Chapter 275: Pit Lao Jiang
The rest of his life also smiled and stopped asking. After the man left, the Americans came to visit. The person who came turned out to be an old friend for the rest of his life, James Stewart. James Stewart had a good reputation and prestige among Americans. Various medals have been taken innumerable.
Even, James Stewart became a brigadier general in the US Air Force. However, in the rest of his life, he never heard of James Stewart actually negotiating with someone. So, although Yu Sheng had long expected that Americans would inevitably have a lot of interest in mobile phones, they would send people to talk about it. But it was not at all expected that the Americans would send James Stewart out of the horse.
For the rest of his life, James Stewart was a pure and good old man. There will be no arguments at all.
The Americans sent James Stewart, apparently playing the emotional card. As long as you can't wipe your face for the rest of your life, then, no matter what business you do, the asking price for the rest of your life will not be too high. The Americans will take advantage of it.
However, the Americans clearly misunderstood, and although James Stewart came on orders, this moral model, who was never willing to deal too much with people, was clearly not a good negotiator. Before the rest of his life was entangled, whether it was time to give James Stewart a discount, and James Stewart himself was entangled first.
James Stewart said to Yu Sheng: "Yu, I think you already know my intentions. The U.S. military, in addition to wanting to order a large number of mobile phones, also wants to buy patents for the production of mobile phones and related production lines, and the price will satisfy you. ”
Yu Sheng said: "Jimmy, you know I'm not short of money. ”
James Stewart said to Yu Sheng in a very apologetic tone: "I talked to my boss about this. We know that you are now worth hundreds of billions and are not short of money. However, my boss still asked me to propose this acquisition intention to you. ”
The rest of his life saw that James Stewart was really embarrassed, so he said: "Jimmy, why don't you tell me directly, if I reject your acquisition intention, what will you do to me?" Secret arrests? Or shot on the spot? ”
This startled James Stewart: "Of course not! I. Don't think about it either. After all, the United States has the largest number of scientists in the world today. It's impossible to say which scientist will invent a product that transcends the era. It is impossible to be robbed, otherwise, it will be attacked by all the crowd. ”
"This kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs is naturally not something we will do. However, if you are not going to agree to the acquisition, then we have a requirement. I hope you can agree. ”
"Oh? What request? ”
"Please refuse to export mobile phones to the USSR!"
The rest of my life was abrupt. The Cold War began with Churchill's Iron Curtain speech. The first thing in the wrestling between the Americans and the Soviets was the question of how Germany was to function. From February to June 1948, the United States, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Rwanda held a meeting and decided to establish a West German government.
Subsequently, on June 18, 1948, the American, British, and French occupation authorities announced the implementation of a "currency reform" in the German-occupied areas, issuing the so-called "B" mark for circulation in the western occupied areas.
And after the Anglo-American law issued the "B" mark. The Soviet Union immediately imposed a complete blockade of land and water communications between the Western Occupation Zone and the Western Administrative District of Berlin, and announced the issuance of new currencies in the Eastern Occupation Zone and the Greater Berlin District. From then on, the United States and the Soviet Union began a confrontation in Germany.
Germany was thus divided into West Germany and East Germany. And this confrontation is known as the Berlin crisis. It was the first peak of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union after the war. It was September 20, 1948. The Federal Republic of Germany, or West Germany, was formally established. It is precisely because of this confrontation that NATO and the Warsaw Pact have a reason to be established.
Yu Sheng had no intention of fighting between the two giants of the United States and the Soviet Union, although he was far more powerful than ordinary people. However, compared to these two super-giants, they are still very weak. The rest of his life invented the mobile phone. It's just to make a big profit.
It's just that Hedy Lamarr developed the phone at a coincidental time. At a time when mobile phones were being distributed all over the world, it was the time when the United States and the Soviet Union were at their worst in Germany. As for confrontation and the Cold War, what we pay attention to is to try to gather the weight in our hands as much as possible.
As long as one aspect is better than the other party, it is considered a win. And the mobile phone for the rest of his life is enough for one side to increase the efficiency of military command by three percent in an instant. These three percent can already be regarded as an absolute advantage. Therefore, Americans attach great importance to the mobile phone invented for the rest of their lives.
After the trial, he immediately sent James Stewart to negotiate with Yu Sheng. However, this restriction also comes at a price, and the rest of his life asked James Stewart: "Refuse to export mobile phones to the Soviet Union, of course." However, it would cost me a big customer. I don't do it without compensation. ”
"Of course there will be compensation. Later, the military will place an order worth two billion dollars on you. ”
Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "This is not good. It's not a question of how much money you have, it's that the military needs to buy my phone, whether I refuse the Soviets' request to buy it or not. And, the number is definitely not small. The military is taking what belongs to me and replacing it with what doesn't belong to him. I'm going to suffer a lot. ”
James Stewart is also a smart person, so he naturally understands that what he said makes sense for the rest of his life. However, this is the final bottom line given to him by his boss, if he can't take it, the follow-up things, whether it is the rest of his life or him, will have a lot of trouble.
So, James Stewart asked, "So, Yu, what conditions do you want?" ”
Yu Sheng said: "It's very simple, I hope that the illusion drink in my hand can replace Coca-Cola and become a strategic material for logistics support of the US military!" ”
Coca-Cola is famous all over the world and has a wide market. In addition to borrowing the east wind of World War II, the biggest reason is because after World War II, Coca-Cola, a drink, traveled all over the world with American soldiers. Wherever American GIs went, it was Coca-Cola's best advertisement.
Yu Sheng's Illusion has a much more diverse flavor than Coca-Cola, and the taste is also better. Among the American GIs, there is also a very wide audience. In this case, it is still possible to replace Coca-Cola with clever force. And the mobile phone thing is a good focus.
James Stewart wrote down the rest of his life's request and went back to report to his boss. The rest of his life secretly laughed to himself, Americans now, there is no concept of a telecommunications company in later generations. Telecom providers of later generations. The most profitable thing is not the mobile phone sold in the business hall, but the uninterrupted phone bill every month.
Although, in this era, because there are no electronic transistors, the use of mobile phones, it is impossible to be as convenient as in later generations. The penetration rate is not so high, but even the penetration rate and the user population are only one percent of those of later generations. The total amount of phone bills each month will also make the rest of your life count the money and count the cramps in your hands.
So, one more customer. One less customer, in fact, it doesn't matter. Anyway, now there is no one to compete with for the rest of their lives. It is important to lay signal base stations as soon as possible to expand the coverage of mobile phone signals. Then, sit back and wait for the call bill to be charged.
After James Stewart left, he couldn't rest for the rest of his life. Because, there are still people who come to visit. Moreover, the person who came was Chinese. Although he is overseas for the rest of his life, he will always have a lot of affection for the Chinese. What's more, come to meet this Chinese for the rest of your life. It was on the orders of Lao Jiang. Before Lao Jiang retreated to the island, it was not appropriate to see him for the rest of his life.
The person who came claimed to be surnamed Song, and depending on his age, he was not a few years older than the rest of his life. Have a dignified appearance. The etiquette is thorough, and at a glance you know that she is a positive rich second generation. After inviting this person to sit down, Yu Sheng said a few words of greeting before he found out. This person is a member of the four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen. and Lao Jiang have a kinship that can only be obtained by eight poles.
After the greetings, Yu Sheng asked, "I don't know what Brother Song came to teach today?" ”
The man surnamed Song said politely: "I don't dare to be a teacher." Although the foolish brother is a few years older than the elder brother, his achievements are far inferior to the elder brother's reliance. An industry that has worked hard with one hand. Today, I was entrusted by my aunt, that is, Mrs. Jiang, to buy a batch of mobile phones from my brother's hands. ”
"At present, in China, the chairman of the committee is cracking down on bandits at a critical moment. If you have this batch of mobile phone support, it will inevitably be like a tiger in the war. The command efficiency will be much higher. Brother Yu is in the country, and naturally he has made great contributions! ”
Yu Sheng said with a smile: "When business comes to the door, I naturally won't stop doing it." I don't know how many mobile phones Brother Song wants? ”
The man surnamed Song said: "About 30,000 units." The more the merrier. As for the price, I hope Brother Yu can be a little cheaper. ”
Yu Sheng groaned for a moment and replied, "The price is not a big problem. After all, this is a major matter for the chairman. Yu just doesn't want money, so he has to do it. However, it is not a coincidence now, before Brother Song's arrival, I had already received orders of nearly three billion US dollars, mostly from Britain, France, the United States and Western European countries. ”
And these people are anxious to get it. It will be urged several times a day. If Brother Song wants to, I'm afraid he will have to wait a while. ”
The man surnamed Song asked, "How long do you have to wait?" ”
"The order of three billion dollars is not a small amount, and it will probably take about seven or eight months."
"Brother Yu, this is the chairman's list, can't you really rush it?" The man surnamed Song was of extremely high background and has always done things smoothly, rarely encountering disobedience. At this point, I was already a little impatient.
Yu Sheng smiled bitterly and took out a stack of documents, all of which were orders placed by the country where the order was placed. Handed it to the man surnamed Song and said, "Yu is not a lie, Brother Song, please see, this is the number of all orders in my factory." There is a corresponding time period and quantity on it. And there is a confirmation signature. Which of them can I offend as a little businessman? ”
"Moreover, James Stewart just came to place a two-billion-dollar order for the U.S. military, and he was not among them."
The man surnamed Song took the list suspiciously, looked through it roughly, and secretly gasped. In this stack of lists, almost all the powerful countries in the world are involved. There were many signatures from dignitaries from various countries that he wanted to see but could hardly see.
The man surnamed Song was secretly frightened, he carefully calculated, if he could earn three billion dollars in the rest of his life in eight months, then the hot sales of mobile phones, according to the Song family's estimates, would be at least two years. In these two years, there will be 10 billion dollars in capital income for the rest of his life.
And net income, at least in the billions of dollars. This is already the sum of the income of the four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen. And Lao Jiang's bandits didn't spend so much money. If you use this money to raise the army, with the influence of the rest of your life, I am afraid that you will be able to raise a team of soldiers and horses in the country immediately.
At that time, the two tigers will fight, and I am afraid that it will become a three-legged stand. And Lao Jiang has no way to speak of the rest of his life when he is overseas and has great influence. With such a calculation, the man's senses for the rest of his life immediately changed - the young man in front of him, who was not yet thirty years old, was already a generation of giants who could compete with Lao Jiang. Where to get his turn to be rude.
Therefore, the posture of the man surnamed Song was immediately lowered and lowered, almost to the dust, and then a flower bloomed.
Westerners are not wrong in evaluating the civilization of the Chinese as a moral civilization. The relationship between people is very complex and wonderful. Human relations are completely different from the spirit of contract in the West. After the man surnamed Song saw a stack of orders, the rest of his life intentionally or unintentionally hinted that only the man surnamed Song had seen this stack of orders.
The man surnamed Song immediately hit the snake with the stick, took out a check, and begged for the rest of his life to be used as a deposit for 30,000 mobile phones and supporting signal base stations. For the rest of his life, he pushed it again and again, and finally couldn't get rid of it, so he could only let the man surnamed Song add a list, mixed with many orders in the top position.
After everything was done, the man surnamed Song left happily. Yu Sheng took out the order and said to Qing Xiaoyi: "The time of this order will be delayed for a while, and it will be shipped to China in 1949." In addition, when the time comes, the convoy does not have to go too fast. In addition, the arrival port of the fleet will be put in Lushun or Dalian. ”
Qing Xiaoyi looked at Yu Sheng with a weird smile on his face, knowing that Yu Sheng estimated that he had some bad ideas. She didn't know where history was going, but she knew for the rest of her life.
In 1949, Chiang's troops retreated. After several large-scale battles, Lao Chiang was defeated. At this time, it is better to hand over the things to Lao Jiang, it is better to be a favor. Inform the person who asked for food and supplies for the anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines to take over the batch of mobile phones. Anyway, if the advance payment is in hand, the rest of your life will definitely not be able to lose. It's a big deal to earn less.
I have nothing to do to pit Lao Jiang, and I have no guilt for the rest of my life.
And by this time, James Stewart had already sent news to the rest of his life. The U.S. military has largely agreed to the rest of his life's request, and starting at the end of this year, it will end its cooperation with Coca-Cola and switch to Illusion Beverages. Orders will be placed right away.
Moreover, the two billion dollar order will still be given for the rest of his life.
The rest of my life was overjoyed. Of course, it's not just because of the illusion drink and the phone that there are huge orders. Chen Tian, who has been lurking in Japan for a long time, finally tied him up with a person, and the information this person knows is far more valuable than the iron ore in the Turner Valley in his hands!
