As soon as Zhao Min and Xiao Yu walked into the door of the reception room, a man stood up from the sofa. He is Yu Chengnan, the consumer CEO of Huawei Terminal Company, who is one of the most influential figures in the technology circle.
"Mr. Yu, hello."
Zhao Min stretched out his hand to shake Yu Chengnan's hand and sat opposite him: "Mr. Yu is here in person this time to make us shine."
"Don't be polite, I like to be direct." Yu Chengnan shook his head and smiled at Zhao Min.
"I also like to be more direct." Zhao Min smiled and said, "Mr. Yu is here to cooperate this time?"
Yu Chengnan straightened his body.
"Mr. Zhao, does your company plan to sell shares? Our company can acquire some shares of your company and join forces. One plus one will definitely be greater than two."
"No plan, let's put it this way, in the past few days, I have sent away people from IDG, Alibaba, Jiuding, Sequoia and Penguin. Does Mr. Yu think that we are still short of money and need to go to the stage of financing and selling shares?" Zhao Min said.
"That's not true. It's just that there are some rumors in the circle that the shares of Army Ant Company are only in the hands of your chairman. This piece of meat is too fat for him to eat. Some people want him to spit out some of it. I came here this time because I wanted to Cooperate with you." Yu Chengnan said without hesitation.
"Let him spit out some?" Zhao Min smiled and shook his head.
Having known Chen Mo for so long, she also has an understanding of Chen Mo's character.
Although this chairman is usually very calm, easy to talk to, and also likes to joke. But when necessary, he is definitely a powerful person, and it is simply impossible to take away the shares of Marching Ant Company from him.
Now the main products of Army Ant Company are all produced by him. The wealth he created cannot be given away to others in vain.
"Mr. Yu, you don't have to worry about us. The company experienced a blackmail once and got over it. It won't be a big deal if it happens again." Zhao Min said.
"Can I chat with the chairman of your company?" Yu Chengnan asked with a smile.
"Xiao Yu, go and inform the chairman to come down and talk to Mr. Yu." Zhao Min said to Xiao Yu beside him.
"good."
Xiaoyu nodded and left the reception room. After a few minutes, Xiaoyu came back again, but with Chen Mo beside him.
"This is our chairman, Chen Mo." After Chen Mo and Xiaoyu walked in, Zhao Min introduced him.
"Hello, Director Chen."
Yu Chengnan looked at Chen Mo with surprise in his eyes.
There were no photos of Chen Mo exposed on the Internet, but he knew that the chairman of the Army Ant Company was a young man. Only after seeing him did he realize that he was a little too young.
If Chen Mo hadn't been standing in front of him, he would never have believed that such a young man was the real leader of the Marching Ant Company.
"Hello, Mr. Yu, I have long admired your name." Chen Mo stretched out his hand and shook Yu Chengnan's hand.
"I won't say any polite words. I have two things to do here this time. One is about investing in the Army Ant Company, and the second is some cooperation matters. Originally, these things were not what I should do, but this time it just happened. Over here, just dropped by." Yu Chengnan said.
Chen Mo sat down opposite Yu Chengnan: "I'm afraid Mr. Yu will be disappointed. I have no plans to sell my shares for the time being, but we can discuss cooperation matters in detail."
"Is there no room for negotiation in terms of shares?" Yu Chengnan asked.
"No. Our company is not short of money currently, and there is no need to adjust the company's equity structure." Chen Mo said without hesitation.
"Okay then, let's talk about cooperation."
Yu Chengnan did not struggle with this issue. Chen Mo had already made it very clear that if he struggled with this aspect, it would lead to resentment.
"How do you want to cooperate, Mr. Yu?" Chen Mo asked.
"Patent interoperability, our two companies can sign a patent interoperability agreement and some patent interoperability." Yu Chengnan said.
"Our company was established not long ago and we don't have many patents in total."
"It's just a memorandum of cooperation now, but there will be many opportunities in the future. Of course, if you are willing to exchange patents with us for smart assistant technology, many of our technologies can be licensed to you."
Yu Chengnan looked directly at Chen Mo. Chen Mo made him unable to see through. He was the most confident young man he had ever seen.
"The smart assistant does not intend to authorize." Chen Mo said calmly: "It is still okay to sign a cooperation memorandum. After all, this is an open era, and cooperation can only be a win-win situation."
"Dr. Chen is a quick talker. I just have time today. Let's talk about the general direction of cooperation first."
As a giant of domestic technology companies, Hua Wei is not generally strong, and Army Ant is a rising star. But Chen Mo is confident that it is not a problem for Marching Ant Company to surpass China Microelectronics, so when discussing cooperation, the relationship between the two parties is equal.
During this period, Chen Mo also asked Huawei to upgrade their servers. During this period, the number of users of smart assistants has increased rapidly, and the server upgrade speed has been much faster. We just took this opportunity to ask the people from Huawei to help.
Both parties were willing to cooperate, so the cooperation matters were discussed quickly. After talking about cooperation, Zhao Min took a group of people to have a simple meal and socialize, and then sent Yu Chengnan away.
"Chairman, the impact of the smart assistant this time is very big. I'm afraid someone is going to do something from behind. The benefits are too great, and many people are watching. It will be more troublesome than the last army ant system." On the way back to the company, Sitting down Zhao Min said in the commercial car.
Zhao Min is very clear that there are many alternative options for mobile phone systems, and since they are closed source, the reaction from the outside world is not as big as expected.
But the market for smart assistants is different. Currently there are no substitute products. They are the only one. Once any market reaches a monopoly level, the profits will be terrifying, no matter what it is selling.
She had this concern before releasing the smart assistant, but it was impossible to give up the release of the smart assistant because of this concern. Nothing much is happening in the company now, but she feels that a storm is brewing.
"Don't worry, the troops will come to cover up the water and the earth will cover it up. The current company is no longer the original company."
"You are so optimistic, what else can I say?" Zhao Min said helplessly.
"How is the plan for the company headquarters going?"
"It is being designed by someone, and I have also sent people to follow up. The drawings should be produced soon. Regarding the construction issue, we are also preparing for public bidding." Zhao Min said.
"Tell me about the direction you want to develop next, so I can pave the way first so that you won't be in a hurry later. You suddenly threw me a smart assistant this time. Such a sudden thing will disrupt many plans."
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded: "Next, we will enter the manufacturing industry. I am researching battery materials. You can buy a few factories first, including battery production and parts processing factories."
"Full investment or shareholding?" Zhao Min asked.
"Fully owned."
"Well, the company's money belongs to you anyway. I have no place to spend it, so I can only listen to you." Zhao Min said: "One more thing, I am planning to acquire an advertising company. In the future, we will also have our own product promotion Channels and planning. Moreover, we have a platform and can receive a lot of advertising business.”
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded.
After the group returned to the company, Chen Mo went straight into his office area and continued the experiment.
