Chapter 262 I can't see through

All the elites present, including Director Sun. Although Director Sun's professionalism and talent in technology are far beyond his business ability, it does not mean that he does not understand business operations at all. Otherwise, Sgopa would not have developed from a small IT company to a huge scale later.

But everyone also knew that the glorious era of Scopa was already over. The investment mistakes in the VCD project made Scopa lose an excellent opportunity to become the overlord in the video field. Then, due to a series of decisions and investment mistakes of the company, Scopa fell into a financial crisis and had no choice but to sell their most core and potential subsidiary. Although the funds obtained from the sale of the subsidiary greatly alleviated Scopa's financial problems, it was like a leaking wooden boat, just holding rags and rags to blindly block the holes that emerged from the water. Although it could be relieved for a while, it was not a long-term solution.

In fact, even Dong Dong himself knew this, which was also the main reason why he later resigned from his position as president and handed over the company's administrative and management power to Diff. Dong Dong Dong hoped to succeed through several projects in the laboratory, just like the VCD he created in cooperation with Wan Yan, so as to technically achieve the miracle of bringing Sgopa back to life.

But he never expected that reality gave him a blow. The miracle did not happen as expected. Instead, what Diff gave him made him clear what the so-called trusted people he was. He secretly sold the company's inside information to Juji, misappropriated a large amount of research funds for enjoyment, and even used the company's money to pay for private expenses, etc.... Lin Lin's various incidents made Dong Sun almost burst into blood on the spot.

Now, the other end of Cisco, which once swallowed more than 3,000 small and medium-sized IT companies, actually joined forces with Zhou Liwen, the little fox. This was a heavy blow that Sgopa could not bear. Of course, if he only breathed a sigh of relief, Dong Sun could slap and refuse, and toughly exercise his chairman's rights to reject the acquisition proposal. But the result he could not bear.

If Dong Sun really insists on his own and refuses this acquisition, then what awaits him is the last way to go bankrupt. By then, as the chairman, he will not only lose everything he currently has, but will even be a complete loser.

Don’t think about yourself, your family, and the other shareholders and employees of Sgopa, so Dong-Sun could not do this. Moreover, looking at the frustrated and helpless faces in front of him, Dong-Sun knew very well that the general situation was hopeless and being acquired was their only choice.

In just a few minutes, Dong Sun seemed to have grown much older. Although he tried hard to keep himself calm and calm, his words still had lingering melancholy and helplessness.

"I agree to negotiate with the other party for the acquisition, Diff, for everyone, for yourself, and for the colleagues of this company, I hope you can take responsibility for this."

"Don't worry, I will!"

"Okay! Just like that..." Dong Sun nodded, stood up and looked around for a while, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he left the conference room with heavy steps. When he watched him walk out of the door, everyone present knew that his era had completely ended from this moment.

Without Sun's obstacles, the subsequent acquisition negotiations went very smoothly. In just one month, Cisco and Orz announced the acquisition of Scopa for US$480 million, plus 0.1% of Cisco's shares and 6.75% of Orz's shares. The final share structure of Scopa acquired is: Cisco has 39% as the largest shareholder, Zhou Liwen has 37% as the second largest shareholder, and Sun has 5% as the founder of Scopa, but in fact, this 5% only has the right to dividends and no operating rights. In other words, except for respect for him, Director Sun has obtained an honorary chairman and director position on the board of directors, the company has no other relationship with him.

Among the remaining 19% of the shares, the remaining shareholders of Sgopa continued to hold shares, but there have been great changes in their respective equity structures. For example, for example, Diff, the former CEO of Sgopa, increased his shares from the original tiny to inconspicuous 0.7% to 1.6%, thereby gaining the right to enter the board of directors. Moreover, according to the agreement negotiated by Zhou Liwen and Cisco, Sgopa's CEO will continue to be Diff. Both board members will be assigned to serve, and the chairman is appointed by Cisco. However, in the event of failure to achieve absolute controlling stake, Zhou Liwen relies on Diff's CEO powers and share ratios in the board of directors to be basically the same as Cisco. The entire company has not been directly merged into Cisco as originally imagined, but still maintains its original independence.

Keeping Sgopa without splitting does not mean that Zhou Liwen and Cisco are not reorganizing the company. Chambers is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Zhou Liwen is the same. Before taking action, the two discussed and reached an agreement on Sgopa's future and made a comprehensive plan.

In addition to chip factories, Sgopa's original main business was basically in the encoding and decoding of the entire series of integrated circuits of MPEG1 and MPEG2. However, with the advancement of technology and the renewal of the IT industry, the development of these businesses alone could no longer support the overall development of Sgopa. Therefore, after discussing with Chambers, Zhou Liwen decided that in the future, Sgopa's main development direction in addition to the design and manufacturing of mobile phone chip systems, it also includes digital semiconductor devices for communications and computers. Of course, it also includes some research on digital video. After all, Sgopa is still good in digital video technology, and whether it is future smartphones or tablets, it still cannot be separated from these core technologies, which is a very important part of Zhou Liwen's overall plan.

After completing the acquisition of Sgopa, Zhou Liwen immediately handed over the order for the smartphone chip system to Diff, and at the same time, the production volume of ordinary 2G mobile phone chip systems was further increased. These two big orders made Diff, who was appointed CEO by the board of directors, overjoyed, because in terms of smartphone chip systems alone, Zhou Liwen placed a super order of 10 million yuan in one breath this time. According to Zhou Liwen's requirements, this quantity is far from enough. Sgopa must be prepared to expand production capacity. According to Zhou Liwen's plan, from the second half of this year to the first half of next year, the production volume of smartphone chip system must increase and meet at least the astronomical figure of 25 million yuan per month. Seeing this number, Diff couldn't believe his eyes, and hesitated and called Zhou Liwen, who was far away in Shanghai, to ask if he wrote an extra zero on the order.

When he received the reply confirmed by Zhou Liwen, Diff felt a little dizzy. The maximum production capacity was 25 million pieces per month. What does this mean? As the CEO of a large IT company, it is clearer than anyone else. Not to mention Scopa, this number is probably a result that all IT companies, including the famous Intel, have not achieved.

According to Diff's knowledge, in the IT industry, or the game console industry, Nintendo, Japan, sold about 6.5 million units in the annual sales volume when the FC was launched, which had created a miracle. In 1996, Nintendo launched the "Game Boy", which sold 40 million units worldwide in one go, which made everyone even more stunned. But these quantities are very different from the number of chip systems required by Zhou Liwen. Diff knew that Zhou Liwen's Orz company had achieved great success in the 2G mobile phone market, but according to calculations, it was far from the amount required by the current amount!

Don’t think that a chip system is small, it represents the core of a mobile phone. According to Zhou Liwen’s order amount, Zhou Liwen is confident that he will sell 100 million or even more mobile phones within 10 months. What does this mean? Is this possible? Diff was stunned and couldn’t figure out where Zhou Liwen’s self-confidence comes from.

This order also shocked the chairman who Cisco sent to Sgopa and immediately reported the situation to Chambers. Seeing the report, Chambers was stunned. Although he knew some inside information better than Diff, he was also optimistic about Zhou Liwen's smartphone project due to the IOS system. However, the current situation also made him confused about Zhou Liwen's step by step.

However, Chambers is not Diff, nor is it the Cisco senior executive who sent to Sgopa as chairman. Although he didn't understand where Zhou Liwen's confidence was, Chambers, who had dealt with Zhou Liwen several times, knew very well that Zhou Liwen, a young Chinese businessman, would never be a hot-headed fool, calm, calm, cunning, smart, and pursuing wealth by any means... Almost like Chambers himself, such a person would never do this without being fully sure of him.

What's more, what if Zhou Liwen's plan fails? Can't Cisco take advantage of the opportunity to join Orz and get what they didn't get at the negotiating table? So, no matter which result is, it will have no impact on Cisco and Chambers himself. If Zhou Liwen succeeds, both Scopa and Cisco can gain huge benefits from it. If Zhou Liwen fails, it will not harm both. It may not even be possible for Cisco to take the opportunity to swallow Orz.

After thinking about it over and over again, Chambers immediately greeted his own people on the board of directors of Sgopa in the name of President Cisco, asking them to fully cooperate with Zhou Liwen's smartphone plan. If necessary, Cisco could even consider providing some support to Sgopa. He had to open his eyes wide and see where this Oriental boy who could not even understand himself could go.
