Chapter 275: Hints

Zhou Liwen did not wait long, and an hour later, France Telecom made a decision to continue negotiations on the basis of the previous exchanges of views between the two sides. The obstacles were removed, and Zhou Liwen's side also returned to the conference room, and the two sides began to discuss some details of their differences.

In the formal discussion, the basic commercial terms and technical aspects are negotiated by the personnel of all parties, and Zhou Liwen only sits in the main seat and listens to them bargain over coffee, unless there is a stalemate, Zhou Liwen plays a round as the chairman of ORZ, or proposes some tactful and mutually acceptable way.

As for Shi Wen, it is almost the same, maybe it was an hour that gave her enough calm decision, she was in the middle and coordinated like Zhou Liwen, but she also held the final right to determine. In this way, both sides have a buffer, and the atmosphere of the negotiation is much better than before.

From morning to afternoon, at noon, everyone did not rest much, only used a few sandwiches to hastily solve the belly problem, and the two sides have been in the process of negotiation back and forth.

By half past five in the afternoon, it was getting late outside, and the two sides had reached an agreement on several aspects, and the talks had to continue in other places. However, this cannot be today, the situation of a few days of negotiation is very common in business, and neither Zhou Liwen nor France Telecom has ever had the luxury of solving all problems in one day.

The secretary compiled today's memorandum of discussion into a book and distributed it to both sides, and both sides signed it on the spot after seeing that there were no problems, so as to determine the results of today's negotiations and the content of tomorrow's continuation. As the host, Zhou Liwen invited the other party to have a meal, but Shi Wen refused, in her words, their work has not been completed, and they have to report today's progress to the French headquarters after returning to the hotel. What's more, in the case that the final agreement has not yet been signed, as a negotiating party, it is not convenient to accept the invitation of the other party, so it is better to talk about this after the negotiation is over.

Zhou Liwen smiled and didn't care, got up and shook hands with each other to say goodbye. After sending Shi Wen away, Zhou Liwen held a small meeting to discuss tomorrow's negotiation strategy and bottom line, and waited until about seven o'clock, when Zhou Liwen, who was a little tired, left the company.

I took the car in the parking lot just now, and before Zhou Liwen moved, the mobile phone on the dashboard rang, Zhou Liwen picked up the phone and smiled, replied with a brief text message, and then stepped on the accelerator lightly on the fire and drove out of the parking lot.

Half an hour later, Zhou Liwen came to the vicinity of the art museum, this place is located on Ersha Island, the scenery is very good, but there are not many ordinary people. To the north of the museum, near the park, there is a café facing the river. Stopped the car at the door of the café, walked in, walked through the corridor, and came to the second floor.

"I'm not late, am I?" Zhou Liwen walked straight up to her, sat down opposite her and asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm ten minutes late." Shi Wen gently stirred a cup of coffee with a spoon, and glanced slightly at her left wrist wearing a watch.

"Hehe, you can't blame me, I was still in the company when you texted." Zhou Liwen made a helpless gesture, at this time the waiter came to him and asked Zhou Liwen softly what he wanted to use, Zhou Liwen thought about it and ordered a cup of Mocha, and then asked the waiter to bring him another glass of lemonade.

"Drink lemonade? How? On fire these days? After the waiter left, Shi Wen asked coldly.

Zhou Liwen smiled and shook his head: "This is for you, women, drink less coffee, lemonade can be used for beauty." ”

"You're ......!" Shi Wen glared at him a little angrily, she just alluded to Zhou Liwen's anger, who would have thought that Zhou Liwen would push this trick on his head with a too high level, but instead found a high-sounding reason.

I don't know how to spread my anger, since I suddenly saw Zhou Liwen today, Shi Wen was angry, for no other reason, she hid her identity for Zhou Liwen and never appeared, and she hid behind the scenes and watched herself toss, which was really not enough for old classmates.

This is also the reason why Shi Wen went-for-tat with him at the beginning of today's negotiations, although in the end her reason prevailed over anger, and the later negotiations came back to normal. It doesn't mean that Shi Wen's tone is gone, and she quietly asked Zhou Liwen to this place behind everyone's back, she just wanted to ask why this hateful guy was hiding from herself.

"I'm hiding it from you? This is even more unjust than Dou E! Zhou Liwen put on a very innocent expression and said: "I'm not in Huacheng, I've been staying in Huhai all the time." Besides, my wife is about to give birth with a big belly, you know all this! This kind of negotiation has long been handed over to the people of the company to handle, how did I know it would be you. What's more, if you want to hide it, it is you who first hide it from me, why didn't you say that you were an independent director of France Telecom and a senior employee of Orangesa at the class reunion that day? ”

"Nonsense, why are you talking about this at the class reunion?" Shi Wen glanced at Zhou Liwen.

"yes, what are you talking about?" Zhou Liwen spread his hands with a smile.

With a snort, Shi Wen covered her mouth and laughed, indeed as she said herself, where is there an old class reunion to deliberately boast of her identity? Since she thinks so and does this, it is normal for Zhou Liwen not to tell him about his identity. There is nothing wrong with this incident, it is just a coincidence.

With this smile, the tense atmosphere just now suddenly dissipated, two old classmates, you look at me, I look at you, they are all enduring. After being happy for a while, Shi Wen looked at Zhou Liwen in front of her, and admired with some envy: "Old classmate, I really didn't expect you to make such a big career, your orz company has a very good future, if nothing else, you will be the world's mobile phone industry, including the IT industry, in a few years, as an old classmate, I admire you." ”

Zhou Liwen shook his head and smiled: "Coming to this point is half hard work, half luck. To be honest, the original purpose of founding ORZ was to make money, to make enough money for yourself and your family to live a better life. ”

"That's true!" Shi Wen nodded with some feeling, picked up the coffee cup and said with a smile: "Come on!" A real drink for an old classmate? ”

"Touch a glass!" Zhou Liwen smiled and picked up his coffee.

After taking a sip of coffee, Zhou Liwen asked Shi Wen with some curiosity how she became an independent director of France Telecom, for this question, Shi Wen lost her mind for a while, thought silently and smiled: "By chance, you know, my grades were not good when I was studying, and after graduation, I thought that I would find a good husband to marry in my life, and I looked plain." But then my family sent me to the United States, and when I was in the United States, I happened to meet my current husband, who is French, and I went to France to ...... after marrying him. ”

Shi Wen didn't continue to say what happened, but Zhou Liwen had vaguely guessed the answer. It seems that this old classmate is also a person with a story, and everyone has their own **, just click to the end.

The two chatted slowly over coffee, but they didn't talk about work, except for some past topics that were not finished at the last class reunion, they also talked about the countryside in Europe, especially France, and some interesting things.

For France, Zhou Liwen also visited the flowers when he traveled to Europe in his previous life, but some of the beautiful scenery and interesting stories of the French countryside that Shi Wen said still made him very interested, and even when Shi Wen talked about the scene when she would go to the nearby orchard owner every year to help pick grapes and spend the grape festival with them, Zhou Liwen listened with relish.

The conversation lasted more than an hour, and after drinking two cups of coffee, it was not too early, and since we had to continue the discussion tomorrow, everyone had to go back early to rest. When they broke up, Zhou Liwen drove Shi Wen directly to the hotel, and when she got out of the car, Shi Wen suddenly said to Zhou Liwen: "Old classmate, don't think that what I said this morning was because of anger, give you a little advice, pay attention to hTc." Alright, we'll see you tomorrow! ”

"See you tomorrow!"

Zhou Liwen watched Shi Wen enter the elevator in the parking lot, he didn't leave immediately, but subconsciously lit a cigarette.

took a puff of cigarette, and the gray smoke filled the carriage, and Zhou Liwen frowned slightly. What did Shi Wen's last words mean before leaving? Note hTc? Was it not unwillingness that she threatened at the beginning of the morning's negotiations? But hTc has already started to engage with European operators? If it is really as she said, then it is completely wrong for Shi Wen to play with a woman's pettiness, on the contrary, she is hinting at herself in this way? Thinking of this, Zhou Liwen couldn't sit still, and hurriedly took out the phone and called Liao Yuancheng, asking him to immediately convene a temporary meeting with everyone and prepare a backup plan, so as not to be accidentally intercepted.

The negotiations continued the next day, and Zhou Liwen, who was still in good spirits, was still sitting in the main seat as yesterday, taking charge of the progress of the negotiations. But if you look closely at his eyes, you can see that there is a slight bloodshot in his eyes, which is due to the fact that he didn't sleep much last night.

There is no feedback from the Taiwan Strait, and it is uncertain whether hTc has contacted European telecom operators. However, he knew that hTc started in Europe, which was already an event in history, so he did not dare to be careless about it.

In order to avoid uncertain factors, Zhou Liwen decided last night that while ensuring the main interests, he could make some concessions to France Telecom, so as to sign the agreement as soon as possible. Under this premise, today's negotiation process is obviously much faster than yesterday, and after the third day of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on all links, and when the representatives of both sides officially signed, it marked the official establishment of the ORZ and France Telecom's operation project in Europe from this date.
