Chapter 80: Commoda and Microsoft
The Peninsula Hong Kong is one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and the world, facing Victoria Harbour and enjoying sea views from the upper floors. www.biquge.info The last time I came to Hong Kong, Liu Si only stayed in a 3-star hotel, and this time I honestly didn't want to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, but this time I came to Hong Kong to negotiate with CBM to renew the contract and complete the last contract, this negotiation is about at least 1 billion US dollars, for the sake of face, he decided to be extravagant.
This time on behalf of the company to negotiate is Kangmaoda CEO Jamila, since the signing of the right to operate and sell with the Palm Fun operating system, his life has become more and more chic, and he has become a rising star of science and technology in the United States.
The important thing is that he is a veteran employee of Kangmaoda, and he has obtained a lot of shares under the equity incentive, and he is worth tens of millions of dollars based on the market value of Kangmaoda Company of 20 billion US dollars.
"Mr. Liu, I'm very happy to know you." Jamila stood up and was nearly 180 tall, much taller than Liu Dashao, who was 168, "This time on behalf of Kangmaoda Company, I will talk to Mr. Liu about the renewal of the contract of Zhangqu Operating System, my name is Jamila, I hope we have a happy negotiation result." ”
The venue for the negotiations was a mid-sized meeting room at The Peninsula Hotel, located on the upper floors, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Victoria Harbour and the sea.
"Mr. President, I think it is better to negotiate the renewal of the contract after the completion of the previous contract, what do you think?" This time the matter was very big, so Liu Si was also well prepared, lawyers, accountants, translators, public relations talents, etc. were indispensable, and it cost $1 million just to form this team.
The team of Kangmaoda this time is not simple, at least from where to get the information in Madrid, this time the company formed the whole team and invited many American lawyers, accountants and other industry elites.
The teams on both sides had already collected each other's information before the negotiations, so Liu Si and Jamila were able to talk so calmly and easily.
"Mr. Liu's request is very reasonable, so please ask Mr. Liu to instruct your subordinates to follow my people to get the financial statements, and we will talk about the renewal of the contract after Mr. Liu's accounting staff has audited it." Jamila is very confident, because he can be sure that the dirt bun must not have seen so much money, and he will obediently run to renew the contract.
"Mr. Jamila, have a meal together?" Today's meeting was only a few words, and Liu Si had already decided not to cooperate with Kangmaoda in his heart, so his meeting with Jamila in the conference room was just perfunctory.
"Okay!" Jamila stared at Jiang Zixuan with great interest, Liu Si frowned slightly, and didn't like the way this foreign devil looked at Jiang Zixuan.
Liu Si was very depressed at this lunch, and even felt angry in his heart. Jamila accosted Jiang Zixuan with a dead face in English, Liu Dashao, who didn't know English, couldn't interject a word, Jamila's behavior of digging a corner in front of him made his lungs explode.
Liu Si, who returned to the room, got the preliminary audit results of the team, and according to the preliminary audit results obtained from the three basic financial statements of his income statement, asset responsibility statement and cash flow statement, Liu Si was only able to get 427.49 million US dollars in annual dividends, which was as much as 1.2 billion US dollars different from the audit results of Kangmaoda's internal accounting personnel.
"Damn, **** ......" saw the report, coupled with the anger of lunch, it detonated all of a sudden, and the tea set in the suite suffered and was broken a lot.
After calming down his excitement, it occurred to him that since Kang Maoda was unkind, he should not blame him for his injustice. Liu Si sorted out the image, walked out of the room and knocked on the door of another room next to him.
"Bang Bang ......"
Du Jiabin is very strange who knocked on his door, Bill has not yet arrived in Hong Kong, and the rest of his relatives and friends do not know that he came to Hong Kong, after all, this is a secret operation, and Liu Si should be negotiating with Kangmaoda Company!
"Please come in!" Out of politeness, he stood up and went to open the door in person, and was surprised to see Liu Si, "Liu Shao didn't negotiate with Kangmaoda Company?" ”
"Mr. Du is still satisfied with my arrangement, right?" Liu Si did not answer Du Jiabin's question positively, did he tell Du Jiabin that it was not pleasant to meet and negotiate with Kangmaoda Company in the morning?
"If the Peninsula Hotel is not satisfied, I really don't know that hotel in Hong Kong can compare." Du Jiabin let half of his body invite Liu Shao into the room, and after sitting down on the sofa in the living room on both sides, he said, "Liu Shao is here to visit this time, right?" ”
"All of them are human spirits" complained in his heart, it is indeed not easy for people who can leave a mark in history, "Nothing to do is to go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time I always want to ask President Bill when he will arrive in Hong Kong, and I as the host must also prepare for it, President Bill arrives in Hong Kong I want to pick up the airport and welcome President Bill's arrival." ”
Asked about the renewal of the contract between Palmfun Operating System and Kangmaoda, Liu Si avoided answering, and now he is so enthusiastic about Bill Gates' itinerary that Du Jiabin has to wonder what is wrong between Liu Si and Kangmaoda. It's just that Liu Si didn't answer, Kangmaoda and Microsoft were rivals again, and he really couldn't get any news.
"Tomorrow at 9:30 a.m., President Bill's plane will arrive at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport." This time he attached great importance to the negotiation with Liu Si on the Zhangqu operating system, and Du Jiabin knew from the phone that if Liu Si was unhappy because of his own reasons, his position as president of Microsoft China would come to an end.
"Well, tomorrow I will go to the airport with Mr. Du to pick up the airport, Mr. Du has no opinion, right?"
"I feel very honored to be able to greet President Bill with Liu Shao, and I think President Bill will be very happy when he finds out." In the early stage of promoting Microsoft in China, Du Jiabin communicated with the leaders of relevant state departments and some entrepreneurs, and he was not stupid.
"Well, the convoy to the airport tomorrow will be arranged by me, the host!"
The next day, the weather was nice and sunny, the November sun was warm and the sea breeze from Victoria Harbour was even cooler, and people couldn't help but enjoy the day.
Jamila was in a good mood, it was a good day, the sky was cloudless, the sun was shining straight into the conference room, and the cup of coffee on the conference table was still steaming. If the contract can be renewed today, Jamila decided to try the taste of Hong Kong stars, and heard that the price is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and with the upcoming contract, 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is just a small meaning.
"Mr. Jamila, in view of the fact that we are still auditing the financial position of your company, we have decided to adjourn the meeting for the time being." The personnel sent by Liu Si bowed to the personnel of Kangmaoda Company, "I'm very sorry!" ”
"You just sent you to inform you, what about Mr. Liu?" Jamila felt scorned, it had been a year, it hadn't been like this in a long time, and even the guys on the board didn't dare do that to her.
"Liu Shao has already gone to the airport to receive a very important guest who is about to come, and I am very sorry that I can't come in person." Liu Si was very angry at Jamila's behavior and the foolery of Kangmaoda Company, and he didn't plan to hide it when he went to meet Bill Gates at the airport this time, and it was best to be angry with Jamila.
"What customers are important to us, Mr. Liu's business with us is as high as more than 400 million US dollars." Is it the president of Kangmaoda Company, the thoughts in his heart quickly calmed down, and he looked directly at the accountant in front of him and asked lightly.
"President of Microsoft, Mr. Bill Gates." Bill Gates's fame is not to be said, the accountant assigned by Liu Si admires Bill very much, but he doesn't know Jamila, a rising technology star in the United States, "Mr. Jamila, I will leave first." ”
Regardless of Jamila's thoughts, at least sitting in the car on the way to Kai Tak Airport, he Liu Dashao was extremely happy in his heart. hugged Jiang Zixuan, who was sitting in the back seat, and kissed her on the face, almost laughing.
"Boss, I ......" was suddenly attacked, and Jiang Zixuan was very ashamed.
"What do you want to say?"
The convoy that went to Kai Tak Airport to pick up the airport had 7 cars, all of which were Mercedes-Benz 560s leased by Xu Gang yesterday, including one for Xu Gang and Liu's father, one for Liu Si, Zhou Chang and Jiang Zixuan, and the rest of the cars were to meet Bill Gates and his companions.
With the distinctive whistling sound of jet planes, the Boeing 747 from Washington, D.C., slowly landed on the runway of Kai Tak Airport, and Bill Gates, together with his secretary, bodyguards, assistants and other entourage, rushed to the exit with the tide of passengers.
"President Bill, you're very welcome." Liu Si walked towards Bill Gates, he had seen a lot of photos and videos of him on the Internet in his previous life, so he was naturally no stranger to Bill Gates.
"Mr. Liu, I'm very happy to know you. Chinese are brilliant, and there are many compatriots of Mr. Liu under Microsoft, and I have been yearning for China for a long time. "Bill Gates's level of speech is very high, at least it makes Liu Si feel more face-saving.
"Sir, PalmFun Computer Technology Co., Ltd. has arranged a room for you at The Peninsula Hotel."
Bill Gates retreated from the bodyguards who were protecting the left and right, because Du Jiabin had sent him a fax, and he was no stranger to Liu Si's face, "Mr. Liu, my subordinates are not sensible, I'm very sorry." Since Mr. Liu has booked a room at The Peninsula Hotel, let's go over first! ”
"Would Mr. Bill mind sharing a car with me?"
"Of course not!"
"Please!"
"Together, Mr. Liu, please!"
