Qualcomm persisted in Hong Kong for three days. As a result, the signal was terrible during those three days. It could not be connected at all, or the signal was cut off in the middle of a call.
As a result, Hong Kong naturally did not have any expectations for this CDMA network. Instead, they began to urge Qualcomm to dismantle the base stations. This was because some hotel owners and owners had found that there was a towering thing above their heads. They were very worried that this thing would affect the Feng Shui of their hotel, so they all asked for the removal of this eyesore.
According to the agreement, the experiment was supposed to last for three days. Now that the time was up, the base station should be dismantled.
"Dismantle it!" In the end, Owen Jacob gave the order. These base stations, which took half a month to install, were all dismantled in less than two days. They were then loaded onto planes and transported back to the United States.
The fake security guards also quietly withdrew from the various hotel buildings, as if they had never appeared.
"Brother Jia, I've done everything you asked me to do!" On the phone, Xiang Hua Qiang said with a smile, "But what's in your little black bag? I heard that Director-General Lin's face turned green at that time! "
"It's nothing, just a small signal jammer!" Jia Yapeng said, squinting his eyes.
Owen Jacob never dreamed that his experiment would be a great success. At the same time, Qualcomm also successfully got an order from Hong Kong to set up a brand-new CDMA mobile telecommunications network for Hong Kong.
But this time, Boss Jia used a sinister trick. This guy got 16 signal jammers and let these fake security guards carry the signal jammers around the base stations. At the same time, they turned them on and off from time to time.
Base stations were equipment for receiving and sending signals to the outside world. Once the signal was jammed, these base stations would be useless, even if they were built 20 years later.
Naturally, there would be intermittent communication.
Some people might wonder why Qualcomm didn't send people to investigate.
First of all, Qualcomm did not expect that someone would secretly snipe them in this way. The engineers at the bottom did not carry any equipment to detect signal jammers.
At the same time, because these base stations were newly developed, Qualcomm Group instinctively believed that there was a technical problem with their base stations, which led to the situation where the signal was intermittent.
This was very common in the process of product development. After all, sometimes rockets would explode when they were launched. It was normal for an experiment to fail.
Of course, if Qualcomm was really smart and had doubts, as long as the fake security guard turned off the signal interference source immediately, no problem would be found. Who would have thought that a security guard who seemed to be working seriously and meticulously had a signal jammer in his toolkit?
In short, under Boss Jia's calculations, Qualcomm's experiment was bound to fail.
What made the entire Qualcomm even more desperate was that the reporters who came to the scene for interviews in order to promote the CDMA technology had now all become Qualcomm killers. News articles about the failure of Qualcomm's experiment, coupled with detailed and sarcastic words, quickly spread throughout Hong Kong.
That was not all. Some media within the United States somehow got the news and actually reposted all these articles to the United States.
The reason why Qualcomm chose to conduct the experiment in Hong Kong was that they thought that the emperor was far away. Even if there was a problem, no one in the United States would know the situation.
But this time, Qualcomm miscalculated.
With the news of the failure of the experiment spreading everywhere, the news also said that the CDMA technology was the lifeblood of Qualcomm's research and development. Now that the CDMA technology had failed, the hundreds of millions of dollars that Qualcomm had invested in research and development would all go to waste. All the patents and technologies would become worthless.
When such an article was published, the result was predictable. Qualcomm's stock price began to plummet instantly. It fell by 20% in a day. The stock price that had risen to 600 million US dollars fell directly to 450 million US dollars.
After that, the stock price fell sharply for three consecutive days. It finally fell to about 300 million US dollars, but it was still falling. All the investors in Qualcomm were horrified. It was as if the Qualcomm stock in their hands was no longer money, but a hot yam.
"Mr. Potter, there is a call for you!" At 10 o 'clock one night, when Harry Potter was playing GB, the maid at home suddenly came over and said.
"I'm not answering!" Harry Potter was now the general manager of a fund that was in charge of hundreds of millions of US dollars. He would not answer the phone at night.
"It's a call from the PMD Foundation. They said that they want to talk to you about selling Qualcomm shares!" The maid whispered.
"What!" Harry Potter jumped out of bed directly and was ready to answer the phone.
However, when she walked to the door of the bedroom, she turned back and lay on the bed again. She waved her hand and said, "Go and tell them that I am very tired now and need to rest. If they have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow!"
"Yes!" The maid looked at her master strangely and then went to return the call. As a result, the maid did not expect that there were three or four calls in one night. They were all looking for Harry Potter to sell Qualcomm shares, but Harry Potter did not answer any of them.
The next morning, Harry Potter got up and enjoyed a good breakfast. When he returned to the office, the phone rang crazily again. This time, Harry Potter slowly picked up the phone.
"What, Mr. Adam, are you going to sell the shares to me now?"
"Sorry, now that the shares of Qualcomm have fallen to such an extent, only a fool would buy it at this time!"
"What, are you sure you want to sell it to me at this price? Then don't regret it! "
"Well, I need to report to the board of directors. This matter is not urgent … My dear Mr. Adam, please don't worry. Besides, it's useless for you to worry about me. This matter is decided by the board of directors. I'm just a senior manager! “
"How about we make an appointment to play golf?"
The same conversation continued to play out in Harry Potter's office. The shareholders of Qualcomm who refused to give up on the price before had lowered the price of Qualcomm shares to an unimaginable level. They only wanted to sell the shares in their hands as quickly as possible.
After ignoring these shareholders for a few days, Harry Potter said that the board of directors hoped to buy the shares of Qualcomm at a total market value of no more than 200 million US dollars.
Harry Potter thought that after he offered such a price, the shareholders would still bargain with him.
But he didn't expect that the other party had no intention in this regard at all. They directly said that it was settled and that they would sell the shares in their hands to the America First Foundation.
In the end, Harry Potter successfully bought a total of 38% of the shares of Qualcomm. On the other side, Harry Potter bought a wave of low-priced shares in the stock market and bought another 8% of the shares from the stock market.
In this way, together with the 5% shares that had been bought before, the America First Foundation owned 51% of the shares of Qualcomm.
The total cost was about 150 million US dollars, which was half of the original estimate of 300 million US dollars. The price was only a pure gold Guan Yu worth 4 million Hong Kong dollars, which was about 800,000 US dollars.
It was exactly 51%, which completed the control of Qualcomm. On behalf of the America First Foundation, Harry Potter officially became the chairman of Qualcomm Group and joined the board of directors of Qualcomm Group.
In this way, the most important piece of the puzzle of Boss Jia in the United States was closed.
