They didn't know why Pete respected Chen Nan so much.
But in the hearts of Qin Zhenggang and his son Qin Chuan, a sense of foreboding arose.
This negotiation was likely to be fraught with unexpected twists. After all, they had just offended Chen Nan. If Chen Nan said a few bad words to Pete, it would certainly increase the latter's bargaining power.
Without further thought, Qin Zhenggang nervously asked, "Mr. Pete, do you know Mr. Chen?"
Pete replied, "This is also my first time meeting Mr. Chen. Yes, it is thanks to Mr. Chen that Qualcomm has resumed cooperation with Huawei Group."
"If he hadn't been optimistic about Huawei's future, Qualcomm would not have lifted the ban on it."
"Of course."
"Mr. Chen is also representing Qualcomm in this negotiation with your company. I am merely a supporting character."
"Mr. Chen will make the final decision in this negotiation."
Boom!
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
What was going on? Why was Chen Nan the negotiation representative sent by Qualcomm? Why could he get Qualcomm to lift the ban on Huawei Group?
Recalling the unpleasantness during the previous negotiation and the threats made to Chen Nan and his party, Qin Zhenggang felt a wave of coldness surge from the base of his spine to the back of his head, chilling him to the bone.
At this moment, Chen Nan's voice rang out, "Pete, there's no need for negotiations. The current Huawei is not worthy of cooperating with you."
He had originally intended to give Huawei a chance. But, because of what Qin Chuan had done to him and Ye Wanzhi last night, and what he had said in the conference room earlier, he had seen the true state of Huawei Group. The company was utterly rotten, beyond redemption.
If that was the case, why bother cooperating with them? Did the current Huawei deserve his favor and expectations?
Pete's face was filled with regret. "Since Mr. Chen says so, then we shall return to the Western world!"
He knew Huawei must have offended Chen Nan, otherwise Chen Nan wouldn't have told them to return to the Western world. However, it didn't matter. The boss had instructed them to treat Chen Nan like an ancestor. Therefore, all he could do was express his pity for Huawei.
Chen Nan had acted with Huawei's best interests in mind, even going so far as to use his connections to get Qualcomm to lift the restrictions. Yet, Huawei had deeply offended him. This truly embodied the saying, 'My heart was set on the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch!' If it were him, he would also terminate the cooperation between Qualcomm and Huawei.
Qin Zhenggang's face was filled with panic, and he pleaded, "Mr. Chen, we were wrong. Please give us a chance to cooperate. We will certainly make amends for our past mistakes and do our best to satisfy you." As he spoke, a visible sheen of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Qin Chuan's face turned ashen. The fact that Chen Nan could unilaterally terminate the cooperation between Huawei and Qualcomm was something he had never anticipated. Had he known this earlier, even if he were given a hundred times the courage, he would never have dared to offend Chen Nan or become his enemy.
"Mr. Chen, you mentioned twenty-five percent of the shares earlier, right?" Qin Zhenggang said nervously, "We, Huawei, are willing to give Mr. Zhang thirty percent of our shares to purchase the battery technology in his hands."
"We only ask that you give us another chance. We truly wish to cooperate with Qualcomm!" Since being banned by Qualcomm, Huawei had been on a downward spiral, suffering losses year after year. Therefore, Qin Zhenggang needed to restore his cooperative relationship with Qualcomm. To put it bluntly, this was a matter of Huawei's survival. Even giving up thirty percent of the shares was worth it, as Zhang Wei's battery was a revolutionary breakthrough in the entire new energy field. It was worth thirty percent of the shares. Although Huawei's new energy vehicles only accounted for twenty percent of the entire new energy vehicle market, if they could resume cooperation with Qualcomm and incorporate Zhang Wei's technology, they would undoubtedly become the leader in new energy vehicles, sweeping aside all domestic and foreign car manufacturers.
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow. "If you put it that way, it seems we have something to discuss!"
Qin Zhenggang was overjoyed. "Mr. Chen, Mr. Pete, please come upstairs."
Chen Nan glanced at the red carpet before him and said sarcastically, "No, no, no. What kind of people are we? How can we dare to walk on your Huawei Group's red carpet? What if we soil it?"
Qin Zhenggang's expression changed. He quickly said, "Mr. Chen, what are you saying? You are a distinguished guest of our Huawei Group. This red carpet was prepared for you."
Chen Nan: "But we were just driven off the red carpet."
Thump!
A security guard in the distance turned pale and, terrified, collapsed to the ground. At this moment, Qin Zhenggang seemed to understand. He angrily shouted, "Fire this snobbish fellow! Now, immediately, at once!"
The security guard cried bitterly but was dragged away.
Chen Nan added, "Oh, and my cousin has been working in Huawei Pharmaceuticals for so long. The five million annual salary, company shares, and independent laboratory you promised her back then have not been fulfilled!"
Qin Zhenggang quickly replied, "Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I will have someone compensate Ms. Ye for all her losses over the years and give her five percent of Huawei Pharmaceuticals' shares. As for the laboratory, please don't worry. I will arrange for her to have a world-class..."
Chen Nan interrupted him, "Don't bother. Just cash it all out. Fifty million is not too much, is it? If it is, then sixty million."
Qin Zhenggang's face turned green. He desperately wanted to curse, but his life and death were now entirely in Chen Nan's hands. He could only agree to any demands Chen Nan made.
As Chen Nan walked, he asked, "Your nephew, through his connections, caused us to be homeless last night. How do you plan to address this matter?"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan's face instantly turned as pale as wax. He had thought that since Chen Nan could command a top technology company like Qualcomm, he would be a man of great vision. He never imagined Chen Nan would be so petty as to bring this up in public.
"Oh, and there's also a guy named Qin Yuan who colluded with him."
"I want an explanation for this."
Qin Zhenggang glared fiercely at his nephew and said, "Since this scoundrel caused Mr. Chen and his companion to be homeless, I will expel him from the Qin family, make him an outcast, cut off all contact with him, and withhold his allowance."
Thump!
Qin Chuan directly collapsed to the ground. He never expected his uncle to disown him. If he were expelled from the Qin family, he would be killed by those he had previously oppressed within three days!
"Mr. Chen, I was wrong. Can you please show mercy and spare me?" Qin Chuan crawled on the ground, hugging Chen Nan's right leg, his eyes filled with pleas and helplessness.
Chen Nan sighed lightly, "To be honest, I am a kind-hearted and handsome person."
"Generally speaking,"
"Even if someone offends me, I will give them a chance to reform."
"However, this opportunity is only available once a day."
"It's just that today, the opportunity to forgive others has already been given to Huawei Group."
"Hmm, how about this."
"I will forgive your actions yesterday and abandon the cooperation with Huawei?"
