Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Chapter 169 Conquering Europe and borrowing money from Mao Xiong again

Zhao Guoqing was very precise and hit Motorola's pain points.

They lack the technology to compete with Europe, not even Qualcomm.

And Motorola's ambitions don't stop there.

They dream of breaking into the European market.

To this end, Motorola has sought to cooperate with Qualcomm to form an alliance.

And Qualcomm has a big appetite. They want to eat alone. If the pie is divided with others, they will naturally eat a lot less.

CITIC gave them another option.

Although in Bill's opinion, it may be a poison.

While Motorola is charging ahead, it is also bringing CITIC into the fertile global market.

However, Zhongxun was willing to open up, including more than 100 patents derived from the Wibit algorithm, as well as more than 70 epoch-making software and hardware patents in software analog signal formats, which made Bill completely shut up.

At the same time, CITIC has also obtained more than 5,000 basic patent authorizations from Motorola in mobile communications.

With these, Zhongxun can continue to optimize the chip.

After all, in order to circumvent these basic patents, they set up many complicated circuits.

No one can tell who takes advantage and who suffers.

The prerequisite for accepting capital injection and opening up patents is whether Motorola can handle these devices.

Chicago, USA, Motorola Headquarters

Sebastian didn't close his mouth when he received the fax from Tommy.

"Great, Tommy has made a great contribution this time."

What originally required two billion U.S. dollars was now spent only 400 million U.S. dollars to obtain CITIC's technology. Sebastian couldn't think of anything better than this.

As for those devices, Sebastian was not thinking about them at all.

People like Goldman Sachs and Lehman will rush to help Motorola solve the problem.

You know, if Motorola's stock price rises by one dollar, their profits will be hundreds of millions of dollars. What if it rises by one hundred dollars?

Yes, they will be crazy, and they will tear apart any obstacle in front of them, even the U.S. Congress, will be torn apart...

Assistant to the President Antonis Vohies said: "President Sebastian, the contract is divided into two parts. Before the equipment arrives, Zhongxun can provide chips to assist us in producing our own miniaturized mobile phones and provide WCDMA technology. After the documents and equipment arrive, they will provide patent authorization letters for technical documents that have been registered before July 1, 1989, or are in the process of being registered!"

Sebastian nodded and said: "I heard that they have registered a patent for the WCDMA technical standard, and they are willing to tell us how to promote WCDMA technology!"

Antonis smiled and said: "They are willing to open up all WCDMA patents unconditionally. Mr. Sebastian, they are just like you. They are not like Qualcomm. For technology to become a global standard, fees should not be used to set up obstacles!"

"They are knowledgeable people. Just like choosing Motorola, short-sighted leaders cannot see it."

Antonis shrugged his shoulders. Sebastian already had a deep resentment towards Qualcomm and would always belittle those people intentionally or unintentionally.

At the board meeting, Sebastian showed off to the sponsor dads what an amazing job their team had done.

"For only $500 million, Motorola has reaped the future!"

"Not only that, we can produce a new generation of mobile phones now."

What made Zhongxun speechless was that Motorola accepted Zhongxun's chip assistance and also made a small request, that is, the chips they bought could only support A network.

"How can Motorola's mobile phone support the network standard of its competitor Ericsson? It can only support network A, and it will always only support network A..."

Well, Comrade Zhao Guoqing tearfully supported Motorola’s appeal. The European market does not need to worry about competition from Motorola.

In this world, only Zhongxun's G1110 mobile phone can support both network A and network B.

An experience store of a European operator.

"That is to say, originally I wanted to buy two mobile phones, supporting the damn network A and network B. Now, I only need one, right?"

"It should be like this. It depends on your local operator, if they are willing to provide you with network A and network B services at the same time!"

"Oh, by the way, if you go to the United States often, you may need this mobile phone more."

Most of Europe is B network, and most of the United States is A network. Every year, tens of millions of people in Europe travel between Europe and the United States. They need to carry an Ericsson mobile phone in their left trouser pocket and a Motorola mobile phone in their right trouser pocket.

And these people are the most powerful group of consumers in the world.

Now, they only need a small G1110 mobile phone.

Well, it’s true, these people are really not price sensitive, they don’t need a cheap mobile phone worth five hundred dollars, they want quality, luxury…

The casing of all aviation equipment is very suitable for their status. The Zhongxun Honor G1110 exclusive model is out of stock in Europe. Thirty thousand mobile phones with aviation aluminum casings were sold out in one month. Together with the mobile phones with plastic casings, they sold out in one month. One hundred thousand units shipped.

With so many stores, demand remains as strong as ever.

Teacher Xiao Zhao is very confident.

Zhao Guoqing said: "It is expected that by the end of this year, Zhongxun will ship one million mobile phones in the European and American markets. The market is very strong, and next year it is expected to ship three million units..."

Mr. Vladimir Caofar, Asia President of Goldman Sachs Bank, sat opposite Zhao Guoqing.

Vladimir said: “Then what can we at Goldman Sachs do for CITIC?”

Zhao Guoqing said straightforwardly: "Loan, ruble loan, Mr. Vladimir, I have 67% of the shares of Zhongxun. How much is it worth? How much can I borrow? Oh, by the way, I only have a five-year loan." For the above, short-term lending is enough..."

"Private loan?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded.

Vladimir looked at Zhao Guoqing. High-quality mortgage loans have the least risk and the profits are very good.

"Goldman Sachs can get the long-term lending line from Mao Xiong's central bank, but the interest rate is not very friendly. Mr. Zhao, maybe you can directly mortgage your shares with us at Goldman Sachs. We at Goldman Sachs can raise more cash than the plan you mentioned."

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "Get a loan from the Mao Xiong Central Bank and then convert it into US dollars. It's that simple. I hope Goldman Sachs can give me a preferential price..."

Vladimir's face became solemn and he said: "Mr. Zhao wants to short the ruble? I need to remind you that although Mao Xiong's economy has been declining, they have energy, they have a strong military and industry, and Mr. Zhao, I Let me remind you that just last week, the United States was considering financial aid to furry bears..."

“Financial aid for furry bears?”

Zhao Guoqing shook his head. The West has painted one pie after another for Mao Xiong, but none of them has been realized. Every time Mao Xiong is fooled, it will decline a little more...

Okay, I believe the pie you painted...

"Mr. Vladimir, I have decided!"

"If the ruble appreciates, your costs will rise several times. Mr. Zhao, do you want to think about it again?"

"Need not!"

Vladimir said: "About two billion rubles. I need the actuary from Goldman Sachs to do the calculation again. Mr. Zhao, I have to remind you that this risk is extremely high. If the ruble doubles in value, you will lose everything." shares..."

Zhao Guoqing nodded and said, "I know the risks, so let's do it..."
