Age of Dreams

Xiao Qi had long known that the czar was a very decisive man.

In his second year as the Tsar of Russia, he encountered the problem of Checheng.

At that time, Russia's situation was not good, the economy was continuously declining, people's living standards were getting lower and lower, and people's dissatisfaction was increasing day by day.

At this time, Checheng just ran out to make trouble, and there was still such a big noise.

When everyone was worried, the Tsar immediately expressed his thoughts with the strongest attitude.

He let the Russian army drove into Checheng to quell the rebellion, claiming that Russia would never accept such a betrayal.

At the beginning, the battle was very unsuccessful, but no matter how unsuccessful it was, the czar never wavered at all. He kept sending troops in and never paid attention to all kinds of threats and temptations from Checheng. As long as you dare to leave, I will fight. You have to survive.

Such a hard-line attitude and hard-line approach immediately let the Russian people who have been depressed for a long time see the shadow of the powerful Soviet Union fifty years ago.

At that time, except for the United States to be harder, the whole of Europe trembled under the iron curtain of the Soviet Union, and the Soviets were watched in awe wherever they went.

Wherever it’s like now, any country can take a look at Russia, but the people on it dare not even say a word. Even in such a small place as Checheng, they dare to say that they are leaving alone. In the Soviet era, you let them Give it a try with your mouth open?

Therefore, such a tough attitude and expression of the Tsar is in line with the long-repressed mood of the Russian people.

First of all, the army. The original unruly army showed loyalty to him. No matter what kind of **** Checheng was called, they also used artillery and guns to push Checheng into a **** on earth, and finally directly destroyed the remnants of Checheng. The zone was completely sealed off, which was extremely tough.

The people are also very happy that this kind of disobedient place should be beaten, and beaten to death deserves it.

Internationally, this is not the case. Checheng was originally supported by them. Originally, I wanted to further weaken Russia and divide it into pieces, but I did not expect the new little man to be so tyrannical.

At the time of war, the international protests were wave after wave, and then when the Russian army completely surrounded Checheng and prepared to trap them to death, the so-called international humanitarian groups immediately popped up. , Shouting that Russia is "inhumane."

With a lead, people from the Western world swarmed out, yelling at Russia as another step backwards.

Under such great pressure, according to the character of the previous boss, Ye boss must immediately withdraw his troops and apologize.

But the tsar did not. He stated very strongly on TV that this is Russia’s internal affairs, and other countries are not qualified to speak. There are only two endings in Checheng. One is that all the rebels will die, and the other is that they lay down their weapons and surrender. In addition, Russia does not accept any conditions.

And he went to Checheng the next day and repeated his words to the army there.

It is conceivable that when these words spread throughout Russia, how excited and excited the people of Russia are.

The Russians have never been afraid of hardship or death. The German army killed almost 30 million Soviets in the past, and beat the Soviet Union to the ground in just one step. The Soviet Union has never said surrender, because they have their own unique dignity. .

Now the czar’s words and actions have directly made them feel what it means to pick it up. Everyone only feels relieved and happy. They don’t even think about the blockade and retaliation of Western countries that are so fierce. It’s just like you’ve said so badly these years. Russia has no blockade and suppression!

It was also passed such a thing. The Tsar, who was not accepted by the Russians at all, became the most popular boss in Russia. In the following elections, he got more than 90% of the votes in one go. Unstoppable.

Since then, although there have been many twists and turns, no one can shake the czar's position in Russia.

For example, although the czar is only the chief of the house, and the boss in name is Mr. Mei, everyone knows that he is the principal.

The Western world is still imagining that because Mr. May enjoys the status of president, he will definitely fight with the czar in the next election.

But Xiao Qi knew that just a few years later, a few days before the Russian election, Mr. May bluntly announced his withdrawal from the election of his faction and proposed that the Tsar be the only candidate for his faction.

This slap made the face of the Western world hot, and it was dingy for a long time.

This is also why Xiao Qi is willing to talk to the Czar about development for a long time. This is because he knows that the Czar will be able to influence Russia for at least a decade. For business, this is already a very powerful guarantee.

Of course, if anyone thinks that the czar is blindly tough and doesn't know whether to advance or retreat, that would be very wrong.

In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you will know that the Tsar is a natural ruler. He is absolutely tough when he should be tough. Cain has never hesitated when he admits that he will suffer.

Moreover, he knows what it means to be both kind and powerful, and he also knows what it means to be mutual aid and mutual benefit.

For example, now, Xiao Qi just gave him an idea to take chestnut out of the fire, and the czar's return came.

Tony Fadell of netlabs called Xiao Qi today, saying that two Russian companies came to netlabs and wanted to order 10 million sets of smart thermostats and 10 million sets of smart smoke alarms every year.

Netlabs has been doing well in Europe and the United States now. In less than two years, it has become the No. 1 giant of smart thermostats and smoke alarms in Europe and the United States, with a total annual shipment of more than 50 million sets.

Had it not been for the fact that the populations of Europe and North America were too small, there would be no problem with doubling their sales.

But before, Russia and Eastern Europe didn't catch a lot of these smart products. They were only scattered customers who had never made large-scale purchases.

Suddenly there was a super big order, which made both Fadell and Rogers confused.

In the end, the person in charge of the two companies said that they believed in Xiao Qi’s company, so they came to buy it. This made them feel a little thoughtful. They called Xiao Qi and asked whether they should see it. Do this business.

Regardless of how prosperous netlabs is, in fact they are still subject to a lot of restrictions. Fadell and Rogers are a little worried about whether this business can pass the review of the US department.

Don’t doubt that there are many similar departments in the United States, and the requirements are very strict. You are not allowed to sell things if they fail to meet the requirements. Many American businessmen are also very dissatisfied with this. But whoever tells them to use "national" "Interests" threaten people, and there is no way if they don't agree.

There is no way to decide between the two American eos, but Xiao Qi’s reputation is too big and he has many relationships in the United States, so instead, the department in the United States is not easy to embarrass him, otherwise it will provoke the richest man in the world. The international reputation is unpleasant, and you have to face endless attacks from lawyers, and you must be annoying to death.

That's right.

It's a group of lawyers, not lawyers.

When Xiao Qi was in a lawsuit, he was never just one or two lawyers. Simply, a dozen or so lawyers from Mario Law Firm went into battle. If it was a little more complicated, such as the last time a lawsuit was filed with Google, Xiao Qi not only got involved. Hundreds of lawyers from Mario Law Firm also placed large orders for several other law firms. Attorney fees were spent hundreds of millions of dollars, setting a jaw-dropping record.

Since then, everyone has known that in a place like the United States where lawyers are smashing the sky, you must not try to fight against a non-American man in the world, otherwise people will directly get you down with the money.

what else can we do?

Lawyers can do whatever you want, no matter what your national interests or company secrets are. As long as you give money, they can do anything. As long as the law allows them, they will try their best to help their employers.

Regardless of the character of these people, this professional quality alone is worthy of the trust of others. This is why lawyers in developed countries are very profitable. They can help people do things well, even if they charge a little bit more expensively, they are good lawyers. .

Back to the topic.

Xiao Qi also wondered at the beginning, your Russian population is only around 200 million, no matter how many families there are, there are only 50 million households, right?

Among the 50 million residents who have the money to buy smart thermostats and smart smoke alarms, there are at most 20 million households, and the rest are not needed at all.

Of course, the number of smart smoke alarms that can be used in the company can reach 40 million households.

But how did you get your order of 20 million sets each year? Can they still change it every year?

Then Fadell explained that these products are not used by Russia alone. For example, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and other traditional Russian spheres of influence can also be used. Russian companies are doing well in these countries.

In this way, the number of households that can afford to buy can reach about 100 million, and the number of companies is only a lot more, and it is not difficult to complete the annual sales of 20 million sets.

In addition, Fadel also said that the heads of those two companies vaguely said that the Russian government will provide subsidies for these smart home products, which is about 30% of the selling price. In this way, the price will be even higher. Cheap, if you want to come to Russia, there will be a substantial increase in sales.

After all, almost all the territory of Russia is in very cold areas. This smart thermostat and smart smoke alarm will be equipped when conditions permit.

It turned out to be like this!

No wonder the two companies are confidently ordering 20 million sets each. It turns out that the Russian government is helping behind.

Why did the Russian government choose to support netlabs' products?

Didn’t you say it earlier?

The Russians believe in Xiao Qi’s products~www.readwn.com~ Well, or to be more precise, the czar felt that they could support Xiao Qi’s products, so the government naturally started to move, and business people naturally started to move. I was also very sensible and came over to purchase.

The Tsar is also very clever.

Xiao Qi has so many companies, he directly chose a product that improves the quality of life of the Russian people. It can not only give Xiao Qi a favor, but also express his concern for the people. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone! !

Taking these into account, Xiao Qi naturally did not hesitate, and directly allowed Fadel to sign a contract with a Russian company to officially promote netlabs' products to the entire Russia and surrounding areas.

The czar's response will be unhappy if he doesn't accept it. After accepting it, it seems that everyone will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future! (To be continued.)
