The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 740 What's the name?

"Mr. Bell, for the sake of our old friends, I advise you not to be obsessed. This Jiangnan Group is obviously destroying the entire market. Why don't you work for his 00 game center instead of our own mobile game platform?" , the mobile phone manufacturers here can get 50% of the share, which is 00 times more than the 20% you get from the 1.5 game center, so don't be stupid to work for these Chinese people!" Grant said with a smile, he is a Nokia mobile phone President of the US market.

Because the U.S. market is the largest market under Nokia, Grant has a high status in Nokia, second only to the president of Nokia.

And Bell Phone is one of the mobile phone companies in the United States that has joined the 00 game platform, which is what I just said.

"..." To be honest, Bell was a little moved. He also knew the news of this brand new platform jointly developed by other mobile phone manufacturers this time, and he actually regretted it at the time.

A 50% share is better than 20% no matter how you look at it.Moreover, it also owns 90% of the current market share. From this point of view, sooner or later, this platform will take advantage of its size to easily kill the OO game platform. It is too urgent to agree to Jiangnan Group.

In addition, the current situation of Bell Telephone is getting worse and worse. Under the impact of mobile phones, the sales of landline phones are already in decline. After all, whoever has already collected them will buy landline phones.

But the mobile phone market is also very bad. From the fact that later generations have never heard of this brand, you will know how unsatisfactory the Bell mobile phone brand is.

"Otherwise, I will give up the cooperation with the 00 game platform. Anyway, this cooperation does not limit the game platform. I can contact here again. The big deal is that one mobile phone operates two platforms at the same time!" So Bannon, the president of Bell, said Nodding emotionally, he asked, "What are the conditions for joining this new platform?"

"It's very simple, there are no other additional conditions, but we need to ensure that our platform is in an exclusive position. Once we cooperate with our platform, we must not cooperate with other mobile game platforms!" Grant's eyes shone brightly. The rules are clearly set for OO game platforms.

"That's it..." Bannon was a little depressed. The 00 game platform didn't have this kind of two-choice restriction. On the contrary, this new platform has so many damn regulations. This is not forcing him to immediately give up and 00 game platform Do you cooperate?

But if the new platform can be established, from the perspective of prospects, it will be much better than the 00 game platform, so although Bannon is a little unhappy, he still asks, "Then when will this platform be launched? "

"It will be enough within three months!" Grant said very confidently, "We have uniformly recruited capable personnel from each company to form this joint development team. I believe that within three months, this mobile game platform will definitely be available. come out!"

"Drop personnel from various companies? Isn't this forced to piece together? It will take several months for the adaptation period of cooperation alone. Why not let a company complete this development work independently?" Bannon asked incomprehensibly .

"What's so strange about this, you can't expect a company to be responsible for the entire development work independently!" Grant said with a face of course, "The mobile game platform is a completely unfamiliar platform for all of our manufacturers. To say the least, it will cost millions of dollars, and a lot of manpower and material resources need to be withdrawn. If you let a company independently take care of this work, who do you think is willing to pay these millions of dollars in vain?"

"Then we can all pay together, and let a team, or directly establish a new company to operate this platform, it's better than going through all the trouble!" Bannon said.

"It's useless!" Grant shook his head. "You can think of such a method. How could so many people in the meeting not think of it. It's just that if everyone wants to pay, whoever pays the big head and who pays the small head, each person has to pay for it." how much?"

"For example, two companies, Nokia and Motorola, occupy 50% of the entire market, so do these two companies need to pay 50% of the cost? Are they willing?"

"And those companies with a small market share, do they only need to pay a little money, and then they can use the same platform and products for free?"

"These issues are too difficult to figure out. If we don't just discuss these, I'm afraid we won't be able to discuss a result within a year, so everyone decided to pay for their own people. Anyway, people are worthless, and the pull on interests is not that big. , and everyone agrees."

"..." Bannon opened his mouth and had nothing to say.He seems to have seen these companies take out some useless garbage and take charge of the mobile game platform this time.

Don't ask why Bannon knows this, ask that Bannon and the Bell phone behind him are serious victims.

As I said before, Bell Telephone itself was spun off from the huge Bell Communications Group. This company has a history of hundreds of years of development, and its shares are very complicated, involving dozens of investors behind it.

At the same time, Bell Communications also has more than a dozen different sub-departments. Because there is no strong president to lead them, these sub-departments are basically in a state of silos, and the headquarters is only responsible for a financial statement.

Later, the board of directors of Bell Communications Group found that the mobile phone business was very profitable, just like setting up a mobile phone project team.However, the establishment of a mobile phone project team requires people, so the board of directors directly ordered the transfer of manpower from various sub-departments to form a mobile phone department.

In the order of the board of directors, each sub-department was required to recruit elite soldiers to form a mobile phone department, but when each sub-department was ready to recruit people, none of the heads of these departments carried out this order.

You must know that the various sub-departments below are basically operating independently, and the head office is just a place to manage and distribute money. As for the bonus and budget allocated in the second year, and how to calculate the performance of each department, then It all depends on the performance of the respective departments.

Under such circumstances, the elite soldiers and generals in various departments are their treasures, how could they be willing to give them to a newly established mobile phone department for no reason, and this department is not led by them.

But the order of the board of directors came down and had to be implemented, so each sub-department fully understood and brought into play the spirit of the board of directors, and all those old fritters, fishing madmen, or newcomers, dispensable guys in their respective departments, all It was said that he was an elite soldier and a strong general, and he was sent to the mobile phone department.

This is a good thing for the various sub-departments under him. It can clean up those guys who only eat and don't work under them, and greatly remove some garbage.

But it is obvious what the mobile phone department composed of these elite soldiers will look like.

Bannon was the guy who was transferred to the mobile phone department at that time, and he may be the only elite soldier in the entire department, because he was originally the vice president of a sub-department, because he was fighting with the boss for power, so he was dismissed by the opportunity mobile phone department.

Originally, Bannon was very happy to become the real top leader, but he was completely desperate when he found out what he had under his hands... Even though Bannon tried hard to build this department, the result was still in vain. It took a full 5 years to toss out the first mobile phone, and it was still three years behind the same industry. Basically, mobile phones composed of assembled finished parts, the sales volume is naturally not much.

If it wasn't for the later split of the Bell Group, the telephone department and the mobile phone department were combined, and the telephone department had a group of really capable personnel.

At the same time, Bannon became the president of the company. With no queen mother at the top, he could make drastic reforms on his own, which barely allowed Bell Mobile to gain a place in the market.

But there is only one place, this area is less than 2% of the US mobile phone market, Bannon is called difficult.

It is precisely because of this that Bannon knows very well how bad the result will be when these dozen mobile phone companies decide to mobilize elite troops to do it in the future.

If the various sub-sectors of a company are like this, these independent companies will really make ghosts of those elites.

But here, Bannon is not completely desperate. He thinks this platform still has a chance, because one of these companies is a mobile phone company named Sony Ericsson.

You can tell from the name that this is a mobile phone brand jointly established by Sony and Ericsson, and Sony is the world's number one game platform manufacturer. If Sony Ericsson joins in, the background of this platform will be much stronger than 00 Game Center .

So he asked, "So Sony Ericsson also joined this joint development?"

"Of course I joined, their names are on the list!" Grant rolled his eyes and said firmly.

"That's okay!" Bannon nodded and said, "How about this, your platform will be built first, and after the establishment is successful, we Bell will sign a contract with you as soon as possible!"

"Mr. Bannon, I don't like you stepping on two boats like this!" Grant snorted coldly and said, "You want to get it right, take advantage of the current window period to take advantage of 00 Game Center, and wait until our platform is established Come back and share our achievements, how can there be such a good thing in the world!"

"Let me tell you, the rules have been agreed upon between us, and the chance for you to join is only these three days. After three days, the contract will change, and you will no longer be able to share 50% of the profits, but you can only join like Like the OO game platform, only 20% of the profit can be shared, and the remaining 30% will be handed over to our platform R&D companies to share equally!" Grant said.
