1330 Motorola came to beg for mercy)
"There is no technical problem. Now it seems that it is a foregone conclusion to acquire Motorola in the end," Tan Na replied confidently: "But whether the acquisition will be successful in the end depends on whether the relevant regulatory authorities of the US government will approve it."
"Why?" Yang Xiuyu asked in confusion: "When the time comes, one is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. Is it still depends on the expression of the US government?"
Chinese people in this era still have an unrealistic fantasy about the United States. Even educators like Yang Xiuyu who are engaged in education also think in their hearts that the United States is a highly free enterprise. As long as you have money, even a super giant like Boeing can buy it... The only problem is that we don’t have so much money. As long as we have money, everything is not a problem. They never think that there is still money in the United States that cannot be bought.
Lin Baoguo shook his head and said, "You think things are too simple. Motorola has provided equipment to the US and the army since World War II. What if it leaks the secret?"
"Dad, what you said," Tan Na nodded with a smile and agreed: "Mom, just like my dad said, Motorola is one of the main providers of US military communication equipment. At that time, there will definitely be politicians in the United States who will propose selling Motorola to us, which will lead to a serious leak crisis... This is not a problem that can be solved by lobbying several members of Congress."
Yang Xiuyu didn't understand it, but she really understood the general meaning: "That means that even if you and Motorola form an acquisition agreement, if the US government does not approve it, the acquisition action will not be reached? Then why do you have to do this?"
"You don't understand such a simple truth?" Lin Baoguo stared at Yang Xiuyu and said, "Their young couple's mobile phones are the best sold in China and have a good reputation internationally. But if they can't defeat Motorola, the leader of the mobile phone industry recognized by everyone in the world, they may admit that they are the second and third in this industry, but they just won't admit that they are the boss of this industry. If they want to become the boss of this industry, they must defeat Motorola... unless they don't want to be the boss."
"Is that true?" After hearing this, Yang Xiuyu did not believe it immediately, but turned to Tan Na with a suspicion.
"This is one of the main factors." Tan Na nodded with a smile.
"It's just one?" Yang Xiuyu became more and more interested: "What is the second factor?"
"The second reason is that if we even fail the industry's number one boss, other mobile phone brands should consider this aspect more when formulating their attitude towards us."
Yang Xiuyu suddenly realized: I understand, isn’t this just establishing authority!
But it is true that if you are a new latecomer, if you don’t work, support one or two more powerful guys in this industry, who can recognize your “stealth”? After defeating Motorola, you will win the respect of other competitors in the industry, this is also a good way.
However, the company of his son and daughter-in-law can actually defeat Motorola, a giant that is extremely powerful in his impression? This discovery made Lin Baoguo and Yang Xiuyu a little dazed. Although they have always known that their son's company is large and their investment in technology over the years, they have never dared to think that, or that they hope that their son's company can compete with giants like Motorola, and that Lianchuang Technology can tie Motorola in the domestic market. That is still an advantage of standing at home. But now it seems that they are still underestimating their son.
Lin Baoguo's reaction was faster. He took a deep breath and said to Tan Na: "Tan Na..."
"Dad, you said."
"At this point, my dad's experience may not be able to provide you with much help. You have to explore the future path yourself, but don't worry, it's really up to that point. I will do my best to let you be bullied."
Lin Baoguo said something a bit tragic. As a deputy department-level cadre, he has seen too many ugly phenomena and too many unqualified things. No one can guarantee whether these situations will be brought to his son and daughter-in-law one day. His words are to tell Lin Zheng and Tan Na that if it really comes to that day, he will be a father and a father-in-law, and he will never sit idly by and watch them be bullied. Even if it is good for others to touch the stone.
"Dad, don't say that, it's not that serious," Tan Na's eyes turned red, and she was very moved, and she smiled: "You forgot that we have invested a lot abroad. If you don't say anything else, there is also a bank with a total asset of tens of billions of dollars. It is impossible to defeat us in one go. If some people really plan to do something we are not happy about, and it really comes to that point, then don't blame us for being in a hurry and doing whatever we can..."
Lin Baoguo nodded in approval, but before he could say anything, Yang Xiuyu was a little anxious and hurriedly said: "This..."
"What's this?" Lin Baoguo glared at his wife fiercely, turned his head and looked at Tan Na with relief, obviously agreeing with his daughter-in-law's actions: "The rabbit is anxious and biting people. To that extent, can it be that they are only allowed to bully people and not let us fight back?"
"..." Yang Xiuyu stopped talking. In fact, from her own heart, she also agreed to do so. However, after being taught by Lin Baoguo, she felt a little uncomfortable on her face.
Tan Na smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, my dad is talking about the worst situation. In fact, we do this as a means of self-protection. Let others know that we have several nests, and if we really get angry, we won't have any good results, and others won't stretch out their hands."
"I have been teaching students for so many years, and I still know this principle," Yang Xiuyu naturally stepped on the stool sent by Tan Na, and gave Lin Baoguo a blank look and said angrily: "This thing is like a nuclear weapon. If you have it, you have to consider it carefully when others want to bully you. If you don't, you have to endure it if others bully you... Old man, do you think you understand these principles?"
Now, Lin Baoguo couldn't hold back his face and snorted: "I don't know you like you."
Tan Na hurriedly took Tan Na's arm and said with a smile: "Mom, let's go make dumplings. Those two little guys should probably be back soon..."
Lin Zheng said that he wanted to contact Motorola, which was not just a lie, but that it was true.
Lianchuang Technology's actions over the past year have really hurt Motorola. When he realized that no matter how it does it, Motorola had to recognize a reality: Compared with product power, Motorola was less than Lianchuang Technology; compared with marketing, Motorola was less than Lianchuang Technology; compared with means, Motorola was still less than Lianchuang Technology.
After realizing that no matter how you do, you can't let Lianchuang Technology go, reaching a settlement with Lianchuang Technology seems to have become Motorola's only choice.
Under such helplessness, the possibility of interviewing Lin Zheng in person and seeking reconciliation became Edward Jander's only way to lead Motorola out of the quagmire.
Lin Zheng doesn't spend much time in the United States. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. After breakfast the day after tomorrow, he will take a private plane back to China, leaving Edward. Zhan De's time is only one hour this afternoon.
The meeting between the two parties was in a cafe near Tanna's manor. Motorola was Motorola after all. Although its market share in the world continued to decline, in the United States, it was still a lean camel bigger than a horse, and she was rich and powerful and directly wrapped up the entire cafe.
When Lin Zheng and Lang Xuan arrived together, Zhan De was already waiting at the door. Looking at Lin Zheng, Zhan De's eyes were a little complicated: "Lin, we have a meeting."
"Yes, we're meeting again," Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, looked at Lang Xuan gently, and then said to Zhan De: "Mr. Zhan De, we don't have much time, let's start now."
Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng was so direct. Edward Zhande couldn't help but suffocate and nodded: "Ok, two, please."
The three of them sat down separately, Lin Zheng looked at Edward Zhande and asked fiercely: "Mr. Zhande, what you mean by this trip is to hope that Lianchuang Technology will stop deliberately hostile to Motorola from now on, right?"
“Yes, Motorola thinks…”
"Very good," Lin Zheng interrupted Zhan De without hesitation and asked again: "So, what price is Motorola willing to pay?"
Edward Zhande, who had not been so aggressive for a long time, was suddenly forced by Lin Zheng, which made him very uncomfortable and felt very unhappy. But looking at the smiling face in front of him, Edward Zhande suddenly shuddered! He suddenly woke up: Maybe this is this guy's plan, and use this method to drive him away, so that this negotiation can naturally end.
No!
This result is something Edward Jander could not accept. If the first negotiation with Lin Zheng ended in such a tragic failure, it would not take long for Motorola's chairman and CEO to be able to change another person. He couldn't bear to leave this position. More importantly, Edward Jander regarded this position as a new position in his career. He could lead Sun to the previous height, and now he could also lead Motorola out of the low point.
Edward Jand, who calmed down, regained his usual true nature and gently kicked the ball back: "So, what do you want?"
