Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2898 Arrangement

When I got home and passed the hallway, I only saw Aunt Xue in the living room.

"Oh, you're back?" Aunt Xue, who was half-lying on the sofa lazily, stood up and came over to help him take off his suit jacket. "Did the meeting go well today?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's OK, it went better than expected, how about them?"

"We just finished dinner and went for a walk in the park." Aunt Xue pursed her lips, "I wanted to wait for you to have dinner together, but you said you wanted to go for a drink."

The Zhou family’s home is not far from the Olympic Sports Park and can be reached on foot.

Usually in the evening, I always go there for a walk.

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "Lei Jun, he insisted on dragging me out for a drink, as if something big happened."

Aunt Xue curled her lips and snorted, "Didn't you say that Mr. Lei is usually very busy and a workaholic? I don't believe he would have time to invite you for a drink. There must be something big going on, and you just didn't expect it."

"What big deal could it be? It's nothing more than Qualcomm..."

Zhou Buqi stopped talking abruptly, and suddenly remembered something.

  Depend on!

I didn't react at the time, but now that I'm home and calm, I've sorted out my thoughts and I feel like I've been tricked.

Zhou Buqi was not aware of Qualcomm's forced bundling at first, but Lei Jun invited him to visit Xiaomi and told him about it. This made Zhou Buqi realize the seriousness of the matter and then he got involved.

What followed was a series of maneuvers by Boss Zhou at home and abroad.

It has been basically confirmed that an antitrust investigation will be launched against Qualcomm in China, and there is even a great possibility that Apple will be dragged into it.

It’s time for everyone to stand up and fight against Qualcomm!

Unexpectedly, after the industry symposium, Lei Jun dragged him out for a drink without any explanation and gave him a lot of advice, saying that it was not convenient for Xiaomi to stand up against Qualcomm now, and that it would be in the interests of both parties to secretly communicate with Qualcomm and maintain a good cooperative relationship.

Zhou Buqi thought so too.

I agreed.

Xiaomi is too weak now. If it wants to fight Qualcomm, Xiaomi won't make a difference. If Xiaomi can show its care and condolences to Qualcomm and help it in its time of need, its value will be infinitely magnified, and the cooperation between Qualcomm and Xiaomi can be strengthened, even rising to the level of strategic cooperation.

In this way, Xiaomi’s strategic gap in technology has been filled.

Lei Jun's explanation made perfect sense.

Makes sense.

But now when Zhou Buqi thought about it, he felt something was not right.

Originally, Zhou Buqi knew nothing about this matter.

Zhou Shaoning never mentioned it to him.

It was Lei Jun who pulled Zhou Buqi into the scene to express his anger and annoyance towards Qualcomm.

At this stage, Xiaomi, as an emerging mobile phone manufacturer, is in a very weak position and is far less attractive to Qualcomm than Estar. Not to mention Estar, it is even far behind China Coolpad.

After Zhou Buqi entered the market, he went against Qualcomm.

It also involved the domestic mobile phone industry. At this time, the domestic mobile phone industry had formed a "hostile" relationship with Qualcomm to a certain extent, especially Astar. Because Zhou Buqi was the big boss behind Astar, Astar would be the most affected.

Xiaomi, however, adopted a roundabout strategy and was going to provide Qualcomm with a helping hand.

At this stage, Xiaomi's position and strategic value to Qualcomm have undergone tremendous changes. It can be said that it has far surpassed China Cool Alliance and is even more attractive than Esda.

  Especially Samsung is also at war with Qualcomm!

This means that once the situation becomes tense, Xiaomi will become the most important partner in Qualcomm's eyes!

In the blink of an eye, Xiaomi jumped from the farthest position on Qualcomm's supplier list to the top of the list!

Xiaomi is the biggest beneficiary of all this!

Lei Jun planned all this behind the scenes.

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi shuddered, realizing that he had been used without leaving any trace by Lei Bushi.

  Great!

In the process of dealing with the Qualcomm incident, he focused all his energy on the intrigues of those foreigners, especially Apple CEO Tim Cook. He didn't want to set up a dragon gate formation with great effort, but in the end Apple would reap the benefits, so he had to drag Apple into it no matter what.

What a great result.

  I can defend Cook, but I can’t defend Lei Jun!

Apple fell into the water, but Xiaomi seized the opportunity to surface.

Aunt Xue saw his strange expression and became worried. She asked gently, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi smiled and took her hand upstairs. "It's okay. You were right to remind me. I just realized that he tricked me."

Aunt Xue was very worried, "Is it serious?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's okay, we're all family, it's just a little funny. I guess Lei Jun is secretly happy right now, thinking he had me figured out. Well... you know what, his evil plan really succeeded. This time I was busy guarding against Apple, and he got the advantage for nothing."

Aunt Xue said softly, "No one is perfect. Everyone makes small mistakes."

Zhou Buqi took her hand and went upstairs to change into home clothes. Hearing this, he whispered, "I want to make a mistake with you, too."

"Bah!" Aunt Xue pulled her hand away and patted his arm. "I was trying to comfort you with good intentions, but you still teased me. Were you not satisfied last night? You're still not exhausted?"

When Zhou Buqi mentioned last night, he thought of the young girl Wang Yihuan and asked, "Where's Huanhuan? Did she go for a walk too?"

Aunt Xue said, "No, I've been feeling unwell all day. I'm in my room, and Yanan is with me."

"That's not a big deal. How painful can it be? Which woman hasn't gone through this?" Zhou Buqi thought the little girl was making a fuss over nothing. "Girls nowadays are so precious. No one is like her. When I held the coming-of-age ceremony for Bao sister, I didn't have as much experience as I do now. The next day, she followed me to work as if nothing had happened."

Aunt Xue said angrily, "What else can I say? You don't feel sorry for anyone at all!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I remember you were there at the time. I got your approval before I was with Baoshan. Don't accuse me. I told her to have a good rest. She said she was fine."

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Go and keep Huan Huan company and comfort her. I've seen it all, it's still red and swollen, and it's not suitable to apply ice cubes. It would be even worse if it causes dysmenorrhea or other gynecological diseases in the future."

Zhou Buqi made light of it, "It's okay, I have more experience than you. It will be fine in a few days, don't make a fuss. If it really doesn't work, I will accumulate more experience, and when Tongtong bids farewell to Girls' Generation in the future, she will suffer less... Oh, why do you always pinch me?"

Aunt Xue really had no idea what to do with this brat. She said angrily, "Ning Lu has arranged all the formalities in Tokyo. The new batch of twelve Japanese maids can all go abroad to work. You should just gain more experience!"

"That's fine." Zhou Buqi sighed, "My greatest strength is that I listen to advice."

Aunt Xue couldn't argue with him about this topic any more. It would definitely end up with her, so she said helplessly, "Why isn't Baoshan pregnant yet? Hurry up, I'm still waiting to show you the baby."

Zhou Buqi said: "Work hard, definitely work hard!"
