These four core departments include personal equipment department (mobile phone department), network department, official service and enterprise department, and network home department.

Among them, the head of the personal devices department, that is, the mobile phone department, is Gafirovsky.

This Gafirovsky is also a famous person in history. According to the history of his previous life, this person almost bought Huawei Technology this year.

"It really should be taken seriously."

It was Christopher Galvin, the president and CEO of Motorola who was speaking at this time.

Although Galvin has always been at odds with the ambitious Gafirovsky, who wanted to be a leader, the two could still reach an agreement concerning the future development of Motorola.

"I think what Motorola should pay attention to is how to abandon the semiconductor business. After all, we lost 284 million US dollars in the semiconductor business alone last year!"

It was Edward Sandel of Motorola who spoke at this moment.

According to history, Edward Sandel will defeat Gafferovsky to take over the position of CEO in December 2003.

As for the original Galvin and the president Gafferovski who only worked for a few months, according to history, they will be dismissed successively by the Motorola board of directors this year.

Among them, Gafirovski didn't say anything, it seemed a bit wronged and aggrieved to be dismissed after only a few months as the president.

But Galvin's dismissal is inevitable, because he has always advocated that Motorola should have its own semiconductor factory, and for this reason, in the summer of the summer, Lijin City established the largest chip production factory outside of the United States.

But the facts proved that Motorola did not seem to find a way to make a profit. As a result, in 2002, Motorola not only failed to make money in the semiconductor business, but lost everything.

Under such circumstances, at this time, many senior executives and even shareholders of Motorola really complained a lot about Galvin, the president. It can be said that if Christopher Galvin’s surname was not Galvin.

It was the member of the Galvin family who created Motorola. At that time, Galvin had been forcibly dismissed by the board of directors just like Jobs, although he has not been dismissed now.

But according to history, Galvin did leave Motorola in May this year. The board of directors only left a little face for him to resign on his own. Become Edward Sandel.

However, at this time, after hearing that the semiconductor business problem was to be solved, Jafirovsky, the head of Motorola's personal device business, also agreed:

"It's really time for us to think about giving up the semiconductor business, at least sell the 8-inch wafer factory in Tianjin in Daxia and the subsidiary semiconductor factory first.

Didn't Zhongxin International reveal that they want to buy our 8-inch fab and other subsidiary semiconductor factories? I think we can talk! "

At this time, except for Galvin, the head of Motorola who insisted that Motorola should have its own chip factory.

All middle and high-level executives and shareholders hate the damn semiconductor business very much, because this semiconductor business has caused Motorola to suffer huge losses, which has reduced the profit income of their executives!

Therefore, Motorola, including the shareholders, really hates the semiconductor business, and wishes to abandon the semiconductor business as soon as possible.

According to the history of the previous life, in October 2003, Zhongxin International would successfully acquire Motorola’s eight-inch wafer fab and subsidiary semiconductor factory in Tianjin, and then establish Zhongxin International with a registered capital of 1.29 billion US dollars. Tianjin Branch.

But at this time, these things have not happened yet, and it is also possible for Lin Chen to obtain Motorola's eight-inch wafer factory.

After all, whoever sells is not selling. As long as Sugon Technology gives more than Zhongxin International, then Sugon Technology may still purchase this eight-inch wafer factory in Tianjin and its affiliated semiconductor factory.

Although Motorola's eight-inch wafer factory is nothing in the current era, the chip manufacturing process is even more behind the world.

At present, only 350nm and 180nm chips can be mass-produced. The 130nm process has been losing money due to the problem of yield. Motorola lost so much money last year because of the insufficient yield of the 130nm process.

As for the wafer, it is only a mere 8-inch wafer, which is not even comparable to the 12-inch wafer that Zhongxin International is currently building. The actual total cost of producing chips is definitely higher than that of other 12-inch wafers.

But even with so many deficiencies, this is still a complete chip factory.

A complete factory that can refine and cut silicon ingots from raw materials, and then go to chip photolithography, needle testing, testing, and packaging.

It can be said that except for a small number of key raw materials that still need to be imported, such as high-precision silicon raw materials, photoresists and chemicals for chip production, etc., need to be imported from island countries or Medi countries.

But even so, this is actually a fairly complete chip factory, and it can be said that it can be used after purchase.

Under such circumstances, at this time, Motorola's 8-inch wafer factory is definitely the best choice for Sugon Technology.

Unfortunately, with the current strength and financial resources of Sugon Technology, it is not easy to purchase an 8-inch wafer factory.

After all, even if it is only a third-rate 8-inch wafer fab and its subsidiary semiconductor factories in the world, the price to acquire will start at tens of billions.

Especially now that Zhongxin International, who also wants to buy an 8-inch wafer fab, exists, Motorola, who has the opportunity to raise prices on the ground, will definitely not soften his heart.

"Don't even think about selling the semiconductor business, I will never agree!

Our semiconductor business is about to succeed. If we sell the semiconductor business at this time, the investment for many years will be lost. "

At this time, Galvin, the head of Motorola, did not agree to sell the semiconductor business.

Although he has realized intellectually that Motorola is really not a material for chip production, he also regrets why he spent money on semiconductor chip production in the first place.

But Motorola has invested so much money in the semiconductor business over the years, if it sells the semiconductor business at this time.

That was undoubtedly an admission of his failure, and all the huge sums of money he had spent at the beginning turned into splashes. This result was too unacceptable.

"The dead duck has a hard mouth."

At this time, Sandor said an oriental proverb in his heart, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

In fact, he also knew why Galvin insisted on refusing to give up the semiconductor business, because if he did so, it would undoubtedly represent Motorola's official admission of failure.

As the price of failure, it is obviously impossible for Galvin to continue to sit in the position of head, so Galvin has been holding on and refusing to admit defeat.

But evasion cannot solve the problem, and now the number of people in the company accusing and dissatisfied with Galvin is increasing day by day.

Maybe in a year or so they'd kick Galvin off the altar, make him go as far as he could, and tell him the Galvins were no longer welcome in Motorola.
