Chapter 1522 Negotiation

It was still in the manor, but this time they were not chatting in the living room, but in the reception room of the manor. Prince William did not come again, but Gerd Gronaf came.

If we only mention Gerd, the general impression of the public or the business circle is that he is a very successful businessman and a big landlord.

This person has a lot of land in five continents, and it is a large area of ​​land. He runs mineral, oil field and natural gas business. He is definitely a big boss who can do such resource business.

But today Gerd sat in the reception room of the manor, obviously not because of his identity as a big boss in the business world, but because of his identity as a white glove of the royal family.

In addition to Gerd, there are several older men.

The old man sitting on the left hand side looking at the cigar with a smile is called Sandway. The former chairman of Citibank is the boss who is called the father of finance on Wall Street.

Below him sat a big bearded man with a slightly side figure. His beard was already gray and he lowered his eyes with a twilight look. This is Picken, the president of BP Capital Management on Wall Street.

On the right sat Jerde, and below Jerde sat an old man in a formal suit, with a straight back and a friendly smile.

If you don't know his identity, you might think he is a staff member who is meeting with a client. This is Charles, the founder of index investment.

His dress is a habit left over from when he was a stockbroker. Compared with the elderly who like to wear loose and comfortable clothes, Charles has been dressed like this for work all these years.

In addition to these four people, Dean also sat in the reception room.

The door of the reception room was closed, the black tea on the table was steaming, and everyone had a Honor 1 mobile phone in front of them. The whole reception room was very quiet.

Jerde looked around, took a big sip of the coffee in the cup, and then took a big puff of the cigarette.

He likes to drink coffee very much, and likes to drink this kind of strong freshly ground coffee, and he is very addicted to smoking. Sandway just sipped the cigar in small sips, and only smoked half of the cigar.

There were already quite a few cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of Jerde, and the cigarette in his mouth was still smoking. He shook the cigarette box and found that there were no cigarettes in it.

Jerde crumpled the cigarette box with his palm, stretched out his hand to open another box of cigarettes, and then spit out a circle of eyes and said.

"Is there no room for negotiation? Your condition is too harsh."

The others were silent and did not speak. Obviously, they had the same idea as Jerde.

To be honest, as a big boss, some of them have cooperated with Chinese people, and some have not. But whether they have or not, they have never thought that one day they will be in a weak position when they cooperate with a Chinese.

The other party held a butcher knife in their hands, and they stretched their necks on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered. This feeling makes people very uncomfortable, but there is no way.

"This is the condition for cooperation. If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll get some new mobile phones to give to people, or wait for others to come to my door after China and Asia start to distribute goods." Yang Dongxu leaned back in the chair.

He rarely smoked, but he also had a cigarette between his fingers. Although the negotiations were deadlocked not long after they started, such negotiations were really exhausting. If he didn't hold a cigarette in his hand and took a puff occasionally, he would always feel a headache from the tension.

"No one will be willing to cooperate with you under your conditions." The speaker was Piken.

"That's because you underestimated the greed of human nature." Yang Dongxu chuckled, "I know you think that my smartphone has been interviewed, and other manufacturers' smartphones are probably not far away. For example, Apple has already launched a smartphone project a long time ago.

But what I want to say is that in the next six months or even a year, only my smartphones will be available in the world. And you who have used smartphones know very well how much change the smartphones will bring to the mobile phone industry.

In the end, if it doesn't work, I can find Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson to cooperate. If I follow the conditions you said, why don't I find these big companies to cooperate?

If I cooperate with them, I can immediately complete the global distribution. They just need to replace the mobile phones in the existing mobile phone stores with Honor smartphones. It's a very simple operation, isn't it?"

Yang Dongxu's words made everyone calm down again.

The conditions offered by Jerde and others are the conditions that Europe and the United States usually use to do business with China, that is, to take the biggest advantage and look like I am taking care of you.

If you don't cooperate, you will be blocked by technology. This kind of thing has been done a lot in the past by Europe and the United States, and even by Benben and South Korea. Because it needs technology, China can only endure such grievances.

But now it is different. Yang Dongxu is the boss of smartphones, and he is the only one in the world who can produce smartphones. If Yang Dongxu wants to cooperate like this again, why should he go around and find them? He can go directly to Motorola and Ericsson.

When these two companies heard that they could kill Nokia, and they would trample Nokia into the dust with one foot, these two companies are definitely more active than looking at beautiful women.

"There is another more important point." After saying that, seeing that no one responded, Yang Dongxu tapped his fingers on the table, "Even if there are smartphones that catch up in the future, what does that have to do with you? For example, Apple, who may be the last and the fastest to catch up, can you share the money when its smartphone is released?"

Everyone in the reception room couldn't help but look gloomy, and Dean couldn't help but frowned.

This is the important reason why these people did not just walk away in the face of the harsh cooperation conditions proposed by Yang Dongxu.

At present, there are only a few companies in the world that can barely keep up with the pace of smartphones, such as Apple, Samsung, and perhaps Motorola and Ericsson.

If Nokia quickly transforms, it is estimated that it can also keep up, but as the current leader in the mobile phone industry, smartphones have the greatest impact on it, and it is unclear whether it can recover.

But whether it can concentrate on keeping up, these have nothing to do with them.

When Apple launched the smartphone project, the profits of this project had been divided up. Otherwise, why do you think that Apple, which is not as developed as in the previous life, can continue to suck blood from Microsoft?

It is because of the people standing behind them that Apple's future development will not be shared by anyone present.

Other mobile phone manufacturers are also in similar situations. The profits that should be divided have already been divided up, unless the company dies directly.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful it becomes in the future, most of the profits will belong to the big guys behind it, and these people will have no chance to intervene.

So if they want to get on the smartphone poker table, they can only find mobile phone companies whose profits have not been divided up by the big guys, and so far, the company that meets this condition is Yang Dongxu.

There may be more companies like his in the future, but at that time, all the major capitals know the future of smartphones. They have no advantage of first movers and can only compete head-on with the big capitals. It is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose.

"If you change to American nationality and move the headquarters of Honor Mobile to the United States, I can agree to all your conditions." Charles said.

"If I do these, why do I need you?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes directly.

Isn't this the economic policy of the United States?

He must share a share of the profitable business, otherwise he will find ways to sanction you.

If Yang Dongxu is willing to share part of the profits with the US government, why should he bother to come to the UK for this negotiation? Once his nationality is changed and the company headquarters signs, everything will be solved.

Even those investments on the Internet are now all put into one basket, and the risk will not be too great.

The reception room fell into silence again.

After a while, Yang Dongxu put the cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him, "Not only smartphones, I also have shares in some Internet companies.

If the cooperation on smartphones is successful, we can work together to list these Internet companies. As long as the operation is successful, the Internet projects we operate will not be worse than the current Google.

In the future, there will only be a few people present in my circle. I will be responsible for product operations, company management, and future company strategy. We can sign a bet agreement.

If the projects I manage do not achieve the expected returns and scale, I can sell my shares to you."

"Internet projects?" The people present raised their eyebrows in surprise, wondering why Yang Dongxu suddenly mentioned the Internet when they were clearly talking about smartphone projects.

"Internet project." Yang Dongxu nodded seriously, seemingly not realizing that he had gone off topic. "You can first learn about Weibo, as well as CC and MM, which are very popular in the European and American markets.

The project I'm talking about is related to these two types of Internet products. What kind of future do these two products have? I can only guarantee that they are better than them, and definitely not worse than them.

The Internet project is bundled with the smartphone project. I have no interest in whether you have Samsung shares or whether you are willing to work for a certain consortium.

The future cooperation will not involve arms, high-end technology, or politics. It's just a simple business cooperation. As for what you use the proceeds of the business cooperation to create, it has nothing to do with me." Yang Dongxu raised his mouth corners and showed a meaningful smile.

Everyone present raised their eyebrows, including Dean and Jerde.

It's true that everyone present is a big boss, but they are not the top big bosses. They also have a consortium above them.

For example, Jerde has the royal family above him. Although Dean is the head of the Spencer family, the Spencer family is not the top family in the UK, and there are other big bosses above him.

Not to mention Picken and others. Although they are big names on Wall Street, they are under pressure from the consortium, and they are even working for the consortium now.

However, compared with other tools working for the consortium, they are already big names and have a certain degree of freedom.

But now they are just casual customers standing by the gambling table and placing bets, and they cannot sit at the gambling table yet.

And Yang Dongxu hinted that as long as this cooperation is done well, they may also sit at the table.

This is not just a pie in the sky, but it is really possible. Google is a living example.
