Four hundred and twentieth chapters look at the wind and move
CBS TV station won the broadcasting rights of the "Victoria's Secret Show" at a sky-high price, which exceeded everyone's expectations and made the concept of "Victoria's Secret Supermodel" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Models also have levels. Only when they step on the stage of Victoria's Secret
The highest level in the modeling industry!
Icnc TV station naturally wanted to win the broadcast rights of Victoria's Secret. However, with the annual broadcast fee of 30 million U.S. dollars, C TV station let it go and raised the price for Victoria's Secret. Who would have thought that CBS would really
There was such a big wave of blood.
Although it failed to win the broadcast rights of the "Victoria's Secret Show", C TV station announced that it had obtained the rights to the Victoria's Secret talent show, reality shows, interviews, etc.
With the public relations between Rick and Victoria's Secret, today all major fashion, entertainment magazines and media in America have begun to praise Victoria's Secret. Anyway, they want to establish Bige as Victoria's Secret!
Victoria's Secret supermodels such as Elsa Benitez have also received a large number of endorsements, advertisements, etc., and a big show has directly made them popular in the fashion industry, and even top fashion brands, Chanel,
The news that designers from Dior and other brands want to start cooperation with Benitez has stirred up the fashion industry.
Not only the fashion industry, but all major mobile phone brands are also studying the P1 commercials released by Alcatel mobile phones.
Personnel from Motorola's headquarters, marketing department, technology, operations department, mobile phone department, network department and other departments gathered together to display P1's commercials frame by frame on a PPT projector.
Looking at the conference room where the discussion had been going on for a long time but still no results had been reached, Motorola President Sandel finally couldn't help but said, "Gentlemen, can anyone tell me whether this Alcatel P1 mobile phone is real?
"
Other mobile phone manufacturers may still wait and see and will not easily follow suit or draw conclusions, but for Motorola, they are a little nervous about Alcatel mobile phones because America has too many precedents, just like computers in the past.
IBM, the arrogant company in the industry, ruined its dynasty just because it underestimated its opponents.
Motorola, which was already in a deadlock, didn't want to go through what IBM had gone through, and Alcatel phones were in the same trough as Motorola, and their home games were in America, so Sandel couldn't help but be careless.
In the past, Carl Icahn, the Wolf of Wall Street, could threaten Sandel. You can imagine what Sandel's situation is now. It seems that Motorola is singing and dancing, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.
Sandel is facing a lot of pressure. Carl Icahn and the Wall Street gang want to increase Motorola's stock price. Motorola's board of directors wants Motorola to get rid of its status as the second best company and surpass Nokia to become the world's largest mobile phone company. In addition,
The Calvin family that founded Motorola is now in its third generation. The current head of the Calvin family, Chris Calvin, is seeking to take over Motorola.
Recently, what worries Sandel is the previous head of the Calvin family. Robert Calvin wanted to implement the "Iridium Project" before retiring. Robert Calvin formulated the "Iridium Project", but it has not yet been implemented.
, Robert Calvin retired, and then this plan fell into the hands of Chris Calvin, the third generation head of the Calvin family.
Today, the "Iridium Project" is no longer a simple plan, but a contest between the Calvin family, Motorola's management, the board of directors and even Wall Street. Motorola's technology department and marketing department are of course unwilling to do so.
To carry out this outrageous plan that is obviously a "trap".
But the Calvin family insisted on implementing it, and even began to regard this plan as proof of the Calvin family's influence in Motorola. Only by implementing this plan can the Calvin family be remembered in history, which is enough to prove that Motorola still belongs to the Calvin family.
From the Wen family!
Whether to support the "Iridium Project", how to deal with Chris Galvin and the Galvin family, and the wrangling between major departments within Motorola left Sandel exhausted.
“If Alcatel Mobile hadn’t tampered with these ads, even if some of the ads were exaggerated, the P1 might have been a mobile phone with quite mature technology!”
A technical director of the technical department cautiously said to Sandel, "This may be a completely new product that is different from the past!"
Finally, the technical director added another sentence. When he heard this, Sandel frowned. He would rather hear that Alcatel Mobile was playing tricks and deceiving people than hearing that it was true.
“It’s hard to say how the market and users will view this phone, but this P1 phone does have some unique features. Its appearance design, materials, etc. are not the most popular, but the functions of this phone work
, all need its mobile phone system, I remember this is the Symbian system acquired by Alcatel Mobile!"
The people in Motorola's marketing department are obviously curious about this phone and want to study it.
At this time, the people in the network department said, "Shouldn't we pay attention to the new network technology used by Alcatel mobile phones? This may be the world's first 2G digital signal mobile phone. America Telecom, Telephone and Telegraph provides network services for Alcatel mobile phones.
The group may promote a new generation of digital communication technology!”
"This is just an advertisement, and even if Alcatel Mobile and America Telecom have implemented digital technology, Motorola's analog signal technology is enough to surpass them!"
The people in the mobile phone department immediately opened fire on the people in the network department, and there was a huge quarrel for a while. Sandel was no stranger to this scene. Since he took office, Motorola's mobile phone department and the network department have been fighting fiercely.
.
In the final analysis, it is still Motorola's mobile phone technology. Who has the final say? The mobile phone department supports analog signal technology and does not want to give up the meat of analog signals, while the network department wants digital communication technology. Both sides are fighting over this.
Blood flow.
Even now, Motorola's network department and mobile phone department have become estranged from each other. Engineers in the network department no longer use mobile phones made by Motorola itself, but use mobile phones of other brands. The relationship between the two parties can be
Just imagine.
Sandel had a headache after listening to these arguments. He slapped the table with his hand and the conference room suddenly became quiet. "So, the Alcatel P1 mobile phone is indeed technically superior to the current Motorola mobile phone, right?"
Looking at the reactions of everyone in the conference room, Sandel had gotten what he wanted, "Motorola needs to develop a new generation of mobile phones!"
Sandel is completely confident about Motorola's technology. He believes that with Motorola's technical reserves, it is not difficult to create a mobile phone with the same technical level and materials as the P1 mobile phone.
"Motorola's new generation, will it use analog signals or digital communications?" People in the network department looked at Sandel expectantly.
Sandel hesitated for a moment. Of course he knew that digital communication was better than analog signals, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Motorola was the overlord in the analog signal era and had a large number of patents and technologies. Just giving up analog signals would mean
Throwing away billions of dollars in revenue every year was not a decision he could make lightly.
"Wait until the development of the new mobile phone is completed before making a decision!" Sandel said and left.
As soon as he sat down after returning to the office, the assistant came in and handed Sandel an invitation letter, "President Sandel, this is Eltian, the president of Alcatel Mobile Phones, sending you an invitation letter to invite you to attend Alcatel Mobile Phones.
Mobile Internet Conference held on mobile phones!”
When he heard this term, Sandel's eyelids jumped. He always had an ominous premonition and felt that this conference was not a good thing.
Holding the gilded invitation letter, Sandel didn't care at all and would not participate in meetings held by second- and third-tier mobile phone brands like Alcatel Mobile Phones before. But now, Sandel did not refuse directly.
"Do you know which companies Alcatel Mobile has invited?" Sandel asked, holding the invitation.
"As far as we know, this time Ertian has invited several major mobile phone manufacturers including us, Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, Sony, etc. Also attending the meeting are Telephone and Telegraph Group, American Telecom, and Alcatel France.
Telecom Group, wait!" the assistant said to Sandel.
Sandor put down the invitation and said, "Tell Eltienne that I will attend on time!"
Before, Sandel wouldn't pay attention to this kind of conference, but that advertisement made Sandel have to pay attention to Alcatel mobile phones. He didn't want Motorola to be like IBM back then, which was suddenly beaten and lost.
Remove armor.
After asking the assistant to go out, Sandel was the only one left in the office. Sandel took out the "Iridium Project" document, hesitated for a while, and signed his name in it!
Sandel doesn't want to fall out with the Calvin family. Even though the Calvin family now controls less than 10% of Motorola's shares, the Calvin family still has an amazing influence on Motorola. Motorola was founded by the Calvin family and brought to the
At this point, as long as the Calvin family has not committed anything outrageous, allowing the head of the Calvin family to take over Motorola is something that the entire Wall Street and even Americans cannot object to.
Unless the "Iridium Project" completely failed and the losses were all over the place, then it is estimated that the Calvin family is not far away from being driven out of Motorola. Thinking of this, Sandel felt inexplicably flustered...
In New Orleans, when Song Yang and Elsa Benitez, who was holding his arm, walked out of the hotel door, the media and reporters who had been waiting outside immediately raised their cameras and started shooting.
"Ms. Benitez, are you dating Bruno Song?"
"Song, is Benitez your new girlfriend?"
"How long have you been dating?"
Today, Song Yang accompanied Benitez to downtown New Orleans and already knew that he would meet these media, so he just walked towards the car under the escort of Ulf and a few security personnel.
"We are just ordinary friends!"
