"What's this you're holding?"
"The latest mobile phone, you see, it's very light."
Looking at the big brick in front of him, William White was speechless. Well, this is the first time a product has been put on the market since he worked with Motorola.
The reason why William White is speechless is that it was implemented before he took over, and it cost more than $100 million.
"Tom, do you really think it's light?"
"Well, I've seen one in Europe. I don't know whether it's Nokia or Siemens. It's more than ten times bigger than this. It's a bit like a walkie talkie on the battlefield."
"I know that. Maybe it can be installed in a car."
"Boss, it's good, but it's too expensive. It's more than 4000 US dollars. Besides, the talk time is not enough."
"How long will it last?"
"Half an hour, but twenty minutes at most."
Well, William White is depressed. He remembers that he should start with the most basic battery. Today's battery is only the oldest nickel cadmium battery. Even if the lithium battery has not been developed, it should at least use nickel hydrogen battery.
To understand all this, William White began to call a meeting of the mobile phone department.
To be honest, William White is not going to be too radical. This mobile phone is an excessive product. If you want to promote and make money, you have to wait for the era of GSM.
Fortunately, the requirements of the old man are not excessive. There is no big change. He just wants to reduce energy consumption and increase battery capacity.
To put it bluntly, Ni MH batteries are not high-tech. you, who are selling for 4000 US dollars, can accept the increase in cost anyway.
William White has already figured out that if these bastards dare to say that they can't do anything, he will immediately transfer this damned factory.
As for the call quality and other requirements, well, it's better to save some effort. It's very good not to be able to cross the line.
"What's going on in the digital lab, Philson?"
"There is a breakthrough. Two more patents passed the examination this month. The directors of Motorola seem to have some opinions on the extra R & D expenses."
"If you have any opinions, you can keep them. If you can't, you can withdraw your shares. A group of shortsighted bastards."
Of course, William White has reason to be angry. If he didn't consider the R & D cost of more than $100 million, he planned to push it all over again. However, climbing the technology tree is not so simple. Even if the direction is right, it still takes time to accumulate.
At the insistence of William White, all departments quickly started technical public relations. After all, the boss's requirements were very reasonable.
All of them are existing technologies, and there is no black technology. Just a week later, an improved version of the big brick scheme was on William White's desk.
"Well, it's pretty much the same thing. What the hell are you waiting for four hours? In fact, after two hours of standby, you can only make one call. "
"Boss, the cost may be a bit high."
"That's because the order quantity is too small, the quantity will be doubled directly, and the price will be reduced by 10%. That's what I want."
Filson's eyes are jumping. He is unable to make complaints about it. Is your request too outrageous?
"Don't worry, Philson. If my order increases ten times, they will give a 50% discount."
"Well, boss, I'll talk to them."
"Philson, the semiconductor industry is like this. What was the price of 64K memory a year ago?"
"I'm afraid the boss won't be cheap for a long time. I feel it's bad to touch people with my feet."
"Ha ha, I'm not afraid. We have a big Bangzi country. Don't worry. They don't mind making less money in order to rub the foot basin people on the ground."
Filson doesn't understand that this country seems to have nothing to do with Bangzi. Where does the boss come from? He even asked some of his Chinese employees, but it's a pity that no one can answer this question.
After the reminder of filson, William White thought of the problem of memory prices. However, it is a matter for the IT industry, which will not affect him for the time being. The use of game machines is not large. These memories are already low-end products. Let alone Bangzi country, Baodao can be produced.
What's more, these things are OEM. If a person doesn't prepare his own inventory, he or she deserves to die.
These guys are really tough. After the Plaza Agreement, the currency has increased by twice. In this case, the export enterprises did not close down immediately. I have to say that this is really a miracle.
In the face of such a partner, Motorola does feel a little frustrated. They are old-fashioned top 500 enterprises. What will they do there.
However, in the face of a guy who can always bring benefits to shareholders, what else can you be dissatisfied with?
If you really make this young man irritated, don't say anything. Just one more competitor, or one of those very powerful competitors.
In fact, according to the agreement reached by both sides, Motorola's board of directors is not binding at all.A group of guys trying to find a sense of being failed.
Obviously, most of the board members are Wall Street elites. They don't trust these old guys.
How about the chip department with heavy losses?
What did you old guys say?
Ha ha! Now, Motorola is not the best chip company, but the most profitable one.
As for the memory department you mentioned, it can make people angry now. If it wasn't for this rubbish, the stock price would have gone up a lot.
For investors, it doesn't matter if you toss about, but don't do anything, it will make the stock price avalanche directly.
Separated from William White?
Let's not joke. As soon as the news is announced on Wall Street, the stock price will react immediately. Conversely, if the joint venture project increases capital, it will raise the share price.
After the old folks figured it out, William White's super big brick plan began to be implemented. William White believes that with this thing, the promotion of simulators will definitely be better.
Pioneers sometimes are so painful, no matter how well you develop, there will always be people overtaking, especially in the mobile phone market.
How can Ericsson and Nokia achieve the ultimate goal? It is almost the end of the whole army.
"Boss, Murdoch has integrated fox, and now there are obvious signs of expansion."
"Hehe, the old man is quite tenacious. Barry, how do you think we split up the production department?"
"Separation of production and broadcasting? Is it too radical? "
"Ha ha, if there is no competition, how can there be any motivation? In this way, our goal is not so big."
"Well, I'll make a plan. What about the existing programs?"
"They should know that as long as the audience rating is good, they can talk about everything. If your bid is too low, they can sell it to ABC, but for one thing, Tuao villains are absolutely not good."
Barry Diller is not sure if the old guy has prized the girl of the goods. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. Do you have such a big hatred?
"All right, boss, I'll arrange it."
