Sugon Technology needs to contact Motorola as soon as possible and buy Motorola's eight-inch wafer factory and affiliated factories in Tianjin.
Among them, Sugon Technology needs to prepare billions of funds to build a foundation if Sugon Technology can gain a foothold in the high-end mobile phone field.
The loan repayment time that originally took several years may be compressed to one year or even up to two years!
Although shortening the loan repayment time by one or two years may not seem like a big deal, it is because there is no need to repay the loan during the reduced one or two years.
Sugon Technology will be able to devote more funds to product research and development and technological research, and ultimately Sugon Technology will rise faster.
Therefore, the success of high-end mobile phones actually affects the future of Sugon Technology, and has a considerable impact on the rise of Sugon Technology.
Of course, these are all things in the future. The current task now is to quickly negotiate with Motorola about the purchase of the Tianjin chip factory.
It is now approaching the second half of the year. If there is no negotiation, the chip factory in Tianjin will be snatched away by Zhongxin International.
…
June 20, 2003.
Mediland, Motorola headquarters.
At this time, there was silence in the high-level conference room of Motorola, and many people present had solemn expressions on their faces.
"Colleagues, it's time for us to face reality."
The person speaking at this time was Yafirovsky, who was in charge of the mobile phone business.
In response, a Motorola executive said helplessly:
"The two mobile phones of Sugon Technology achieved sales of 400,000 units on the first day. In the following days, it is said to maintain sales of 82,000 units every day, and the annual sales volume is expected to be 30 million units.
Facing such a powerful enemy, I really felt numb and didn't know how to face it.
After all, every 10,000 units they increase in sales means that our Motorola V1 mobile phone sales decrease by 10,000 units. "
At this point, the scene fell into silence again.
Because what the executive said is indeed true, even though Sugon Technology's sales performance collapsed on the first day.
But then the sales of more than 80,000 units per day for four consecutive days completely made people lose their mocking words.
"Perhaps we should pay attention to Sugon Technology, put away our arrogance, and regard it as a stronger opponent than Nomagia."
The person speaking at this time turned out to be Edward Sandel, who had always looked down on Sugon Technology before.
It seems that Sugon F2 mobile phone and Sugon A2 mobile phone have completely shattered his pride. However, such enemies are even worse for Sugon Technology.
Because the technology industry is not afraid of enemies being stupid, it is afraid that enemies will pay too much attention to you and then follow behind you to try to bring you down.
However, at this time, Galvin, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke:
"Everyone, Lin Chen sent me a cooperation request to discuss. The matter is too big. I think we should discuss it together."
After Motorola President Galvin finished speaking, several staff members slowly placed the relevant documents in front of more than a dozen senior executives at the scene.
"Shuguang Technology wants to purchase our chip factory in Tianjin?"
Edward Sandel made a surprised sound.
They didn't expect that Suguang Technology was looking for them. Then Edward Sandel rolled his eyes and seemed to think of something sinister.
However, at this time, an executive in charge of the network communications business at the scene frowned and said:
"Sugon Mobile is our enemy, how can we sell chips to them? Doesn't this increase the enemy's strength?"
Upon hearing this, another executive nodded in agreement and said:
"Indeed, our chip factory in Tianjin can produce 130nm mobile phone chips, and their Phoenix S1 mobile phone chip happens to be 130nm.
Once we sell the chip factory in Tianjin to them, we will allow them to produce and sell Phoenix S1 mobile phone chips on their own.
Then this is bad news for us. I think we should sell the chip factory to Zhongxin International. "
In response, Edward Sandel, who had a cold curve in his mouth, shook his head slightly and said:
"No, I think selling the Tianjin chip factory to Sugon Technology is the best choice. Don't forget how many billions of dollars we have been defrauded by the semiconductor chip production business."
"this……"
After hearing Edward Sandel's words, the two executives who had just objected immediately shut their mouths, with expressions of emotion on their faces.
After all, Motorola is a company that has been badly cheated by its semiconductor chip production business.
Last year alone, Motorola lost US$284 million in cash due to its semiconductor chip production business.
Therefore, their first impression of the semiconductor business is that it is a money-losing business, a business with the largest losses.
If the chip factory is really sold to Sugon Technology at this time, it will definitely cheat Sugon Technology and make them understand the pain of burning money like running water.
At this time, Yafirovsky, who was in charge of the mobile phone business, also agreed:
“I support selling Tianjin’s chip factory to Sugon Technology. Sugon Technology’s current annual production capacity has reached 30 million units and it can manufacture 82,000 mobile phones every day.
A new mobile phone factory with a capacity of 30 million units is currently under construction, and it is said that it will be put into production in August or September.
By then they will have a total production capacity of 60 million mobile phones, which is bad news for us at Motorola.
With the Sugon F2 and Sugon A1 mobile phones, they even cannot achieve the annual sales capacity of 60 million units.
But I think the pressure to achieve annual sales of 40 million units is not too great. If they eventually launch other models of mobile phones, it is possible to sell 50 million units annually.
So we must stop Sugon Technology from developing steadily. As for how to stop it, I think there is nothing better than letting Sugon Technology bear a huge burden.
We will definitely sell the chip factory for no less than 10 billion Xia Yuan. With Sugon Technology’s current strength, they cannot come up with so much cash and can only borrow money.
Under such circumstances, Sugon Technology will be under tremendous pressure and will need to repay a huge debt every month.
Invisibly, Sugon Technology cannot spend so much money on research and development, and the yield rate of 130 nanometers is too low.
Eventually their momentum slows down, and we get more than just a bunch of cash in the meantime.
They can also find out the shortcomings of Sugon's mobile phones and eventually develop stronger mobile phones to defeat Sugon Technology. "
After hearing Jafirovsky's words, many people at the scene brightened up and realized that this was indeed a way to deceive Sugon Technology.
After all, they also have a deep understanding of how pitfalls the semiconductor chip production business is. It can be said that 2002 was one of the most difficult years for Motorola.
The main reason is the problem of too many loss-making businesses. Among these loss-making businesses, the most shocking one is the semiconductor chip production business.
