477: Chapter 477 Successfully Hijacked! Lei Jun's Premonition

After speaking, Shen Fei's gaze remained fixed on Lu Weibin!

Lu Weibin immediately started overthinking; he was a grown man with normal preferences, and he certainly didn't have any penchant for men...

Moreover, President Shen was already married to the cultured and polite Zhang Mingzhu, so his visit here could only have one goal—himself!

"President Lu, I won't beat around the bush today. You are indeed a capable person, but the pond at Gionee is too small to contain a dragon like you. That is why I would like to invite you to join Transsion."

Lu Weibin hesitated for a moment; it was indeed for this matter.

However, he remembered another offer in his office.

Lei Jun had sent someone to invite him to take charge of the Dami Phone business. As long as he was willing to go, he would be given the position of co-founder, and all the previous online feuds would be disregarded.

As for Gionee, although he had 10 years of experience there... it was the easiest thing to abandon.

"President Shen, are you joking with me?" Lu Weibin chuckled to smooth things over. After all, as an insider, he was well aware of the friction between Transsion and Xiaomi.

"I never joke!"

"Perhaps our position isn't as good as Xiaomi's, but the authority is sufficient. Can we start a new video project? If President Lu still feels attached to Gionee, we can also acquire that brand."

These words made Lu Weibin look envious. What does it mean to be wealthy and imposing? This is what it means! Talking about acquisitions at every turn.

Yet, whenever he wanted to apply for a new project, he had to beg and plead with everyone.

"Of course, if you don't want to create a new brand, I can offer you the position of President of Transsion's Global Emerging Markets, mainly in charge of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America. You will be responsible for building the team, I will approve the budget, and I won't interfere with daily operations. You only need to ensure positive growth in these markets."

Lu Weibin's heart rate accelerated instantly; both of these conditions were better than what Xiaomi had offered.

After all, Xiaomi's overseas business currently only had the India market, and it was being crippled by local forces.

As for the domestic market... the shareholders had all become foreigners, and they were pouring in huge amounts of capital just to snipe the domestic supply chain.

If he joined at this time, it would truly be aiding the tyrant, and he would be branded a traitor!

"President Shen, I choose to join Transsion! But I want to be in charge of the domestic business!"

"And I need two weeks to handle my work. After all, although Gionee is a mess, they did show me appreciation, and I can't just abandon these brothers now that I have a good place to go."

Shen Fei nodded, thinking even more highly of Lu Weibin.

"Very well! I will give you half a month to handle these matters. As for Gionee, you can bring anyone you trust and who is capable over to Transsion. As for non-compete agreements, severance compensation, and even the joint liability issues you might be personally liable for, our legal and finance teams will take care of everything!"

Lu Weibin stood up immediately, looking at Shen Fei with gratitude!

This wasn't just poaching someone; this was recruiting a loyal soldier. After all, these conditions...

Of course, he knew what Shen Fei was recruiting him for—wasn't it to be a mouthpiece? From today on, he would be the most vicious "spokesperson" at Transsion.

...

Meanwhile, in Dami Company's conference room, Lei Jun and his core executives, having just received the second round of funding, were holding a strategy meeting.

The final batch of funds from Silver Lake Capital, which was 2 billion USD, had arrived.

Xiaomi's resources were unprecedentedly abundant. Whether it was Dami Auto, Dami Phone, or the failing Xiaomi Smart Home business, this year was the most promising one yet.

By now, everyone in the conference room had been discussing for a long time, and the foundation for global expansion had been planned.

That was to learn from the lessons of the India market, then expand the target from the India market to Southeast Asia, then from South America to Europe, and finally, relying on the background of Silver Lake Capital, enter the United States.

However, this plan required an excellent executor, which was Lu Weibin, because he, Lei Jun, needed to go build cars.

"Has the headhunter replied? Finalize with Lu Weibin as soon as possible!"

"Currently, Gionee is on the verge of collapse, so now is the best time for us to extend an invitation."

But before he could finish speaking, his heart suddenly sank, as if something important had slipped through his fingertips.

It felt empty, carrying an indescribable sense of weightlessness.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to him.

The last time it appeared was with Honor's 799 and 1999.

Every time this happened, bad news would follow immediately!

"Old Lei, what's wrong? You don't look well?" Lin Bin quickly asked.

Lei Jun came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand!

"Something is wrong!"

Lin Bin, who hadn't turned his head away yet, turned it back again.

"Lu Weibin? Ask the headhunter if anyone has intercepted the offer!"

"Old Lei, you're worrying too much! It's just one person; who else could possibly intercept him?"

"Go check, trust my intuition! The last two times I had this premonition, nothing good happened!"

Seeing Lei Jun like this, Lin Bin didn't say anything more, and the HR manager immediately went to make contact.

With the sound of a hurried mobile phone ringtone, the already tense conference room fell completely silent!

The HR manager instantly fell into a state of stupor.

"President Lei, it's confirmed. The headhunter sent word that Lu Weibin has just officially signed an employment agreement with Transsion.

The information they gathered is that he will serve as the President of Transsion's Global Emerging Markets, in charge of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America?"

"What?"

Lei Jun slammed his hand on the table. It was Transsion again! He knew that whenever his heart ached, nothing good would happen!

"Shen Fei is going too far. We just sold ourselves, got such a large sum of money, and were just preparing to go all out, yet he comes to snipe us again.

He turned around and poached Lu Weibin. This is intentionally slapping me in the face. No, I want to report this to the authorities; this is malicious competition, this is commercial sniping."

Everyone in the conference room lowered their heads; no one wanted to stand out at this critical moment.

After all, everyone knew that Shen Fei had become Lei Jun's inner demon. Although money could solve all worries... Transsion was the exception that couldn't be solved.

Lin Bin also paced around the conference room irritably. After all, Xiaomi was preparing to go all out, and Lu Weibin was very important to them. Yet, before they could even set sail, the person was snatched away!

Lin Bin paced for a long time before finally stepping out to smooth things over:

"President Lei, things have come to this, so getting angry is useless.

We are scouting for the head of the Dami Phone business unit, and Lu Weibin isn't the only capable professional manager in the industry.

At worst, we'll just spend more time building the team slowly."

"Build slowly." Lei Jun sneered!

"How many years has Transsion been rooted in Africa and Southeast Asia? I don't believe Shen Fei went to such great lengths to poach Lu Weibin just to manage these mature markets!"

"President Lei, what do you mean..." Department Head Liu De felt a sudden panic, and an ominous guess appeared in his mind.
