Chapter 673 Ericsson

When He Jin and the others went to Finland to negotiate with Nokia on the acquisition of mobile phone and mobile communication technology, Du Yuemei went to Sweden's Ericsson Group in person to discuss with them a buyout agreement for the authorization of mobile communication technology.

Whether it is Heung Kong Telephone Group or British Telecom Group, if they want to develop mobile communication in the future, they will need this technology. Without these technologies, they will not be able to become mobile communication operators.

At present, companies with better technology in this area are Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson and other companies. Motorola is located in the United States, and it is too difficult to buy out technology from them. On the contrary, Nokia and Ericsson in Finland and Sweden are much more tolerant.

Now these people don't know how big the market will be in this area in the future. With Li Guangyu's one-time buyout authorization, he can develop with confidence in the future, conduct research on the basis of these technologies, and gain an advantage in this area in the future.

Du Yuemei met Roy Smith, the current president of Ericsson, in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and communicated with him on mobile communications.

Roy Smith has heard a lot about Du Yuemei, a newly emerging strong woman in England. Over the past few years, Du Yuemei has made headlines in Western European mainstream media several times. A woman under [-] is currently in charge of the largest The automobile group is also responsible for all the industries of the Lee consortium in Western Europe, and its power is very huge.

The Ericsson Group attaches great importance to the Asian market. This year they started to enter the mainland market. They also know the strength of the Lee Consortium very well. If the Ericsson Group can reach some cooperation with the Li Consortium, their performance will be improved. one floor.

In the subsequent communication, when he learned that the Lee consortium wanted to buy out their technology, Roy Smith refused without hesitation. Their future focus on the development of the Ericsson Group will be on mobile communications. How could they Put this technology in a package for sale.

He said to Du Yuemei: "Ms. Du, I believe you also understand that our Ericsson Group will not sell the mobile communication business. We Ericsson also hope to reach a cooperation agreement with you so that we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results in mobile communication. , we can establish a mobile communication company in Xiangjiang and England in the form of a joint venture, what do you think?"

Of course, Du Yuemei would not be willing to accept such a cooperation. What the Li's consortium needs is technology. If they cooperate in this way, they will always be subject to the Ericsson Group. This is not the result they want.

Li Guangyu has made it clear that he is very optimistic about the market in this area in the future. Even if she spends more money to buy it now, it doesn't matter. She has already obtained permission from Li Guangyu. As long as the price here is not too outrageous, she can buy it directly. Li Guangyu There will be special funds for this technology acquisition, and there is no need for England to worry about funding.

If we cooperate with Ericsson like this, we don't need to come here in person. Both Motorola and Nokia are willing to cooperate in this way, but Li Guangyu doesn't want to adopt this kind of cooperation. The technology should be in his own hands to be safe.

Du Yuemei said: "Mr. Smith, I believe you are also aware that our executives under Li's company are also negotiating with Motorola and Nokia. If this is the case, it may be difficult for us to reach a cooperation agreement. I don't know about your technology. Do you have any plans to authorize? Our Li Family Group is willing to carry out a one-time buyout authorization, and you can invest in subsequent research and development with this fund, what do you think?"

Roy Smith knew very well that if the Li's consortium could not acquire this technology, it would be impossible for Ericsson Group to reach a cooperation agreement with them.

At present, Li's consortium owns Xiangjiang Telephone Group and British Telecom Group. If I authorize it, I can make money twice at one time, because if I authorize one, one of the two groups will not be able to use it.

Of course, one possibility is not ruled out, one group merged another. In this case, they are a group, and there is really nothing to do on my side.

Fortunately, he understands the situation of the British Telecom Group, which still has 50% of the government's shares. It is not easy for the Li's consortium to merge, and the Li's consortium will obviously not be willing to let the British Telecom Group merge with the Xiangjiang Telephone Group .

Their Ericsson Group mainly relies on technology, services and products. In some areas, it also licenses technology, but under normal circumstances, it is rare for such a one-time buyout, and they are not willing to do a one-time buyout.

The only difference between a one-time authorized buyout and a technical buyout is that the authorized buyout can only be used by their own company, and it is not enough to transfer this technology to a third party. The others are no different.

Now Roy Smith has to consider whether to withdraw a large amount of funds at one time for the group's subsequent research and development and expansion, or to keep the flow and not to buy out the authorization.

He knew very well that the Li consortium would definitely not just discuss technology acquisition and licensing with him, whether it was Nokia or Motorola, or some companies in the United States with mobile communication technology, they would all be their targets.

Especially the Bell Labs in the United States, which has always been their strong enemy, and its mobile communication technology is also very perfect. The Lee Consortium will definitely not let go of the negotiation with that side.

Roy Smith said: "Ms. Du, it seems that you attach great importance to the future mobile communication market. Ericsson is very willing to reach a cooperation agreement with you, but I still need to discuss the specific cooperation plan with the senior management. Tomorrow morning, I will give you an answer."

Du Yuemei knew that such a big matter could not be completed in one meeting. Fortunately, she didn't have any important matters in the Bentley Group at the moment, so it didn't matter if she stayed here for a few days.

"Mr. Smith, our Xiangjiang Telephone Group is very sincere. Think about it, as long as our Xiangjiang side develops well, it will become a benchmark in Asia. Whether it is Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, or the Greater China region, it will let people The influence of your Ericsson Group has been greatly improved, and your business in Asia will be more popular in the future.”

Roy Smith is naturally aware of Xiangjiang's status in Asia, and at the same time, he is also very aware of the influence of the Lee Consortium there.

Not to mention other things, as long as I have reached a cooperation agreement with the Li's consortium, it will be much easier for many of my businesses to enter Baodao and Southeast Asia.

It's just that the issue of technology authorization is too important. I need to discuss with everyone at the board of directors to determine a plan that the Li's consortium can accept and that I can get a good profit.

Authorization is to be granted, but the follow-up plan still needs to set a general framework, so as to negotiate with Du Yuemei, this time is a great opportunity for their Ericsson Group to expand, he is not willing to miss this opportunity, let Bell Labs Or Nokia and Motorola have taken them.

And as long as Xiangjiang develops good results, their Ericsson Group will be able to increase cooperation with the mainland, and the vast market on the mainland is their future development direction for the Ericsson Group.
