"Actually, I've always had an inexplicable affection for Nokia, especially after seeing you, that affection has only intensified. It's as if we have a special connection. Let's drink to that connection!" Lu Feng raised his glass to Elmi.
Elmi had seen plenty of lecherous men in her life, but Lu Feng was a first for her. She picked up her glass and clinked it against Lu Feng's in a perfunctory manner.
Seeing his behavior, everyone present sneered and showed disdain. Just considering the R&D capabilities and the international reach of the company, Ericsson, Panasonic, and Toshiba were all stronger than Nokia. Why did Lu Feng ignore so many big shots and go after Nokia?
If Lu Feng is after mere beauty, it shows that this person has no future. With money, he can easily get his hands on not only beautiful women, but also handsome men.
Cai Tianlun looked at Lu Feng with a smile and said, "It's obvious that President Lu has a strong preference for beautiful women and doesn't really pay attention to us old men."
Lu Feng turned to look at him and said, "I would like to associate with you all, but you don't seem to like me. Don't blame me for being blunt, but as I just said, Motorola's market in mainland China will be handed over to me, and what I'm interested in is cooperation in research and development. This Mr. Fukuda doesn't believe me and keeps laughing at me. What can I do?"
"Why don't you say you'll bankrupt Motorola tomorrow?" Fukuda's face darkened. Lu Feng was blaming him. He said in a deep voice, "I know you a little. Any words you say should be based on the company's strength, not just something you say offhand."
Kevin remained silent, and he and Du Guoying ate in silence. It wasn't appropriate for them to speak in this kind of situation. Du Guoying didn't speak mainly because he didn't speak English, but he kept quietly observing the expressions of the people at the table.
"President Lu still hopes that everyone can have a friendly exchange. The reason I came here today is also to hope that everyone can communicate more." Kevin said to the three of them, "Jiafeng Electronics has actually created many miracles in its development to this day. President Lu's statement that we can compete with Motorola in the mainland market is not unfounded. Perhaps the product will have unexpected results after it is launched. Cooperation in other fields is also something that Jiafeng Electronics would like to see."
Kevin's words were rather tactful; he simply wanted to tell a few people that Jiafeng Electronics is a local company, a local powerhouse, and that they must have their own abilities to have come this far. That's why they're sitting here; otherwise, you wouldn't have invited them.
Cai Tianlun and his group originally wanted to call Lu Feng over and give him a chance. After all, these companies are exceptionally powerful, and countless domestic companies have tried to get in touch with them, but they have all ignored them.
However, Lu Feng acted as if he had no problem handling things, but Lu Feng had to give him a reward.
"Hmph! Hehehe..." Cai Tianlun laughed with disdain, glancing sideways at Lu Feng, and said, "Being able to sit here is a status symbol in itself. Why don't we call people from Bird? Nokia used to be a big company, and Jiafeng Electronics is a local force. Do you really think you're qualified to sit on equal footing?"
Elmi's face instantly turned ugly. She wasn't very shrewd, and everything was written on her face. For Nokia, the mainland market was less than a chicken bone. Her father sent her here just to gain seniority and slowly climb the ranks.
Facing these seasoned veterans, she didn't dare say much, fearing that she might cause trouble and attract the attention of the board of directors at headquarters. In that case, not only would she lose her job, but her father, the president, would also have to leave. Nokia was in a precarious situation at the moment, so she had to be patient.
Elmi hesitated for a moment, then picked up his wine glass and said to the three men, "I'm a young man, and I hope you seniors will give me more guidance. Nokia is facing a crisis at this time..."
Elmi tolerated it, but Lu Feng had no intention of tolerating it. He could tell that these three companies were just missing a lackey to lead the charge. After sitting for more than an hour, he spoke with an air of arrogance. They had just discussed the market counterattack against Motorola and proposed a price alliance, with the companies present implementing tiered pricing.
They set their prices higher, creating a price matrix across various products to squeeze the competitor's market share from all angles, and they hope that Jiafeng Electronics will heed this advice.
Lu Feng reached out and shoved the wine glass that Elmi had raised to the ground, interrupting their conversation. He glared at the three of them angrily and said in a deep voice, "Bullshit!"
Everyone present was stunned by these words. Kevin was even more shocked, never expecting Lu Feng to actually start cursing. This was something no one present dared to imagine. You know, usually at such dinner parties, even if someone was unhappy, they would just say a few sarcastic remarks.
"What are you all pretending for? We're a small company? So what if we're small? Are we eating your food? If we can't work together, then we can work together; if not, then we can't work together. Stop giving me empty promises!" Lu Feng scolded the group. "Bullying a young girl like this, being so sarcastic and insincere, can't you even speak properly? What kind of wine did you drink with them? Haven't you seen through these scumbags? They just want to use their big company status to give you some unknown future and get you to do their bidding!"
That's the logic, and everyone understands it, but saying it out loud makes the situation extremely awkward. Kevin frantically tugged at Lu Feng's clothes on the table, signaling this 'hothead' boss to shut up!
Fukuda, surprisingly thick-skinned, hesitated for a while before saying, "President Lu, we're not asking you to work for free; we're cooperating!"
"Cooperation is great, but we need to make it clear what we'll get in return," Lu Feng said to everyone. "Let's be frank. What's with all this riddles and mystique? What are you pretending for?"
