Chapter 491: The First Meeting of Old Qiao
Wang Yu went to HK first and explained the acquisition of the 4.5 generation production line of LCD panels to Dong Xuan.
After a night's rest, the next morning flew non-stop to NY on your own Gulfstream G550.
This time it was the turn of Song Jia and Wei Yueqiong to serve the crew, and they were shocked when they saw Qin Shiyu for the first time.
Only then did they know that there was still a difference between the beauties who were both above 90 points, and the gap in the middle was not half a star.
It took about 16 hours to fly directly from HK to NY, and because of the time difference, Wang Yu and his flight to NY were actually 12 hours late.
Because of the jet lag on the plane, when the plane landed in NY, Wang Yu and his family were still in good spirits.
Xiao Haiyang arrived a day earlier than them, and he came to pick him up, along with a senior vice president named Roel Dennis at IDG's headquarters.
At first, Xiao Haiyang thought that this was the headquarters' attention to Wang Yu, after all, IDG's headquarters was in Boston, and the vice president came to New York to meet Wang Yu, and his enthusiasm could be seen.
But on the way to the hotel, the vice president of Dennis opened his mouth and explained the real purpose of his coming to pick up the airport.
"Mr. Wang, a guest has entrusted us to IDG to express his desire to meet with you."
Deniston, who had been paying attention to Wang Yu's expression, paused, and continued without waiting for Wang Yu to say anything: "Of course, it is your freedom to see or not to see, and we are just entrusted by others, but to be honest, this guest has a deep influence in HEJ, and this time after knowing the news of your coming to NY, he specially flew over from California"
The usual style, first of all, is a polite invitation, and if you don't get the answer you want, it is a polite implicit threat.
The meaning of the words of Mr. Dennis, the vice president of IDG, is very clear, it is your freedom not to see or not, we really will not and have no right to interfere, but you must have something to ask for this trip to the United States, if you refuse the guest's request, and it is equivalent to not giving us the face of the messenger IDG, it will not be so easy to do anything later.
Wang Yu suddenly laughed: "If I'm not mistaken, the guest who wants to see me is Old Man Qiao, right?" ”
Dennis is not surprised, after all, Wang Yu's Guoke Electronics has sprung up in the mobile phone industry and produced a smart phone that is also good in his opinion.
In addition, he also hinted that the guest flew from California to NY just now, Wang Yu would be strange if he couldn't guess it.
"Mr. Wang, you guessed it, it's this big guy who wants to talk to you."
Dennis is eloquent and logical thinking, he continued: "And I have a hunch that the two of you will definitely have many similar views on the development of the mobile phone industry, and there will be a lot to talk about when you meet!" ”
Originally, Wang Yu wanted to take advantage of this trip to learn about Apple's information, and in the future, he would even entrust IDG to help contact Lao Qiao, but now he didn't expect him to take the initiative to meet and chat with him.
I can't ask for it, and I also save myself from owing IDG favors, and between the back and forth, Wang Yu made a lot of money.
Holding his expression, Wang Yu said slowly: "Then please ask Mr. Dennis to help arrange it, I will be in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel tonight, and I just happened to talk to him about something!" ”
Dennis smiled on his face, stretched out his right hand and said: "It just so happens that President Reinado is in NY these two days, and tomorrow night he will have a banquet for Mr. Wang in a villa on Long Island, and many executives from investment institutions in NY will be invited to attend, I believe you will have a pleasant night!" ”
I don't know if I'm happy tomorrow night, but tonight's meeting with Lao Qiao will definitely be very brain-burning.
In the presidential suite, Song Qiuyun and Dong Xiaoli were busy arranging the salutes and clothes, Qin Shiyu was in the study to set up a position, she is now holding the phone to contact the team, this time Guoke Electronics has a large number of marketing teams to come to the United States in advance, and it has been scattered to several major cities on the east and west coasts of the United States.
Wang Yu sat outside in the living room, leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed, his mind racing about tonight's interview.
For what purpose did Old Joe come to see him?
What does Lao Qiao think of Guoke Generation I's entry into the United States mobile phone market?
When will Apple's new mobile phone be launched?
For Nokia, which has been using the Symbian system and wants to create an independent communication kingdom, can Old Joe still be able to withstand his ambitions?
Is there anything I can take out to bargain with Old Joe?
One question after another is laid out on its own, and then a logical answer is quickly found.
If you can't confirm it for the time being, put it on hold, and wait until the evening meeting to get reference information and relocate the answer by talking to each other!
What can be confirmed now is that he holds two kings in his hands: the shape patent of the first generation of Guoke mobile phone in China, and 80% of the smartphone production line capacity of the world's largest industrial capacity.
For someone like Old Joe, having dinner together is unnecessary.
The old man himself was a vegetarian, plus had a very strange belief
Yes, the helmsman of a high-tech company believes in mysticism very much, and even after discovering that he has cancer, this guy actually went to Ni Qiang to find a way to treat cancer with mysterious factors in the environment of top medical conditions like the United States.
This is Old Joe, who has a paranoid personality and is known as the king of Apple.
The Waldorf Astoria Club Lounge offers a cigar bar, where at 8 p.m., Wang Yu meets the Qiao gang leader who was mythologized by fruit fans in his previous life.
Just like what I saw in the online media in my previous life, Qiao Gang Leader wore a pair of glasses, and he lost weight and lost weight.
His Majesty the King of Apples was diagnosed with cancer in 03, and it was announced in 04 that because it was pancreatic cancer, Old Joe became a vegetarian.
Old Joe was a bohemian man in his youth, smoking and drinking, but in his later years he became a vegetarian like a Puritans and trusted in occult metaphysics.
Now is not the time to sigh, Wang Yu gathered his thoughts and took two steps, and at the same time stretched out his right hand.
"Hello, Gang Leader Joe!"
"Hello, Mr. Wang!"
The two shook hands in accordance with Eastern etiquette.
"It's weird!"
Qiao Gang Leader, who had just sat down, muttered, "Why do I have a feeling that you are familiar with me!" ”
"Maybe it's because of admiration, I pay more attention to your information!"
Aside from anything else, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a symbol of the development of the intelligent era when it comes to the creation of Apple smartphones, and his Pixar animation has also played a role in laying the foundation for the development of later industrial films!
So Wang Yu still admires Lao Qiao.
"I founded an animation film and television company in the magic capital, dedicated to the development of animation works with traditional oriental elements!"
Wang Yu opened the topic with a smile: "Actually, even if you don't come today, I will come to the door to ask for a meeting."
"Hahaha"
For Wang Yu's frankness, old Qiao Dun had a good impression.
"Because of my body, I only drink water, whatever you want to drink!"
Old Joe ordered a row of drinks from the bar that had been prepared there for a long time, from whiskey to champagne and red wine.
"There's also a box of cigars over there, I've quit smoking, you can enjoy it yourself if you're interested!"
"Thanks, I'll drink some champagne!"
Wang Yu stood up and poured the wine, helping himself with a cigar.
"Mr. Wang, I have a very curious question, it has been tormenting me for a long time, can you take this opportunity to give me an answer?"
As he spoke, Old Joe took out a mobile phone from the back of his jeans and placed it on the table in front of him.
"Your Guoke I generation mobile phone, from the industrial design shape to the whole machine concept, is almost a larger iphone4."
When he said these words, Lao Qiao stared at Wang Yu's eyes: "We are separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, and we are sure that we have not had anything to do with you before, why is there such a coincidence?" ”
The momentum of absolute authority formed within the company for a long time makes the thin old Joe like a sick tiger at the moment, but the sick tiger is still a tiger after all, what is it like to be stared at by a tiger at close range?
If it weren't for the scene that would have been simulating the meeting and meeting with Lao Qiao in the room before, Wang Yu would have been flustered just by asking this question.
Now he shrugged his shoulders, lit his cigar, and sat down on the high chair at the bar.
"I believe you should have checked the time when I registered the shape patent of the first generation of mobile phones in Huaxia!"
Wang Yu smiled: "If it wasn't before your iphone4, I believe I would have received a summons from the court!" ”
This is the most painful and incomprehensible part of Old Joe.
Hearing Wang Yu's answer, Lao Qiao's thoughts were tumbling in his heart: Is there really a genius in this world who is not inferior to me? And this genius is still so young, standing in front of me right now!
"In the Spring and Autumn Period of our Chinese history and the Warring States Period, there was a great sage, his name was Confucius, it was he who first put forward the concept of education without class, and in the same era, ancient Greece also produced a philosophical pioneer who put forward the concept of education without class, his name is Socrates!"
Wang Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, began to show the side of the god: "Maybe this is the accident and inevitability of human thought and aesthetics!" ”
Could it be more perfectly explained?
Old Joe, who believes in the occult, was fooled for a while.
Temporarily suppressing the biggest dispute, the two can finally talk about the next topic in a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
"This time I came to the United States, I just wanted to open the sales channel of the first generation of Guoke, but I know that I can't get around you!"
Wang Yu said directly and frankly to Lao Qiao: "Can we find a point of cooperation between us?" ”
"No matter what the reason, the opponent is the opponent!"
When it comes to business, Lao Qiao is unrelenting: "Not to mention that your mobile phone is not weak in all aspects, just a smart phone second only to our iphone4!" ”
"There is a gap in performance and price between our two mobile phones, which means that the target customer group is different!"
Wang Yu did not panic at all, and continued to talk eloquently: "And at present, Apple's main target should be Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and other giants, and the enemy of the enemy can be a friend." ”
After staring at Wang Yu for a while, Lao Qiao suddenly burst out laughing.
"Nokia and Motorola have reached a dead end, they represent old world technology and I don't worry about them in the slightest. As for Samsung, who is really controlling it, you must also know. ”
He looked at Wang Yu and said, "Give me a reason?" ”
