Silicon Valley
Chapter 231 Palm handheld computer
Saipan Company immediately brought in four new shareholders in less than two weeks. Each of the four invested $2.5 million, raising a total of $10 million, each holding 7.5% of the shares, while Henry's shares were diluted to 2.5 million US dollars. 15%.
Saipan has introduced four mobile phone manufacturers in the world with lightning speed, and even the mobile phone giant Motorola has joined them, which is enough to shock the industry!
At this time, many companies are considering whether to use the Saipan system as their own mobile phone system! ! !
Saipan company started to recruit a large number of employees after obtaining funds at this time.
Saipan company seems to put itself in the position of the best mobile phone system company!
With the support of Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung, Saipan is indeed flourishing and powerful!
At this time, Henry had already disregarded the Saipan Company, and he only needed to drain its residual value and kick it out!
Henry has asked the Silicon Valley Electronics Group to organize people and set up a mobile phone division! Henry has decided to give up the negotiation on Nokia's side. Even so, poaching is essential. Since Nokia refuses to sell the electronics department, it will poach the talents of the electronics department by itself! ! !
To this end, Henry specially ordered people to form a professional team engaged in poaching!
So, as soon as the negotiation with Nokia ended, the poaching operation has already begun!
Although Nokia's electronics department is making money, the entire group is declining, so it is conceivable that the treatment of employees must be bad! In fact, it did, and the man sent to investigate told Henry that Nokia was losing money and that overall wages for its employees had dropped by 10 percent. Even if the treatment in the electronics department is better, it is still far from the first-class treatment in the industry!
Wherever money is, gold and stone are open!
Nobody doesn't like money. The treatment of Nokia's electronics department is not high, and there must be many resentful people! Under the strong money to open the way, employees have changed jobs one by one. There are even group hopping...
Nokia can't dig here, so it will dig Ericsson, Motorola, anyway. The outstanding talents of major manufacturers must go to dig! ! !
Henry cashed out a lot of money from the Soviet Union, and now he has a lot of money!
Silicon Valley Electronics is more and more like Samsung Electronics, everything can be produced by itself, and all accessories in mobile phones can be produced by Silicon Valley Electronics! certainly. Some things are world class. And some are pretty average!
Silicon Valley Electronics is the first in the field of micro hard drives. In the field of lenses, it is close to the world's advanced level. LCD screens, computer hard drives, memory, and power supplies are also doing well. It has strong competitiveness in the low-end market!
Using the Symbian system, it doesn't matter if the hardware configuration is almost the same. Anyway, move it!
When designing a mobile phone, we should first pay attention to the appearance design. This is the first impression left by people. Many people think that the appearance is beautiful, so they decide to buy this mobile phone!
The second is the function, in addition to the regular phone calls, but also to add other functions!
For example, adding a camera, or a built-in mini-game, or a music player, and then an audio and video player...
Cell phones are not just cell phones. It can be defined as something more, it can be a camera, it can be a game console, it can be MP3, MP4…
While Henry was busy building his cell phone division, Jeff Hawkins, the founder of a company called Palm Computing, approached him, wanting to work with Silicon Valley Electronics Group and raise a little money. Henry didn't know the name Jeff Hawkins, but he knew PalmComputing!
PalmComputing company was established in January 1992, the goal is to successfully design a lightweight, convenient and user-friendly pen-style personal computer Palm! It can be said that if Apple's AppleNewton was not designed earlier, then the world's first handheld computer is likely to be the Palm designed and produced by PalmComputing Company! ! !
Although Apple's AppleNewton failed, but PalmComputing's handheld computer Palm succeeded, and finally became the leader in the global handheld computer market! What's cool is that Palm handheld computers use PalmOS, which has always been the overlord on PDAs, and once occupied 90% of the PDA market share! ! ! Although PalmOS is not specifically designed for mobile phones, PalmOS's excellence and support for mobile devices also make it an excellent mobile operating system! ! !
Saipan system is awesome, isn't it? Nostrils are going up to the sky, need to be cured! ! !
Henry didn't think of Palm Computing for a while, but when he was eating Chinese food today, Harrison accidentally mentioned the company, and Henry was shocked! ! !
Seeing Henry's surprise, Harrison said in detail: "It's like this, Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palm Computing, wants to invest in our Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and at the same time help them design and produce a product Palm, a palm-sized product. 's little computer!"
Henry calmed his mind and asked, "What did you answer?"
"I told him to go back first!"
"Rejected?!!" Henry exclaimed in astonishment.
"Well, it's about the same," Harrison said embarrassedly, "but I didn't tell him clearly! Chairman, does this thing have investment potential? Why do I think it's not reliable..."
Henry was speechless, the good thing almost slipped out of his hand! ! !
"Of course there is investment potential," Henry glared at him and said, "Pallet computer, easy to carry, how can the future development trend be unreliable?"
"..." Harrison was scolded by Henry, and he didn't know what to say with a sullen face. He felt that it was useless to get a small laptop after he already had it. It was completely superfluous.
Henry asked at this time, "How did he react after you said that?"
"Uh, a little disappointed!"
Henry rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, you can contact him right away, ask him to come to our company tomorrow, and say we promise to invest!!!"
"Well, okay, then I'll go now!" Harrison stood up immediately, the so-called redemption, naturally he had to be more diligent!
Henry smiled slightly, "What's the hurry, finish the Chinese food first!"
"Oh!" Harrison sat back immediately.
...
"Mr. Harrison, did I hear it right?!! Are you really willing to invest in us?!!!" An extremely excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, Mr. Jeff Hawkins, you heard it right, this is absolutely true! Please arrive at the Silicon Valley Electronics Group headquarters at 9 o'clock tomorrow!" Harrison said.
"Oh, God bless, how lucky! Thank you, Mr. Harrison, I'll be there on time tomorrow!!!"
"Mr. Jeff Hawkins, you don't have to thank me, you should thank Mr. Henry Williams, who decided to invest in your company," Harrison said. "At the time, I only mentioned your company a little, and I am absolutely shocked that Mr. Williams has decided to invest in your company within a minute!!!"
"Oh, God, I can't believe what you said. He really decided to invest in Palm Computing in one minute?!" Jeff Hawkins asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's right, I remember it clearly, it was a minute!!!"
