Chapter 309: Dilemma
Qin Yuanfeng ate a hamburger and sat down in the car, the driver handed over a bottle of drink, he was about to drink it, and when he saw that it was Coca-Cola, he threw it aside.
"Later, the Qin Dynasty rejected Coca-Cola's one-qiΔ thing." Qin Yuanfeng said lightly: "Go buy a bottle of mineral water." β
Niu Jun was also eating a hamburger next to him, his two sword-like thick eyebrows tangled like caterpillars that couldn't be opened. For a high-calorie thing like a burger, he refused the first bite. You can't let him eat it, so he can eat it. But after eating it, he couldn't put it down.
Because of the addition of too many special effects, his burger is double-layered, and large chunks of oily chicken can be seen inside. But no matter who has eaten this kind of thing for three days in a row and eats a burger at once, it will also feel tasteless.
"I've really eaten enough!" Niu Jun took the last bite of the hamburger into his mouth and rolled his eyes: "Isn't there something delicious in the United States!" β
"Yes, hot dogs."
"What's that?"
"Something that you like very quickly and also gets tired of quickly." Qin Yuanfeng sighed: "Forgive them, after all, it's only been a culture of more than two hundred years." The so-called nouveau riche is nothing more than that. β
After buying the mineral water, Qin Yuanfeng poured two-thirds of it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, there was no longer a trace of a smile on his face, and his eyes stared at the building opposite.
On it, the two big English characters of Apple are impressively visible.
It's weird...... It is very strange that Apple's brand sales manager originally agreed to meet with him, but when the matter came, he temporarily shirked it.
"Oh...... I'm sorry, Qin, I do have an idea to hear your plan. But, let me be honest, cooperation is also important. Working with your company, or even discussing your plan in depth, would have displeased another of our important clients, and I regret to decline. β
Have you seen yourself with a pair of eyes in the dark?
But who is it? Qin Yuanfeng thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't come to a conclusion, some things, if they didn't come to an end, they couldn't awaken his memory at all.
"This is the third one." Niu Jun saw his eyes: "I also went to the company called Dell yesterday." The other party hung us for a long time and didn't see us at all. I said, "You should beat him up." β
"A beating won't solve anything." Qin Yuanfeng said lightly: "Come out and run the channel, these setbacks are within the scope of bearing, there is nothing to complain about." β
He spread out his notebook, which still had the names of dozens of businesses. Even in the end, some extremely inconspicuous companies were listed by him.
"Keep in touch with them every day until ...... Until I left the United States. Qin Yuanfeng solemnly decided and gritted his teeth: "In the afternoon, contact Texas Instruments, deliver our company's information one by one, and apply for cooperation!" No, North America, let's go to South America! South America doesn't work, let's go to Europe! β
"I don't believe it, we are a well-known company in the industry, and it is so difficult to find a way to cooperate!"
At the same time, in an office, Kotaro Kobayashi looked coldly at the report in front of him.
"Apple really refused...... he muttered to himself, and the male assistant next to him immediately smiled and said: "Of course, Your Excellency Kobayashi's phone call, I'm afraid there are not many people in the electronics industry who dare to refuse." β
Kobayashi Kotaro smiled slightly: "Say hello to the electronics companies in Europe and the United States, and no one is allowed to accept the planning of the Qin Dynasty." Who's going to pick it up...... I think I still have the right to withdraw some of the sponsorship funds. β
"When the time comes, he still has to crawl back." He propped his head and thought for a while: "Have you found out, how did the news of our cooperation with Apple get out?" β
"FIND OUT CLEARLY, IT WAS APPLE THAT SPREAD THE WORD, AND THEY WANT TO BUILD MOMENTUM FOR THE NEW POWERBOOK NOTEBOOK THAT IS ABOUT TO BE DEVELOPED, AFTER ALL, THEY HAVE BEEN SUPPRESSED BY IBM IN RECENT YEARS."
Kobayashi Kotaro nodded, no longer thinking about this problem, deliberately hyping up, and just a common method.
The plane landed in Palo Alto, California, and Qin Yuanfeng dragged a little tired, but his fighting spirit was still high, and he walked towards the next goal.
"Tired, aren't you?" Peter Pan was also sitting in the car, and as a navigator, he was always with him.
"It's just physical exhaustion. You're in luck. He chewed bubble gum and blew a bubble: "You haven't experienced the waiting time to hand it in like frying oil." And then finally sue sΓΉ you don't know guΓ². β
In this way, it doesn't take much, it only takes three or four times, and anyone's faith is enough to be dispelled. And confidence, driven by momentum, you lack confidence, what you face is a lack of momentum, and if you don't let your confidence pass the momentum to others, the next time, the next negotiation, it will still fail. This is the unsolvable circle of running channels. β
"Today's companies are obviously concise and to the point, just don't. We've run five electronics businesses and don't have time to explain to you at all. On the one hand, it was because of the incident in your country, and on the other hand, someone secretly said hello. He blinked his eyes and patted the drowsy Qin Yuanfeng's shoulder with his hand: "Hey, man, have you thought of who it is?" β
"Sony." Qin Yuanfeng didn't raise his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "I only remembered it yesterday, Sony decided to cooperate with Apple to develop a new type of POWERBOOK notebook in 89, as a last fight with IBM, after all, their new notebook sales this year are not very good." We look for Apple, and he knows for sure. And the person in charge of Coca-Cola hates us so much that he will spare no effort to inform Sony of the news. β
"You're not in a hurry?"
"Urgent?" Qin Yuanfeng closed his eyes and asked, "From seven months to three months, who can not be in a hurry?" In three months, that incident happened in China, which brought the relationship between the countries to a freezing point. Now there is still Sony chasing and intercepting ......"
He opened his somewhat reddened eyes and looked ahead tiredly but firmly: "Peter Pan, you know what? I've been sleeping almost three hours a day for the past few days. β
"Every night, I couldn't sleep as I looked at the empty map and tossed and turned."
"Do you know how I'm doing?" He smiled reluctantly: "You can ask the morning cleaners how many cigarette butts they can take away, how many instant coffee pouches." β
Peter Pan didn't speak, but sighed with emotion: "Qin, this is the only way for the company's development. You have to go, and you can't give up...... If you can't go through this hurdle, without your own channel provider, you will always be pinched to death by the first party. β
Qin Yuanfeng nodded, Peter Pan didn't see it, the fists he put in his clothes were already tightly clenched together.
Only five days have passed, and five days have passed.
He is not unclear about the truth of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions. When I first came to the United States, I had the most momentum, but I was met with ruthless rejection.
Coca-Cola refused, Dell refused, Apple refused...... After the refusal of the three major electronic investors, he began to find first-line manufacturers in the United States, they are the upper layer of the channel business, if this does not work, the next step, he decided to personally run all over the world-famous shopping mall headquarters!
Walmart, Lotus, Carrefour, Metro...... In foreign countries, the last distribution location of game consoles and game cards is here!
If the most upstream e-commerce can't make sense, he must make every effort to seize the downstream and obtain the right to sell in the supermarket!
Moreover...... I also want to win the trust of the president of the district! Convince them to offer larger stores and booths so that consoles and cartridges don't show signs of being out of stock!
In the past five days, the words he heard the most were "SORRY" and "I'm sorry." "It's a pity."
Not even a company that said, "Please stay and discuss"!
The situation is bad enough, how bad can it be if there is one more Sony?
So...... When he had an epiphany yesterday that a senior executive of Sony had given instructions, he resolutely changed the company he originally planned to go to today, and went to HP immediately.
If any company could buy Sony's face, but HP and Ericsson certainly wouldn't!
It...... When Ericsson was sniped, it was a company that suffered from sniping at the same time, Ericsson's phone business and HP's server business can be said to form a new business module, so Sony did not hesitate to do it. It's just that Ericsson suffered too much disaster, and Kotaro Kobayashi, president of North America, and Katsumi Kumoto, who is also one of the ten-person tables, shot at the same time, carrying the will of Norio Oga. Ericsson couldn't bear it anymore so he invited Jack. HP also benefited from this and escaped ascension.
At that time, these two companies were far from being comparable to "Sony of technology", and it can be said that Sony of that era had almost no one in the world who was its opponent!
The veritable king of the electronics industry!
Ericsson is too far away, HP, is the next goal he decides to make!
This is also his excellent goal to boost his morale in successive rejections!
As long as HP is willing to talk and not refuse in one breath, then his hopes are much greater!
Most importantly, faith must not be discouraged. No matter how determined he is, he needs some good news to stimulate his nerves, which are gradually paralyzing.
The car quickly stopped next to an elegant cafΓ©, and another reason why he decided to come was that after the head of Hewlett-Packard explained the situation and vaguely revealed his feud with Sony, the other party immediately agreed to meet the next day.
"Mr. Qin." As soon as he entered the box, a man stood up with a smile: "I'm Sorov, the supervisor of the marketing and sales department of Hewlett-Packard, and I'm very happy to meet you." β
After the two parties shook hands, Qin Yuanfeng hid a trace of fatigue in his heart, and said with a smile: "It is my honor to meet Mr. Sorov. β
After talking and laughing for a while, Sorov cut to the chase without slackening: "Qin, I don't think we met today just to laugh and talk. You said that there is a plan, and there is hope to achieve a win-win situation for HP and the Qin Dynasty. We are very interested, these days, we investigated the qualifications of the Qin Dynasty, although your company does not have much capital, but the growth rate is amazing, the electronic entertainment industry is an emerging industry, and the electronics industry is closely related, if you can use this to break into the electronic entertainment industry, HP is also very interested. β
"You want to be a host?" Qin Yuanfeng asked in surprise.
"No, not really. But the host cannot be separated from the electronics industry. Any host is made up of parts. If it can become a special manufacturer of the main engine, it will have a great boost to the company's performance. β
Qin Yuanfeng nodded and took out his own plan: "Although there are some differences between my plan and your company's idea, once it is successful, it can directly increase HP's popularity." βR1058
