Chapter 1332 It's not only foreigners who can speak loudly)
Although this is indeed very suspicious of being playful, Edward Jander could not admit this anyway. He said helplessly: "Lin, can't you mention some conditions that are not so excessive and can we agree to?"
Since you know that you can't agree to these conditions but still raise them, isn't that funny? Edward Jander feels that he is so wronged.
"The conditions for not letting Motorola make things difficult?" Lin Zheng raised his eyes: "Okay, no problem."
Lin Zheng agreed so happily, Edward Zhande became more and more alert, and looked at Lin Zheng carefully and said, "You said."
"Three conditions," Lin Zheng no longer went around with Edward Jander and raised three fingers: "First, Motorola transferred your technical accumulation on digital cameras to Lianchuang Technology for free."
Speaking of Motorola, it was indeed a mess when it was strong back then. Although their main business was mobile communication products, when Motorola's personal mobile communication technology dominated the world in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when semiconductor technology competed with Intel, Motorola had already entered the field of digital cameras. Kodak, which was very powerful in the field of traditional optical cameras, even asked Motorola for help in technology. This itself was actually a very good and promising market. But I don't know what the chairman of Motorola thought at that time. When Motorola's digital camera was approaching success, he suddenly thought that there was no market for digital tracks, and it was cut off. It was cut off on the eve of its about to succeed... How powerful was Motorola's wind at that time?
However, although it was cut off, these research and developments were not in vain. Motorola has accumulated considerable technology in the field of digital cameras. Although these technologies are now sealed, it is a very valuable asset for Lianchuang Technology, which is developing digital cameras.
The technology related to digital cameras? Edward Zhan De suddenly felt relieved. He really couldn't guarantee it if it was other technology, but if it was related to digital cameras, he could really make the decision now: "It's okay to transfer the technology of digital cameras to Lianchuang Technology, but it's impossible to pay for it."
"..." Lin Zheng looked at him, blinking and not speaking.
"Okay," Edward Jander was defeated by the threat in Lin Zheng's eyes. He said helplessly: "But we can transfer it to you at a discount."
"How to calculate the price of this discount? How many discounts can be considered a discount?" Lin Zheng held this point and kept tight.
"The total price is no more than $10 million." After hesitating, Edward Jander quoted a price.
Lin Zheng almost jumped up when he heard this: "10 million US dollars? How dare you ask for $10 million of these technologies from almost 10 years ago? Why don't you grab them?!"
The digital camera developed by Lianchuang Technology itself has invested approximately this amount so far. Motorola now tells itself that their technologies that have been sealed for about 10 years still dare to ask for a price of $10 million?
Lin Zheng really wanted to pour the coffee directly on his head so that this girl could calm down.
Edward Jander also knew that his asking price was a bit too much, so he smiled embarrassedly and defended: "But Motorola invested a huge amount of money to develop a digital camera..."
"I don't care about those," Lin Zheng waved his hand and interrupted Edward Jand without hesitation: "$500,000. This is the final offer."
"How many?" Edward Jander was stunned for a moment. His reaction was not very intense, but he just doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
"500,000 US dollars," Lin Zheng repeated again, without waiting for Edward Jander to say anything, Lin Zheng said: "If you say 'no', today's talks will end."
"..." Edward Jander's face turned pale, but Lin Zheng's threat still worked: "It's too low, I can't make a decision. But I will take your meaning to the board of directors to discuss," After finally realizing that Lin Zheng's conditions would never make Motorola better, Edward Jander suddenly lost interest in discussing with Lin Zheng: "So what are the second and third conditions?"
"The second condition is that Lianchuang Technology will become Motorola's only partner in the smartphone field from now on. All Motorola's smartphones can only use the Linux system provided by Lianchuang Technology; third, Lianchuang Technology is preparing to upgrade our wafer factory, hoping to obtain Motorola's help in this regard."
Edward Jander didn't even have the courage to complain: In the future, Motorola's smartphones can only use your Lianchuang Technology's Linux system? Want Motorola to help you upgrade your wafer factory? Is this your sincerity?
After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't help it: "But Motorola is already developing its own smartphone operating system."
"I know, I even know that the chest of the smartphone developed by Motorola is also based on the linu system," interrupted Edward Jander, Lin Zheng looked indifferent, "Everything of your Motorola is under my control." He "put himself in his shoes" and thought for Motorola: "Since Lianchuang Technology is willing to provide Motorola with a smartphone operating system at an extremely low price, why does Motorola spend this money in vain? Lianchuang Technology's linu smartphone operating system has been verified by the market. If you Motorola can guarantee that your smartphone and operating system will definitely be recognized by the market?"
Edward Zhande really can't guarantee it. He also admitted that what Lin Zheng said is indeed true. Lianchuang Technology's linu smartphone operating system has indeed been verified by the market, but the problem is, as the former chief operating officer of a company that started with technology, how could Edward Zhande not know that Lin Zheng's seemingly reasonable but actually was the ill-intentioned illusion behind the logic that was irrelevant? What did un start with? Is it a product? No! It is technology; what about Motorola? It also relies on technology. Now Lianchuang Technology told Motorola that you can study the products carefully, and just leave the technical issues in software. Anyone with a little IQ can understand what Lin Zheng's ambition is. If Lin Zheng had not just threatened, Edward Zhande might have just shook his sleeves and left.
As for the third condition, Motorola is even more unlikely to agree. Semiconductor and wafer technology are technologies that the "civilized world" dominated by the United States expressly prohibit the transfer to the Chinese. Except for the technology that the Chinese have already mastered, no technology that the Chinese have not mastered can be transferred to China.
After Lianchuang Technology has mastered all the technologies from wafer production to packaging and testing, the 6-inch wafer technology is the red line for the West to block the semiconductor technology of China. 6-inch and less semiconductor technology can be transferred to Chinese people for a fee. What about 6-inch or more? Sorry, no matter how much money the Chinese give you, you are not allowed to sell this thing to Chinese people.
Americans are so domineering.
But for Motorola, this is not an ordinary headache. This means that Motorola, which provoked the war, cannot reach a settlement with Lianchuang Technology. As long as there is no settlement in one day, the war between Motorola and Lisheng mobile phones will continue. For Motorola, which is now in urgent need of the Chinese market to help him breathe a sigh of relief, this is really a bad news. At this moment, Edward Jander even hated his former former who instigated the US Congress to propose and pass the ban on Chinese mobile phones and personal computers into the United States: Christoph Galvin, former chairman and CEO of Motorola.
But at this time, Lin Zheng's words were not over: "By the way, let's add one more."
Edward Zhande was speechless when he heard this: You clearly said three, and this is the fourth one, but he still had to let Lin Zheng say it and nodded, as if he had agreed that Lin Zheng did not keep his word. The three conditions he had agreed to become a shameless act of four.
Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Can the agreement between Motorola and VIA Electronics be cancelled?"
Edward Zhande's face changed when he heard this. He was about to say something, but Lin Zheng and Lang Xuan both stood up: "Mr. Zhande, as a friend, I want to treat you, I hope you don't delay it for too long. It would be great if I could reply within a week."
This is a threat, Edward Jander was full of bitterness when he heard it: One week! This bastard, is this an ultimatum for himself?
Lin Zheng didn't care what Edward Zhande thought. After saying that, he didn't care what Edward Zhande thought and took Lang Xuan away: If Edward Zhande thought this was an ultimatum...yes, this is indeed an ultimatum.
After getting in the car, Lang Xuan couldn't wait to ask Lin Zheng: "What's going on with VIA Electronics?"
Now Lang Xuan has almost completely given up on the management of Lianchuang Technology. If it weren't for Lin Zheng's persistence, she wouldn't even want to pay for the dividends every year. But now when Lin Zheng talks about VIA Electronics, she couldn't help but become curious.
"Motorola found VIA Electronics and encouraged VIA Electronics to cooperate with Motorola to set us up a trap. Wang Xuehong's woman's IQ was not very good enough, so she was fooled by Motorola. As a result, she bumped into a bag here and looked a little miserable." Lin Zheng explained to Lang Xuan in the simplest way.
"Wang Xuehong?" Lang Xuan frowned.
"What? Do you know her?" Seeing Lang Xuan's expression, Lin Zheng was surprised this time.
"I met him, he came to me some time ago."
Could it be that Lang Xuan and Wang Xuehong have a good personal relationship? This is a bit troublesome, and Lin Zheng has a little headache: "What is your personal relationship with her?"
ps: The third update is here, brothers, the third update on the third day has finally been added to everyone, and I will say sorry to everyone again. (To be continued.)
