On December 13, Li Guangyu met at the headquarters of Xiangjiang Telephone Group with Bob Galvin, the next generation head of the Motorola family who came to Xiangjiang for inspection. His father, Robert Galvin, is the current chairman of Motorola.
This time, Motorola is very excited that the Li Group is seeking cooperation with them in communications. This mobile phone was developed in their laboratory as early as 1973, but it still cannot be commercialized until now. It all depends on
Ten years later, the investment at that time still showed no returns.
Although their new product has been finalized and is currently applying to the government, it is estimated that it will be officially used in the commercial field within one or two years.
But no one in Motorola's senior management has any idea of what the future performance will be. The arrival of the Li Group has made them full of hope. When the U.S. market has not yet opened, they will undoubtedly be able to increase their business abroad.
Feel very happy.
Although they had heard some information about the Li Group in the past, because they did not have much business dealings, they did not know much about the actual situation of the Li Group. After communicating with the executives of the Xiangjiang Telephone Group, Motorola executives specifically
Information about the Lee Group was collected.
The strength of the Li Group surprised them. Motorola was already a very powerful group in the United States, but compared with the Li Group, they were far behind.
In particular, the cash flow of the Lee Consortium is very scary. In terms of communications, the Xiangjiang area is also monopolized by the Heung Kong Telephone Company of the Lee Consortium. Motorola is very interested in cooperating with the Heung Kong Telephone Group. This is a very good experimental field. As long as
With success here, Motorola's current predicament will be relieved.
Although Bob Galvin already knew from the information that Li Guangyu was very young, looking at Li Guangyu across from him, he was still filled with emotion.
As the approved successor of Motorola, he himself is already an object of envy in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared with this person, he is nothing.
After half a century of development, Motorola's current market value is only around US$5 billion. However, the Galvin family does not wholly own the company, and its family assets are only about US$3.5 billion.
It is still a mystery how much assets the young man opposite has, because he has too many groups and the shares in them are very complicated. No one except their senior financial personnel knows the specific figures.
Just based on the fact that the market value of these groups he has shown up to is already countless times that of Motorola.
It only took the young man in front of me five years to develop such a huge asset. Data show that when he took over the family business, his family assets were only tens of millions of dollars.
Just as many newspapers and magazines commented on him, this man is writing a legend of wealth. His development experience is magical and cannot be copied.
After Bob Galvin entered the office, Li Guangyu stood up and said to him: "Mr. Galvin, welcome to Xiangjiang. I believe you will have a very good harvest in Xiangjiang this time."
Originally, when Bob Galvin came this time, Li Guangyu did not need to pay so much attention. After all, he was not the head of the Galvin family, let alone the chairman of the Motorola Group. He was greeted by the top brass of the Xiangjiang Telephone Group.
Enough.
It’s just that Li Guangyu knew very well how big the mobile phone market would be in the future, so he specially came to Heung Kong Telephone Group to meet him and have some exchanges with him.
Bob Calvin was very happy that Li Guangyu met him in person. He himself also knew how disparate his status was from Li Guangyu. He did not even expect that Li Guangyu would meet with him. This time, he could meet with the president of Xiangjiang Telephone Group.
Direct communication is very good.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Li, being able to meet you is the biggest gain for me this time in Hong Kong. Your legend is spread not only in Hong Kong, but also in the United States. Countless teenagers regard you as their own."
Idols, especially those young entrepreneurs, they hope to be successful in business like you."
Li Guangyu invited Bob Galvin to sit down in the reception area. After asking him what he wanted to drink, he asked Sudan, the general manager of the group's administration department, to ask the staff to bring a pot of tea.
Whether Bob Galvin really liked drinking tea or knew his own habits, since he himself said to drink tea instead of coffee, Li Guangyu naturally followed his instructions.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Galvin, I don't know what you think about cooperation with our group. How long will it take for you to launch commercial use in the United States?"
"Mr. Li, our technology has been very successful after various tests. However, it still needs some time for approval from the government, plus the construction of base stations for mobile phones, so we are not sure when it will be officially sold for commercial use.
, but this time will definitely not pass two years."
Regarding communications, Motorola has no choice. After all, it also involves information security. The government is responsible for supervision and will never let Motorola control it independently.
And they are now using Xiangjiang as a breakthrough to open up the domestic market with foreign markets. They are very aware of the influence of the Li Group in Xiangjiang, and this person also holds 50% of the shares in the British Telecom Group, which is also currently owned by the Li Group.
of people in management.
As long as they reach a cooperation with the Li Group, Motorola will not only open up the Asian market, but also open up the European market.
However, many things in this cooperation still need to be communicated with Heung Kong Electric Group. Currently, Heung Kong Electric Group hopes to buy many of their technologies for this mobile phone so that Heung Kong Telephone Group can produce it alone.
This is obviously unacceptable to Motorola. They have been researching for so many years not just to sell technology once. They hope that Xiangjiang Telephone Group can cooperate with their telecommunications department and let their group business enter Xiangjiang. As for mobile phones, they hope even more
Heungkong Telephone Group serves as their processing base in Asia.
However, this is obviously impossible. In the past two days, he and the top management of Heungkong Telephone Group have been unable to reach an agreement on this issue. During this interview with Li Guangyu, Bob Galvin also hopes to get something from Li Guangyu.
Good news.
Li Guangyu himself would naturally not let Heungkong Telephone Group become a processing base for Motorola. He hoped that it would be best to directly buy out the patents in this area so that Heungkong Telephone Group could use them directly.
At present, the Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park has begun to build a mobile phone laboratory for the Heungkong Telephone Group. In the future, the group will definitely create its own mobile phone brand, and OEM is not what the Heungkong Telephone Group has to do.
Li Guangyu came to meet with Bob Galvin today in the hope that Motorola can make some concessions on this matter so that the two companies can reach some cooperation.
Li Guangyu has already thought about it. After this time, he will ask He Jin to go to Europe in person and contact Qin Yu, chairman and president of British Telecom Group, and they will go to Logia to acquire some of their technologies in this area.
