Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

In the turbulent era of early 2000, when Internet companies were bursting like bubbles, Huawei was also in an unprecedented severe crisis. They had bet all their efforts on CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology, but unfortunately missed the potential of PHS; to make matters worse, Li Yinan, the successor who was highly expected, chose to leave Huawei and set up his own business.

During this period, Mr. Ren Zhengfei not only experienced the torture of two cancer surgeries, but also suffered a heavy blow from his mother's departure. He was exhausted physically and mentally and unfortunately suffered from depression.

Later, when Mr. Ren was interviewed, he couldn't help but sigh when talking about this past event: "The whole six months seemed like an endless nightmare. Whenever I woke up from a dream, tears would always flow down involuntarily."

However, in such a difficult predicament, Huawei resolutely embarked on the road of acquisition negotiations with Motorola. You know, the person in charge of Motorola at that time was the famous Zafirovsky.

He has been in the telecommunications field for decades, with rich experience and unique vision, and he knows the true value of Huawei. After all, Huawei is good at the core network part that is crucial to telecom operators, and this is exactly Motorola's weak link. That's why Zafirovsky spared no effort to promote the smooth progress of the acquisition negotiations.

After a long and arduous year and a half of repeated tugs and confrontations, the clock finally pointed to the decisive moment in December 2003. During this period, countless intense discussions, weighing the pros and cons, and difficult negotiations filled every corner. However, at this moment, everything was settled-Motorola will implement a comprehensive acquisition of Huawei for a staggering $7.5 billion!

That day, the sun was shining and the sea breeze was blowing, as if cheering for this historic transaction. Representatives of both parties gathered at the picturesque Hainan Yalong Bay Sheraton Hotel and solemnly signed the acquisition contract that carried countless expectations and dreams. At that moment, the whole scene was solemn, but it also revealed a hint of irrepressible excitement.

As all the cumbersome and complicated procedures were completed one by one, the boulder in everyone's heart finally fell a little. The next thing to do is to quietly wait for the final approval of Motorola's board of directors.

So, the people involved in the negotiations put down their burdens and began to enjoy this rare relaxing time. They strolled on the beach around the hotel, picking colorful floral clothes, preparing to use a unique celebration to welcome the upcoming victory.

It's a pity that this deal is doomed to fail. Seeing that Mr. Ren was thinking, Lin Hao stated his purpose.

"Although Motorola doesn't want to acquire Huawei, I am willing to acquire Huawei for 10 billion US dollars, and I am willing to keep 10% of the shares for the management team. These shares will be distributed by Mr. Ren. Huawei will still be managed by Mr. Ren in the future. I will not directly interfere in the company's affairs."

Lin Hao looked at Mr. Ren with a serious expression. Mr. Ren opposite was shocked by Lin Hao again. He looked up at Lin Hao in disbelief. He really didn't expect that the young man opposite was so ambitious. It can't be said to be ambition, but courage.

The amount of 7.5 billion US dollars with Motorola is already a sky-high price. Lin Hao is willing to give 10 billion US dollars. He investigated Lin Hao and knew that Lin Hao was rich, very rich, and the official investment agreement was 160 billion US dollars.

But now few people can calm down to do scientific research. There are too many people who make quick money. Huawei is his hard work. He doesn't know if selling Huawei to Lin Hao will ruin Huawei.

"I need to discuss this matter with the company's senior management. I wonder if Mr. Lin can wait a few days before giving you an answer." Mr. Ren said.

"Of course, this is what I should do."

After that, Lin Hao stopped talking and began to concentrate on eating. The food in Huawei's factory was okay, at least not bad, with meat, vegetables and soup.

In the afternoon, in the meeting room of Huawei, almost all the senior management of Huawei arrived.

After this period of time at noon, Huawei has learned about some of the situation on the Motorola side through relevant channels. Although it is not as clear as Lin Hao's understanding, the results inferred from some clues are similar to what Lin Hao said.

In this case, Huawei must have the right strategy internally, and it is also necessary to discuss Lin Hao's acquisition of Huawei. Lin Hao and other people from Haohan Technology are outsiders, so they naturally cannot participate in other people's internal meetings.

After the tour, Lin Hao took his people away and was on the way back."What do you think of Huawei's technology?" Lin Hao asked Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong.

"It's very impressive. If I hadn't visited today, I wouldn't have known there were such impressive technology companies in China." Hu Zhengming said.

"Although Huawei's communication technology is still a certain distance away from the West, it has a solid foundation and solid technology. As long as it continues to invest in research and development, it will surpass the West in the near future." Liang Mengsong also said.

The two had worked in Taiwan before and were not very familiar with the situation in China. After visiting Huawei today, they were really shocked. Huawei has made major breakthroughs in many technologies. They didn't expect that there are still companies with such strong technical strength in China.

After hearing what the two said, Lin Hao valued Huawei even more. It seems that if there is a chance, he still has to acquire Huawei. If he can't acquire it, he has to cooperate. Lin Hao wants to develop mobile phones, and communication is also very important.

"What if Huawei is acquired?" Lin Hao said to the two.

After hearing Lin Hao's words, the two were a little shocked and speechless. It was really rich and willful, and they would make acquisitions at any time. However, Lin Hao's words still made the two excited. If Huawei could really be acquired, then the strength of Haohan Technology would be greatly enhanced.

"It would be great if Huawei could be acquired, but would Huawei buy it?" Liang Mengsong asked.

"You can try." Lin Hao said with a smile.

.....

Lin Hao was not sure about the acquisition of Huawei. Although he offered a sky-high price of 10 billion US dollars and reserved 10% of the shares for Mr. Ren and other management, Lin Hao still had no idea. In the original history, after Motorola stopped acquiring it, Huawei did not look for a new buyer. After internal discussions, it decided not to sell it and develop itself.

Although Lin Hao's conditions were good, no one knew the final result. It might be sold or not. He originally planned to return to Huainan tomorrow, but it seems that he has to postpone it and wait for a few more days.
