Chapter 628

Hearing the name of the Alcatel mobile phone, William Sherard was obviously stunned for a moment, so that he didn't hear what the assistant said clearly.

William Sherard is no stranger to Alcatel mobile phones. He is not in the mobile phone circle, but he has also heard of the name of Alcatel mobile phones.

In the electronics industry, Alcatel mobile phones can be regarded as a new benchmark. When I was in France, Alcatel mobile phones were a second-rate mobile phone brand.

The Alcatel mobile phone that was acquired by Song Yang, except that the brand is still the same, the entire Alcatel mobile phone has undergone a qualitative change.

William Scherrard heard that Alcatel's mobile phone revenue this year has exploded. It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but in this year's ranking of mobile phone sales in America, Alcatel ranked third, second only to Nokia, Except for Motorola, Ericsson, the third child of [-] years, was squeezed out, and the jaws of everyone were shocked.

Moreover, William Sherard has heard that Alcatel's mobile phone business is a complete industry chain, and its profits are higher than those of Motorola and Nokia. This year's earnings are quite amazing!

For these rumors, William Scherrard is a little envious. Thinking about the graphics card of Diamond, it is also a must in the world. Countless electronic enthusiasts are proud of getting the graphics card of Diamond.

But now, 3DFX graphics cards are much more popular than Diamond, and there is also Nvidia, which is eyeing a tiger, and ATi and other graphics card brands. On the contrary, the Emperor League couldn't bear it anymore.

Think about the current Diamond graphics card, and look at Alcatel mobile phones. If you say you are not envious, you are definitely deceiving yourself. When Diamond is facing Alcatel mobile phones, the only one who can take advantage of it is probably its own "old predecessors". Once you have your identity, you will have a good time.

But when he suddenly received a call from Alcatel's mobile phone, Scherrard was a little puzzled. He didn't know what Alcatel's mobile phone was looking for from the God League. He had never heard of what kind of graphics card Alcatel wanted to use.

"You tell the Alcatel phone, and I'll go there!"

At this time, the status of Jianghu does not have much effect. Now the strength of Alcatel mobile phone and the two sides of the alliance is really quite different. For the invitation of Alcatel mobile phone, Scherrard only has the past, and it is impossible to let Alcatel Tian came to him in person.

With something on his mind, William Sherard finished explaining what he was doing and hurried to San Jose.

For San Jose, Scherrer is no stranger. He has been here for countless times. This time, there have been countless companies that have bought Diamond graphics cards. But now, these fools have begun to support Nvidia and 3DFX. .

Sherlock came to the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park. Seeing the busy park and trucks coming in and out, Sherlock was invited into the administrative building.

It is said to be a building, but it is actually a small four-story building. This is the management staff of Alcatel Mobile. They work on weekdays, and there are reception rooms, meeting rooms and other places.

When Sherlock entered, he cast a glance and saw a group of young people sitting in the reception room, looking at each of them in suits and leather shoes, pretending to be calm, but in fact they were all nervous, with resumes in their hands. De can see at a glance what they are here for.

When Sherard passed by the office where the interview of the Human Resources Department was hung, when he heard the person who was interviewing in the office say that he was from Stanford University, Sherard sighed slightly.

Just look at the attractiveness of Alcatel mobile phones to major universities in the United States, and you will know the current situation of Alcatel mobile phones. Alcatel mobile phones can be compared with other peers and those old technology companies. There is a lot of money, otherwise how could it attract so many people...

In an office, when Sherard drank half a cup of coffee, a figure pushed the door and entered.

"President John, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. There was a Symbian system authorization meeting just now, and I just finished talking with several manufacturers..."

Elthian came in and shouted to Sherard, Nokia, Motorola, Sony and other manufacturers, although they are equipped with Symbian system, but they keep making small moves, always wanting to modify the Symbian source code and system management secretly. Authority, no less secret use of small tricks.

Hearing Elthian's words, Shelder laughed, "I can understand that the former Emperor League was also treated like this by IBM, Dell, and Intel..."

Hearing Sherard's calm pretense, Ertian was taken aback. The ancestor of the Diamond Graphics Card was once richer. At the peak of the Diamond League, it was also a tyrant in the electronics industry. How many computer manufacturers came to ask for the emperor? It is a high-end model equipped with a Diamond graphics card, which is a cooperation with the League of Legends!
"President John, I am very glad that you can come here. This time, I have invited you here. I have something very important to talk to you about. This may be related to Dimension and Alcatel mobile phones, or there are more companies..."

After sitting down, Elthian said to John Sherard. Hearing this, Sherard didn't speak immediately. After deliberating for a while, he asked, "May I know, what is it?"

"Dimeng can choose to refuse, but I think that Dimeng will be the best partner for Alcatel's mobile phone project, and this is also the wish of director Bruno!"

Hearing Ertian mentioning Song Yang, Sheldon nodded silently, and looked up at Ertian. He was also a little curious at this time. Ertian asked him to come over with such a big fanfare. Out of Song Yang's name, what exactly is he going to do.

Ertian first put a confidentiality agreement in front of Sherard, and after he signed it, he pushed a plan to Sherard.

"Shellard believes me. This will be an opportunity for the Diamond League. I have no intention of offending the Diamond League, but I have also heard about the situation of the Diamond League!"

Ertian raised his arm, "Technology, parts supply, production lines, and sales channels are all provided by Alcatel mobile phones. For every phone sold, Diamond can get 10% of the income. In addition..."

"Bruno, director of the North American Global Investment Foundation, will cooperate with PA Semiconductor to invest 5000 million US dollars in Diamond Corporation in exchange for a 25% stake in Diamond Corporation. In the future, we will jointly develop a new generation of graphics cards with Diamond Corporation. If necessary, we will Help Diamond to cooperate with Apple and other manufacturers!"

Elthian drew a lot of big cakes for Sherard, both for money and as a source of investment. As long as he joins the camp, the benefits in the future will be indispensable to the Imperial Alliance.

As soon as it came up, it gave the Diamond League 5000 million US dollars, which is really not a small amount. Last year, the Diamond League worked hard for a year, and it did not earn as much as this US dollar.

"MP3 electronic player?!"

Sherard put down the plan, and was a little surprised by this project. They are all veterans in the electronics industry. Sherard still has sharp eyesight. He can see that MP3 is aimed at products such as walkmans and CD players. of.

Not to mention MP3, whether it can overthrow the dominance of Sony's Walkman in electronic players, just talking about this project, Scherrard feels that it can be a bit amazing.

But in this business, after so long, Sherard has seen a lot of big storms. The conditions provided by Alcatel mobile phones are so good, costing tens of millions of dollars, but as long as the Diamond League sticks a card, it can earn dollars. Sheldro knew instinctively that it might not be that simple.

Turn down an offer for an Alcatel phone?
Sherard really can't say it, the current life of the Diamond League is not ordinary, and the graphics card business is really a little hip. If the MP3 business can improve, it is almost a life-saving for the Diamond League. The money is gone, otherwise the new generation of graphics cards may not be able to be developed.

"Who is the opponent of the Imperial League?"

After a while, Sheld, who had gone through the battle between heaven and man, obviously made up his mind and asked Sheertian.

"Big Five Record Groups!"

Elthian knew that people like Sherard couldn't fool around, so he simply told him directly, "But don't worry on the side of Dimeng, Alcatel Mobile will develop a song management system for Dimeng, using this song management system, MP3 You can download music from the Symbian music store, but these music need to pay!"

Sherard frowned, and he quickly figured out the loophole, "What if the user doesn't buy and download music at the Saipan Music Store?"

"Oh," Ertian made a regretful expression, "That's a pity, but Diamond's song management system has already reminded users to download genuine music, hasn't it?"

Sherard stared at Ertian dumbfounded. He now understands why Alcatel's mobile phone doesn't have his own brand on it, but the Dimension brand on it. This is playing tricks and taking advantage of federal laws.

"20%, Diamond League wants MP3% 20% profit!"

After thinking for a while, Sherrard raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, people die for money and birds die for food. In order to survive, Dimeng also has to do some dirty work. As long as the means are used well, it may not be possible to sue the five major records. will lose.

Now for the Diamond League, if you don’t help Alcatel’s mobile phone with dirty work, you may not be able to survive. If you are blamed, you may be able to escape. For Sherard, it is not a difficult choice.

Hearing that Sherard wanted to split the bill, Elthian thought for a while, and reached out to Sherard, "You won't regret this decision!"

"The Dimension is done!"

In the villa in San Jose, Song Yang put down his phone and said to Greg in front of him, "Let's watch Kalanick now!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Greck shook his head. He didn't want Alcatel's mobile phone to fight with the five major records, but there is a scapegoat who can still make a fortune in the music industry by testing MP3.

"Scour has more than 500 million users, and by Christmas, our server has more than 800 million users!"

At the Scour headquarters, Kalanick was hard at work promoting his website to several investors present.
