Harry Potter thought that after he had said such a price, the shareholders would still bargain.
Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of this at all, and directly said that it was decided and sold the shares in his hand to the United States Priority Foundation.
In the end, Harry Potter successfully acquired a total of 38% of Qualcomm's shares, and on the other hand, Harry Potter bought a wave of low-priced stocks in the stock market, buying another 8% of the shares from the stock market.
In this way, with the 5% stake that has been bought before, the Mi Country Priority Foundation owns 51% of Qualcomm's shares.
The total cost is about 150 million US dollars, which is half of the original estimate of 300 million US dollars, and the price is only a pure gold Guan Gong worth 4 million Hong Kong dollars, that is, 800,000 US dollars.
No more, no less, just 51%, completed the holding of Qualcomm, and Harry Potter also represented the United States Priority Foundation, officially became the chairman of Qualcomm Group, and became the board of directors of Qualcomm Group.
In this way, Boss Jia's most important piece of the puzzle in the United States can be regarded as closed.
