Back To 1995

   Chapter 628

   Hearing the name of Alcatel Mobile, William Sherrard was obviously stunned for a moment, so that he couldn't hear the words behind the assistant.

  Alcatel mobile phone, William Sherrard is no stranger to it. He is not in the mobile phone circle, but he has also heard of the name of Alcatel mobile phone.

  In the electronics industry, Alcatel mobile phones can be regarded as a new benchmark. When they were in France, Alcatel mobile phones were a second-class mobile phone brand, and they followed Nokia and Ericsson.

  The Alcatel mobile phone that Song Yang could own, except that the brand was the same as before, the entire Alcatel mobile phone had undergone a qualitative change.

William Sherrard heard that Alcatel's mobile phone revenue this year has exploded. It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but in this year's ranking of America mobile phone sales, Alcatel mobile phone ranks third, second only to Nokia, In addition to Motorola, Ericsson, the third child of ten thousand years, was squeezed down, and the jaws of everyone were shocked.

   Moreover, William Sherrard has heard that Alcatel mobile phone is a whole industry chain, the profit is higher than that of Motorola and Nokia, and the profit this year is quite amazing!

   For these rumors, William Sherrard is somewhat envious, thinking that the graphics card of the Dimeng was also a must in the rivers and lakes. Countless electronic enthusiasts are proud of obtaining the graphics card of the Dimeng.

But now, 3DFX graphics cards are much more popular than Dimeng, and there is also a coveted NVIDIA, plus ATi and other graphics card brands, the graphics card industry is killing too much, and the price war is flying. On the contrary, the alliance can't bear it.

Thinking about today's Dimeng graphics cards, and then looking at Alcatel mobile phones, if you want to say that you are not envious, it is definitely self-deception. When Dimeng faces Alcatel mobile phones, the only thing that can take advantage of it is probably its own "old senior" Identity, it will be addicted to the mouth.

   But suddenly received a call from Alcatel's mobile phone, which made Sherrard a little puzzled. He didn't know what Alcatel's mobile phone was trying to find God Alliance. He had never heard of what graphics card Alcatel wanted to play.

   "You tell Alcatel phone over there, I'll go over there!"

At this time, the status of the rivers and lakes does not have much effect. Now the strengths of Alcatel Mobile and Dimeng are quite different. For the invitation of Alcatel Mobile, Sherrard only has the past share. Tian came to him in person.

  With his thoughts, William Sherrard hurried to San Jose after explaining what he was doing.

Sherard is no stranger to San Jose. He has been here for many times. This time, there were countless companies that bought graphics cards from the Diamond Alliance. .

  Sherrard came to the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park. Looking at the busy park and trucks constantly coming in and out, Sherrard was invited into the administration building.

   It is said to be a building, but it is actually a four-story building. This is where the management staff of Alcatel Mobile work. There are also reception rooms, conference rooms and other places.

When Sherrard entered, he glanced and saw a group of young people sitting in the reception room, looking at each and everyone in suits and shoes, pretending to be calm, but in fact they were all nervous and holding resumes in their hands. De can see at a glance what they are here for.

   Sherrard sighed slightly when he heard the person who was interviewing in the office say he was from Stanford University when he was passing by the office where the interview of the HR department was hung.

Just look at the attractiveness of Alcatel mobile phones to major universities in America, and you will know the current situation of Alcatel mobile phones. Alcatel mobile phones can be compared with many peers and those old technology companies. A lot of money, otherwise how could it attract so many people...

  In an office, when Sherrard drank half a cup of coffee, a figure pushed in the door.

   "President John, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. There was a Symbian system authorization meeting just now, and I just finished talking with a few manufacturers..."

Eltien came in and shouted to Sherrard, Nokia, Motorola, Sony and other manufacturers, although equipped with the Symbian system, but kept making small movements, always wanted to secretly modify the Symbian source code and system management Permissions, many secretly use small actions.

   Hearing Eltien's words, Sherrard laughed, "I can understand that the former Imperial Alliance was also treated like this by IBM, Dell, and Intel..."

Hearing Sherrard's calm pretense, Eltien was stunned. The ancestors of the Dimeng graphics card had also been rich. At the peak of the Dimeng, it was also a tyrant in the electronics industry. How many computer manufacturers came to beg the emperor. It is a high-end model that is equipped with a graphics card from the alliance!

   "President John, I'm glad you came here. This time I'm asking you to come here. I have something very important to talk to you about. It may be related to Diameng, Alcatel Mobile, or more companies..."

   After sitting down, Eltien said to John Sherrard. Hearing this, Sherrard did not speak immediately. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can I know, what's the matter?"

   "Dimeng can choose to refuse, but I think that Dimeng will be the best partner for this project of Alcatel Mobile, which is also the will of Bruno's directors!"

Hearing Ertien mention Song Yang, Sherrard nodded silently and looked up at Ertien. He was also a little curious at this time. After Song Yang's name came out, what was he going to do?

  Erthien first put a non-disclosure agreement in front of Sherrard, and after he signed it, he pushed a plan to Sherrard.

   "Sherrard believe me, this will be an opportunity for Dimeng. I have no intention of offending Dimeng, but I have also heard about the situation of some Dimeng companies!"

  Eltien raised his arm, "Technology, parts supply, production lines, and sales channels are all provided by Alcatel Mobile. For every machine sold, Dimeng can get 10% of the revenue, and in addition..."

"Director Bruno won the North American Global Investment Foundation, and will cooperate with PA Semiconductor to invest 50 million US dollars in Dimeng in exchange for a 25% stake in Dimeng. In the future, he will jointly develop a new generation of graphics cards with Dimeng. If necessary, we will Will help Dimeng cooperate with Apple and other manufacturers!"

  Erthien has drawn a lot of cakes for Sherrard, and it is also a source of money and investment. As long as you join the faction, the benefits in the future will be indispensable to the alliance.

   As soon as    came up, he gave Dimeng 50 million US dollars. This US blade is not too small. Last year, Dimeng worked hard for a year, and it did not earn as much as this US blade.

   "MP3 electronic player?!"

Sherrard put down the plan. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised about this project. They are all old guns in the electronics industry. of.

   Not to mention MP3, can it overturn the dominance of the Sony Walkman in electronic players? Just talking about this project, Sherrard feels that it can be a bit amazing.

But in this industry, after being around for so long, Sherrard has also seen a lot of storms. Sherrard knew instinctively that it's probably not that simple.

  Reject Alcatel phone offer?

Sherrard really can't say it. The current small life of the Diamond Alliance is not generally bad. The graphics card business is really a bit of a stretch. If the MP3 business can improve, it is almost a life saver for the Diamond Alliance. Money, or a new generation of graphics cards, it is estimated that they will not be developed.

   "Who is the opponent of the Dimeng?"

   After a while, Sherrard, who passed the battle between heaven and man, obviously made up his mind and asked Sheertian.

   "Five major record groups!"

Eltien knew that people like Sherrard couldn't be fooled, so he simply told him directly, "But don't worry about the Dimeng, Alcatel Mobile will develop a song management system for the Dimeng, using this song management system, MP3 You can download music from the Saipan Music Store, but you need to pay for the music!"

  Sherrard frowned, he quickly figured out the loophole, "What if the user doesn't buy and download music from the Saipan Music Store?"

   "Oh," Eltien said with a regretful expression, "That's a pity, but the song management system of the Diamond League has reminded users to download genuine music, right?"

  Sherrard stared at Eltien in astonishment. He now understood why the Alcatel mobile phone was not affixed with its own brand, but with the brand of the Alliance. This was just playing tricks and taking advantage of federal law.

   "20%, Dimeng wants MP3% 20% income!"

After thinking for a moment, Sherrard raised his head and gritted his teeth. He said, "For the sake of money and birds, the Dimeng also has to do some dirty work. As long as the means are used well, a lawsuit with the five major records may not be possible." will lose.

   Now, for Dimeng, if you don’t help Alcatel’s mobile phone to do the dirty work, you may not be able to survive. If you take the blame, you may be able to escape. For Sherrard, it is not difficult to choose.

   Hearing that Sherrard wanted to split the account by 28, Ertien thought for a moment, and reached out to Sherrard, "You won't regret this decision!"

   "The Imperial Alliance is done!"

  In the villa in San Jose, Song Yang put down his mobile phone and said to Greg in front of him, "Now it's up to Kalanick!"

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Greg shook his head. He didn't want to let Alcatel Mobile play with the five major records, but there was someone who was in the dark and could still make a fortune in the music industry with MP3.

   "Scour has more than 5 million users, and by Christmas, our server will have more than 8 million hits!"

  Scour headquarters, Kalanick is vigorously promoting his website to several investors present.
