Psion company''s birthplace is unknown. If you want to get the attention and favor of mobile phone manufacturers, you can undoubtedly use Henry''s fame to hype yourself, and the effect is the best!

    For Henry, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

    The advantage is that after Symbian becomes famous, the number of mobile phone manufacturers using the system will increase, so they can get more support from third-party software companies. However, at present, there is no need for any third-party software, technology and hardware have not kept up, mobile phones can not run too many programs!

    As for the disadvantages, it should be said that Henry''s chance to get rich is gone

    However, David Porter and others held a press conference without informing Henry. The next day, they announced to the outside media, "Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, is very interested in our psion company and has made a large amount of financing for psion company. At present, Henry Williams holds 30% of the shares and is the largest individual shareholder of psion company!"

    Psion is not a big company. What''s the point of holding a press conference. The reporters were going to cope and leave. How could I have heard such news!

    "Oh, Mr. David Porter, it sounds a bit surprising," the reporters said as they took photos! With all due respect, psion didn''t seem to be famous before. I can''t understand why Mr. Henry Williams invested in your company? Mr. David Porter, are you kidding? "

    "This reporter, first of all, I must solemnly remind you, how can we make fun of such things?! Although psion is not famous, it doesn''t mean our products and technology are not good! Since Mr. Henry Williams is willing to invest in us, it must be because our company has something good in it! " When David Porter heard the reporter''s words, he felt indignant. Then he said to the reporter, "in addition, we have all signed the financing agreement. If you don''t believe it, you can ask Mr. Henry Williams yourself!"

    "Now that Mr. Henry Williams has invested in psion, can you tell Mr. David Porter how many dollars Mr. Henry Williams has invested?"

    "I''m sorry, it''s a trade secret. I won''t disclose it!" David Porter said faintly.

    After answering the reporter''s question, David Porter began to talk about the company''s product - Symbian system!

    "In addition, at the request of Henry Williams, psion company changed its name to Symbian company, and the mobile phone system launched by the company is also called Symbian system. This system..." David Porter began to introduce the advantages of Symbian system in detail, and talked about it for almost half an hour before the press conference ended!

    The next day, the headline of the British newspaper was: "Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, invested in psion company of the United Kingdom. He was very optimistic about the mobile phone system of the company and became the largest shareholder of the company!"

    In the light of Henry Williams, British TV stations reported psion company one after another. The host said: "psion company was founded in 1980. It is a company specializing in the development of mobile phone system. It has lasted for ten years, and its technology is leading in the world!"!!! At present, psion company has been renamed Saipan company. According to David Porter, CEO and co-founder of Symbian, the company''s name change was requested by Henry Williams. To some extent, it reflects that Mr. Henry Williams is very optimistic about the development of the company

    After the newspaper and TV broadcast, first of all, the British mobile phone manufacturers sent people to know about Symbian, especially the Symbian system they developed! For a time, Saipan company building full of people!

    Before long, the news spread all over the world!

    The industry is very concerned about it!

    Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other companies can''t help but feel moved when they hear that Henry is laying out the mobile phone system!

    Henry''s investment vision is well-known in the world. Everyone has to analyze the companies he invests in. How did he invest in this company? What''s the problem with this company?! In the United States, almost all of the business courses in Colleges and universities, there is a course dedicated to the study of Henry''s investment, why his investment can always be successful, and the profit is huge!!!

    The West German publishing house once edited a book entitled "the stories of Henry Williams, a genius in the investment world". The book is very thin, 20 or 30 pages in appearance, but it is sold at a high price of $10. However, once the book is released, the sales volume is hot, even the supply exceeds the demand!

    According to incomplete statistics, more than 90% of MBA students have read this book!!!

    Henry has become a lighthouse in the investment world, shining and eye-catching!

    When a beam of light shines on a certain place, people will also turn their eyes to it!!!

    Finland, Nokia CEO said in a deep voice: "send someone to the UK immediately!"

    In the United States, the CEO of Motorola is just like the CEO of Nokia: "send someone to the UK immediately!"

    ……

    A week later, the world''s mobile phone giants have come to Symbian!!!

    David Porter and others are very surprised and happy. Unexpectedly, the signboard of Henry Williams is so easy to use!!!

    David Porter strongly recommends Symbian system. In order to attract mobile phone manufacturers and dilute Henry''s shares, David Porter''s company management decided to invite Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other companies to raise funds! In the process of talking with them, David Porter made the invitation very implicitly.

    "At present, although Mr. Henry Williams has raised a lot of money for our company, technology research and development costs a lot," he said! If we can attract more strategic partners, it would be great! "

    "Mr. David Porter, I think Nokia will be a good strategic partner!"

    Nokia was the first to make a statement, then Motorola, Samsung and Ericsson agreed one after another!!!

    When David Porter saw this, he was very happy.

    Henry Williams holds 30% of the shares, which has always made his founder nervous. He is worried that Henry will one day win over other shareholders, impropriate his rights, or even drive him out of the company! If we can win over several mobile phone manufacturers, it will be much safer. According to his analysis, Henry Williams is likely to set up a mobile phone company of his own, which is bound to compete with other mobile phone manufacturers. Then, you can rely on the support of other mobile phone manufacturers to control the company!

    The press conference didn''t tell Henry Williams, but David porter had to inform him in advance about the company''s financing!

    Soon, the call came to Henry!

    "Hello, Mr. Williams, I''m David Potter!"

    "What''s the matter?" In fact, at this moment, Henry has learned about the situation through the British intelligence personnel. David Porter just called to inform himself that the company will invite four new shareholders to join!

    Although Henry knew it would happen sooner or later, he was still a little annoyed!

    Before that, they used Henry''s fame to hype. If they gave a notice, Henry would be OK, but without a word, they held a press conference the next day to hype. What do you think! Henry was upset with Symbian''s management team and board.

    Now, we are constantly inviting new shareholders to come in and compete with each other. It''s only a few days since we have raised our own funds!!!

    "Well, we are going to invite four mobile phone manufacturers to become shareholders and directors of the company!"

    "OK, no problem!"

    It was useless for Henry to refuse. Although I''m not happy, inviting the other four mobile phone manufacturers to join us can speed up the development of the system. Anyway, I can get the free system license within five years, whatever they do!

    "Well, I haven''t said which four companies?"

    "Needless to say, I know all about it!"

    When David Porter heard this, he could not help but feel a little stunned, and his heart was inexplicably cold!!!
