Chapter 198: Eating Alone?
"There aren't many telecommunications resources, it's just an excuse that Waleed doesn't want to work with us on mobile phones."
In Chen Mo's office, Chen Mo, Zhao Min and Xiao Yu sat on the sofa.
Zhao Min looked confused.
Judging from Waleed's response just now, the other party said that the telecommunications industry has insufficient resources, which is completely perfunctory. At least when it comes to mobile phones, they don't want to work with marching ant companies.
Since that rejection in Europe, they have not had any major telcos willing to work with them in the international market, which is very strange.
"They want to cooperate with us, and the mobile phone industry is the best direction for cooperation. Waleed's refusal was beyond my expectations and confusing me. Zhao Min shook his head and said.
She was preparing to spin off her mobile phone business from the company and enter the international market, but the result was unexpected.
Xiao Yu sat on the side, unable to speak, and could only make tea for the two of them.
Taking the teacup handed over by Xiao Yu, Chen Mo said, "It's normal for them to refuse, because we are not the same people as them. ”
"Marching ant companies are breaking the rules, and in some areas, can't cooperate."
"They break the rules?" The two thinkers beside Waleed looked puzzled.
"Eating alone?" One of them said in disbelief.
"Yes." Waleed nodded slightly.
The last time he had a cruise party in Paris, among his old friends was Richard, the CEO of France Telecom. During the conversation, we talked about the marching ant company. Westerners are afraid of the emergence of another consortium like Samsung, competing with them for interests, and must find ways to tear apart the marching ants, otherwise their development will be restricted.
The two brains immediately understood what he was going to say.
Huaxia Company is feared in large part because those companies are state-owned enterprises. Some companies were bought, and the whole piece of meat was all Chinese.
This is the case with marching ant companies, once they are allowed to enter, the meat they eat will not be separated at all.
Moreover, the marching ants are in China, not in the world controlled by Western capital, and with the protection of the Chinese government, the tentacles of Westerners will be cut off as soon as they pass, so they can't do anything with the marching ants.
The financial world, the whole of Western countries, various consortia, families, groups, companies, are inextricably linked.
Each has a stake in the other company, which is an exchange of interests.
The shares of the marching ant company are only in the hands of Chen Mo alone, and he is unwilling to spit out part of the company's shares and interests, and this circle will not accept him, this is the rule.
Therefore, it is impossible for marching ants to stand at the top of China and really step out of this circle for the time being.
"But sooner or later, they will step out of this circle, this company, no one can stop them. We work with them first, and it's in our favor. After thinking about it, the bespectacled thinker on the left spoke.
"We're already working with them, aren't we?" Waleed said: "The sale of robots is also considered cooperation. Cooperation in telecommunications is not possible for the time being. ”
Huaxia Li Superman controls British Telecom, and Huawei has communication base stations all over Europe, these companies are the best partners of the marching ant company, but they do not cooperate with the marching ant company.
Without the shares of the marching ant company, there are no long-term interests, and no one will stir up this troubled water.
The market of the mobile phone industry is so big, Samsung, Apple, and Huawei occupy most of them. The marching ants jumped out, and the first to suffer was definitely Apple, and the Americans would not agree.
Waleed also owns a stake in Apple, and he won't make himself uncomfortable until he gets a stake in the marching ant company.
Once they help the marching ant mobile phone enter the international market, they have to face a lot of opponents, and there are no long-term interests, and he will not take risks. The marching ant company is not successful, and there is also the Huaxia market, if he does not succeed, he will offend many people.
In the field of robotics, the interests of other companies are not touched, so they can cooperate. Just like a seismograph, if the marching ant company is willing to cooperate with the outside world, all the companies in the world will want to cooperate with it.
Waleed summoned his entourage of thinkers and entered the conference room.
"We're going to work with marching ants to sell robots. Tomorrow there will be cooperation negotiations, and you will prepare a proposal for me, determine the transaction method and acceptable price. ”
The crowd began to enter the urgent negotiation phase, and what Waleed needed was efficiency, and it was efficiency that allowed them to visit more than a dozen countries in a matter of days.
The marching ants are not idle, and the team in charge of the robot business is also working overtime to prepare for tomorrow's negotiations.
Early the next morning, Waleed, with his think tank, reappeared at the Marching Ant Company. The executives of the marketing department of the marching ant company were all present.
"What about Mr. Chen Mo?" Waleed looked at Zhao Min and asked.
"The boss is doing research in the laboratory, and he has given me full responsibility for business matters." Zhao Min said.
"Then let's get started." Waleed didn't care, and followed Zhao Min into the conference room: "Mr. Zhao, I want the exclusive agency in the Middle East. ”
"Yes." Zhao Min said.
What they mean is to give Waleed agency in the Middle East. Waleed was the first to work with them, and that could be given priority. In other regions, it is not possible to give exclusive agency rights.
"Mr. Zhao is really refreshing." "Now let's talk about the price," Waleed said. ”
After last night, the entire think tank argued that the exclusive agency in the Middle East is the biggest bottom line given to them by the marching ant company.
"2.5% agency fee." Waleed said.
“1%。” Zhao Min immediately responded: "Mr. Walid, we are all insiders, and we should understand that this agency fee is impossible." ”
"Didn't you Huaxia say, bargaining?" Waleed didn't care: "Ms. Zhao Min, we are all cheerful people, 2%, which is a good start for the cooperation between the two sides." ”
"1.3%, this agency fee is released, many people will rush to ask for it, you are the exclusive agent in the Middle East, this is already a very refreshing start, and 2%, this business is very bad." Zhao Min said unhurriedly.
Waleed stopped and looked at Zhao Min quietly. After a while, he said, "Let's take a step back, 1.8 percent." ”
"No, up to 1.35%."
"Ms. Zhao Min, you can't compare us with ordinary agencies, right? This agency fee is too low. ”
Both sides are testing each other's bottom line, and they both have the intention of cooperating, and this list must be negotiated within today.
After an hour, the two confirmed all the terms, and the negotiations were completely completed. 1.51%, the first deposit of 300 million US dollars, this fee is finalized by both parties.
"Mr. Waleed, make sure one last time, if there is no problem, you can sign it."
Zhao Min handed Waleed the printed agreement and the addendum in duplicate, and both parties began to confirm the terms of the agreement.
"The first batch of 200 planes, give it to me as soon as possible, the sooner the better, preferably within a month." After Waleed confirmed the agreement, he signed it without thinking about it.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Min finally confirmed the agreement.
"Yes, because these 200 are for my own use." Waleed said with a smile.
Trench!
