Chapter 81 Second-rate does not need to use third-rate
Lu Yang picked up the phone at hand.
"Hello, I'm Lu Yang, who is it?"
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm George Crusey, the head of Apple's Asian market." Said a man on the other side who spoke not very proficient Chinese.
Lu Yang's face changed slightly: "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Crussy, I don't know what to do?" Although Lu Yang had never heard of this person, he did not doubt the truth of what the other party said, even if the other party was fake, he couldn't deceive Lu Yang about anything.
George Crucy said: "I also watched Mr. Lu's press conference yesterday, and I am very optimistic about your company's products, I wonder if there is an opportunity to cooperate?" ”
Lu Yang said with a smile: "What exactly does Mr. Crucy mean by cooperation?" It seems unlikely that we will be able to collaborate on Starry Sky 1 or the iPhone. The president of your company, Steve Jobs, would not allow anyone to touch his work, and I agree with him on this point. ”
Mr. Lu laughed. Crucy speaks very slowly, probably because his Chinese is not very good, "Although we can't cooperate on mobile phones, we have a lot of room for cooperation on batteries." ”
Lu Yang knew that the other party had taken a fancy to the A1 lithium battery.
"Regarding batteries, in principle, we welcome the cooperation of all companies, and our company is also about to bring the A2 battery to the market recently, and representatives of Apple are welcome to come and negotiate."
Crusi said: "Mr. Lu, the battery I am talking about is not your company's A2 lithium battery, but the A1 lithium battery used in the 'Star 1'. You have to know that Apple can't use a second-rate lithium battery! ”
When Lu Yang heard this, he smiled angrily, sure enough, it was Apple, and people were really arrogant.
"Really? Oh, I see, you'd rather use a third-rate lithium battery than a second-rate one. Lu Yang will not tolerate the other party's rudeness, "If Mr. Crucy thinks like this, then I can only express regret, and I hope that there will be a chance to cooperate next time." ”
"You wait!" Crushi was anxious, "Mr. Lu, you must know that Apple's iPhone3G sales have reached 2 million units, and it will easily exceed 10 million units this year." Your company will benefit greatly from using your lithium battery for your iPhone......"
Lu Yang chuckled: "Really? However, I am very sorry that the A1 battery produced by Tianxin Technology is only enough for our own use, and there is no excess for external sales. Okay, I'm still busy here, and if Mr. Crucy doesn't have anything else to do, let's talk about it next time. ”
“FUCK!” In an office building in Japan, George Crucy angrily threw his phone on the ground, "This bastard dares to hang up on me!" ”
After getting angry, Crussy's face became gloomy, and he had a headache when he thought about the outcome of this communication.
George Crucy was one of Apple's veterans and a staunch supporter of Steve Jobs. After the launch of the iPhone 3G version, he was responsible for developing the Asian market. Today, by chance, he saw the news of Tianxin Technology's "Star 1" press conference. For "Starry Sky 1", Crucy does not pay attention to it, he values the A1 lithium battery.
As Jobs' assistant, Crucy is well aware of the shortcomings of the iPhone, of which the battery is the most prominent. Therefore, after seeing the news of the A1 lithium battery, Crucy immediately found Lu Yang's phone number through guò relations. In fact, he is not sure about the true performance of the A1 battery, but that doesn't stop him from taking the chance.
It's a pity that Lu Yang's reaction surprised him, Crucy has been in business for so many years, and he has never seen Lu Yang negotiate like this, saying that he would hang up the phone when he hung up the phone, and he didn't give others room to go back at all, and directly choked back Cruxi's words.
Crussy thought about it and finally decided to give Jobs a call. But when he picked up his phone, he found that it had been broken.
"Damn, that's too bad!"
As an Apple executive, Cruthy naturally does not use other brands of mobile phones, and his mobile phone is the iPhone 3G that Apple only released not long ago. The phone didn't work, so Crucy had to contact Jobs by phone.
"Steve, I found out about something in Japan, a mobile phone company in Huaxia has just launched a smartphone similar to an iPhone...... "Crucy and Jobs have been in business together for decades, and they are very familiar with each other and speak very casually.
Jobs on the phone was very disapproving: "Huaxia? I know that there is no law to protect intellectual property rights at all, and piracy is rampant in the whole country, and they call this a copycat. ”
Crucy agrees with Jobs's statement, but he is still a little wary of "Starry Sky 1".
"Perhaps, that's not the point, the point is that this company has made a breakthrough in lithium battery technology and produced a new type of battery with a capacity twice that of ordinary lithium batteries. I guess that's exactly what an iPhone needs. ”
Jobston was also interested: "2 times? Are you sure, Crucey? ”
"That's what they said at the press conference, damn it, who knows if the Chinese will be faking again. But anyway, it's worth a look, you say? ”
Jobs thought for a moment: "You're right, this news is worth a trip." Well, Crussy, this is up to you, and if it's true, you do your best to buy the technology! ”
……
"Brother, you see that there are reports about you on the Internet, and you are famous all of a sudden." As soon as Lu Yang returned home, Lu Yuhan ran over excitedly, "There is also a 'Starry Sky 1' mobile phone, brother, when will you give me one?" ”
Lu Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can forget you, I have prepared it for you, just in the car." ”
"Ah, really?" When Lu Yuhan heard this, he immediately ran to the garage.
At this time, Zhang Chunfang wore an apron and walked out of the kitchen.
"Xiaoyang is back, I'm hungry, just wait a little longer."
Lu Yang said: "I'm not hungry now, by the way, Mom, where is my dad?" ”
"Your dad is still stewing his chicken, which we bought together at the market at noon. The chickens here are all grown up eating feed, and the price is expensive, which is not as good as the free-range chickens in our hometown. If I had known, I would have brought two with me. Zhang Chunfang complained.
Lu Yang knew his mother's frugal housekeeping style, so he casually echoed two sentences.
"Mom, look, my brother gave me my phone!" As he was talking, Lu Yuhan walked in from outside with a white box, and his face couldn't hide the joy.
"Didn't you just buy a mobile phone last year, why do you want a mobile phone again?" Zhang Chunfang couldn't help but say, a little unhappy, in her opinion, Lu Yuhan's behavior was a waste. For her, no matter how much money the family has, waste is unacceptable.
Lu Yuhan pursed his mouth: "My mobile phone has been used for a year, and it is all old......"
"It's old and it's not broken." Zhang Chunfang was half blaming, half reprimanding.
When Lu Yang saw it, he hurriedly said, "Mom, forget it, isn't it just a mobile phone." Moreover, I am a mobile phone producer myself, and if my sister doesn't use the latest mobile phone, others will think that the mobile phone I make will not work. ”
Zhang Chunfang listened to her son's words, and suddenly sighed: "Forget it, you have all grown up, and the family is not what it used to be, so change it." But remember that the virtue of frugality must not be forgotten at all times. ”
The brother and sister listened and nodded emphatically.
The lunch on this day was very rich, Lu Xinguang and Zhang Chunfang felt sorry for their son working hard alone, so they finally came to make something delicious for their son. The small half of the delicious food on the large table fell into Lu Yang's stomach, holding him up straight.
"Xiaoyang, you see that you are not young anymore, and you have a career, is it time to consider getting married?" After eating, Lu Yang was resting on the sofa, and Zhang Chunfang's words startled him.
"Married? Mom, I'm only 24, it's too early to talk about getting married, right? Lu Yang sat up and said with a stiff face.
Zhang Chunfang said: "It's still early? Look at Xiaojun, Xiaobo, they are all younger than you, and now the children are running all over the ground. ”
Xiaojun and Xiaobo are both Lu Yang's cousins.
"This, they are in their hometown, it's different, you see who is out there now, who got married at the age of 24? And you're afraid that your son won't find a daughter-in-law? Lu Yang argued.
Zhang Chunfang thinks about it, her son is now the boss, and it is still easy to find a wife.
"Well, mom won't say much about this matter, you make your own decisions."
"Get married, ......" Zhang Chunfang's words evoked a memory of Lu Yang.
