Chapter 79: Lifting a Stone
Chapter 79: Lifting a Stone
No matter how bad the situation at home is, when you tell others about it, you have to exaggerate it to make it ten times better.
While retaining customers, you are also retaining your own people.
People are realistic. If the performance is not good, everyone will want to run away.
If we don't control it, all the people will run away, and will Wang Bo be the only commander without any troops?
Ultimately, it is the collective interests that are harmed.
But before Motorola on the other side came, it had already noticed that you were in a critical moment.
There is a rumor in the industry now that mobile phones are likely to replace pagers.
However, in mainland China, the huge market potential of pagers still exists.
Can everyone afford a Motorola mobile phone that costs tens of thousands of dollars?
Besides, that thing is not easy to use. Not only is it inconvenient to carry, but there are few base stations and the signal is poor.
It's something like a pager. Although it has its shortcomings, it is light and easy to carry.
According to the information Wang Tao got from the government, various signal base stations will definitely be built vigorously in the future.
If it is equipped with a Chinese version of a pager, it can meet the daily needs of most people, except that it cannot make calls like a mobile phone.
Mr. Wang also saw the huge commercial potential in this area, so he wanted to promote cooperation between the two companies.
Seize the market before other competitors react.
The people from Motorola were willing to come over to negotiate, and they also had their own plans.
The first is to expand its interests in China. Although most of the group's resources are now used to develop the darling of the future era - mobile phones.
There is still money to be made in the pager business, and they don't want to completely give up such a large market in the mainland.
The second is to find an obedient partner.
These multinational corporations have also become cunning.
After witnessing the models of Japan and South Korea, they now attach more importance to patent rights.
If these mainlanders learned their technology.
Then they claim it as their own, or simply copy it, and their losses cannot be compensated by the money they earn now.
It is very likely that China will develop into a powerful rival like Japan and South Korea, and the mainland will be even more terrifying.
The latter is more than ten times larger than theirs, and there is a possibility of a surge in talent in the future.
So although the money in front of you feels good, death is not far away.
Motorola's senior American officials were not satisfied with Bird's offer and conditions.
We talked for two hours in the morning, but there was no progress at all.
The two translators felt exhausted after two hours.
"I've never been as tired as I am today." Li Kang ate the fruit in the fruit plate and chatted with Chen Xu.
To be honest, although translators are well paid nowadays, the workload seems to be quite intense as well.
Of course, I was lucky to work as a translator for ATT last time. Multinational companies have always been very generous in paying wages.
"It's nothing. If you want to make money, don't complain about the hard work. It's good enough to have something to eat."
Chen Xu thought to himself: "You have never lived a hard life."
When he first graduated, his salary was pitifully low.
"Bird Company seems to be in a very bad situation. Do you think they can reach an agreement this time?" Chen Xu was chatting with him intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, he was taking a rest at the moment.
The people from Motorola were resting in the VIP room. The red light girls who had not had the opportunity to show their dancing skills before finally showed their roles.
These white pigs felt a little bored when they had nothing to do, so they communicated with these women in broken Chinese.
Lust is a common problem among these white pigs living abroad.
Even in the United States, they still play a lot.
"Miss, you... are so beautiful. You are the most beautiful oriental beauty I have ever seen."
“Can you teach me to speak Chinese?”
I always use these lame and vulgar words to tease girls.
This trick may not work on a good girl like Ye Yuqing, but it is 100% effective on these fallen women. They are all loaches in the same quagmire.
"Sure~!" The woman pretended to be reserved. If there weren't so many people around, she would have thrown herself into the man's arms.
These women also want to live a life similar to those rich ladies outside through these foreigners.
If they like each other, they will boldly leave their phone numbers.
At night, just one phone call and one party will set off.
"Gentlemen, the company has prepared a sumptuous lunch for you. It is just opposite. Please follow me." It was Li Xueer who came in.
She is responsible for contacting and taking them to the restaurant across the building for dinner.
Originally, Xu Lihong wanted her to ask those students from South China Normal University to do it.
After all, they can speak English, have a good image and temperament, and are more reliable.
But Li Xueer herself didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Behind her, there was a person who was about the same height as Li Xueer, about 1.7 meters tall.
He came up to her from behind and said in English, "Miss, you look like a mainland friend I know. Can I meet you? My name is Will Thomas."
Li Xueer was stunned for a moment. She only understood one sentence of what the man said just now: "My name is..."
Out of professionalism, he did not show too much confusion on the surface, but smiled at Thomas.
This smile fascinated the other person.
It's a pity that this man is bald and looks particularly greasy.
Li Xueer was very annoyed, "How could such a disgusting man target me?" She felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.
None of the other tall, high-quality white men moved.
"My name is Li Xueer. Hello, sir." Li Xueer's spoken English was also quite poor. She couldn't even make a simple self-introduction clear. Most of what she was taught in university was dumb English.
As long as your grades are not too bad, you can graduate successfully.
There is even a final exam after graduation.
"After I introduced myself, there was no follow-up." She is so proud. She was also a beauty in college. How could she fall for such a greasy man?
But what the other party lacked the least was patience, even though he could see that Li Xueer disliked him a little.
But I always took the opportunity of work to talk to her.
This scene happened to be seen by other people in the company.
After sending them to the lunch venue, someone from the company came to find Li Xueer.
"Xue'er, it seems that Thomas had a good impression of you just now. Did you know each other before?"
Xu Lihong said this deliberately, actually she was testing him.
Seeing that her leader was so concerned, Li Xueer felt that her opportunity for development had come!
He immediately said to Xu Lihong enthusiastically: "Leader, he is someone I met by chance. I only met him once." She deliberately spoke vaguely, saying that the time she met just now also counted as one time.
So I'm not talking nonsense, and we just met, so I guess we know each other.
Xu Lihong was very happy. "Xue'er, you can communicate more with Thomas. He has a high status among the people who came today. He has a certain ability to influence Mr. Williams' decision."
At the same time, there was also tangible motivation. He took out five hundred yuan from his bag and quietly put it in Li Xueer's hand.
He whispered in her ear, "You must use all means to make him obey. If you succeed, you will get ten times the bonus."
Li Xueer thought that she could gain some benefits for herself by using the little relationship she had just established.
By the way, enter the field of leadership training.
In the end, I was still naive. Only then did I realize, "It turns out that the leader would not promote me for no reason. I am just a personnel person. It's ridiculous."
Li Xueer was a little self-deprecating, and felt very uncomfortable with the money in her hand.
The random words she spoke just now have already put herself in a prominent position. There must be many people waiting for her result.
"What should I do? Should I really go and fight with that bald guy..."
