Xiaomi Headquarters.
In the Ministry of Commerce reception room.
CEO Lei walked in from outside with a face full of smiles.
In the reception room, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner had been waiting for a long time.
The foreigner was about fifty years old, and his suit and leather shoes were complemented by meticulously styled hair.
After the two met, they shook hands.
CEO Lei clearly knew this person.
"Smith, I didn't expect you to come to me first." CEO Lei laughed heartily as his secretary quickly made tea and brought it over.
Smith nodded, picked up the tea, took a sip, and smiled contentedly: "I came all this way just for this, hahaha."
This guy was obviously a China expert.
CEO Lei said with a smile: "Here for the diamonds, right?"
Smith sighed: "Old friend, tell me honestly, did your partner get their hands on a diamond mine?"
CEO Lei nodded: "That's right, and they even discovered colored diamonds, but after that batch of colored diamonds is processed, it will be sent to the Saudi royal family, so don't even think about it."
"Damn it, am I one step too late?"
"Uh-huh, how about I arrange for you to meet them tomorrow?"
"No hurry." Smith shook his head, then continued to ask: "Do you have a sample of the diamond phone? I'd like to take a look."
"Apple sent you here?" CEO Lei chuckled.
Smith wasn't embarrassed and said directly: "Tim couldn't bring himself to do it, so he asked me to come and order one for him, and some big stars have also received the news and want to order some too."
"You're quite busy, hahaha." CEO Lei said with a smile.
Tim is the current CEO of Apple.
He has no psychological burden about using Xiaomi's diamond phone. Xiaomi's products are said to be compatible with any Apple phone.
Xiaomi didn't just shout the slogan "Leading the way" for nothing. It would be strange if he didn't pay attention to Xiaomi.
At this time, Apple hadn't been affected by the country yet, and they were still true businessmen.
"I was still expecting him to come to me personally, but if he doesn't come, then so be it. But my friend, I have a plan."
"What plan?" Smith looked at him questioningly.
"I want to secretly invest some money to make a movie about the diamond phone to increase its exposure. I don't think the influence of the game competition alone is enough!"
"Not enough?" Smith frowned. After thinking about it carefully, it really wasn't enough.
After all, it was only used as a prize for the competition.
It didn't reflect the luxury and expensiveness of the diamond phone.
After all, the market price was only one million US dollars.
And in this era, if you want to make a name for luxury goods, there is no doubt that making a movie is the most useful.
CEO Lei said with a smile: "I'll take care of the domestic theaters. The Western ones will depend on your connections."
Smith smiled wryly. He didn't mind making money together and using his network.
Moreover, he didn't come here without any purpose.
The sudden appearance of the diamond phone actually caused a crisis for the seven major diamond giants behind him.
They are the most anxious now.
CEO Lei didn't hide the existence of the diamond mine and directly confused Smith.
In addition, the source of the diamond channel was hidden in China, and even if the seven major diamond giants wanted to use dirty tricks against Li Yun, it was impossible to achieve.
After all, this is China!
The country with the best public security environment in the world!
So if they can't deal with him, they can only win him over for cooperation.
And the diamond phone channel on the surface is Xiaomi, so Smith can only come to Xiaomi to find out information.
Unfortunately, CEO Lei won't give him a chance.
Tencent will also keep it a secret in the future. After all, they also want to rely on Li Yun's diamonds to make a fortune in the international luxury market.
CEO Lei revealed to Smith that his partner had a diamond mine in his hands in order to make his words more confident.
The purpose of revealing that Saudi Arabia had placed a large order was to make the seven major diamond giants feel an even greater sense of crisis.
But Li Yun, who was on the tip of the needle, would not prick the balloon they had worked so hard to inflate.
Let them be careful and protect the diamond scam they had been running for a hundred years in this sense of crisis.
Then, in this wonderful balance, everyone can make money from people all over the world.
This is Li Yun's real purpose.
CEO Lei probably guessed his thoughts, so he didn't hesitate to get involved. After all, if Li Yun made money, he could also get a share.
Moreover, there was also Tencent, the domestic Internet giant that was about to reach a cooperation agreement, helping Li Yun stand in front and resist prying eyes from the outside world.
So Smith's purpose was destined to fail.
However, cooperation was definitely going to happen. After all, the main buyers of the luxury products that Li Yun and they were cooperating to promote would be the Western market in the future.
Smith was also a shrewd person.
When CEO Lei proposed making a movie to promote the diamond phone, he knew that his attempt to find out the purpose of the real owner of the diamond through CEO Lei's mouth was going to fail.
Everyone here may have a question.
Why didn't he think that the boss behind Shancheng Guizuan Beer was the mastermind behind the diamond mine?
Of course he wouldn't think so, unless Li Yun admitted it himself.
Otherwise, in his eyes, Li Yun was just one of the partners in that mysterious diamond channel.
His influence wasn't even as great as Xiaomi's diamond phone.
Moreover, he represented the will of the luxury goods industry giant, the seven major diamond giants. If he wanted to make contact, he would definitely first contact CEO Lei of Xiaomi, the owner behind the diamond phone that had already been made into a luxury item.
Beer? There were too many foreign beers.
The seven major diamond giants could also play marketing tricks like Li Yun's.
It's just that the winning rate was definitely not as high as Li Yun's Shancheng Guizuan Beer.
But consumers on the foreign side would definitely buy it.
It's just that they were reluctant to do so.
In their minds.
Luxury goods cannot be combined with cheap, fast-moving consumer goods for bundled sales.
That's disrespect for luxury goods.
Arrogant Western capital.
Sometimes commercial wars are lost because of the arrogance that is engraved in their bones.
"Who are you planning to invite to star in this movie?" Smith asked tentatively. Although he didn't get the answer he wanted and was a little disappointed, if the capital behind him acted as investors in making a movie to promote the diamond phone, they would definitely be very interested.
"How about Jackie Chan?"
Smith's eyes lit up. If Jackie Chan starred in it and interspersed some foreign stars in it, it might really be able to promote the diamond phone well.
"I think we really need to cooperate!"
