Herman laughed awkwardly when he heard this. Lu Feng just wanted to say that if he were an American, he would not dare to do these things to Jiafeng.
"Recently, a lot of things have indeed happened. There are rumors from the outside that Siemens' proposal is aimed at Jiafeng. I still hope Mr. Lu will not misunderstand this. Every once in a while, with the advancement of technology, we will take the initiative to
Improving industry standards is also for the sake of the healthy development of the industry." Herman pondered for a moment and said: "I also hope that Mr. Lu will not listen to some rumors from the outside."
Lu Feng felt quite unhappy when he heard this. It seemed to say that a small company like Jiafeng was not worthy of letting Siemens take such a big step. It was purely because Lu Feng was overthinking it.
"I'm sitting here today because I just want to chat. Jiafeng is a rising star and Siemens is a large international company. Maybe we can cooperate somewhere." John still wanted to help Lu Feng pull the strings.
"Cooperation?" Herman couldn't help laughing. He leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs and said, "What kind of cooperation can we have? Electrical equipment cannot be sold directly. I have to admit that Mr. Lu is an excellent person.
A marketing manager can sell cheap things at sky-high prices, and business cooperation is not just about marketing."
John was very embarrassed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Jiafeng still has many technological advantages, and in the core processor..."
"Compared with Intel? Or Sony? Sharp? Or Nokia?" Hermann mocked mercilessly: "We are Siemens, please remember this."
"I know you are a big company, and I have always felt that there are many places in your company that we can learn from. However, this time the European home appliance industry standards are indeed coming out very urgently, but it will not have much impact on us. I understand the process of passing your bill. Unless
It is extremely urgent, otherwise it would be normal to keep arguing for a year or two." Lu Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and continued: "I also know that the international community is not tolerant towards Jiafeng, and even discriminates against it.
."
"No, no, no, we will never discriminate against anyone, but your foundation is indeed weak. Is there a company in China that manufactures core processors? Is there a market for it?" Herman glanced at John and said, "I think you should be more down-to-earth.
, first build a supporting enterprise and slowly upgrade it. You have been doing it for so long and invested so much money, but what results have you achieved? "
Lu Feng was just about to say that there were relevant technological breakthroughs, but he immediately swallowed his words and stared at Herman: "What you asked about is a commercial secret. I know very well which international companies are targeting us. As far as I know,
Are you busy making mobile phones now?"
"The communications industry is a full-chain industry chain. We have layouts in base station facilities, signal compilation, and terminal mobile phones. I know that you have a research and development center in Sweden that cooperates with Nokia. If you are interested, we can talk about this aspect.
Maybe there might be some cooperation." What Herman values is not Jiafeng, but Nokia.
"Of course there is no problem. Cooperation will definitely be good. I am just curious. If we cooperate, can you withdraw the industry standard proposal? You also said that Siemens is a big company. How can a big company listen to others?" Lu
Feng understood that he needed a step up and a greater temptation of benefits, so he opened up and said: "I heard from other places that some people on Wall Street need you to do this. I didn't believe it at the time. I didn't expect that you would come up with such a thing right away."
proposal."
"Is there still such a thing?" John then said: "It shouldn't be. For a company as big as Siemens, I don't think anyone can lead it by the nose."
"This must be a rumor. Don't listen to those baseless things. It's just like the rumors in London that we are targeting Jiafeng. It's nothing." Herman was a little dissatisfied with Lu Feng's questioning. If he was sitting here just to talk about this,
, he was not interested in staying any longer, and said: "I have already explained what needs to be explained. I came here today out of trust in the Schroders Group and to take care of the mood of small businesses. Have you said everything that needs to be said?"
John looked at Lu Feng. It was obvious that he was leaving if he couldn't come up with better terms.
Siemens' proposal will have basically no impact on Jiafeng in the short term. Just think of what I just said, if you want to pass a proposal, these people will be arguing for several years, with various interest groups pulling back and forth.
But just this kind of back-and-forth pulling and pulling was enough for those people to use this as an excuse to keep squeezing Lu Feng. During this period, I don’t know how many congressmen called me, saying openly and secretly that if these people hadn’t voted for you over there,
If you vote against it, I'm afraid this proposal will be passed immediately. After so much waste, I have to give you some 'tea money'.
Just for this tea money, Lu Feng paid a small amount of 20 million pounds. The key is that some financial departments found reasons to hold Jiafeng's money out and refused to let it go out. The funds could not be converted into US dollars and returned to China. Lu Feng could do it now.
All the work was in vain.
Today is about reconciliation and you have to reconcile. If you don’t want to reconcile, you have to reconcile!
"I think it's all business with anyone. What's more, Siemens is still a European company, and Jiafeng is also a European company. It may not be able to help you in other aspects. If you contact Nokia and reach some cooperation between the two parties,
I still have this ability." Lu Feng looked at Herman and said, "I have a good relationship with Almi from Nokia."
"Then what?" Herman asked.
Lu Feng was a little unhappy with his attitude, but this was definitely not the time to be impulsive, so he continued: "Maybe it can bring about unexpected results."
"Really? Then I wish you good luck. I have something else to do. Let's take the first step. If Mr. Lu can convince Nokia to cooperate with us in mobile phone technology, I believe our relationship will not be what it is today." Herman said.
After speaking, he stood up and said to Lu Feng: "If it could be done, it would have been done long ago. It is normal for lions and tigers to cooperate, but there must never be a sheep connecting the two."
After speaking, Hermann stood up and walked towards the door. He had endured enough to give Schroeder Group face, so he opened the door and left directly.
Lu Feng sat there with a livid face. He had been looked down upon by many people in the past, but not recently. He took a puff of smoke and said, "No matter what age you are, you need to be strong to get around!"
"Don't take it personally, I'll see him off!" John stood up, patted Lu Feng's shoulder, comforted him, and walked out towards the door.
As soon as John went out, Lu Feng stood up and followed him out. He didn't want to wait any longer. Before leaving, he waved to John from afar and got in the car. Seeing this, other people at the banquet immediately understood that tonight's meeting was a thorough one.
The talks fell apart.
The entire London business community is confused as to why Siemens is targeting Jiafeng. If they are jealous of Jiafeng's income, then that little money is just a drop in the bucket for Siemens. Some people say that Beko has a deep relationship with Siemens and asked Hermann to provide it.
He vented his anger.
For a time, all kinds of comments were flying around, and speculations continued.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Lu Feng returned to the apartment. He was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. There will be competition among large international companies, but they will also maintain a certain tacit understanding. After all, there will be cooperation in some fields if there is collision.
No one wants to be too rigid.
Lu Feng didn't know how much Wall Street paid, but he knew one thing. Apart from the big guy Nokia, there was probably no one else who could cooperate with Siemens.
There is another option, which is to keep the money in each country and reinvest it, directly build R&D centers, earn money locally and spend it locally without taking any money back.
Just when Lu Feng thought of this, he faced a new problem. If the money is kept locally, can the leaders let go of this piece of fat?
As long as you are slow to pay the tribute and someone randomly names you, all the money will be turned into fines.
"Going to find Almi?" Lu Feng muttered.
When this possibility appeared in his mind, he felt a little unsure. In order to facilitate the cooperation between Nokia and Jiafeng's Ruixin Laboratory, the contract was written to death without leaving any words.
Now, no matter how shameless Lu Feng is, he still can't touch Nokia's sales channels.
Fuso, it's morning now. The folders that need to be processed today are neatly placed in Watanabe Shi's office. The top one is a sample contract for technical exchange and study between several companies in Fuso and Siemens. Both parties feel that they have almost implemented the contract.
, each other sends teams to each other’s R&D base for half a year to exchange some academic theories.
The following is an explanation of the current situation of Jiafeng Electronics in Europe. Siemens’s efforts this time are definitely a slap in the face. If all the money Jiafeng makes is consumed in Europe, there will be no
What a stamina.
Cutting off the source of funds, Schroeder Group's more than two billion US dollars alone is not that powerful. The most important thing is that it undermines Schroeder Group's investment confidence, and he will have to hesitate when making subsequent payments.
After reading this, Shi Watanabe's face was overjoyed. To deal with such a small business, it can be said that all the efforts of nine cattle and two tigers were wasted, and now it is considered to be exhausted.
Watanabe Shi was beaming with joy at this moment. At first, he didn't take Jiafeng seriously at all. He just regarded him as a gadget to get credit for. He really didn't expect that this gadget would live for so long.
If Jiafeng is gone, Watanabe Shih must take credit for himself. Over the past year, his relationship with Goldman Sachs has become closer and closer, and the senior management has lost their previous dissatisfaction with him. As long as he finds a reason, he can return to work.
Return to Wall Street.
Watanabe thought about this, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up the phone and called Jiafeng Group. The last straw had to be added by himself, so that he could show himself, and he was prepared to call Lu Feng every time
After making the call, he wrote a report and sent it to Goldman Sachs' senior management via email, making it appear that he was aware of Lu Feng's status at all times.
Thinking of this, Watanabe Shi pressed the phone number, called the group headquarters, asked for Lu Feng's number in Europe, and then called out.
Lu Feng's room was slightly dim. A cigarette was half burned and the ash was bent. The phone suddenly rang. Lu Feng was startled. The cigarette broke instantly and fell to the ground, shattering to pieces!
