Reborn multinational giant

Fang Zhe’s words were a bit choking. A hint of unpleasantness flashed across the face of Ratan*Tata, who was a bit arrogant, but in the blink of an eye, his face returned to his kind smile:

"Mr. Fang, I apologize for what I just said. I don’t mean to look down on young people who start from scratch. On the contrary, I have full admiration for every young man like you who has built a career from scratch. I just hope that Don't half-hearted, Maude can concentrate on doing a good job in the family business!"

Latan Tata’s attitude gave Fang Zhe a certain understanding. Mr. Lei, who was sitting next to him, felt a sweat from the bottom of his heart. Anyhow, this time we are here to ask someone to do something, Fang Zhe talked about The words are not at all polite.

However, President Lei was even more surprised at the apology of Ratan Tata. With Ratan Tata's arrogance and his status, he did not apologize to Fang Zhe, a junior. This seems a bit weird.

Mr. Lei looked at Fang Zhe, Fang Zhe glanced at him, then looked at Pramod who respectfully did not interrupt, and he had some guesses in his heart.

Since Ratan*Tata is so polite, Fang Zhe said with the help of a donkey: "Mr. Ratan, I very much agree with your idea of ​​educating younger generations. Industry is a strong foundation for a country. Tata Group can focus on industry. It is a good thing for all Indians.

However, science and technology are changing with each passing day. Today’s industry is no longer the industry of yesterday. In the past, the industry focused on manpower, hydropower and coal, while modern industry focused more on intelligence, automation, and unmanned technology. It is about intelligent manufacturing. In this, information And data processing is the core and key!"

Ratan* Tata smiled. Fang Zhe told him about industry, like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong. The Tata Group has been playing industry for hundreds of years. How could he not understand what Fang Zhe said?

Ratan Tata asked in a ridiculous and teasing tone: "Mr. Fang can tell me, what do you think Pramod learning and researching the mobile Internet can do for these? Is it also between industrial robots? Want to use WeChat?

Among the top ten richest people in India, six are from the industrial and manufacturing industries, and five of them own the top steel mills in India and the world!

Steel plant, Mr. Fang, steel is the cornerstone and soil of industry and manufacturing industry!"

Fang Zhe smiled noncommitantly and said: "Mr. Latan, I agree with you that steel is indeed the cornerstone of the industrial industry, but if everyone has a large amount of this cornerstone, then the importance of this cornerstone will decline. Just like water and air, they are extremely important to every life in the world, but no one cares or cares about their value, because they are everywhere.

Because steel is very important, most countries in the world, whether it is Europe, the United States, or China, Japan, India, are producing steel. Now in China, the price of a ton of low-end steel is even less than a ton of cabbage.

The global steel industry is facing overcapacity. No matter how low the price of steel is, and no matter how high the steel technology is, you will also face competition from thousands of steel mills around the world!

As for the use of studying and researching the mobile Internet?Do you think that the future industrial equipment should not be a huge intelligent information network?Do you think that the car of the future should not be driverless?Do you think that in the future I will use my mobile phone to control the TV, refrigerator and various furniture at home, will it be realized?"

"Ohmygod, that's great!" Ratan Tata did not answer, his nephew Pramod clapped his hands excitedly and praised him!

Ratan Tata looked at his nephew Pramod's excited expression and Fang Zhe's confident face, and said with emotion, perhaps he is really old and can't keep up with the times!

An ideological confrontation between the older generation of traditional entrepreneurs and the new generation of young entrepreneurs came to an abrupt end. Fang Zhe also on behalf of Mr. Lei, slowly stated the purpose and purpose of the trip:

"Mr. Ratan, this one next to me is Mr. Lei, the founder of our Chinese mobile phone brand Xiaomi. We are here to visit you this time, hoping to reach a cooperation with Tata Group through you to help Xiaomi mobile phones enter the Indian market , And choose a suitable place in India to invest in the establishment of a production assembly line for the production of Xiaomi mobile phones!"

At this time, President Lei, who had been cautious in speaking because of his poor English, also said:

"Mr. Ratan, our Xiaomi mobile phone is currently the fastest growing smartphone brand in China. The Redmi 1 mobile phone, which was released only half a year ago, has sold more than 15 million units in China. If we can get you and Tata Group I believe that we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results for both of us!"

The interpreter on the side translated Mr. Lei’s words word for word to Ratan * Tata. He did not rush to agree or refuse. After a while, he said: "If Xiaomi encounters any difficulties in India , I can provide you with some help, but I’m afraid I can’t agree with the cooperation with Tata Group!"

When President Lei heard the translated words from the translator, his face showed joy at the same time, but he was also a little confused. Since Ratan Tata has agreed to help Xiaomi enter the Indian market, why did he reject the Tata Group and What about Xiaomi’s cooperation?

Mr. Lei wants to come, Tata Group and Xiaomi cooperate to sell Xiaomi mobile phones through Tata Group’s own offline channels, which is a good thing for both parties. Perhaps Xiaomi itself is unable to deploy and sell in India, where the situation is complicated. However, the Tata Group has long been entangled and deeply rooted in India. It is just a breeze to help Xiaomi sell mobile phones.

Mr. Lei was puzzled, but Fang Zhe was even more sure of his previous understanding. He straightforwardly said: "Mr. Ratan, there is a Chinese idiom called Zhien Tubao. Since you are willing to help Xiaomi enter the Indian market, So if you need me and Xiaomi to help in the future, just speak up!"

Ratan Tata has a joyful smile on his face. He arranged all this before and after he even let his nephew Pramod go to Bangalore to greet Fang Zhe in a private jet, just for these words, or Fang Zhe The promise of the richest man in China.

"Prahmod is the youngest and most promising descendant of our family. I have always hoped that he can inherit the head of the Tata Group and let the glory of our Tata family continue.

It's a pity that he just graduated from London and he has no qualifications or prestige. The board of directors can only choose Mistry, a foreigner. I hope that Pramod will follow you to China to exercise for two years, and I will teach him carefully when he comes back. !"
