"How is Bonnie now?"
"You only care about her now? Your Highness, I don't think you've ever called her on your own initiative..."
Hearing the Viscountess's words, Barron said with a little embarrassment:
"I called her before, but Bonnie said she wanted to calm down, and she stopped answering the phone after that..."
"Is this why you always have beautiful women around you in New York?"
Although Chris said so, it was the first time she knew that her cousin didn't answer Barron's calls. Bonnie had never told her about this before, and she couldn't help but secretly hate her for not fighting for it - of course, this was directed at Bonnie.
Barron had just learned that the gossip reports about him in New York had actually spread to Europe - this could be considered that he had underestimated the level of attention he was attracting.
He hugged the Viscountess from behind and placed his hands on her belly:
"Why does your belly not seem too big..."
"Humph, it's only been three months."
But now Chris is wearing loose clothes. If you don't look closely, you will only feel that she has gained a little weight, but her belly is not particularly obvious.
After all, she hadn't been with Barron for a long time, especially after she knew she was pregnant, she had to be more careful. So at this time, feeling Barron's breath beside her, the Viscountess's breathing became a little rapid.
She grabbed Barron's hand and slowly moved down...
London's weather is like this, it often feels damp...
Just when the Viscountess was a little unsteady on her feet, she sat down on the sofa and looked up at Barron who was standing in front of her.
Well, this height difference is just right, I just need to lower my head slightly...
"hiss..."
…
"Huawei is currently looking to cooperate with British Telecom (BT). We have been accepting BT's certification since last year. If we pass their certification, we will be able to take on BT's communications equipment orders."
After hearing the report from O2 Telecom CEO Barry Trelles, Barron looked at him and asked:
"So what is the result of our evaluation of this Chinese company?"
"Huawei has completed some mobile communication equipment projects in Asia and Russia, but there are no related projects in the UK..."
Barry Trelles picked up a document and said:
"Our technical team has checked Huawei's projects in Russia with their cooperation and believes that they fully meet our requirements. In addition, their quotations are at least 40% lower than those of other manufacturers, which is indeed very tempting."
Currently, O2 Telecom's network in the UK is mostly 2G, and some areas have been upgraded to 2.5G network. Starting this year, Vodafone and Orange began to deploy 3G networks in the UK.
In order to compete with it, O2 Telecom naturally needs to follow up and start deploying 3G networks.
At the same time, in the French and German markets, through the previous price reduction strategy, the number of O2 Telecom users has exceeded 4 million, which makes the total number of O2 Telecom users in the UK, France and Germany exceed 20 million.
In France and Germany, O2 Telecom will directly deploy 3G networks, thereby directly taking over their high-end markets at a relatively low price!
In terms of broadband business, Huawei's offer is even 50% lower than that of their local telecommunications equipment giant Marconi!
Whether in the UK, France or Germany, O2 Telecom's broadband equipment needs to be upgraded or newly deployed.
Therefore, in the future, O2 Telecom will invest heavily in the deployment of communication equipment.
So, on the premise that Huawei's quality can meet the needs and its quotation is much lower than that of other manufacturers, it is the most suitable choice for O2 Telecom.
In fact, O2 Telecom CEO Barry Trelles also has concerns about cooperating with Huawei.
According to the report of O2 Telecom technicians who visited Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen, they would give a high score to the Chinese company's hardware, but they still have some doubts about the overall delivery capability of the business. To be frank, they might even give it a low score.
Let me give you an example. Right under the noses of O2 Telecom experts, a Huawei employee, without taking any anti-static measures, pulled out a circuit board from the rack being debugged, put it under his armpit, and walked away...
Therefore, they believe that Huawei still needs to make large-scale improvements in the standardized operations of its personnel.
"These are problems, but we can give them a chance to talk to Huawei first and tell them that we can give them part of the entire project first, but the prerequisite is that it meets our specifications."
In fact, Baron knew that for Huawei, it would not be difficult to meet their requirements as long as they were willing to give them a chance.
Anyone who has used equipment imported from Europe and the United States will have a deep understanding of one thing: when the equipment breaks down and the other party needs to send an expert to solve it, it is really a torment. Not only do you need to provide the best conditions, but you also need enough patience to wait.
In fact, even in Europe, the situation is not much different.
Many people envy the high wages and benefits of European workers.
But you have to know that correspondingly, when you enjoy the other party's service, you also need to pay higher fees and wait more.
Chinese companies like Huawei are able to ensure that when equipment fails, their engineers will arrive and solve the problem in the shortest possible time.
This is very important for O2 Telecom's user experience, and it is also an important reason why Barron chose to cooperate with Huawei - saving money and providing high-quality after-sales service, you deserve to occupy the market.
When Chen Chaohui, general manager of Huawei's UK company, received a call from O2 Telecom and learned that they wanted to discuss cooperation with Huawei, he was almost in disbelief.
At this time, Huawei was still working hard to pass BT's certification and enter their shortlist of suppliers, but it did not expect that O2 Telecom, ranked among the top three in the UK, would take the initiative to discuss cooperation with them at this time.
This cooperation negotiation immediately attracted the attention of the entire Huawei company, because after they first came to O2 Telecom and contacted the other party, they learned that the next project they needed to negotiate might be a large project covering the British, French and German markets, with a total investment of more than 1 billion pounds!
If this project can be won and O2 Telecom is satisfied, it can be said that Huawei is likely to open up the entire European market.
Therefore, Huawei's president, Mr. Ren, personally came to England and led his elite troops to participate in the negotiations with O2 Telecom.
O2 Telecom's requirement is that Huawei provide a quotation for the upgrade and new deployment of their mobile communication equipment and broadband equipment in the UK, France and Germany. If the two parties reach an agreement, O2 Telecom will first hand over the French 3G and 2G network and broadband deployment projects to Huawei.
After they complete the French project and pass the acceptance of O2 Telecom, they can continue to hand over the remaining projects in the British and German markets to Huawei.
At the same time, Huawei will become O2 Telecom's preferred cooperation supplier.
