Chapter 369 Be a son first, then a father!
"Xijiao Hotel, arrive before noon?"
Lei Jun looked at the hung up phone with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Ever since he learned that Li Zhexi had flown to Shanghai from South Korea, he flew over from the capital with two senior executives of the company without saying a word, just to clear up the previous misunderstanding.
As soon as he landed at Hongqiao Airport, Lei Jun immediately called Park Liangdou, the head of the China region of the Li Group, to ask if Chairman Li had time. He had prepared himself to be rejected many times before coming.
There is no way around it. After all, the dignity of making mobile phones is given by suppliers.
If the Li Group really cuts off the supply of high-end screens, it can be said that Xiaomi will be on the brink of life and death.
"Mr. Lei, what's wrong? Could it be that Park Liangdou rejected our request to meet with Chairman Li Zhexi?" A Xiaomi executive saw Lei Jun lowering his head in thought and could not help but ask.
His face was filled with anxiety.
Hearing this, Lei Jun came back to his senses from his deep thoughts. Looking at the two nervous executives beside him, he smiled gently and shook his head, saying, "This time they didn't refuse us. Instead, they asked us to get to Xijiao Hotel before noon."
"Xijiao Hotel?" They both exclaimed at the same time.
As senior executives of Xiaomi Group, the two had often come to Shanghai before and naturally knew what the Xijiao Hotel represented. What they didn't expect was that Li Zhexi would arrange the meeting here.
No...it should be said that Li Zhexi himself is currently at the Xijiao Hotel, and the reason he saw them was because he just didn't want to move.
"Okay, there's no point in thinking about it now. We'll know what the situation is when we get there!" Although Lei Jun didn't know why Li Zhexi was in the Xijiao Hotel, he subconsciously felt that there must be something he didn't know.
Hongqiao Airport is not far from Xijiao Hotel, only two streets away. We got on the car arranged by Xiaomi's Shanghai branch and headed straight to Xijiao Hotel.
When they arrived at the entrance of Xijiao Hotel, they were still wondering if they would be stopped and not allowed to enter. However, what Lei Jun did not expect was that when he told them the villa he wanted to go to, the guard at the door let them in directly.
This scene made Lei Jun and the two executives feel even more heavy-hearted.
In their opinion, it was all because of Li Zhexi that they were able to enjoy this "exemption from inspection" treatment, and their originally confident spirit was weakened a lot as a result.
There is a feeling of being isolated and helpless in someone else's home turf.
With heavy hearts, the three of them followed the road signs and arrived at the villa that Park Liangdou mentioned on the phone.
"Mr. Lei, I don't know what's going on in my heart. I feel a little nervous for no reason." An executive looked at the villa through the car window, loosened his tie, and said solemnly.
"What are you afraid of? You're just being humble. Right now, the Li Group is indeed more powerful than Xiaomi. After five or ten years, who will be the son and who is the father? No one will be able to tell for sure!"
Be a son first, then be a father!
Things are changing, and Lei Jun is confident that within a few years, he can catch up with the market value of the Li Group or even surpass them.
When the two executives heard Lei Jun's confident speech, it was as if a fire was bursting out of their hearts, sweeping away their previous nervousness.
"The Li Group has only been developed more than ten years ahead of us. It's no big deal!"
"That's right. Sooner or later, Xiaomi will be able to become bigger and stronger!"
After the three of them fed each other a bowl of chicken soup, they opened the car door and got out. Before they took two steps, they saw a young man in a suit and two bodyguards walking towards them.
"Mr. Lei from Xiaomi Group?" The person who came was none other than Su Chen's bodyguard Chen Fei.
When he saw a car parked at the entrance of the villa, Chen Fei guessed that it must be Lei Jun who had arrived. You know, Su Chen had specifically instructed him to greet him at the door.
"Hello, I'm Lei Jun!" Lei Jun responded with a polite smile.
In fact, he was a little puzzled. Why was the person who came to pick them up not Park Liangdou, the general manager of the Chinese region, but this unusually young guy? Could it be that this was Li Zhexi's way of showing him power?
But seeing that this young man spoke authentic Chinese with a hint of northwestern accent, Lei Jun could tell at a glance that Chen Fei was an authentic Chinese. Coupled with his calm and confident temperament, it was clear that his background was not simple.
Fade Chen had been paying attention to Mr. Lei the entire time, so he naturally noticed the look in his eyes. However, he did not explain too much, and instead raised his right hand in the air to make a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Lei, please come in. The gentleman has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Please!" Lei Jun politely returned the greeting and walked into the villa.
He had many doubts in his mind, but he also knew that the answers to these doubts were in this villa.
Led by Fade Chen, the three of them came directly to the door of a private room. Fade Chen knocked on the door gently before pushing it open and motioning Lei Jun and the other two to go in.
The private room is very large, about 100 square meters. In addition to a large round dining table, there is also a sofa area and an indoor golf course.
As soon as Lei Jun walked into the private room, he saw Li Zhexi and a young man playing golf. There were several people standing next to them, including Park Liangdou, whom he was familiar with.
"What... is going on?" Lei Jun was completely confused. He had imagined what Li Zhexi was doing here before, but he had never imagined a scene like this.
Li Zhexi, the president of the Lee Group, the largest conglomerate in South Korea, was actually talking and laughing with a young man of about 26 or 27 years old. And it was not the care of an elder for a younger person, but a friendly communication between peers.
This made Lei Jun unable to recover for a while. He stood there in a daze, staring at Su Chen and Li Zhexi not far away. He was frantically thinking about what was going on and who that young man was.
"Mr. Lei." When Fade Chen saw Lei Jun standing at the door, he called out to him softly.
Lei Jun was startled and came to his senses in an instant. He nodded to Chen Fei embarrassedly to thank him, then strode towards Li Zhexi.
Su Chen and Li Zhexi also noticed the arrival of Lei Jun after being reminded by the people next to them. They put down their golf clubs, wiped their hands with the hot towels handed to them, and then went to greet Lei Jun.
"President Li, long time no see!" Lei Jun smiled and stretched out his hands towards Li Zhexi, his posture extremely humble.
Li Zhexi and Lei Jun shook hands lightly, then took their hands back and nodded perfunctorily to show their response.
On the other hand, Su Chen smiled slightly, took the initiative to extend his hand to Lei Jun, and introduced himself: "Mr. Lei, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
Lei Jun hurriedly shook the hand that Su Chen extended. Anyone who could chat and laugh with Li Zhexi must be from an important background. How could he dare to offend him easily?
"Hello, I'm Lei Jun, may I know who you are...?" Although he was full of doubts, he still maintained a decent smile on his face.
Li Zhexi on the side snorted and said impatiently: "This is Mr. Su Chensu. If Mr. Su didn't want to see you, do you think I would agree to see you?"
Li Zhexi's words shocked Lei Jun's heart. He also heard that Li Zhexi disliked him and that Su Chen was not simple.
The fact that Li Zhexi gave him face, allowed him to come to Xijiao Hotel, and addressed him as "Sir" made him realize that this young man named Su Chen was probably even more powerful than he had imagined.
"President Li, what you said is serious. Who doesn't want their group's business to be good? Is President Li really going to throw away the fat meat he has got?" "If there is any misunderstanding here, just talk it out directly. It's not a big problem. Don't you think so, President Li!"
Su Chen had also asked Li Zhexi about this before, and it was just that there were some minor errors in the communication between the executives of both sides.
As the top financial group in South Korea and a supplier of Xiaomi Group, the executives of the Lee Group naturally have an air of superiority and feel that Xiaomi's executives have to flatter them.
But Xiaomi's executives have all been with Lei Jun all the way, so they are naturally able to bend and stretch. If these executives can show their displeasure to the other party, something must have happened that made the Xiaomi executives angry.
However, Su Chen didn't care about what happened in between. He just wanted to take this opportunity to make good friends with this legendary figure.
As soon as these words were spoken, the room instantly became quiet, and Li Zhexi and Lei Jun both had different expressions.
Li Zhexi did not expect that Su Chen would actually stand up and plead for Lei Jun. According to his original idea, he was going to leave Lei Jun and others alone, let them suffer a setback or two, and then figure out who is the big king, and then resume the supply of high-end screens.
But now that Su Chen had spoken himself, it was naturally difficult for Li Zhexi to refuse.
After taking a quick look around and seeing the red wine on a large round table not far away, Li Zhexi immediately had an idea.
He walked to the big round table, picked up a bottle of decanted red wine and a glass from the table, looked at Lei Jun and said, "Since Mr. Su has spoken personally, I must give this face, but... Mr. Lei should also give me some face!"
Li Zhexi shook the red wine in his hand, his meaning was very clear, he wanted you, Lei Jun, to drink some red wine as an apology, and the matter would just pass.
The high-end display screens supplied to Xiaomi Group will also be supplied normally as before.
Seeing this, Su Chen frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lei Jun stride up to Li Zhexi, take the red wine and glass from his hands, and directly pour a full glass.
"President Li, I wish our future cooperation will be even more pleasant!" After saying that, Lei Jun picked up the wine glass and started drinking.
He drank the full glass of red wine in just a few gulps. When he was about to pour the second glass, Su Chen suddenly reached out and pressed the bottle.
"Chairman Li, you have seen Mr. Lei's sincerity. Let him save some space and have a few more drinks with you during dinner. What do you think?" Su Chen said to Li Zhexi with a faint smile on his face.
Li Zhexi could see that Su Chen just wanted to support Lei Jun. If he continued to pursue the matter, it would be embarrassing for everyone.
"Hahaha!" Li Zhexi laughed heartily, "Just as Mr. Su said, Mr. Lei must have a few drinks with me when the time comes!"
Although he didn't want to offend Su Chen, it didn't mean that Lei Jun would be in his eyes. Li Zhexi had already made plans that during the meal, he would make sure Lei Jun drank more to make up for the apology wine.
"Of course, of course! I must drink with President Li!" Lei Jun responded with a smile and nodded, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
You have to know that people like Li Zhexi will basically not change what they said, especially when they said it in front of another person of the same level. If they regret it later, the only one who will be embarrassed is Li Zhexi.
Because of this, Lei Jun felt quite reassured about what Li Zhexi said.
At the same time, Lei Jun was very grateful to Su Chen. If he hadn't come to his rescue, he didn't know how many times he would have had to visit him before he could get the high-end display screen done.
What Lei Jun couldn't understand was that he and Su Chen had never met before, and their companies had no intersection, so why would he help him? This was what he wanted to figure out the most.
"Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there's still some time before dinner time, so why don't we sit down and chat first." As the host, Su Chen naturally held the initiative and quickly shifted the topic to other things.
The three of them sat down and started chatting. At first, no one knew what topic to talk about, so they just chatted haphazardly.
It was not until they turned the topic to the future development trends of mobile phones that Li Zhexi and Lei Jun suddenly became interested and talked enthusiastically. Su Chen could hardly get a word in and could only be a "nodding" audience member on the side.
What’s interesting is that Li Zhexi didn’t take Lei Jun seriously before, but after this conversation, he found that Lei Jun was a man with real ideas. If his Xiaomi Group grows stronger, it may become a major threat to their Li Group.
But when he thought that Xiaomi relied entirely on suppliers headed by their Li Group for survival and had no core technology of its own, the slight threat that had just arisen in his heart gradually dissipated.
As long as Xiaomi does not walk its own path, no matter how huge the Xiaomi Group is, it is only built on suppliers. As long as these suppliers stop cooperating, the Xiaomi building will disappear in an instant.
Time passed quickly and it felt like half an hour had passed. Lei Jun and Li Zhexi were still a little reluctant to leave. If Su Chen hadn't urged them to eat, they would have continued chatting.
"Everyone should come and have a taste of the skills of the state banquet chefs at the Xijiao Hotel. I specially asked them to arrange chefs from the eight major cuisines!"
Smelling the fragrance in the air, even Li Zhexi, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, moved his throat subconsciously, obviously his appetite was aroused by the fragrance.
Don't just stand there, start eating now, or it won't taste good if it gets cold!" Su Chen picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of dish closest to him.
As the host Su Chen picked up his chopsticks, everyone else started eating, and the private room gradually became more lively.
Lei Jun did not break his promise and would pull Li Zhexi to drink from time to time. This guy was very honest and would pour himself half a glass every time and drink it in one gulp.
The dinner lasted for nearly an hour. After it was over, Su Chen originally wanted to take a walk in the surrounding garden together to digest the food, but Li Zhexi directly asked to leave.
Su Chen also understood what this old fox wanted to do, and was anxious to return to South Korea to manufacture the 10nm chip technology.
She pretended to try to keep Li Zhexi twice before reluctantly sending him to the door of the villa. After all, she didn't know when she would meet such a "big enemy" again.
After watching Li Zhexi and his group leave in the car, Su Chen turned his attention to Lei Jun who was standing aside.
"Mr. Lei, are you interested in taking a walk together to help digest your food?"
Lei Jun's expression paused slightly. He knew that the real show was just about to begin. After all, they had no relationship with each other. If he helped him solve such a big problem for no reason, there must be some "plot".
He doesn't believe that there are any pie falling from the sky in this world.
As for what is inside, I think only Su Chen knows.
"Take a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine. I have always had the habit of taking a walk after a meal. Mr. Su, please!" Lei Jun nodded in response.
Whether it was because Su Chen helped him solve this big problem, or because of Su Chen's mysterious identity, Lei Jun attached great importance to him.
More friends mean more paths, not to mention a road as fast as Su Chen's!
