Chapter 1300 Strategic Products
"But... are you playing really?" After enduring it, Qiu Yingchun finally couldn't help it and asked again.
Although Lianchuang Technology's series of actions seem to be really trying to acquire Motorola, but instead it seems to be making trouble for Motorola, Qiu Yingchun has a feeling that Lin Zheng seems to be playing the real thing.
"Do you think I can joke about such things?" Lin Zheng said with a wry smile.
"No..." Although Lin Zheng has made it clear that they really want to acquire Motorola, when this statement was really out of Lin Zheng's mouth, Qiu Yingchun still couldn't believe his ears: "We won't say the market value of Motorola. Do you think the US government can agree?"
Motorola's market value is not high. To Lin Zheng's "luck" is now only more than 24 billion US dollars, which is completely incomparable to the market value of nearly 40 billion US dollars in the same period. In addition to the "luck" of Lin Zheng, the biggest reason is that Motorola's own head is sucked, and it also sucked twice: the first time, it failed to seize the wave of digital mobile communication technology, which led to being caught up by Nokia and Lianchuang Technology. The second time was the Iridium Plan, which almost made Motorola lose its pants. Speaking of the Iridium Plan, this is simply a strategic mistake of Chris Calvin: few people can afford satellite phones with a cost of more than 3,000 US dollars per minute, and a call fee of US$7 per minute.
"It doesn't matter whether the US government will agree," Lin Zheng smiled: "What matters is the market."
Qiu Yingchun immediately screamed "Ah..."
He finally understood what Lin Zheng meant: It doesn't matter whether Lianchuang Technology can successfully acquire Motorola. What is important is that Lin Zheng wants to use this action to suppress Motorola's market share. It must be said that Lin Zheng's idea is extremely crazy. He simply uses the seven-injury punch that kills one thousand enemies and loses himself for 800 yuan. This is a hundred billion dollars. Although Motorola is probably lying down, but such a large amount of money is thrown out. Lianchuang Technology itself can't hold on, right?
And most importantly, Lin Zheng seemed to have chosen a very bad partner. At the beginning of the cooperation, he was honest and unceremonious and stabbed him hard... Huh? No!
Qiu Yingchun suddenly reacted and looked at Lin Zheng with a strange look on his face: "Xiaolin, don't tell me that you knew it a long time ago that Siemens would reveal the news to Motorola."
Lin Zheng smiled and nodded: "Now it seems that our cooperation with Siemens is quite pleasant, right?"
"..." Qiu Yingchun immediately looked at Lin Zheng like a monster, but since Siemens' rebellion was already within his expectations, Lin Zheng had nothing to worry about. He sighed and shook his head: "I really don't know how your brain is... Isn't it a problem with funds?"
If Lianchuang Technology can really cheat Motorola... Oh, no, how can this be called a cheat? The matter of scholars cannot be called a cheat, it should be called support. If Lianchuang Technology can help Motorola well, it would be worth spending some money.
"It won't cost so much money," Lin Zheng waved his hands repeatedly and said with a lot of laughter and crying: "If we clean up a Motorola, it will cost us tens of billions of dollars. Then we are losing a little."
Qiu Yingchun was stunned for a moment and smiled: Yes, if Lin Zheng really wanted to acquire Motorola, it would be impossible without a small $20 billion. But if he just wanted to dig a hole for Motorola and crash them, even if Motorola is a giant, it would probably be enough to have hundreds of millions of dollars...
Hum? When did I not consider hundreds of millions of dollars as money? Realizing this, Qiu Yingchun was suddenly stunned, but his reaction was still very fast. After a brief moment of being stunned, he immediately coughed twice and said to Lin Zheng: "Since that's the case, Xiaolin, tell me the truth, how sure are you?"
"At most, 5 years." Lin Zheng said softly.
5 years? Qiu Yingchun understood: Lin Zheng is planning to use up to 5 years to make Motorola cripple. He slapped his thigh hard: "Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The Republic knew it, but Motorola was irritated. When the media mocked the Chinese people for daydreaming, the stock market responded in a targeted manner to the Chinese people's daydreaming: after more than a week of contact, Motorola's stock price was slowly and firmly falling!
This situation made Christopher Galvin sweat in a cold sweat!
What does this mean? This shows that no matter how the media criticizes Lianchuang Technology's acquisition of Motorola, the market has made its own judgment: the market believes that Lianchuang Technology is possible enough for Motorola, and is pessimistic about whether Motorola can successfully withstand Lianchuang Technology's acquisition behavior.
The media is in various reasons, maybe out of past friendship, maybe because Motorola gave money, or maybe it was the pride of not wanting to see the Chinese acquire Americans... But for whatever reason, they may ignore some things and make completely opposite judgments, but the market will not lie, he will only tell you the answer with coldness and cruelty.
I'll do it
Christoph Galvin is in a bad mood. He really can't understand why Motorola is still one of the three largest mobile phone manufacturing brands in the world. Why is it so unpopular by the market?
No matter why the market is so unprotected by Motorola, it is actually no longer important. Christopher Galvin, who said he wanted to "defend Motorola's kingly position in the field of mobile communications" several times in interviews with the media, made a crazy decision: to launch a strategic plan!
"Gentlemen, we must seriously consider the razr plan," Christoph Galvin's eyes swept across the directors' faces like a laser: "I believe everyone has seen Motorola's reaction in the stock market. I'm sure this is not the result you want to see. Now, it's time to prove to the market that Motorola is still Motorola, so that those bastards who look down on us can wake up. Motorola is still Motorola, and sometimes our reaction may be a little slow. But as long as we decide to fight back, no one is our opponent."
The razr plan was half a year ago. Seeing that Motorola's market share not only declined, Christoph Galvin proposed a plan to revive Motorola. Specifically, it was to develop and promote a strategically excellent digital mobile phone. The entire plan was progressing smoothly in the early stage. After careful analysis of the market, the razr team has proposed several core elements of this strategically-level product: ultra-thin design, metal body, and luxurious texture.
Unfortunately, when the plan reached the mid-term, the Razr plan was suspended due to a series of factors. But now, seeing that Motorola was suppressed by Lianchuang Technology, Christoph Galvin believes that it is actually the one who restarted the Razr plan.
"Christoff. Do you really think the RZAR program can help Motorola get out of its current predicament?" Robinson, one of the board members, asked, frowned.
He was one of the staunch opponents of the Razr plan, and the reason for his opposition was that Motorola could not pin his hopes for revitalization on a product that was unknown whether it could be recognized by the market. This was too risky. In the heart, Robinson's concerns were indeed very reasonable. Unless it really came to an ineffective position, no company would pin his hopes on such a product similar to a fight against the enemy.
But at the moment, it is obviously another situation. Motorola's stock price has been falling continuously and there is no sign of reversal. The market seriously disregards Motorola's future. The worst thing is that Motorola's poor decision to boycott Chinese mobile phones from entering the US market, which led to the resistance of Motorola's full range of products in China, and its market share has dropped from more than 80% at its highest period to less than 10% last month. Motorola has really reached the most dangerous time.
However, he still doubted whether the Razr plan could save Motorola.
"I can't be sure." Facing Robinson's skeptical gaze, Christoph Galvin said frankly: "But I think we must do this. If Motorola does not make any changes, the market will really not have much time left for us... Lianchuang Technology has launched a reaction like folding phones and swivel phones in the market. I believe you should still remember."
As soon as Christopher Galvin said this, the huge conference room suddenly became quiet.
Of course, everyone still remembers the world's first flip-flop folding phone and swivel-cap mobile phone launched by Lianchuang Technology, which caused a sensation and madness in the market. To be honest, these two products have made a contribution to Lianchuang Technology's current market position. It is not an exaggeration to say that these two products are strategic-level products that have established the world of Lisheng's mobile phones. Perhaps it is time for Motorola to launch a strategic-level product.
"Okay," Robinson took a deep breath: "Although I still have doubts about whether Razr can take on a strategic product, I am cautiously supportive."
Cautious support is also support, a hint of joy flashed across Christoph Galvin's face. Robinson was the guy who firmly opposed him. With his "cautious support", the razr plan was half successful.
"Thank you," Christoph Galvin used a rare honorific to Robinson, and his eyes swept across the other directors' faces: "Gentlemen, who has any questions."
“No problem.”
“Motorola does need razr now.”
"Then let's decide..."
“…”
Amid the support, a voice that seemed particularly out of place sounded: "Christoff, I have a problem."
Hum? Christoph Galvin frowned, but although he was the chairman, he could not cover the sky with his hands on the board of directors. He had to squeeze out a smile and ask, "Donald, what's the problem?"
Donald didn't be polite to Christoph Galvin, and asked directly: "Christoff, when will the Zara plan be completed?"
Yes! A group of old guys just think about how important this strategic product is to Motorola, but they forget the most important point: time to go to market!
Let’s not talk about whether razr can take on the heavy responsibility of being a strategic product that turns the situation around Motorola. Just to say, even if this product is impeccable from the inside out, if it is too late and Motorola loses the initiative, the significance will not be as important as it is now evaluated.
"…5 months." After hesitating for a moment, Christoph Galvin gave a time: "Razr can be officially launched in a maximum of 5 months."
"5 months? My God!" Donald exclaimed.
Not only Donald exclaimed, but the exclamations of the directors were not necessary at all. Donald said: Damn it, 5 months, if it were other times, it would be fine, but Motorola is urgently in need of such a strategic product. Even if it can wait for 5 months, will the market give Motorola 5 months?
At this moment, many Motorola directors suddenly regretted in their hearts, regretting that they shouldn't have driven Lisheng's mobile phone out of the United States. If they hadn't driven Lisheng's mobile phone out of the United States, with Motorola's influence in the United States, they could at least involve their energy. But now, Lisheng's mobile phone, which has no market share in the United States, doesn't have to care about Motorola at all... At this moment, these guys deeply realized what it means to be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
"5 months? No!" Before Donald could speak, Robinson shouted: "5 months will definitely not work! Up to 3 months!"
"5 months? What a joke!"
"That's right! Up to 3 months!"
"It would be even better if it could be taken out within 2 months..."
…………
“…”
Listening to the opposition in the conference room, Christoph Galvin's mouth was bitter as if he was chewing his mouth full of coptis chinensis. He also knew that for Motorola now, five months was too long. If possible, he would be willing to bring the razr to the market tomorrow, but is the problem possible?
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, I think everyone needs to calm down," Despite his great bitterness, Christoph Galvin, as chairman, has to be responsible, and he shouted: "Everyone should believe that five months are not a difficult difficulty for Motorola...well?"
Seeing the secretary who was hurriedly pushing the door in and panic-looking secretary, Christoph Galvin's heart kept sinking.
"What's the matter?" Although he felt something was wrong, Christoph Galvin still controlled his emotions and asked the secretary.
Christoph Galvin's secretary's voice was trembling: "Sir, Chinese... just launched a global strategic mobile phone..."
