On April 29, 1995, at 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Siwen and a team appeared at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel. The group included Li Siwen, Lu Shuhang, Zheng Jiayu, Chen Qiuyu, Li Fuzhen, Sparrow, and accompanying reporter Ronnie. There were seven people, and a delegation was definitely a delegation.
"The full name of Motorola's president is Robert Calvin. His father is Motorola founder Paul Calvin. After Paul handed over the position of president to Robert in 1958, Motorola entered the Robert era.
Robert can be said to be a legend in the business world. Since he took over Motorola, he has begun to reform rapidly, bringing Motorola into the field of high-tech and vigorously developing communication technology. The most shocking thing is that in 1967, the Apollo 11 spacecraft was equipped with a Motorola wireless transponder to transmit voice and television signals from the moon to the earth, which shocked the whole world at that time.
In 1983, Motorola launched the world's first big brother, and last year, it launched three Iden digital intercoms in succession.
According to n, Motorola is already developing a new folding phone, which is benchmarked against the Nokia 1011, which is sold on the market, and is expected to be mass-produced next year."
Chen Qiuyu reported the information while walking. Seeing Li Siwen nodding frequently, she continued: "Robert has four sons, William is his eldest son, and now he serves as the company's vice president. The outside world's evaluation of William is that his ability is not inferior to Robert, and he is likely to become Motorola's next heir."
After Chen Qiuyu finished speaking, she whispered: "So we can't take it lightly today."
"I understand." Li Siwen nodded slightly. Although these information did not work much, he still gave Chen Qiuyu great recognition. Even Lu Shuhang said from the side: "Brother, this girl is OK!"
"She has a strong ability and is meticulous in her work, so sometimes I feel that keeping her around is really a waste." Li Siwen whispered.
"The more you are, the more you should stay by your side to polish it, because what she needs is not to improve her abilities but to improve her social experience. Learning more about your evil ways will not harm her." Lu Shuhang said with a smile.
"Brother, are you praising me?" Li Siwen had already brought people to the door of the private room on the third floor while talking and laughing. When the waiter opened the door, he took everyone in without saying a word.
In the box, there were only two except for four bodyguards. One of them was wearing a high-end suit and a blue tie. His blonde hair was very eye-catching and had a distinct western outline. Next to him was a woman in her thirties with neat hair on the back of her head and her blue eyes were charming.
"Hello, Mr. Li Siwen." As soon as Li Siwen entered the private room, the woman walked up first and stretched out her hand and said, "I am Vera, Mr. William's chief secretary, and I'm very happy that you can go to the appointment."
Li Siwen shook hands with Vera and looked at the man. Vera smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. William, the current vice president of Motorola."
Li Siwen thought William would react, but he didn't expect that the other party just glanced lightly and didn't even nod. What was even more annoying was that the other party took out a cigar and started smoking.
Villa seemed to have expected it and calmly said to Li Siwen: "Mr. Li, sit down!"
Li Siwen smiled softly, then sat opposite William. After sitting down, he did not look at William, but looked at Vera and said, "Miss Vera, aren't you sitting?"
Vera, who was standing next to William, was obviously stunned when she heard this sentence, then looked at the people standing behind Li Siwen and said, "I am like them, not the protagonist of this dinner."
Vera's meaning is very obvious, that is, in such occasions, we must divide our status, our ranks and identities. She, as a secretary, can sit at the negotiating table, but it is not suitable for sitting in today's occasion. She is just a rule.
However, Li Siwen laughed when he heard this: "Sorry, you are different from them. Everyone, sit down. Don't be polite about what you want to eat."
After Li Siwen finished speaking, everyone behind him sat down hustled down. Li Siwen even said to William: "Mr. William, I'm very sorry. I'm not a person who likes to follow rules. I only know that everyone is hungry now without supper. I guess you won't mind, right?"
William's posture was obviously the same as a nobleman, but he didn't expect Li Siwen to be so rude. He let out a puff of cigarette and said in English with a calm face: "Li, you give me a very bad impression."
William used a single word to call Lee, which shows that he had no favoritism or kindness towards Lee Siwen, and continued to add: "This is not a cooperative attitude."
"Is cooperation related to impressions? I think you only have interests, right?" Although Li Siwen's tone was very kind, she said it very badly. At the end, she even added: "Besides, it was the call you called me, not what I want to come."
William was obviously angry at these words and replied coldly: "Li, you should know your situation."
"I know my situation better than anyone else. This is exactly the reason why I come to the beautiful country, but it does not mean that I need to beg for others in a low voice." Li Siwen took a sip of the wine and frowned and said, "This wine is really hard to drink. By the way, I continued to say what I just said. I am not afraid that Mr. William would be angry. Actually, I don't want to cooperate with Motorola. The reason is very simple. I look down on you very much."
ah?
ah?
ah?
The temperature at the scene dropped to freezing point in an instant. Don’t say this to shock William and his gang for a few seconds, and everyone on Li Siwen was also shocked.
Is this a wrong English word? Or what happened? Is there anyone talking about business like this? It's just kicking it on the face!
"Li Siwen, what do you mean?" William suddenly slapped the table and almost stood up from his position.
On the other hand, Li Siwen, neither humble nor arrogant, replied calmly: "Mr. William, don't be angry first. There is a reason why I look down on you. First of all, from a social perspective, your Western arrogance makes me very upset. You Motorola is indeed a big company, but shouldn't a big company be more demeanor?"
"Haha!" William suddenly laughed: "You are just yellow people from China, and you also want to get fair treatment from the nobles?"
"If your father was here, he would definitely not be so rude. The outside world would say that you are better than your father, and I am doubtful about this." Li Siwen paused slightly and continued: "By the way, when your father Mr. Robert went to the Huaxia Jingshi to set up an office in 1987, he was much more polite than you."
Li Siwen's words were very strong. This attitude was not like talking about cooperation, but more like being a quarrel. Although everyone was shocked when they heard it, it was really good. It was almost the same as pointing at William's nose and scolding, completely suppressing William's arrogance just now.
Although Zheng Jiayu and others were surprised, they were used to Li Siwen's abnormal operations, while Li Fuzhen developed a sense of awe in her heart. She had not been in contact with the Americans once or twice, and she had also seen her father's servile attitude in front of the Americans with her own eyes.
Before coming here, she had already made the worst plan, but when she saw Li Siwen, she could no longer describe it as bad.
How could this be done? Li Fuzhen kept asking herself.
At this moment, the veins in William's temple, who was hit by nothing, were about to jump out. He was about to speak, but Li Siwen intercepted him.
"In addition to the attitude issue, there is another most practical problem, which is why the most well-known technology company in the beautiful country cannot even make LCD screens? This time, do you know why I missed the door three times? Because you have no goods at all."
Li Siwen sighed: "It's really sad to say that. The beautiful country is known as the strongest in the world, the number one in the universe, and the big technology country. But he can't buy an LCD screen. How can you make me look down on it?"
William was speechless for a moment, but Vera next to him whispered: "Mr. Li, you are a technology expert. You should know that every company and every country have their own strengths."
"So, you don't have what I want, so what else can you talk about?" Li Siwen asked back.
"Although our company does not produce LCD screens, it does not mean that we have no goods in hand. This is also the reason to contact you." Vera replied.
"I understand if you say that, you just want to resell the display screen imported from Japan." Li Siwen spread his hands back and leaned on the chair casually.
"So that's it." Vera said.
"Since that's the case, I won't talk nonsense. How many goods do you have?" Li Siwen asked back.
"About……"
Before Villa finished speaking, William interrupted: "Do you think our cooperation can be successful?"
"Mr. William, I said that talking about cooperation depends on interests, not attitude. As long as I can give a reasonable price, you have no reason to refuse. Of course, if you don't want to talk, I can leave now." Li Siwen said calmly.
William's eyes became even more gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li, you are the most rude person I have ever met."
"Thank you for the compliment." Li Siwen pursed her lips and smiled.
William took a deep breath and clenched his fists several times, but the secretary beside him carefully touched him, indicating calmness.
After a while, William said: "We can sell 1.5 million 3-inch LCD screens, but the price is definitely higher than in the market. I can tell you a unfortunate news that many companies in Japan have sent emails to our companies, clearly asking the companies here to refuse to sell products to you, otherwise it will affect our cooperation with Japan."
"What? Do you listen to the Japanese?" Li Siwen asked back.
"We will not obey anyone, but from the perspective of interests, we will not offend our partners because of unprofitable transactions, so unless you show sincerity, I will definitely not sell the goods to you. And if even Motorola does not sell your goods, other companies will not dare to take this risk." William paused slightly, and arrogance appeared in his eyes again: "If you want to save the Tang Dynasty, you must pass this level. I need you to make a solemn apology for your rude behavior just now."
William smiled like victory. He thought that the pressure from his move out of Japan would make Li Siwen surrender, but the young man in front of him was unmoved and even calmly ate a steak.
"Mr. William, let's talk about the price. The LCD screen worth 1.5 million yuan is priced at a market price of 5 US dollars per dollar, which is 7.5 million US dollars. How about I pay 8 million US dollars?"
Li Siwen said calculatingly.
"Haha!" William laughed: "Li, is this the interest you mentioned? Your interests are too worthless, right?"
"Otherwise, Mr. William will offer a price." Li Siwen replied softly.
William raised his eyebrows lightly and did not answer for a short time. Outside the door of the box, three people were eavesdropping on the scene. The three were Son Masayoshi, Lee Jae-rong and Xin Dongbin.
After the three arrived in Beautiful Country yesterday, they saw Li Siwen going to Motorola's newspaper. Then Masayoshi Son contacted the senior management through an intermediary, and the next scene came into being.
Masayoshi Son is very clear that it is difficult to cut off Li Siwen's purchase of goods, especially a large company like Motorola, who can completely avoid giving him face. So when he saw William, his first proposal was to help Sony buy back the display screen in the other party and sign a new supply agreement. However, William is not stupid. He knew that such blockade competition could make great profits from it, so he proposed that Masayoshi Son compete with Li Siwen, and Masayoshi Son could only be forced to agree.
Things have developed to this point, and Masayoshi Son naturally does not want Li Siwen to ignite the spark, even if it is only a little bit.
Therefore, he and Li Zairong Xin Dongbin hid outside the private room, preparing to wait for an opportunity to teach Li Siwen a lesson and avenge their humiliation in Japan.
But the situation on the scene was completely beyond their expectations. William, who was fighting at home, did not take any advantage, and was even criticized by Li Siwen. What is this? Is this what I should do at a desperate situation?
The three of them dared not speak, but the exchange of eyes showed their shock.
"Brother Zhengyi, why is this William not as fluent in English as Li Siwen?" Li Zairong finally couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Li Siwen is a negotiating expert. He is determined to win William and wants to sell the display to him, otherwise he wouldn't be so crazy." Masayoshi Son explained.
"What should I do now?" Li Zairong asked.
"Of course we are here." Masayoshi Son stood up straight and tidied up his clothes, and then said to the two people next to him: "We want Li Siwen to understand the consequences of offending us. I have already seen his surprised expression."
Masayoshi Son felt a surge of excitement. He thought he had seen through Li Siwen. As long as he stood out at this critical moment, all Li Siwen's arrogance would be disintegrated.
