Chapter 325 Time Headquarters
Nortel Networks filed for bankruptcy, but it still maintained its operations. Even though it had the 1 billion US dollars of White Tiger Fund last year, it should be 900 million US dollars, and 100 million US dollars were patent maintenance fees. It did not alleviate the bad luck of Nortel Networks' bankruptcy. To be honest, if it weren't for the White Tiger Fund's unintentionality and used many means through various channels, Nortel could actually pay the White Tiger Fund's patent maintenance fees. Now, they have not paid this fee, and they have lost the right to repurchase this batch of patents (in fact, the routine of purchasing patents designed for pig feet is quite nonsense now, and there are many unrealistic things in the middle).
After losing the patent repurchase rights, Nortel still needs to continue to operate and purchase part of the patent usage fee from the patent company established by the White Tiger Fund. In order to keep it confidential, Zhou Shi did not make a big statement, but instead gave them one year of patent usage rights at an extremely preferential price. Then he began to acquire the remaining 3g and 4g patent technologies of Nortel, and some useful assets of Guokr, Spreadtrum, SMIC, and Datang. Although most of the market of Nortel is in Europe and the United States, the domestic part is still quite considerable. Datang Telecom is eyeing the assets of Nortel Networks in China, and the targeted financing of 2 billion soft-mein coins is for the current acquisition. Tianhe Securities acted as the acquisition consultant for this acquisition.
In the context of Nortel Bankruptcy, the time required for such an acquisition cannot be short, and it also involves regulatory departments and bankruptcy courts in various countries. Fortunately, during the financial crisis, the cost of various acquisitions has been reduced a lot, such as legal and accounting expenses, which has actually decreased by 30%, which is mainly reflected in working hours and work efficiency.
The news that the Nortel Patent Change Hands has not spread, and the negotiations of the White Tiger Fund are also in full swing. In fact, the general direction has been determined, mainly price issues, and some temporary discoveries. Li Yinan even flew from China to the United States, openly to acquire Nortel's assets and patents. According to priority, Guokr is first satisfied, followed by Spreadtrum, followed by SMIC, and finally Datang Telecom. While keeping confidentiality, you must also pay attention to time efficiency. If the final agreement is reached before other interested people find out, they will face great risks. Even if all their contracts are legal, all agreements can be torn down with just one sentence of national security.
The difficulties mainly come from patent technical information and patent purchase. Only by buying a patent back is equivalent to buying a gun, which can threaten others; if you only purchase a patent authorization, it is equivalent to purchasing a special shield that can withstand attacks in certain directions. Purchasing patent technical information is to understand the other party's research ideas, so that you can better continue to develop and innovate.
News of the bankruptcy of Nortel Network spread to the entire network. The bankruptcy of another celebrity company under the financial crisis has aggravated the market concerns. On January 20, Aoguanhai will announce his inauguration as the 44th president of the United States. On the surface, it has nothing to do with him. At the end of January, the Davos meeting will be held, but Zhou Shi is not ready to participate, even if he is qualified, he is not ready to participate. On the contrary, Lu He, as a financial giant who made profits during the financial crisis, is also the first financial tycoon in China. He has received great attention. Although he has always kept a low profile, attending these two events is also a responsibility that he cannot refuse. If it weren't for his short-term participation in the United States, Aoguanhai would have wanted Lu He to become his economic adviser. People all over the world are full of curiosity about this low-key money-making and instant transformation, even if the domestic media are the same.
For some reason, everyone was full of tolerance for Lu He's joining the American nationality. Zhou Shi did not send out a naval army, so many people automatically cleaned him. Some people called Lu He unpatriotic, but instead were ridiculed by the public. Everyone's reasons seemed to be very sufficient. If Lu He was a Chinese, would he have the chance to make so much money? At this time, Zhou Shi appeared more as a very lucky person. Many people think that without Zhou Shi's initial help, and after Lu He became rich, Zhou Shi would not have achieved his current achievements.
Datang Telecom was headquartered in Yanjing. In addition to cooperation with China Mobile, Zhou Shi returned to China, the Yanjing Municipal Government agreed in principle to the time company's purchase of that land, but more detailed explanations are needed.
Zhou Shi attended a meeting to the government and made a detailed report.
"My plan for this land is as follows: its main space is for the subsequent development of the company. Time Friends' development speed exceeds that of many domestic Internet companies, and we need more space. Secondly, as a platform, many people start their own businesses through applications and plug-ins, but entrepreneurs face many difficulties. I want to give them more help, not only to help them, but also to help themselves and enrich the ecological environment of Friends. In addition, the promotion of the domestic mobile operating system independently developed by our Time Company requires extremely rich applications, which requires a large number of entrepreneurs to participate. We hope to provide these entrepreneurs with a good working environment. I hope to build this place into a gathering place for entrepreneurs, not only Internet startups that have a relationship with our company.
In addition to good hardware facilities, we will choose some excellent laws, accounting companies provide assistance to the financing of these startups, and cooperate with some venture capital institutions to actively participate in it. Some of these entrepreneurs have good economic conditions and some have poor economic conditions. If there is support from the government, we will also carry out a public welfare innovation: shared space. We will open the entire office environment, and many small companies or individuals can work here. After reaching the limited number of users, we will stop new companies or individuals from working. In addition, if conditions permit, we can subsidize them. Before the financing amount of these startups reaches 500,000, we will provide them with free lawyers and accounting services." Zhou Shi said while answering the government's questions.
The land that Time Company values is the famous Wangjing Soho. Not only is the design style refreshing, but there are many startups that have settled in. Scan the code to be famous all over the country in the future. Wangjing in his previous life was planning to build the Silicon Valley of China. The land area of Wangjing is 115,392 square meters and the planned total construction area is 521,265 square meters. If calculated based on the actual construction area of 360,000 square meters, assuming the construction cost is more than 15,000 per square meter, the cost of Time Headquarters will be at least 5.4 billion soft girl coins. Since you have paid so much money, why not play a big game! Zhou Shi's appearance is to launch the concept of shared space and start a co-working journey around the world.
