    There is no free lunch in the world. This sentence is a Western proverb. There is also a similar proverb in the East, that is, the steamed buns will not fall in vain.  Mr. Corot knows very well that Zhou Liwen is a businessman and a leader among businessmen. If Siemens does not show some sincerity, the cooperation between them will be just a joke.  What's more, Zhou Liwen gave a good explanation for the first question he just raised. Although Siemens is a stronger company than Or and is well-known in various fields such as electronics, electrical appliances, construction, transportation, etc.,  But in the smartphone industry, without Zhou Liwen's help, it would be almost impossible for them to succeed.  "Haha, why do you think I need something from Siemens?" Unexpectedly, Zhou Liwen replied with a smile and shrugged, looking at the somewhat surprised Mr. Corot, including Baptiste  , Zhou Liwen said: "Bell-Nokia United Company is an open company. As long as it meets the company's requirements, any company can apply to join the new Symbian system and application software platform. Don't you know, just a few days ago?  South Korea's LG Company has already signed this agreement. For you, you only need to formally apply like LG Company and then confirm the terms of authorization. " "Is that simple?" Baptiste?  His eyes widened in disbelief. Due to industry reasons and the news channels between Europe and Asia, Baptiste did not know about the cooperation between LG and Bell-Nokia. Even Coro  The gentleman did not notice the news hidden in the corner.  However, since Zhou Liwen said so, then this matter is absolutely certain. With Siemens' energy, it is almost a matter of seconds to find out.  "Of course" Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded.  In fact, Zhou Liwen is a little envious of Siemens' technological reserves. As a huge multinational company ranked among the top in the world, Siemens has the most advanced technologies in the world in many aspects.  But Zhou Liwen also knew that Siemens also took these technologies very seriously and would never exchange them easily.  What's more, Zhou Liwen's main industries are three major categories. The first category is of course the smartphone communications industry, the second category is the IT industry, and the third category is the financial industry.  In addition to these, the real estate industry, logistics, and express delivery industries are no longer Zhou Liwen's main industries. Over the years, Zhou Liwen has begun to continuously reduce the equity in these industries and gradually hand over the industries to actual operators.  For example, the logistics and express delivery industry are now in charge of Guo Tao and Situ. Zhou Liwen is no longer even the chairman of the board of directors and is just a major shareholder.  In the real estate industry, after one-third of the equity was sold to Wei Zi, Jun Ge and others, most of the remaining shares were given to Zhou Bei's foundation. Zhou Liwen himself only held a small part of the formal equity.  .  Although the real estate company has made a lot of money from the development of several major projects, it has also made this golden sign a hit, especially in the overall urban transformation of Heijiang. Zhou Liwen and Richard made a lot of money together.  One vote.  However, as the real estate market becomes more and more crazy, and the land prices in various parts of the country continue to rise, real estate development has gradually begun to deteriorate from the initial commercial behavior.  In order to avoid future troubles, Zhou Liwen decisively began to withdraw from it. Anyway, he should have made almost enough money from it. Instead of being remembered by others or causing some trouble, it would be better to leave early.  Of course, Zhou Liwen¡¯s withdrawal from the real estate development company does not mean that he has completely withdrawn from the Chinese real estate market.  You know, judging from the current situation, the real estate boom in mainland China can last at least five or six years. What's more, even after 214 years, although the country has taken a series of measures to deal with the high housing prices in the real estate market, it will still be  The effect is not very good. Even the purchase restrictions in several major cities have only slowed down the phenomenon of crazy rise in housing prices, but have not fundamentally solved the problem of curbing real estate abnormalities.  Withdrawing from the real estate development company, Zhou Liwen used the Shanghai Bank he controlled to directly enter the upstream strata from real estate developers, that is, the bank's capital flow to the real estate industry and the mortgage industry.  In fact, Zhou Liwen was planning this project when domestic real estate was just beginning to pick up, and now it's the harvest season.  Compared with those real estate developers, banks are the real winners of this feast.  Whether it is local government, real estate developers or final home buyers, every link is inseparable from banks.  The bank is doing karate, putting the money from the left pocket directly into its right pocket, and then moving it from the right pocket to the left pocket. Every time it moves, the bank can make an unusually huge profit. Use unpleasant words to comment.  , Suppose the government relies on selling land to obtain GDPR growth and income, real estate companies use rising housing prices to develop and earn high profits, and home buyers grit their teeth and take out all their savings or take out loans to buy houses.  So in all aspects, the bank quietly obtained a huge proportion of benefits from everyone.  ShanghaiShanghai Bank is now the domestic commercial bank second only to the four major banks. Its business outlets have spread all over the country, and its overseas expansion is also extremely fierce. With its upcoming listing on Wall Street, Shanghai Bank¡¯s assets will further expand. If it were not considered  With some factors, Zhou Liwen can even build it into a giant that surpasses the four major banks.  In addition to Shanghai Banking Corporation, Alipay, No. 1 National Bank of the United States, and New York Investment Bank are all indispensable links in Zhou Liwen's financial empire.  On the surface, they work independently, but in fact they are all under Zhou Liwen's control.  As for the trading company, it has long been independent and is in charge of professional managers.  In recent years, with the rise of the domestic real estate industry, the trading company has basically cooperated with Li Haifeng, so Li Haifeng is more responsible for the actual management. Zhou Liwen did not even have a name, and just gave it away as a dowry for his sister.  .  It can be seen that judging from Zhou Liwen's current core industry, he does not have more energy to develop in other directions.  Although Siemens' technology is good, it is of little use to Zhou Liwen, unless Zhou Liwen plans to directly enter the electronic and electrical industry, or other industries related to Siemens.  But for Zhou Liwen, he had no interest in these at all, so Zhou Liwen just resold the technologies he got from Siemens in exchange for some money.  In this case, why not sell Siemens to Zhou Liwen?  You know, Siemens is still very powerful in chip technology.  Although, when it comes to chips, most people will think of Intel. If they are more professional, they may also think of Motorola.  But don¡¯t forget that there is another company in Europe that is famous for its chip manufacturing, and that is the Siemens Group. Siemens may not be as good as Intel when it comes to computer chips, but Motorola is unique in communication chips, and can be found in some program-controlled chips and high-end technologies.  Among the required chips, Siemens is very famous.  Maybe, if we establish a good relationship with Siemens, we can borrow their power and channels in this regard in the future.  Zhou Liwen knows well that you can't put your eggs in one basket, and he does this just in case for the future.  Furthermore, Zhou Liwen spent so much effort to create the IOB system and APP application software store, and then through the Bell-Nokia company layout, came up with the new Symbian system. Its main purpose is to master smartphones.  operating system to achieve an undefeated position in the future.  Zhou Liwen is very clear that as long as his plan is successful, even if Or's smartphones are eliminated from the market in the future, he will still be able to make waves on the smartphone stage relying only on these two major operating systems.  In the afternoon, Zhou Liwen rejected the cooperation between Siemens and Or with some small thoughts. If Siemens also joins the ranks of Or's IOB system, it will inevitably cause strong uneasiness in the entire smartphone market.  The hat of trust may be deliberately placed on Zhou Liwen's head. Once this hat is put on, it will not be a good thing for Or Company.  What's more, Zhou Liwen's layout in the Samsung Group is almost complete. When the Samsung Group succeeds, Samsung mobile phones will belong to the IOB operating system. By then, the IOB operating system will occupy the entire smartphone 8 market. In this way  The terrifying ratio made Zhou Liwen feel scared just thinking about it. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? will be the??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By directing Siemens and Bell-Nokia, and adopting the new Symbian system, will on the surface form a situation of three countries standing together.  The IOB system is the leader, the new Symbian system is the rookie, the Android system is closely followed by the two, and then there is the Microsoft system that is just a passerby on the side. This is the best market structure.  This market structure also made it easier for Zhou Liwen to grasp the balance of power, just like a superior emperor, appropriately balancing power among his ministers.  ¡°Baptiste is not from a technical background, and he was previously engaged in pure marketing and sales, so he doesn¡¯t understand the meaning of Zhou Liwen¡¯s actions.  But Mr. Coro is different. He is a scheming guy, not to mention that he has not been just a freeloader at Siemens for so many years. After thinking about it deeply, he somewhat understands Zhou Liwen's real intention.  "Thank you very much for your help. I think Siemens will achieve good cooperation with Bell-Nokia United Company." Mr. Corot smiled and extended his hand to Zhou Liwen.  After the two questions, he felt that there was no need to ask Zhou Liwen the other questions he originally planned.  What's more, he also secretly admired Zhou Liwen's thoughtfulness in pushing Bell-Nokia to cooperate with Siemens. This did not affect the proportion of the overall smartphone operating system. In the eyes of the outside world, the cooperation between the two European companies was also  It's a matter of course.  Of course, Mr. Coro still doesn¡¯t know Zhou Liwen¡¯s overall layout for Samsung at this time. If he understands Zhou Liwen¡¯s real final plan, he will definitely be even more emotional.  "Then I also congratulate you, Mr. Corot." Zhou Liwen also smiled and shook hands with the other party, and then nodded to Baptiste on the side: "Mr. Bell and Baptiste are old friends. I think Baptiste is completely  You can take charge of this matter or even intervene directly.?What do you think about your company¡¯s mobile phone restart project?  "Of course no problem," Ke Luo said happily, feeling that Zhou Liwen was too considerate.  What Zhou Liwen said was tantamount to telling them that he would send a message to Siemens through Bell-Nokia Joint Company and name Baptiste as the most suitable candidate.  With this factor, Coro's training of Baptiste as his successor in the Siemens Group will be half the result with twice the result. When Siemens' new smartphone market succeeds, then Baptiste, as the biggest contributor, will be able to go very smoothly.  He succeeded himself as the family's agent in the Siemens Group.  "Baptiste was not stupid either. Hearing the conversation between his uncle and Zhou Liwen, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth with joy.  At this time, he regarded Zhou Liwen as a messenger sent by God. With Zhou Liwen's support and the cooperation of his old friend Bell, he would have the opportunity to show off his skills in the Siemens Group.  The two parties did not discuss the subsequent specific arrangements. Given Zhou Liwen's identity and status, it is impossible to go back on such a promise, and the same is true for Mr. Coro.  Let the people below handle these tedious little things. As long as people like them talk about the general direction, everything will be fine.  By the time the three of them walked out of the lounge together while chatting intimately, the reception outside was almost over, and the next step was a small salon.  At this time, all the guests who were not formally invited had already left one after another. Seeing Lin Yaxuan talking to Count Herbert not far away, Zhou Liwen said hello to Mr. Corot and the others, and then walked quickly towards her.  "Are you done talking?" Zhou Liwen nodded with a smile, and then smiled to express his gratitude to Earl Herbert, who specially took time off to take care of his wife.  "Let's go, the salon will start soon, and I will introduce you to a few friends." Earl Herbert is indeed a considerate old nobleman. Zhou Liwen's wife is so beautiful, and Zhou Liwen is not here  She was alone. Although this kind of reception was relatively famous in the aristocratic circle, there was no guarantee that some aristocratic children would come to show their hospitality.  In order to avoid Lin Yaxuan's embarrassment, coupled with the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, Earl Herbert noticed Lin Yaxuan not long after Zhou Liwen went to the lounge, so he came to take care of her specially to avoid some inappropriate things.  .  The salon was not far from the reception venue. Following Earl Herbert through the corridor, they came to a hall that looked like a study.  After entering, there are several sofas arranged in an orderly manner, surrounded by bookshelves as high as the ceiling, and there is a burning fireplace against the wall, which looks very comfortable.  Walking in, Zhou Liwen saw at a glance that Sir Charlie had arrived. They had a good chat at the reception. Seeing Zhou Liwen and his wife arriving, Sir Charlie smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to signal to Zhou Liwen.  Due to poor health, Mr. Corot will not participate in this salon. As for Baptiste, although he is Mr. Corot's successor, he is not qualified to attend such an occasion, so he is not here.  Holding Lin Yaxuan¡¯s hand, Zhou Liwen nodded to everyone present to express his gratitude, and then sat down on the double sofa next to Sir Charlie.  Earl Herbert was sitting opposite him. After they sat down, an old aristocrat in his sixties, wearing a dress and bow tie, picked up the small bell on one side and shook it. Soon a waiter helped to close it.  door.  This old aristocrat is the owner here, Mr. Barak, and the Barak Apartment is named after him.  At the previous cocktail party, Earl Herbert had already introduced Zhou Liwen and his wife, so Zhou Liwen was no stranger to him.  "Okay, gentlemen, welcome to Barak Apartment. This year's salon looks very good, and we have two distinguished guests joining us. Now let me introduce them to you." Mr. Barak cleared his throat.  He said, then smiled and nodded to Zhou Liwen and his wife, introducing the identities of Zhou Liwen and his wife.  At this time, Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan stood up at the same time and bowed slightly to everyone to show courtesy.  Everyone present, whether they knew Zhou Liwen or not, or had heard of Zhou Liwen but had not spoken to him directly, applauded at the same time. The friendly anger made Lin Yaxuan, who was a little nervous about such a scene, calm down slightly.  After the introduction, Mr. Barak announced that the salon officially started.  The word salon originally originated from the Italian word "tt", which originally meant a room decorated with art. The word entered France in the 17th century and was originally the name of the gallery of the Louvre Palace. "Salon" is the French word u.  The transliteration of "" in French generally means a larger living room, and specifically refers to the luxurious living room in the residence of the upper class. Later, it gradually refers to a place to talk about art, play cards and chat while appreciating the crystallization of art.  Similarly, it can also be interpreted as a way for some friends to gather and discuss.  Unlike the previous cocktail party, the atmosphere in the salon seemed more relaxed and relaxed. The people sitting here were all polite nobles or members of the upper class. Everyone was whispering and laughing, and some people were looking for familiarity.Friends talked about some interesting anecdotes, and even two old nobles who loved chess took out their chess boards and started playing against each other, attracting onlookers to watch.  As for Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan, it was their first time to participate in the salon activities of European aristocrats. They seemed a little restrained at first. However, Sir Charlie first chatted with Zhou Liwen for a few words about the topic of the previous cocktail party, which made them gradually adapt to such a situation.  atmosphere.  (I have something to do today, so I¡¯ll send you a big chapter!
