Wang Zhang sometimes marvels at how Jiang Xu, despite his young age, can have such a brilliant mind.
All sorts of unimaginable tactics keep coming up.
Take, for example, this time Qiao Buwu planned to use patents to tie down Mei Zhu.
Initially, Jiang Xu intended to fight it out till the end.
But then he had a second thought, this was the behavior of a brute, too unwise.
So, he came up with a method.
He had Wang Zhang withdraw from Mei Zhu’s mobile phone division, giving all his shares to Jiang Xu.
Wang Zhang himself would start a new company called Mei Lan Technology Company.
The main assets of Mei Zhu mobile phones, including patents and all, were to be sold to Wang Zhang at an extremely low price in a packaged deal.
In this way, Mei Zhu mobile phones turned into a shell company.
Then Jiang Xu signed a contract with Qiao Buwu, making it a covenant between himself and the fruit company.
Whatever Wang Zhang wanted to do afterward was nobody’s concern.
He could also gain the right to use a vast number of the fruit company’s patents.
Later on, the newly established Mei Lan Technology Company could produce on behalf of Mei Zhu.
It would still brandish Mei Zhu’s label, while Mei Lan Technology Company would continue with R&D unnoticed.
One day in the future, it was bound to dazzle everyone.
Of course, to prevent any unexpected moves from Wang Zhang, half of the new company’s shares were placed in An Nuonuo’s hands.
Facing Wang Zhang’s teasing, Jiang Xu chuckled, “Dealing with them, you definitely can’t take the conventional route. Have you sorted everything out or not?”
“It’s all been taken care of,” Wang Zhang took out a document, “You just need your wife’s signature.”
“Good, a pleasure doing business.”
The next day, Jiang Xu met with Qiao Buwu as scheduled.
Both parties engaged in intense discussions.
Jiang Xu added a demand.
That was, he could re-license those patents from the fruit company unconditionally, deciding the pricing and everything himself.
Thus, Jiang Xu could use these patents to generate huge profits for himself.
Take, for instance, Nokia from his past life, which many thought had shut down, was actually living comfortably.
Just from collecting various patent fees, its revenue surpassed ten billion a year.
Earning a comfortable income while lying down.
However, Qiao Buwu was not willing to agree to this condition.
Thus, both sides embarked on very intense discussions.
The meeting room was as wild as a market where haggling with vendors was commonplace.
Jiang Xu maintained an uncompromising stance.
And Qiao Buwu wasn’t willing to agree either.
It would result in huge losses for his own company.
After over an hour of fierce discussion, a result was finally reached.
The fruit company would license 10,899 of its utility patents to Mei Zhu
Company at the ultra-low annual cost of twenty million dollars.
For a period of ten years.
Mei Zhu Company could also re-license those patents to other companies, but only within the domestic market.
Jiang Xu agreed to this as well.
The fruit company thought this wouldn’t cause them much loss, but they overlooked a very important point.
That was, Jiang Xu could license the patents to related companies abroad at extremely low costs.
Then have them open factories and companies domestically.
This way, he would profit, and he could also attract foreign investment for the country—perfect.
Of course, Qiao Buwu also made his demands.
That was for Mei Zhu mobile phones to no longer develop any patents related to mobile phones or communication.
Jiang Xu agreed to this too.
Next, it was time for the staff from both sides to perform various information verifications.
Jiang Xu gave Ally a knowing look and invited Qiao Buwu to sit at the coffee shop opposite the company.
Although Jiang Xu’s bait-and-switch had no major issues, for the sake of safety,
he still gave Ally three billion in funds.
In case some people from the fruit company discovered any issues during the review, they could be directly bribed with the money.
And compensated with a set of houses in a first-tier city domestically, thus ensuring foolproof security.
A certain magnate once said such a thing.
As long as the stakes are high enough, even a beggar would dare to pull down an emperor from his horse.
Let alone betray one’s own company.
As for the consequences that need to be faced, worst comes to worst, just migrate to another country.
With money, where can’t you go?
Ally was by the side, accompanying the auditors from these fruit companies.
The audits were exceedingly complex and meticulous.
Avi showed up too.
These two sister flowers standing together certainly had a considerable impact on the auditors.
One wore black stockings, the other wore nude stockings.
One was dressed like a mature woman, the other had a pure and innocent look.
Their voices were soft and sweet, continuously calling them ‘brother’.
It was unbearable, completely unbearable.
“Ah, brothers, have a drink of water.”
“Aren’t you guys tired? No need to check so carefully, we’re a legitimate company.”
“Let me dance a bit for the brothers.”
The majority of the auditors were men, about ninety percent of them.
For the women, Jiang Xu had arranged for some handsome guys from the company, and even hired a few male models.
Of course, not everyone fell for these tricks.
Then just give them money.
Cash, gold bars, diamonds.
In short, employ every trick in the book until you find the one that suits them.
Under this series of operations, the audit progressed very smoothly.
On the other hand, Jiang Xu and Qiao Buwu were enjoying their coffee, chatting and laughing away.
Both were harboring their own thoughts, grinning like foxes.
What Qiao Buwu was thinking about was, the next-generation fruit smartphone would definitely surpass Mei Zhu phones in terms of competitiveness.
When the time came for a comeback, he was sure it could become the highest-selling product in this country.
He could wait a year for that.
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, thought this guy seemed not to have many years left to live.
He definitely wouldn’t remind the other to go for a check-up or anything like that.
It wasn’t until after nine in the evening that everything was settled.
The contract was signed and completed.
The dust had settled.
A weight was lifted from Jiang Xu’s heart.
From now on, the threat of fruit phones in his territory would be significantly reduced.
But he still had to watch out for another giant: Samsung.
Although it was predicted that in seven or eight years, Samsung would withdraw from the domestic market due to battery issues,
Jiang Xu remembered that starting next year, Samsung’s development in the domestic market would be winding up, incredibly rapid.
Next, he had to strategize for mid-range and low-end phones.
Integrate the domestic industry chain.
As various ideas flashed through his mind, Jiang Xu smiled and saw Qiao Buwu and his entourage off.
Ally and Avi, the two sisters, came over, both letting out a deep breath.
They had been the most tired today.
Jiang Xu asked Ally, “Did you use up all the funds I gave you?”
“Yes, all used up.”
“Good, you both did well today. Take a paid vacation for one week, and your bonuses for next month will each be increased by one million.”
The two sisters were overjoyed.
To work for such a generous boss was simply too awesome.
After the two sisters left, Jiang Xu stretched languidly.
Very good, several crises at the company were now temporarily averted.
Sitting back at his desk, Jiang Xu was about to shut down his computer.
Suddenly, he froze.
