Chapter 514: Creativity
readx; It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that Shi Lei and Qin Mubei returned the horse to the racecourse, and then drove to the restaurant she had agreed with Louis. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFrom this point of view, Louis is really a very interesting person, although lunch will definitely not be a meal for a Frenchman, but he and Qin Mubei came out of the golf course, it was already after twelve o'clock, and he was a little hungry before he was ready to eat. But when he saw Shi Lei, he could wait silently in the restaurant for more than an hour without complaint, without even making a phone call, which is absolutely impossible in China.
Imagine if this is replaced by a senior executive of a domestic telecommunications company, even if he knows that Shi Lei and Qin Mubei's identities are special and dare not say anything, I am afraid that he will be very unhappy when Shi Lei takes Qin Mubei away, even if this Chinese food is not canceled, he will definitely be slandered, and he will never help Qin Mubei pull a chair with great grace after Shi Lei and Qin Mubei enter the restaurant, and immediately eagerly talk to Shi Lei.
"I'm not very good at French, if you don't mind, Luis, shall we talk in English?" Louis had a series of French, and Shi Lei could only guess what he meant.
"Oh, I'm very sorry, I saw that Qin's French is very good, and I thought your French was just as good." Louis immediately changed to English and repeated what he had just said: "It's nice to meet you, you need to know that I used to pursue Qin very eagerly, but Qin refused to give me a chance at all, she told me that she already had a boyfriend." And in our France, even married women are easily pursued by other men, so I have always held a deep grudge against you. But when I saw you outside the stadium just now, I didn't want to duel with you anymore, not because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to beat you, but because I felt that Qin's choice was correct. ”
Shi Lei smiled and nodded: "Can I understand this as your compliment to me?" ”
"Of course, that's a compliment." Louis made no secret of his emotions.
"I'm sorry, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we talked a little longer. Oh, I don't seem to have introduced myself yet, my name is Shi Lei. Shi Lei did not say his identity, he believes that although the French are particularly romantic, they will never be ignorant in business activities, and they will not even understand the corporate executive structure of their negotiation opponents.
Louis was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "It turns out that you are Shi!" I know the history of the development of the Stone Group, and this is almost a legendary novel. I know that many of your Chinese companies are quite related to the political axe department, but even so, I still admire you. Although I already know that you are very young from your profile, only people who see you will feel that you are really as young as in your profile. Amazing young man! ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Shi Lei smiled, but he was not modest.
Qin Mubei interjected lightly at this time: "Stone Group is not the same as many other companies in China, our dependence on the political axe is quite low, including the cross-platform technical standard that I want to formulate when I purchased the right to use your patent a few days ago, in order to make this standard smoothly become a substitute part after the announcement of the 3G standard, our group has paid a great price, but did not use the administrative means of the political axe to intervene." We are not a company controlled by the Chinese political axe. ”
Hearing Qin Mubei's almost deliberate explanation, Shi Lei suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, fortunately Qin Mubei was there, otherwise if he didn't make a statement on Louis's words just now, it might really affect the outcome of the negotiation with France Telecom. No enterprise, or a real commercial enterprise, will like to deal with the political axe department, although the political axe control means, although it can help the development of the enterprise, but at the same time will also bring many uncontrollable factors to the development of the enterprise. The freedom of the market is one of the most important parts pursued by enterprises, especially those in Europe and the United States.
"Shi, is what Qin said true?" Louis looked at Shi Lei.
Shi Lei nodded: "The degree of freedom of the Stone Group is very high, and it should not bring inconvenience to our cooperation with any enterprise." But when it comes to what we are currently negotiating, I have to admit that we don't have that much influence on that. In China, the telecommunications industry is a monopoly of the political axe, and the enterprises are just participating, including the three representative companies that came to Paris to participate in the ITU 3G standard release meeting, Datang Telecom is the enterprise run by the political axe, but it occupies an absolute dominant position, and we and Huawei are only assisting Datang Telecom. ”
Qin Mubei seemed to feel that Shi Lei didn't need to say so clearly, so he couldn't help but glance at Shi Lei, but Shi Lei insisted on being the same and did not accept Qin Mubei's hint.
"Then why are you here to talk and not Datang Telecom?" Louis did not show any dissatisfaction with Shi Lei's truth, and seemed to be quite interested in Shi Lei's confession.
Shi Lei smiled and said: "What the political axe has mastered is more about the formulation and planning of standards, and finally returns to the market, and it is still the enterprise to do things." Mr. Luis, assuming such a premise, you are ready to use the TD-SCDMA standard and are starting to prepare for the construction of the pilot network. So, do you want the comprehensive solution of this test network to be provided by our Stone Group, or do you want Datang Telecom founded by Zhengaxe to provide it? ”
Louis laughed: "Shi, you are a very powerful negotiator, but you can't convince me, how can you be sure that after we reach a negotiation cooperation with you, you will take the lead in providing a comprehensive solution?" ”
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "The current situation is more complicated, of course I can't be sure of anything. It's just that as long as you still want to use the TD-SCDMA standard, you are bound to cooperate with our Chinese enterprises. In fact, even if we finally negotiate the cooperation intention by Stone Group, there is still a very high possibility that Datang will be the main solution provider. However, at least if you hand over the contract to the Stone Group, you will have the opportunity to provide a solution from a company that is not affected by the political axe, and your negotiation partner is Datang, then you must be cooperating with the Chinese political axe department. There are two paths, one with hope for change and the other with nothing, and no matter how sure I am, Mr. Louis might as well choose it. ”
"Hahahaha, Shi, I like you more and more." Louis seems to be laughing all the time, this guy seems to love to laugh, but Shi Lei doesn't feel that he has a wisdom bead in his hand because of Louis's smile, this smile may mean anything.
"But it was this beautiful lady that I liked...... Oh, my princess is already hungry, Monsieur Louis, should we eat first, there is still plenty of time in the afternoon, and we can go back to the Seine and talk slowly. ”
Louis looked at his watch and suddenly shook his head seriously: "I still have a meeting at half past four in the afternoon, and the assistant reminded me just now." I'm afraid I can't talk to you in detail. One last question, the last one, after asking us we can start eating. ”
Shi Lei spread his right hand: "Excuse me." ”
"In addition to your Stone Group, and Datang Telecom, which is subordinate to the political axe, Shi, you should know that we also have Huawei as the object of choice. As far as I know, or based on the current situation, Huawei is a company that is better than you in terms of strength. ”
Shi Lei nodded: "I admit this, in terms of enterprise strength, Huawei is better than us in many ways." But what I would like to tell Mr. Louis is that the greatest strength of the Stone Group is our way of thinking, as evidenced by all the projects that have been built since the establishment of our Group. I have no intention of denigrating Hua why, however, they are inferior to us in creativity. ”
"Not as creative as you? So why do they have more technology patents than yours? Also better! ”
"Mr. Louis, creativity is not only limited to technical strength, Huawei has been developing for more than ten years, we have only been three years, we can not analyze the proportion of technology patents that can be seen at this stage, and we cannot analyze the proportion of accumulation, which is not the answer that data can give. Including this cross-platform technical standard, we even used one of your French Telecom's technology patents, but is it because you French Telecom does not have the ability to re-develop? Obviously not, that's what foreshadows our creativity. ”
Louis's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about the creativity that Shi Lei was talking about, and then asked: "Shi, do you mean that it is like the new advertising model created by Shengshi Communication, a subsidiary of your group?" ”
Shi Lei smiled, noncommittal, some answers don't need to be said in person, often let the other party think for themselves, it will be more convincing.
"Alright, I think we can start our lunch, Shi, you must try the 69-year-old bottle of wine I have here." It seems that Louis really admires Shi Lei, and even opened a bottle of red wine that is very old when they met for the first time, especially when he had a meeting two hours later.
When the waiter started serving them, Louis said again: "Shi, if, I mean if, if we can really work together, I hope you can do your best to become the lead provider of comprehensive solutions for the Experimentnet, and I'd love to see how far your creativity can go." ”
"It's a great honor, from the perspective of our own development alone, of course I think the same way, which requires the joint efforts of both of us!" Shi Lei smiled, turned his face to look at Qin Mubei, although Qin Mubei's face had no expression, but when he looked at Shi Lei, there seemed to be many layers of rich meaning
