This trip to the capital can be said to be full of harvest.

After everything was satisfactorily resolved, Wang Yu stayed for two more days before returning to the magic capital.

Originally, he wanted to stay with his son for a few more days, but Qin Shiyu called and said that Katie Cotton, Apple's vice president of communications and an executive who also serves as a public relations image, was entrusted by Lao Qiao to come to the magic capital for a few days.

This woman has already contacted Qin Shiyu, saying that in addition to researching the market, she also hopes to meet with Wang Yu, Qin Shiyu and others on this trip to Huaxia.

On the eve of the upcoming release of Guoke II, Apple's executives met with Wang Yu and Qin Shiyu in the name of coming to China to research the market, and the meaning contained in it is self-evident.

Katie Cotton must have brought Old Joe's instructions this time, and may even act as his personal representative to talk to Wang Yu about something.

So Wang Yu came to the company as soon as he returned to the magic capital and called Qin Shiyu to the office.

"Boss, congratulations!"

As soon as Qin Shiyu saw Wang Yu, she first said congratulations, because she knew that the layout of the automobile industry was an important piece of the puzzle in Wang Yu's entire business empire, and now that it was finally put together, she was of course happy for her boss.

"Let's not talk about this for a while, Guo Yuan will come back tomorrow, and then help her hold a celebration party, and then celebrate on a small scale."

Wang Yu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about your side of things, what did Katie Cotton say when she contacted you, and what was the specific time she asked you?" ”

"Most of it is about some cooperation between the two sides, and she also mentioned the research itinerary, to go to the assembly line of the Apple 4 mobile phone to have a look."

Qin Shiyu recalled the content of yesterday's call in his mind, and replied in an organized language: "In addition, I also highlighted the friendly and personal relationship between you and Lao Qiao, and I am entrusted by him to take this opportunity to visit alone and talk about the prospects and future strategic development of the current smartphone market."

"There's something in the words!"

Wang Yu smashed his mouth after listening to Qin Shiyu's retelling: "It seems that they are still a little embarrassed about the release of the new machine of the second generation of Guoke." ”

"Did the boss have a private agreement with Apple Old Joe?"

After listening to Wang Yu's words, Qin Shiyu asked: "Promise that the two second-generation new intelligent machines will be released to the market in about the same time?" ”

"How is there such an agreement?"

Wang Yu sneered: "Do you think that if Apple comes up with a new model first, they will wait for us together?" ”

After thinking about it, Qin Shiyu himself shook his head and smiled.

"I had a chat with Lao Qiao in San Francisco, not only him, but also Samsung's Lee Jae-yong, and the three only reached a relatively broad common consciousness, mainly for Nokia and Motorola, the two mobile phone manufacturers, the consensus formed is only a tacit understanding, and does not involve specific content."

Wang Yu also shook his head: "It seems that Apple's side is not sure how deep our technical reserves are, and we should be very surprised that we can come up with a second-generation new machine so quickly, I guess their second-generation new machine should also be fast, and this time Katie Cotton is likely to come to find out." ”

"Does this need to be investigated?"

Qin Shiyu said strangely: "As soon as our new mobile phone is launched, isn't it clear at a glance?" ”

"I'm talking about technical reserves!"

Wang Yu disposed of the cigar in his hand, lit it, and took a puff before continuing: "Our own family knows our own affairs, and the second generation of Guoke released this time has basically exhausted its technical reserves, but Apple is different, when they release a new machine, they may still have the energy to make the standard of this mobile phone higher, this is what I call technical reserves, which is the potential for the long-term development of a high-tech enterprise. On this, our background is still too shallow! ”

After listening to the explanation, Qin Shiyu immediately understood.

She nodded and said: "Yes, not to mention the various problems encountered in the research and development of the first generation, when the second generation of Guoke set the target last year, I didn't have any bottom in my heart at that time, because several key items all depend on the breakthrough of new technologies, just like the boss said, our background is too shallow." ”

"So we're going to be prepared for this meeting with Katie Cotton, whether we're going to show weakness or we're going to bluff."

Wang Yu's fingers tapped on the office desktop: "The pros and cons should be considered comprehensively, and decisions should not be made hastily." ”

"There are pros and cons to both plans."

Qin Shiyu analyzed: "If you show weakness, you can reduce Apple's wariness of us, but this strategy is bound to expose our core R&D part to Katie Cotton, which has many disadvantages, at least the release of Apple's third-generation new model can be completely calmly arranged, because they can grasp our progress." ”

Wang Yu smoked a cigarette and didn't speak, looked at Qin Shiyu, and motioned for her to continue.

"Bluffing has both advantages and disadvantages, and the advantage is that the other party is not sure of the depth of our technical reserves, and it is a good thing for market competition."

Qin Shiyu thought about it and continued: "But there are also disadvantages, this will cause Apple to be wary of us, and even hostile, which is not a good thing for us to compete for market share in North America and Europe for a period of time in the future, and we are bluffing after all, sooner or later it will be punctured, and then the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

"That's all?"

"Well, that's all I'm thinking about at the moment."

"It's already good, you can think of so much in a short period of time, which shows that you have grown a lot in recent times."

Wang Yu praised Qin Shiyu first.

After receiving Wang Yu's praise, Qin Shiyu's face flushed slightly, but she was obviously very happy.

"First of all, set a tone, and the second generation of Guoke will choose a time to open a new machine launch meeting in the near future."

Wang Yu flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray with his cigar, and said slowly: "As for showing weakness or bluffing, I think we should not take the initiative to show tendencies, and leave it to Katie Cotton to guess for herself, for us, the meat in our mouths is real." ”

Qin Shiyu savored the meaning of Wang Yu's words and fell into deep thought.

"If you look at this matter in the context of the global environment, I will first give you a conclusion: at least in three or five years, they will not be able to make much action against us!"

Wang Yu nodded at Qin Shiyu: "For the rest, try to analyze the reasons yourself." ”

In the previous life, it was not until 2018 that the United States began to consciously sanction a certain behavior, because 5G technology cut their roots.

It's only 2010 now, and the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has just passed, and many global affairs need the cooperation of China, and it is in a small honeymoon period, so from the perspective of the overall environment, the possibility of being targeted is relatively small at least for a short time.

Of course, Wang Yu is working backwards from cause and effect, so he is so sure.

So he didn't embarrass Qin Shiyu too much, gave her a general direction, gave her a result, and asked her to think about the reasons, which was relatively simple.

For a while, Wang Yu's office fell into silence.
