Henry soon sent an acquisition team to the UK to prepare to acquire psion.

psion company was established very early, dedicated to the development of mobile phone system, its idea is to design a simple and practical mobile phone operating system! However, before mobile phones were expensive and the market was not big, psion company, no matter how powerful it is, could not make a lot of money, and there was even a risk of losing money!

At that time, most mobile phone manufacturers were using their own mobile phone systems. It was too difficult for psion to make money from mobile phone systems! The main reason why psion can show up is that the company's later PDA (handheld computer) enjoys a high reputation in Europe! However, they are all imitating Apple's products, but now Apple's pda products have not yet come out, and psion has not been able to find a target for plagiarism, so they are a little miserable.

It is the world's first handheld computer, and its chip was designed by the aRm company! Therefore, Henry has a certain understanding of the opening schedule! Probably, two-thirds of the product development has been completed. It will be completed this year and all testing work will be completed, and mass production will be possible next year!

However, because neton could not find its position in the market and the demand was low, it took Apple to the abyss again!

After Henry's negotiating team arrived in the UK, they had more than two weeks of negotiations with the founder of psion, David Porter! David Porter resolutely refused to sell the company, but he was willing to accept financing!

David Porter is a shrewd Englishman. He predicts that more and more people will use mobile phones in the future, and the market for mobile phones will be very huge. If psion insists on opening the mobile phone system, it will be successful! !

Henry asked the negotiator: "How much money is psion willing to accept? How much will I hold?"

"Financing 5 million US dollars to hold 3o% of shares!!" The negotiator finished, and added, "If the financing is successful, Mr. Williams. You will be the largest shareholder of psion! And the founder David Porter's The share is only 25%, but it is already the second largest shareholder! There are eight shareholders in psion, large and small! In addition, the company is not listed yet!"

When Henry heard the words, he couldn't help frowning and thinking. He was considering whether to have absolute control. After a while, he asked: "Is psion not willing to accept more financing? I think it is better to get the absolute control of the company!"

"Mr. Williams, this is probably difficult! They think. The financing of five million US dollars is enough for the time being! Of course, this is just an excuse. Who would think that the money is too small? The main reason is that the psion company's The management believes that they have already given us a lot of 3o% of the shares, and they don’t want us to get more shares to control the company’s exhibition!!!"

Henry twisted his eyebrows and said with disdain: "I don't control the company's exhibition, can it show faster!!"

The negotiator over there quickly complimented: "Of course. Mr. Williams, no one in the world knows about your ability. If psion can develop quickly under your wise leadership!"

Henry turned a deaf ear to flattery. He was thinking about the pros and cons. The Symbian system's own architecture had big problems, such as the incompatibility of multi-platform third-party software. In addition, every time the Symbian system was updated, there were two third-party Symbian systems before and after. The software is incompatible again. Software developers must reopen the software for each Symbian system. In this case, third-party software companies operating on Symbian have to spend more manpower and material resources, thereby increasing additional costs!

Who is willing to pay more money for third-party software companies? ,

Although the Saipan company also has these problems, it is a pity. It can't be solved!

The system is like that, how is it done?

Therefore, after Apple's app1estore came out, third-party software companies have shifted their positions one after another! !

Symbian's shortcomings are far more than these, if psion company agrees to be acquired, then Henry may make people spend great efforts to improve the system kernel in the early stage of the system. And in the future exhibition process, I will make more suggestions. However, psion is obviously unwilling to be acquired and missed an opportunity!

However, if it is changed, I am afraid it will take a lot of time. Come on, don't change it at all, just move forward in the direction of the original Symbian system exhibition, which just meets the needs of this era, and then wait for the end of Apple's system!

And you can use the Symbian system to make money with your mobile phone. The Symbian system has low cost and does not require high configuration. The machine can also drive it, and the current hardware level is just not that good! Instead, I went to develop a more advanced system, perhaps too far ahead, and the hardware conditions may not be able to keep up.

If you fail to obtain the absolute controlling rights of the psion company, then the Saipan system must be authorized to go out sooner or later. In addition, the company's management will definitely attract more shareholders, thereby diluting their shares, such as adding new shareholders. There may be Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola

And if you own a stake in psion, you will be able to get the authorization of the Symbian system!

Since everyone has a Symbian system, what you fight for is strength, and each has its own ability to grab the market!

And you can cheat by designing some classic models, and the sales are not big? ! Who can rob yourself? In addition, Apple is going to die in a few years, and it happens to be able to acquire it, and then focus on the Apple system, and also open the capacitive screen, multi-touch, touch interaction specifications, etc., when everything is ready, Symbian The shares of the system were sold to Nokia and other companies to cheat them!

At that time, launch the app1e mobile phone by yourself, and kill all mobile phones immediately! !

Henry thought about it for a while, and finally issued an order to the negotiator: "You tell them that I agree to their request and I am willing to raise 10 million US dollars, and only take 3o% of the shares of psion!"

"Mr. Williams, 5 million can get 3o% of the shares!" After hearing Henry's words, the negotiator was slightly taken aback, and then reminded.

"I know this, but I have an extra five million dollars. There is only one request," Henry paused and said, "I hope that the mobile phone system they opened can be licensed to the mobile phone manufacturing company under my name for free. Remember, including A new system for each generation!!"

"Yes, I remembered it!"

"Hmm!" Henry said when he thought of hanging up the phone suddenly, "By the way, I suggest that they change the company's name to Symbian, and the mobile phone system is called Symbian. If they don't want to, It doesn't matter, I don't force it!"

"Ok!"

The negotiator came to psion with Henry's order. After he relayed Henry's words, everyone was surprised, especially when Henry raised 10 million US dollars with only 3o% of the shares plus free system authorization requirements!

David Porter and others discussed it for a while, and then agreed with a smile! Henry is a major shareholder, and now he has invested another five million dollars. It should be a little bit more!

"After our discussion, we decided to agree to Henry Williams' request!!" David Potter said!

"Well, that would be great! By the way, Mr. David Porter, Mr. Williams suggested changing the name of psion to Symbian, and the mobile phone system opened is called Symbian. Would you mind it?"

"Oh, no problem!!" David Potter thought for a while, then replied with a smile.

"that's OK!"

Subsequently, the two parties quickly signed a financing agreement, but in the content of the agreement specifically stated a requirement that Henry, as the largest shareholder, Saipan Company will license each generation of Saipan system to the mobile phone company established by Henry for free!

David Porter and others did not realize this trap, UU reading www.uukanshu. com or they don’t care at all, thinking to themselves, no matter how many phones Henry’s mobile phone company sells, how many phones can be sold! 10 million units? How could one million units be considered good! !

After signing the agreement, the negotiating team quickly left with the agreement!

At this time, David Porter asked the executives and shareholders of several companies around him: "Huh? Psion, oh, no, it should be called Symbian! Don’t Henry Williams like this name? His name is Saipan. Hehe, did you hold a press conference to tell the outside media about Mr. Williams's stake in our company!"

"Oh, if we hold a press conference, the whole world will know the name of our company!!"

David Potter laughed and said loudly, "Yes, that's what I meant!!"

"Oh the company is going to be famous, global mobile phone manufacturing companies will pay attention to us, haha"
