Six hundred and ninetieth chapters technology is in hand
Time passed slowly. After more than half a month of communication and negotiation, Du Yuemei made a huge breakthrough in the Ericsson Group. This time, the Li Group spent US$500 million to buy out Ericsson Group's mobile communications technology authorization.
This technology can only be used by Heung Kong Telephone Group, and the technology cannot be transferred to third parties without the permission of Ericsson Group.
Ericsson Group President Roy Smith originally hoped to sell one piece of technology twice, but unfortunately Du Yuemei did not give him such an opportunity.
Du Yuemei would not be stupid enough to ask the group to buy technology twice. This time, after Xiangjiang Telephone Group obtains the technology, it will cooperate with British Telecom Group to establish a subsidiary. Xiangjiang Telephone Group will provide the technology and occupy part of the shares in the company. This will also
It will not violate their agreement with Ericsson Group.
Relatively speaking, the price of acquiring these technologies for US$500 million is relatively expensive. However, Li Guangyu asked her to buy out the technologies as much as possible. After these days of negotiations, she could only negotiate this price.
Fortunately, what is beneficial to the Li Group is that after buying out the one-time technology license for Ericsson's mobile communications technology, she put a lot of pressure on Nokia.
After the Lee Consortium mastered mobile communication technology, mobile phone technology became much easier. Nokia knew very well that even if they did not license the technology to the Lee Consortium, they would soon be able to develop their own mobile phones.
In this industry, the most important thing is mobile communication technology. Without this thing, mobile phones will have no use.
The Li Group has semiconductor companies under its umbrella, which have strong capabilities in both panels and chips. Even if they cannot buy some of the unique technologies of mobile phones, there will be other research institutions willing to use them.
Sell technology to them.
Look at the Ericsson Group. Regarding mobile communication technology, how much money they have spent from research to now. According to his estimate, it will definitely not exceed one billion US dollars. And this time just licensing it to the Li Group will allow them to
Half of the research cost was recovered.
After learning about the news from the Ericsson Group, Logia President Dornovich immediately convened a high-level meeting of the group to discuss the matter of He Jin coming to discuss mobile phone technology licensing.
This time they also hope to follow the example of Ericsson Group and grant a one-time authorization to Xiangjiang Telephone Group, hoping to withdraw a large amount of funds.
Dornovich doesn't know what the future holds for the mobile phone industry. At least in the short term, it will take a long time for them to make back their money by relying on the dedicated air fees for each mobile phone.
It is better to learn from the Ericsson Group and license the current technology to the Li Group at one time, so that the funds withdrawn can also be invested in subsequent research.
In the afternoon, Dornovich met with He Jin in the office.
After sitting down, He Jin said: "Mr. Norwich, I wonder how your company's discussions are going?"
"Ms. He, we at Nokia are very willing to deepen our friendship with the Li Group. After discussions with the senior management, we are willing to communicate with you about the licensing of mobile phone technology."
After He Jin heard this, she was still very happy. She had been here for half a month and had not made much progress in technology transfer. This time she finally saw some hope.
"We at Heungkong Telephone Group are very sincere and I believe our cooperation will be mutually beneficial and win-win."
In the ensuing price negotiation, the two sides had great differences. Lukia was obviously preparing to slaughter the fat sheep of the Li family consortium, and immediately quoted a price of 300 million US dollars.
How could He Jin agree to Dornovich's high technology licensing fees? If Li Sheng hadn't needed the group's mobile phones to be launched on the market earlier than Motorola, she wouldn't have wanted to continue negotiating with Dornovich.
How can mobile phone technology be compared with mobile communication technology? The licensing fees they get there are only US$500 million, but Nokia actually dares to ask for a licensing fee of US$300 million.
He Jin said: "Mr. Norwich, it seems that your group does not seem to have any sincerity. If this is the case, I can only say goodbye."
Dornovich said: "Ms. He, there is an old saying in your area that you have to wait until the price is high to pay back the money. We can slowly discuss the specific price. Our group still hopes to reach a cooperation agreement with you."
In the following days, He Jin argued with Dornovic every day at Nokia headquarters about licensing fees. At the same time, Xiangjiang was also in further communication with Motorola to put pressure on the Nokia Group and let them increase the price.
Make some concessions.
Seeing that 1982 was coming to an end, He Jin finally reached a technology licensing agreement with Nokia Group on December 28. Xiangjiang Electric Group bought out Nokia's mobile phone technology license in one go for US$8,000,000.
After signing the contract that afternoon, He Jin said: "Mr. Norwich, I am very happy to reach this cooperation with your group. I believe that your group will also benefit a lot in the future."
This time, the Heungkong Telephone Group also promised to help Nokia mobile phones enter the Hong Kong market in the future, which allowed them to reach this cooperation.
The next morning, as soon as Li Guangyu arrived at the office, Gan Qin reported the good news to Li Guangyu.
Li Guangyu is also very happy. After reaching a cooperation with Nokia this time, he really has the capital to enter the mobile phone market.
Li Guangyu said: "Inform Zhao Qihui and ask him to step up the recruitment of mobile phone department personnel, especially mobile phone research personnel. We must make more reserves, and at the same time ask Wheelock Construction Company to speed up the recruitment of mobile phone factories and mobile phone factories in Tianshuiwei Industrial Park.
The construction work of the research department.”
After Gan Qin left, Li Guangyu made a special call to the Governor's Mansion. Now he needed to communicate with Youde about the construction of the signal base station. Without this, the mobile phone would be just a toy.
This negotiation went very smoothly. At present, the economy in Xiangjiang is weak. At this time, the Li Group has once again increased its investment in Xiangjiang. This is very good for the current situation in Xiangjiang. How can Youde object?
When Li Guangyu left, Youde said: "Mr. Li, you also hold 50% of the shares in British Telecom Group. I wonder what your plans are there?"
Youde also knows that the domestic economy has not been doing well in recent years. If Li Guangyu can also build base stations there, it will also have a huge boost to the current economy of England.
Li Guangyu said: "We plan to pilot it in Xiangjiang now. If we achieve good results here, we will invest and build in England."
Li Guangyu doesn't want to spread his stall too big at once. Xiangjiang is a small place. After accumulating mature experience here, he will promote it to England, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places. Xiangjiang Telephone Group is also expanding to these areas.
.
Youde said: "Mr. Li, I think you also know that the market in England is much larger than that in Xiangjiang. If you invest there, it will be more conducive to recovering your costs. I believe that our government very much welcomes you to go there."
While investing.”
Youde still didn't want to give up just like that. The Li Group had abundant funds, enough to support the simultaneous construction of both places.
Li Guangyu did not agree with Youde's opinion, but just excused the fact that the technology was not yet perfect and would wait until later.
