Chapter 616: Joining forces
The opening ceremony of the Asian Games was held as scheduled and victoriously, and at a time when the whole country was paying attention and everyone's eyes were focused on TV and the arena, the imperial capital seemed to be completely quiet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But not everyone is hiding at home, watching the Chinese event on TV or radio.
Although some people rushed to China in a hurry, they had little interest in the Asian Games.
By the time they got some news, flights to China had already been scheduled for September 22.
Just like the Spring Festival in China, tickets are always hard to buy a few days before the Chinese New Year's Eve. But if it's a ticket for the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it's better to say.
Those who want to catch a plane to China after September 15 will have to enjoy this treatment.
They had no choice but to choose on the day of the opening of the Asian Games on the 22nd to have a plane ticket available to fly to the imperial capital of China.
Europe is no closer to China than it is to the Americas. And in this era, flights to China were not as frequent as in later generations.
After the long journey of intercontinental flights, it stands to reason that the most important thing for many people is rest.
However, for these people who also want to take a plane to the imperial capital for the first time, rest is really a very luxurious behavior.
"Hello, may this be the ...... of ST Group?"
"Sir, you can speak English, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Oh, thank God!"
Carl exhaled a long breath, put away the phonetic transcription Chinese note in his hand, and said in English to the receptionist standing at the door of the Xinke Didu branch.
"I'm the manager of Philips Electronics, Carl Philips. I am very interested in your electronic technology in China and hope to cooperate with you. ā
"Philips?"
The staff member in charge of the reception looked Carl up and down with a somewhat strange look. It wasn't until he looked a little uncomfortable that he nodded and said, "Sir, if you want to have business cooperation, please go to the security place on my left hand to register first and get a pass." ā
Carl Philips followed the staff's instructions and quickly found a safe place not far from the gate. After some identification, a passport and a business license, he was given a card with a photo to wear around his neck.
"I'm sorry, we've been a bit busy lately. ā
A female receptionist in charge of Carl Philips patiently explained to him in English: "Is Mr. Carl the manager of Philips? Who are you looking for? Have you made an appointment beforehand, and what business would you like to discuss?"
"That's right, I'm the manager of Philips Electronics and Appliances, and you can see my surname is Philips, so there's no doubt about that. ā
Carl Philips pondered for a while, and pretended to be deep and said: "Actually, I have a big business, and I have to talk to Hu Wenhai. I can't reveal it to anyone else until I meet him. ā
"Oh. ā
The little girl who received her nodded quietly, ticked the form in her hand, and pointed to a room at the end of a corridor.
"Since you want to see Mr. Hu, then please go to the reception room and wait for a while. ā
"Okay, I hope you can arrange it soon. ā
Carl Philips couldn't believe that he could meet Hu Wenhai so easily? God, the Chinese are so simple, people are really embarrassed to lie to them!
"Mr. Glitter?"
The staff had just pushed open the door of the meeting room, and before Carl had crossed the threshold, he suddenly shouted in a panic.
Glitter Philips is suppressing the irritability and restlessness in his heart, barely maintaining a superficial demeanor in order to survive this unbearable waiting time.
Just when he was about to fall into an impatient situation, he seemed to hear a somewhat familiar voice?
"Are you?" Gretel Philips frowned, thought hard, and said with some hesitation: "Carl, Carl Philips, what are you doing in China?"
"Iā"
Carl smiled forcefully, and immediately said decisively: "I came to China to watch the Asian Games, and I heard that Glitter also came to China, so I wanted to come and visit you." ā
"Oh, sorry, I'm not very convenient right now. Well, when we get back to the Netherlands, we can find some time to have a 'good' talk. ā
Glitter Philips just didn't react to the incident suddenly, and the next moment he immediately guessed why Carl Philips appeared here.
Any family will have a lineage, a collateral line, a distant relative, and a close relative, and Gretel Philips is obviously a close relative of that lineage, already a member of the Philips board of directors at a young age.
And Carl's "Philips" is not very satisfactory, the only light he has the name of Philips is probably that he can use the name of "Philips Electronic and Electrical Company" to make a little money.
The only chance for the two to get in touch is the small annual family reunion. No wonder Glitter also needs to recall it in order to remember the name.
But after all, they are all a family, and if you don't see through it, Glitter left a little face for Carl.
Probably from which channel Carl Philips learned a little bit of the group's recent inside information, so he rushed over to get a vote with his own name.
This kind of thing that has already pierced the sky, and he even wants to intervene? It really makes people don't know what to say.
Glitter made up his mind that when he returned home, he must teach him a good lesson.
As if knowing the plans of this Glitter Philips, Carl said goodbye to him with a happy smile, and then walked out of the door of the imperial capital branch of the Xinke Group without looking back.
When he saw the receptionist standing at the door snickering at him, he realized that the Chinese were too simple, and people were clearly waiting to see his jokes!
Hey, what about the good Chinese are simple and kind? What about the good people who are stupid and have a lot of money? Why is this not at all the same as the impression of China!
ā¦ā¦
"Mr. Philips, you can come with me. ā
Glitter Philips nodded slightly and followed the beautiful receptionist outside.
After passing through a moon arch and entering another courtyard, he realized that he was not the first to arrive here, and there were already many people in the courtyard.
It was an open-air luncheon with exquisite pastries and wines, as well as some steaks and cold cuts, but it was almost just a showcase, and no one showed the slightest interest in the food.
There aren't too many people on the field for the time being, but as far as the eye can see, it's all blonde hair and white skin. It's a bit surprising to see a white majority on Chinese soil.
"Hi, Glitter!"
"Crowe!" Glitter widened his eyes and shook his head in disbelief, "Oh my God, why did Siemens send you out, is Siemens going out of business?"
"You are!"
Klau Siemens gave Glitter Philips a punch and snorted: "Is it difficult that your reputation is better than mine? At least if I don't want to invite Hu Wenhai to the red light district, you may not be." Siemens sent me to China to show that I will be born this time!"
"I think it's a broken jar. ā
"Hi, okay. Another white man came over, separated Crow and Glitter, and shook his head: "This time our six companies are going to join forces, and it is better to show unity on the territory of the Chinese." ā
"I'll introduce myself, I'm Jude Law at Ericsson, assistant to the president. There are also people from Nokia and Alcatel over there, and I haven't seen anyone from Motorola appear yet, and the Americans are really loose enough. ā
Glitter Philips, Executive Director of the Board of Directors of Philips. ā
"Nice to meet you. ā
"So, have any of you seen Hu Wenhai?" Glitter glanced at the field, obviously not seeing Hu Wenhai's figure.
"No, the Chinese are terrible this time, making a big news! Of course, they can sit comfortably on the shore and watch the play." Jude Law poured a glass of wine for Glitter and shook his head: "Our company is already forming a professional team, and it is said that the only job is to specialize in Chinese news broadcasts." ā
"yes, that's scary!" Glitter agreed.
"The 0.8 micron process lithography machine, and such a small mobile phone, there was no news at all before!
The Dutch company ASML, the world's best manufacturer of lithography machines, became independent from Philips in the eighties. As the executive director of Philips, Glitter certainly doesn't even know what that means.
"With China's industrial level, this is obviously impossible!" Crowe joined in their discussion: "Where did they get their technical level, did the Chinese's high technology fall from the sky? Could it be that their spies stole our technology?"
Glitter and Jude Law looked at him like a mentally handicapped child, covering their faces and saying: "We haven't developed the technology of the 0.8 micron process ourselves, where did the Chinese steal it?"
"In fact, the processing requirements for developing 0.8 micron process lithography machine equipment are available to Chinese. What they lack is lenses and design capabilities. Glitter said with a straight face: "Judging from Hu Wenhai's past performance, maybe it's another miracle, anyway, there have been too many times to make people suspect that he is the child of destiny, isn't it? But 0.8 microns is their limit, and the next Chinese can't break through so easily." The industrial base does not allow it, and their processing and measurement capabilities cannot support further development of the technology. ā
Glitter thought for a while, and finally added: "Well, this is ASML's judgment of the Chinese." ā
