Chapter 561: Hospitality!
The scene was originally quite harmonious, but because of Ren Yan's sudden change, the atmosphere instantly became deadlocked.
The scene was very embarrassing at one point......
In these few seconds of stunned time, neither the people on the Loongson side nor the people on the Apple side thought that Ren Yan would have such a side.
Although everyone knows that Apple's conditions are indeed not so fair to Loongson, it is true that this kind of thing is said directly......
Ordinary people really don't dare to do that.
After all, the person sitting across from him was Cook, the man who took the Apple from Joe's gang leader.
The fastest to react was the Loongson gang.
Compared with the apple side opposite, these people, who are the high-level leaders of Loongson, naturally know much more about Ren Yan.
What can make them react quickly is not actually what Ren Yan has shown in the company, but Ren Yan has always belonged to the kind of character who does things coldly from the beginning of his appearance in the public eye to the present......
Roughly when this master was eating hot pot and singing, "Tunnel" suddenly became the No. 1 box office in the country.
Ren Yan's character of always taking an unusual path is the reason why he can say what he just said.
Apple's people were still thinking about what to do next, and when Cook was still preparing the wording, Ren Yan had already gotten up.
"That's all for today's meeting. ”
This sentence was said by Ren Yan in an extremely flat tone, without the slightest momentum that made people confused just now.
If everyone was just stunned just now, after Ren Yan said this sentence, some of the people present directly went blank in their minds.
The sentence just now can also be understood as Ren Yan's expression of attitude after hearing the conditions that are not particularly fair.
But now this sentence ......
It's clearly the meaning of sending off guests......
Cook was a little embarrassed now, and he had even regretted the usual way of talking about cooperation with others.
Just like ordinary buying and selling, cooperation is also a thing where you come and go, bargain and negotiate price terms.
But the yellow-skinned Oriental in front of him didn't seem to like this.
He was a little hesitant, although in the business world and in the entire industry, he was a figure standing on the top of the pyramid, but in the face of this seemingly ordinary Celestial Empire person, he was indeed a little flustered.
Just when everyone was embarrassed, and Cook was even more embarrassed to the point of exploding, Ren Yan's softer voice sounded.
"Mr. Cook, when we were having dinner, you just talked about your previous experience of studying at Auburn University, in fact, I am quite interested in this experience of yours, why don't we talk in another place?"
The crowd was stunned again......
If you don't do business, you're going to talk about it again?
From the unilateral termination of the cooperation meeting by Ren Yan to the time of 12 o'clock at night, Ren Yan did not talk to Cook and Apple about anything related to cooperation.
Just as he had invited Cook after the meeting, he had a real conversation with Cook all afternoon......
Even if Cook intentionally or unintentionally or indirectly or bluntly leaned on the topic of cooperation, Ren Yan did not talk to him about these things, but used other topics to skillfully bring them again and again.
The whole process led the topic and led Cook's nose, so that this figure who was surprised in the industry had no chance to explain the content of the previous meeting, let alone change the conditions to be more favorable to Loongson.
This made Cook a little anxious.
He can see the unlimited potential of Loongson in the future, and Ren Yan can also see that Apple must now get something here at Loongson in order to cope with the industry changes led by Loongson in the future.
In order to keep Apple's brand influential in this major reshuffle, the only way out can be found here at Loongson, the leader of the change.
This is Cook's way out, and it is Apple's only way out.
Ren Yan doesn't need to talk about anything in a hurry at all, because the initiative is in his hands, and it won't be him who is in a hurry.
Just wait for Cook to disarm and surrender.
For the very abrupt words at the end of today's meeting, Ren Yan did not regret it.
Even if Cook is a shrewd businessman and a respectable public figure, in the industry, in the process of foreign cooperation between Celestial Empire enterprises, most of the local enterprises of Celestial Empire are led by foreign companies.
For example, the ghost clan had a mobile phone that was going to be equipped with Sansang Orion CPU, but because the amount of chips promised by Sansang has been poorly supplied, the production capacity of that mobile phone has been insufficient in the early stage of the market, which has also led to a negative situation in the final sales.
In these few words, Ren Yan not only wants to show his attitude of not accepting, but also wants to tell Apple that it is today's Celestial Empire enterprise and today's Loongson that is definitely not the passive party.
The era of being controlled by others has passed, and the current scene is reversed!
This is what Ren Yan wants to tell Apple.
After that, he didn't talk about anything related to cooperation, and it wasn't because Ren Yan really didn't plan to cooperate with Apple, but he took a roundabout way, waiting for Cook to realize the seriousness of the problem, and waiting for him to come up with a sincere enough price.
And this time will never be too long.
Well, that night, Cook, who stayed in the best suite in a five-star hotel, didn't sleep so soundly.
The next morning, Ren Yan received a call from Cook himself.
The content of the phone call is an apology.
Yes, Cook's personal apology.
Just verbally apologized to the big brother and felt that it was not enough, and he had to let them be the east, and invite Ren Yan and other Loongson executives to the lunch banquet......
However, Ren Yan still declined.
It's not that he doesn't give face, but Cook came from thousands of miles away, which is considered a guest, and the guest invites the host in the host's yard, which is not very in line with the traditional virtues of the Celestial Empire.
Lunch, he had to invite him.
And so, almost exactly the same situation as yesterday appeared.
is still in the restaurant of Loongson headquarters, except for Zhang Yuxin, who went home to accompany his mother, the people on the seats are exactly the same.
Ren Yan still took out the good wine at the bottom of the box to entertain Cook, and the two of them also talked about red wine-related things.
At the meal, whether it was Loongson represented by Ren Yan or Apple led by Cook, no one mentioned anything related to the cooperation between the two parties.
It's like an ordinary meal, chatting while eating, and the world is where it is.
The two parties did not talk about anything at work very tacitly, but this meal was still a business meal.
It was only because of Ren Yan's words yesterday that people on the Apple side did not dare to take the initiative to deal with it anymore.
They, in this cooperation, are the ones who are slaughtered.
Such a conclusion was come up with by Cook after thinking about it all night......
He can't be blamed for being ignorant, but Cook, who is overly shrewd, is somewhat addicted to the powerful apple behind him, and under the influence of such an almost invincible brand, he sees a lot of things, but in fact, it is not as clear as ordinary people.
After the meal.
"Mr. Cook, you must not have been to our offline physical store, right? I heard from He Dong that he didn't take you there when I wasn't there before. It's still early today, so why don't I take you around myself?"
Ren Yan said such a sentence with a smile, which surprised Cook.
Although he and the rest of the Apple people have been reluctant to talk about cooperation, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to ask about it.
In fact, when chatting lightly with Ren Yanfeng, Cook was thinking about things related to cooperation in his heart every second.
It's just that because of what happened yesterday, Cook chose to wait for Ren Yan to take the initiative.
Can......
It doesn't seem that the other party meant that!
Originally, in Cook's mind, the meal had been eaten smoothly, and the meeting that had been interrupted yesterday should be resumed in the afternoon, and he would be able to renegotiate with Apple in good faith.
But......
The direction of things changed again because of Ren Yan's words.
Visiting a store?
What is there to visit!
Let's sit down and talk about cooperation!
This time, the old brother is definitely sincere, okay!
Cook's emotions are mixed......
But at this point in time, he really couldn't say anything about rejecting Ren Yan's proposal......
Just as he had come to the conclusion he had thought about all night yesterday, the initiative was now out of their hands.
"Good...... Okay......" said "OK!" with a little hesitation, and then Cook quickly adjusted his mentality, at least on the surface, and became natural again: "It's just, Mr. Ren, I don't know why you suddenly remembered to take us to visit Loongson's offline stores?"
Ren Yan smiled lightly and took a sip of the red wine in the crystal cup in his hand: "Since we have the possibility of cooperation, then the two sides still need to enhance mutual understanding. However, I think that Mr. Cook and your colleagues do not seem to have enough knowledge of our Loongson. ”
"So, I want Mr. Cook to get to know Loongson and this Celestial Empire company. ”
It seems to be a very normal reply, but when I heard Cook's heart, it was not so normal.
This is clearly another way of saying to tell him......
If you can't recognize it, I'll try to make it clear to you......
Cook nodded a little reluctantly, with a smile on his face: "That's naturally excellent." ”
Because the process of growing his wealth has been accelerating under the ability of the system, which has led to Ren Yan being very numb to expensive things such as luxury goods.
When I was poor, I dreamed of buying things, and now I hook my fingers, and no matter how much I like it, I will be numb, just like the unattainable goddess who is owned by a fat house, not to mention a year, it is also possible to get tired of it for a few months.
So Ren Yan is actually not so particular about external things now.
Despite this, Loongson's company cars are all Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8.
A convoy of several premium sedans worth millions formed a convoy to carry people from the Loongson side and the Apple side to the Loongson offline store in the magic capital.
Ren Yan used to pay special attention to offline sales, although many people will choose to buy such products online, but more people are those consumers who do not have much professional knowledge and like to go to the store to experience it on the spot.
Therefore, across the country, he prepared more than 100 direct outlets in advance.
There are a total of five magic capitals.
What Ren Yan took Cook to was the largest offline store in the magic capital, which can be called a flagship store.
Whether it is the area, the staff or the type of service provided, it is the leader in Loongson's directly operated stores.
Before arriving at the store, the team ran into problems.
The convoy was in a traffic jam a few hundred meters away from the store.
The kind that is blocked.
He Mingxuan explained to Cook in the back seat in the co-pilot.
"Mr. Cook, although our Celestial Empire is a vast land, but the traffic jam is indeed a problem, haha......"
While laughing and explaining, He Mingxuan was afraid that Cook would be dissatisfied.
However, Ren Yan, who was sitting on the right side of the back row, did not have so many concerns.
In fact, the cause of traffic jams is not the morning and evening rush hours......
But......
"Mr. Cook, it's not far from that store, and it's only two or three hundred meters away on foot, why don't we walk there?"
Cook nodded.
The group got out of the car.
In addition to the bodyguards brought by Cook himself, the strong man group also followed behind Ren Yan Cook and others.
The scene looked like a movie, which also made passers-by look at Ren Yan and others who were walking forward with stunned expressions.
"Huh...... Is that a poor brother?"
"I know the guy next to him!"
"Which one are you talking about?
"It's not...... It's the one named He Mingxuan...... Wait, that foreigner...... Why do you look so familiar?"
"Oh, I look familiar too. ”
Because of the large number of bodyguards, although curious passers-by kept stopping, there was no situation where anyone approached.
These curious passers-by all followed a few meters behind the strong man group with great tacit understanding.
A few minutes away, the melon-eating crowd that followed behind had already formed a circle.
Fortunately, next to Loongson's store, there are temporary public A security personnel on duty.
A person with an armband saying "Armed Police" walked towards Ren Yan and the others, and under the explanation of the people of the Zhuanghan Regiment, these security personnel quickly diverted a few of them, and walked with the Zhuanghan Regiment and others with guns.
In this way, the melon-eating masses in the back will be farther away.
"Mr. Ren, I have heard that the security of the Celestial Empire is excellent, but when I came to the Celestial Empire before, I didn't have a chance to know the reason, but now I finally know. Seeing the armed police with loaded guns following behind, Mr. Cook accosted Ren Yan.
Ren Yan smiled: "Mr. Cook, you probably misunderstood, not everywhere there are such armed forces on duty, the reason why the Celestial Empire is safe is because we have the 'Skynet Project' that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, that is, the monitoring probes that can be seen everywhere, which is the reason why the crime rate is very low." The guards you see are also temporarily stationed here. ”
"Oh, why are they stationed here?" Cook glanced at the armed police in standard gear behind him.
"Because, this is where the Loongson store is located...... There are too many people, so in order not to have an accident, so the government sent people. Ren Yan said.
At the same time as Ren Yan finished saying this, the crowd just walked around a corner.
The Loongson store in front is a long queue of dozens of meters from the inside to the outside, and people are constantly coming out with Loongson products.
Cook was stunned.
