Chapter 1224: Stifling the Lifeblood of Future Mobile Chip Manufacturers

However, despair is despair, but the losses of Motorola's semiconductor industry are also true.

So as soon as the feeling of despair passed, Mike next to him took the opportunity to come over and whisper a few words, which meant that he should not be swayed by his emotions and try to seize the opportunity to expand his results.

However, Kristoff always felt that Wu Tao's idea was not that simple.

After all, in the capital market, no one is the savior. Behind Wu Tao's olive branch, there is bound to be a greater revenue target.

If you agree rashly, what if you become Motorola's sinner?

During this precarious period of development, the Galvin family, which had always been confident and determined, also lost its original determination.

At least Kristoff needs a reason now.

However, Mike was already ready to make a move. Looking at Huaxia Wu who was talking eloquently across from him, he felt for the first time that this Chinese man's international reputation was indeed well-earned.

Wu Tao continued unhurriedly: "With all due respect, your company sold off its mobile phone business on one hand and divested its loss-making semiconductors on the other. Isn't this clearly letting the semiconductor industry fend for itself?"

"...Of course, maybe you can add a condition that Freescale chips must be used in the acquisition negotiations with Lenovo, but do you expect a new company to intervene in the mobile phone industry halfway to support your semiconductor company?"

Kristoff looked solemn and frowned.

It is not because of these issues that he, as CEO, has not considered them. However, there is no answer. The semiconductor industry is spun off into independent companies and seeking to go public, hoping to use the resources of the stock market to survive and then slowly find new opportunities.

But now, when it comes to Chinese Wu dialect, the meaning is self-explanatory.

If they don't cooperate, Lotus mobile phones and even China's mobile phone products will be in the ARM camp in the future.

By the way, there is also Huaxia Wu’s own semiconductor camp!

So the choice left to you in reality is - no choice, only cooperation.

Christophe had nothing to say.

However, Mike expressed a different opinion with the consent of the other party, "Dear Huaxia Wu, what you said may make sense. But I think that the future low-power chip market may not all be mobile communications. The world, right?"

"...At least now, Freescale chips have been widely used in various handheld smart devices, automotive fields, and aerospace."

"You are right," Wu Tao did not deny it, but his retort was more sharp, "But Mike, judging from the fact that Freescale chips are still losing money, the applications in these fields are not enough to keep you alive."

"...What's more, your company's semiconductor market has a tendency to shift to the Asia-Pacific market and even mainland China, isn't it?"

Mike wiped his face helplessly, feeling speechless.

Obviously, Wu Tao's implication is that even if your company's semiconductor industry can survive in other market areas except the mobile communications market, your eggs are still in my hands.

The Chinese Ci Feng in front of me is really amazing.

Mike drank the coffee that had lost its temperature in one gulp, but he still couldn't hide the anger that was almost erupting from his throat.

In all the negotiations in his career, has he ever experienced such oppression but was unable to refute?

Until Kristoff opened his arms in a slightly exaggerated manner, Meng Lang, who was a bit frustrated, said: "In that case, let's talk as you wish, Mr. Wu..."

It’s been like this for a long time, isn’t it right! The smile on Wu Tao's face suddenly bloomed.

After the cooperation tone was decided, the subsequent substantive negotiations progressed much faster.

The Yuanqi Technology team, led by Xiao Zixia, almost effortlessly captured some of the U.S. state and county markets that were originally reserved for Motorola mobile phones.

At this point, Lotus mobile phones can be openly sold on the counter in every state and city in the United States.

Yuanqi Technology did not even pay a dime for this.

As for the negotiations and negotiations between the chip development team led by Ni Guangnan, progress has been relatively slow.

Probably because Wu Tao wants to extort money from Motorola, all this time lies in his negotiating power.

In the end, the Chip Development Research Institute signed a cooperation project with Freescale Semiconductor with a total investment of US$2 billion at a cost of US$100 million.

The project weight ratio between the two parties is 1:1!

Even so, the two rounds of negotiations only took more than half a day.

All contracts were in place before lunch the next day. Then, Wu Tao and Christopher held a public signing and cooperation ceremony at the New Century Hotel.

Christophe tightened his grip on the pen and felt a little awkward when writing.

Who would have thought that the capital finally earned from Lenovo would be given to Huaxia Wu.

This feeling is like that many years ago, the Chinese people signed an unequal treaty under the powerful ships and cannons of the foreign powers.

As the news of the signing came out, within a few hours, Motorola's stock soared, breaking through the volatility record of several years.

When Kristoff, who was on his way north to the Chinese capital, heard the news, he felt a little comforted, as it didn't seem like such a loss.

After successfully making a small amount of money, Wu Tao was in a good mood.

When I returned to the CEO's office and my butt was still warm, Liu Ruoxi walked in and reported that Miss Li Yinxin was visiting.

When Wu Tao heard this, he knew why this stick girl was here, and immediately waved his hand to say goodbye.

Liu Ruoxi couldn't bear it, but she still gave the instructions over the phone, but her tone was a little more tactful.

After doing all this, Liu Ruoxi bowed and said, "Boss, there's nothing to do. I'll go down first."

After all, there are many things that need to be arranged and implemented by her personally in the future of this cooperation contract with the Chip Development Research Institute.

However, unexpectedly, Wu Tao stopped her and said, "You leave it to Shi Lele to finish the cooperation contract of the Chip Development Research Institute. I have more important things here that I need you to keep an eye on personally."

Liu Ruoxi didn't understand. "The cooperation with Freescale is a major event in the near future. Is there anything else that is more important than this?"

Wu Tao grabbed a foreign language newspaper on the table, pointed to a headline on it and said, "If it hadn't been for Kristoff, I wouldn't have been able to remember it."

Liu Ruoxi glanced at the headlines in the foreign newspapers, which were about Apple withdrawing investment from ARM and preparing to vigorously develop its own music player products.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Immediately, an idea flashed in Liu Ruoxi's mind, "Boss, do you want to acquire or control ARM?"

Wu Tao smiled and said nothing.

But it made Liu Ruoxi even more sure of her guess, "But haven't we already cooperated with Freescale?"

"We have to grasp it with both hands, and we have to be strong with both hands." Wu Tao said with a smile, "All potential mobile chip suppliers in the future must not be missing!"

"...But we don't need to take the lead in this matter. Let President Fujiwara preside over it and implement the meat that the Rothschild family has always wanted to take away..."
