This is the first time Zhou Shuo Shang has come to the headquarters of Telfort, which is located next to Arena Stadium, the home court of the famous European football giant Ajax.;

This stadium, which was only completed in 1996, seemed a little unknown before it could make its name. But more than ten years later, this will be a world-famous football holy land. Countless classic football games were born here, and Dutch stars went to the world from here.

Of course, it is not just sports, but also a gathering place for high-tech enterprises around the world in Europe. Not only are there electronics companies, but there are also many high-tech enterprises about aerospace, biomedicine, and material energy. As an old developed country, the Netherlands still has a deep foundation.

Telfort's office building has four small floors, and there is a striking glass curtain wall outside. The white and blue logo on the curtain wall is simple and unique, giving people a very refreshing feeling.

On the roof of the four-story office building, it has been transformed into an open-air cafe. The Netherlands, or Europeans of this era, are really good at enjoying life.

“The Arena Stadium will be a great place, and Dutch football will be glorious for it.”

Albert, president of Telfort, stood next to the railing on the roof, holding twice the red wine and nodding to Zhou Shuo.

"The Netherlands will definitely win its own World Cup, maybe it will be in this stadium."

Unfortunately, Zhou Shuo shook his head in his heart. If he remembered correctly, the Netherlands won the runner-up in the World Cup three times, but never won the championship. It's such a tragedy...

"Albert Saxon, you are Zhou Shuo from China."

Albert walked towards Zhou Shuo like a European aristocratic royal family. If Zhou Shuo had some understanding of the history of European aristocrats, he should know that the names contained place names like Saxony. Some of them were indeed part of the ancient aristocratic family.

"Hello, Mr. Saxon, first time meeting."

"Call me Albert, I think we will become friends, right?" Albert shook hands with Zhou Shuo and asked him to sit down at the coffee table on the rooftop.

Zhou Shuo's performance today is different from seeing Andrew. Andrew is CTO, and he is mainly responsible for technical issues, and he always focuses on the issue of technical implementation. However, Albert is different from Telfort's CEO, and he has to consider more non-technical issues.

"I heard Andrew say that Mr. Zhou is interested in investing in our Telfort company?"

This is Albert's most concerned issue. It is also his style of conversation. The hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment and construction projects will have a great impact on Telfort's current investment stability.

"No, it's not so much an investment, but rather a hope to open up the European market with your power." Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "We have no interest in Telfort's shares. Europe is too far away, and we have no foundation here. However, the OTN system and GSM base station network products are strategic development directions for Panhan Group. Mr. Albert should be able to understand it, right?"

Zhou Shuo did not hide his intentions in a sweet way. He directly explained his intentions. Although this reason for doing the market is a bit utilitarian, it is a righteous and open behavior, which makes people feel more likely to have a favor.

No matter how big the deal is, the methods are actually the same as buying vegetables in the morning market. Generally speaking, if a grocery buyer hears the vegetable seller say: Oh, this guy, you are the first to visit me today. I will give you a better lottery ticket!

The buyer will usually be glad at this time, ah. It turns out that I was his first customer. Didn’t he find a bargain?

Actually, maybe you are his tenth "first" client.

But this title of "first" customer can always easily win the favor of the customer, making him feel at ease that he can take some small advantages.

"Oh? You are willing to invest $300 million in a project to develop the European market?"

"Haha, if 300 million US dollars can be knocked on the European market, I think it will be very cheap." Zhou Shuo nodded and smiled.

Albert fell silent and looked at Zhou Shuo up and down, as if thinking that a young Chinese really spent a lot of money... No, was he so generous to spend 300 million US dollars?

In his impression, or in the vast majority of Europeans, Americans, even South America, India and the Middle East, their impressions of the Chinese remained in the late 19th century or the 1950s or 1960s. Although they knew that China had reformed and opened up, they still couldn't believe that this was a country that could produce high-tech products.

This is why many people complain that the country is exhausting the people and is in trouble, and that they have to host international influential events and exhibitions. Without these things to change the image of our Chinese people internationally, I really don’t know how many people will wear their mouths and cannot be seen directly by people, and I don’t know how many Chinese people will be discriminated against silently outside.

Eating McDonald's and drinking coke is a powerful person, and he can't afford to eat tea and eggs. These ordinary people can't enjoy it. If it happens to key personnel in important negotiations, it may make people unable to cry.

"Okay, that's the case." Albert shrugged and nodded, "But I'm afraid I still can't agree to you to build a gsm network plan at the same time."

“Uh—why is this?”

Zhou Shuo was a little surprised. The conditions on his side had been offered well enough. I really couldn't think of any other reason, which could make Albert say something to refuse. As long as the GSM network is attached, Fanhan Group will be willing to bear the $300 million project payment for three years delayed payment. This may not be found in the world!

"Mr. Zhou probably also knows that our Telfort company is just the weakest among the five major telecommunications service providers in the Netherlands. We have always adhered to the practice of differentiated operations so that we can survive in the cracks between the other four companies."

Albert said seriously: "Starting a 100g backbone fiber network can provide our customers with product experience far exceeding other companies, which is the advantage I value most. But for GSM Network, at present, once Telfort enters, it can only compete with the other four companies face to face. Without being fully sure, we will not take risks rashly. After all, GSM network construction is one thing, and the funds for operation and maintenance may not be less burdened."

"Add to the pressure of repaying $300 million in three years, we decided to work hard to develop the fixed network business for the time being."

After Albert finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Shuo apologetically. The 30 million installment delay payment was really generous. But even so, Telfort still rejected Zhou Shuo's kindness, which made him feel a little sorry for Zhou Shuo from the bottom of his heart.

But no matter what, this is the survival path for small companies.

When large companies have set out first and occupied the vast majority of the gsm wireless communications market, Telfort Company rashly entered the market and could only eat without leaving any drops. Compared with the size of the other four companies, Telfort Company has no advantage in technology, cost and service. Its traditional advantage is the southwest region of the Netherlands. Spreading gsm across the country at one time will only cause a heavy operating burden.

This burden is so heavy that it is not enough to even eat up all the profits of the fixed data business, which can directly drag Telfort down and go bankrupt.

Zhou Shuo was silent for a moment, and obviously had fully understood Albert's concerns. This situation was not beyond his expectations. If Telfort's GSM license was really developed so easily, it would not be sold without it.

No one dares to take over the license of Telfort, which itself shows the cruelty of the Dutch wireless communications market.

However, in the face of such a situation, Zhou Shuo not only did not feel depressed, but instead raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Hahahahahahahaha--"

Zhou Shuo's sudden laughter made Albert stunned and asked inexplicably: "Why did Mr. Zhou laugh?"

"Albert, your concern is not worth mentioning to me."

"Mr. Zhou's words are really incomprehensible-" Albert hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can't believe it. I don't doubt your ability, but maybe you don't know much about the dilemma facing our Telfort company..."

Zhou Shuo waved his hand and interrupted him. Without a diamond drill, he could clearly know that there was such a business opportunity in the Netherlands thousands of miles away? Is it because he has a global business intelligence network? Not, but because this Telfort company was a famous case of Huaxing Group's development of the European market back then!

Of course, it was already the 21st century that Huaxing Group won Telfort in the past. But the problems faced by Huaxing Group at that time were no different from those now, and it was still to help them build differentiated core competitiveness. The ideas used at the time can also be applied to the present, and the technical requirements are simpler.

He asked confidently, "Mr. Albert, have you ever heard of 'touching nter'?"

"Touch nter?" Albert made this sound with some difficulty, shook his head in confusion.
Chapter completed!
