Back to 1995

Chapter 276

Just like the traditional French skills after World War II, the white flag was raised without a trace of resistance.

Ertian looked at Chuluk on TV and felt dizzy for a while. The Alcatel mobile phone brand he had worked so hard to sell was just like this?
Even Ertian didn't hear any news at all. He didn't know all this until his subordinates called and saw the TV news.

However, when Chuluk and Alcatel's board of directors sold their mobile phone business for US$8000 million, Ertian still felt his blood pressure go up. 8000 million dollars?

Last year, Alcatel's mobile phone revenue alone was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Although the profit was not high, at least it was more than this price.

But looking at Chuluk on the TV news, facing the media and reporters, he swore there, "This is the decision of Alcatel's board of directors. I believe that in the future, everyone will see the correctness of this decision. Alcatel Group From one victory to another!"

When some media questioned whether the mobile phone business was sold at a low price, Chuluk immediately interrupted the reporter, "Actually, the mobile phone business is not the most important thing for Alcatel Group. This time Alcatel Group sells mobile phones. The business agreement includes several agreements, and we have reached an important cooperation agreement with America Telecom..."

Anyway, Chuluk and Alcatel's board of directors will never admit that selling the mobile phone business is a failure, and still maintain the pride of the French Gallic Rooster. Wave manipulation is the posture of standing at the height of the atmosphere.

Now it depends on how the Alcatel mobile phone brand will perform in the hands of Song Yang. If it fails and goes bankrupt, Chuluk and the Alcatel Group will undoubtedly make a lot of money. On the contrary, if Alcatel can survive , or even live a good life, then whoever sells the Alcatel mobile phone business will be embarrassed...

Watching the news on TV, after Chuluk finished speaking, Ertian finally knew that all this was true. As the president of Alcatel Mobile Communications, he was the last one to know that he and Alcatel The mobile phone was sold together, which is very similar to the fact that during World War II, the Maginot Line was still at war with Germany, and Paris surrendered directly, so I asked if it was a surprise or not.

It's the same thing with the Alcatel mobile phone now. Ertian was still preparing to start a war with Nokia, but in the end, he was sold directly at the price of cabbage.

The most important thing is that Ertian didn't know the new owner at all. After checking for a long time, Ertian found out that the new owner was a young Internet upstart in America.

The wave of the Internet in France has not risen at all, and the few French media reports on Song Yang, except that France Telecom acted as an agent for the Hotmail mailbox, is the picture that is popular all over the world. When double-clicking to get financing, Song Yang The picture of Yang surrounded by a group of models opening champagne, the French media used this photo to insinuate the extravagance and chaos of the Internet industry in America...

Looking at the picture, Ertian took a deep breath for a while before finally confirming that the fate of him, the 28 engineers of Alcatel mobile phones, and the sales channels covering more than [-] regions are all in the hands of Song Yang .

But what makes Ertian uncomfortable is that not only the Alcatel Group sold him, but the new owner doesn't seem to want to see him. After the acquisition, they didn't even make an announcement.

It wasn't until Elthian worked hard to get Alcatel's mobile phone business personnel in America to find the phone number of the Americas Investment Foundation. When they called, they heard the phrase that Song Yang started his trip to Asia and was flying over the Pacific Ocean at the moment. Ertian was completely overwhelmed, and he deeply experienced what it feels like not to be a dog.

Regardless of whether he is welcomed or not, Elthian hastily packed his luggage and prepared to go to America to meet the new owner, wanting to make a good impression on the new owner.

Regarding the sale of Alcatel's mobile phone business at a cabbage price, the media and many people think that Alcatel has lost its head, but the investment industry does not agree with it.

When France Securities opened the next day, Alcatel's stock price almost skyrocketed, which surprised countless people. Investors didn't care whether Alcatel was a prodigal or not. He said that he also got on the express bus of the telecommunications frenzy in America and started to cooperate with Telecom America in telecommunications business.

No matter how you look at it, it is a universal celebration. Under the leadership of Alcatel, French securities rose collectively that day, giving Chuluk a big show, and even some media began to tout that Alcatel Group is going to form a "telecom carrier". "Legend of giants.

Compared with the hustle and bustle caused by Alcatel, Song Yang's investment in PA semiconductor seems a little calm. No matter whether it is the mainstream media in America or the semiconductor industry, there are very few reports.

After all, Song Yang's entry into the mobile phone industry is already shocking enough, and if he wants to work against the Intel camp in semiconductors, this is no longer a question of arrogance, it is simply madness!
Even if they received some rumors, Intel, AMD, IMB, DEC and other semiconductor processor giants didn't think much about it. After all, this is a normal person, and he would never have thought that an Internet player would be in the semiconductor industry. What is the key to throwing money in this industry?
The Internet is not good, as long as you build a website, it’s a bit of a gimmick, and after sending it to NASDAQ, you can make a fortune. As for semiconductors, they have been researched and developed, and they may be outdated processors. A computer manufacturer is willing to use it.

Only on the side of PA Semiconductor, seeing that Song Yang really bought the Alcatel mobile phone brand, Doble Poole, Jim Keller and others finally confirmed that Song Yang is really not here to play in this business, although all this is enough to make people Unbelievable!
On the commercial plane across the Pacific Ocean, it was already quiet at this time. Irene fell asleep on Song Yang's shoulder unknowingly. After the excitement of getting on the plane passed, the rest of Gallo waited Everyone also fell asleep.

Song Yang, who was covered with a blanket, looked at the Alcatel mobile phone file in his hand by the light above his head. After the acquisition was completed, Song Yang did not go to receive the Alcatel mobile phone department immediately, but left it in the air. aside.

Song Yang looked at all the materials of Alcatel mobile phone, and various reports about it. After buying Alcatel mobile phone, Song Yang faced the same problem as other mobile phone manufacturers. How can he fight against giants like Nokia and Motorola? ?
How to fight against Nokia will be a problem that the global mobile phone industry will face in the next ten years. Last year, Nokia officially launched the dynasty model, and its sales reached the top of the world. Motorola was completely pulled down by Nokia.

Song Yang put Nokia behind for the first time. Whether he can wrestle with Nokia is a matter for the future. What is in front of Alcatel's mobile phone is how to solve the problem of declining sales.

After looking through the information for a while, Song Yang couldn't help but frowned. Looking at the mature mobile phone industry chain in the future, the Alcatel mobile phone is a mess now.

What Song Yang is facing now is to continue the situation before Alcatel's mobile phone, and develop slowly without making changes after taking over the market, or to smash it completely and directly reorganize the mobile phone business.

In the case of the former, the risk is much lower. If Alcatel's mobile phone business is not involved, everything will be as usual, and production will be resumed in a month or two.

In the case of the latter, once it is reorganized, it is unknown what kind of thing will be produced, and it may even completely destroy the brand.

After thinking deeply for a long time, Song Yang couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and threw the materials in his hand aside.

Song Yang feels that he still has too high expectations for the mobile phone business, so that he is a little timid. If he still follows Alcatel's previous practices, then what's the point of Song Yang buying it? !

Put it to death and then live, anyway, Song Yang is also a novice in the mobile phone business, and if he wins, he will make a lot of money. Even if the Alcatel mobile phone loses money, at worst, he will shoot his ass and leave. Song Yang can still afford the loss.

For the Alcatel mobile phone brand, Song Yang decided to reorganize, and moved Alcatel's R&D base from France, and established them in America and China respectively. Technically, he accepted Alcatel's original technology, but re-established the design style, Developing new technologies must take risks, but following Nokia, Motorola and other mobile phone butts to eat ashes, sooner or later you will slowly starve to death.

The other is the industrial chain. For Alcatel mobile phones, Song Yang is determined to reshape the industrial chain, and even build its own production lines and parts suppliers. Whether it is Nokia now or Apple in the future, the control of the industrial chain is They are all in command, which allows them to control costs and get more benefits.

On the other hand, Alcatel also has its own industrial chain, but the control of the industrial chain is hard to say. There are even scenes where Alcatel mobile phone parts sold are different in different regions, and the new Alcatel brand, Song Yang would never allow this to happen again.

The plane flew across the Pacific Ocean and flew quickly towards Asia. Originally, Song Yang was planning to fly directly to Yanjing, but Japan SoftBank sent an invitation to Song Yang. Sun Zhengyi wanted to talk to Song Yang about The establishment of the Japan-based Yahoo company can only land in Tokyo halfway, and then fly directly to Yanjing!
This time, Song Yang is mainly in China, Japan, Singapore, Bangzi and other places. Although in name, he also announced that he will investigate and invest in the local Internet industry, but in fact, he is just going through the motions. The key is to cut the leeks here next year... …

When the plane hovered over Tokyo, all the people on the commercial plane also looked at the city below. As people from the suzerain country, it was the first time for them to come to the territory of "little brother".

"Song, I heard that Japan's custom street and hot springs are very famous!"

Gallo squeezed to Song Yang's side, and said to Song Yang winkingly, causing Irene to roll her eyes.
