In fact, the company that first proposed the concept of the global Internet should be Google, and the early Android systems actually had built-in satellite Internet access ports.However, Huaxia mobile phones in parallel time and space have removed this interface for well-known reasons, and this interface is actually preparing for Google's global Internet.Google has thought about many methods, such as high-orbit geosynchronous satellites and ground-orbit satellites, combined with high-altitude balloon equipment to form a three-tier network architecture.In addition to high-altitude balloons, Google also thought about using principles such as unmanned aircraft and hotspot relay of the mobile phone itself.But because it is too complicated and involves too many interest groups, Google's plan has actually been in slow progress.

It has to be said that Google's plan also makes the Titan Group salivate.Think about it, if a company can control the entire mobile Internet and its terminals, this is simply the prototype of Umbrella!This is completely a super big company that can determine the life and death of a small country.But Liu Miao also knows where the cost is. Don't satellites cost money?Even if Iridium sells at a discount, this is an unavoidable hard cost.Also, where are the future operating costs?How much does a communications satellite cost?How much does a rocket cost to launch a communications satellite?You also have to consider things like failed rocket launches and satellites that suddenly don't work.

Even if all these are done, do you think the major communication companies are vegetarian?Why can't the roaming cost go down?Why have you been tossing about one-way charging for so many years?Why is mobile Internet access so expensive?To put it bluntly, communication companies want to make money.If you are allowed to build a free global Internet, do you still want to eat?You are the only company that co-authors the world to make money. Are we all going to go bankrupt and close our doors?And once these communication giants close their doors, how much less will the country's tax revenue be?At the same time, how much should the employment pressure increase?So the countries standing behind these companies will not let these things happen.Therefore, Google's plan is basically just looking at the flowers in the fog.

"Mr. Liu, do you mean that you plan to acquire Motorola's Iridium?" A vice president asked, "Although Iridium is currently the world's largest and newest satellite communication company with global coverage other than maritime satellite communications, but I have to remind you that this company has been losing money since its inception. Even after several asset restructurings, its debt ratio will still make Titan Group bear an unbearable debt crisis. And the global Internet plan, just look at It just looks beautiful."

"Of course I understand everyone's thoughts. I have no plan to promote the so-called 'global free Internet'." Liu Miao thought to himself, I am not a big company supported by the US gang, and I always want to use universal values. Save the world.

"My idea is that we need an international communication company to support Titan Group's future business. For example, in the future, when our game company wants to achieve global server integration or cross-continental PK battles, what kind of communication company should we look for? Responsible? Therefore, we might as well plan ahead and form Iridium International Communications Company to meet our ideas. As for the profit point, please believe that, first of all, we can provide global positioning services. American GPS companies have been criticized by European and Asian countries for their safety. ; and the Beidou project launched by Huaxia currently only covers parts of East Asia and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, so our Iridium company has a lot to do. At the same time, we can also rely on the Iridium global positioning system and cooperate with our Titan mobile phone to make a global emergency call Positioning system. This is free and public welfare. We can entrust this part of the business to a non-profit public welfare organization. This is equivalent to endorsing our security and neutrality, and it can also improve the company's brand. Secondly, Our Iridium company, like Inmarsat, can make calls anywhere on the earth's surface. And we don't need a special Inmarsat phone, most of the Titan phones have this function; of course, if you want to go to some In remote areas, we can suggest to buy our custom-made Titan mobile phone. Last but not least, as a multinational company, our communication security is also part of the company's security, so it is also necessary to set up a communication company for internal use .”

Liu Miao's three reasons completely convinced the board of directors, especially the last reason that everyone felt was very necessary.Why was the BlackBerry mobile phone the first choice of high-ranking officials in Europe and America for a time?That's because the high customization and openness of mobile phones make BlackBerry mobile phones the first choice for internal communication of political figures in various countries.Although Liu Miao doesn't think his mobile phone is as attractive as that of the President of the United States, he still thinks it's better to be careful.The company's internal executive communications have been required to use wired telephones as much as possible, so as to facilitate internal control.But after all, Titan Group is a multinational company, and they need external lines, especially international lines, to serve themselves.Therefore, the acquisition of an international communication company is also necessary, so the marketing department responsible for the acquisition began to investigate Iridium and its suitable operating company.

Although Iridium was regarded as a loss-making business by many investors, to Liu Miao's surprise, Motorola rejected Titan Group's offer and made it clear that they had no plan to sell Iridium.Seeing this reply, Liu Miao also deliberately contacted commercial spies, and the investigation opinions given by the spies also showed that Motorola did not plan to sell Iridium.Liu Miao was wondering why Motorola didn't sell Iridium at this critical moment?After all, for Motorola, selling Iridium can not only reduce losses, but more importantly, it can extract a sum of cash to alleviate the company's current dilemma.

While Liu Miao was thinking, Liu Miao suddenly caught something, and he immediately called the group's internal information director over. "Whatever you do, I'm now wondering if Google is making an acquisition request for Motorola!"

After giving the order, Liu Miao sighed in her chair that she was really careless.He actually neglected Google's coveted interest in Motorola. Whether it was Motorola's patented technology in the communications field or Iridium, Google couldn't stop.Since there is an acquisition request from Google, Motorola will naturally ignore its acquisition of Iridium.After all, Motorola also knows that without Iridium, Motorola's attraction to Google is at least half less.Liu Miao did not speak, quietly waiting for the intelligence department's feedback.And the intelligence department of the Titan Group is indeed capable of working, and they quickly found the information about the secret contact between Motorola and Google.

After receiving this information, Liu Miao suddenly became interested. He told the investment department: "From now on, our acquisition target is no longer Iridium, but the parent company of Iridium—Motorola. That's right. , ordered the public relations department to send this news to all the media in the world as soon as possible. I want them to make this acquisition the hottest financial topic in the world within a week, and I want to force people from Motorola to come out and meet with me."

The public relations department of Titan Group started working immediately after receiving the news. They first issued a newsletter to the world's most important news agencies. Immediately afterwards, major news channels and financial channels also received the news that Titan Group offered to acquire Motorola.Although many financial experts saw this news as "April Fool's Day news", they soon discovered the meaning of the Titan Group. "Yes, although many experts think that the relationship between the Titan Group and Motorola is like the relationship between General Motors and Hasbro toy cars. But we have to admit the fact that the Titan Group is just a communication industry. An upstart." On the screen of the Bloomberg TV international channel, an economic expert is explaining, "Titan Group lacks patent foundation and technology accumulation, so the current beauty of Titan Group is like a garden in the sky. The foundation. That's why the Titan Group wants to acquire Motorola, using Motorola's technology accumulation and patent base to build a great Titan electronics empire. If I were the US government, I would definitely prevent such a thing from happening. One that is not the US Corporations control the entire electronics industry, which is too dangerous for the United States!"

At this time, in a conference room of Motorola, senior officials of the entire company were watching this analysis program.When it came to "the U.S. government should stop this acquisition", one person turned off the TV and said, "Tell me, gentlemen! Should we accept Google's offer or choose the embrace of the Chinese people?" ? When did we become so popular? I hate it, but that's what we have to deal with right now."

The executives of Motorola did not expect that overnight, Motorola seemed to have returned to the moment when it was prosperous and prosperous.Every mobile phone produced by the company is regarded as a classic by professionals; the company has endless money to spend every day; and their managers are like big stars, every time they go out, they will be surrounded by reporters and fans, just for Get any word about the company's new products.It's a pity that they also know that the excitement at the moment has nothing to do with them, it's just because they are being targeted by two behemoths.They suddenly feel a little sad, they don't want to be someone's dinner yet, but the media can't wait to tell them that it is an honor to be eaten by someone.But they also know that their destiny no longer belongs to them.

"My suggestion is Google. First of all, we are all American companies, and there are not so many review barriers in the acquisition process." Finally, an executive said, "Secondly, Google's current price is the highest. No shame."

"That's because the Titan Group doesn't know what our price is!" Immediately someone objected, "God! The Chinese people are so rich, and the cash reserves of the Titan Group don't know how much. Since we are going to sell, Why not find someone with deep pockets? As for the so-called acquisition barriers, those gentlemen from the Federal Trade Commission will not offend the Chinese people for us! Besides, Titan Group, tsk tsk, it is the most perfect in the hearts of North American consumers company!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense if you are angry." The president dissuaded, "The quotation for Titan was returned, saying that we have no plans to be acquired for the time being, but don't talk too hard. In addition, tell the people at Google that the price depends on the price." Let's do it!"

"Hehe, they are really moved." Liu Miao said with a smile after seeing the letter of intent returned by Motorola. "Notify the colleagues in the acquisition department that we have something to do!"
