Chapter 831 A step too late
Li Kunyao's proposal made Qi Chenggong a little moved. There was no way, anyone would be moved when they heard such a proposal. No matter from which angle you looked at it, this proposal would be of great benefit to them, Xiamen Electronics, without any harm.
There is absolutely no reason to refuse.
After pondering for a while, Qi Chenggong said, "Mr. Li, this is indeed an irresistible offer, but I can't make a decision on this matter alone. It needs to be decided after we hold an internal meeting. In addition, no matter what we end up with,
Without signing this letter of intent, I hope you can keep this matter confidential."
"Okay." Li Kunyao nodded.
Li Kunyao also expressed his understanding of Qi Chenggong's concerns. Regardless of whether XoC Electronics will eventually give up the mobile phone business, they do not want people to know that they have signed a letter of intent with BenQ Dentsu. If people know, I am afraid no one will care about them.
have confidence in their mobile phone business, which will directly affect their subsequent development.
Qi successfully picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said, "There are rumors that Deep Space Company acquired BenQ Dentsu to enter the mobile phone market. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that this news should be true.
Well, the CEO of Deep Space China actually personally accompanied him on the mission. But in this case, the cooperation between Deep Space Company and Motorola..."
Yu Liang smiled and shook his head, "I believe that the friendship between Shen Kong and Motorola will not change because of this incident."
Qi Chenggong smiled and raised his eyebrows. He felt that what Yuliang said was purely polite and not realistic at all.
Judging from the current situation, Deep Space and Motorola will part ways sooner or later.
Not just Deep Space, but BenQ Dentsu too.
Motorola has always been a big customer of BenQ. Now that BenQ wants to build its own mobile phone brand, even if the foundry business is not completely abandoned, it will no longer be their focus, and their cooperation with Motorola will be reduced or even terminated.
Li Kunyao also picked up a tea cup at the side. He did not speak, but he knew in his heart that whether it was Deep Space or BenQ, they would definitely go further and further away from Motorola.
…
After drinking tea in Qi Chenggong's office, Yu Liang and Li Kunyao went to a local hotel to stay, while Qi Chenggong was working hard to organize the board of directors.
After their board meeting was over, Qi Chenggong met with Li Kunyao and others again and began to formally discuss the letter of intent.
Finally, after two days of negotiations, the letter of intent was finalized. The general content is that BenQ Dentsu will acquire the mobile phone business of Xohua Electronics, BenQ Dentsu will invest 150 million yuan, and the two parties will establish a new company.
Ten million yuan, the former accounts for 70% of the shares, and the latter accounts for 30%.
Within two years, XoC Electronics has the right to activate the letter of intent at any time.
After two years, if it is not activated, the letter of intent will be invalidated.
Judging from the signing conditions of the letter of intent, BenQ Dentsu must have suffered a loss, because in this matter, only XomoChina Electronics has constraints on BenQ Dentsu, but BenQ Dentsu has no binding force on XomoChina Electronics.
Within two years, as long as XomoChina Electronics thinks that the development of their company's mobile phone business is not going well, they can write a letter of intent at any time and ask BenQ Dentsu to take over the business, or they can find another company, and they do not necessarily have to cooperate with BenQ Dentsu.
But Li Kunyao is not a fool. There is a reason why he signed such a letter of intent.
The mall is not unkind at all. Now that they have signed a letter of intent, as long as the price of others is not much higher than BenQ, BenQ will still have priority, and BenQ will be able to keep in touch with XomoChina Electronics and continue to pay attention to the developments of XomoChina Electronics.
.
Besides, even if XomoChina Electronics does not choose BenQ Dentsu in the end, BenQ Dentsu will not lose a dime, and it will also save face by selling to XomoChina Electronics.
After signing the letter of intent, Qi Chenggong smiled very happily and said, "Boss, please don't go back in a hurry. Let's have a meal together in the evening and let you experience the customs of Xiamen."
Yu Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi, you can eat this meal anytime. I really have to go back today. This guy suddenly pulled me over, and many things in the company have been left behind. Let's see, our park will hold one in August
Science fiction theme day, if you have time, you can go there and play. Your son is not in junior high school. He should like it, and you can take him there to play with you."
Qi Chenggong laughed, "Then you really know that kid very well. I learned about your science fiction theme day from him. He told me several times that he wanted to go and have a look."
"Isn't that great? It allows children to broaden their horizons without delaying their studies. Later, I will have someone send you and your family some deep space cards. Then you can take the cards and play around in the park."
Qi Chenggong waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yu, I really don't need your help with this. My kid already has a Starry Sky Card, and he even got one for me and his mother. Not only did he apply for the card for us, but he also asked us to
He must carry it with him, and he also told us to ask if we can earn points when buying anything. He just wants to save enough points to go to Jinling in the summer. I estimate that he should have accumulated a lot of points in his card now.
, enough for him to play in your park."
"It seems that Mr. Ling is still a loyal supporter of our deep space."
"Not only is he a supporter of deep space, he is also a loyal reader of your boss. He complained to me a few days ago that the autograph session was too early and he couldn't go there. It would be better if it was held during the summer vacation."
Yu Liang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll ask our boss to write a special signature for Mr. Ling later and send it over."
"Would this be too much trouble for the boss?"
"No, our boss has always treated young people very well. Not to mention Mr. Qi's son, even if he meets an ordinary middle school student, he will encourage him whenever he can. He often does this by sending books."
"That is, that is, Boss Yu has contributed a lot to the education of our young people in China. It is obvious to all. China still needs more conscientious and responsible entrepreneurs like Boss Yu. Boss Yu is not only a role model for young people, but also a role model for young people.
A role model for us business people. If Xoceco Electronics is lucky enough to cooperate with BenQ, I naturally hope that Deep Space Company can provide more help. I will definitely go to Jinling to visit Boss Yu in person when I have time."
Yu Liang smiled and nodded, "I will bring Mr. Qi's greetings to our boss."
…
After coming out of Xohua Electronics, Yuliang smiled and said to Li Kunyao: "How is it? Do you feel more at ease?"
"It's a lot of peace of mind." Li Kunyao nodded, "But it's really uncertain when XomoChina Electronics will give up its mobile phone business. We still have to make multiple preparations. Otherwise, if XomoChina Electronics lets us go later, we will
There is no place to cry."
"Actually, the boss and Mr. Ji are not that anxious about the development of the mobile phone business. They are more concerned about the merger of Daki Electronics and Lianyou Electronics."
"The problem is not big. The merger should be completed next year. I am also very concerned about the merger of these two companies, because it will become the core of our group in the future."
…
Li Kunyao and Yuliang separated within a few games. Yuliang would definitely go back to Jinling directly, while Li Kunyao was going to inspect the factory in Wuxi.
Not long after they left, Qi Chenggong received a call from Yang Qing.
Like Li Kunyao and others, Yang Qing also heard that Xohua Electronics wanted to give up the mobile phone business and came to discuss cooperation. However, Qi Chenggong, who had already signed a letter of intent with BenQ, covered his mouth tightly.
No matter how Yang Qing asked, Qi Chenggong kept saying that his company had no intention of giving up the mobile phone business and asked Yang Qing not to pursue their license.
Originally, the news that XoC Electronics was planning to abandon its mobile phone business was just a rumor, and Yang Qing was not sure whether it was true or not. But now that he heard Qi Chenggong's resolute attitude on the phone, he was also wondering, could this news be false?
Regardless of whether the news was true or false, since Qi Chenggong was so determined, Yang Qing did not ask any further questions.
Lenovo really wants to enter the mobile phone market. At the beginning of the year, after Lenovo split Digital China from the group, it went to McKinsey, a world-renowned management consulting firm, to provide them with advice.
McKinsey pointed out two development paths for Lenovo, one is to enter other fields besides PC manufacturing, and the other is to enter the international market.
After receiving McKinsey's "tips", Lenovo started thinking about entering the mobile phone market, because domestic mobile phones have developed very well in the past two years, and everyone can see the potential of this industry.
Technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and the threshold for mobile phone production has become relatively low. There are actually many companies that can make mobile phones.
But if you want to make mobile phones, you need a mobile phone production license. The first thing Lenovo needs to solve is the license issue.
Therefore, when Yang Qing heard that XomoChina Electronics was planning to give up its mobile phone business, he directly contacted Qi Chenggong. If the news was true, they certainly hoped to obtain a mobile phone production license from XomoChina Electronics.
But what Yang Qing didn't know was that he was a step late. BenQ Dentsu had already contacted XomoChina Electronics first.
Of course, Qi Chenggong cannot just hang himself on the tree of BenQ Dentsu, but they have just signed the letter of intent, and he still feels that he must give his allies a little trust. And they have not decided to give up the mobile phone business yet, and it does not require a lot
If the company comes to bid, it is better to wait until later when it really wants to give up the mobile phone business, and then contact Lenovo.
But the problem is, they can wait, but Lenovo cannot.
In addition to Xiamen Electronics, Yang Qing is also preparing to contact major mobile phone companies such as Center, TCL, Kejian and others during this period to seek cooperation with these big-name mobile phone companies. At the same time, they are also preparing to apply for licenses.
Lenovo is very eager and they hope to launch the company's first mobile phone within two years.

On the third day after the global release of "WALL-E", the book's online sales on Amazon exceeded two million copies, becoming the fastest novel to sell two million copies on Amazon.
But under this circumstance, Amazon's stock began to fall again. All the gains that had risen before were wiped out, and now it is still falling.
The stock investors who were still heaving a sigh of relief became desperate for Amazon after seeing that the incredible sales of YU's new book could not save Amazon.
Of course, it’s not just Amazon that has fallen. Since mid-March, no Internet company’s stock has looked good.
From mid-March to mid-April, the entire market fell by a quarter, and now there is no sign of stopping the decline.
Nowadays, there are many people shouting about anything. Some people say that the Nasdaq can stabilize at more than 3,000, while others say that it will fall below 3,000.
Of course, there are also more extreme theories, saying that the Nasdaq may fall below 2,000 this time and return to the era of 1.
This level of turmoil has affected even people who don't trade in stocks. After many people bought "WALL-E" on Amazon and saw the news of Amazon's stock plummeting, they were a little worried about whether their books might be sold.
Less than.
[I just bought "WALL-E". Is it possible that Amazon went bankrupt before the book arrived? 】
[Possibly, I heard that Amazon is reducing logistics and warehouses now.]
[Don’t worry, even if it goes bankrupt, the book payment will be refunded to you.]
[Should I return the book on Amazon and buy one at the bookstore?]
[Amazon will not go bankrupt, nor will Deep Space let them go bankrupt.]
[If Amazon continues to lose money, as experts online say, there is no reason for Deep Space to save it.]
[Deep Space still holds so many shares in Amazon, so it must be optimistic about Amazon.]
[I feel it’s not that Deep Space wants to hold it, but that it can’t sell it. They had been secretly selling Amazon’s stock before, but they stopped after they were discovered.]
[Deep Space Company’s assets have shrunk a lot. Have YU’s personal assets also shrunk? 】
[It depends on how many shares YU holds in Deep Space, but from my perspective, YU can make enough money just by selling books. The sales of this book "WALL-E" have exploded again, and the royalties are huge.]
[I heard that "Old Book" made YU 100 million US dollars, I don't know if it is true.]
[This is impossible, the sales volume of "Old Book" has not reached this level, but tens of millions of dollars must be there.]
[YU’s most profitable book should be the “Resident Evil” series. This series must have earned YU more than $100 million.]
[Let me predict that "WALL-E" will also become a money-making tool for YU. I heard that Wall-E figures have already been released. 】
[It’s not a figure, I saw a video from Jinling, there is a one-to-one model of WALL-E. 】
[It’s not a model, it’s a real WALL-E. 】
[You guys are really lagging behind in terms of information. Wall-E has already registered an account for the Deep Space Tribe. You can check it out.]
…
After Hozier saw this news on the Internet, he quickly searched for Wall-E in the search bar, and sure enough he saw Wall-E's official account.
