The 221st chapter is destined to shine wcdma
While busy, the information from William's private consulting company was collected continuously.
The contact with TWITTER ended in failure as expected. Their founder, Evan Williams, the technology pioneer of blogging, directly rejected Xiao Qi’s offer of 60% worth of US$200 million without even looking at it.
.
This technology geek never thought about selling TWITTER to others or planning an IPO to make money before it reached its most mature stage.
The young man who sighed could only regretfully give up the fantasy of getting a piece of the pie on TWITTER for the time being.
During this period, Xiao Qi was naturally thinking darkly, no wonder FACEBOOK has become a large company worth tens of billions of dollars, while the market valuation of your TWITTER in 2012 is only 800 million to 1 billion dollars. This is the gap in realm!
If you really replace me and I operate it for you, will the market value of tens of billions of dollars still be just a fantasy?
All right.
Yi.yin can only be classified as Yi.yin.
After complaining and regretting for a while, Xiao Qi could only turn to reality.
By combining it with his own memory, Xiao Qi selected a company called Nortel Networks among the many companies to choose from, and prepared to enter into the overall acquisition related to the WCDMA department.
Formally speaking, the overall acquisition of Nortel Networks' WCDMA division is no different from the previous acquisition of ADI's wireless communication chip division. However, WCDMA involves the technical architecture of future 3G communications and is more widely used. Second, ADI
The chip is relatively more targeted.
Before coming to the United States, Xiao Qi wanted to obtain ADI's wireless communication chip department and obtain as many Texas Instruments patents as possible. Both of these were established goals.
Nortel Networks' WCDMA division is not.
It was the acquisition plan that was finally finalized temporarily after the solemn recommendation of William's private consulting company and Xiao Qi's understanding of WCDMA.
Although it is temporary, it is not rushed. Xiao Qi is now able to memorize Nortel Networks information by heart.
This company that launched the "optical fiber revolution" is the industry's first in optical fiber data transmission.
Basically, as great an effect as Cisco's "router revolution" has had, Nortel Networks has also had as great an effect.
However, Nortel Networks and Cisco also suffered the same fate.
Because after the success of optical fiber transmission, Nortel Networks, which was expanding rapidly, suffered an extremely heavy blow during the bursting of the Internet bubble at the beginning of the century. Not only could goods not be sold, but Dentsu operators also stopped buying products.
What's even more pitiful is that the orders they originally received actually suffered a total loss of four billion US dollars due to the collapse of those Internet companies.
Needless to say, during Nortel Networks' aggressive expansion, the Internet companies it acquired almost completely destroyed Nortel Networks' cash flow and assets.
In the past two years, the scandal of Nortel Networks' false profits was revealed, which further exacerbated the collapse of Nortel Networks.
In the stock market performance in recent days, Nortel Networks' market value has dropped from its peak of 267 billion U.S. dollars to around 15 billion U.S. dollars, a shrinkage of more than 94%. It is simply a tragedy.
tragedy in.
Now, Nortel Networks, which is stuck in the quagmire, is no longer the huge company it once was. In order to strive for asset restructuring, they are constantly selling off their subsidiaries, and even some non-core departments have the intention to sell.
To be able to become a leader in optical fiber networks, Nortel Networks has a lot of rubbish subsidiaries, but it still has a lot of good things in its hands.
The WCDMA department that Xiao Qi is interested in is a technical architecture that will show its talents in the 3G network era in the future.
WCDMA is a technical standard established by Ericsson, Nortel Networks, Nokia, Motorola, etc. to bypass Qualcomm's CDMA.
When 3G networks develop rapidly in the future, these companies will use their influence to build 90% of the world's 3G networks into WCDMA, making it the most standard and popular in the future, thus controlling almost all the 3G networks in the world.
All 3G networks.
If all smart phones and smart tablets want to develop, they must use the WCDMA network and pay patent fees!
This is also an important reason why after Ericsson sold its mobile phone business to Sony, it has been earning a lot of money and making money is enjoyable!
After receiving the benefits of WCDMA patents, several major companies joined forces to further develop and improve the WCDMA network, making it more internationally integrated, with outstanding roaming capabilities, powerful functions, and mature and stable technology.
, deeply loved by all users.
Therefore, WCDMA, which will be so prominent in the future, will definitely hold up a big sky in China.
Xiao Qi bought Nortel Networks just to get authorization to build and use the WCDMA network. This is just a right to enter, but this right to enter is already very rare.
If we miss these few years, when Chinese companies come to buy it in the future, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and everything will be controlled by others.
Although after buying Nortel Networks, you still have to pay the patent fees to several other major companies, but you will never be choked by others, and you will not be halfway used and suddenly stopped by others, and then start again.
It’s a disgusting scenario to sell you more expensive and impractical equipment.
In addition, if possible, Xiao Qi also hopes to buy the patent authorization for Nortel Networks' optical fiber transmission equipment, at least to have a patent authorization in China. This will help increase the transmission speed of the entire network and promote the development of smartphones.
, that is a huge weapon.
It is obviously impossible to directly buy these patents, because no matter how embarrassed Nortel Network is, these things are still their treasures.
It is already an extremely powerful business operation to be able to hold patent licenses in the Greater China region before they even discovered that they can rely on these patents to make huge profits in China.
People should not be too greedy.
Because this negotiation is for Nortel Networks, it is much more complicated than the investment negotiation with Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, and the negotiation cannot be completed in a short time, so Xiao Qi entrusted the negotiation and acquisition tasks to Citigroup
Banks, let them with rich acquisition experience fulfill their own requirements.
By the way, after changing the contact information at the US Patent and Trademark Office and handing it over to Mario Law Firm, the time for Xiao Qi to fly to South Korea and Japan is getting closer and closer. (To be continued. Please search for Piao Tian Literature and novel updates.
