rebirth of cataclysm

Obviously, the commercial market group does not have the spirit of equal cooperation.

In other words, the commercial market group looks down on Pengbo Electronics and does not take them seriously, so it is so big.

With the other party's attitude, Luo Guancong's mission was naturally not accomplished. However, he did not give up and kept trying to get in touch with higher-level executives of the commercial market group. This aspect is related to Luo Guancong's professional quality. After all, the American market is really

Very important. On the other hand, it also had something to do with Hu Mingchen's attitude towards him. Although Hu Mingchen's words that day were softened by him, they still caused a lot of irritation to Luo Guancong.

Hu Mingchen is much younger than Luo Guancong, and Luo Guancong cannot accept being looked down upon by such a person. So he especially wants to achieve results to prove his ability. Even if he leaves Pengbo Electronics in the future, he cannot leave with humiliation.

However, no matter what method Luo Guancong used, no matter how many calls he made and how many emails he sent, he could not make any progress with the Commercial Market Group. But he was not without gains. At least he verified one thing, which is why the Commercial Market Group suppressed him so much.

They really have nothing to do with Apple.

"Mr. Hu, let's give up on AT&T. It's useless here." Luo Guancong immediately called Hu Mingchen to report the situation.

"What's wrong? Are they just not going to get in? Are we giving them enough profits and they still won't do it?" Hu Mingchen sat at the desk in his room, turning a pen around in his hand and frowning.

.

Due to the time difference, it was daytime when Luo Guancong was on the phone, and it happened to be nighttime when Hu Mingchen was on the phone. Only at night could Hu Mingchen talk about things with peace of mind. He was mostly at school during the day.

Although some well-off students have begun to bring their mobile phones to campus, it is unique for Hu Mingchen to talk about work as soon as he picks up his mobile phone. So when Hu Mingchen was in school, his mobile phone was basically placed with Fang Guoping.

If there is any important information, Fang Guoping will relay it after class.

"Because someone has given them huge profits, and they still have a good personal relationship. This fortress, I am afraid we cannot break it at this stage." Luo Guancong said.

"You mean... Apple gave them a very low price?" Hu Mingchen was not a fool. When Luo Guancong said that, he thought for a moment and immediately thought of the crux of the problem.

"Mr. Hu is really smart. He thought of it all at once. I found out that not only did Apple reduce the price of the commercial market group by one hundred dollars on our basis, but the president of the commercial market group was also a good friend of Jonas.

In addition, Jonas also has a good relationship with the CEO of AT&T. Under such circumstances, the other party will not cooperate with us at all. I even think that they are delaying our time by deliberately contacting us.

Luo Guancong said.

"It's true that first comes first, and there are people in the government who can do things easily. So what should I do? Do you have any other options? I think that when you call me, you won't just tell me such a pessimistic

News." Hu Mingchen stopped the spinning pen and held it in his hand.

Hu Mingchen keenly noticed that Luo Guancong did not appear extremely depressed or overly pessimistic when faced with such desperate news.

"I do have an idea. In the Canadian market, our partner is FutureShop, and this company happened to be acquired by Best Buy, so I thought we might as well put aside AT&T and cooperate directly with Best Buy. Best Buy

It is also a giant company in the United States, and the retail of electronic products has become more and more important to them. Moreover, the president of FutureShop has promised to introduce me to the CEO of Best Buy, and I will go to Litchfield to discuss with them tomorrow."

Best Buy is headquartered in Litchfield, a small town in Minnesota. This company is one of the world's top 500 companies and its main business is retail.

In the United States, many large companies are not headquartered in big cities like New York and Los Angeles. For example, the headquarters of a cleaning company is in Cincinnati, with a population of 200,000 to 300,000, and Microsoft is headquartered in Redmond, with a population of only around 400,000.

.

"Okay, then go ahead and talk. As long as they can help those American markets, you can make appropriate concessions on certain conditions." Now that Luo Guancong has thought of an alternative, Hu Mingchen can only trust and encourage him now.

The next day, Luo Guancong flew to Litchfield non-stop. As a result, he also met its CEO Corey Barry as he wished, and the two sides had a good conversation.

At least Corey Barry was not as arrogant as the Commercial Market Group. He learned about Pengbo Electronics and asked Luo Guancong to explain the products. However, when it came to the specific level of cooperation, Corey Barry did not

Going deeper, he made a surprising request, hoping that Hu Mingchen could talk about it.

"What? You want me to go to the United States to talk?" When Luo Guancong fed back the news, Hu Mingchen was shocked.

It’s not surprising that Hu Mingchen had such a big reaction. I really couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t have much fame. Even if he was looking for a company, it would be Chen Xuesheng. How could he be named?

"Yes, that's what Mr. Barry requested."

"But...I don't understand, why should I go? He didn't say why?" Hu Mingchen was still a little confused.

"I also asked this question, but Mr. Barry did not answer. He just pointed out that the cooperation between our two companies requires your intervention before it can be finalized. Mr. Hu, how about you come to the United States."

"It's not a question of whether I can come or not. I don't even have a passport yet. By the time I get my passport and come here, I'm afraid the food will be cold." Hu Mingchen sat up straight and said.

"Then what should we do? They just pointed out that they want you to take action."

"Since they won't talk to me, then you tell them that if they are really sincere, let them fly to China, no matter which city, I can't leave the country for the time being." Hu Mingchen said.

"Let them come to China? If so, can I tell them the actual situation?" Luo Guancong asked.

"...Okay, it's up to you anyway." Hu Mingchen pondered for a moment and replied.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually agreed to Hu Mingchen's very helpless proposal. He also agreed with Luo Guancong that their negotiation team would fly to Mingzhu in three days, and Hu Mingchen could go to Mingzhu to meet with the other party.

After receiving the reply, Hu Mingchen was surprised and could only make preparations quickly. He hurriedly asked for leave from the school, and notified Chen Xuesheng, He Xin and Wu Huaisi from the company.

Originally, Chen Xuesheng planned to call people from the media and public relations department, so that once a cooperation agreement was reached, the news could be released as soon as possible for publicity.

Wu Huaisi is now also the director of the legal department of Pengbo Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., and all cooperation agreement texts must be reviewed by the legal department.

The legal department of Pengbo Electronics is not only Wu Huaisi, but also includes several professionals in the fields of international commercial law, international contract law, and international trade law. After all, Pengbo Electronics' partners now come from dozens of countries on five continents.

Wu Huaisi alone can no longer do this. Although he studied domestic law, he is still qualified to lead a legal department. At least many legal spirits are similar.

In order to show their sincerity, Hu Mingchen and the others arrived at the Pearl in advance and booked rooms at the Intercontinental Hotel. In addition, they also rented several limousines from the hotel.

When they arrived, Hu Mingchen took people to the airport to greet them in person.

This is not because Hu Mingchen wants to flatter others or flatter foreigners, but since they have designated to see him and are willing to accommodate him, flying thousands of miles from the United States to China, it is also right for Hu Mingchen to be polite and considerate.

To paraphrase our old saying, I respect others as much as they respect me.

And there is an episode here, that is, the news that Luo Guancong came back before was that it was Corey Barry who led the team to China for negotiations, but when he was about to get on the plane, he realized that it was not CEO Corey who came back.

Barry, but Richard Schultz, the company's chairman.

The boss of the company has personally come forward. It would be impossible for Hu Mingchen not to pay enough attention to it.

After receiving the guests, we just got to know each other and exchanged simple greetings at the airport. After that, the group took five cars to the hotel.

Hu Mingchen originally arranged a separate Mercedes-Benz car for Richard Schultz and his assistant. However, to everyone's surprise, he actually offered to ride in the same car with Hu Mingchen.

Schultz's proposal immediately disrupted the relevant arrangements. Hu Mingchen had no choice but to let other people give up their seats. Hu Mingchen and Schultz sat in the back row, and his assistant sat in the passenger seat. It was impossible to arrange for one more person to squeeze in.

Between Schultz and Hu Mingchen.

Fortunately, Hu Mingchen's foreign language skills were barely passable and he could handle it without a translator. Otherwise, the situation would have been very embarrassing.

As the car drove out of the Pearl International Airport, Schultz looked at the scenery outside the car window and exclaimed: "China has changed so much. When I came last time, it was still farmland, but now it has turned into a tall factory."

"Mr. Schultz has been to China?" Hu Mingchen asked following his words.

"Haha, of course, I have been to all the major economies in the world, not to mention that China is still the fastest growing and best economy. But my most recent visit was four years ago. In just four years, here

There have been earth-shaking changes," Schultz said with a smile.

"The Pearl is a microcosm of China's economy. This place represents China. Everything you see here is changing at different speeds in other provinces and other cities." Hu Mingchen accompanied him and said.

"Yes, you are right. Although I have only been to two or three cities in China, I believe what you said is true."

"Mr. Schultz, if you have the opportunity, you can visit other places in China. Every place contains huge business opportunities, and we are very welcome to all investors."
