Carlton Hotel Lobby.

A bright crystal chandelier hangs above, emitting a warm orange light, and clearly textured marble slabs cover the entire space, giving it a luxurious and sophisticated look.

The seating area near the glass window is furnished with several mahogany chairs and high-end sofas for guests to rest and talk.

"Claude, how does rice's position in the mobile phone industry compare to that of Transcaus?"

Darnell sat on the sofa, looked at Lin Jiazhen, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

In the gray island where per capita income is generally low, communication network support is low, and hardware penetration is worrying, Chuanyin has successfully opened sales channels with 66 yuan feature phones and 450 yuan smartphones, with a market share of 38%.

Speaking of the phone, Darnell unconsciously thought of the cause.

"Rice Technology's smartphone shipments can rank third in the global market, almost on par with Apple Confectionery, what do you think?"

Lin Jiazhen asked rhetorically.

"Oh, it looks like it's strong."

Darnell smiled and shrugged his shoulders, anyway, today he is just a foil, and Lin Jiazhen is the protagonist.

At this moment, Chen Heyu took Lei Jun, followed by Lao Mo and Cheng Xi, and eight bodyguards, and a group of people walked in.

"Mr. Lin, meet again, let me introduce you, this is the founder of Rice Technology - Lei Jun, Mr. Lei!"

Chen Heyu held Lin Jiazhen's hand, and then introduced with a smile.

"Mr. Lei, I am Claude, general manager of the energy department of Rupert Group, whose Chinese name is Lin Jiazhen, and I have admired my name for a long time, and it is also a contemptible honor to cooperate with Rice Technology."

Lin Jiazhen said politely.

Rebus in 2016, worth more than 10 billion US dollars, his life experience is comparable to Kaihang, even Lin Jiazhen, a native of South Gray Chinese, has heard of his legendary story.

The pride of the sky, the top student in the college entrance examination, served as the CEO of Jinshan at the age of 28, achieved financial freedom at the age of 37, founded Rice Mobile at the age of 40, and became the head of the global TOP-3 mobile phone brand at the age of 47.

belongs to a model of a real self-made man, unlike him, between hard work and struggle, he categorically chooses to eat soft rice and join a wealthy family!

Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Heyu with his spare eyes, who is also a top student in the college entrance examination, and it only took five years to develop artificial intelligence and chip semiconductor industries to a world-class level, which seems even more shocking.

What's more, in his eyes, Lei Jun is like an open existence, but he is only one of Chen Heyu's many younger brothers.

"Mr. Lin, fortunately, I will be lucky, let's find a quiet place first, you see ......"

Lei Jun pointed to the passer-by who was holding his mobile phone to take pictures, his face was a little embarrassed, his popularity in China is not low, and if he doesn't leave, he will be surrounded, and some fans have begun to be eager to try.

"Mr. Lei, this is Mr. Darnell, the head of the energy department of Rupert Group, let's go upstairs and talk in detail."

After Lin Jiazhen finished speaking, he beckoned gently, and a circle of tall and sturdy bodyguards hurriedly blocked in front of everyone.

"Hello, Mr. Lei!"

Darnell took the initiative to beckon.

"Mr. Darnell, it's a good thing!"

Lei Jun replied calmly.

At the end of the greetings, the group was escorted by bodyguards to the executive conference hall on the top floor, and then sat down one after another.

"Mr. Lin, the total global shipments of Rice Technology this year are 140.4 million units, which is only one step away from Apple's market share, so I plan to fully develop the North Berry Island and Kangaroo Island markets in 2017.

Of course, Ashland has a large population and great consumption potential, and it is also one of the important areas that need to be developed urgently. ”

Lei Jun went straight to the point, and although he didn't point it out between his words, he faintly looked down on the Gray Island Market.

Mr. Lei, Rupert Group has continuously improved its distribution network through the sale of flour, salt, sugar and gasoline throughout the Gray Island continent, with a total of 41 branches, 400 offices and more than 50,000 retail terminals.

To put it simply, as long as we cooperate, I am confident that within one year, I can help Rice Mobile to win 20% of the market share in Gray Island. ”

Lin Jiazhen said confidently.

Lei Jun and Chen Heyu looked at each other and smiled, and then asked, "What kind of cooperation model does Mr. Lin want to adopt?" ”

"Naturally, it is a joint venture to build a factory, making full use of the cheap local labor in Ashland, so as to improve profit margins, and everyone has money to make."

Lin Jiazhen said with a smile.

What does dry distribution mean? Subject to others everywhere! As a representative of Rupert's group, his appetite is even greater than Lei Jun imagined.

"Joint venture? Rice can be wholly owned, so why cooperate with Rupert? Frankly speaking, I came here this time mainly to negotiate the distribution authority, is Mr. Lin not interested in this? ”

Lei Jun pretended to be dissatisfied and shook his head slightly.

Lin Jiazhen was silent, yes, if he couldn't come up with the conditions to impress Lei Jun, even if Rupert was the top consortium in the Gray Island Continent, he was only worthy of being a dealer.

"Of course I'm interested, but I'm more interested in building an assembly plant in a joint venture!

If Mr. Lei agrees to cooperate, Rupert can come forward to solve a series of problems such as industrial land, electricity subsidies, tax exemptions, etc., and can also introduce you to the big boss of the South Gray Communications Division. ”

Lin Jiazhen thought about it and threw out some chips.

The big guy who caught up with the Communications Division can sell at least 5 million more mobile phones every year, and even Lei Jun was a little moved in an instant.

"Mobile phones can't work, if it's small household appliances, major appliances and smart wearable devices, maybe you can consider it."

Lei Jun gritted his teeth, remembered what Chen Heyu had explained, and immediately replied.

"Small appliances?"

Lin Jiazhen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that under Rice, there are also laptops, smart home appliances, smart homes and Ai wearable devices and other products.

Although compared with mobile phones, the market prospect is almost meaningless, but the advantage is that there are many categories, once the market is opened, you can still make a lot of money.

"What does Mr. Lei mean is that he wants to build a joint venture home appliance factory in the Ash Island area?"

He said tentatively.

"What does Mr. Lin think?"

Lei Jun asked in a deep voice.

In 2016, the annual mobile phone shipments were about 200 million units, but more than 70% of them were feature phones under 30 US dollars, and the total sales of smart phones were only 50 million units, most of which were still hundreds of copycats.

For him, it is only suitable for dumping Zimi low-end mobile phones.

"What products does Mr. Lei want to start with?"

Lin Jiazhen did not answer this question and continued to ask.

"Air conditioner, color TV, washing machine, refrigerator, smart door lock...... As long as it sells well in Grayzhou, you can do it all. ”

Lei Jun said with a smile.

It is also an achievement to be able to spread rice groceries to the Ash Island area, maybe the scale of revenue will not be very large, but the model of going to the volume can also create tens of billions of sales, and it is a pity to give up directly.

In the next few years, a large number of domestic entrepreneurs will go to Ash Island to open factories and make a fortune, which is completely a seller's market, producing as much as they want, selling as much as they want, except for a little bit higher risk, everything is acceptable.

"Mr. Lei, if I accept the proposal to build a joint venture to build a home appliance factory, can I pull a few pieces of rice mobile phone production line and put them in Nanash?"

Lin Jiazhen asked with a smile.

He is not interested in the home appliance category, and just wants to pull Lei Jun to build a factory in Gray Island, accumulate rich technology and experience, and become his own brand in the future, rather than being a pony.

When the time comes, kick the rice out, and the money will naturally be earned by him!

"Mr. Lei, I think you can try."

Chen Heyu suddenly interjected and reminded him.

"Since the boss is talking, then I will give a chance, Mr. Lin, we can first build a production line of Zimi mobile phones, and then talk about the next step of cooperation after running through the process."

Lei Jun received the signal, no longer biting it, smiled lightly, and said boldly.

"Thank you Mr. Chen, thank you Mr. Lei, happy cooperation, I wish you all a good turnover."

Lin Jiazhen's excited face was happy, and he held Lei Jun's hand tightly, with a grateful expression.

Subsequently.

After the initial communication between the two parties is over, the tone of cooperation is determined, and in-depth negotiations on the details will be held in the following week, until all ideas remain synergistic, and a formal cooperation agreement will be signed.

"Mr. Chen, I was busy all day yesterday and couldn't have a drink together, don't shirk today!

It was the first time I met Mr. Lei, and he gave me a huge order, and I had to talk about it to express my gratitude. ”

Lin Jiazhen said very enthusiastically.

"Then bother!"

Chen Heyu nodded, this time he didn't refuse, he was always a partner, and he always refuted the other side, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Under Lin Jiazhen's arrangement, the group walked into a large and spacious private room, which was decorated with gold and splendor, covering more than 100 square meters, and there was a small stage not far from the wine table.

"You two, please be seated!"

Lin Jiazhen gave up the main seat to Chen Heyu, and he accompanied him on the right hand, Lei Jun, Darnell and others, and sat down in turn.

"Serve!"

He commanded in a loud voice.

When the words landed, four white beauties with graceful postures and delicate appearances, wearing long dresses, walked barefoot to the stage and began to dance.

“？？？”

Chen Heyu smiled, Lin Jiazhen, the son-in-law of Gray Zhou, looks honest and has a good time.

I don't know where to find a foreign girl, and even Chinese folk dances can dance, which shows that a lot of thought has been spent.

"How's this Western food?"

Lin Jiazhen was quite complacent.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lei and I are not this kind of people, don't be like this next time."

Chen Heyu was straight and said with a serious face.

Rebus next to him was sitting in a precarious position, although the figures of these great Yanmars were all superb, but he had been floating in the business sea for decades, and he had never seen anything in the world, just ordinary.

"Definitely, definitely!"

Lin Jiazhen didn't care, man, he said no, that's it!

A series of rare delicacies fill the table, and the white smoke is mixed with a rich aroma.

At the end of the song, four dancing beauties stood aside, waiting for a few people to dine.

"Mr. Chen, the status of the gray white people in the south is not as good as the gray people, and you can experience the ultimate happiness of men there."

Lin Jiazhen put his hand on the beauty's buttocks, patted it presumptuously, and said happily.

"Mr. Lin's wife, isn't she from the Rupert family?"

Chen Heyu asked casually, the implication is that you are a door-to-door son-in-law, are you so messing around, aren't you afraid of being thrown into the sea?

"Mr. Chen doesn't know, Nanshen is a polygamous country, in fact, I have a total of four wives."

Lin Jiazhen straightened his waist and showed off with a smile.

He is a son-in-law, but his ability is just as outstanding, and in the near future, he will be promoted to vice president of energy.

"No wonder it's peaceful."

Chen Heyu said secretly in his heart, raised his wine glass, touched it lightly with everyone, took a sip, picked out the spicy dishes, and ate them unhurriedly.

Between the staggered discussions, more than two hours passed, and the banquet dispersed.

He politely declined Lin Jiazhen's "gift", and without hesitation, he turned around and left with Rebus.

"Claude, your beauty plan seems to have failed!"

Darnell teased.

"Does he like gray? Am I getting it in the wrong direction? ”

Lin Jiazhen has a strange face, he lives with himself, and his brain is a little incomprehensible, how can a man not love Yanmar?

Chen Heyu walked out of the hotel with Lei Jun, and the two returned to the tea house in the morning and continued to chat about the strategic plan of the ash island market.

"Lao Lei, to operate the Gray Island market, we can't just rely on the sales network of Rupert Group, we also have to establish our own offices and sales channels.

Otherwise, once the relationship breaks down in the future, the other party only needs to change the mobile phone brand, and we will lose all the market. ”

Chen Heyu only drank a glass of liquor at noon, his mind was still clear, he picked up the teacup and drank it, savoring it.

"I understand that Huayao and Chuanyin can do it, and the employees of Rice will not be afraid, as long as they can make money, even if it is Ashwagand, it can make people trend."

Lei Jun saw that the boss's tea was less than half, so he hurriedly added it diligently.

He is now a little brother to Chen Heyu, and he has long been willing, and the start of the rice car project has made him understand in his heart that letting him do it by himself is not so smooth.

To be able to handle the supply chain, subsidies, preferential policies and industrial land in one go, he alone will have a year at the earliest, but Chen Heyu only took a month and made a few phone calls to get all the joints right.

"In terms of the safety of our employees, we must be assured.

Don't forget, I still have a security company in my hand, and when the time comes, I will recruit a group of elites who have come down from the army and pull them to the Gray Island Continent for training for half a year, as long as I am willing to spend money to buy equipment, who will dare to provoke them? ”

Chen Heyu said domineeringly.

"This ...... Is it appropriate to do this? ”

Lei Jun heard the meaning of the boss's words, his eyes widened, and he was a little incredulous.

"It's the right place to go! I'm also here for the safety of my compatriots. ”

Chen Heyu waved his hand and said disappreciably.

Lei Jun smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to persuade him, he felt that the boss's move was somewhat risky, but after thinking about it, after all, it was in Ashland, and he had to consider the actual situation.

"It's all legal operations, so don't worry about it. Let's talk about the rice car, where has it been? ”

Chen Heyu gave him a blank look and asked with a smile.

"The production qualification has just been obtained, and the battery plant is in the process of construction, and it is expected that the first rice car will not be produced until next spring."

Lei Jun replied immediately.

"Why is it so slow? Who is stuck in the production qualification? ”

Chen Heyu frowned and said with a slight displeasure.

Generally speaking, the first step for a new car manufacturer to legally produce new energy trams is to obtain production qualifications.

Either by acquiring other car companies to obtain qualifications, or by cooperating with other car companies to produce cars.

Either apply for qualifications by yourself, whether you approve it or not, and when you approve it, are all unknown.

Chen Heyu personally called Meng Lao for this matter, asking for a quota, mainly in 2016, and there were not too many restrictions on it.

In his impression, the production qualification of rice in the previous life was obtained through the acquisition of car companies.

"What else? Some people don't want me to go into the automotive industry. ”

Lei Jun laughed to himself.

"Occupy the pit and don't, huh!"

Chen Heyu snorted coldly and scolded casually, but unfortunately, the size of the transmitter and receiver of wireless energy is still too large, if it can achieve the size of the engine, all new energy vehicle companies will have to look at his face.
