Chapter 1094 Isn't this a scam?

This transaction is very important to both parties. If Lu Feng cannot get the order, it will be almost impossible to operate later. For TSMC, this order is very important. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as a batch is sold, it will be easy later. up.

The three of Lu Feng basically stayed in the room throughout the morning, and Liu Cheng sorted out some relevant technical indicators, and then used these high indicators to lower the price with the opposite party.

Zhu Lidong called Zhang Rujing, hoping to talk about the other party's cost and the other party's price in person.

Only Lu Feng sat there smoking a stuffy cigarette. If he couldn't come up with a plan to suppress the other party in the past few days, he would be very passive in the negotiation. Once the other party saw that he had to rely on him, it would really be over.

After thinking about it, Lu Feng felt that only Nokia can help him now, but he doesn't know if Nokia has found that he has cheated them.

I found Elmi's office landline and called. The secretary picked up the phone and asked for her private number. It took a while to pick up.

"Which one?"

"It's me, Lu Feng. I haven't heard from you for a long time. How are you doing recently?" Lu Feng asked quite tenderly.

"Lu Feng?" The other end of the phone seemed a little surprised. Elmi doesn't want to have too much contact with this person now, and there are not many opportunities to use Lu Feng in the future, not to mention the things he did in Europe. Contact now It does more harm than good.

"That's it. I'm busy with work every day. What's the matter with you?"

"I just missed you, so I'll give you a call to chat." Lu Feng could hear the other party's perfunctory.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry. I'm going to sleep here. I'll call you another day when I'm free, okay?" Elmi said to her phone while sitting in the coffee shop.

"What time is it now? It should be evening over there, right?" Hearing that the other party was about to hang up, Lu Feng hurriedly said, "I don't want you to help me with European affairs, but to chat."

Elmi was a little relieved when she heard this, and said, "Well, I'm afraid I won't accept it if it's someone else, but you are a special case!"

Lu Feng inquired about the recent development of Nokia. Now the cooperation with Ericsson is very good. Nokia's mobile phone business is advancing by leaps and bounds. It has already had a back and forth with Ericsson, and it can be regarded as a firm foothold in London.

On the phone, Elmi was still very grateful to Lu Feng. The two times of help made her the core of the group. It is estimated that she will be able to get the incentive equity next year. Her father will continue to operate, hoping that she can join the board of directors.

It's just that for the things Lu Feng did in Europe, in order to avoid danger, her father told her to keep contact with Lu Feng less. To put it bluntly, if those bad things were done by Europeans or Americans, there would be no problem at all. It is said that the money from a group of leeks was coaxed, and the capitalists here do not know how many banks they have overthrown, and they are still happy and happy.

After chatting on the phone for more than ten minutes, Lu Feng mentioned the matter of making his own mobile phone, and asked, "Who is your partner?"

"Are you going to produce mobile phones?" Elmi immediately sensed the business opportunity and replied, "I can help you. If you forget about the lack of core accessories, I may not be able to help you. It is not allowed to provide you with high-tech equipment and parts.”

"Which associations?" Lu Feng asked.

"For example, I just finished participating in the Global Mobile Communications Association in Barcelona this year, and many international organizations have issued relevant documents. I have to say that you are indeed quite famous in various associations, financial industries, and aviation associations around the world. This time A private meeting even put your photo on the big screen." Elmi joked: "It's like a star among the executives of high-end companies around the world."

Lu Feng knew that Mi would block him, but he didn't expect such a big movement. These associations, which ordinary people have never heard of, will play a big role at critical times.

For Lu Feng's sake, Elmi said: "It's not a problem to delay this matter. After all, the company needs to develop. I suggest you go to the International Court of Justice as soon as possible. If you have to lose money, you will lose money."

"International court?" Lu Feng snorted disdainfully: "It's better to arrest and go to jail directly. I don't mean to ask you to help directly, but I just want to know who can help you produce core parts."

"We've been cooperating with Texas Instruments, and you know that if you want to work internationally, you have to pay some protection money, right?" Elmi said helplessly.

"So there is such a way?" Lu Feng said with emotion.

"It's not like that. The technology of Texas Instruments is still one of the best in the world, but when choosing, the same technology must be given priority to the United States." Elmi explained.

"Then I see, you give me the phone number over there, and I will handle the rest myself."

Elmi gave a number and hung up the phone. Lu Feng looked at the copied number and already had an idea in his mind. Instead of calling this number, he called Zhang Fengxia who was in the United States.

"It's me, Lu Feng!" Lu Feng said after the call was connected.

"Why did you think of calling me?" The other end of the phone said overjoyed: "Did you miss me too? I happen to miss you too."

Hearing the surprised voice on the phone, Lu Feng suddenly felt a little guilty, cleared his throat and said, "Yeah, how are you doing?"

"It's pretty good, but I eat too much. Anyway, I have money and leisure, but you are not here, but I recently applied for a graduate student at Columbia University. I am bored by myself, so I just find something to do. You have a lot of things recently. Not much? I was quite worried during that time, and I was relieved when Sister Xiaoyan told me that you were fine." The head on the phone chattered like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

"When did Xiaoyan call you?" Lu Feng felt something.

"Just some time ago, let's talk nonsense and talk about things in the factory. Let me tell you, the baby was healthy after a re-examination a few days ago. The doctor said that the due date is at the end of April or early May, but it's a pity that you can't come. , I am also quite scared by myself, after all, I have never given birth to someone when I grow up so big."

The other end of the phone was talking non-stop, and it was obvious that she held back a lot of words. Last month, she met her former classmate and found out that she was pregnant. Instead, like a housewife, Zhang Fengxia said that she no longer had contact with that classmate.

It's all trivial matters, what's the weather like, what's delicious around, and forgot to bring an umbrella when it rained, Lu Feng listened to these things in a daze, as if he was on the phone with the former Jiang Xiaoyan.

When she went out of town, she had time to talk, and she wished she could tell her about the cockroaches that came to her house.

After talking on the other end of the phone for more than ten minutes, Zhang Fengxia seemed to sense something and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"It doesn't count. I just need an overseas phone number. I'm not in mainland China now." Lu Feng said the matter simply, he just wanted her to help play the role of the person in charge of the marketing department of Texas Instruments, and faxed it from there by the way A price list and product introduction for Texas Instruments.

"Okay, I happen to have something to do. The school will take a while." Zhang Fengxia readily agreed, but there was a trace of disappointment in her voice.

"I can't take care of you when you are there, why don't you go back to China? As long as you don't tell your parents." Lu Feng also felt a little sorry.

"I'm fine. After you go back, you still have to worry about me. The company is at a critical juncture. You don't have to worry about me. Just take care of yourself. Just find time to think of the child's name." Zhang Fengxia comforted her while suppressing the loss in her heart. .

"Come back after I've been busy for a while. I miss you too. By the way, I dreamed of you a while ago." Lu Feng wanted to comfort her, and forcibly made up a dream.

A smile appeared on Zhang Fengxia's face on the other end of the phone, chatted a few words, babbled into the phone receiver, and got bored with a few more words before hanging up.

Lu Feng sat there looking at the phone, recalling Zhang Fengxia's joy, feeling quite depressed, lit a cigarette halfway through, stood up and left the room.

I found Liu Cheng in the hotel's living room, and said to him, "Think about a piece of information, the price list of Texas Instruments, and the product introduction, all in English, it's best to give it to me before three or four o'clock in the morning. One point!"

"Then do you want to go to the negotiation in the afternoon?" Liu Cheng was a little bored. After the negotiation in the afternoon, he might have to eat and drink in the evening. What time does he come back, and he still has to do this stuff?

"Of course I went, just come back early, I have made all the plans, don't worry, I will definitely win them this time." Lu Feng said confidently.

At noon, together with Zhang Rujing, a total of four people were eating in the private room of the hotel restaurant, and Lu Feng expressed his thoughts.

"It's very simple, just use Texas Instruments to pressure them and ask them to quote in the afternoon. No matter what price they say, we say we will consider it first. Mr. Zhang can try to reveal that we are also in contact with Texas Instruments. The second time When negotiating, bring the documents faxed over there and show them a little bit, if the other party can’t get the price down, we will express our willingness to sign with them, and they will definitely not give up the order.” Lu Feng said very firmly.

Liu Cheng and Zhu Lidong nodded, expressing their approval of the plan, Mr. Zhang looked at Lu Feng from the side and said, "Isn't this just a scam?"

"What kind of fraud? To Mr. Lu, this is already very honest." Liu Cheng said seriously.

"That's right! If you take the goods and don't give the money, that's called cheating." Zhu Lidong added.

"What you're talking about is robbery, right?" Mr. Zhang didn't feel right. Why did these people talk about it so calmly?

"It's just a way of negotiation. It's very common. Eat and eat." Lu Feng casually avoided the topic.
