    "Possibility of cooperation?" Zhou Liwen didn't expect that Baptiste would suddenly ask this question, but he was a little stunned.  However, Zhou Liwen then laughed: "Of course it is possible. As a world-renowned company, Siemens is very unique in many technical aspects. What's more, emerging companies like our Or always value cooperation with major companies.  Siemens is no exception." Using official clich¨¦s to answer the other party, Zhou Liwen secretly wondered what Baptiste meant by asking these questions.  However, what he said was correct. Siemens is a world-famous large enterprise that cannot be underestimated in the fields of electrical appliances, heavy industry, IT, and communications. Moreover, judging from the scale of the enterprise, although Or has developed rapidly, it is still far behind.  Behemoths like Siemens.  To use an example, the business empire of Siemens is like IHM¡¯s position in the IT industry. Although IHM has gradually withdrawn from the field of personal computing, some core technologies and patents are still in the hands of IHNR.  And in projects such as servers and mainframe computers, IHNR's status is untouchable.  You know, even the famous Microsoft relied on IHM to achieve today's results, and in Europe, Siemens, like IHM, is a veritable giant.  Baptiste smiled and looked at Zhou Liwen with a very sincere expression: "What you answered is just a very broad possibility, but I need a definite answer, Bavc, I hope this is a good relationship between friends."  It¡¯s a private chat between us, and it doesn¡¯t involve the company.¡± Zhou Liwen somewhat understood what the other party meant. After thinking about it, he asked directly: ¡°Baptiste, you know that the so-called cooperation is not just a few words, nor is it just a matter of words.  We can confirm it just by chatting with each other. Of course, for a company like Siemens, it would be great to be able to cooperate, but you also know that cooperation is based on mutuality. You don¡¯t know any specific situation.  Under the premise, I can't give you an accurate answer." "Of course I understand." Baptiste smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Do you know the BenQ company in Taiwan?" "BenQ company?"  After thinking about it, he asked, "Is it BE?" "That's right," Baptiste said, "As the father of smartphones, you should know more about the development of the mobile phone industry than I do. In the 1930s, Siemens had its own  The mobile phone department of Siemens even established a large-scale mobile phone R&D center in Shanghai, China. However, after the emergence of smartphones, for some reasons, Siemens transferred the mobile phone business to BenQ in Taiwan.  They came to produce and use the Siemens mobile phone brand, but you also know the result" Baptiste shrugged, showing an extremely regretful expression: "BenQ did a very bad job, not only did they not save Siemens mobile phones.  The decline in market sales has caused the Siemens mobile phone brand to decline. For this reason, two years ago, Siemens decided to terminate the cooperation and take back the right to use the brand, which resulted in the official withdrawal of Siemens mobile phones from the market.  It means that Siemens is now planning to restart the mobile phone project and start cooperation with Or on this basis?" Zhou Liwen asked.  "Absolutely." Baptiste smiled and said: "But this project is not a decision made by Siemens Group. It is actually my own decision." Zhou Liwen was stunned. He didn't understand what Baptiste meant by that.  You mean, it¡¯s not a decision made by Siemens Group?  But was it Baptiste's own decision?  Did he buy this project privately?  Or is it that Siemens Group has licensed this mobile phone brand to Baptiste just like it originally licensed it to BenQ Taiwan?  If this is the case, then why is Baptiste still talking about cooperation with Siemens?  Seemingly seeing the confusion in Zhou Liwen¡¯s eyes, Baptiste then explained to him.  After the other party explained the situation in detail, Zhou Liwen finally understood that the Siemens mobile phone department had become ineffective six years ago after suffering a failure. And when the Siemens mobile phone brand was licensed to BenQ Taiwan, the Siemens mobile phone department was just an empty shelf.  .  Two years ago, Siemens Group decided to terminate its cooperation with Taiwan HeimingQ, thereby withdrawing the right to use the brand, and the mobile phone department was also withdrawn, thus completely withdrawing from the mobile phone market.  Although Siemens's mobile phone business failed due to product market conditions, the Siemens Group was somewhat unwilling to accept the huge market for the mobile phone manufacturing industry. When it withdrew its authorization two years ago, the group internally proposed to rebuild the mobile phone department and allocate funds.  Views on another battle for big money.  However, this view was rejected when Nokia was defeated by smartphones, especially by several major smartphone manufacturers represented by Or, and was on the verge of bankruptcy.  Although Siemens is a huge group, its strength and business scope are much larger than that of Nokia. Even if it suffers a defeat in the mobile phone industry, it does not affect Siemens as a whole. But even so, Nokia's dismal performance in the mobile phone manufacturing industry  Continuous huge losses frightened Siemens' top management. Without full assurance, it was impossible for the board of directors toI agree with this plan and am willing to continue to shelve it and give up.  Baptiste¡¯s family has great influence in Siemens, especially his uncle, as the family¡¯s representative in Siemens, can be said to be the spokesperson of the Baptiste family.  But now, his uncle is preparing to gradually withdraw from management due to physical reasons. At this time, a replacement must be selected within the family, and this replacement is Baptiste.  As the new heir, although Baptiste once held important positions in the Delhetz Group, compared with overlords like Siemens, companies like the Delhetz Group are not worth mentioning at all.  If he wants to gain a foothold within Siemens and successfully take over his uncle's position, Baptiste must make some achievements.  This principle is the same as that of domestic politicians. If newly appointed officials want to secure their positions and make further progress, they must make some political achievements.  The same is true in the business world. Baptiste is very clear that although he has the support of his family and uncle, he must make some changes if he wants to have the corresponding status and rights at Siemens in the short term.  But it is not easy to make changes in a group like Siemens. The huge Siemens company is like a huge machine. Every gear and every part has its proper place. For the current operation and operation of Siemens' various departments,  Baptiste once spent a lot of effort to conduct research on the product situation, but the results frustrated him because he couldn't figure out how to change the current situation, and he didn't know where to start.  ¡°Moreover, Baptiste is now mainly responsible for the overseas sales department. In terms of his current position, he has no right to dictate other departments of Siemens.  If he does this, it will be equivalent to establishing a hostile conflict within Siemens. Not only will this be ineffective, but it will be a very bad choice for the future.  Because of this matter, Baptiste was very distressed, but he did not give up.  After years of business training, Baptiste is an extremely tough person and a keen businessman.  Just when he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, he suddenly thought of the mobile phone project that had been shelved by Siemens. Baptiste immediately used Siemens' internal relations to find all the information from the previous mobile phone department for research.  We conducted extensive investigations and research into all aspects of Siemens' chip factories, manufacturing foundries, and design departments, and finally focused on this project.  Baptiste discovered that although Siemens¡¯ mobile phone department has been closed, it still retains a simple departmental office. This may be a back-up for the board of directors¡¯ plan to return to the mobile phone manufacturing industry one day.  In addition, as a world-renowned electronics manufacturing company, Siemens has strong scientific research and manufacturing capabilities. Its chip factory alone is the largest in Europe.  What's more, the Siemens Group itself can produce world-class chip factory manufacturing equipment. This is Siemens' biggest advantage. Coupled with its strong technical reserves and personnel, if it restarts the mobile phone department, this will be a big deal for Siemens.  Simple things.  But simplicity is simplicity, but in the current smartphone melee situation, it is impossible for the Siemens board of directors to decide to return to the mobile phone manufacturing industry. Due to previous failures, the Siemens board of directors has concerns about the mobile phone manufacturing industry and would rather withdraw from the market than restart the project.  .  Now, if Baptiste wants to use this as a breakthrough, he must convince the board of directors and give enough confidence to the people on the board of directors.  As for where the confidence comes from, let's mention Zhou Liwen. If Zhou Liwen's Or company can cooperate with Siemens, given Or's position in the smartphone industry, the Siemens board of directors will definitely agree to restart the mobile phone project.  After listening, Zhou Liwen suddenly laughed. Although he thought it was a good idea for Baptiste to use mobile phone manufacturing as an entry point, how could he be sure that he would cooperate with Siemens?  Although Zhou Liwen's Or is already the leader in smartphones, he will cultivate a strong opponent to compete with him.  Because Siemens and Nokia are different, Nokia's main business is mobile phone manufacturing, while Siemens is a cross-industry giant. Zhou Liwen cannot control such a huge company at all, and he does not dare to take this risk.  "Baptiste, I don't think this is a good idea." Zhou Liwen smiled and shook his head: "You know, the market is so big. If Siemens enters this market, it will definitely squeeze the survival of existing smartphone manufacturers.  Space. As an OR company, unless I can directly obtain ownership of Siemens' mobile phone department, if it is just a technical cooperation, I am afraid I will choose some companies where there is no conflict between the products and me. Please understand this.  "
