"Alan, what's going on with this newspaper?" Biesenbach put a newspaper still in front of Allen, a face blushing.

What is it? Feeling the anger that his boss was brewing, Allen's frightened little heart trembled, and he hurriedly opened the newspaper to see that his face was also blue......

The Los Angeles Times did not report anything bizarre, except that the newspaper's reporter noticed that Garrics, Motorola's global executive vice president and vice president in charge of mobile phone business, and ICQ CEO Benier were secretly meeting in a coffee shop in Los Angeles, suspected to be discussing the porting of ICQ to mobile phones......

Seeing this, beads of sweat on Allen's forehead burst out, and he immediately realized why his boss was so angry: his boss Mr. Bissenbach is the head of Siemens' North American mobile phone business...... Like the hard-pressed Japanese mobile phones, because of the storage of the giant Motorola, Siemens' mobile phone market share in the North American market is also scum...... Although the boss has some complaints about the conditions offered by ICQ, thinking that these bastards are simply taking advantage of the fire, but for the sake of market share, he is also ready to admit it, but at this time, he stood up and gave the boss an idea, and built him to dry that Benier, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Alan looked at his boss tremblingly, and he wanted to die. But at this moment, he still has to work hard to mobilize all his brain cells to work hard to keep his job, not to mention. Since the dog can jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, this person is really a little anxious and wise, and he really thought of a reason: "This...... Boss, I think it's most likely a smokescreen from ICQ putting pressure on us. ”

"Huh?" Biesenbach, who was still menacing just now, was stunned!

When he first read today's newspaper, he was stunned, and there was only one reaction in his heart: Nima Allen, you bastard, you have made Lao Tzu miserable!

But now listen to what Alan said. Bissenbach suddenly realized that Allen's words were really not impossible: as far as he knew, ICQ had been in frequent contact with the world's major mobile phone manufacturers during this time, although everyone was very impressed by their construction. But no one was willing to take a step, and it was hard to guarantee that this news was not a move made by ICQ to put pressure on everyone, and his face suddenly eased a little.

But at this time, Alan didn't dare to give his boss any more ideas, and saw that his boss's expression was loose. In addition to a slight sigh of relief. Busy and said: "But boss, although it may be a smokescreen released by ICQ, but for the sake of insurance, we can't be cautious, what if this thing is true?" I think it's better for us to do both. ”

Bissenbach actually thinks the same thing in his heart, no matter what happens to the meeting between ICQ and Garrics, but in any case, Siemens will be one of the three licensing companies. For Biesenbach, who has been struggling with how to expand Siemens' mobile phone market share in North America, like Akiyama Shirakawa, he has actually regarded the cooperation of Siemens mobile phone + ICQ as the only feasible way for Siemens mobile phone to start the North American market turnaround. It's just that now the question is: "But the conditions of the ICQ are too harsh......"

"It's simple," Allen, this guy has the potential to translate the traitors and two devils in the anti-Japanese drama, the whole person is made of bad water, and an idea immediately pops up as soon as his eyes roll: "We can start negotiations with ICQ now, right?" ”

Hey! Bissenbach slapped his thigh in excitement! "Also remember to keep an eye on tomorrow's newspaper to see what Garrics and ICQ have to say."

This is what Biesenbach values most about Allen, although this guy is not very smart, but he has always been clever: negotiation means Siemens' sincerity, but since it is negotiation, it means that there are still differences, and the time for this difference to be resolved is long and short, isn't it?

As for whether there will be a response from Motorola and ICQ in the newspaper tomorrow, he is not worried about this at all: whether it is Motorola or ICQ, both companies have huge influence in the United States, and if there is no media coverage, it is just that, since the meeting between Garrics and Benier was photographed, how can there be no reaction at all in the newspaper tomorrow?

…………………………………………

Compared with the powerful Siemens mobile phone, Alcatel, Philips, Sony, Panasonic, Kyocera, NEC and other European, American and Japanese mobile phone manufacturers did not react much better, the "Los Angeles Times" poked out the news to make everyone's hearts rise, and the timid even trembled: Motorola is already arrogant enough in the North American market, if they unite with ICQ again, will everyone still have a way to live?

"No, no, no, it's not that everyone still has a way to live, it's that if we take a step slower and these three places are snatched away by others, Kyocera still has the necessary question of whether it is necessary to save zài in the North American market." During a video call with Kyocera's headquarters, Akiyama Shirakawa reported to Chairman Kazuo Inamori with a stern face about the grim shape that Kyocera's mobile phone was facing.

"Is it so strict?" Kazuo Inamori frowned, and he was a little unimpressed by Akiyama Shirakawa's words: "Maybe this is a smoke bomb released by ICQ." ”

"Hey!" Akiyama Shirakawa bowed his head heavily, for President Kazuo Inamori, Akiyama Shirakawa's heart was full of respect, so although he didn't think much of the words of the president, the necessary respect must not be less, "Your Excellency, I admit that there is a high probability that this possibility of yours is very likely to exist, but based on the grim form that Kyocera mobile phones are facing in the North American market, I think we would rather consider the worst of the situation than be too optimistic." ”

Although Akiyama Shirakawa's words are suspected of offense, but for his most trusted and favored subordinate, Kazuo Inamori gave enough tolerance, for Akiyama Shirakawa's words, Kazuo Inamori just frowned: "Akiyama-kun, do you really think so?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency President," Akiyama Shirakawa's head lowered heavily again: "The grim situation that Kyocera Mobile is facing in North America, Your Excellency President, you are clear, I think that this cooperation with ICQ is the only way to expand Kyocera's mobile market share in two years, and other than that, I can't think of any possibility to ease Kyocera Mobile's embarrassing situation, but ICQ has given three partners, once Kyocera is excluded......"

This time, Kazuo Inamori didn't speak, and after muttering for a long time, he slowly spoke: "So what? Are you going to bow to them? ”

"Lord President, you misunderstood," Akiyama Shirakawa was scared and really prostrate on the ground, this accusation is too strict, although Akiyama Shirakawa has a good impression of the Chinese, and even Kazuo Inamori has no bad feelings towards the Chinese, but now the entire Japanese society is permeated with a trend of thinking that looks down on the Chinese, once the people know that Kyocera wants to bow to the Chinese, this will be a huge blow to Kyocera, this responsibility is not something Akiyama Shirakawa can bear, trembling: "I mean, We want to expedite engagement with the ICQ and, no matter what, secure a spot. ”

Why doesn't Kazuo Inamori know the difficulties of Kyocera mobile phones in the North American market? After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded slowly: "...... Well, let's get in touch with Mr. Benier. ”

"Hey!" Akiyama Shirakawa nodded heavily, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized that his clothes were soaked.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Undoubtedly, in the newspaper the next day, Benier and Garrics unanimously denied the claim that the two met, and in Benier's words: Hell! I just went in and had a cup of coffee.

But for Benier's words, even dogs don't believe it: Benier, you flew all the way to Los Angeles just to go to the café for a cup of coffee, and then fly away again? What about when we are fools?

Speaking of which, Garrix was wronged, which coffee shop was just one of the coffee shops he frequented, and Benier went in for a cup of coffee? Damn it! The coffee shop is not its own, who wants to come and drink coffee, can they take care of it? Besides, that Benier really didn't come looking for him.

It's just that there is no doubt that in the eyes of the media and the heads of the major mobile phone giants in the North American market, Benier and Garricz's unanimous denial is simply trying to cover up: The fact that you two bastards entered the same coffee shop was filmed by the media, and you still don't admit it?

People are always like this, obviously there is nothing, but after such a toss, everyone can't help but start to be suspicious: Is this true? Nine times out of ten, Motorola and ICQ are secretly plotting something, right? Maybe Motorola wants to drive out all the other phones and dominate the entire North American market by itself? Well, that's unlikely, but maybe they can take the opportunity to expand their market share by another 5 percentage points...... What the hell! Motorola expands its market share by another 5 points, do you still have a way to live?

At the same time, Boss Lin patted Benier's shoulder and smiled very happily: "Lao Bei, I told you a long time ago, this kind of thing is just fiction and reality, and it is obviously not a thing, after being poked out by the media, you resolutely deny it, they will firmly think that there must be some conspiracy in this, and the money for private detectives and reporters is worth it, right?" ”

For his boss, Benier had already admired the five-body throw, and nodded again and again: "Worth!" It's worth it! (To be continued......)
