Age of Dreams

() During the busy schedule, the information of William's private consulting company was continuously collected.

The contact with twitter really ended in failure. Their founder, that is, the technology pioneer of the blog, Evan Williams, didn't even look at Xiao Qi's offer of 60% shares of up to 200 million US dollars, and directly rejected it .

This technology madman never thought of selling to others before Twitter developed to the most mature level, or making money with an IPO plan.

The boy who sighed could only temporarily give up his fantasy of getting a share of the pie on twitter with regret.

During this period, Xiao Qi naturally thought very darkly, no wonder Facebook has become a big company worth tens of billions of dollars, and your Twitter market valuation by 2012 is only 800 million to 1 billion dollars. This is the gap in realm!

If you really change the young master and I will work for you, is the market value of tens of billions of dollars still just a fantasy?

it is good.

Italian yin can only be classified as Italian yin.

After complaining and regretting for a while, Xiao Qi could only switch to reality.

Through the combination with his own memory, Xiao Qi selected a company called Nortel Networks among many companies to choose from, and planned to enter into the overall acquisition of the wcdma department.

In terms of form, the overall acquisition of the wcdma department of Nortel Networks is no different from the previous acquisition of the adi wireless communication chip department, except that wcdma involves the technical architecture of future 3g communications and is used more widely. The chip is relatively more targeted.

Before coming to the United States, Xiao Qi wanted to obtain ADI's wireless communication chip department, as well as obtain Texas Instruments' patents as much as possible, both of which were established goals.

Nortel's wcdma division is not.

It was a temporary finalized acquisition plan after the solemn recommendation of William's private consulting company and Xiao Qi's understanding of wcdma.

Although it is temporary. But not in a hurry, Xiao Qi is now able to memorize the materials of Nortel Networks by heart.

This company that set off the "optical fiber revolution" is the first in the industry in optical fiber data transmission.

Basically, as much effect as Cisco's "router revolution" caused, Nortel Networks also caused too much effect.

However, Nortel Networks and Cisco have shared the same fate.

Because after the success of optical fiber transmission, the Nortel network expanded aggressively. At the bursting stage of the Internet bubble at the beginning of the century, it suffered an extremely heavy blow, not only the goods could not be sold. Dentsu operators have also stopped buying products.

What's even more pitiful is that the orders they had received had actually caused a loss on the entire book to reach a sky-high price of four billion U.S. dollars because of the bankruptcy of those Internet companies.

Needless to say, during the aggressive expansion of Nortel Networks, the Internet companies it acquired almost completely dragged down the cash flow and assets of Nortel Networks.

To the previous two years. The scandal of Nortel Networks false profits was disclosed. It also further exacerbated the collapse of Nortel Networks.

In the stock market performance in recent days, the market value of Nortel Networks has dropped from the peak of 267 billion US dollars to about 15 billion US dollars. It has shrunk by more than 94%, which is simply a tragedy among tragedies.

Now, Nortel Networks, which is in deep trouble, is no longer the super-big company with unlimited glory in the past. In order to fight for asset restructuring, they are constantly selling their subsidiaries and even some non-core departments. There is also an intention to sell.

Can become the leader of the optical fiber network, although Nortel Networks has a lot of garbage companies. But there are still a lot of good things in hand.

The wcdma department Xiao Qi likes is a technical framework that will show its talents in the 3G network era in the future.

Wcdma is a technical standard established by Ericsson, Nortel Networks, Nokia, Motorola, etc. to bypass Qualcomm's cdma.

When the 3g network develops vigorously in the future, these companies will use their influence to build 90% of the world's 3g network into wcdma, which will lead to the highest standard and the most popular in the future, thus controlling the world Almost all 3g networks.

All smart phones and smart tablet computers have to use the wcdma network if they want to develop, and they have to pay patent fees!

This is also an important reason why Ericsson has been earning a lot of money after selling its mobile phone business to Sony, and it is fun to make money!

After receiving the benefits of wcdma patent money, several major companies joined forces to further develop and improve the wcdma network, making it more capable of international integration, outstanding roaming capabilities, powerful functions, mature and stable technology , won the love of all users.

Therefore, wcdma, which will be so prominent in the future, will definitely hold up a large piece of sky in China.

Xiao Qi bought Nortel Networks just to be authorized to build and use the wcdma network. This is just a right to enter the market, but this right to enter the market is already very rare.

If you miss these few years, when a company from Huaguo comes to buy it, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and it will be controlled by people everywhere.

Although after buying Nortel Networks, the patent fees that should be paid to other major companies have to be paid as usual, but you will never be stuck by your neck, let alone half of your use, suddenly stopped by others, and then The disgusting scenario of selling you more expensive and impractical equipment.

In addition, if possible, Xiao Qi also hopes to buy the patent authorization of Nortel Networks' optical fiber transmission equipment, at least to have the patent authorization in China. This will improve the transmission speed of the entire network and promote the development of smart phones. , that is a great weapon.

It is obviously impossible to directly buy these patents, because no matter how difficult Nortel Networks is, these things are their treasures.

It is already an extremely powerful business operation to be able to hold the patent authorization in the Greater China region in their hands before they find out that they can rely on these patents to make huge profits in Huaguo.

People, can't be too greedy.

Because this negotiation is with Nortel Networks, it is much more complicated than the investment negotiations with Bank of Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, and the time cannot be settled in a short while, so Xiao Qi entrusted the task of negotiation and acquisition to Citigroup Banks, let them, who have rich experience in acquisitions, fulfill their own requirements.

By the way, after the United States Patent and Trademark Office changed the contact information and handed over to Mario Law Firm to represent him, the time for Xiao Qi to fly to South Korea and Japan is getting closer and closer.
