Su Wu never imagined that his desperate act would provoke such a strong reaction from so many people.
After half a month of effort, the company has achieved very little.
The reason is simple: none of those foreigners were interested in Longyao phones; they wouldn't even give them a chance to talk.
Upon receiving the news, Su Wu had no choice but to take action personally.
Right now, the one he's most confident about is undoubtedly Meikuzi.
This little yandere is quite capable, especially considering the family behind her.
Of course, Su Wu has also demonstrated sufficient value in past collaborations.
Nowadays, Japan has many mobile phone brands, which are popular in the country.
Su Wu's first thought was Niso Ericsson.
Although this mobile phone brand will soon lose its competitiveness, it currently has a considerable market share in China.
If a partnership can be established, the sales volume of Longyao phones could at least double.
So, Su Wu called Mei Kuzi late at night.
"Lord Su Wu, you haven't contacted Mei Kuzi in a long time. I want to be frank with you!"
"Damn it! I have important business to attend to, we'll talk about the rest later!"
After firmly rejecting Mikuko's requests regarding certain bad habits, he got down to business.
"Mikuko, I have a very tricky matter I need your help with."
311 Collaboration with Ericsson
For Mei Kuzi, Su Wu was a god.
Upon hearing that Su Wu had a favor to ask, she instantly perked up.
"Lord Su Wu, please tell me what you need. Mei Kuzi will definitely find a way to make it happen. Even having babies is no problem!"
God, you're going to give birth to a monkey!
Upon hearing this, Su Wu couldn't help but touch his forehead; happiness had come too suddenly.
He immediately regained his serious expression, "I've started a mobile phone brand, but the sales aren't satisfactory. I'd like to collaborate with a well-known brand from your area."
Upon hearing this, Meikuzi blinked her big eyes and bit her finger, lost in thought.
After a moment, she tentatively asked, "Do you have a favorite brand?"
"Let's choose Ericsson."
"Ericsson, we can still talk about it, but could I know your general plans?"
"The plan isn't actually that complicated. I want to launch a co-branded phone with them and sell it here..."
Su Wu's plan, as he said, was actually not that complicated.
Although direct collaborations between brands are not common nowadays, they are not entirely unheard of.
He wanted to boost the brand awareness of Longyao mobile phones and build consumer recognition through the collaboration.
After some explanation, Meikuzi finally understood his idea.
"Oh, I see. That's not too complicated. I can give it a try."
"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news."
Ignoring Meikuzi's flirtatious poses in front of the camera, Su Wu decisively ended the call.
He had no interest in things that he could only watch helplessly; it was a complete waste of his energy.
In his view, the cooperation with Ericsson was not complicated; it was simply a matter of paying a licensing fee.
Ericsson is indeed a very good mobile phone brand, but unfortunately its fate is determined by its chips.
Since it did not produce chips itself, the company was acquired by Japan in October 2001 after the chip supply chain was disrupted.
Su Wu still harbored some resentment about this.
He was reborn in July 2001, and had no chance to deal with such an international company.
Moreover, he hadn't considered this issue at the time; otherwise, he might have avoided many detours.
However, this is just one of the more tortuous paths he has taken; in the future, chips will be the key to success or failure.
Ericsson and many other mobile phone brands gradually faded from the historical stage after the rise of smartphones.
All of this is because they haven't achieved outstanding results in the field of chips.
A few days later, Su Wu received a message from Mei Kuzi, but the result was somewhat unexpected.
Ericsson neither refused nor agreed; they put forward a condition.
This condition fully demonstrates the arrogance and rudeness of the people of Japan.
They actually proposed to acquire 30% of the shares in Su Wu's company as the basis for cooperation.
What's even more infuriating is that they made these demands without even knowing which company they were supposed to be working with.
Their goal was obvious: to use their superior strength to eventually take over the company in Su Wu's hands.
Su Wu truly hadn't expected the other party to be so arrogant.
Upon seeing these conditions, his immediate reaction was that he would never agree.
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Meikuzi felt a little embarrassed and began to explain.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Su Wu. To secure the cooperation, I told them your mobile phone company was financially strong and the most promising mobile phone company in the Dragon Kingdom, but then they..."
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Su Wu's eyes.
He had no intention of letting Longyao Mobile Company go and cooperate with the other party.
His plan was for the superconducting mobile phone company to cooperate with the other party.
Thinking of this, Su Wu's expression gradually softened, and he even showed a hint of amusement.
These petty swindlers are making all sorts of calculations, so he might as well go with the flow.
The company that acquired Superconductor was Ruyang Electronics, not Longyao Mobile.
For Su Wu, the superconducting company was just a burden and of little use.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to use it to lure Ericsson, that upturned little fish.
Feeling much better, Su Wu slowly spoke.
“I can agree to their conditions, but I have one condition: I need to obtain their joint license so that it can be used on other companies’ products.”
