At 9 o'clock in the morning, in Yang Cheng's huge office, bathed in the warm autumn sun and enjoying the crisp blue sky and white clouds, Xu Xian sat alone in Yang Cheng's exclusive leisure area like a little daughter-in-law, tasting A cup of Geisha coffee that I have never heard of. It is said that the price of this kind of coffee beans from Panama is as high as 350 US dollars per pound. Quality of life.
After being woken up by Yang Cheng in the morning, he and Yang Cheng got tired of being on the boat for a while, and got up after being taken advantage of by the man. After that, they had a hearty breakfast together and went to work in the company. Because Yang Cheng had an appointment to meet with people from Huawei , originally wanted her to ask friends out to go shopping, buy some new clothes or something.
But Xu Xian seemed to enjoy the time working with Yang Cheng, pursed her red lips lightly, and said "no" mischievously, so Yang Cheng had to let her go.
Introduced several introductory business books, and asked Susu to grind a cup of Geisha coffee for Xu Xian. The refreshing feeling that passed through the throat after the entrance and the floral fragrance exhaled after drinking the coffee for several hours, Geisha coffee beans have become the new king of fine coffee in recent years. Yang Cheng has no preference for this coffee, and drinks less. He feels that Geisha can better grasp the tastes of girls. After buying it, he basically bought it. vegetarian appetite.

For a long time, Warwick has been trying to enter the US market by cooperating with US domestic operators, but it has been repeatedly frustrated.
On January 24, 2003, Cisco filed a lawsuit against Warwick for software and patent infringement in the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The 77-page complaint accused Huawei of embezzling its source code in a variety of routers and switches, making the products even defective. There are similarities; the allegations also include that software such as routers and switch command interfaces infringes at least 5 patents owned by Cisco. Warwick finally settled the lawsuit without admitting wrongdoing and agreed to stop selling routers.
In 2005, Broadcom filed a lawsuit with the U.S. International Trade Commission, arguing that Qualcomm's chips and chipsets infringed patents it owned.
After Broadcom won the lawsuit, the International Trade Commission issued a limited exclusion order on June 7, 2007 to exclude Qualcomm chips and chipsets and "all handheld wireless communication devices, including mobile phones and PDAs" containing Qualcomm chips, from being imported into the United States. Once this exclusion order is implemented, Huawei, Foxconn, Samsung, Motorola and many other mobile phone and pda manufacturers using Qualcomm chips will not be able to enter the US market.
On December 8, 2010, Locke, the Chinese-American Secretary of Commerce at the time, admitted in an interview that he had called Dan Jose, CEO of Spriel, the third largest mobile operator in the United States, to express his concern about Warwick, a telecom equipment manufacturer in country Z, participating in Spriel. Network equipment upgrade procurement "deep concern",
That knocked Warwick out of a $5 billion equipment tender it was very likely to win.
The old US government continued to covertly exert pressure on the three major mobile operators, verizon, at&t, and sprint+t-mobile through different occasions, and repeatedly blocked the possibility of Huawei entering the US market.
In addition, there is lobbying by competitors, mainly companies that compete with Huawei. As far as Yang Cheng knows, the investigation against Huawei in 2012 was fueled by lobbying forces such as Cisco;
Patent protection, because Huawei mate series and other high-end models use its own HiSilicon Kirin chip, Qualcomm proposed "protection measures" to the government;
Lack of localization, Warwick’s localization in the US is not enough, and authorization is not enough. Unlike Lenovo’s American companies, which have relatively independent power and have more exchanges with local communities. In other words, Huawei has no frontier positions in the US, okay? It is easy to land on the beach, but there is no ground for the soldiers who landed later to rest, how can this battle be fought?
Of course, putting aside the so-called information security issue, it is still a kind of market protection in the final analysis. The so-called market economy is just a joke among the two superpowers Z and the United States. On the surface, Yang Cheng will not accept the olive branch thrown by Huawei , you don’t need to look at other people’s winks, but if you think about it carefully, his skin color itself is synonymous with sensitivity. If Yang Cheng accepts this “business” regardless, will he give those stubborn racists a handle? , fired at the Yang family.
"Boss, the guest we met with has arrived." Just when Yang Cheng was getting into trouble, Su Su pushed the door open and came in to report.
"Well, let people come in."
Without waiting, Eddie led a group of 4 people into Yang Cheng's office, and enthusiastically introduced to the leading lady, "Ms. Chen, let me introduce to you, this is the chairman of New Era Media Holdings - Siwei Space." Mr. Yang Cheng."
Turning to look at Yang Cheng again, "Boss, this is Ms. Chen Ruifang, Senior Vice President of Warwick and President of the Public Relations Department of a communication company from country Z."
Dressed in a beige suit and trousers, Chen Ruifang suppressed the shock in his heart, stretched out his hand elegantly and dignifiedly, and said hello in fluent English, "Mr. Yang, it's an honor to meet you. I have to say that you are so young."
"Haha, we are all descendants of Yanhuang. We can communicate in Chinese. It is my honor to meet such an outstanding woman as Ms. Chen." Yang Cheng's standard Mandarin once again subverted Chen Ruifang's cognition, and she wanted to turn her head away. He scolded the staff severely. The investigation of this job was too incomplete. He didn't even find out such important information as Yang Cheng's fluent standard Chinese. How dare he work in the PR department?
"Mr. Yang is not only young and promising, but he has not forgotten his ancestors. It is really commendable. It makes me feel ashamed."
Yang Cheng shook Chen Ruifang's well-maintained hand, let go and raised his hand and said, "You're welcome, just call me Jason, let's sit here? Tell my assistant what you want to drink."
The sofa set in the reception area is big enough to seat 6 or 7 people without being too crowded. Chen Ruifang and others often deal with foreigners, so naturally they would not be polite when they heard Yang Cheng’s words, and they ordered drinks that suit their own tastes. Cheng Cheng sat on both sides of the coffee table with a clear distinction.
After Chen Ruifang took her seat, her eyes were unconsciously attracted by a beautiful figure not far away, but she didn't ask impolitely. She looked back at Yang Cheng and didn't take it lightly because Yang Cheng was young. After all, Yang Cheng's personal wealth and the background behind her The family is enough for this elite strong woman to look up to.
"Jason, to be honest, you are the first friend who is willing to have in-depth exchanges with us after I came to the United States. This made me feel the blood and family relationship among the same Chinese. I am grateful. If you have the opportunity to return to China in the future, you must definitely Give me a chance to be a landlord, let's have a good drink."
Chen Ruifang's gentle image and super communicative skills are vividly displayed at this moment. The opening remarks of formal talks often determine the trend of the subsequent conversation. Chen Ruifang is as keen as she is to seize the opportunity and use the unique advantages of women to draw each other closer. The distance, starting the conversation in the way of chatting between friends and fellow villagers, will make it easier for her to make those unspeakable demands in the future. After all, we are all friends. You can't dig your friend's face, right?
But after this period of experience, Yang Cheng is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and he can handle it with ease, "Of course, the Chinese have been living alone overseas for many years, life is not easy, and they are haunted by their hometown. If there is a chance to return to China as an individual to visit relatives , I must not forget to have a good time with Ms. Chen, I heard that Huawei has encountered many difficulties in developing the European and American markets recently?"
The implication is that if you return to China for a business visit, it’s a different matter. Remind the other party that business is business and don’t talk about money in front of friends. At the same time, he also expressed his tough attitude. This is the charm of zwen, the seemingly simple greetings and politeness, but hidden sarcasm, in this first round of confrontation, Yang Cheng is slightly better.
