Silicon Valley

The 230th chapter actually plays the check and balance

Psion is an unknown company. If it wants to get the attention and favor of mobile phone manufacturers, it will undoubtedly use Henry's fame to hype itself, and the effect will be the best!

And for Henry, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

The positive side is that after the Saipan system becomes famous, the number of mobile phone manufacturers using the system will inevitably increase, so it will be able to get the support of more third-party software companies. However, at present, there is no need for any third-party software at all, the technology and hardware have not kept up, and the mobile phone cannot run too many programs!

As for the bad side, it should be said that Henry's chance to make a fortune in silence is gone...

However, David Porter and others held a press conference without notifying Henry. The next day, they announced to the outside media, "Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, is very interested in our Psion company and has made a large amount of financing for Psion company. At present, Henry Williams' shareholding ratio has reached 30%. Psion's largest individual shareholder!!!"

Psion is not a big company, so what's the point of holding a press conference. The reporters were going to deal with it and left. Who would have thought to hear such news!

The reporters took pictures and asked, "Oh, Mr. David Porter, that sounds a little surprising! With all due respect, Psion doesn't seem to be famous before, and I can't figure out why Mr. Henry Williams would invest in you. Company? Mr. David Potter, are you kidding me?"

"This reporter, first of all, I must solemnly remind you, how can we joke about this kind of thing?! Although Psion is not famous, it does not mean that our company's products and technologies are not good! Henry Williams Since Mr. Si is willing to invest in us, it must be because of the merits of our company!!!" When David Porter heard the reporter's words, he didn't feel indignant, and then his tone was a bit aggressive, and he said loudly to the reporter, "In addition, we are financing. The agreement has been signed, if you still don’t believe it. You can ask Mr. Henry Williams yourself!!!”

"Since Mr. Henry Williams has invested in Psion, can Mr. David Porter reveal how much money Mr. Henry Williams invested?"

"I'm sorry. This is a trade secret and will not be disclosed!!!" David Porter said lightly.

After answering the reporter's question, David Porter began to talk about the company's product - Saipan system!

"In addition, the company responded to Henry Williams' request. Psion changed its name to Saipan, and the mobile phone system launched by the company was also called Saipan. This system..." David Porter began to introduce in detail The advantages of Saipan system, about half an hour, the press conference is over!

The next day, the headlines of the British newspapers read: "The world's richest man Henry Williams invests in British Psion. Very optimistic about the company's mobile phone system. Become the company's largest shareholder!!!"

In the light of Henry Williams, British TV stations reported on Psion one after another, and the host introduced: "Psion was established in 1980 and is a company specializing in mobile phone system development. , Psion has changed its name to Saipan. According to David Porter, CEO and co-founder of Saipan, the company's name change was requested by Henry Williams, which to some extent reflects Henry Williams Mr. Moss is very optimistic about the development of the company!!!"

After newspapers and TV broadcasts. The first is that the British mobile phone manufacturers have sent people to understand the situation of Saipan, especially the Saipan system they developed! For a time, the building of the Saipan company was overcrowded!

It didn't take long for the news to spread all over the world!

The industry is very concerned about it!

Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other companies heard Henry's layout of the mobile phone system, and couldn't help but move in their hearts!

Henry's investment vision is well-known in the world, but every company he invests in has to be analyzed by everyone, so why did he invest in this company. What the hell is wrong with this company? ! In the United States, almost all business courses in colleges and universities have a course devoted to Henry's investments, and why his investments are always successful and profitable! ! !

West German Publishing House once edited a book titled "Those Stories of Investment Genius Henry Williams". However, once the book was released, the sales were so hot that it was even in short supply!

According to incomplete statistics, more than 90% of MBA students have read this book! ! !

Henry has become a beacon in the investment world, sparkling and eye-catching!

When a beam of light hits a certain place, everyone will turn their eyes there! ! !

Finland, Nokia CEO said solemnly: "Send someone to the UK immediately!!!"

In the US, Motorola ceo also said as Nokia ceo said: "Send someone to the UK immediately!!!"

...

A week later, the world's mobile phone giants have come to Saipan company! ! !

David Porter and others were amazed, they couldn't believe that Henry Williams' signboard was so easy to use! ! !

David Porter highly recommended the Saipan system. In order to win over mobile phone manufacturers and dilute Henry's shares, David Porter's company management decided to invite Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other companies to raise funds! In the process of talking with them, David Porter made this invitation very vaguely.

He said: "At present, although Mr. Henry Williams has raised a lot of funds for our company, the cost of technology research and development is huge! If it can attract more strategic partners, it would be great!!!"

"Mr. David Porter, I think Nokia would be a good strategic partner!!"

Nokia was the first to make a statement, and then Motorola, Samsung, and Ericsson also agreed one after another! ! !

David Potter was overjoyed when he saw this.

Henry Williams holds 30% of the shares, which has always made him uneasy as the founder. He is very worried that one day Henry will win over other shareholders, use up his rights, or even drive him out of the company! If you can win over a few mobile phone manufacturers, it will be much safer. According to his analysis, Henry Williams is likely to create a mobile phone company himself, which will inevitably compete with other mobile phone manufacturers. Then, you can rely on the support of other mobile phone manufacturers to control the company!

The press conference did not tell Henry Williams, and he barely said it, but for such a big company financing, David Porter must notify him in advance!

Soon, the call came to Henry!

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm David Potter!"

"What's the matter!" In fact, at this moment, Henry has already learned about the situation through the intelligence personnel on the British side. David Porter called, just to inform himself that the company will invite four new shareholders to join!

Although Henry knew for a long time that this would happen sooner or later, he was still a little annoyed!

Previously, they used Henry's fame to hype. If a notification was heard, Henry would be fine, but the next day without a sound, a press conference was held to hype. This is what people think! Henry is very upset with Saipan's management team and board of directors.

Now, they are non-stop inviting new shareholders to come in to compete, and it has only been a few days since they raised their own funds! ! !

"That's it, we are going to invite four mobile phone manufacturers to take shares and become directors of the company!"

"OK, no problem!"

The shares do not account for the majority, and it is useless for Henry to refuse. Although it is very uncomfortable, inviting the other four mobile phone manufacturers to join in can speed up the development of the system. Anyway, I can get a free system license within five years, whatever they do!

"Uh, I haven't said which four companies are?"

"Needless to say, I know it all!!!"

When David Potter heard this, he couldn't help but stunned for a moment, and there was an inexplicable chill in his heart! ! !
