Chapter 1211 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

Antono Smith tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door of Ertian's office with a smile on his face.

"President Ertian..."

As soon as he entered, Antono Smith saw that there were several Alcatel mobile phone executives sitting inside, all looking at him with the eyes of a strange thing. The feeling of looking at a monkey made Antono ·Smith felt like he was locked in a zoo.

At this time, Antono Smith choked back all the words that were originally full of stomach, and said to Ertian who was sitting in the main seat in a muffled voice, "President Ertian, I think there may be some Some misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstand?!"

Ertian sneered, "Smith Printing Company is the first company to take the initiative to terminate cooperation with Alcatel mobile phones!
Do you think the Alcatel P5 will fail? ! "

Over the past few years, Alcatel Mobile has kicked out some substandard mobile phone component manufacturers from the ranks of suppliers, but it is the first time that it has been kicked out.

Antono Smith looked embarrassed. He couldn't say that after the press conference that day, he saw that the wind direction was not right, and he was afraid that the Alcatel phone would take him into the ditch, so he decided to switch jobs ahead of time. Is it possible to say such a thing? !

"Smith Printing Company never thought of terminating cooperation with Alcatel mobile phones. It was just the result of the president of the marketing department of Smith Printing Company making decisions without authorization. He has now gone home!"

Antono Smith can only blame others, "President Ertian, Smith Printing Company is willing to pay for this misunderstanding, and we are willing to compensate Alcatel Mobile!"

Hearing this, Ertian and the presidents of the Alcatel mobile phone department couldn't help showing playful smiles, "Now Smith Printing Company doesn't need to compensate Alcatel mobile phones?!"

The legal department of Alcatel mobile phone is not a good stubble, the reputation is not as famous as the legal department of its brother ICQ, but it is by no means a vegetarian. It was because Alcatel mobile phone was too busy to take care of Smith Printing Company before. superior.

According to the agreement signed between Alcatel Mobile Phone and the supplier, if you really pick the words and sue because of the Smith Printing Company, the P5 production capacity has been affected, and Alcatel has suffered serious losses, then the Smith Printing Company will probably have to pay for the pants. clean.

Glancing at the time, seeing that it was almost time for the meeting, Ertian waved his hand, not interested in arguing with Antono Smith anymore.

"There are only two paths before Smith Printing!"

Ertian put on the posture of being the most powerful person in the mobile phone industry, which immediately made Antono Smith feel a pressure on his face.

"The first way is to wait for Alcatel's lawsuit to compensate for the loss caused by Smith Printing Company to P5. The amount of this compensation needs to be decided by the federal court, but it may not be less than 5% of the total revenue of P1! "

Hearing Ertian's words, Antono Smith's face turned green. It is conservatively estimated that the P5 will sell more than 4000 million units worldwide this year, or even more, according to Ertian's requirements. Compensation, Smith Printing Company has to compensate Alcatel mobile phone, at least 30 billion US dollars, which is clearly a scam, unless Smith Printing Company is sold to pay off the debt...

"This is impossible, this is extortion, the Smith family cannot accept such compensation!" Antono Smith said with a dark face.

Ertian is too lazy to argue with Antono Smith, "The second way is to accept the investment from Alcatel Mobile, Smith Printing Company can officially join the Alcatel mobile phone industry chain, and Alcatel Mobile invests 5000 million in Smith Printing Company $$ in exchange for 55% of the shares in Smith Printing Company!"

"You are extorting and robbing!"

Antono Smith couldn't help shouting, 5000 million US dollars is going to take away the controlling stake in Smith Printing Company, why not grab it.

Ertian looked at the angry Antono Smith, "Sorry, this is a notice, not a discussion with you. Of course you can choose to refuse, but I guarantee that next time, the conditions may not be as good as today. If there is a chance to meet!"

Elthian did it on purpose, and put forward such harsh conditions, intending to use Smith Printing Company as an example. If it is not dealt with this time, will other suppliers have to follow suit in the future? !

This time, the P5 is exploding. If the sales volume is not so popular, or one day, Alcatel mobile phone really declines, will other suppliers also tear up the agreement directly like Smith Printing Company and leave Alcatel? Carter lost his phone? !

Whether it's killing chickens to warn monkeys, or preventing problems before they happen, Smith Printing Company has to pay a heavy price, so that those companies that want to make small moves can give a warning, otherwise they will play like Smith Printing Company, Alcatel Mobile Phone It's not about being cheated to death.

"It seems that Mr. Antono needs to think about it calmly. Don't worry, you will have plenty of time!"

He glanced at the assistant standing at the door. As soon as the latter opened the door, the two Blackwater security personnel waiting outside acted like they were picking up chickens. Towed out.

After being thrown out of the office building, Antono Smith came back to his senses, and wanted to turn over and go back to reasoning, when he saw two Blackwater security personnel put their hands on the Taser stun guns around their waists , Just wait for Antono Smith to rush forward, and they will be able to fight back. They haven't even had a chance to use the Taser gun sent from the headquarters!
Glancing at the two Blackwater security guards bitterly, Antono Smith turned and left angrily. He still didn't believe that if he left Zhang Butcher, he still wouldn't be able to eat meat!
Alcatel is not the only mobile phone manufacturer in the world. He does not believe that there is no other mobile phone manufacturer willing to cooperate with Smith Printing Company. Their outer packaging printing is also famous in America!
As for the lawsuit against Alcatel mobile phone, Antono Smith is going to drag it down, but he still doesn’t believe it. In this three-acre land in America, Alcatel mobile phone can really cover the sky with one hand. If that kind of outrageous lawsuit for compensation Let the Alcatel mobile phone win, is there any king's law, is there any federal law?
Antono Smith's anger was worthless to the Alcatel mobile phone, perhaps it was just an insignificant episode, mainly because Ertian wanted to see what that brainless thing looked like.

As for Smith Printing Company, the legal department of Alcatel Mobile has enough means to deal with it. If Antono Smith "changes his mind" and accepts investment from Alcatel Mobile within half a year at the latest, this company may have a chance. vitality.

Otherwise, it may be very soon, within half a year at most, it may be declared bankrupt by the California Federal Court because it cannot pay the huge compensation, and finally packaged and compensated to Alcatel mobile phone, and Antono Smith has to bear the burden. If you have a huge debt, you will never get over it in your next life.

Antono Smith will soon see how much America's royal law and America's federal law are worth. This is the foundation of the American giant company, and Alcatel mobile phones are still good friends. At least it makes sense, the Wall Street institutions are the ones who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones!

Alcatel mobile phone is not rare for Smith Printing Company, but it must be taken down to warn those careful partners that if they don’t want to become the next Smith Printing Company, then they must not try to play tricks.

Jobs, who started from Cupertino, came to Chicago with a group of Apple executives and designers.

When he got in the car and went to Motorola headquarters, passing by a flagship retail store of America Telecom Electronics, Mr. Qiao saw that although there was no exaggerated scene of a 5-meter queue at the entrance of the retail flagship store when the P[-] was first launched, it was still visible to the naked eye. , I can see that America Telecom's electronic retail store is crowded with people, and people who come out of the retail store are holding a machine in their hands, and they can guess what it is without going up to look.

In contrast, other electronic retail stores and mobile phone stores are in stark contrast to America Telecom. Compared with the two, the former is a little bit too much, but it does seem a bit deserted, except for Nokia. It's okay, other mobile phone brands have been strongly impacted by P5 this month.

Just from the scalper market, you can get a glimpse into the mirror. eBay also has the scalper market. P5 is now a hard currency, and it is sold at a price increase. Compared with any data research agency, the nose is much more sensitive and does not make money. They are untouchable.

Seeing the strong performance of Alcatel's mobile phone, Jobs, who was in the car, did not extinguish his desire to make a mobile phone. Apple's entry into the mobile phone industry was a decision made by Jobs.
