Li Yunhai had an idea and said that he would like to go to my house to play mahjong, right? The family bought a new automatic mahjong machine imported from Taitoyo, and there is no need to shuffle the cards to play mahjong.

These words successfully attracted Zhu Lin's attention and asked, "Hey, is it?" Automatic mahjong machine? ”

Gong Jie smiled: "I've heard someone say before that there has been an automatic mahjong machine in the East for a long time, automatic shuffling and automatic card building, but I haven't seen it, Zhu Lin, let's go to his house to have a look?" ”

Zhu Lin smiled and said okay.

The three of them came out and went to Li Yunhai's house.

Lin Zhi was watching TV at home, and when he saw Zhu Gong and the two coming over, he said with a smile: "You guys came just in time, chat with me, I'm bored at home." ”

Zhu Lin said: "Yunhai said that your family bought a mahjong machine imported from Taitungyang, I don't know what it looks like?" We listened and were curious, so we came over to have a look. ”

Lin Zhi led them to a guest room on the first floor, which was specially furnished as a mahjong room, with an automatic mahjong machine surrounded by a pantry and a few chairs.

Li Yunhai operated the mahjong machine to show them.

Zhu Lin smiled: "You said that those Orientals are really eccentric, and even this can be invented." No wonder I heard people say that laziness is the driving force behind human progress, and they were too lazy to shuffle the cards and build cards, so they invented this machine. ”

Four people sit down to play mahjong.

Zhu Lin and Gong Jie on the side, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi on the other.

After playing until twelve o'clock in the evening, Lin Zhi yawned again and again, saying that I can't stand it, I have to sleep, why don't you three play again? He also beckoned Zhu Lin and Gong Jie and asked them not to go back to the hotel at night, so they slept at home.

Zhu and Gong were having a good time, so they naturally agreed.

Lin Zhi got up and went upstairs to sleep.

Li Yunhai accompanied Zhu and Gong to play three-person mahjong.

He felt someone touch him lightly with his foot.

Judging by the direction, it should be Zhu Lin who is sitting on the left-hand side.

Li Yunhai understood and glanced at Zhu Lin.

The three of them played for another hour before resting.

Li Yunhai arranged their room and went back to sleep.

In his own home, Li Yunhai will not mess around no matter how abusive he is.

Guo Wanhua, Zhu, Gong and others rarely come to the headquarters, and this time they will naturally have to stay for a while before returning.

Li Yunhai took time out to accompany them separately.

After the annual meeting, Li Yunhai was busy for two days before officially meeting with Abt and his party from the Netherlands.

Abt was hung by Li Yunhai for a few days, and no matter how big his temper was, he had already been exhausted.

These days, Abt has not been idle, but visited the headquarters building of Sihai Group and the Sihai Park.

They have a more comprehensive understanding of Sihai Group.

At half past nine in the morning, Abt came to Li Yunhai's office.

Li Yunhai invited them to sit down and smiled slightly: "I'm really sorry, I've been too busy lately to neglect you." Have you had fun in Western State, right? There are many good scenic spots to see around, such as Hengshan, one of the five mountains, and the hometowns of two great people, all of which are worth seeing. If you go a little further, it is Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. ”

Abt smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Li, we are not here to travel, but to discuss cooperation with Sihai Group." ”

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I heard you say, well, what else is possible for cooperation between us?" As you may know, we've already found another supplier. ”

Abt said, "I know that it is the Oriental companies that supply you. ”

This is not a secret, this annual meeting, Toyo came to several entrepreneurs, all of whom are partners of Sihai Group, and Abt must have seen it a long time ago.

Abt said: "Can Toyo's products meet your company's requirements?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "We have just started cooperation, and the first batch of purchased parts has not yet arrived, so I can't make an evaluation now. But I believe in their strength and credibility. Toyo is going through an unprecedented economic upheaval, with many companies going bankrupt and many employees unemployed, and their products are being sold at reduced prices, which is very cost-effective. ”

Abt's face froze, his deep blue-gray eyes blinked vigorously, and said, "Mr. Li, you can purchase parts from Toyo, but the two of us can still cooperate in the chip business." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Of course you can, I have already put forward the conditions before, but you did not agree." ”

When he visited the Netherlands before, he proposed to use Philips' machine tool technology in exchange for the authorization of the X64 chip.

Philips has undergone many reforms and cut off many businesses, such as ASML lithography machines, and within a few years, it sold its shares and no longer holds shares in ASML.

In terms of machine tool technology, they have also been reduced, focusing mainly on the development of medical equipment machine tools.

Li Yunhai knew the general trend of Philips' future development, so he approached them to discuss cooperation business.

Since Philips will sell its machine tool subsidiary sooner or later, Li Yunhai is most likely to succeed if he is looking for them to trade now.

Abt rubbed his chin very sadly and said, "Mr. Li, we can't agree to your request, it's not that I don't agree, but the company can't agree." ”

Li Yunhai shrugged: "Then there will be no talk between us." You can't come up with anything other than machine technology that interests me. ”

Abt thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, we can't transfer all the machine tool companies to you, but we can cooperate with you." How about we provide you with the machines you need? ”

Li Yunhai said: "If it is just procurement, I can find other companies to cooperate, such as Germany's and America's, their machine tools are more advanced and reliable than yours." All I need is a full set of technical information! ”

Abt just shook his head: "It's hard. Mr. Li, we are a Fortune 500 company, we want to have our own chip technology, why don't you make a price? If the price is right, we will exchange the money for your chip license. ”

Li Yunhai directly refused: "Mr. Abt, what I can exchange is indeed only X64 chip technology, which is also our biggest hole card, so I won't play this hole card casually." Transactions and negotiations with you can unfortunately only end here. ”

Abt spent so much time and energy to come to Xizhou and wait for five days, and ended the negotiations in five minutes!

He was unwilling.

For Philips, it doesn't matter whether the cooperation with Sihai Group can be successful, the big deal is to continue to follow the old path and purchase chips from other manufacturers.

But for Abt himself, this negotiation was an opportunity for him to counterattack!

If he can win the contract of Sihai Group, Abt, the vice president, will be able to successfully ascend to the position and sit on the throne of the boss.

Abt racked his brains, negotiated with Li Yunhai in a roundabout way, proposed various possibilities for cooperation, and even offered a high-priced acquisition plan of $5 billion.

But Li Yunhai rejected his proposals one by one, saying that we don't need anything else from you except machine tool technology.

In fact, Li Yunhai also knows that Philips' most advanced technology is in the medical field, especially CT, magnetic resonance, ventilators and other products, which are far ahead in the industry.

It's just that Sihai Group has not set foot in the medical field.

So he's not interested in the medical technology that Philips is proud of.

There is a specialization in the art industry, Li Yunhai can play cross-border, but he has to play an industry that he can eat and live.

The water in the field of medical machinery is too deep, and Li Yunhai may not be able to play well.

Negotiations have reached an impasse.

Li Yunhai said: "Mr. Abt, let's talk about this first, shall we? If we continue to talk, we will not be able to reach an intention to cooperate. We welcome you to visit our province and hope you have a great time. ”

This is the eviction order.

If you are an Oriental, it is estimated that you should get up and say goodbye as soon as you hear this.

But Abt didn't understand, or pretended to be stupid, and continued: "Mr. Li, I still have an idea, how about we cross-hold each other? ”

Li Yunhai asked, "What is the cross-shareholding method?" ”

"It is Sihai Group that holds the shares of Philips, and Philips also holds the shares of Sihai Group. In this way, the two companies can reach a deeper partnership. ”

Li Yunhai groaned: "Excuse me, how to determine the amount of this shareholding?" How to ensure the rights and interests of both parties? ”

"If Mr. Lee agrees, we can have a more in-depth discussion. ”

Li Yunhai said: "This is what you personally mean?" Or is it the opinion of the top management of your company? ”

Abt said: "This is the way I came up with, the two of us cross-sharehold, we can all share the profits of the two companies, so that the technology of the two of us can be shared." ”

Li Yunhai couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Abt, you may be a very competent manager, but you will definitely not be a good boss." Your idea is beautiful, but it's just your wishful thinking, and your boss is unlikely to agree. ”

Abt said, "Why don't you agree? This is a good thing for mutual benefit. ”

Li Yunhai said: "The reason is very simple, because in the eyes of your BOSS, our Sihai Group is not qualified to be on an equal footing with Philips, and cooperating with us will only make him suffer." ”

Abt said: "No, I don't think so, I think Sihai Group is a very great company, and it can do equal transactions with Philips." ”

Li Yunhai was skeptical.

He knew too well the nature of capitalists.

It is impossible for capitalists to trade their best interests in exchange.

They fancy a thing, the first thing they think of is to grab, and if they can't grab it, they will change it with small and big things, and after they fail, they will find a way to negotiate with you.

Now that the negotiations have failed, the capitalists will either give up on you or encircle you, but they will never come up with their money to trade with you.

Li Yunhai said: "Mr. Abter, I am willing to cooperate with you, but the premise is fair and just. Your comments are very good,"

Abt said: "Mr. Li, I will contact the headquarters now, and if this matter can be negotiated, then we can reach a cooperation." Can I borrow your phone? ”

Li Yunhai pointed to the phone on the desktop and said, "Use it casually." ”

Abt picked up the phone and called back to headquarters.

The phone rang for a long time and no one answered.

Abt redial it again.

Li Yunhai thought of something, looked at his watch, and said, "Mr. Abt, we are now in Xizhou, and there is a seven-hour time difference between us and your Netherlands. In other words, it's still midnight on the Dutch side. ”

Abt also reacted at this time, startled, and wanted to hang up the phone, but the call was answered.

"Hello!" A not-so-pleasant man's voice came over the phone.

Abt spoke into the microphone and communicated with the other party.

They spoke Dutch, and Li Yunhai couldn't understand a word.

After about ten minutes, Abt put down the microphone in his hand.

Li Yunhai looked at Abt's face and asked, "They didn't agree?" ”

Abt said with a lonely face: "Li Zhisheng, you are so powerful, you actually guessed in advance that they would not agree." Even the reasons are exactly the same as you say! It's amazing! I heard that there is a very magical art of fate in the East, do you know this technique? ”

Li Yunhai smiled and waved his hand, and said: "I don't know anything physiognomy, I just know the methods and ideas of capitalists." ”

Abt said: "I argued, I told them, I have been to your headquarters, and your headquarters is more luxurious than Philips's headquarters!" Your headquarters is the size of eight Philips headquarters, and your research institute is much larger than Philips' research institute. Your factory is also much bigger than Philips's! I also told them that Sihai Group is a very influential enterprise in China, such a big country, such a population, such a good company, sooner or later it will advance into the world's top 500 enterprises. But they didn't listen, and they didn't believe! ”

Li Yunhai said: "The negotiation of the company should start from their respective strength and status, which is equivalent to the exquisite match in marriage. The door is not right, the household is wrong, either you dislike me, or I climb you, it is difficult to negotiate. Even if the talks are completed, there will be conflicts and opinions. ”

Abt didn't understand and asked, "Why should marriage pay attention to what you say?" Shouldn't you talk about love? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Mr. Abter, in your Dutch royal family, there is a princess named Bella, she told me a paragraph, she said that it is impossible for her to marry the person she loves in this life, whether this lover is a Mi country, an East Asian, or an African, her marriage is decided by her family." ”

"I'm just an ordinary person, I can't understand what the royal family thinks," Abt said. ”

Li Yunhai said: "In the same way, you can't understand your boss's thoughts. ”

Abt slowly closed his eyes, stood up, shook hands with Li Yunhai, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I have delayed too much of your precious time. Unfortunately, our cooperation was not successful. Believe me, I really came to negotiate with you with great confidence. ”

Li Yunhai felt this, and he also felt that Abt was a person who could be friends, and said: "There is a saying in my country that buying and selling cannot be benevolent. The deal between us didn't happen, but we could be good friends. ”

Abt smiled happily, "Really? Mr. Li, do you really regard me as a friend? Didn't you just say that I'm too low-end to understand the thoughts of you big bosses? ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this Westerner is really a straight man!

"Mr. Abt, everyone has their own position, if you can be your president, then you are successful, you don't have to understand what your boss is thinking, you just need to be able to complete the tasks he gave you."

"Ok, I see." Abt showed a very funny smile and suddenly asked, "I see that your company also has a lot of foreign employees?" Does your company recruit foreigners? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Of course recruitment, we have branches all over the world. One thing you can see is very accurate, and it is also well said, our Sihai Group will soon enter the world's top 500 enterprises! ”

Abt said, "Mr. Li, can I join your company to work?" ”

Li Yunhai was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Mr. Abt, are you kidding?" ”

"No, no, no, I said seriously, I really want to work in your company. Your company is one – how so? It's a very good, very atmospheric company, everyone in your company is working very hard, but I can see confidence and happy smiles on their faces, which is a very strange thing. I am convinced that the management of your company is very humane. ”

Li Yunhai snorted and said, "Mr. Abt, where do you want to work in our group?" Headquarters in Europe? ”

"No, if possible, I would like to come to your headquarters to work. I like this city very much, there are mountains and rivers, rivers and continents, there are not too many high-rise buildings, but the pace of life is very slow, and there are many delicious foods on the streets. I've been to a lot of cities around the world and I love it. ”

"Do you want to discuss it with your family before making a decision?"

"I don't think so, because I'm divorced, my daughter is in a boarding university, and I can go anywhere by myself."

"Your daughter went to college? I don't see, how old are you? ”

"I'm 40 years old and my daughter is 17."

"Oh!" Li Yunhai said, "Welcome, Mr. Abt, we need a managerial talent like you, but you need to learn our Chinese as soon as possible, because many employees at the headquarters can only speak Chinese." ”

"Please give me half a year, I will definitely learn Chinese."

"Yes, in the meantime, I will arrange a translator to be your secretary."

"Great, Mr. Lee, no, my boss, I'm honored to join your company and serve you. Also, I regret that I didn't join your company sooner. What kind of position do you assign me? ”

"Hahaha!" Li Yunhai shook hands with Abt and said, "You are the vice president of the group at Philips, and if you come to our company, of course you can also be qualified for the work of the vice president of the group." However, there is no vacancy for vice president in our company now. ”

The smile on Abt's face couldn't help but retract.

He jumped ship, of course, because he was optimistic about the future development of Sihai Group, but if the salary and rank were too low, then he would definitely have to think twice.

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "I need a vice president to help me handle the company's daily administrative affairs, I wonder if Mr. Abt is willing to take on this position?" ”
