Chapter 363 David Ellison
Spreadtrum Communications is now mainly in China and Silicon Valley. Elites recruited from Canada's Nortel Network will also be moved to Silicon Valley. Although the labor costs may be higher, it is convenient for management. Based on the comprehensive cost, it may even save a lot. There are also Magic City in China, Yanjing (acquired Lianxin and has a strategic cooperative relationship with Datang Telecom), Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Chengdu.
Spreadtrum recently acquired a wifi chip company in Yanjing and is preparing to join forces with Datang Telecom to acquire Nortel's wireless department. Wifi is almost everywhere in the future. Even in the era of the Internet of Things, wifi is an indispensable part, so investment in this area is necessary. It also acquired a startup team named Quanzhi in Zhuhai, which is launching the first chip for Guoke's tablet. The company was originally engaged in the development of digital player mp4, power management chips, etc. In order to hurry, Spreadtrum acquired this small company with strong technical strength. It can be said that it is now working hard to move forward with full power. Without the premise of stabilizing the country, it is too anxious to go to Israel. Is it too urgent? Li Liyou has concerns in this regard.
However, Spreadtrum Communications also has technical cooperation with an Israeli company called Ceva. It is a publicly listed semiconductor intellectual property company specializing in DSP (programmable digital signal processor) processor technology, authorizing a series of programmable digital signal processor (DSP) cores and dedicated platforms for vision, imaging, audio and voice, and communication technology, including wireless and wired modems, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Serial Ata , and Serial connection SSSI. That is to say, Spreadtrum still has some understanding of Israel and will not be clueless if it is necessary to carry out activities there. However, the most critical technical person in charge does not have the right candidate. This candidate must not only have technology, but also be Jewish. After all, it is Israel, a Jewish country located in the Middle East that is always facing the threat of war.
Zhou Shi knew that there was no way to find Li Liyou, so he had to entrust a headhunter in Silicon Valley. Fortunately, the talent density here is the best in the world, so finding a suitable candidate should be no problem.
The headhunters have not yet given a candidate. A middle-aged man with greasy head and flour noodles found Zhou Shi. A rich second-generation who was bigger than him, David Ellison found Zhou Shi.
"Hello, simon!" David, who was familiar with him, hurriedly greeted Zhou Shi when he saw him.
"Uh, hello, you're David, right?" Zhou Shi
"Yes, I'm! I heard Larry say, you can let me invest in Marvel superhero movies, right?" David Ellison
Zhou Shi was speechless. Before you could help me get things done, you would have to pay the price and ask me to take care of this naughty child. It’s true.
"Yes, although Marvel is not short of money now, we welcome other investments to join." Zhou Shi's words are not wrong. Disney did not deduct Marvel's funds. The huge sale of Invincible Hulk and Iron Man has greatly alleviated Marvel's funds. The only regret is that there are too many copyrights left out. With the popularity of Marvel Heroes, the possibility of recovering those copyrights has become increasingly reduced.
"That's great. I like Marvel very much. I like the superheroes inside. Can you take me to see it?" David Ellison
md, Zhou Shi doesn't believe that a rich son like him will have no way to visit Marvel. You should know that their long-term market value is less than $1 billion, so how can such a small company be placed in the eyes of a crazy man like Oracle Larry Ellison?
Zhou Shi had nothing to do. He hadn't been to Marvel for a long time, so he happened to take the opportunity to learn about the situation.
During the financial crisis, Marvel also reduced its spending. In addition to expanding the surrounding areas of the two movies last year, the only one that is being produced is "Thor", which is striving to be launched next year. The next movie has not yet begun planning and needs to be further observed in the market changes. Although it has achieved initial success, they dare not be radical. In addition to the official publicity and exchange centers of Friends, Twitter and youtube, they have recently opened Facebook's official accounts to expand channels for communication with fans. This is also Zhou Shi's greatest contribution to Marvel. His leading propaganda ideas and communication channels are the guarantee of the success of Marvel movies. Kevin Feige also said that in the communication with fans, he has gained more sense of accomplishment and gained a lot of improvement opinions.
Larry's naughty child is obviously not very mature now. He seems to admire Zhou Shi very much and has also said a few compliments, but when he sees Zhou Shi's consumption level, such as his car Saab, a natural sense of pride emerges.
"Simon, you can't buy a car, wouldn't you give you a shelby supercars" David Ellison said generously, even if you have money, what's wrong with me? The car I use is more advanced than you.
"shelby? What kind of car is this, how much does it cost?" Not to mention that Zhou Shi only knows a few major automobile companies, even after he acquired Saab, he also knows less about foreign car brands. What is luxury cars? His pursuit has never been this.
"This car has a maximum speed of 411.76 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest sports car in the world, with a sci-fi appearance and full of attack power. It is a representative of the American spirit that combines speed and power. It costs more than $7 million!" David Ellison
"Oh, how much is this company worth?" Zhou Shi asked again
"What's wrong, his company? I don't know." David
"That's a pity. Before I buy a car, I will check if I can buy this company, such as Saab Automobile Company, and we bought it." Zhou Shi
David Ellison was immediately hit by a critical hit of tens of millions of pounds. Simon's invisible pretentiousness was so powerful that I really shouldn't brag in front of him.
He came to Marvel speechlessly. He didn't dare to swear Larry Ellison's MiG-29. After all, there is nothing to brag about with a stable fighter. This is not before 9.11, it is impossible for Larry Ellison to let himself go again!
Kevin Feige warmly received Zhou Shi and asked someone to come and accompany the rich second generation of naughty kids to go shopping in the company. The two of them started talking.
"What does this rich second generation want to do?" Kevin
"If you want to invest in our superhero, I think he is the sucker, so you will bring it here. You can decide for yourself." Zhou Shi did not say the agreement with Larry Ellison to invest in movies. There is nothing to refuse. At most, you will be more confident in the future. Marvel movies do not need external investment. Now, with Zhou Shi's invisible guarantee, he will reject investors when funds are needed. Marvel should not be so awesome. After all, these people only share the box office revenue, and the subsequent copyright revenue has nothing to do with them. This is the case in Zhou Shi's investment in Batman and Avatar.
"Okay, I understand. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to recently." Kevin Feige suddenly whispered, "Someone seems to be contacting the company's major shareholder and preparing to acquire Marvel. I don't know who it is."
mmmp, what's the matter? Can't he let him live in peace? But you can't blame others. Reverse investment is the only way to expand the industry.
