Chapter 258 Cooperation is not one-sided wishful thinking
"It's like we can only cooperate with them, and we can't do without them. What kind of nonsense is this? I don't know who gave them this confidence..."
The next day, the Electronics Industry Frontier R&D Seminar officially opened.
Zhang Dong noticed that the organizer was also a company, and the company's boss was named Wilson.
He made a brief statement at the meeting.
After making a few perfunctory remarks, the main point was about win-win cooperation between the major companies...
Upon hearing Wilson's words, Zhang Dong smiled slightly.
He thought to himself, "This is interesting. Is this the beginning of the setup?"
In the face of an increasingly complex competitive landscape, cooperation is fine, but the key is how to cooperate.
Just like last night, those three companies that approached them for cooperation were, to put it bluntly, playing dirty tricks. They were supposed to be cooperating, but they demanded that their technical staff come to their companies to do research and development.
This is truly a case of "the most bizarre, the most bizarre."
The most ridiculous thing is that this electronic product R&D seminar laid the groundwork for cooperation between various companies at the conference. Was it pointing the finger at me, as if they were afraid that I wouldn't cooperate with them?
After Wilson finished speaking, other company executives came on stage to talk about the current development of the electronics industry.
To Zhang Dong, it was all just wordplay; they were just spouting official platitudes with no substance whatsoever.
Just as the morning seminar ended and Zhang Dong was about to leave, a tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed man hurriedly walked towards him.
"Mr. Zhang, don't rush off. Let's have a chat..."
Zhang Dong was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head: "Excuse me, who are you...?"
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I am the president of Dehuali Company, your peer, also engaged in electronic product research and development."
"Oh, okay." Zhang Dong nodded. "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Mr. Zhang, it's like this. Our company wants to enter the Dongda market. We've heard that your company is the largest and is at the forefront of the industry in terms of technological research and development."
"We wanted to find a platform that could quickly open up the market for Dongda University."
"We feel that your company is such a good platform, so we want to cooperate with you."
Zhang Dong nodded: "So your company also has the idea of entering Dongda University?"
"Then tell me specifically what you will do after the cooperation, and what reasons I have for cooperating with you?"
"Cooperation requires a win-win situation, not just wishful thinking..."
Since it had been agreed last night that the president of Dehuali Company and Zhang Dong would discuss cooperation matters, some of the foreign company presidents who attended the meeting did not leave after the meeting ended, but stood on the side, making it look lively.
Wilson, the person in charge of the event, also stayed on the stage and did not leave.
However, he didn't come closer; he just watched from a distance.
"This, this..."
Just now, Zhang Dong, the young president of this domineering company, said that he was fantasizing, which made the president of Dehuali Company extremely unhappy.
However, he also understood Zhang Dong's meaning: the cooperation between the two sides was not a one-sided affair.
The other party meant that if he wanted to cooperate with them, he had to provide them with some kind of value. This made James, the president of DeWalley Company, twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Their original plan, devised last night, was to use the guise of cooperation. If one company successfully negotiated with Zhang Dong, that company would send technicians to steal Zhang Dong's company's most advanced computer research and development technology, and then retrieve the technology for their other companies to share.
They originally thought that as long as these large foreign companies made a request for cooperation, Zhang Dong would readily agree.
After all, they understand that Easterners value face, and once they cooperate with a large foreign company, they'll probably be so excited they can't sleep.
But after testing them last night, they felt that this young president was an oddball.
When asked what value he could offer after the collaboration, the president of Dehuali Company twitched at the corner of his mouth.
What value can they provide to Zhang Dong's company? They hadn't considered this at all when they were discussing it, always assuming that these companies from Dongda University were all foreign-worshipping.
Therefore, they learned about Zhangdong's company, which is a local enterprise.
If a foreign corporation were to partner with such a company, the boss would probably be overjoyed and would readily agree without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, the other party made such a tricky request and asked what benefits it could bring to their company.
"Mr. Zhang..."
The president of this Dehuali company even started to stutter a little when he spoke.
"As you just said, cooperation between the two sides is mutually beneficial and win-win. As a foreign company, we have very favorable conditions in terms of technology research and development."
"Although you are doing well now, cooperating with our company may make your research and development faster."
"After all, we have always been far ahead in terms of technological development."
"An empty promise, huh." Zhang Dong chuckled. "Since you're so far ahead, why are you even asking us to cooperate? Are you really that kind? Do you really think I'd believe your empty promises?"
"you……"
James, the president of the Dehua Group, was also surprised by Zhang Dong's words and was speechless.
Wilson, standing to the side, couldn't help but look angry. This Zhang Dong really didn't know what was good for him. Wilson was so angry that he wanted to step forward and scold Zhang Dong.
But then he saw other company executives walk up to him.
"Mr. Zhang, you're wrong to say that. Mr. James was just saying that he wanted to cooperate for mutual benefit, to jointly develop the Daxia market, and to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of both parties."
"But the first thing you ask is what the benefits of cooperation are? How can you do that?"
"That's right, Mr. Zhang. I advise you to broaden your horizons and take a longer-term view..."
"Hahaha--"
Upon seeing the true colors of these people, Zhang Dong could no longer help but burst into laughter.
"Not cooperating with you means you can't broaden your horizons; not accepting your prostitution and theft means you don't have a long-term vision. Is this your robber logic?"
"You get angry when cooperation fails; what happened to your manners?"
Looking at the company executives who came to his aid, they were all speechless.
The key point is that Zhang Dong hit the nail on the head, leaving them speechless.
Upon seeing this, Wilson, who had been furious and about to reprimand Zhang Dong for his lack of respect, was now standing up to him.
Seeing the reprimanded bosses, he secretly rejoiced that he had restrained his impulse, otherwise he would have been embarrassed on the spot.
