Chapter 742: The Comer Is Not Good
Yulia's place of hospitality is very vulgar, called leftbank, Left Bank! As soon as he heard this name with a strong literary style, Hong Tao knew that there was nothing to look forward to, and the French restaurant would not be able to run. Hong Tao doesn't like this kind of place where he has to dress neatly for dinner, he would rather go to a street food stall and play shirtless than go to this kind of place to suffer foreign crimes. But it wasn't him who invited guests, the most important thing was that Yulia, Tan Jing and Ah Shan all liked to pretend to be at this level, and Hong Tao was as good as a stream. Again, on issues that are not principled, Hong Tao can compromise anything, and making these women happy is his important task. When they are happy, they can willingly earn money for themselves, and they must have the consciousness of eating soft rice.
When you go to this kind of place to eat, eat second, and show yourself in front of your own kind is the key. Not to mention Yulia and Tan Jing, who are not married, even Ah Shan, a woman who has become a wife, can't help but put on what she thinks is the most beautiful, sexy, and elegant clothes, and then bring the most precious and high-grade jewelry, and she has to do hair, beauty, and nail art before she can appear in this kind of restaurant. The time to eat is one hour, and the preparation time is four hours, Hong Tao is about to be starved into bed bugs, and the three women are still carefully groomed in the beauty salon.
"I said Hong Tao, you are a little abnormal today, why do you have to be so obedient?" Ah Shan is the most thief, she can see from Hong Tao's many subtle surfaces that he doesn't like this restaurant, but he has been holding back his voice and forcing a smile.
"That's necessary, now you three are my bosses, and I'm your servant. As long as you are happy, it is my greatest wish. Die without regrets!" Hong Tao said this nonsense, his eyes were looking at the two white girls passing by. It's also a joy for others.
"That's a nice thing to say, but it's even better if you can take your eyes off someone's ass. Tan Jing and Yulia, he is with the three of us, and he dares to peek at other women, what do you say!" Ah Shan also learned badly, dared to make fun of Hong Tao, and dared to provoke the masses to fight the masses.
Disrespecting women has severe consequences. Hong Tao was punished for taking turns carrying the three of them on his back and walking more than two kilometers before returning to their apartment. Originally, Tan Jing and Yulia lived together, but after Ah Shan came, the three of them squeezed together. In fact, there is an apartment downstairs, which Nina and Han Yan live in, but as soon as Oya and Oski are on vacation, Nina runs back to take care of the children, and the apartment is empty. But Hong Tao was reluctant to go. One is Heizi's daughter-in-law, the other is Han Yan, whose bed does he sleep in? Instead of this, it is better to lay on the carpet.
Although Hong Tao has already set the tone for this negotiation. At dinner just now, arrangements were also made for the next few days' negotiations, but the three women still took out a lot of materials for him to see, and then talked about it all night. Tossed until more than 1 o'clock before Hong Tao was allowed to sleep.
Dominic Anderson, a big white man in his forties. At least two meters tall, eagle-eyed and hawk-nosed. Typical descendants of the Norsemen sit on a chair as if they were squatting on a wooden stick, how they look like mountain eagles. He is the vice president of Dell's domestic purchasing department, and he is an acquaintance to Tan Jing, because from beginning to end, he is in charge of the procurement contracts signed by Dell from F&A and AIGO.
Andy Bryce, a middle-aged white woman with black hair and black eyes, may be of a bit Latin descent, with slightly darker skin, but her eyes are shining, her face is extremely stern, and she sits in a chair like a soldier, with a straight pen. She is even bigger than Dominic Anderson, the CEO of Microsoft's Entertainment Division.
These two people occupied one end of the long conference table, and the side by the window was full of their secretaries, assistants, lawyers and other entourages, and only 4 seats were reserved for the aigo company on the side of the door. This is still in the conference room of the Aigo company, that is, the away game, and if they arrive at their home stadium, Hong Tao even doubts that they will let themselves stand and answer questions.
There were only 4 people attending the meeting today, Tan Jing is the general manager of the company, Hong Tao has become Aite Hong, the title is the company's technical consultant, the other two are Tan Jing's secretary and a perennial legal adviser of the company, and the 4 people are exactly 4 chairs. Yulia and Ah Shan Hongtao didn't let them show up, they are now people from Crystal Orchid Capital, and they have nothing to do to go to Aigo Company to participate in business negotiations, isn't it three hundred taels of silver here.
As soon as we met, we were still very enthusiastic, introducing each other's participants, and at the same time greeting each other, talking about the weather, talking about clothing, praising hair, praising complexion or something, a group of harmony, even the class struggle face of Ms. Bryce was smiling. However, this atmosphere only lasted less than ten minutes, and a purchasing manager of Dell took the lead in bringing the topic into the right track, and then the temperature in the entire conference room immediately dropped, and the smiles on everyone's faces were instantly blown away by this cold air.
Originally, Hong Tao wondered how the two companies of Dell and Microsoft could come together, but after listening to Anderson's opening remarks, he somewhat understood what the two of them had in mind. The $30 million purchase price is not all 30 million, but Dell and Microsoft each paying 30 million to acquire 27 percent of Aigo's shares.
This move is very interesting, the two of them want to get their hands on AIGO's technology, but they are not worried about each other, so they actually figured out such a way and played Three Kingdoms. If this share distribution ratio is followed, then any two shareholders join forces, and the remaining one will be unlucky, that is, in the days to come, Dell, Microsoft and Aigo will have to guard against each other and hook up with each other.
When he thought of this complicated relationship like a triangular debt, Hong Tao's head hurt. These big companies may not take this seriously, there are many people under them, and some of them are playing this master, but Hong Tao can't do it, he is the most annoying to fight with others. The chairman said that fighting with people is endless, and he has never found out where this fun is, so forget it, don't have fun looking for fun, veto!
"I'm sorry, we don't need any kind of funding just yet, and if we need it in the future, I'll be the first to go to you two. Tan Jing saw Hong Tao pinching his nose with his hand, and immediately rejected this mention.
"No, no, no, this is not possible, our company needs a very large amount of purchases. If you only rely on your factory in China, I will probably calculate, I am afraid that the annual output of 3 million units will not even reach, and our Dell company sells 2 million units in a quarter, even if your company only produces one for us, it is still far from enough. So I set up a partnership to build a large factory in California with an annual production capacity of more than 10 million mice, which will not reduce your income, but more. In addition, Ms. Bryce also plans to produce your company's mouse, turning authorized production into cooperative production, although it doesn't sound suitable in the short term, but don't forget, the Windows system is the only large-scale popular graphics operating system on the market, and with its technical support, your company's mouse is equivalent to an insurance, isn't it?"
"We can license it to your company, and you can produce it alone! If the annual production reaches 10 million, the license fee will be halved, and there is no restriction on whether it is used by your company itself, and it can be put into the US market. Dell was the first supporter of AIGO, and we were very generous to our friends. Hong Tao saw that Tan Jing had nothing to say, he could only be on top of himself, and he couldn't just say nothing.
"......" The big man Anderson didn't expect Hong Tao to answer like this, he really couldn't find anything wrong for a while. Hong Tao's mention is very preferential to Dell, and even gives up the interests of AIGO. But the problem is that he didn't come here to make money with the mouse, or that he didn't want this license, but he wanted this technology, so he couldn't agree.
"Miss Tan, this is ......" Seeing that Anderson was temporarily dumbfounded, Bryce immediately picked up the conversation, giving the allies a time to think without causing the negotiations to reach an impasse.
"I am one of the owners and inventors of the mouse patent, my original name is Hong Tao, and I know you again. Hong Tao simply stood up, directly reported his true identity, and then stretched out his hand.
"Oh God, you're too young, I want to ask a question that has nothing to do with the negotiation, okay?" Ms. Bryce obviously made Hong Tao's introduction a little uncomfortable, they hadn't considered it before they came, but she was more cunning than Anderson, and directly changed the subject.
"Please ......" Hong Tao shook Anderson's hand again, then sat down again, waiting for Bryce to ask her question.
"You're a Chinese, aren't you? But your company is an American company and your factory is located in China, which makes me wonder a little about the purpose of doing this...... "Bryce is not only more cunning than Anderson, but also more vicious than Anderson!"
This question is very painful, and if Hong Tao does not answer well, there may be a news item in the "San Francisco Chronicle" tomorrow, saying that AIGO has a Chinese government background or something, no matter where the news comes from, anyway, AIGO will wait for the US government's commercial investigation agency to come and go back and forth, and this is a complete scandal, no matter what the outcome is.
