Chapter 273 Rejection
In Su Wenshan's opinion, this offer is already very sincere, which means that SAL only relies on its own technology and hundreds of R&D personnel to directly own half of the equity of a billion-dollar color TV manufacturer. Such good things are difficult to find with lanterns.
However, Su Wenshan has no choice. In the field of color TV, Haiwen has never been able to make a breakthrough. Compared with refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, Haiwen's color TV business is simply negligible. The former can rank among the top in the world's market share, while the latter cannot enter the top 5 in the domestic market.
The color TV business, which has never been able to make breakthrough progress, has almost become a heart-wrenching problem for Su Wenshan. Although Haiwen has its own backlight source, audio and video decoding chips and other upstream core components research and development and production capabilities, these things are not as good as Su Wenshan said in terms of image display quality, clarity, sound effects, etc.
Basically, the quality of Shanghai Wencai TV is not satisfactory. Not to mention that compared with giants like Samsung and Sony, they do not have any advantages even with domestic manufacturers.
The so-called smart TV launched by Android system only borrows some concepts for marketing, which is far from real smart TVs, and it cannot be recognized by consumers in terms of effects or interactive interfaces.
So Haiwen's color TV business is so embarrassing that it's not good to die.
Like Mayor Liu, after receiving the declaration of SAL's entry into smart TV, Su Wenshan also devoted himself to studying this company with an extremely strong rise and fall.
In terms of the technology and actual effects of navigation instruments and mobile phones produced by SAL, Su Wenshan is also very optimistic about SAL's two core technologies, embedded intelligent operating system and voice control. In his opinion, this can basically be regarded as a breakthrough point for current smart TVs.
However, he made up his mind a little late. When he made up his mind, he actually heard that Cai Siqiang had been invited to the island city by the mayor. As a competitor in the same city, Su Wenshan certainly knew that the government was partial to Haisheng, a company controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. No, Su Wenshan did nothing about him, whether it was a welcome ceremony or a lunch.
If Haisheng Group reaches an agreement with Sal, Haiwen's color TV business will basically not need to be done.
So Su Wenshan decided to take action directly and pry the walls of the municipal government. He has a huge influence in the island city. Of course, there is no problem with asking about Cai Siqiang's movements.
Seeing Cai Siqiang appearing on the beach, Su Wenshan decided to take advantage of Cai Siqiang's time to negotiate with the city and take conditions that Cai Siqiang could not refuse to take over.
"Fifty percent of the shares," Cai Siqiang smiled, thinking that Boss Su is quite reliable, but unfortunately he still doesn't know our determination and real strength in this field. "Let's consider it first. We will talk to several leaders in the city tomorrow, why don't we talk about this today?"
Since he got the other party's offer, Cai Siqiang didn't want to mess with him anymore. If he said something like theirs, there were basically few opportunities to change. This was not a vegetable market to buy vegetables, and he could bargain every penny.
Su Wenshan offered such a price, and Haiwen did not want to give up control of the smart TV business at least, so there was nothing to say about shares. Cai Siqiang also understood that for Su Wenshan, billions of RMB were really nothing, so he did not propose to let Salt inject funds during cooperation.
In a word, Su Wenshan does not lack funds, but technology, so the most urgent thing in this cooperation is sal technology.
When Su Wenshan heard that Cai Siqiang had shirked, he was obviously a little surprised. He made such a big concession and showed such strong sincerity in cooperation. Cai Siqiang was not satisfied? Thinking of this, Su Wenshan frowned, "Does Boss Cai think that the city can offer better conditions than this? Or do you think that our Haiwen is not worthy of cooperation at all?"
"Haha, Boss Su misunderstood." Cai Siqiang didn't want him to think he was bargaining with him. "In fact, when we were discussing internally, we hoped to be able to manage the smart TV business. We are still used to doing it one-sidedly, so I'm really sorry."
If you don’t pay a penny, you can immediately own a home appliance company that integrates production, supply and marketing, with annual sales of billions. If you want to talk about it, this is really a very generous offer, which fully reflects Su Wenshan’s respect for technical achievements, so it is difficult for him to understand Cai Siqiang’s choice.
Judging from the prospects of smart TVs, this is a very potential market. Otherwise, Su Wenshan would not have been reluctant to let go of the color TV business. With color TV sales, there is only a few points in the company's sales. Whether there is this area really has little impact.
But considering its potential, it is important to know that smart TVs are just starting out now. If they have a leading edge in this field, it is possible to redefine the purpose and concept of color TVs just like Apple entered the mobile phone industry back then.
Unfortunately, Cai Siqiang was able to agree with his analysis of the market prospects, but he did not agree with his share allocation ratio. If SAL agreed to cooperate in this way, then 50% of the shares would mean that he would be greatly constrained in the operation of this business in the future, and he might even become someone else's wedding dress.
It doesn't cost much money to acquire the color TV business of a domestic home appliance company. SAL is not short of this money now, so why leave such a big hidden danger? Besides, Cai Siqiang is also very optimistic about the prospects of this business. He doesn't want to sell too much future benefits. If he really wants to make a new business worth tens of billions of dollars, what is the acquisition cost you pay now?
Therefore, the best plan in Cai Siqiang's mind is to achieve 100% holding. Even if it cannot reach this level, at least it must achieve absolute holding. It is not that you cannot afford this money, so why should you be slapped?
Su Wenshan naturally couldn't imagine that the young man in front of him was used to eating alone. Although he had a deep understanding of sal's products and technology, he did not study the young people in the sal's family.
For the young people of SAL, who have risen smoothly, SAL has not encountered any problems that cannot be solved by itself so far. Even if it encounters a patent blockade initiated by Apple, it still handles it by itself. Therefore, it has rarely considered this external cooperation. Apart from working with Sanda Games in the early stage, there is no other second.
Su Wenshan does not understand the tradition of sal, so it is inevitable to encounter a wall.
