Chapter 787: [Remote video cloud negotiation]
In the afternoon, Luo Sheng was alone in the empty large living room. After receiving his authorization, Xiaona connected the video signal to a screen in the living room.
But for a moment, the instant image of Steve Mollenkopf, the head of Qualcomm at the time, appeared on the screen. He was sitting in his office.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Luo, I hope my presumptuous communication request didn't disturb you..."
Mollenkopf came up to greet him, and the momentum between his words had softened by three points. You must know that the people of Magnesium have always been proud.
However, the person he faces is Luo Sheng. With his achievements and influence today, the head of any multinational giant in the world has a three-pointer when facing him, even Larry Ellison. The same is true for the goods. Although the goods are jumping, they are not stupid.
The attitude to show others depends on the strength of the other party after all.
"It's okay, anyway, I'm just fine now. It's Mr. Molenkov, you haven't gotten off work. Calling me at this time is quite surprising to me." Luo Sheng said with a smile, so-called not to hit. Smiley face, let alone Luo Sheng is a Chinese, there is no tradition of slapping people on the face.
At the other end of the signal, Mollenkopf had already cursed in his heart when he heard this sentence. Luo Sheng's words seemed to be nothing wrong, like a conversation between old friends, but it is not difficult to understand the pride after careful thinking. With the attitude of overlooking.
After all, one side called back in the middle of the night to show that there was something to ask for, and the other side had nothing to do. It was clear at a glance who the two sides were in their strengths and weaknesses.
The tricks between the big guys are calm.
After a few words of greeting, Luo Sheng asked bluntly, "I wonder what's the matter with Mr. Morenkopf's late night visit?"
This afternoon, I have arranged an appointment for a young lady to do a SPA. I guess the time, people are already waiting in the next room.
Mollenkopf asked back: "Mr. Luo, I wonder if you watched yesterday's hearing?"
"Hearing? Oh, just watched it." Luo Sheng nodded and smiled again: "Listening to you about this, I think I should say a word of thanks for Qualcomm's trust in our company."
Mollenkopf smiled and said: "Haha, it's nothing. Trust is the basis for the two parties to build a consensus on cooperation, isn't it?"
When he heard the other party mention the hearing, Luo Sheng knew what the head of Qualcomm was making. Not surprisingly, this was paving the way for the business he was going to talk about later.
You see, my Qualcomm company is so righteous. You can't do things that are not righteous by all kinds of good things to help you.
But Luo Sheng would not appreciate it at all, because the theft of the so-called American technology company's technology is originally a fictional thing, and his own technology is more advanced than the other party, this is simply not true.
Sure enough, Mollenkopf immediately said: "Mr. Luo, the cooperation between Qualcomm and the C?te d’Azur has been for more than ten years. We have been cooperating sincerely and tacitly, but why do you want to provide the communication baseband of the Azure-5X mobile phone? Give the cargo rights to Huawei?"
The previous foreshadowing is just for this sentence. The implication is that your C?te d’Azur is too unauthentic. I will defend you in various ways at the hearing over there. You are better off the C?te d’Azur, but backhanded it abandoned your partner for more than ten years. I'm going to get better with others, it's simply a "slag division".
Luo Sheng asked back: "Of course I don’t doubt the sincere cooperation and long-term friendship between C?te d’Azur and Qualcomm over the past ten years, Mr. Mollenkopf, but the cooperation between the two parties is based on stability. I can, Is Qualcomm okay? I don't expect to talk about the next five to ten years of long-term time. Can you ensure that you can supply me stably in the short term in the next one to two years?"
"This...."
Mollenkopf was speechless for a while, and he did not dare to say the package ticket, because Qualcomm really couldn't decide on this issue. It had to understand the baby's face and understand that if the baby signs the ban, Qualcomm must also abide by the administrative instructions.
"But we have been fighting, and you have seen that not only Qualcomm, most of the Silicon Valley technology giants are opposed to decoupling with you." Mollenkopf said.
"To be honest, I am not optimistic about the future international situation. I don't like unstable factors." At this point, Luo Sheng stared at the image on the display screen and added: "Mr. Mollenkopf, you guys Those in power want to decouple from me, and now I actually want to decouple."
When he heard this, Molenkopf's eyes condensed. He didn't say anything immediately, but his heart felt inexplicably cold.
Thinking that the other party can say such words lightly and elegantly at this moment, it seems that there is really confidence in it. Now it is really necessary to have technology, capital and capital, and the market to have a market. Change to either party. Nothing to persuade.
For a moment, Luo Sheng went on to say: “The C?te d’Azur has nearly a million employees. They and their families have to eat, and they need stable jobs. The company’s partners need profits and a stable environment. That’s millions of people. For their livelihoods, I have to take my due responsibility to them."
At the end, Luo Sheng simply said: "So the conclusion is obvious. Whether Qualcomm can really provide me with stable supply in the next one or two years, the cooperation with Huawei will not change, not to mention that as early as 2004, I and When Huawei jointly established Lens Semiconductor as a joint venture, the two parties had already signed a strategic contract. As long as Huawei can achieve world-class standards on communication baseband chips, it will be the baseband provider of our products under the Blue Coast."
Mollenkopf was surprised when he heard this. It was the first time he heard such a secret. Since the other party said it frankly and proved to be successful, it means that Qualcomm is no longer the baseband chip of Azure mobile phones. Alternative role.
What really shocked him was that the other party had already started planning in 2004. How terrifying strategic foresight is necessary to achieve this?
He... Did he expect that this situation would happen today?
Mollenkopf didn't engage in psychological activities for too long. He put away his thoughts and asked quickly: "Mr. Luo, has the fifteen years of cooperation and friendship between us come to an end?"
He doesn't want to say such a bit humiliating remark, but 5G technology has already fallen behind. The world's largest customer, the Cote d'Azur, is something Qualcomm must not lose.
If there are one or two, they will lose other customers one after another. At least other smartphone manufacturers in the Greater China market are at risk of losing. This is a fatal blow to Qualcomm.
You know, the country with the largest number of smartphone manufacturers in the world is China, which is also the largest consumer market for smartphones. Not to mention the C?te d’Azur. It is sold globally. Another major customer, Xiao Mi, is also expanding in the subcontinent market. It is eye-catching, and its price-performance ratio is favored by local users.
Losing customers in the Greater China market means that another market with a population of more than 1 billion will also be lost indirectly. Qualcomm really cannot afford to lose.
When Mollenkopf said something aggrieved, Luo Sheng's tears in the face of the crocodile also laughed at the scene: "NO! NO! NO! Moron, the Riviera has always emphasized that we like to make friends. Whether it is a friend from the East or a friend from the West, I am willing to make friends, and I am willing to make friends, and the more the better."
Mollenkopf rolled his eyes and cursed secretly: "Damn it, here again..."
The issue of the Cell chip to Sony suddenly surfaced, as if it reappeared yesterday, vividly.
Sony is already crying in the toilet, thinking that he has contributed a good strength to create a strong competitor in the home console market, and has become an international laughingstock twice in a row. Thinking of this Sony, I want to slap myself a lot. Slap in the face.
I don't know why, when Luo Sheng in the real-time video image said these words with a sunny smile, Mollenkopf immediately became extremely vigilant, for fear that he would not know it if he was routine.
The more Luo Sheng showed such harmlessness to humans and animals, the more Molenkopf became too conceited in his heart.
He hasn't forgotten those people who were smothered by Luo Sheng. They were all smothered one vote after another. I won't mention Sony and the subprime mortgage crisis. The last time he was smothered on a large scale was Wall Street. That group of people, a wave of Bluestar Technology call options once again reaped a wave of Wall Street.
Mollenkopf knew very well and did not forget that Qualcomm was also one of the victims, and failed to escape. The gambling agreement between Da Yi and the Blue Coast was killed once.
When working with this person, you must be careful, careful, and then careful, because if you are not careful, you may jump into the trap set by the other party, and maybe be sold by him and happily help him count the money.
It's too difficult for the head of Qualcomm to say directly to the heart at this moment.
After a while, Mollenkopf put away the unbearable past and asked curiously: "Then I don't know how Mr. Luo intends to maintain our friendship?"
