Chapter 372: Luck, Luck
"Boss, those guys from RIm agreed."
Listening to Benier's ecstatic voice, Lin Zheng couldn't throw the phone out: This is a Blackberry, they agreed so happily?
"They promised? What conditions? Well, tell me about the detailed process of your contact. Boss Lin's voice trembled a little.
I can't help but be excited, this is the only giant that can compete with Motorola in the field of two-way paging at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, but now, Benier has only been in Canada for two or three days, and he has actually completed the cooperation with RIm? That's a ...... In the eyes of Boss Lin, he is actually not optimistic about Benier's trip to Canada, of course, it is not absolutely optimistic, but it will take a year and a half to reach a cooperation agreement with RIm, right? But now it's good, but in two or three days, Benier actually managed to cooperate with RIm? After the initial shock, Lin Zhenglin's big boss was very curious, how did you Benier do it?
"Oh, that's a long way to say......"
Benier's call was originally to show credit to his boss, and naturally expressed the whole process in great detail: to put it simply, his trip to Canada was very smooth, and before he went to Canada, he got in touch with RIm, and now RIm is indeed developing a two-way pager, and they themselves are using IcQ, which has set off a monstrous wave in the entire European and American technology circles. There is even an idea to integrate IcQ into the RIm two-way pager that he is developing. Consideration is being given to how to get authorization from IcQ, just because RIm is now desperately short of funds. They didn't contact IcQ......
"Wait!" Lin Zheng felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and hurriedly interrupted Benier's words, "Lao Bei, you said that the reason why RIm Company has not contacted us is that it is raising funds and preparing to obtain our authorization to port their IcQ to their two-way pager?" ”
"That's right, that's it," Benier's smug microphone could clearly feel. At this moment, when I heard my boss ask, I couldn't help but say to Lin Zheng proudly, "Their executive officer, Mr. JimBa1si11ie, told me personally that they have found some ways, and it is estimated that they will be able to finalize the financing matter in another month or two, and once the financing matter is determined, they will contact us." ”
"This ......"
Why do I think this is so mysterious? Lin Zheng hesitated. Finally, he asked Benier, "Benier, I don't think it's appropriate for them to tell us this kind of thing, right?" ”
"Of course, he wouldn't have told me at the beginning that JimBa1si11ie was only telling me after we had reached a preliminary agreement and had already finalized the general direction of cooperation," Benier snorted. "JimBa1si11ie, that guy isn't a good thing, he's as cunning as a fox."
But Benier was a bit of a disgrace when he said this, and in business, to say that a person, especially his opponent, was as cunning as a fox was not so much an insult to him. It's better to praise him a little more: I don't know how many people want to be as cunning as a fox, and he Benier doesn't want to be scolded behind his back, "Damn old fox!" ”? I can't say for sure.
Lin Zheng is also the one who is the boss. Naturally, he could think of the little caution in Benier's heart, and he chuckled, and his heart did let go of a lot, and he groaned for a while, and then continued, "Well, go on, especially what JimBa1si11ie told you about their financing and their two-way technology. ”
"Oh, they found a venture capital firm, hoping that the other party can invest 1oo dollars in them, a considerable part of which is used to obtain our authorization, but the other party's requirements are a bit high, JimBa1si11ie is still a little hesitant, the two sides are at a stalemate on this issue, but after we appear, RIm naturally has no need to raise funds from venture capital companies."
"But their two-way paging technology is really good, I tried their office sample, it's very easy to use," in this matter, Benier is still quite realistic, but just in Lin Zheng's heart, he just praised him for his kung fu in less than a word, this guy crooked his mouth, and crooked again, "But now it is tried in their real room, and whether it can still ensure such fluency and stability when used in practice remains to be tested." ”
Benier said it easily, but Lin Zheng listened to it with white sweat on his back: Nima! It's dangerous!
Obviously, RIm wants to raise $1oo dollars, in addition to obtaining permission from IcQ to use IcQ instant chat software all the way to their two-way pager, it should be that their two-way paging technology is still a little immature and perfect......
After carefully recalling the relevant history of RIm, Lin Zheng is very sure that as long as RIm crosses the hurdle in front of him, there will basically be nothing that can stop them in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Zheng asked, "Well, what about the final result?" What price did we pay? What kind of results did you get? ”
"We invested $3oo million and IcQ's mobile terminal equipment license, obtained a 32.5% stake in RIm and a commitment to fully popularize the mobile version of IcQ in RIm mobile communication terminals, unless we specifically request and the government mandates it, every RIm mobile terminal device must install the mobile version of IcQ, of course, in order to be able to achieve this stake ratio, I promise to that damn JimBa1si11ie that we will not be involved in their corporate management and operation, Only financial supervision and dividends are distributed. Speaking of this, Benier was quite indignant, "Boss, in fact, we don't have to pay so much money at all, even if we don't show the last hole card, I can guarantee that we can get more than 25% of the equity......"
Benier was chattering and cursing JimBa1si11ie for the cunning of that old fox, apparently cursing JimBa1si11ie, but in fact he was showing credit to Lin Zheng: Boss, you see, in order to be able to achieve your initial request, I have taken a lot of effort, do you not know how troublesome JimBa1si11ie's bastard is to deal with...... But it's a pity that Boss Lin's thoughts are flying again.
That's right, Boss Lin is distracted again, and he has to figure out why the $3oo plus IcQ authorization on their mobile communication device terminals...... It's not an exclusive license yet...... Will you be able to get a % stake plus exclusive access to the RIm platform, exclusive RIm platform? This was never thought of in Lin Zheng's head.
But Lin Zheng is Lin Zheng after all, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Zheng figured out where the problem was, and he couldn't say that he slapped his thigh hard: Nima! Lao Tzu forgot about jì, only remembered the cold and noble RIm company in the BlackBerry era, and the era when everyone took a BlackBerry mobile phone to install B, but forgot that the current RIm has nothing to get hold of, and the current RIm is in the darkest period before dawn, and is struggling desperately...... Although they know that their RIm company is in the darkest period before the dawn, JimBa1si11ie can't know ah, in JimBa1si11ie's opinion, this darkness before the dawn, the ghost knows if it is a dark year or a dark 1o year? It's been 11 years since RIm was founded in 1984 and this year, but has RIm made any remarkable achievements in the past 11 years?
No! Don't say that the proud achievements, even if the general achievements have not been achieved, it is amazing that they have survived to the present and have a little fame in the industry, but it is nothing more than that, and IcQ, which is now on the cusp of the limelight and the high stage of development, is completely different! The fact that IcQ can take the initiative to extend an olive branch to their RIm company and give up the authorization of mobile communication equipment terminals is probably enough to make RIm faint happily.
Don't forget jì, when RIm is trying their best to engage in two-way paging, there is a fierce behemoth above their heads: Motorola is entrenched, two-way paging has always been the traditional territory of Motorola, once RIm makes Motorola unhappy, casually stretch out a little finger and crush them in minutes, which is no different from crushing an ant.
Tut...... At this point, Lin Zheng smacked his lips, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart: If RIm took the initiative to find his door, would things get better?
But the next moment, he threw this idea away from the Black Sea, didn't RIm already plan to raise funds before, he didn't have the money to cooperate with others, and he had money in his hands to cooperate with others, which were two completely different mentalities: with money in his hands, he didn't panic in his heart.
But anyway, Benier did a really good job in this matter, even if he stumbled by mistake, but in the end, it was himself who benefited the most, and after a while, Lin Zheng finally spoke, "Lao Bei, you have completed this task very well, well, what kind of reward do you hope to get?" ”
Yes, Lin Zheng decided to give Benier a chance to speak: the value of RIm will still be reflected in the end, and it is not a good thing to treat his subordinates too harshly.
