Chapter 273: The Face of Lushan

The negotiations were temporarily suspended, perhaps because France Telecom did not expect Zhou Liwen to come to such a hand, and after waiting for a few days, seeing that the orz company did not have the idea of resuming negotiations at all, he couldn't help but ask Liao Yuancheng to continue the negotiations. This time, according to Zhou Liwen's instructions, Liao Yuancheng bluntly told them that because France Telecom's offer was too high, far exceeding ORZ's expectations, Liao Yuancheng was authorized to sign such an agreement, and if France Telecom did not give in on these conditions, it is estimated that there would be no tricks to talk about it in the future.

The attitude of ORZ is very tough, and France Telecom has considered coordinating with the head office, and finally decided to make some concessions, such as relaxing the conditions for authorization in the European market, and slightly increasing the proportion of ORZ. As for smartphone design and patents, it could be considered to open up to France Telecom in the form of a payment for the department, but the exact cost of this fee needs to be discussed by both parties.

In addition, after the negotiations on France Telecom these days, Liao Yuancheng is only a senior executive of the company, not a person who is really in charge, so they proposed that in the next negotiations, they hope that the CEO or chairman of ORZ can participate, and the two sides will discuss the details directly face-to-face. Otherwise, such a pointless negotiation will only waste everyone's time and energy.

After getting Liao Yuancheng's report, Zhou Liwen couldn't help crying and laughing. In fact, it is natural for Zhou Liwen to appear in such negotiations, but because of Shi Wen, Zhou Liwen did not show up from the beginning. If they show up again now, will the two parties be embarrassed, or will Shi Wen have any thoughts or dissatisfaction with Zhou Liwen's sudden appearance, which will affect the cooperation with the other party. If Zhou Liwen was not facing Shi Wen, but a male classmate, he might not care. But women sometimes think completely differently from men, and Zhou Liwen doesn't dare to guarantee what kind of reaction Shi Wen will have when she knows the truth.

But now, I'm afraid he won't be able to come forward. This project is still very important to Zhou Liwen, if it can get cooperation with the other party, Zhou Liwen's company will really take a solid step from domestic to international. For this reason, Zhou Liwen thought about it carefully, and decided to go out in person and meet this old classmate in person.

Flush City contacted the city, and Zhou Liwen put the time of the official meeting between the two sides the day after tomorrow. The next day, Zhou Liwen flew to Huacheng, and after arriving, he first met with Liao Yuancheng and others who participated in the negotiations, and made preparations for tomorrow's negotiations.

Early the next morning, Zhou Liwen came to the company in advance to deal with some work in his office, and just after nine o'clock, a secretary informed him that the representative of France Telecom had arrived.

"E1yse, who is the owner of this company?" Three representatives of France Telecom were invited into the conference room and spoke softly before the main personnel of the other party arrived, the oldest of the three was Mr. Bertrand, an engineer in the technical department of France Telecom, who was in charge of the technical details of the negotiations as a technical expert. Another young man is Dior, head of France Telecom's procurement office in Asia Pacific, who is mainly responsible for the commercial details. As for Shi Wen, as they call E1yse, she is the representative of the headquarters and the person in charge of this negotiation.

Shi Wen shook her head slightly, since she saw the smartphone that ORZ had just launched at the class reunion, as an industry person, she was very surprised that there was a mobile phone manufacturer in China that she had never heard of, and had such a novel technology and product. Considering that France Telecom is currently in the top 10 of the world's telecommunications rankings, and its operations are almost all over the world, but Orz's smartphone not only amazed her in terms of shape and function, but also aroused her interest in the company.

Although Cao Yan inquired about the information of ORZ Company, because Cao Yan's position in the mobile company was not high, and Zhou Liwen deliberately concealed the share structure of OR from the beginning. From the perspective of domestic consumers, ORz seems to be a foreign-funded enterprise and a joint venture, and the same is true abroad.

Taking advantage of the relationship between the Chinese purchasing office, Shi Wen got the two latest mobile phones on the ORZ market on the second day of the party, and when the things arrived, she sent the samples to the French headquarters quickly, and on the other hand, invited Mr. Bertrand, a technical engineer who was on a business trip in Japan, so that he could judge the potential of ORZ's smartphones in the market with a professional eye.

The reply from the French headquarters was a little slow, and when Mr. Bertrand arrived in Shanghai, he was first startled when he saw the two smartphones in front of him, and then fiddled with interest. In less than half an hour, he was very decisive to praise that this is indeed a good mobile phone, and from the design concept, this company not only has strong technical capabilities, but also has a preset for the exhibition of smart phones, he believes that with the rapid development of electronic products, smart phones will inevitably become popular, and the OR company has taken the lead without anyone watching.

Next, Mr. Bertrand tested his smartphone with his device, and he was equally excited by the results. As he imagined, the ORZ company made the smartphone not out of the moment, but with a long-term plan in mind. Not to mention, just in terms of hardware and software, the hardware aspect, whether it is the dual-core structure of the chip or the embedded use of the camera, coupled with the customized operating system of Cisco, not only makes these aspects perfectly combined, but also leaves a great room for upgrading.

What makes him pay more attention is that the operating system used by this mobile phone is open, and most of the current market is still ordinary 2G mobile phones, while color screen mobile phones, camera mobile phones, and MMS mobile phones have just begun to appear in the market, but ORz company not only comprehensively surpasses these mobile phone manufacturers in technology, but even uses mobile phones as a device similar to a computer to write a unique operating system for it. This is a big initiative, and it is also the key to the word smart in smartphones.

Mr. Bertrand's main research area is communication electronics, but he also has a background in computers, and he decisively judged that the ORz company was ambitious, and the introduction of the smartphone represented their ambitious strategy in the mobile phone business. Moreover, the open system can enable smartphones to seize the opportunity in future applications. As the world's largest PC software company, the key to Microsoft's success is the emergence of open, compatible computers, which created a large number of PC companies, and Apple eventually lost the PC race with their closed systems. These are the lessons of history, in this regard, he immediately wrote a report on the OR smartphone to the headquarters, urging the headquarters of France Telecom to seize this opportunity to obtain the operator agency rights in Europe and even South America and other countries.

Shi Wen's construction, coupled with Mr. Bertrand's detailed technical report, made the France Telecom headquarters, which had not paid much attention to this item at first, aroused. Not long after, after Nokia's promotion conference for their new generation of smartphones was officially held, France Telecom made up its mind to immediately start negotiations with ORZ, and entrusted Shi Wen who was responsible for the negotiations to China, and also asked the Asia-Pacific side to fully cooperate.

After receiving the authorization, Shi Wen had already learned about the situation of the ORZ company through the Guò channel. But because Zhou Liwen hid too deeply, and he almost never showed up, Shi Wen didn't know that the boss of this company was actually an old classmate who used to take the same elevator as her and sat together chatting and laughing.

The information in Shi Wen's hands only shows that the shareholding structure of ORZ is intricate, including the stake in the China Shanghai Sea Research Institute, the stake of some independent shareholders, and even the stake in the American company Scopa. In addition to this, there are also stakes in two Hong Kong companies, plus stakes in two offshore companies. After finding this, Shi Wen can no longer find out, but she believes that those Hong Kong companies or offshore companies are some financial means of this company controlled by the real boss of Orz Company, but as for who this boss is, whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, these are all a mystery.

Today, the mystery was finally revealed, and Shi Wen and her assistants waited patiently for the negotiations to officially begin, and on the other hand, they were curious and eager to see for themselves the real people who spoke about the company. Thinking of this, Shi Wen even felt a little nervous, because the negotiations in these days made her feel a lot of pressure, and the progress of things was not as smooth as she had expected, on the contrary, the other party almost did not give an inch to some important aspects.

The time was fast approaching, and at nine thirty o'clock, the negotiators of the ORZ company entered the conference room. The first to come is the secretary of the general office of ORZ, she is the secretary of the meeting recorder, she will participate in the previous meetings every time, Shi Wen is no stranger to this little girl who sits on the side and never makes a sound, and records the meeting minutes with paper and pen. Coming in was followed by the manager of the international department of ORZ, followed by Liao Yuancheng, and after Liao Yuancheng was lawyer consultant Pang Yishan. These people have dealt with each other many times and are very familiar. And when the last person walked into the conference room, the French knew immediately that it would be the mysterious boss of the Orz company who had never appeared before.

A second before Zhou Liwen walked into the venue, Shi Wen was still secretly guessing who the person she was going to see today, but when Zhou Liwen's figure really appeared in front of her, Shi Wen was stunned at first, and then her eyes widened incredibly, and even her lipstick-wearing mouth couldn't help but open into an O-shape.
