Chapter 602 Grasping the Key to the Problem and Seizing the Opportunity to Resolve the Dispute

Seeing Wang Changhua's excited expression, Chen Zhe felt a pang of emotion.

This is probably the two-way journey of a normal relationship—the way I love you is also the way I want to be loved.

On the last day of the National Day holiday, Chen went to the China Mobile Group.

Previously, Wang Guohua, the top leader, in order to maintain internal unity within the Party Committee, or rather, superficial unity, would vaguely decline any offers of assistance extended by the Sui Dynasty.

Now that Wang Guohua has seen Chen deliver 10,000 mobile phones to China Unicom and China Telecom, he can't help but feel a little restless.

He had no deep-seated hatred or grudge against Su Hui, so there was no reason for him to reject someone else's "genuine" good intentions.

So this time, Wang Guohua did not refuse the matchmaking attempt by the middleman (from the CUHK group) and met with Chen Zhe in his office.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I've heard a lot about you before, and it's great to meet you today. You are indeed a young and promising person."

Wang Guohua smiled and shook hands, his words being quite polite.

These high-ranking leaders are like this: when they refuse to meet, they are as cold as a mountain.

The wind blowing down from the mountaintop could knock a person over.

However, if you have the ability to get him to "open the mountain gate," then his attitude will be kind, approachable, and friendly.

Chen Zhe made no mention of his previous rejections during his visits. He bowed slightly, grasped Wang Guohua's hand with both of his, and said humbly and sincerely:

"Mr. Wang, you flatter us. We have always looked forward to the opportunity to visit and learn from you. As an industry benchmark and leading company, we will repeatedly study and understand every reform and decision you have made."

This is just normal commercial hype.

That's the level Director Chen should be at.

Some people find it hard to say these kinds of things, but when you say them often, and in this kind of context, they will come out naturally.

Note that it is "going with the flow," so the other party won't feel awkward.

Wang Guohua smiled; he had heard this kind of talk many times before. He gestured for Chen to sit down on the sofa.

After pouring tea, the secretary lingered for a moment, but not hearing Wang Guohua's instruction to take notes, he turned and left.

However, there was a red telephone on the table, which Wang Guohua could call over his secretary to serve him at any time.

"Mr. Chen, I heard you were quite busy during the National Day holiday, and you successfully reached cooperation agreements with both China Unicom and China Telecom."

Wang Guohua said with a smile, his eyes narrowed and his face all scrunched up: "You young people are more enterprising."

"This could be a test, or it could be a rebuke!"

At this moment, Director Chen was highly focused, carefully analyzing every word Wang Guohua said.

Because the relationship between retrospection and movement is relatively complex, he must respond cautiously and take the opportunity to turn the "misunderstanding" in a positive direction.

Therefore, in a split second, one must come up with a reply that neither offends Wang Guohua nor fails to satisfy him.

Fortunately, this conversation was relatively private, and no matter what was said, Lu Yimin of China Unicom and Wang Xiaochu of China Telecom would not know.

Because once they leave this door, Chen Zhe won't recognize them.

Chen leaned forward slightly; in that instant, he was still carefully considering his words before speaking:
"Mr. Wang, you're really well-informed. A couple of days ago, we reached some agreements with China Unicom and China Telecom regarding contract phones."

"However, I think it was more like a rehearsal for a collaboration with China Mobile."

"Through these two rehearsals, we have become aware of our weaknesses. While addressing these shortcomings, we are also striving to prove that we have the capability and determination to serve top-tier operators."

Here, "top-tier operator" naturally refers specifically to China Mobile.

In this passage, Chen expressed two meanings.

First, emphasize the mobile's "undisputed leader" status to satisfy the other party's sense of superiority.

Second, proactively explain that the motivation for cooperating with other parties is to better serve mobile services and eliminate potential unpleasantness. "Hehe~"

Wang Guohua smiled slightly. He naturally knew that this was just a figure of speech, meaning to speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way.

However, he only wanted to give Chen a warning, so he valued Chen's attitude more than his specific remarks.

Chen responded well, and Wang Guohua also took the initiative. The real talks began, with the focus of the discussion revolving around "future trends in the communications industry and the mobile OMS system".

This system, whose full name is "Open Mobile System",

Based on the Android architecture, it also incorporates features from the iPhone and Windows Mobile operating systems. Chen Zhe had no idea which brilliant person came up with this idea.

There's even reason to suspect that this was an "insider" sent by China Unicom and China Telecom to deliberately disrupt China Mobile's development strategy.

The competition among the three major players in 2008 was fierce, so much so that even the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology couldn't stand it anymore and implemented a rotation system for the leaders of the three companies in 2015.

Thus, the once high walls of doors and the strict barriers of factions collapsed overnight.

However, as an "official," Chen Zhe could understand Wang Guohua's current thoughts.

The previous leader created Fetion, which achieved some success and positive reviews.

Then I need to come up with other "new things" to make it my own political achievement.

Therefore, Chen Zheming knew that the OMS system was just a cheap, unreliable system, but he still flattered him by praising it:
"...Mr. Wang, I must say that you have a truly far-sighted vision in your strategic planning. OMS combines openness with its own characteristics. This approach of drawing on the strengths of others is a testament to your wisdom as an industry leader in today's complex and chaotic mobile phone operating systems worldwide."

"It's no exaggeration to say that this innovation you spearheaded is destined to be recorded in the history of the industry!"

In the end, it did indeed "go down in history." Ten years later, when people talk about the development history of the communications industry, they all have to make fun of OMS.

Here, Chen subtly simplifies "movement" to "you," emphasizing Wang Guohua's personal contribution.

Wang Guohua nodded repeatedly as he listened.

He suddenly realized that if Chen Zhe weren't an entrepreneur, he would be a perfect secretary.

He is capable, speaks well, and can understand the leader's thoughts. Most importantly, he is young. In terms of "cultivation and succession", he is definitely a promising talent worth carefully nurturing.

It's a pity that he chose the business path instead of politics, and achieved such great success. Who would want to hire him as a secretary now?

"but……"

Chen paused slightly again: "Building a system is not something that can be done overnight. At this sensitive time, we at China Mobile must do something..."

So Chen repeated to Wang Guohua the reasons he had given to Lu Yimin and Wang Xiaochu two days earlier.

Wang Guohua was only willing to meet Chen Zhe because of this matter, so naturally he wouldn't refuse and accepted him with a smile.

Their relationship had progressed further, and feeling that the time was right, Chen crossed his arms and said somewhat "embarrassedly," "There's one more small matter I'd like to report to you."

"Oh, you say."

Wang Guohua knew perfectly well that it was most likely because of the reply.

He had expected this; now that he had met Chen Zhe and received benefits, this matter would definitely be brought to the forefront.

However, bringing it up doesn't mean we have to help solve it. It just means that, emotionally and in terms of impression, after the conversation we just had, Wang Guohua is less resistant to getting involved in this matter.

Chen Zhe was well aware that if Wang Guohua were to coordinate, 10,000 contract phones would not be enough; other conditions would have to be offered.

Logically, the whole event should be like this:

Wang Guohua's personal achievements > Group interests > Zheng Weizhong's achievements and interests.

If you grasp this principle, then everything is negotiable.
