This made Paulson suspect for a while that Qi Lei knew that Desheng had summoned those reporters in China, and now he was angry.
Manager Wen confirmed this guess.
"Qi is really unhappy."
"Mr. President, I have to remind you that he is an extremely smart little bastard!"
"The reaction from China's public opinion was earlier and more violent than that of the United States, which is enough to make him suspicious and even alert."
"Don't forget, one of his partners, Sam Brown and Byron August, were kicked out of ARM by us."
"So, they are full of hatred in their eyes. This may affect Qi Lei's judgment and misunderstand us."
Hearing Manager Wen's analysis, Paulson couldn't help feeling annoyed, "Perhaps... our probing behavior seems a bit intense to Qi."
Paulson is worried, are the Chinese so timid?Scared away?
Manager Wen's hesitation on the other end of the phone made it easy for Paulson to figure out that Peter Wen should have some good suggestions.
So, without much thought, "Pete, do you have any ideas? I need your help."
Manager Wen pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Mr. President, I think the current situation is not good for us."
Paulson, "Say your analysis."
Manager Wen, "Although we have reached agreements with Merrill Lynch, Morgan and others, as you know, verbal agreements are of no value."
Paulson was startled, and his mood finally had some turmoil, "You mean, Merrill Lynch and Morgan might poach our corners?"
Manager Wen, "This possibility is very high!"
"First, despite the agreement, there is a concerted effort to suppress the rise of Silicon Valley."
"However, a business is a business, and after all, there is a distribution of benefits. And this time we are leading the cooperation with Sanshi, and we are undoubtedly the ones who benefit the most!"
Manager Wen paused, and continued: "If it's the cooperation between the original system and Penguin Software, the other companies might not care too much."
"But now..." He lowered his voice, "Sanshi's smartphone project has been confirmed!"
Hearing this, Paulson became completely serious.
Yes, before it was just the cooperation of system software and communication software.Even if the prospects are good, the benefits are not that great.
But now... Paulson knew that Manager Wen wasn't trying to scare him.
"Go on!"
Manager Wen, "I think it is necessary to be vigilant against the poaching behavior of several other companies."
"Especially Qi himself, and his company members are full of distrust of Desheng."
Paulson, "I understand what you mean. We must take the initiative to bring Qi back to Desheng's negotiating table."
"Peter, your abilities are getting more and more sophisticated."
"Now, tell me, you already have a plan, don't you? Should I send you back to China to fight for Qi?"
The candidate Paulson can think of now is Manager Wen, who still has a certain friendship with Qi Lei.
It's a pity that he underestimated Pittwen too much. This guy is a ghost. While doing nothing about human affairs, he has to keep himself out of danger forever.
Therefore, he didn't want to claim the credit, if something happened to Qi Lei, it would be bad if he was involved too.
Besides, Manager Wen has another suitable candidate.
"No, Mr. President, I may not be of much use when I return to China, but I can recommend someone for you."
"Who?"
The first thing Paulson thought of was Jaquil. Desheng had contact with Qi Lei, except for Manager Wen, it was Jaquil.
But he never expected that Manager Wen would announce a name that even surprised him, "Warren Aite!"
Paulson froze for a moment, and was immediately pleasantly surprised, "God, this is a wonderful candidate!"
How had he not thought of Warren?
That is a puppet president who is completely controlled by Desheng and will be very obedient.Moreover, he has a strong desire to cooperate with Sanshi Company.
At the same time, he has a very good personal relationship with Qi Lei, Byron, and Sam.
"That's a great idea, I'll be talking to Warren myself!"
In this way, Warren was still on the plane flying to the United States. With the help of Manager Wen, he turned around and had to go to China.
So the question is, is it a good thing for Warren to come to China?
Hehe, of course it is a good thing!Great job! !
As long as he can come, the whole situation will be clear.
Including, future cooperation negotiations with Desheng.
Warren first flew to Hong Kong, then entered customs from Hong Kong, and then flew from Shenzhen to Hainan.
Qi Lei personally went to the airport to pick him up.
At the exit, Qi Lei took a quick look at the tall Warren.
Seeing that he was alone, he couldn't help teasing, "You came alone? It seems that Desheng doesn't take it seriously!"
Warren smiled, "They paid too much attention to it! In order to please you, they even left Jaquil in the UK and authorized me to handle it with full authority."
"Ha!!" Qi Lei laughed loudly, "Pete has done a good job again."
Help Warren with his luggage and leave the airport together.
Warren couldn't wait, "Where is the progress?"
Qi Lei, "Don't you know by seeing it with your own eyes?"
"Just right, the initial design of the smart phone still needs some professional advice from you."
Warren was excited, "Really? I can participate?"
"of course."
Well, Paulson is not here, otherwise he would vomit three liters of blood.
Where is this the messenger he sent?This simply means that the underground party has returned to Yan'an - it's home!
And after Warren really participated in the smartphone project, he had to marvel, "Britain is hopeless!"
As a Briton, Warren is also a patriot. He deeply knows that it is difficult for Britain, which has been caught in the trap of the United States, to rise again.
The future belongs to the Chinese.
……
Sam was in a good mood after Warren arrived.
Because he seemed to be able to see that Qi Lei didn't seem to have the idea of letting Warren take charge of the smartphone project, and never mentioned this matter.
Warren also seemed to see that Qi Lei didn't want him to participate, so he wisely didn't mention it.
And Sam also learned from Uncle Geng that Mr. Nan recommended him and thought he was the most suitable candidate.
This made Sam grateful and excited at the same time.
Although it has not been officially determined, but so far, he is undoubtedly the most promising candidate.
Well, Warren is an ARM person, why should he preside over the project of Sanshi Company?
He's an outsider, okay?I am my own person!
What made Sam even more excited was that a week later, under Warren's "efforts", Qi Lei finally decided to return to the United States and continue negotiations with Desheng.
(Actually, the PPT required for negotiation is almost ready.)
This time, Qi Lei didn't go with Xiao Ma.
"Pack up and prepare me and go to America."
Sam: "!!!"
To the United States?This is great news!
What does it mean?
Explain that Qi Lei has acquiesced, he is the person in charge of the smartphone project, so he is needed to go with him.
"You don't need to clean up, you can go at any time!"
Qi Lei saw that this guy couldn't wait anymore?
His face was distorted, "Sam, actually..."
"Actually what?"
Qi Lei, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we come back!"
He couldn't bear to tell him.
……
……
Returning to the United States for the second time, I have a different state of mind.
The last time I came, no matter how well prepared I was, I was somewhat confused and timid.
But this time, it was completely different, because I had a bottom line in my heart.
In other words, in fact, people are not really afraid of the dark, but they are afraid of the darkness in an unfamiliar environment.
At least this time, Qi Lei knew what he was going to do and how the negotiation would develop.
And for these, I have to thank Warren and Lao Qin.
From outsider to insider, Warren opened things up in different directions.
And Lao Qin gave Qi Lei confidence.
……
On the second day after arriving, Paulson, the president of Desheng, met with Qi Lei in Seattle, without procrastinating at all.
There is no clear negotiating table, and no negotiating team in suits and leather shoes.
The first time the two met was in Qi Lei's hotel suite, it was very casual.
However, from time to time, Paulson would sneak a few glances at the oriental boy in front of him, and from time to time think of the advice Pitvin and Warren gave him before coming.
"That's an extremely cunning guy. If you treat him as a 20-year-old young man, you will definitely suffer!"
Although nothing special can be seen so far, Paulson has become vigilant and is looking forward to what tricks this oriental boy can use.
But at this moment, Paulson thinks that he and Qi Lei should have entered a state where the enemy can't move, and I can't move.
Neither broke the deadlock first.
Qi Lei seemed to be enjoying life very much, looking out the window with a smile on his face, looking at Seattle in the rain.
This made Paulson a little amused. Faced with such an atmosphere, no one had the heart to watch the scenery. This kid was just putting on airs on purpose.
Well then, Paulson will accompany him and see who can survive who!
……
The rain in Seattle is famous all over the world.
Not far below the hotel where Qi Lei is located is the filming location of Sleepless in Seattle.
Although Qi Lei doesn't like America at all and is full of hostility, it doesn't prevent him from liking an American movie.
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan performed a fascinating love.
Sitting on the sofa, holding the misty hot coffee, recalling the plot in the movie, Qi Lei really enjoyed this rare leisure.
Can't help but think, it would be great if Xu Xiaoqian was here.
Because that was one of her favorite movies.
Finally, Qi Lei, who recovered from his own small world, spoke first, "Mr. Paulson, can you see Sanshi's branch in the United States?"
Paulson raised his eyebrows, "..."
For a moment, he almost stopped talking.
