436: Chapter 436 They came looking for the dog, not to negotiate.

"Mr. Wilson, choosing which supplier is our choice; that is not a problem you should be worrying about right now."

Wilson didn't retort. If Lei Jun actually purchased the brand-new chips recently, he would admire him as a real man!

After all, according to the Chinese history he had studied, Han Xin once suffered the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs. If Lei Jun really lowered his head, he would truly respect him as a real man!

After a while, looking at the desperately composed Lei Jun, Wilson began a new round of attacks!

"President Lei, it seems you still haven't grasped the situation?"

At this, Lei Jun, who had been tense, finally couldn't hold it back anymore.

"The losses from the xiaomi note 3 haven't been filled yet. I still have a batch of 3G Snapdragon 801s on hand, and another batch of 4G Snapdragon 801s. The Honor 9 is about to be released, less than a week away from the 15th. How is Xiaomi supposed to clear its inventory by then?"

[The plot with the monkey moved a bit too fast; the time for the previous Honor launch event has been pushed back.]

"They have their own brand and channels!"

"Brand? Channels?"

Wilson suppressed a laugh, but still waved his hand, signaling the legal counsel beside him to open a report!

"Because of quality issues, the xiaomi note 3 is selling very poorly right now, and its reputation has collapsed. What is your brand worth?"

"And channels—how many offline channels do you have? How many exclusive partners? The online channels you're so proud of? Those internet companies are all invested in by Transsion. If they want to block you, it's just a matter of a single word. Xiaomi's true core competitiveness is the Qualcomm chip. Without the Qualcomm chip, you are nothing."

When the legal counsel said this, although there was a smile on his face, the words were like a knife stabbing into Lei Jun's heart.

Just as everyone on the Xiaomi side fell silent, Wilson continued to applaud.

"President Lei, it sounds a bit harsh, but it's the truth. After all, the truth is the knife that hurts people."

After speaking, he pushed a contract in front of Lei Jun.

"So, 40%—no counteroffers accepted. Of course, you can also choose not to sign."

Wilson stood up, walked to Lei Jun's side, and patted him lightly. This action was full of condescension, and it also made Lei Jun feel immense grievance.

"By the way, Xiaomi has never been the only choice, but your marketing ability has gained our recognition. But if you don't know what's good for you, we can also change people! Let me give you a little hint: we have already contacted another company. Smaller than you, but more obedient than you. It's called Ruiyi Mobile. Have you heard of it?"

Lei Jun's eyes constricted. Being in the capital, how could he not have heard of it? Moreover, he had also heard of Lu Mingyuan's glorious deeds!

That simple-minded, brawny second-generation heir...

Usually, bullying small businesses is one thing, but he didn't even bother to check who Transsion was. In the end, he directly lost a huge connection.

That's right, Lei Jun knew Lu Mingyuan's family. In the early stages of Ruiyi Mobile's establishment, there was help from Xiaomi; otherwise, how could that brat have poached people from him?

It was just that later, after confirming that the old Lu family had completely fallen, and after Xiaomi started going downhill, he stopped paying attention. He didn't expect it to become a means to check and balance him today.

"You use Lu Mingyuan to pressure me, but is there any comparison to Dami Company?"

"It's not to pressure you, it's to give you a choice."

Wilson continued to look at him with a smile: "40% stake, sign immediately. If you don't sign, we will invest in Ruiyi. By then, the priority supply right for the Snapdragon 801 will go to Ruiyi, and Xiaomi can just honestly wait in line."

After speaking, he stood up directly, striking a pose as if he wanted to walk out.

Since he came today, he was determined to eat up Dami Company!

Two puppets, not one can be missing.

Wilson had just walked out the door when he was invited by Xiaomi's people to a side reception room, saying they should wait for a while.

...

When Wilson entered the meeting room next door, the meeting room where Lei Jun and others were located had its door closed directly.

Lei Jun picked up the water cup on the table, looked at it for a long time, and a huge sense of grievance welled up in his heart.

Although the other party was here to give him money, taking this kind of money was truly stifling; he had never been so down and out before.

Seeing this water cup, he smashed it directly on the ground to vent the anger in his heart.

"Damn it! Do they really take me for a dog?"

"They call me when they want, throw me away when they're done, and they all use Qualcomm—damn it, they really treat me like a dog."

There were no outsiders in the meeting room, so Lei Jun didn't worry about all that messy stuff...

But Zhou Shouzi also frowned...

The more Lei Jun thought about it, the angrier he got, and one cup after another on the table went flying.

Lin Bin didn't think too much; he knew that Old Lei had suffered too many grievances during this period—no, not just during this period...

Since he started making mobile phones, the grievances had come one after another. If he didn't have strong mental fortitude, he would have broken down long ago!

After a while, he walked gently to Lei Jun's side and patted his shoulder:

"Old Lei, what do you think we should do?"

Lei Jun didn't speak again. He was constantly adjusting his emotions. After all, he really wanted to refuse out of spite, but such willfulness was not the level a businessman should have.

And refusing Qualcomm was suicide.

After all, it wasn't four years ago anymore, when any chip would do. Back then, the MediaTek MTK6573 could be used for many years...

But now, let alone using a single-core processor, if you use a MediaTek processor in a performance phone, consumers will immediately classify you as Vivo...

[Vivo: How rude!]

"40%, sign it. But we also need to add a condition: within three years, Yanhu must not interfere with Xiaomi's daily operations. The supply price of Qualcomm chips must be locked; they cannot increase prices at will, and we can provide guarantees on shipment volumes. I don't have autonomous choice in overseas markets..."

Lei Jun ultimately took a step back, but Lin Bin on the side shook his head again.

"President Lei, their determination this time is different from usual. They just want to use us to confront Transsion. Oh, this money is capital for the confrontation, not for profit, so no interference is simply impossible!"

"Then let's take a step back? Limited interference... but product pricing power must be in our hands."

Lin Bin thought about it and nodded; after all, this plan was still possible.

The other party was not trying to make money; on the contrary, they were very willing to let Xiaomi lose money. Their purpose was to strangle the domestic supply chain, and cheap Xiaomi phones could actually bring better results.

At this time, Zhou Shouzi nodded and reminded: "President Lei, should we do something about Lu Mingyuan?"
