Rebirth of the Tech Madman

In fact, Tang Huan did not deceive each other in order to put pressure on Grove. He did contact Motorola at the same time, and he also used the foresight of the rebirth to get in touch with the third generation of the Galvin family. Christopher Galvin. You know, Motorola at this stage is still in the Galvin Dynasty.

Motorola’s earliest history can be traced back to the Galvin Manufacturing Company, which produced batteries in 1928. After the introduction of the car radio, the founder, Paul Galvin, combined the "" in "" and the suffix "ola" to create Today’s brand "".

The reason why this suffix was singled out was because it was popular at the time. In the early 20th century, some companies that produced phonographs, radios and other audio equipment liked to use the suffix "-ola". The most famous of these was the old phonograph. .

Paul Galvin, who has grown up from various business setbacks before, has basically entered a smooth fast lane in business development after founding Motorola, but in 1942, a robber broke into a house and killed him. His wife's accident still brought huge trauma to her personal life.

At this time, Paul Galvin's only son, Bob Galvin, has entered Motorola's work.

Speaking of which, Paul Galvin has devoted himself to the cultivation of successors to his wealth. Bob Galvin was often taken by his side since he was a child in order to get in touch with the environment of corporate management. Under the influence of ears and eyes. Bob Galvin lived up to expectations and performed well, and was gradually promoted to Motorola's deputy general manager and even general manager.

In 1959, Paul Galvin, who was only 64 years old, died of illness. Bob Galvin took control of Motorola smoothly, and it has continued to the present, which is the second generation of the Galvin dynasty.

Under the leadership of Paul Galvin, Motorola's brilliance and performance are number one, and it is countless in terms of quality control. Created the famous "" process improvement system.

According to the development of historical trajectory, Motorola will shine brightly in the communications field in the future, but it has also stumbled in areas such as the "Iridium" program.

Paul Galvin’s successor is his son Christopher Galvin, but he opposed the divestiture of the semiconductor business. Under the pressure of shareholders, he announced his resignation in 2003, and the inheritance of the Galvin dynasty ended in the third generation.

As for Motorola, it has carried out a series of asset reorganizations.

First of all, in 1999, the semiconductor component division of its semiconductor business was divided into r or ON Semiconductor, and it went public in 2000.

In 2003, when Christopher Galvin announced his resignation, Motorola posted 200 million US dollars and completely split the semiconductor business. Incorporated into a company called Freescale, and went public in 2004.

In 2011, Motorola carried out a business spin-off. Eventually became two listed companies, namely Motorola Systems and Motorola Mobile.

In fact, the former is considered to have inherited the old Motorola's mantle, while the latter was divested out because of the serious business losses of the mobile device department. In 2012, it was acquired by Google at a cost of $12.5 billion.

When Google got its wish, it obtained 17,000 Motorola Mobility patents worldwide. After striving to ensure that his Android can deal with the patent encirclement of Apple and other companies without any worries, he sold the set-top box business to a cable TV equipment manufacturer group at a price of 2.35 billion U.S. dollars. The remaining part of Motorola Mobile was finally acquired by Lenovo for US$2.9 billion.

On the surface. Motorola’s final outcome seems to be a dismantling, selling, selling, but in fact, how can the Americans be so stupid, only some of its divisions are separated out, but its strength is still not to be underestimated. After all, it is not the essence of selling, but It is enough to do what you need.

But in any case, although Paul Galvin passed on his wealth to future generations, the business empire he built-Motorola has already been spent in his family.

Fortunately, in this time and space, these changes have not yet occurred. Motorola is in the second generation of the Galvin dynasty. Tang Huan’s information asymmetry advantage is still valid, and he has contact with the future third-generation successor, Christopher Galvin. , Also has an extraordinary meaning as usual.

Although it is the future leader, it is impossible for Christopher Galvin to directly occupy a high position. He still has to start from the grassroots step by step and work steadily. The training process can be described as very strict.

As early as in college, Christopher Galvin worked part-time at Motorola. After graduation, he started working at Motorola full-time in 1973, starting from a grassroots salesperson and currently a sales and marketing manager.

In the original time and space, Christopher Galvin entered the Motorola high-level since 1983, as for sitting on the throne of Motorola's chairman and chief executive officer, it will have to wait until 1997.

Tang Huan’s method of contacting Christopher Galvin is simple, rude and without technical content. After getting the phone number of the other party’s office, he directly called and asked, ea wants to purchase 50,000 CPUs, how does Motorola quote?

The prince also needs real and reliable performance to build his prestige, and it was successfully developed last year. It is in the early stage of expanding the market. Tang Huan’s order is simply a pillow when he is dozing off. Christopher Gao Irvine immediately took the initiative to ask for a visit and interview in detail.

After Christopher Galvin finished his homework and learned about the information of this big customer in detail, he couldn't help being surprised, but he didn't expect to meet a big fish.

Now ea sells more than 400,000 Cassidy game consoles in the North American market every month. It is said that at least two of them are used in each game console. This kind of cpu is a low-cost processor developed by engineers who left the Motorola project team. Device.

It seems that ea is going to launch a new product, abandoning the basis, and looking at the latest and more powerful one. Christopher Galvin finally came to this inference.

So, after meeting with Tang Huan, Christopher Galvin tried it a bit, but Tang Huan’s answer was vague, but it surprised him even more. It was not only used by the next generation of Xiaobawang game consoles, but there were others. product.

During the conversation, Tang Huan was also carefully observing Christopher Galvin, who was just in his early years. He said that three generations of aristocrats were born. The other party obviously has this innate advantage, even though the two are bargaining impatiently, Chris TOEFL? Galvin can also show a strong sense of modern entrepreneurial morality and classical gentleman-like demeanor.

Tang Huan will be able to play with the elite, and the meeting between the two laid a foundation for harmony from the very beginning.

At this time, Motorola has no large-scale typical application examples of Apple computers, HP printers, game consoles, etc., and this considerable number of orders from ea is undoubtedly a hymn to the prospects.

Tang Huan's expectation is still great. He hopes that Motorola can support the feature of virtual memory as soon as possible, so that Zheru can provide multi-tasking functions at the operating system level.

Although Christopher Galvin did not understand the obscure technology, it did not prevent him from recording seriously. The effect of the Galvin family on cultivating heirs can be seen. Xiangjiang's family inheritance is obviously inferior to others, at least not. The habit of dude.

Of course, Tang Huan also put forward the requirement of a second manufacturer. This concept has been put forward for many years by the US Department of Defense, which purchases a large number of high-tech products. Motorola, who has benefited from military orders, is naturally familiar with this mechanism. Christopher Galvin, a salesman, ~www.wuxiahere.com~, is far from knowing that Tang Huan, a high-tech cheater, has the ability to know autumn. He immediately agreed and will discuss this issue seriously when he returns.

In the original time and space, with the improvement of the production process, the running speed of the series of CPUs has repeatedly increased. In 1985, it was designed by Hitachi and Motorola jointly launched the use of technology with the frequency reaching 20mhz.

So throughout the 1980s, excellent performance has a long life, Apple's sh has proved this.

Therefore, Tang Huan was very sincere in cooperation. After the negotiations, he not only accompanied Christopher Galvin, a famous elite in wine tasting and golfing, but also took him to visit the Shennong Fund and Zhe Confucianism and ea even showed him the prototype of the 386 plan, which can be said to have achieved the ultimate in public relations.

As the understanding deepened, Christopher Galvin became more aware of Tang Huan’s value. If he was really only a one-off deal, then he would not be worthy to take control of Motorola in the future, so he took advantage of the olive branch that Tang Huan frequently threw out. He also responded positively to kindness, and became a good friend, and Tang Huan also inquired some information about Motorola's communications industry from the other party. (To be continued)
