Chapter 201 Assistant

"Walmart is in contact with Chinese state companies, and we are very interested in their products. ”

"Yes, cosmetics, all-natural food, high-end eco-friendly wooden furniture, traditional handmade crafts, we are working with the Chinese industry sector to screen any products that may be of interest to Americans. ”

"By September, we're going to launch a China product zone at Walmart, so that all Americans will be able to easily buy Chinese products. ”

"As far as the product catalog and quotation we have so far, I can only reveal a little bit, the price is very attractive!"

......

"Mom, you're here!" Hu Wenhai gave Xiao Yeqin a big hug, he had been abroad for almost a month, and he really missed his family.

"Hey, it's not just me. Xiao Yeqin opened the back door of the car, and suddenly two beautiful elves popped out.

"Lu Xin, Lu Jia, you are here too!" Hu Wenhai's eyes lit up, looking up and down at these two budding sister flowers.

Although it has only been more than half a year, Lu Xin has a completely different feeling. When she first came to Xiucheng, although Lu Yinglong took good care of her, she was still a man after all, so she couldn't say how careful she was. Maybe it's because he often comes to Hu Wenhai's house to play, and even when Hu Wenhai is not in Xiucheng, Lu Yinglong is busy with work, so the Lu family sisters simply live in his vacated room.

In this way, the relationship between the Lu family and the Hu family quickly became closer. When she came to the United States this time, Xiao Yeqin easily brought the two sisters who were on summer vacation.

"Hey, if I knew you were coming, I called Uncle Lu back from Austin. Hu Wenhai was a little annoyed, then thought about it and said with a smile: "But I'll arrange for you to go to Austin in two days." It's the capital of Texas, and there's plenty to do too. ”

Lu Jia tugged on Lu Xin's hand, looking at the various big noses and yellow hair flowing around, looking a little nervous.

However, Lu Xin was quite curious about the United States, and when he got off the plane, he couldn't stop looking at the surrounding scenery. It is true that China's conditions are much worse than those of the United States in these days, let alone in places like New York.

Lu Xin, who has been to many places in China. But his eyes flashed again and again.

"Speaking of which, how is Lu Xin's exam results, has it come down?" asked Hu Wenhai.

"It should be no problem to go to USTC, right?" Xiao Yeqin looked at Lu Xin with a smile.

Lu Xin retracted his gaze and nodded generously: "If my father hadn't asked me to go to USTC, I would have wanted to study abroad." The United States is so good, there is no comparison in China. ”

Hu Wenhai thinks about Lu Xin's later experience, his sister-in-law is really a bit of a penny-oh, no, in the words of this life. It should be said that she really has a trend towards Wumao.

Hu Wenhai looked at Xiao Yeqin, then at Lu Xin, and suddenly asked, "Lu Xin, are you interested in going with me to see how the Americans do business?"

Hearing Hu Wenhai's proposal, Lu Xin's eyes almost lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Really, can I go?"

Lu Xin often lives in Hu's house, and of course he knows how strong Hu Wenhai's ability is and how big he is doing. Ability to participate in "business negotiations". This is an irresistible temptation for a 19-year-old girl.

"Well, I'm missing an assistant. Why don't you come and help me? Hu Wenhai nodded.

Lu Xin nodded vigorously, almost jumping up with joy.

......

As soon as Leonard and his wife got off the plane, they saw Hu Wenhai wearing sunglasses and Lu Xin standing beside him in cool casual clothes.

Hu Wenhai waved his hand and shouted Leonard's name loudly until their gaze did indeed turn. As soon as the Leonards, who were pushing the luggage cart, reached the exit of the station, someone helped them pick up their luggage.

“hello。 mynameisLucy。 ”

Lu Xin was a little nervous to greet the Leonards in English, and the feeling of youth and youth made them laugh.

The young Lu Xin is like a clear spring, washing away the fatigue of the two people's journey. Leonard took the initiative to reach out and said in a clear and slow tone, "Hello. Dear Miss Lucy. ”

"Lucy is my Chinese assistant and her English still needs a little time to overcome the distance between spoken and written. Hu Wenhai and Leonard shook hands respectively and made a gesture of invitation: "I helped the two of you book a hotel, and I don't know what the result of this contact with IBM is, I hope to be able to unify our internal understanding first, what do you think?"

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard glanced at each other and nodded in unison: "Of course it should be." ”

Hu Wenhai squinted his eyes and smiled.

Mandarin Oriental, New York is definitely one of the best five-star hotels in New York, and it is easy to imagine how good the conditions are to be able to occupy a place in the capital of the world.

From the moment they entered the door, the Leonards were a little flattered. Although the two of them are professors at Stanford University, the professor's salary is more than enough, and they want to get in and out of a five-star hotel. What's more, looking at the service attitude of the hotel, it is obvious that Hu Wenhai is not an ordinary room.

Yes, Hu Wenhai booked a $5,000-a-day presidential suite for the Leonards.

Even the old man of the mountain knew that in order for the Assassins to die, they must first be provided with abundant material conditions for them to enjoy. When talents are not well fed and clothed, they cannot produce great sentiments.

And when all the survival needs have been satisfied, what remains is naturally the highest life needs, self-realization.

Terrorists will only say that this is ...... when they stuff people with explosives packets

Okay, this example isn't great, let's jump over. Hu Wenhai retracted his thoughts and pushed open the door of the presidential suite with his own hands, and the splendid, spacious, bright, and beautiful scenery of the presidential suite was displayed in front of the Leonards and his wife, making the three people around him even breathe a little heavier - Lu Xin had never seen such an imperialist and extravagant scene.

"Please come in, Mr. Leonard, Mrs. Leonard, what do you want to drink? Would you like to try our Chinese tea?"

"Oh, great, I was just going to try it. Leonard nodded with a smile and watched Hu Wenhai bring over a set of tea sets. It was placed on the coffee table in the center of the living room.

Hu Wenhai is like a smooth trick showing off his tea art, although he has not practiced it specifically, but he has seen a lot in his previous life and knows a lot of the Tao here. There is no problem with such a drill, but it is dizzying to see the two foreigners.

"Oh, Chinese drinking tea is so beautiful!" Mrs. Leonard couldn't help but exclaim.

Her praise woke up Lu Xin, who was standing beside Hu Wenhai, and her eyes were a little surprised and curious. asked in a low voice, "Hu Wenhai, do you know how to make tea?"

Hu Wenhai smiled and did not answer. After a short time, the four cups of Tieguanyin had already been brewed. He himself is a vassal and elegant, and he doesn't understand tea. I think that the two foreigners have never seen any good tea, and it is best to entertain them with a fragrant tea like Tieguanyin.

As for the big red robe, Zhengshan Xiaozhu and the like, some people have given it to him. It's a pity that Hu Wenhai himself has always been a thermos cup tea ceremony school and an enamel jar tea ceremony school, and the high-end tea leaves were all taken by Hu Shiwu to show off with his friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard learned from Hu Wenhai, and first lifted the incense glass and put it under their noses to smell it. It's just one action. Sure enough, the two of them were shocked. The fragrance of Tieguanyin tea is obviously quite their appetite.

However, the next tea tasting session was not so particular, Hu Wenhai knew that he should taste a cup of tea in three sips, but he couldn't stand Leonard's squeak, and drank a cup of tea directly......

The rest of the show naturally can't continue to "zhuangbility", so it's just three or four bubbles.

After three rounds of tea, the atmosphere was almost baked, and Hu Wenhai spoke: "The IBM business department invited two people to come over this time." Presumably, there are two kinds of situations. One is a threat to Cisco to retract the words in the ad. There may also be conditions such as an apology. Another possibility is the acquisition, Cisco's patented technology for routers and switches is actually good, which should arouse IBM's interest. In these two cases, I would like to hear the opinions of the two of you, how should Cisco choose its own path?"

The originally impatient mood was under the influence of the "Chinese tea art", and the emotions of the Leonards and their whirlwinds have calmed down. The fatigue of the journey seems to be gone. Regarding IBM's possible attitude, the two of them naturally have judgments, and the left and right are just confrontation and acquisition. As for convincing soft, how is this possible, that's the blue giant IBM!

IBM, which is no less bureaucratic than any government agency, is the IBM of no one. Behemoth IBM. It's amazing to be able to react so quickly to Cisco's advertisement.

Both Hu Wenhai and Leonard initially thought that IBM would not react until Cisco took action. Now it has caused such a quick and serious response from IBM, and it is enough for the Leonards to brag about it in the mall.

Leonard's family is mainly headed by Leonard, I saw him and Mrs. Leonard whisper a few words softly, and then said in a deep voice: "We think that IBM is more likely to choose the first case, there is nothing to say, since we have chosen this path, we will not give up because of IBM's threat." If they choose the second option......"

Hu Wenhai suddenly interjected: "If IBM really chooses the second option, Mr. Leonard, you can sell your shares to them." ”

Chapter 202: Martyrs

"Mr. Hu, what do you mean by that?" Leonard was stunned.

Hu Wenhai was silent for a moment, opened his mouth several times, and had a difficult expression on his face: "I can't let the two of you bear so much pressure for my own reasons, after all, the other party is IBM." ”

IBM In the computer industry, even the mere utterance of these three letters can be stressful. It takes a lot of courage to stand up to IBM. Even hearing Hu Wenhai say this, the Leonards unconsciously showed a relieved expression on their faces.

Perhaps they themselves did not know that, deep down, no one would not be afraid to go against IBM. But of course, this "no one" definitely does not include Hu Wenhai.

"It's what I've been pushing the server-to-terminal model, and that's what I'm encouraging you to do. I've been thinking a lot lately, is it too irresponsible to impose my own dreams on the two of you? Cisco wasn't created by me, and I didn't put in the effort to get to where I am today. But what I'm doing now is something that threatens to undo the hard work of both of you. ”

"It's so unfair to you. If you choose to sell your shares to IBM, I can give you back the Cisco name, even the patents for routers and switches -- and of course, I expect you to pay no less than what I paid when I acquired the patents. So Cisco is still yours, and I can continue to do what I think is right instead of tying up innocent people......"

Hu Wenhai shook his head. Sincerely sighed, "Really, if you choose this path, I will understand very well why you did this. The mall is not a school, and I have great admiration for your knowledge and ability, and I regard you as my best friend and a beacon of life. But there are some things that I can only face alone, the mall is very cruel, IBM will probably do anything for money and profit, I can't let you be hurt like this!"

Hu Wenhai's words were sincere and sincere, and they really started from the perspective of the Leonards and his wife. The image of a chivalrous and courageous lone hero is simply implanted deep in their hearts.

Even Lu Xin, who was sitting on the side and listening, looked at him with a moving and beautiful face, never realizing that Hu Wenhai was such a responsible and affectionate man.

"No, Mr. Hu, it's not your business alone...... Mr. Leonard glanced at his wife, Mrs. Leonard's eyes were full of approval, and he nodded heavily: "Since we have decided to stand up, we agree with your point of view and your dream." It's not just your dream. It's something my wife and I think we should do......"

"You don't know that IBM doesn't just do business to achieve its goals. There's a lot that IBM can do. Big corporations, big chaebols are the most ruthless. They will fall into the trap and lie, they will make things out of nothing, they will enter your private life everywhere, they will interfere in everything that concerns you, and your life will pay a great price for it. ”

Hu Wenhai's face was full of compassion and shook his head bitterly: "I am a Chinese. I'm not afraid of them. But you can't, computer technology is the most precious treasure of mankind, and I can't watch capital destroy the hope of mankind for the next century for its own greed. Please let me, a young man who has not achieved much, carry all this instead of you, who are more valuable to the world. ”

Hu Wenhai said this. With an excited face, he slapped the table and stood up: "Yourknow, I want to say to IBM, F**kyou! For the future of mankind, I am not afraid of them!"

President Shimoki, whom Hu Wenhai admires the most, has this saying: What martyrs crave most is heroic sacrifice. So, you sharpen the blade, adjust the angle, and count three, two, --

"No! it's not your business alone!"

"You're not even an American, the computer industry is the industry where Americans have the greatest advantage. If someone needs to step up, it has to be an American!"

Every inch of Leonard's skin seemed to be emitting a light called "St. Leonard" at this time, and the piercing Hu Wenhai even closed his eyes slightly.

"You don't know the Americans, and if this kind of thing is a Chinese coming forward, you will never succeed." Leonard shook his head and sighed, clearly ashamed of the inferiority of his compatriots: "Americans need heroes, but this hero can never be a man with yellow skin and black eyes." If I don't stand up, no one will be able to save the American computer industry. ”

"But Cisco is your husband and wife's life's work......" Hu Wenhai's counterattack was as weak as a noodle.

“Please！”

Mrs. Leonard also stood up, and she said sincerely: "Mr. Hu, please believe that we are not children who don't know anything. In fact, we are well aware of the means that capital may take. But, we are ready to give all our efforts and perseverance for this just cause. ”

Leonard held his wife's hand tightly, and the two gazed affectionately-

Lu Xin sniffled and wiped his eyes with his hand, not knowing when he was already in tears.

Oh my God, it turns out that Hu Wenhai is doing such an important and just cause, and it turns out that there are such brave and admirable professors in the United States, which is really touching!

If it weren't for the scruples of the wrong occasion and the wrong object, Lu Xin really wanted to shout, long live justice! The proletariat of the whole world unites!

Leonard's face was calm, and he turned his head to look at Hu Wenhai: "If you can do it as a Chinese." There's no reason why we Americans should be left behind. ”

Americans in this era are proud, especially in the computer industry, and the most advanced technology of the entire world's electronics industry is in the United States. As a member of this industry, since Leonard has a stormy situation, he feels that he cannot give this glory to a Chinese.

Let the Chinese challenge IBM alone for the cause of the United States, Leonard asked himself if he could do such a thing.

Hu Wenhai sat back on the sofa full of frustration. Shaking his head in annoyance: "Professor Leonard, Madam, you are so stupid, really stupid......"

"You know, we're just scientists and teachers. We're not calculating, we're just experimenting in the lab. It's rare to have such an opportunity to be in the limelight, so you young people don't want to rob an old man like us, right?"

"Hahahaha-"

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard looked at each other and smiled.

Hu Wenhai smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "Okay, I want you to know that this promise of mine will always be valid." It's true. You can withdraw at any time. ”

"Wen Haihu, you are a good person. Leonard was impressed.

"Let's not think so much about it, let's think about how to deal with IBM's negotiations. ”

As Leonard said, both Leonards and their sons were very pure researchers. They know everything about technology, but they know almost nothing about capital.

In the history of the future, it is because of this trust in capital that the Leonards will eventually become a well-known example of founders being kicked out of their own companies by capital.

Their lives are full of mission and honor, and they insist that Cisco take the technical route. However, for capital. Mergers and acquisitions were the means they were accustomed to, and for the first and last time, they truly saw the shamelessness and greed of capital.

Take advantage of their trust. In the future, Cisco will stage a flipped plot in which the CEO kicks the chairman out of the company. Since then, Cisco has become a feast for capital, serving as a qualified vehicle for Wall Street to bring the burgeoning online economy back under the control of the traditional financial system.

The decline of Cisco and the rise of Huawei must be said to have a credit from Wall Street.

Cisco grows with capital. But it has also abandoned its ideals and enterprising spirit because of capital.

"As far as I know, Cisco's negotiator this time is Joey from the Business Department, and he's an experienced guy. ”

......

"Joey, is it necessary for us to take a company with an annual profit of less than $100,000 so much?"

"Don't learn from those stubborn old guys, IBM has to change its style. "Joey looks shrewd and capable. There is a face that is especially handsome in the eyes of Americans. I have to say that good looks are really a competitive advantage, at least looking at his face, few people can really get angry.

"The value of a company is not based on how much money he made last year, but on how much money he can make in the future. Joey said to his assistant: "I have studied Cisco's routers, and even if we don't go through the server-to-terminal model, there will be great prospects for development in the future." The Internet is the way of the future, and it would be a good investment to spend a little more money to buy them. ”

"I hope so. Assistant Parker smiled and didn't say anything more.

Joey's personality he understands is that as a business executive at IBM, he is actually very talkative and very generous most of the time. Because for IBM, the key is the ability to execute the strategy, and the goal is achieved, and IBM always makes money. If the goal is not achieved, even if you save money, you will still pay a greater price in the end.

So for Joey, it's really a problem that can be solved with money, and it's not a problem. As a leading enterprise, as long as IBM moves steadily and moves forward in a dignified formation, there is almost nothing that can hinder it.

But on the other hand, Joey's ability to get to where he is today also has a terrifying side. If the problem is not solved by money, sometimes he will also incarnate into a very terrible person.

Parker shuddered at the thought of some of Joey's methods.

Let's hope there won't be any blind guy who bumps into his hands. (To be continued......)
