Chapter 1223 Desperate Negotiating Opponent

Yuanqi Technology, Conference Room 1.

Christopher sat on the comfortable leather chair, but he didn't feel comfortable at all.

Today, Motorola is surrounded by crises, and as the leader, he knows it better than anyone else.

The mobile phone business was once brilliant, but its decline was even more sudden than its rise, so much so that the old-timers on the board of directors all blamed him.

It is somewhat ineffective for him to speak within the company, and there are many reasons for this.

In addition, the semiconductor business continued to suffer losses last year. It was clear that good products that once dominated the market are not recognized by the market, and even show signs of being unable to succeed. This is really worrying.

Even Motorola's always-stable telecom equipment business is actively seeking breakthroughs in cooperation. The acquisition negotiations with Huawei are to improve the telecom equipment business production line, and also mean a big move for China's new market.

However, for a little-known Chinese company, the acquisition price was nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, which also caused a lot of pressure and objections from the board of directors.

These are all factors of instability within the company.

I originally expected to regain some authority and voice by selling the mobile phone business at a good price, but now I am suddenly stuck in this link that initially seemed to be the most insignificant.

It’s really impossible to say.

In contrast, Mike, who was sitting next to him, was much more relaxed.

In Mike's view, as long as the Huawei acquisition can be successfully promoted, it will not be difficult for Motorola to get out of the quagmire of losses.

Huawei is a Chinese private enterprise with great potential, which the die-hards on the board of directors simply cannot realize. But it doesn't matter, it won't take long before the facts and figures will make them shut up.

But speaking of it, the Yuanqi Technology in front of me is even better. If Motorola hadn't taken advantage of the other party's size and capital, Mike would have even wanted to include this company.

Because, in the future, you will definitely make money without losing money.

When Wu Tao came back from the office, he felt very interesting when he saw the different expressions of these two people.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Ruoxi brought him a cup of steaming hot coffee, replacing the one that had gone cold but had not been touched before.

After twirling the coffee cup in his hand and waiting for the chatter among the foreigners across the street to subside, Wu Tao got straight to the point.

"Christopher, as far as I know, there are still many places where we can strengthen cooperation, right?"

Seeing Wu Tao's warm look on his face, Kristoff felt extremely vigilant in his heart. However, Mike next to him thought about it from another angle and felt a bit enlightened.

After all, Huaxia Wu's reputation is booming now. If it can really cooperate with the other party, or even if there are rumors of cooperation, the company's stock may experience a surge.

This is a real benefit, and it is popular.

Thinking of this, Mike looked back at his immediate boss with a dead look on his face, and suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

Everything, whether active or passive, can be discussed.

Although Kristoff didn't think so, he still insisted and continued, "Oh? Then please tell Hua Xia Wu?"

Not active, not proactive, not happy.

You won't cooperate at all, but it doesn't matter. Wu Tao put down his coffee cup. Anyway, Qin Xiaoxiao had just made a list of all the assets owned by Motorola, and it was currently lingering in his mind.

"First point, Christopher, Motorola's mobile phone business..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Kristoff blurted out and interrupted: "Wu, Motorola's mobile phone business will be divested and sold soon. Those accumulated patents and technical solutions must be packaged and transferred at the same time, so I think at this point, we There is no possibility of cooperation.”

The patents and technical solutions that Motorola has accumulated over the years in mobile communications are the most valuable part of the entire mobile phone business. It is not surprising that Christopher is so nervous.

However, Wu Tao raised his eyebrows but remained unmoved.

After Christopher finished speaking and saw his reaction, he immediately felt like he had been deceived.

"Calm down, Kristoff," Wu Tao said with a smile on his face, as if he had everything under control: "Neither Yuanqi Technology nor I am interested in your company's communication patents and technical solutions."

"...But as far as I know, in order to compete for the domestic market in the United States, Motorola mobile phones have previously set up product entry barriers in many states and counties, so that to this day, Lotus mobile phones are still not openly sold in many states and counties, right?"

Kristoff suddenly thought that this was not cooperation in essence, but more like... settling the scores.

But since Motorola is already planning to sell its mobile phone business, it might as well make a generous concession on this matter and at least show some goodwill and sincerity.

"Is there such a thing?" Christoph agreed in his heart, but he still did not formally admit it: "If it is true, I will strictly order an end to this unfair competition in the market. Believe me, we are the most advocating fair!"

Wu Tao listened with a smile and continued noncommittally: "Then the second point is that your company has a semiconductor business, and I am now vigorously developing the semiconductor business in China. In this regard, we can carry out win-win cooperation, such as patents, talent training, technology Plans, etc..."

"NONONO," Kristoff said NO before Wu Tao finished speaking, "This is impossible, Wu, I don't think we have the foundation and soil for cooperation in this regard."

Regarding this point, Mike wanted to express some opinions of his own, but he failed to guard against it and was blocked by Kristoff.

Oh wow, your attitude is very determined! Wu Tao looked calm and said: "Are you sure, Christoph? I have to remind you that if you reject me without thinking, you will push my investment and market into the arms of my opponents. For example, ARM?"

What the hell? Christopher was stunned. How could he know everything?

At this moment, Mike also missed the opportunity to come over and whispered: "I think this matter can be considered. The semiconductor area was originally planned to be spun off to establish a separate company this year. If Huaxia Wu joins by then, what will happen to the listing? The pros outweigh the cons.”

This is true.

Christopher calmed down, but he still didn't dare to agree rashly. He thought delaying for now was the best answer.

However, before he could formally speak, Wu Tao then threw out another bargaining chip and continued: "Christopher, as far as I know, your company's semiconductor business lost more than one billion yuan last year, right? Do you think it can be spun off? Is it possible to turn losses into profits by listing alone?”

Christopher, who had just calmed down, suddenly couldn't calm down anymore: Oh my God, how much does he still know?

This feeling is like becoming a naked child, being grabbed by someone's cock and flicking it like crazy...

It’s so desperate!
