Chapter 844: Leveraging Strength and Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Many things, when the strength reaches that level, everything will fall into place.
In the bureau of Ericsson's mobile phone division packing and looking for his mother's home, Yuanqi Technology was able to unexpectedly turn against customers, ostensibly because Wu Tao and Fujiwara Rina had a very close personal relationship, but the deeper reason is that the strength of Yuanqi Technology has reached a level that is enough to acquire the other party.
At least in this year's annual report, Lotus mobile phone sales have firmly entered the first series, replacing Ericsson as the third largest brand after Nokia and Motorola.
It's just that in terms of sales scale, there is still a gap with the top two old foreign companies, and the future smartphone brands Samsung and Apple have not yet risen, so this achievement does not mean that they can laugh to the end, but at least the strength has the qualifications to laugh to the end!
What's more, in the previous life, Ericsson mobile phone found Sony, although it kept its own brand, but the final outcome was not ideal, at least from the perspective of interests, it was a big mistake for Ericsson Group to reorganize.
The day of the end of the year is approaching day by day.
Wu Tao led the negotiation team of Yuanqi Technology and finally ushered in the contact team sent by Ericsson headquarters.
Yuan Qi sent a capable team led by Xiao Zixia and Tan Xiaofei. And Ericsson headquarters came to a bunch of strange foreigners, the only guy I knew was Pete, the former head of Ericsson mobile phone in China.
Pete, who had just shaved his short hair, saw Wu Tao again, as well as his former subordinate Tao Changxuan, who didn't know where to put his old face, and held the hands of the two of them for a long time.
However, the other guys sent by Ericsson headquarters did not feel this way. Not only that, but they still carry the qualifications and posture of the old telecom manufacturers, immersed in a condescending sense of self, and cannot extricate themselves.
So the first two days of negotiation contacts did not go well.
Although it didn't go well, Wu Tao didn't slap the table, and Xiao Zixia still calmed down and slowly consumed with them.
So the next afternoon, as soon as the two sides sat down, Piru Anderson, the top decision-maker sent by Ericsson's headquarters, immediately announced the termination of the talks, and the two sides broke up unhappily.
Pete was dumbfounded.
As the person who knows Yuanqi Technology the most in the team, he actually thinks that the conditions given by Wu Tao are quite good. The purchase price is much higher than Sony's, and although Ericsson's mobile phone brand will be completely erased, Pitt feels that there is nothing unacceptable about it.
Ten birds in the forest is not as good as one bird in hand, and the benefits in hand are real.
What's more, Pete himself also thinks that the Lotus mobile phone brand is doing a good job, so why do you have to pull your banner in the name and become Lotus~Ericsson, what is the benefit to others? I really don't know what Mr. Piru from the headquarters thinks.
Soon, though, Pete knew what Piru was thinking.
As soon as Ericsson's contact team returned to the hotel, Pete was approached by Piru.
"Pete, I don't understand. Why is this Huaxia Wu so arrogant towards us? As far as I know, don't they Huaxia people have special respect and preferential treatment for foreigners?"
As soon as Pete heard this, he laughed at the time, "Anderson, I want to remind you that the other party is a famous entrepreneur who single-handedly founded Yuanqi Technology, and their products beat Ericsson mobile phones, so I think they have the capital to be arrogant." Isn't it?"
This was obviously not the answer Piru wanted, so he almost didn't listen to it after listening to it, so he said his thoughts and said: "Leak this news to the media, I guess the Huaxia officials will help us put pressure on the other party." ”
Pete was speechless for a moment, this method didn't really work, so he looked at Piru, who was determined to win, he opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything.
Early the next morning, a blockbuster news appeared on the front page of major newspapers: Yuanqi Technology plans to acquire the mobile phone division of the veteran telecom giant Ericsson!
This is no less than a bombshell in a year that is becoming calmer and calmer! The absolute response from all walks of life is strong, after all, this is the battle horn sounded by the Huaxia enterprises to the old foreign-funded enterprises, and if they can succeed in winning it, it will definitely be enough to be recorded in the annals of history!
Early in the morning, on the way to work, Wu Tao received a call from Tan Xiaofei, asking him to turn on the car radio to answer, and sure enough, the news broadcast was reporting on the matter.
Wu Tao only commanded: "Immediately convene a meeting of the negotiation team when you go to work!"
After arriving at the company, everyone quickly met to discuss who had leaked the matter.
After everyone made a statement, the meeting fell silent. No one admitted to revealing the news, so the matter is strange.
Wu Tao was silent, but Xiao Zixia knocked on the table to emphasize the bad impact of this matter, reminding everyone to take the initiative to admit it and not to hide it.
Xiao Zixia's tone was very tough, and the atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing and tense for a while, and even Tan Xiaofei put down the small movements in her hand.
At this moment, Wu Tao suddenly came up with a speculation: "Maybe this news was not revealed by us, but ...... leaked by Ericsson."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Zixia asked rhetorically: "Ericsson was acquired by us, after all, it is not a glorious thing for multinational groups, what are the benefits of them doing this?"
Wu Tao stretched out a finger and waved it with a smile: "Zixia, you have made a mistake, that is, to speculate on the psychology of foreign friends with the humanistic habits of China. At least Ericsson Group is willing to package and sell the mobile phone division, and they don't care about any face or anything like that, they only care about profits and operations. ”
After Wu Tao mentioned this, Xiao Zixia was still pondering, but Tan Xiaofei had already preemptively said: "According to the boss's way of thinking, Ericsson's contact team has the motive to deliberately leak the news, they want to use the power of Chinese officials and even public opinion to put pressure on us and force us to comply!"
In this way, everything is clear.
"If that's the case, then these foreigners are too good, they actually know so much about Chinese culture, and they actually know how to use their strength to ......," Xiao Zixia muttered.
Wu Tao spread his hands: "This may not be because they know more, but many local governments in China have become notorious for their political achievements and foreign investment." ”
Figuring out the general ins and outs, Wu Tao's face suddenly relaxed, in fact, he wasn't too worried at the beginning of the fight.
However, Xiao Zixia remembered that Xiao Zixia was in a circle, and thanks to the circle contacts, she especially knew the troubles that Huaxia officialdom had done in many foreign trade and negotiations to betray her teammates.
"Then what should we do, boss?" said as he threw his hands and said, "If this matter is not handled well, it may really cause a commotion." ”
Wu Tao stopped selling Guanzi, and said with a casual smile: "Since they have given us a loan, then we will give them a trick to draw salary!"
