Reborn multinational giant
Chapter 558 Isn't I A Giant?
Mr. Lei’s words warmed Fang Zhe’s heart. He has made so much contribution to Xiaomi. If Mr. Lei cannot stand firmly on his side today, Fang Zhe will inevitably be chilled, and he will never do anything to Xiaomi in the future. So caring.
David listened to Mr. Lei's answer, and his eyes fell on Fang Zhe again. He knew that his real opponent was Fang Zhe.
"President Fang, first of all congratulations to the Huizhong company that you founded is about to go public and has achieved a good valuation in the capital market. But don’t forget that Apple is also a shareholder of Huizhong. If you insist on going against Apple, Huizhong Will face great potential risks.
If investors and shareholders know that Huizhong is violent with Apple because of an external company, I think Huizhong’s listing might not be as smooth as expected!"
The threat in David's tone was already self-evident, and all three of Xiaomi's side, except Fang Zhe, felt tremendous pressure.
Mr. Lei looked at Lin Xiaobin with some concern. He believed that Fang Zhe rejected Apple’s unreasonable demands for the benefit of Xiaomi, but if Huizhong’s interests suffered because of Xiaomi’s antagonism with Apple, Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin thought of it. , Are somewhat sorry.
When the two were worried, they heard Fang Zhe chuckle and said, "Mr. David, I think you have made two things wrong. Apple is a shareholder of Huizhong, but Huizhong is not a shareholder of Apple. Need to be responsible for Apple's interests in Huizhong, not for Apple's own interests.
In addition, Xiaomi is not an external company. You seem to have forgotten that Huizhong is one of Xiaomi’s shareholders. The interests of Xiaomi are the interests of Huizhong. I safeguard the interests of Xiaomi. I am protecting Huizhong’s interests as well as Apple’s Huizhong’s interests."
"Puff", the beautiful translator sitting on the side, suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud. It was only until today that she discovered that Fang Zong, the national male god, was eloquent!
The beauty translator translated Fang Zhe's original words to David. Although she didn't have Fang Zhe's eloquence, seeing David's stunned expression, she made Fang Zhe's meaning clear.
David was a little angry and ashamed. Fang Zhe's remarks were obviously playing a logical loophole with him. Fortunately, he directly gave Fang Zhe an ultimatum: "I just want to ask one last time. Xiaomi really can't agree to launch Huami. Is it a conference?"
From Fang Zhe to Mr. Lei, no one answered his question. David laughed so furiously that he stood up and said coldly:
"Today's matter, I will truthfully report to the headquarters!"
Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin both stood up. David was taken aback. He just stood up and didn't say that he was going to leave. Now, if he doesn't leave, he can't do it!
Mr. Lei and Mr. Lei politely sent David to the door. Fang Zhe sat where he was. David was furious when he saw this scene, but he forgot. When Fang Zhe entered the door, he didn't get up to meet him either. Zhe is just using his way to cure his body!
"Wait a minute!" Fang Zhe suddenly stopped the three people who came to the door.
"Hmph, the Chinese really bullied the soft and feared the hard." David thought in his heart and turned around with a smug face. He believed that Fang Zhe must regret it.
President Lei and Lin Xiaobin also looked at Fang Zhe with a look of confusion. With their understanding of each other, Fang Zhe’s decision is unlikely to be easily changed. Sure enough, the three only heard Fang Zhe say:
"It rained outside when I came, so remember to bring an umbrella when you go out!"
David’s face was full of black lines, and he said strangely in the Chinese of his three-legged cat: "My car is underground!"
The beautiful translator who stood up to see him with the three people behind Lei turned around and looked at Fang Zhe with a convincing expression, thinking that Mr. Fang was really skinny.
David walked to the elevator with furious steps. President Lei and Lin Xiaobin looked at each other helplessly, and said to Fang Zhe in an angry tone: "Now you really offend him!"
After speaking, the two chased David into the elevator.
The old god Fang Zhe was drinking coffee in the VIP room, and whispered in his mouth: "This coffee is delicious, I have no taste."
After a few minutes, Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin returned to the VIP room. They closed the door as soon as they entered, and looked at Fang Zhe and questioned: "Let’s talk about it, what do you think! If you can’t tell why, come today. Don't go back!"
"Then I'll be laying on the ground floor here!" Fang Zhe casually said, then looked at Mr. Lei with a serious face and asked:
"Why should we be afraid of Apple?"
Mr. Lei and Lin Xiaobin were both taken aback, neither of them expected that Fang Zhe would ask such a question.
"We are not afraid of Apple, but" Lin Xiaobin just retorted, and Fang Zhe interrupted: "Since we are not afraid, isn't it good for us to release Huami before iphone5s? With fingerprint recognition technology, Huami must Can be an instant hit!"
"Are you really not worried?" Lei asked.
"What are you worried about?" Fang Zhe asked back.
Mr. Lei looked at Lin Xiaobin, and Lin Xiaobin explained: "We are far from Apple in terms of strength, from resources to capital, from supply chain to technology patents. If Apple goes against us, the domestic situation may be better, but overseas has just opened up. Situation, I'm afraid..."
Mr. Lei also said with a worried interface: "If Apple and its suppliers pressure us, or use technology patents and laws to block us overseas, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to parry, and this time you are at odds with that David, I am afraid it will affect To your relationship between Huizhong and Apple."
Fang Zhe stretched out his hands, stood up and sat down on the sofa with the two of them in turn, saying: "I found that your two bosses became more courageous and smaller. Apple is a giant. Am I not a giant?"
Fang Zhe’s rhetorical question surprised the two of Lei. Yeah, with Huizhong’s valuation of 350 billion U.S. dollars, it can rank among the top four among global IT companies. Even though Apple is a behemoth, is Huizhong letting it go? A soft persimmon pinched by a person?
Fang Zhe patted the younger generation of the two with his hand and said, "If I support you, what are you afraid of?
Last time we licensed fingerprint recognition and other technology patents to Apple, we have done our best to Apple. If we resolutely gritted our teeth and did not let go, who knows what iPhone 5s it looks like today.
We have already given it one time, so this time we must not give it anymore. If we give Apple every time, then we will be more and more squeezed by it as a soft persimmon in the future. Our original intention of starting Xiaomi was to make a good mobile phone, not In order for Apple to make a good mobile phone.
Since Xiaomi has grown up, its competitors are not limited to domestic companies such as Huawei and Oppo.
In overseas markets, Samsung and Apple are the two main competitors that Xiaomi will face in the future. We are now making concessions to Apple, which is tantamount to assisting our opponents."
