,nbsp;

It's November.

At this time, production of "Death Fantasy" finally began.

The people at DreamWorks carefully studied the moves of Royce Royce, Bruce Lee and others, and then began to expand the design based on these moves. A set of 75-minute "fight movies" was released in one go - well, it was more than before.

15 minutes.

Production of "Death Fantasy" has already begun, and the release date will probably be June next year.

But Catherine didn't care about it at this time.

He just finished writing a script for Cheng Long, and now she is in a good mood.

"Hmm... Not bad, it took until this time to declare bankruptcy..."

Seeing the new news, Catherine felt even better.

Good things come in pairs. The development of hard drive technology over there has made a qualitative leap, but here, Motorola's Iridium satellite project has finally gone bankrupt.

"Although I have support from ATET, those who should go bankrupt will still go bankrupt after all~"

Catherine hummed happily.

In recent years, thanks to the Iridium project, Catherine has rarely faced harassment from Motorola and Atet. After the other party experienced its initial glory, it was overwhelmed by this project.

As soon as the Iridium mobile phone was launched on the market, users complained that this thing could only be used in the open air!

After seeing Apple phone users making calls comfortably in the office, Iridium users even have to go to the window to make calls, and sometimes even go outside!

Moreover, the call quality and signal of Iridium mobile phones are far inferior to the current Apple mobile phones. Apple’s big killer has directly killed Iridium satellites.

What? You said Iridium phones can be used worldwide?

Sorry, we can still use Hao Weixing, and it’s more convenient than you!

Mobile phone users are all middle and upper class, and most of them work in offices and negotiate business. They use mobile phones most of the time in cities. At this time, Apple mobile phones have no pressure at all.

Looking at the Iridium mobile phone - we can't abandon the customer just to make a call, then come down from the 11th floor and make a call, right?

It is precisely because of these many inconveniences that the Iridium project has encountered many obstacles.

And now, the other party finally couldn't hold it anymore.

The Iridium project, once worth one billion, is now in negative equity.

"If Atet hadn't been involved, this plan would have been dead a long time ago! It's over!"

Catherine shouted loudly.

"Kate, you don't have any bad thoughts about this Iridium project again, do you?"

Elsa clearly saw what was going on with Catherine's current situation.

"Of course! I want to acquire Iridium!"

Catherine smiled evilly.

"Ahem...Then we have to prepare three to four billion US dollars first..."

Iridium already has a debt of 100 million US dollars. If they really want to acquire it, they will have to replace all the debt they owe, and Elsa estimates that Iridium is quite valuable.

"Three to four billion? No! Twenty million is enough! Even if I have to repay debts, my acquisition plan will not exceed 100 million!"

Historically, Iridium was thrown away for $20 million—and no one took over!

As for now, after the popularity of the Iridium company in the past few years, it is now in a terrible state. It has only suffered for the more than 10,000 Iridium mobile phone users.

"Can they agree?"

Elsa asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, of course."

Catherine has investigated the development of Iridium, and she found that the current Iridium is not much different from the past. At this time, it is a hot potato.

Iridium's management decision-making structure makes effective management simply impossible.

The 28 members of the board of directors speak multiple languages. Each meeting is like attending a small United Nations meeting. Everyone must wear earplugs to listen to simultaneous translation of the languages.

Even though the major shareholders are Motorola and Atet, the total shares of each other are about 20%.

—They also imitated Catherine’s practice of bondage, and ended up tricking a group of people.

After getting the news, Catherine inquired about the other party's partner structure.

As a result, Catherine felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of.

The basic organizational structure of Iridium is a consortium, consisting of five regional "gatemys" around the world.

The so-called "gateway" refers to the signal transmission system on the ground that can send, receive and forward Iridium phone signals.

Each regional "gateway" is responsible for marketing Iridium's telephone numbers and services within the region. Iridium's market operation structure cannot establish an overall sales team, design a complete marketing plan, and establish distribution channels in each region to form a unified

An effective marketing campaign.

Many partners seriously lack experience in the telecommunications industry—for example, the Venezuelan investor is not only engaged in the mobile phone business, but also operates dairy products.

Iridium's operations headquarters cannot put too much pressure on local "gates" because the owners of "gates" are all board members. During the operation process, Iridium's marketing plan has been questioned by regional gates, so it has

It is difficult to expect good cooperation.

They thought they found a partner to bundle with them, which was a good strategy, but they forgot that first of all, their sponsors should be in a strong position. As a result, they only had 208 equity, so their risk was naturally small, but

My voice in the company is definitely smaller.

On the contrary, when Catherine cooperates, she always takes the lead and blocks risks from the front - of course, there is actually no risk.

"Well... by the way, help me find someone who may be more suitable to manage this company... Colusi... well, that's this guy."

"There are many people with that name, Kate."

After realizing that Catherine had no intention of continuing, Elsa couldn't help but complain.

"Really? Well...I just heard this name before...but this guy is probably 44 years old this year."

What Catherine is talking about is Colucci who saved Iridium Corporation.

Catherine didn't know how the Iridium satellites of this era would develop, but in another era, Catherine knew that the first-generation Iridium satellite system of that era could be said to have failed as a result of applying expensive emerging technologies (low-orbit satellites) to the traditional market.

The negative teaching material of Ergui. "Back then"

Motorola and its partners tried to auction these satellites in the bankruptcy court. The price was set at US$1 million, only two thousandths of the original investment. Despite the ultra-low price, no one paid any attention. At that time, almost everyone believed that the satellites were self-destructing.

It is imperative to start.

At this critical moment, Colucci intervened in the deal. First, he tried his best to persuade the U.S. government to allow him to own these satellites. Then he made a good deal and obtained a five-year, $36 million per year contract from the Department of Defense.

, providing unlimited communication services to 20,000 government employees. The US$36 million is almost half of Iridium’s annual operating costs.

Colusi offered $250,000 to creditors such as Motorola to acquire these satellites. After a series of related matters were resolved, Motorola transferred ownership to Colusi and its sponsors at the end of the year and sold Iridium's 66 satellites.

orbiting satellites and 12 on-orbit backup satellites.

"The selling point of the Iridium system is its revolutionary design, which ensures that there is always a satellite above the caller at any time. In contrast, geostationary satellites will be stationary somewhere above the earth. The Iridium system

The satellite orbits 485 kilometers above the earth's surface, completely covering the earth's surface and being in close contact with the earth.

Compared with synchronous satellites, its signal transmission distance is shortened by 98%, thus greatly reducing energy consumption. The reason why our Hao satellite charges a low fee is because we concentrate the signals and then send them to the satellite with high power.

This will save more money, but with the development of the times, Iridium satellite technology will definitely save more money."

Catherine explained to Elsa.

"But the working life of Iridium is only five years, Kate."

Elsa couldn't help but remind Catherine.

"Who knows, and we have the latest satellite technology..."

Well, although this is a bit strange, Catherine does have the latest satellite technology, which is the only one in the world. Cooperation with the federal government has given Catherine a huge advantage.

And Catherine knew that the Iridium satellite that had been designed for five years had been working in the sky for fifteen years!

"Although in the hands of Motorola, this is a money trap, but I think this is our opportunity..."

Catherine narrowed her eyes.

Historically, Colucci wanted to use satellites to transmit data in addition to voice calls. Motorola executives dismissed his idea, claiming that analytical reports showed that "the data business is irrelevant."

However, the ideas of Motorola executives obviously did not keep up with the development of the times. In June 2001, Colusi began to provide Internet connection services with a speed of 2pkbps. A few years later, the Iridium system began to provide text message services, with a maximum number of characters per text message.

(160,000 bytes). The price of Iridium's data-only transceiver dropped from $800 to $250.

As a result, customer groups that need to send text messages from remote areas have emerged, including scientists who track whale migration, utility companies that manage wind power, and shipping companies whose crews have drowning warnings. July 2020 · Iridium

Operating income (income before interest, taxes and depreciation) turned a profit, and exceeded the U.S. dollar level in 2018.

In 2009, Iridium's data business revenue was almost the same as voice business revenue, and I believe this business will earn more in the future.

After all the calculations, in just eight years, this technology started to develop from scratch and the profit exceeded US$11. Catherine believed that at this time, she had more opportunities - because now, there are not even many mobile phones...
