Special troubles of rebirth

Katie Cotton's visit to China was made without any fanfare and seemed to be a simple market research trip.

In the calm situation, Katie Cotton, accompanied by Qin Shiyu, inspected the mobile phone production line in Suzhou. The factory now owned by Panshi Technology has three production lines, and all the production capacity is given to Apple 4.

It is located in the economically developed area of ​​the Yangtze River Delta and is close to the Magic City. In addition, a group of skilled workers have been accumulated during the early production of the Guoke I generation. Therefore, when the production lines here switched to the production of Apple 4, even if Apple It has always been known for its strict requirements, but after inspecting it, Katie Cotton had to admit that the products produced here can meet their requirements.

After inspecting the production line, the team brought by Katie Cotton began to conduct market research, but she herself came to the engine technology headquarters to meet and talk with Wang Yu.

"Welcome, Ms. Katie."

With a smile on his face, Wang Yu shook hands with the Apple executive in his early thirties and motioned for her to take a seat in the reception area.

"Mr. Wang, even though Mr. Qiao has mentioned you in front of me many times, I still can't help but be surprised when I see you so young with my own eyes. I have to admit that you are still as talented as Mr. Qiao. "

Katie Cotton is a typical American female elite, with short blond hair and eyes that exude confidence. She is capable in both her words and movements.

"Is this your first time in China, Ms. Katie?"

After sitting down, Wang Yu motioned Ruan Peilin to make tea and started with a small talk: "I wonder if you took a walk around the Bund of Shanghai last night."

"This is not my first time coming to China."

Katie Cotton sat down and responded with a smile: "This is a hot spot for business and is undergoing earth-shaking changes. No one will ignore the market here."

"Because the changes are huge, we must always update our concepts."

Wang Yu said with a pun: "Because this place is developing forward every year, after a period of time, the perspective on this market must change, otherwise it will fall behind others."

"That's why I'm here, isn't it?"

Katie Cotton also responded to Wang Yu with a pun.

"Try this year's new tea, Biluochun from Suzhou."

Wang Yu gestured after Ruan Peiling brought the brewed tea, and then asked: "Ms. Katie went to Gusu for an inspection yesterday. How did you feel?"

"Your production capacity really surprised me. To be honest, we thought the technical index requirements proposed by Mr. Qiao were crazy. The company also tried to find some factories across the country and Europe, but none of them could Meet those technical indicators while meeting production capacity.”

Katie Cotton looked at Wang Yu and sighed: "But yesterday's inspection showed me the production capacity of China. Maybe you are the only one in the world who can do both of these things at the same time."

Wang Yu smiled and said modestly: "Maybe you can try the big Eastern country next door. They also have a sufficient working population."

"Oh, NO, NO, NO!"

Katie Cotton shook her head and said: "Not to mention high-end precision technology products like Apple 4 in that place, even industrial products that are one or two levels inferior are not enough, and the efficiency there can drive every entrepreneur crazy. It fell."

Qin Shiyu on the side looked at her boss strangely, and suddenly mentioned what the hell was that country next door?

She didn't know Wang Yu's bad taste. In fact, before she was reborn, she saw Apple moving a lot of production capacity to that country. She felt unhappy, so she secretly had fun here.

Getting back to the subject, Wang Yu made a joke that no one knew except him and continued: "I don’t know how many days Ms. Katie will stay in Shanghai. Recently, our Guokshell II generation is preparing to hold a press conference. If the time If you have time, I’d like to invite you to participate!”

Before Katie Cotton could mention this matter, Wang Yu took the initiative to bring it up.

Katie Cotton was obviously stunned for a moment. After a moment, she looked at Wang Yu with a smile. She had a relatively new concept about this young entrepreneurial CEO, that is, this man was aggressive!

"Mr. Wang talked about the launch of Guoke II and invited me to participate, which I really wanted."

Katie Cotton smiled and said: "Just before this trip, Mr. Qiao talked to me alone and asked me to talk to Mr. Wang about your company's new mobile phone."

"Oh, I didn't expect Lao Qiao to care about this matter?"

Wang Yu also smiled: "Actually, I know that your new generation model is about to be released. It is because I feel that there is a little gap with your products in terms of products, so I have to release it to the market in advance under pressure. After all, we are competing with you." It’s too much pressure.”

"Mr. Wang is modest. Although the share of Apple 4 is still far higher than that of iPhone in the global market or in the European and American markets, in the markets of East Asia, South Asia, and West Asia, our leading advantage is not much. , not to mention that in your country’s market, the market shares of our two companies are basically equal.”

Katie Cotton had clear data in her mind, so it was impossible to be confused by Wang Yu's few words.

"so?"

Wang Yu spread his hands: "There are more than six billion people in the world. You have an advantage in a market with a population of five billion. The key is that half of the global mobile phone market is still in the hands of Nokia and Motorola. Our two companies are like two small companies." Children grabbing lollipops?”

"Hahaha"

After hearing Wang Yu's metaphor, Katie Cotton, a woman, couldn't help laughing.

"No wonder Mr. Qiao said that when chatting with you, he would accidentally forget that you are Chinese."

After Katie Cotton laughed, she continued: "Mr. Wang has a sense of humor that is different from the Eastern style, and he speaks frankly and directly. Unlike some Chinese people I have come into contact with, who always show some kind of implicitness, even Sometimes some of the things expressed are foggy and difficult to understand.”

"The strong need to be respected."

Wang Yu smiled: "It's like I'm chatting with you in English now, instead of us both talking in Chinese."

Katie Cotton was startled for a moment, then she stopped smiling and looked at Wang Yu more formally.

"Mr. King, your success is not a fluke!"

"There is luck, but I think luck is also part of strength!"

Wang Yu pointedly said: "Just like the Battle of Midway, it is the result of strength and luck."

Katie Cotton picked up the tea cup and felt the temperature of the water, then took a sip, squinting slightly and said: "I like drinking coffee, but here I have to adapt to drinking tea. Mr. King, your strength has won us. respect, so I agree with some of Mr. Qiao’s views and we can talk about some things seriously.”

The conversation between the two parties has not entered the topic until now. All the previous foreshadowing was that Katie Cotton was testing Wang Yu. Maybe Old Qiao had an explanation before he came, but this woman obviously has her own ideas, or she may not agree with Old Qiao. View.

Through the verbal exchange just now, Katie Cotton recognized some of Lao Qiao's views and regarded Wang Yu as an equal partner.

"All ears!"

Wang Yu also picked up the tea cup and blew on the mouth of the cup with lowered eyes and eyebrows. While drinking the tea, his heart was filled with thoughts: "Fuck!"
