Chapter 1040 Agilent Technologies
After drinking and eating, Yu Dong and others stood up to say goodbye. Huang Guozhu insisted on sending the three of them to their residence, and then wandered back to his home.
Yu Dong was worried and followed Huang Guozhu for a while. When he saw that Huang Guozhu was sure to return to his home, he went back.
After returning home, Yu Hua sat on the newly made bed and frantically poured water into his mouth. After he finished pouring it, he wiped his mouth and said, "Fortunately, I boiled the water in advance, otherwise I wouldn't have had to drink the water when I came back."
"Principal Huang is quite good at drinking. He drank half of the pot of wine we drank. That pot can hold two kilograms of wine," Wang Xiaobo said with a smile.
"Not only can he drink, but he can also blow. I thought we were good at blowing before, but I didn't expect him to be able to blow. If he wants to write a novel, he will definitely not be able to do it." Yu Hua lay down on the bed, "
The school that Yuanwai chose for us is very challenging."
Yu Dong also sat on the bed and said with a smile, "If there is no challenge, why should I ask you to come? I won't leave tonight. I will wait until tomorrow to listen to the tasks he assigns to us. It's too early to say anything now. Wait until I give
Let’s talk about it after students have attended a few classes. If you encounter any problems, solve them. Don’t put pressure on yourself before you encounter specific problems.”
"There are a few other teachers. I don't know what the situation is. If the other teachers are willing to teach the students well, it won't be that difficult. I just hope they don't just think about making money." Wang Xiaobo grinned, "This is yellow
The principal's house is enough for him to live in, but he still wants to live in the school, presumably because he wants us to find a house locally."
"I noticed it as soon as I arrived. Although there are beds in the dormitory, it doesn't look like there are people living there every day," Yu Dong said.
"Hey, I see there's a basin and a kettle there? Why doesn't it look like someone is living there?" Yu Hua asked strangely.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "The basins and kettles can be used during the day. Think about it again, are there any racks to dry clothes? Not to mention clothes racks, there are not even a change of clothes. Could it be that Principal Huang doesn't wash clothes when he lives in school?"
Yu Hua pouted, "I didn't observe that carefully."
"Me too……"
As soon as Yu Dong opened his mouth, the phone in his pocket rang, and he took it out.
"Hey, boss, I have something to report to you." Assistant Jiang Yueming's voice came from the other side.
"Well, you say." Yu Dong replied.
Jiang Yueming began to report, "The first court hearing of the lawsuit between Huawei and Cisco has ended. Because Bruce, the CEO of three companies, and others have appeared in court to testify, the situation is relatively good for Huawei. In addition, some inevitable suspects are involved.
For products containing Cisco code, Huawei also announced in court that it has withdrawn from the US market. Because Huawei is relatively well prepared, Cisco has nothing to do now, and I guess the results will be available soon."
Yu Dong nodded. This kind of intellectual property litigation is usually lengthy. It is common for the two parties to be in stalemate for several months. During the litigation and negotiation process, Huawei is always trying to make mistakes. But now Huawei has the help of Deep Space Company.
, the move was so fierce that Cisco couldn't resist it.
If Cisco doesn't have a good way to embarrass Huawei next time, the court will most likely reject most of Cisco's claims.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "Let them not take it lightly and wait for Cisco to resubmit evidence. They should be able to see the general result when the next round of court is held."
"Mr. Ji said that if we can't stand the next court session, Cisco will talk to us about settlement. When we talked about settlement with them before, they refused to let go of the harsh conditions at the beginning, but now that the two sides have fought in court, they
We also know that the initially proposed conditions are impossible to achieve, so we should give in.”
"Well, let's wait for them to reconcile. If the conditions are reasonable, we will settle. If the conditions are unreasonable, we will continue to respond to the lawsuit. Is there anything else besides this matter?"
"One more thing, Mr. Wang from Huayi wants to invite you to dinner."
"Huayi's...Wang Zhongjun?" Yu Dong asked.
Jiang Yueming replied, "Yes, he has made an appointment before. Every time he went to the secretarial department, he got stuck. This time he got my phone number from nowhere and made an appointment directly with me. Do you want me to refuse it for you?
?”
Yu Dong was not surprised at all that Wang Zhongjun was able to get Jiang Yueming's phone number. Jiang Yueming was his assistant, and he usually had to contact many people, and there were many places to leave his contact information.
But most people would not contact Jiang Yueming and ask Yu Dong for dinner.
If you are familiar with Yu Dong, just contact Yu Dong directly. If you are unfamiliar with Yu Dong, you will usually be self-aware and will not make this call. If you are relatively familiar with Yu Dong, Jiang Yueming will definitely not report it. Although Wang Zhongjun is not as good as Yu Dong, after all,
He is also the boss of a large company, so Jiang Yueming naturally wants to give him some face.
Wang Zhongjun actually approached many people to make an appointment with Yu Dong. He had approached Zhao Baogang and Wang Shuo before, but neither of them helped him.
Zhao Baogang is a monkey man, so he naturally knows that he can't help him. If he helps him, Yu Dong's impression will be bad. Yu Dong doesn't like Huayi. People outside the circle don't know that he, Zhao Baogang, is an insider.
How can people not know?
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Xu Zheng left Deep Space Entertainment was enough to make Yu Dong angry. Not to mention helping Wang Zhongjun arrange a dinner with Yu Dong, now Zhao Baogang is not willing to get too close to Wang Zhongjun for fear of Yu Dong.
Dong put him into the same faction as Wang Zhongjun, and now Zhao Baogang's film and television company is still pointing to the Deep Space Company to make money.
As for Wang Shuo, he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing, and he didn't feel that he had much face.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "No need to refuse or make an appointment to eat. You can reserve a private room at Li Ji Tea House for Tuesday afternoon. I will be there at three o'clock."
Jiang Yueming was a little surprised and said, "Are you really going to make a date?"
"Well, meet him and see what he wants to do."
"Okay, I understand, I'll reply to him now."
…
After hanging up the phone, Yu Hua looked at the phone in Yu Dong's hand, "Hey, does your phone still have signal here?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Xiaobo also took out his mobile phone in surprise. Since their two mobile phones came to this place, there has been no signal at all, and they cannot send messages or make calls.
It doesn't work anymore. It's useless except to check the time.
There are no telephones in this town, so they are all worried about this matter, especially Yu Hua, who usually wants to talk to his family on the phone.
Now that they saw that Yu Dong's cell phone could still answer calls, they felt very amazing and looked at Yu Dong eagerly.
Yu Dong smiled and said: "This is not an ordinary mobile phone, but a satellite phone. You can make calls even in the mountains, not to mention here. It's just that the phone bill is a bit expensive. But don't worry, this phone will be left here for you."
use."
Yu Hua gave Yu Dong a thumbs up, "That's right, it's on the right track. I'll thank you very much."
Yu Dong added, "You're welcome. I will ask the accountant to deduct the machine fee and phone fee directly from your manuscript fee."
Yu Hua twitched the corners of his lips, "I take back what I just said."
…
Yu Dong downplayed the lawsuit between Huawei and Cisco, but this matter was very sensational in Europe and the United States. Although only a few media released some information, the outside world still speculated based on the attitudes of the two companies after the court hearing.
thing.
After the court session, Cisco sternly accused Huawei on Deep Space Tribe, but the wording was vague, and at first glance it didn’t seem to have any confidence.
If Cisco had the upper hand in this trial, Cisco would never have this attitude.
On the other hand, Huawei did not mention the court hearing at all after the court session. While congratulating itself on the establishment of a joint venture with 3, it also actively reported to the outside world about their acquisition by Deep Space Company. The entire acquisition is almost completed.
There is still some finishing work left, and it can now be said that Huawei is a subsidiary of Deep Space.
No matter how you look at the different attitudes of the two sides, Huawei is taking advantage in court.
Cisco's development relies on mergers and acquisitions and prosecutions. This time they used the same methods to suppress Huawei, but this time they have cracked a hard nut. Not only is Huawei itself tough, but its backend is even harder. If they want to crack it, they have to collapse first.
Lost some teeth.
Some people don’t quite understand why Cisco must mess with Huawei. Although Cisco was so brilliant before and is not bad now, it is still a bit inferior compared to the booming Deep Space Company. The key is that Deep Space Company’s current operations are too stable.
, and it’s also Cisco’s party A. Cisco would suffer too much if we go head-to-head.
Look at AOL next door. Before, we were fighting against Deep Space Company, but now we are brothers, okay? There is no shame in bowing your head in the face of interests.
But everyone in the industry knows that Huawei's onslaught is too fierce and Cisco cannot resist it.
Originally, Huawei was quite conservative in its advertising, but since Cisco decided to sue Huawei, Huawei's advertising has become more liberal.
Now Huawei's slogan in Europe and the United States has become "The only difference between them is the price", which is naked and direct.
Huawei's products have the same performance as Cisco's products, but the price is 20% to 50% cheaper than Cisco's. Huawei's sales in the US market in July increased by 60% compared with June, and most of these sales were
Digging it out of Cisco's market share.
Just imagine, things with similar performance and functions have a price difference of 20% to 50%. How many people will choose the higher price? No matter how valuable the Cisco brand is, it is not worth so much money.
It is also this year that although Cisco still maintains its dominance in the global network equipment market, its market share has declined.
Of course, Cisco's market share has declined not only because of the emergence of Huawei, but also because of the emergence of other similar companies.
Cisco is certainly wary of Huawei's terrifying growth rate. In this case, they have no way to sue for peace unless they are willing to hand over the telecommunications equipment industry to Huawei.
Since we can't sue for peace, we have no choice but to be tough. The two sides go to the front battlefield and fight with bayonets. Either you die or I die.
On September 2 this year, in a bidding meeting held in Brazil, Huawei stood out due to its excellent product performance and beat Cisco to win an order of 4 million yuan. This is also the largest order that Huawei has won alone since June.
Because of this failure, Cisco directly fired the company's bidding manager.
This incident also dealt a huge blow to Cisco. They know that more large orders are likely to come to Huawei in the future.
…
At this point, many people thought that Huawei and Deep Space had done enough. But what everyone didn’t expect was that on the second night after the first court hearing of the lawsuit between Huawei and Cisco, Blue Starry Sky
The technology company suddenly released an announcement on the Deep Space Tribe website that the company will acquire the chip department of Agilent Technologies for US$800 million.
Agilent Technologies is a semiconductor company. In 1999, it was separated from Hewlett-Packard Research and Development Limited Partnership. It is mainly dedicated to the research and development, production and sales of products in communications and life sciences.
At first, Agilent Technologies was in the hands of HP itself, but in the summer of 2000, HP distributed these shares to HP shareholders, and Agilent Technologies became a completely independent company.
Although Agilent is only a spin-off of HP, it is very large. It now has more than 30,000 employees and its annual net income can reach more than 5 billion US dollars.
It is basically impossible for Blue Star to acquire Agilent, so what they acquired is only the chip department of Agilent Technologies. But even if it is just an inconspicuous chip department, it will cost Blue Star 800 million US dollars.
The main reason is that high-tech companies have been having a hard time in the past two years. Otherwise, Agilent may not be willing to sell its chip department to Deep Space Company, even if the price reaches 800 million US dollars.
Of course, the reason why this department can sell for 800 million US dollars is because their department does have technology. For example, they put more than 30,000 human genes on a chip for the first time, and they also launched a mobile phone with a camera function.
Micro camera modules, these technologies are so useful to the blue starry sky that they can even be said to be tailor-made for them.
In fact, Agilent has also been laying off employees recently. In their plan, in the next year, their company will lay off 9,000 people, with the layoff ratio reaching 30%.
If the chip department is sold directly to Blue Star Company, their pressure on layoffs will suddenly be much less.
After completing this acquisition of US$800 million, Blue Star has become completely incomparable with its previous scale and has become a large company.
The most nervous ones at this time are not chip companies like NVIDIA and ADM, but the mobile phone manufacturers.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emergence of Blue Star is mainly to develop higher-performance mobile phone chips. If this happens, the development of BenQ Mobile will be immeasurable.
