branch?Where is the branch from?The horoscope has not been written yet!
However, he did ask the right question.
Moreover, Paulson liked Qi Lei's directness very much, and smiled lightly, "pointing to an office building under construction in the corner of the bay."
"I like the scenery there, and I have already bought it. If Mr. Qi is willing, I think it is a good choice."
Qi Lei stared at it for a while, "It's really good, I like it very much."
Paulson, "My pleasure!"
Standing up and coming to the window, he seemed to be pointing the country, "I think it's just a Sanshi company, it's not enough."
"We can build a new center of the electronics industry around Sanshi and create a new Silicon Valley! What do you think?"
Paulson strolled around the courtyard. On Wall Street, he has experienced countless negotiations, and he has never had an opponent who can get a bargain at his negotiating table.
He felt that both Pete and Warren were making a fuss.
This oriental boy is indeed different, but that's all. Paulson has enough confidence to deal with him.
At this time, Qi Lei also stood up and came to Paulson's side, appreciating Paulson's remarks and that area.
He opened the mouth and said, "I'm not good at real estate, and this requires your planning."
Paulson nodded silently.
The scene suddenly quieted down, and Qi Lei seemed to fall into that annoying narcissism again.
After a while, Paulson suddenly laughed, and this time he took the initiative.
"Peter is right, you are a smart partner and never play your cards according to common sense."
Turning to look at Qi Lei, "Okay, young man! I have to admit, you disrupted my rhythm."
Paulson is a bit humble, true or false.
In the end, Qi Lei bared his teeth and smiled without any modesty, "You gave me a chance."
"..."
Reluctantly, Paulson asked, "How did you find out that I have already selected a location for Three Stone Company?"
"This was originally a bargaining chip I used to express my sincerity in cooperation, but now it seems... useless."
Qi Lei also laughed, and replied: "If we want to develop the IT industry, we can't do it on the east coast. After all, Silicon Valley is the center of the US IT industry. The supporting talents, production capacity, industry associations, etc. here are indispensable. "
"Seattle is a good place. It is not far from Silicon Valley, and it is also very close to several well-known universities and laboratories in the United States. It is the best choice."
"And you set the venue for the negotiation in Seattle. If this is unexpected, I don't think I deserve to stand here."
Paulson looked at Qi Lei in surprise, "What a powerful young man!" he joked, "I think I should pay more attention, otherwise I will suffer!"
And Qi Lei's next words directly let Paulson, who played his cards according to the rules, break through the defense.
"Mr. Paulson!"
Qi Lei stopped looking out the window, and looked directly at Paulson, "I'm a young man who likes to be more straightforward."
"So, can you be more honest?"
Paulson raised his eyebrows, "Qi, are you doubting Desheng's sincerity? I also like directness."
Qi Lei, "No! No doubt at all."
Paulson: "Then you mean..."
Qi Lei, "First, Sanshi can jointly develop the overseas version of the Pangu operating system with Desheng and share benefits. However, in order to ensure the control of software development, we need a majority stake."
Paulson, "..."
It was completely unexpected that Qi Lei's so-called directness would be so direct.
Unfortunately, it's not over yet! !
"Second, Penguin needs to be listed in North America and obtain a license to enter the US market."
"Moreover, Penguin's financing must be completed by me. To be honest, I am very optimistic about Penguin's profitability. I don't want to give this income to anyone, including Desheng."
"Of course, how to enter North America, and what restrictions does the US government have. You can mention this, and I will try my best to meet it."
"In a word, I'm here to make money, and I'm not interested in controlling American online public opinion."
Paulson, "..."
Qi Lei, "It's still the smartphone project."
"I think Warren should have told you about the situation in China. Now, I am more confident than ever!"
"However, in order to show sincerity, I can transfer more shares and control rights than the system in this project."
"The above three points are the purpose of my coming to the United States."
"Now..." Paulson looked in a daze with piercing eyes, "It's your turn."
It means that there are so many conditions for me, see if you can accept it, now you can talk about what conditions you have.
Paulson, "..."
So direct!Straight to the point where he couldn't stand it anymore.
Annoyed and careless, Pete and Warren clearly reminded him that he had passed.
However, Paulson was experienced in many battles after all, so this situation couldn't help him at all, so he adjusted immediately.
What's more, it feels fresh. This is the first time I have encountered such a straightforward way of negotiating.
"Qi, you gave me another surprise."
"So, let me also talk about my conditions?"
Qi Lei, "All ears."
……
Chapter 443
Right next door to Qi Lei and Paulson.
Brother Xiaoma, Sam, Warren, Manager Wen and Junior Jaquil, the five stared at each other, wondering what was going on next door.
However, due to the presence of Jaquil, an outsider, the other four have to behave distinctly and oppose each other.
To be honest, it was quite tiring.
In the end, Jaquil was a young man after all, and he couldn't bear this oppressive atmosphere.
First, he winked at Manager Wen, meaning:
I'm going out to get some air, you stare at that Chinese, I'll change you later!
Manager Wen frowned at first, obviously dissatisfied with Jaquil's restless behavior, but finally nodded and winked.
"Don't go too far."
And just like that, Jaquil finally got out.
The moment he closed the door, the other four in the room almost collapsed and relaxed.
After a while, Sam broke the silence, "What do you think Qi will say to Paulson?"
Brother Xiao Ma, "I don't know! But, that old boy should not be able to play against Qi Lei."
In this regard, Manager Wen nodded with deep satisfaction.He has experienced it countless times, and it is unbearable to look back!
"What about you?" Sam asked Warren.
Warren smiled and said, "I guess Paulson should be asking for conditions."
When Manager Wen heard it, "So fast? No way?"
When meeting for the first time, Paulson would not be so rash.
Unfortunately, Warren did not defend.
It was already clear that Qi Lei would not entangle Paulson at all, and told Warren last night, "Go in and show your cards, I am familiar with this trick!"
Well, it is indeed cooked.
This is true for ARM, and it is also true for Guge, and now it is Desheng's turn.
Therefore, Warren's words are no longer speculations, but Qi Lei told him in advance.
Next door, Paulson was indeed raising conditions, and he was as direct as Qi Lei.
"Mr. Qi, I think we can meet your three requirements."
"However, since the words have been clarified, there is nothing that cannot be said. These three requirements require prerequisites."
Qi Lei, "Everyone understands, Mr. Paulson, you can speak directly."
"Ok."
Paulson found it more and more interesting. Communicating with this Chinese boy gave him a completely different feeling.
Publicity, straightforwardness, and no sloppiness, are very suitable for his age.
It even made Paulson feel younger.
"First, the Pangu system."
"Desheng requests that Sanshi Company is not allowed to cooperate with Silicon Valley companies, let alone accept financing, whether it is now or in the future."
Qi Lei raised his eyebrows, "Is Mr. Paulson going to completely abandon Silicon Valley? This will make the company's operations difficult."
If you want to develop software in the United States, you can't get around Silicon Valley.
But he didn't want to, Paulson smiled, "I think Mr. Qi has the ability to face challenges."
Qi Lei, "But it depends on whether there are enough chips."
Paulson, "You can rest assured that Desheng has reached an agreement with nine investment banks including Merrill Lynch and Morgan, and we will jointly inject capital. Therefore, no matter how many shares Mr. Qi is willing to take, he will receive sufficient financial support."
"Including, the contacts on Wall Street."
Qi Lei shook his head, "No, no, you didn't understand what I meant! Bypassing Silicon Valley, we are not only facing financial pressure."
"What's more important is the pressure on technology, management model, and network containment."
"Do you understand?"
Paulson, "Understood."
"But isn't that what we want?"
"!!!"
Qi Lei froze for a moment, and instantly became transparent.
I screamed in my heart, it's cruel enough! !
What Paulson wants is confrontation, that is, complete insulation and complete opposition.
He wants to set off a war in the IT industry in the United States and truly lure wolves into the market, completely ignoring the prospects of the US Internet and computer industry.
Qi Lei never expected that Paulson would have such an idea, disregarding the interests of the United States.
However, at this moment, Qi Lei suddenly came to his senses.
I made a mistake, and I was in a hurry.
Why do you say that?Because he just thinks that Paulson is betraying the national interest and attracting a Chinese company to disrupt the US IT industry.
This was 2002, even if the importance of the IT industry was revealed, but before the mobile Internet, it was just like that, and people probably didn't think that breaking it was such a prodigal.
It's just me, because I have seen the situation in the afterlife, so I naturally think it is very important.
As a result, Qi Lei was thinking, Paulson's next sentence subverted Qi Lei's cognition again.
He was wrong again!
It's not that Paulson got carried away and didn't know the importance of the IT industry, but... what matters is the IT industry, not Silicon Valley.
Paulson, "Qi, the system business, I can give you a profit."
