Originally, the schedule of this trip to Europe was relatively loose.
After they finished the trip of Hanover Industrial Design Forum, they had at least one week free, and then went to France to meet with the expert group led by Gu Xueli.
This week, Wu Tao originally planned to take a holiday for the members of the delegation to enjoy the local conditions and customs of Europe.
After all, it's not easy to go out. You can't even have a chance to travel.
However, plans never change fast.
Who would have thought that after the forum, dozens of foreign representatives came to contact us.
In addition, the implementation of orders for 1 million lotus mobile phones includes a lot of preparatory work.
This includes the certification of various European standards of lotus mobile phones, the determination of network access license and other procedures, as well as the bargaining of the sharing mode between the two sides, which really has a lot of work.
Only by determining these, can we pave the way for the overseas expansion of Lotus brand.
Otherwise, we can only make a small fuss on the sales scale of hundreds of thousands of units as before, and we can't make a big deal.
Therefore, this became the top priority of Yuanqi science and technology delegation. Not only Xiao Zixia devoted herself to it, but also Tao Changxuan and Cai Bing.
After all, standard certification requires close cooperation in R & D.
Xiao Zixia will deal with the contact in the market, and Wu Tao will be responsible for the contact and talks in other aspects.
Tan Xiaofei made a list of all the consulting appointments of foreign representatives and handed them to Wu Tao.
Since she was praised last time, Tan Xiaofei is full of energy. Even Xu Sheng who cooperates with her can't catch up with her.
Wu Tao, who took over the list, glanced at them. They were all famous companies and organizations.
But everyone's time is limited after all, and for potential partners, we can't let each other wait too long.
Wu Tao pondered for a while, then returned the list to tan Xiaofei and said, "according to the relevance to the company's current business, make a new overall arrangement and try to meet all of them within three days."
Tan Xiaofei couldn't help taking a cold breath.
Originally, she gave the list to the boss to let him decide to eliminate some company representatives and only choose the necessary ones.
I didn't expect Wu Tao to fight so hard. He didn't want to miss a chance.
So during the week, everyone in the delegation was busy. Even the time for eating and going to the bathroom should be calculated carefully.
Wu Tao takes the lead, and others can't complain.
Until March 6, there was a light rain in the sky of Hanover.
The delegation embarked on a new journey with full harvest.
When they boarded the plane, Tan Xiaofei had begun to look forward to the romance and prosperity of the Champs Elysees in Paris, France. Even Xiao Zixia couldn't help but yearn.
As a romantic capital, Paris has always been a place to attract women.
To this end, Wu Tao specially chose to stay in Paris for one day, and then turned to nice to visit ETSI, the organization of GSM standard.
After coming out for so many days, Wu Tao began to feel homesick.
Especially standing on the street of the Champs Elysees and looking at the blonde in a hurry, I suddenly feel like a separated world.
Ten years later, twenty years later, this has always been the case here.
However, China has experienced earth shaking changes. So that he stood in this unchanging street and had the illusion that everything had never come back.
It was not until I met the expert group led by Gu Xueli in the afternoon that this feeling was completely diluted.
An old man and a young man walked down the street after dinner.
Gu Xueli couldn't help sighing, "there is still a big gap between our country and developed countries. Whether you can catch up in the future depends on the efforts of your generation. "
Wu Tao couldn't help laughing. "Grandpa, I'm sure I can catch up. The key is to see the length of time."
"I'm old after all. Of course, I hope it's one day earlier." Gu Xueli's tone was not very optimistic.
Wu Tao even heard it, "Grandpa, is something wrong?"
Gu Xueli waved his hand, looked back suddenly and sighed: "nothing, just because of some gossip, the top gave some pressure."
After talking, the topic changed: "do you think there is any problem with this contact with ETSI?"
"There should be some problems, but I don't think so." Wu Tao saw Gu Xueli's hard to let go, so he avoided the important and took the light.
In fact, there must be some problems.
The sudden rise of Lotus brand is bound to affect the interests of European competitors, such as Nokia, Alcatel and Ericsson.
As a standardization association, many of its members are from these large foreign brands.
To put it bluntly, the European Telecommunications Standardization Association itself is the product of mutual compromise among multiple manufacturers.
In this case, the representatives of relevant manufacturers are bound to obstruct and affect the cooperation between the two sides.
I stayed in Paris all night. The next morning, the two delegations, a total of more than 20 people, took the train to nice.
More than five hours of travel, in the process of beautiful sightseeing, passed unconsciously.
After leaving the railway station, ETSI's bus has been waiting at the door.
In charge of the reception was a French girl with golden Wavy Curls, about in her early twenties, named Isabella.
It's a French name.
Isabella seems to love to laugh. A smile makes people feel the sun blowing their faces. Coupled with those exotic eyes and eyelashes, Wu Tao found that foreign girls also have a side in line with their own aesthetics.
Along the way, listening to Isabella's voice and looking at her smile, Wu Tao's mind relaxed a lot.
Half an hour's drive, they arrived at ETSI's headquarters.
As the initiating group of 2G standard, ETSI is not big at this time, and even looks like a fake.
There are only two small buildings in the whole courtyard, and there are only 20 or 30 staff and permanent members, which is almost the same as the number of our own side this time.
The vice chairman headed by Frank is a thin Old French man. When talking, a pair of blue eyes always like to hide in the East and flash in the West. At a glance, people feel that they are not sincere enough.
After the meeting, everyone was hungry.
Frank said a lot of welcome words. At last, Wu Tao found that it was a quantitative meal similar to boxed lunch.
I have to say, it's a little shabby.
After lunch, Wu Tao wiped his mouth and said casually to tan Xiaofei, "it seems that ETSI doesn't pay enough attention to us. Does it not welcome us?"
Before Tan Xiaofei spoke, Isabella asked, "is there?"
Although the voice was a little strange, the French beauty who received him could speak Chinese.
"Well, what do you think?" Surprised, Wu Tao exchanged eyes with Tan Xiaofei, and then threw the problem to the other party.
Isabella thought seriously for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "I don't think so, because we eat these every noon."
Listening to this exotic Chinese, Wu Tao feels that his bones are soft. You have a big chest. You are reasonable.
"Isabella, how did you learn Chinese?"
"I learned it with Chinese students when I was in college. Unfortunately, I can only say, I can't write, so it's not good... ""
