Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 1813 It won’t work here

"Manager Wan! Let's not discuss Lei Feng's issue anymore, let's continue discussing cooperation."

Wan Feng nodded: "No problem, since Motorola allows us to use your brand, then please state your conditions!"

"Don't you need to hold a negotiation meeting? Or do you need to hold a board meeting?"

"Haha! We're not a listed company. There's no need for a board meeting or a negotiation meeting. The company is mine and I have the final say. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

In that case, Hao Jing turned around and chatted with Cruise again.

"Manager Wan! Mr. Cruise's idea is this: you can use the Motorola brand on your products, and we'll split the profits 50-50."

Wan Feng asked expressionlessly, "That's it?"

Hao Jing whispered with Cruise for a while.

"And Huaguang's technology will be shared with Motorola."

Wan Feng thought for a moment and asked a question: "Ms. Hao, can you ask Cruise if Motorola can share its latest technology with us?"

Wan Feng didn't need Hao Jing to answer because he could see it from Cruise's expression.

Cruise's expression was one of arrogance and contempt.

Just as Hao Jing was about to speak, Wan Feng raised his hand to stop her: "Ms. Hao! Where were you from before you immigrated?"

"I'm from Shanghai."

“What year did you immigrate?”

"In 1984, I was the first to leave, and then my family brought the whole family out. Last year, I was assigned to Xianggang by the company as the assistant general manager of the Asia region."

This woman is not simple. A Chinese has risen to the position of assistant to the president of Asia in just four or five years. How did she do it?

"Ms. Hao, this trip is like returning to your hometown. What do you think of the appearance of your hometown?"

"Mr. Wan! Shouldn't we continue discussing cooperation?"

"Haha! No rush! Chatting is nice too. It's not easy to meet someone who immigrated abroad."

"Mr. Wan! I want to remind you, don't think you can get any benefits by having a relationship with me. We each serve our own masters."

Wan Feng nodded. "Ms. Hao! I think you misunderstood. The reason I chose to chat with you here is because I can't kick you out! That would make our country, known as a country of etiquette, look petty and impolite. Do you understand?"

It is said that Motorola is well-known in the industry for its arrogance and pride. It was eventually split up and became mediocre because of its arrogance and pride.

As the inventor of the mobile phone, Motorola's eventual decline was unexpected by many people.

Even Wan Feng is now very puzzled by Motorola's rapid decline.

When mobile phones were popular around the world, Motorola's mobile phone division was the most powerful department of Motorola, and they made astronomical amounts of money.

Employees in the mobile phone department receive astronomical bonuses at the end of the year and can buy luxury houses and cars.

The rest of the departments can only watch with envy.

This led to tribal warfare within Motorola and also laid the groundwork for the company's future separation.

Take their cooperation terms just now for example. I will give you half of the profits just by using your name. There is an air of arrogance everywhere.

How much do you really think the Motorola brand is worth in China?

It is undeniable that Motorola became a world-famous brand at that time because of the emergence of mobile phones, but this brand effect was nothing in China.

Because in this era, Chinese people don’t take brands too seriously. In the eyes of Chinese people, foreign brands are all similar and the distinctions between them are not very clear anyway.

There are still many people who think that Motorola only makes motorcycles.

In this context, what's the point of having your brand? By the time Chinese people truly realize the value of your brand, Wanfeng's own brand will have already become well-known. Why should I give you half of the profits?

There is also the issue of technology sharing. You can share my technology, but you shake your head at your technology. Is this also called sharing?

Does Cruise have any misunderstanding about the word sharing?

"Mr. Wan! Are you saying you are not going to cooperate with our Motorola company?"

Wan Feng smiled and said, "Ms. Hao! Do you think this is cooperation? Perhaps foreign companies are used to the super-national treatment they receive in China and think everything should revolve around them. I can't control other places. But that's not the case here. Tell Cruise that if you want cooperation, Huaguang should be the main focus, with Motorola as a supplement. If you want to share technology, show your sincerity and don't come here with a sour face. Huaguang doesn't owe anyone anything. I'm done. You can translate it for your boss."

Hao Jing pondered for a long time and began to translate Wan Feng's words to Cruise in a tactful way.

Her English is so bad that it took Hao Jing more than a minute to translate just a few sentences.

This kind of rubbish language has become the world's common language. The right to speak is really important.

After Cruz understood Wan Feng's meaning, his face turned obviously ugly and even his breathing became rapid.

Wan Feng shook his head secretly, and was certain that Cruz must have been promoted to this position through connections.

He is in his thirties and sits in this position, yet he shows his emotions on his face. If he is not a fool, then what is he?

Cruise spoke rapidly, almost at the speed of a machine gun, and his body movements showed confusion and anger.

"Mr. Wan! Mr. Cruise's point is that cooperating with a major international company like Motorola would bring you endless benefits. He doesn't understand why you would refuse. What qualifications does Huaguang have to have Motorola as a subsidiary? Also, aren't you afraid of the consequences of offending a company like Motorola?"

"Ms. Hao! You were born and raised in China, and later embraced American culture. Do you consider the terms you're proposing to be cooperation? Is this fair cooperation? You may think this is natural, but I don't think so. Our company doesn't have such rules. Also, do I understand Mr. Cruise's last words to be a threat?"

Look at the behavior of these orcs, they are still using the law of the jungle. His suggestions are well-intentioned, and if you refuse, it means you are wrong, and then they threaten you.

What the hell!

They all died early in the morning.

"Mr. Wan..."

"Ms. Hao, you don't need to waste your words. If you want to cooperate, let Motorola show its real technology. If everyone is open and honest, we can consider cooperating in some areas. If that is not possible, please leave."

At this time, the official from Bohai City spoke up: "Manager Wan, you should be polite to foreign businessmen. After all, they are guests."

"Comrade Zhang, I think I'm very polite. It's rare that I can talk to them calmly."

Cruz stood up angrily, turned around and walked out.

Hao Jing looked at Wan Feng with complicated eyes and followed him out hurriedly.

Wan Feng still escorted the three officials out the door, of course, and as for the foreigners, it was up to them to do whatever they wanted.
