Chapter 1739 1739 / Mobile phone brand authorization
Luo Lina pouted: "Really?"
Americans really don't understand the humor of Chinese people!
Fang Tian smiled and said: "It's just a joke. The hair dryer we make is different from the traditional hair dryer. It can deeply replenish water and make the hair softer."
Luo Lina was excited: "What a powerful hair dryer, how did you invent it?"
Fang Tian coughed dryly: "It's digressing. Mobile phones are the products that Ruanyun focuses on now."
Luo Lina continued to ask: "For Soft Cloud, is the system or the application important?"
Fang Tianfei said quickly: "System! I care more about the success of the Mengzhen system. Next, I will cooperate with Motorola."
……
chicago.
Fang Tian and Li Qiguang got off the plane and came to Chicago for one purpose, to cooperate with Motorola.
The world's first mobile phone was born in Motorola's laboratory in 1973.
In the 1g era, it is the absolute king.
But in the 2G era, Nokia rose, and the company began to decline.
In the 3G era, it officially entered the era of mobile touch screens. This mobile phone brand was even abandoned by users all over the world. The factory was closed and sold to Lenovo.
In fact, as early as 2000, Motorola launched the world's first touch-screen mobile phone. However, that is not a capacitive screen, but a resistive screen. It is not sensitive and needs to be pressed hard, and it cannot be multi-touch. give up.
Motorola has not yet entered the era of smartphones, but it has already declined. The quality is not as good as that of Nokia, and it is more expensive than Nokia.
Fang Tian intends to buy Motorola, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to realize. Although Motorola is showing signs of prosperity and decline, the company's valuation is still quite high.
Fang Tian stood in the lobby, looking at the receptionist: "Is your president here?"
"Mr. Brown, the meeting is upstairs." The front desk lady smiled and said, "I don't know what you can do with him?"
Fang Tian laughed and said, "Tell your boss that I want to buy Motorola!"
With such a loud tone, the front desk lady was surprised for a while and smiled. "Sir, are you kidding me?"
Fang Tian took out his business card and handed it to her. "Leave it to your president."
The front desk took the business card, handed it to the waiter, and asked him to pass it to the president.
The front desk didn't believe it anymore, Fang Tian has the financial resources to buy Motorola?dream.
After 5 minutes, the waiter came downstairs: "Mr. Fang Tian, please come upstairs with me, Mr. Brown wants to see you!"
Immediately, Fang Tian and Li Qiguang walked upstairs.
The lady at the front desk was puzzled: "Who is he? Why does Mr. Brown want to see him?"
The waiter smiled and said, "A dragon from the east. Do you know about skybook? It is a product of his company!"
The front desk lady was shocked that the largest social networking site in the United States belonged to him.
CEO's office.
President Brown held a document in his hand, and looked at Motorola's global sales, his brows were furrowed.
It has been seriously behind Nokia, and if it continues like this, it will be eliminated sooner or later.
But in the face of a powerful enemy like Nokia, what can be done to reverse the situation?
"Mr. Brown, I think you didn't sleep well last night." Fang Tian walked in and looked at him with a smile.
Brown put down the papers in his hands and stood up with a forced smile. "Mr. Fang Tian, tell me directly, the purpose of your coming here."
They're all big names in the technology industry and they know each other well.
Fang Tian and Li Qiguang sat across from him.
"It's simple, sell me your Motorola cell phone business."
Brown was also very decisive: "It's not impossible to sell it to you, as long as you can afford the price, it's absolutely fine to sell it to you."
The waiter came over and offered a cup of coffee.
Fang Tiandao: "Tell me, how much are you willing to sell?"
Brown held up a finger.
Fang Tiandao: "One hundred million?"
Brown's head was a little dizzy: "Mr. Fang Tian, you are so funny. You want to buy Motorola for 100 million. It's [-] billion dollars!"
Fang Tian almost spit out a mouthful of coffee. In his previous life, Lenovo spent 29 billion dollars to acquire Motorola, and your asking price is 100 billion dollars!
Of course, the times are different. When Lenovo acquired Motorola, Motorola was dying and seriously declining. But at this point in 03, Motorola mobile phones had a relatively large influence in the world.
Although Ruanyun has the money, he will never be taken advantage of.
Fang Tian took a sip of his coffee: "Motorola has passed its peak period, and the price is too high."
Brown tapped his fingers on the table: "Although Motorola is not as good as it used to be, the $100 billion is definitely worth it."
Fang Tian stroked his chin and thought for a while, the purpose of coming here was not purely for the acquisition, if the acquisition failed, cooperation is also possible.
The conversation changed: "If you are not willing to sell, I think our two companies can cooperate."
"Cooperation?" Brown wondered.
In the following time, Li Qiguang, who was sitting on the side, took out a document from the black briefcase and handed it over.
Brown took it and looked at it a little.
Fang Tian said: "I hope to cooperate with you to establish a new company. A company specializing in smartphones uses your company's brand and is equipped with our company's operating system."
Motorola mobile phone, for Fang Tian, its greatest value is not a technical patent, not an asset, nor a sales channel, but a brand.
With the advent of the era of touch-screen mobile phones, Motorola's mobile phone patents are meaningless, as they are all feature phone technologies.
All that matters is its brand. Motorola has a high reputation and fan loyalty all over the world, especially in the United States.
Brown thought for a while and said: "Motorola once launched a touch-screen mobile phone, but the sales were poor. I don't think much of it at all, and I won't cooperate to make a touch-screen mobile phone."
