After doing Jeff's ideological work, it became much easier to acquire palm.
After all, Jeff is a person who knows the palm company. Yuanqi technology proposed this acquisition with his guidance behind it. He will certainly not be set by 3Com company.
Therefore, after several bargaining, 3Com finally agreed to hand over the ownership of palm company on the condition of free authorization of Palm OS in the future and the purchase price of US $30 million.
US $30 million, although not much compared with the current acquisition cases of hundreds of millions of US dollars in the Internet industry. But for 3Com, it has made a lot of money.
Because when they bought it from Jeff Hawkins, they didn't spend so much money.
By contrast, they have made money on their books. In addition, although palm company is independent, the PDA business with net cash flow is still under the company's name, which can be said to make a steady profit without losing.
Of course, in the initial negotiation, 3Com didn't want such a sudden emergence of a Chinese enterprise.
However, it was soon thought that there was a rumor that a giant involved in the acquisition of Netscape was a Chinese enterprise, and its name seemed to be the same.
The acquisition of Netscape has shocked Silicon Valley and the Internet industry.
It's a multibillion dollar merger.
The strength of any company that dares to take over should not be underestimated.
As a result, 3Com executives have to look at Yuanqi technology differently.
At this time, looking back, the strategic cooperation conditions and agreement frameworks proposed by the other party no longer seem to be empty, but have deeply scratched the itch of the company's future globalization strategy.
As a supplier of global communication equipment, 3Com is destined to expand and penetrate into the Asia Pacific market. Among them, Huaxia is the most important market that is not easy to ignore.
In this blueprint, if there is a win-win cooperation between Yuanqi technology, an influential local enterprise, 3Com's market development will undoubtedly be much faster.
Two days later, when Wu Tao took Yang Ge and Huitong Jeff to see off the senior management of 3Com at Palm's headquarters, everyone felt a little suddenly.
Jeff, in particular, found that something he had pondered for a long time had come into the hands of others and was easily done.
This is true. Without comparison, there is no harm.
And Yang Ge and Lengning, these subordinates, have another general feeling in their hearts.
As a Chinese enterprise, it has finally been completed
