Obviously, there is no spirit of equality and cooperation on the side of the commercial market group.

In other words, the commercial market group looks down on Pengbo Electronics and does not take them seriously, so it will be so big.

With such an attitude from the other party, Nathan Luo's task was naturally not achieved, but he did not give up, and kept trying to find ways to get in touch with the higher levels of the commercial market group. On the one hand, this is related to Nathan Law's professional quality, after all, the US market is really important. On the other hand, it is also related to Hu Mingchen's attitude towards him in front of him, although Hu Mingchen's words were relieved by him that day, they still caused a lot of stimulation to Luo Guancong.

Hu Mingchen is much younger than Nathan Luo, and being looked down upon by such a person is a little unacceptable to Nathan Luo. Therefore, he especially wants to make achievements to prove his ability, even if he leaves Pengbo Electronics in the future, he can't go with humiliation.

It's just that no matter what method Luo Guancong uses, no matter how many phone calls and emails he makes, it is difficult to make progress on the side of the commercial market group. But he is not without gains, at least he has verified one point, that is, the reason why the commercial market group suppresses them so much is really inseparable from Apple's side.

"Mr. Hu, let's give up on AT&T's side, it's useless here. Nathan Luo called Hu Mingchen as soon as possible to report the situation.

"What's the matter? Don't they eat oil and salt? Do they still not do it after we give them enough profits?" Hu Mingchen sat at the desk in his room, a pen in his hand and turned around, his brows furrowed.

Due to the time difference, it was daytime when Nathan Luo called on his side, and Hu Mingchen's side happened to be at night. It is only at night that Hu Mingchen can talk about things with peace of mind, and he is at school most of the time during the day.

Although some students with good conditions have begun to bring mobile phones into the campus, there is no one like Hu Mingchen who talks about work as soon as he connects his mobile phone. So when Hu Mingchen was at school, his mobile phone was basically placed in Fang Guoping's place, and if there was any important information, Fang Guoping would relay it after class.

"Because there are people who have also given them huge profits, and there are good personal friendships. I'm afraid we can't break this fortress at this stage. Nathan Law said.

"What do you mean...... Apple gives them a very low price?" Hu Mingchen is not a fool, as soon as Luo Guancong said that, he pondered and immediately thought of the crux of the problem.

"Mr. Hu is really smart, I thought about it at once, I inquired, Apple not only gave the commercial market group a price reduction of 100 dollars on our basis, and the president of the commercial market group is also a good friend with Jonas, in addition, Jonas also has a good relationship with the CEO of AT&T, in this case, the other party will not cooperate with us at all, I even think that they deliberately contacted us, which is to delay our time. Nathan Law said.

"It's really the first thing to get the moon near the water, and there are people in the court who are easy to do. What should you do? Is there any other way you can do? I don't think you just called me to tell me such a gloomy news. Hu Mingchen stopped the pen he was turning, and squeezed it in his hand at once.

Hu Mingchen keenly noticed that Nathan Law did not show extreme frustration and excessive pessimism in the face of such desperate news.

"I do have a solution, in the Canadian market, our partner is FUTURE shop, and this company happened to be acquired by Best Buy, so I thought, let's just leave AT&T behind and work directly with Best Buy. Best Buy is also a giant company in the United States, and the retail of electronics has become increasingly important to them. And, Futu

The president of the e-shop has agreed to introduce me to the CEO of Best Buy, and I'll go to Litchfield tomorrow to talk to them. ”

Headquartered in the small town of Litchfield, Minnesota, Best Buy is one of the world's top 500 companies and its main business is retail.

In the United States, many large companies are not headquartered in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, such as the headquarters of Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, with a population of 200,000, and Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, with a population of only about 400,000.

"Okay, then you can go and talk, as long as they can help those American markets, there are some conditions, you can make appropriate concessions. Now that Nathan Luo has thought of an alternative, Hu Mingchen can only trust and encourage him now.

The next day, Nathan Law flew to Litchfield non-stop, and he met with its chief executive, Corey Barry, as he wished, and the two sides had a good conversation.

Corey Barry was at least not as unsightly as the commercial market group, and learned about the relevant situation of Pengbo Electronics, and also asked Nathan Luo to explain the product. It's just that when it comes to the specific level of cooperation, Corey Barry did not go deeper, but made a surprising request, he hoped to let Hu Mingchen talk.

"What? Let me go to the United States to talk?" When Nathan Luo fed back the news, Hu Mingchen was stunned.

It's no wonder that Hu Mingchen would react so much, he really can't figure it out, he doesn't have any reputation, even if he wants to find a company, it's a person, it's Chen Xuesheng, how can he name him?

"Yes, that's what Mr. Barry asked. ”

"But...... I don't understand, why did he want me to go, he didn't say why?" Hu Mingchen was still a little confused in his mind.

"I also asked this question, but Mr. Barry did not answer, that is, he pointed out that the cooperation between our two companies can only be finalized if you come forward. Mr. Hu, why don't you come to the United States? ”

"It's not a question of whether I can come or not, I don't even have a passport yet, and when I get my passport and come over, I'm afraid the food will be cold." Hu Mingchen sat up straight all of a sudden.

"So what? They just told you to get out of the way. ”

"Since they don't talk about it, then you tell them that if they are really sincere, let them fly to China, no matter which city it is, I can't go abroad for the time being." Hu Mingchen said.

"Let them come to China? If that's the case, then can I tell them what the situation is. Nathan Law asked.

“...... Yes, you can do it anyway. Hu Mingchen replied with a deep sigh.

Unexpectedly, Hu Mingchen was very helpless to make a proposal, and the other party actually agreed. He also agreed with Nathan Luo that their negotiation team would fly to Mingzhu three days later, and Hu Mingchen could go to Mingzhu to meet with the other party.

After getting the reply, Hu Mingchen was surprised, but he could only hurry up to prepare, the school hurriedly asked for leave, and the company notified Chen Xuesheng, He Xin and Wu Huaisi.

Originally, Chen Xuesheng also planned to call the people from the media and public relations department, and once a cooperation agreement was reached, then he could release news for publicity as soon as possible.

Wu Weisi has now concurrently served as the head of the legal department of Pengbo Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., and all the text of the cooperation agreement must be reviewed by the legal department.

The legal department of Pengbo Electronics is not only Wu Huaisi, but also includes several professionals in the fields of international business law, international contract law and international trade law. Although he studied domestic law, he was still competent to lead a legal department, at least many of the legal spirits were the same.

In order to show their sincerity, Hu Mingchen and his team arrived at Mingzhu early and booked a room at the Intercontinental Hotel, in addition to that, they also rented several limousines from the hotel.

Just when they came, Hu Mingchen took someone to the airport to greet them in person.

It's not that Hu Mingchen wants to pat himself or be flattering, but since people have designated to see him, and he is willing to accommodate, he flew thousands of miles from the United States to China, so Hu Mingchen should be polite and thoughtful.

To paraphrase our old saying, people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot.

And there is a small episode in this, that is, the news that Nathan Luo came back before, it was Corey Barry who led a team to China for negotiations, but when he was about to get on the plane, he learned that it was not CEO Corey Barry, but the company's chairman Richard Schultz.

The bosses of other companies' companies have come forward in person, and Hu Mingchen will not be able to pay enough attention to it.

After receiving the guests, they just made a mutual acquaintance and a simple greeting at the airport, after which the group went to the hotel in five cars.

Hu Mingchen originally arranged for Richard Schultz and his assistant to have a separate Mercedes-Benz car, but unexpectedly, he actually offered to ride in a car with Hu Mingchen.

Schultz's proposal immediately disrupted the relevant deployment, and Hu Mingchen's side had to let others give way, Hu Mingchen and Schultz sat in the back seat, and his assistant sat in the co-pilot. Anyway, it is impossible to arrange another person to squeeze between Schultz and Hu Mingchen.

Fortunately, Hu Mingchen's foreign language barely passed, and he didn't need a translator to deal with it. Otherwise, the situation will be awkward.

As the car drove out of Pearl International Airport, Schultz looked at the scenery outside the car window and exclaimed: "China has changed a lot, when I came last time, it was still a farmland, but now it has become a tall factory." ”

"Has Mr. Schultz been to China?" asked Hu Mingchen, following his words.

"Hehe, of course, I have been to all the major economies in the world, not to mention that China is still the fastest and best growing economy, but the last time I came was four years ago, and in just four years, earth-shaking changes have taken place here. Schultz said with a smile.

"The Pearl is a microcosm of China's economy, and here it represents China, and everything you see here, in other provinces and other cities, is changing at the same speed and at different speeds. Hu Mingchen said with him.

"Yes, you're right, I've only been to two or three cities in China, but I believe you're telling the truth. ”

"Mr. Schultz, if you have the chance, you can visit as many other places in China as you like, each of which has great business opportunities, and we welcome all investors. ”
