Chapter 273 Mukesh's Intervention
Chapter 273 Mukesh's Intervention
"Annil said they had an agreement, so there shouldn't be any problems in the short term."
"Old Lei, we've known each other for so many years."
What use do you think an agreement is in the face of a market worth tens of billions?
Lei Jun shut his mouth.
"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just reminding you that the real pitfall of Reliance isn't just Anil, the bigger pitfall is Mukesh."
However, as you said, we can try collaborating, and then conduct an interview to gauge Chuanyin's reaction.
"I understand, slow down a bit more."
…………
On July 15th, just as Lei Jun arrived at his destination, Lin Bin suddenly sent another message.
"Mr. Lei, something's come up. Is it a convenient time to talk?"
Leibusi glanced at Anil, who was talking to his assistant. He stood up, walked to the window, and called back.
"Old Lin, what's up?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Bin put the phone to his mouth, trying to keep his voice down.
"Old Lei, we just received news that someone is inquiring about our chip procurement contracts with Qualcomm and MediaTek."
"Who? Have you found them?"
Leibusi frowned, his anger rising instantly. He had already been forced to go to the Indian market, and was prepared to deal with these cannibals.
But the telepathic message still wouldn't let him go...
They also want to target the Indian market.
However, Lei Jun really wronged Shen Fei this time, and Lin Bin personally cleared Shen Fei's name.
"We found out. It's Reliance Industries, but not Anil's people. They're Mukesh's people."
Lei Jun tightened his grip on his phone for a moment, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mukesh was well aware that he had originally intended to use the other party to secure some benefits for the rice industry.
During the days of discussion, he kept releasing information, but the other party never sent anyone to contact him. He assumed that the other party was more interested in Transsion or other Chinese companies.
But unexpectedly...
"Sure?"
"Sure.
We've become major clients of Qualcomm and MediaTek recently, they told me that privately.
Mukesh's representatives asked: "How many chips are purchased for rice each year? When does the contract expire? Are there any exclusivity clauses?"
These issues made Lei Jun nervous once again.
"Anything else besides chips?"
"Yes, almost all the core components. The Dongfang factory also sent people to inquire, and they found out about the same thing."
Lei Jun suddenly felt like having a cigarette, but after glancing at the people still busy over there, he put his hand back down.
"Old Lin, what do you think he's planning to do?"
"Mr. Lei, you know better than I do." Lin Bin's voice was heavy, filled with worry about the future of this cooperation. "He's trying to steal the deal."
Since we joined this rabble, Anil has become more than just one person who has followed us.
One side wants to use us to cultivate local businesses, while the other side wants to poach our supply chain, thus preventing this collaboration from happening.
Or perhaps once our joint venture with Anil achieves that, he can replicate it 1:1.
Lei Jun suddenly closed his eyes in silence.
He suddenly remembered Liu Qing's warning: "Old Lei, be careful of Anil's brother, Mukesh. That's the real crocodile."
He didn't pay much attention at the time, or perhaps he was confident he could beat his opponent.
Now, he's starting to care.
"Old Lin, have the legal team review the contract again to see if there are any problems. I'll see if we can use this condition to try and get some more benefits."
……
After hanging up the phone, Lei Jun turned around.
Anil had finished explaining things and was looking at him with a smile.
"Mr. Lei, what happened?"
Lei Jun remained expressionless, and after letting out a soft sigh, he finally spoke.
"Mr. Anil, someone is hindering our cooperation."
They inquired about the supply chain of the pancake from Qualcomm and Dongfang Factory.
They didn't deliberately hide their identities; the source we traced was Reliance Industries.
Anil's expression changed, and he became even angrier.
"My brother's people."
"It should be!"
Anil lit a cigarette in front of Rebus as well.
He considered himself no less capable than his brother in business, and the two of them shared a common trait: greed. They both wanted to kick the other out of the company and then take over the other's share.
This time, naturally, is for the same reason.
"Mr. Anil, do you think Mukesh will take action against Rice Trust?"
If that's the case, I need to reconsider our cooperation, since the rice company can't afford to retaliate against them.
"It's not just a feeling, it's a certainty." Faced with Rebus's retreat, Anil was not angry, but instead acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Mr. Lei, do you know what kind of person my brother is? He has never lost in his life. Xinshi Telecom originally belonged to him, but it was given to me when the company was divided. He has always wanted to take it back."
He returned to his seat and picked up his teacup.
"If Rice Trust grows too big, they will definitely try to take it over. And they won't wait 5 years; they'll start laying the groundwork now."
Lei Jun's worried expression became even more pronounced. The Indian market seemed to be more complex than he had imagined. No wonder Transsion had been laying the groundwork but hadn't officially entered the market yet.
That's it!
"And it's not just him, I'm doing it too."
I am also very interested in his mines and other businesses.
Five years is enough time to do a lot.
Lei Jun looked into his eyes and suddenly understood. Neither side took the 10-year agreement seriously; both were trying to steal the other's business, but out of consideration for face, they didn't break the unspoken agreement.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Anil, I need to reconsider our cooperation."
"The ratio is 70/30, with rice making up 70% and us making up 30%, and the conditions are the same as before."
But you need to get the rice company's total shipments in India to reach 100 million within three years.
Before that, I won't interfere in any internal affairs; I just want Reliance Telecom's market share to increase to around 30%.
"no problem."
Remus agreed without hesitation.
After all, he believed that with budget phones, he could definitely achieve the goal of shipping 100 million units within three years.
"If you can do that, I guarantee no one can take this joint venture away from us."
No one is allowed to play pranks.
Back at the hotel, Lin Bin was already waiting in the room.
There was a computer and documents on the table; he had clearly been busy.
"Old Lei, we've found more."
"The competition between the two of them is more intense than we imagined."
Mukesh's people have not simply gained access to our supply chain.
They're still digging.
"The HR told me that several senior executives recently received job offers from a new company, who asked them if they would be willing to work in India."
Finally, Lin Bin looked at him and once again had second thoughts.
"Old Lei, should we give up and just sell all our initial investments? That way we can lose less money."
Lei Jun shook his head!
"Old Lin, in India, Anil is a small crocodile. Mukesh is a big crocodile. But regardless of whether they are big or small crocodiles, we have to deal with them because this pond belongs to them."
As for entering the South American market, let's wait and see!
But just as he was preparing to return to China, he suddenly received bad news.
Transsion S3 is really here!
