Chapter 787 [Remote Video Cloud Negotiation]
In the afternoon, Luo Sheng was here alone in the empty living room. After receiving his authorization, Xiaona connected the video signal to a display screen in the living room.
But for a moment, an instant video of Steve Molenkopf, the then-head of Qualcomm, appeared on the screen, sitting in his office.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Luo, I hope my presumptuous communication request failed to disturb you..."
Molenkopf came up and greeted him actively, and the momentum in his words had softened three points. You should know that the people of Magnesium have always been arrogant.
However, the person he faces is Luo Sheng. With his achievements and influence today, the head of any multinational giant in the world has restrained his points when facing him, even Larry Ellison, who is very jumping, but not stupid.
What kind of attitude to show one's presence depends on the other party's strength.
"It's okay, I'm free now anyway. But Mr. Molenkov, you haven't gotten off work yet. It's quite surprising to call me at this time." Luo Sheng said with a smile. The so-called "to stretch out your hand and not hit people with a smiley face, let alone Luo Sheng is a Chinese man who has not come up and hit people in the face.
At the other end of the signal, Molenkopf was already cursing in his heart when he heard this. Luo Sheng's words seemed nothing wrong, like a chat between an old friend, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand the pride and look down.
After all, on the one hand, we call us in the middle of the night to show that we have something to ask for, and on the other hand, we have nothing to do, so it is clear which side is at the advantage of both sides.
The fights between the big guys are silent.
After a few greetings, Luo Sheng asked bluntly with a calm voice: "I wonder what happened to Mr. Molenkopf's late-night visit?"
I had already made an appointment with a young lady to have a spa this afternoon. As time goes by, I guess I'm waiting in the next room.
Molenkopf asked back, "Mr. Luo, I wonder if you watched yesterday's hearing?"
"Hearing? Oh, I just watched it." Luo Sheng nodded and smiled, "I heard you talk about this, I think I should say thank you for the trust Qualcomm has in my company."
Molenkopf laughed and said, "Haha, this is nothing. Trust is the basis for the two sides to establish a consensus on cooperation, isn't it?"
When he heard the other party raise the hearing, Luo Sheng knew what the head of Qualcomm was making. If nothing unexpected happens, this is laying the foundation for what he wants to say later.
Look, I, Qualcomm, are so righteous, and I can’t do anything unrighteous.
But Luo Sheng would not appreciate it at all, because stealing the so-called American technology company's technology is a fictitious thing, and his own technology is more advanced than the other party, which is not valid at all.
As expected, Molenkopf immediately said: "Mr. Luo, the cooperation between Qualcomm and the Coast of Azure has been more than ten years. We have been working together tacitly and sincerely, but why do you want to hand over the communication baseband supply rights of Azure-5X mobile phones to Huawei?"
The previous preparation is for this sentence. The implication is that you, the Costa à lao is too unauthentic. I have protected you in various ways at the hearing there. If you, the Costa à lao, you, abandoned your partners for more than ten years and turned to get along with others. You are like a "scrap".
Luo Sheng asked back: "Of course I wouldn't doubt Mr. Molenkopf, who has had a sincere cooperation and long-term friendship between the Costa del Azure and Qualcomm for more than ten years, but the cooperation between the two sides is based on stability. Can I, can Qualcomm? I guess if you don't talk about the next five to ten years, can you ensure that you can supply me stably in the short term in the next one to two years?"
"this……"
Molenkopf was speechless for a moment, and he didn't dare to say things to make promises, because Qualcomm really couldn't decide on this issue. He had to understand the baby's face. If the baby signed the ban, Qualcomm would also have to abide by the administrative instructions.
"But we have been fighting for it, and you have also seen that not only Qualcomm, but most of the Silicon Valley technology giants are opposed to decoupling from you." Moronkopf said.
"To be honest, I am not optimistic about the future international situation, and I don't like the unstable factors." Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked at the image on the display screen and added: "Mr. Molenkopf, your people in power want to decouple from me, and now I actually want to decouple."
When he heard this, Molenkopv'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 he is really confident. Now he really needs technology, funds, and markets. No one party will be afraid of anything.
After a moment, Luo Sheng continued: "The Costa del Sur has nearly one million employees. They and their families have to eat and work. The company's partners need profits and a stable environment. That is the livelihood of millions of people. I have to take the responsibility for them."
Finally, Luo Sheng simply said: "So the conclusion is very obvious. Regardless of whether Qualcomm can really provide me with stable supply in the next one or two years, the cooperation with Huawei will not change. Moreover, as early as 2004, when I and Huawei jointly established Lens Semiconductor, the two parties had signed a strategic contract. As long as Huawei can achieve world-class standards on communication baseband chips, it will be the baseband provider of my Costa delta products."
Molenkopf was secretly shocked when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard such a secret. Since the other party said it calmly, it proved that it was really successful, which means that Qualcomm is no longer an irreplaceable role in Azure mobile phone baseband chips.
What really shocked him was that the other party had already started planning in 2004. How terrifying is this strategic forward-looking?
Did he...hat he expected this situation to happen today?
Molenkopf did not conduct psychological activities for too long. He put away his thoughts and asked quickly: "Mr. Luo, has the fifteen-year cooperative friendship between us ended?"
He didn't want to say such a bit of humiliating words, but the popularity of 5G technology has fallen behind. In order to ensure that Qualcomm, the world's largest customer, is something that Qualcomm must not lose.
If there is one or two, you will lose other customers one after another. At least other smartphone manufacturers in the Greater China market are at risk of losing, which is a fatal blow to Qualcomm.
You should know that the place with the most smartphone manufacturers in the world is China, and it is also the largest consumer market for smartphones. Not to mention the Costa del Blue, it is sold globally. Another major customer, Xiao Mi, has also expanded in the sub-continental market, and its cost-effectiveness is very popular among local users.
Losing customers in the Greater China market means that another market with a population of more than 1 billion will be lost indirectly. Qualcomm really can't afford to lose.
When Molenkopf said something stingy and aggrieved, Luo Sheng smiled in a playful way in the face of the crocodile's tears: "NO!NO!NO!Moren, the Costa del Blue has always emphasized that we like to make friends. Whether it is friends from the East or the West, I am willing to make friends, and I am willing to make friends, and the more the more the better."
Molenkopf rolled his eyes in his heart and cursed secretly: "Damn it, come on this again..."
The Cell chip incident to Sony suddenly appeared before my eyes, as if it had reappeared yesterday, and it was vivid in my mind.
Sony was already fainted from crying in the toilet. When he thought of his contribution to a great power, he created a strong competitor in the home console market and became an international laughing stock twice in a row. When he thought of this, Sony wanted to slap himself a few times.
For some reason, when he saw Luo Sheng in the real-time video saying this with a sunny smile, Molenkopf immediately became extremely alert, fearing that he would be tricked.
The more Luo Sheng showed harmless appearance of humans and animals, the more Molenkopf was extremely weak from the bottom of his heart.
He has not forgotten those who were killed by Luo Sheng. They were killed one after another. Not to mention Sony and the subprime mortgage crisis, the last time he was killed on a large scale was the group of people on Wall Street. A wave of Blue Star Technology call options once again harvested a wave of Wall Street.
Molenkopf knew very well and did not forget that Qualcomm was once one of the victims, and he could not escape the disaster. The bet agreement between carelessness and the Costa delle was killed.
When cooperating with this person, you must be careful, be careful, because you may jump into the trap set by the other party by accident. Maybe he will be sold by him and help him count the money happily.
The head of Qualcomm said it was too difficult in his heart at this moment.
After a while, Molenkopf put away the unbearable past events and asked curiously: "Why don't Mr. Luo plan to maintain our friendship?"
Chapter completed!
