In the evening, Liu Qiangdong invited Chen Xu to dinner.

On the way, Liu Qiangdong once again asked for cooperation.

Chen Xu, who had always had an unclear attitude before, refused very simply this time.

Liu Qiangdong forced a smile, opened his mouth a few times, and wanted to ask why, but he couldn't ask.

He is also the chairman of the board of directors of Jingdong, so he can't lose his status too much.

Chen Xu has a good impression of Liu Qiangdong in his heart, and even Liu Qiangdong is the only Internet boss who makes him feel very down-to-earth, and the others are either full of chicken soup for the soul, or sit high in the clouds, and the dragon sees the head and the tail, and the other is even more magnanimous, and he doesn't know how to complain.

Chen Xu took a corn kernel from the plate and put it on the table, saying, "This is Jingdong." ”

Then he sandwiched another one, "This is Pinduoduo." ”

"This is Didi, this is Meituan, this is Sohu, this is 58.com, this is Kingsoft, this is Cheetah, this is Ubisoft China, this is Activision Blizzard, this is ......"

Liu Qiangdong's brows gradually furrowed.

He already understood what Chen Xu was talking about.

Chen Xu put down his chopsticks, leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big problem, there aren't many shares in total, but I always feel that their hands are stretched too long." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to... I will kick BAT out of the industrial chain of Xinghai in the shortest possible time, and leave no one behind. If you want to cooperate in the future, you can negotiate directly with their parent company. ”

After a pause, Chen Xu said: "The equity structure behind the Internet company is too complicated, so for the development of wireless chargers this time, I only accept investment from recognized natural persons, and I will also issue financing bonds of 5 billion yuan." ”

Liu Qiangdong understood what Chen Xu meant, and a smile quickly appeared on his face.

……

In the next few days, Chen Xu met with no less than 20 groups of people, all of whom Qi Wenbin couldn't handle.

Some of them were negotiated, and some were rejected by him.

Altman Spencer, the CEO of WPC, insisted on interviewing Chen Xu.

The two meet at a café in the World Financial Center.

This is a very murderous old man in Europe and the United States, in his sixties, with blue eyes, a high nose bridge, two mustaches, wearing a well-tailored silver-gray suit, and meticulous care of his golden hair.

At 2:20 in the afternoon, after Chen Xu came over with his assistant, the two shook hands, and then sat down on the left and right.

Spencer said with a smile in English: "I have a comprehensive understanding of your company in the past few days, Xinghai Technology is a great company, and Mr. Chen is also a very amazing person, which makes me very admired." ”

Chen Xu understood English and could speak, but he was too lazy to speak, and politely said two sentences in Chinese.

After Spencer and the other female translator next to him explained, she changed the conversation and said: "But your company has just begun to develop, especially in the international system, and there is no right to speak at all.

So I have a suggestion that Xinghai Technology's long-distance charging technology be added to WPC, so that Xinghai Technology will be developed rapidly. ”

Chen Xu almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard this, and didn't wait for the translator, but said to the female translator: "You tell Mr. Spencer that their technology is worthless! ”

After speaking, Chen Xu stood up, pulled the hem of the black casual suit, and said, "I'm sorry, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

Originally, he was looking at the face of WPC, which was more or less influential in the world, and planned to give them some benefits. But first of all, you have to put yourself in the right place.

I didn't expect it to be anti-customer-oriented, a wireless charging alliance with no technical content, and actually wanted to dominate the long-distance wireless charging market, I really dare to say.

If he weren't a person with status now, he would have to spit on his face.

What the hell~

"Hi Chen, wait a minute...... Listen to me. Spencer caught up and wanted to say something.

"There's nothing to say, Mr. Spencer should go back, WPC is outdated, and the future will be the era of the long-range wireless charging alliance!"

After speaking, Chen Xu strode away.

Spencer looked at the back of the fast-departing figure, and the look on his face turned pale.

He has dealt with the Chinese countless times, each time first praising their company, and then saying that their company's international influence is worthless, and that their country will pick on some ugly phenomena to detract.

In this way, those company leaders will be slaughtered by him out of a sense of inferiority and a desire to gain international recognition.

But I didn't expect that the tried and tested trick actually failed this time.

Spencer really wanted to go straight back home.

But thinking of the explanation from the board of directors, I had to start thinking about how to re-negotiate with Mr. Chen?

He Gang inspected some of the most prosperous areas in Zhonghai, such as Binhe District, Jiangdong District, Fu'an District, Minxi District, and Hongqiao District, and finally decided to place the address of the first store in Gubei New District along the Hongqiao.

This is the first high-end residential area developed in Zhonghai, and it is also the earliest rich residential area.

Due to its proximity to Hongqiao International Airport and convenient external transportation, some real estate developers in Hong Kong and Taiwan built the first batch of export houses in the early 90s of the last century.

The earliest residents were senior managers of multinational companies, which made Gubei gradually have an international living atmosphere.

Later, as some celebrities and film and television stars settled here, a large number of wealthy business owners in China also flocked to buy houses;

Naturally, some well-known real estate developers at home and abroad have moved in one after another to carry out large-scale luxury residential and commercial development, making the area a higher standard of international wealthy.

Although it was later replaced by Lu Jiazui, a rising star, Hongqiao Gubei is still a well-known old rich living area in Zhonghai.

In the final analysis, car beauty is people-oriented, and it is natural to open on the edge of high-end communities.

If you drive to the industrial park, is it difficult to expect those truck drivers to come and buy custom pendants?

He Gang fell in love with a location on Gubei Middle Road, which is a row of street-facing shops with high ceilings and a total area of 2,200 square meters, which is very suitable for use as a car beauty shop.

He Gang called the agent according to the number left on the glass door of the shop, and the quotation there made his heart pound.

The rent of 1 square meter is 12 yuan a day.

Rent 26400 per day;

He Gang calculated, the rent of nearly 10 million a year is unimaginably astronomical.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally could only call Chen Xu.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as Chen Xu heard that the rent was 10 million a year, he said: "What are you hesitating about 10 million, rent it quickly, it's too late." ”

He Gang emphasized: "...... 10 million too. ”

Chen Xu laughed and said: "You go to Gubei to rent a house, don't you know the price over there, in the 90s of the last century, the monthly rent of a villa reached four or five thousand dollars." ”

He Gang calculated, according to the inflation rate for so many years, the rent of such a large shop on the street is not as expensive as the rent of a villa in the year.

With Chen Xu's encouragement, He Gang rented the house and then began to find professionals to come and plan the renovation.

……

Minxi District Laboratory.

Seeing that long-distance wireless charging technology could not completely replace traditional batteries for the time being, Chen Xu began to devote his energy to robots......
