Luo Lina's mouth was wide open. "Really?"
The Americans really don't understand the Chinese's humor!
Fang Tian laughed. "It's just a joke. Our hairdryer is different from the traditional hairdryers. It can moisturize the hair deeply, and the hair will be softer. "
Luo Lina was excited. "This hairdryer is awesome. How did you all invent it?"
Fang Tian coughed. "We have digressed. Soft cloud is focusing on mobile phones now. "
Luo Lina continued to ask. "To Soft cloud, which is more important, the system or the application?"
Fang Tian immediately replied. "System! I am more concerned about the success of the Dream Reality System. I will be working with Motorola next. "
… …
Chicago.
Fang Tian and Li Qiguang alighted from the plane and came to Chicago for only one purpose. To work with Motorola.
The world's first mobile phone was produced in Motorola's laboratory in 1973.
In the 1G era, Motorola was the king.
But in the 2G era, Nokia rose, and this company started to decline.
In the 3G era, the mobile touchscreen era started. This mobile phone brand was abandoned by the rest of the world, and its factory was closed. It was sold to Lenovo.
Actually, Motorola had introduced the world's first touchscreen mobile phone in 2000. But that was not a capacitive screen. It was a resistive screen, and it was not sensitive. It needed to be pressed hard, and it could not be multi-touch. The user experience was not ideal, and Motorola gave up.
Motorola had not entered the smartphone era, and it was declining. The quality was not as good as Nokia, and it was more expensive than Nokia.
Fang Tian intended to buy Motorola, but it would be difficult to achieve. Although Motorola was showing signs of decline from its peak, the company's valuation was still quite high.
Fang Tian stood in the lobby and looked at the receptionist. "Is your CEO around?"
"Mr. Brown is having a meeting upstairs." The receptionist smiled. "Why are you looking for him?"
Fang Tian laughed. "Tell your boss that I want to acquire Motorola!"
The receptionist was shocked for a while, and she laughed. "Sir, are you kidding?"
Fang Tian took out his name card and passed it to her. "Let your CEO take a look."
The receptionist took the business card and handed it to the waiter so that he could pass it to the president.
The receptionist does not believe that Fang Tian has the financial resources to acquire Motorola. Dream on.
Five minutes later, the waiter came downstairs. "Mr. Fang Tian, please follow me upstairs. Mr. Brown wants to see you!"
Then, Fang Tian and Li Qiguang went upstairs.
The receptionist was puzzled. "Who is he? Why does Mr. Brown want to see him? "
The waiter smiled and said, "A dragon from the east. Do you know Skybook? It's from his company! "
The receptionist was shocked. He was the owner of the largest social media site in America.
In the president's office.
President Brown was holding a document in his hand and looking at Motorola's global sales figures. His brows were furrowed.
They were already lagging behind Nokia. If this carried on, they would be eliminated sooner or later.
But in the face of such a strong enemy like Nokia, what could they do to turn the situation around?
"Mr. Brown, I see you didn't sleep well last night." Fang Tian walked in and looked at him with a smile.
Brown put down the document in his hand and stood up with a forced smile. "Mr. Fang Tian, just tell me why you are here."
They were all famous people in the technology industry and were familiar with each other.
Fang Tian and Li Qiguang sat opposite him.
"Very simple. Sell your Motorola mobile phone business to me."
Brown was also very decisive. "It's not impossible to sell it to you. As long as you can afford it, I can sell it to you."
The waiter came over and served a cup of coffee.
Fang Tian: "Say it. How much are you willing to sell it for?"
Brown raised one finger.
Fang Tian: "100 million?"
Brown was a little dizzy. "Mr. Fang Tian, you are so humorous. You want to acquire Motorola for 100 million? It's 10 billion USD! "
Fang Tian almost spat out his coffee. In his previous life, Lenovo only spent 2.9 billion USD to acquire Motorola. You are asking for 10 billion!
Of course, times are different. When Lenovo acquired Motorola, Motorola was on the brink of collapse. But in 2003, Motorola mobile phones were still very influential in the world.
Although Soft cloud has the money, they will not be taken advantage of.
Fang Tian took a sip of his coffee. "Motorola had passed its peak. This price is too high."
Brown tapped his fingers on the table. "Although Motorola is not as popular as before, 10 billion USD is still worth it."
Fang Tian rubbed his chin and thought for a while. His purpose of coming here is not just to acquire Motorola. If he cannot acquire Motorola, he can cooperate.
He changed the topic. "If you are not willing to sell, I think we can cooperate."
"Cooperate?" Brown was puzzled.
Li Qiguang, who was sitting by the side, took out a document from his black briefcase and passed it to Brown.
Brown took the document and looked at it briefly.
Fang Tian said. "I hope to cooperate with you to set up a new company. A company that specializes in smartphones. We will use your company's brand and use my company's operating system. "
To Fang Tian, Motorola's biggest value is not its patents, assets, or sales channels. It is its brand.
With the arrival of touchscreen mobile phones, Motorola's patents are meaningless. Those are all functional technologies.
What Feng Yu wants is its brand. Motorola is very popular around the world, especially in the US. Their fans are very loyal.
Brown thought for a while and said. "Motorola had introduced touchscreen mobile phones in the past, but the sales were very poor. I am not optimistic about it, and I will not cooperate with you to make touchscreen mobile phones. "
Fang Tian shook his head. "It is different. If you have tried my company's touchscreen mobile phones, you will know that this is a revolutionary product. It is a capacitive screen, and it is better than any touchscreen in the past."
Brown had used Never Setting Sun mobile phones before, and it had surprised him.
Brown thought for a while and said. "We can cooperate to set up a company. But I will not invest a single cent. "
Fang Tian laughed. "I don't need you to invest a single cent. I only need the brand. You can give me the rights to Motorola's brand."
The negotiations went smoothly, and Brown agreed to sell the rights to Soft cloud for 20 million USD annually for 5 years. A total of 100 million USD.
Soft cloud owns 100% of the shares of the newly established Motorola smartphone company headquartered in Chicago.
This is all to promote the operating system. With this brand, Motorola can expand rapidly in the US and Europe. 5 years is enough for Motorola to conquer the world!
