Chapter 418 Mavie's Lunch Auction

The entire contract ceremony was progressing very smoothly. With the confirmation of lawyers from both parties, Ma Wei finally signed his name on the contract and paid Huawei Group 10.58 million US dollars to acquire 15% of the shares of their wholly-owned subsidiary, Huawei Mobile.

After that, Mawei called Google CEO Sergei and asked him to arrange related matters for strategic cooperation with Huawei.

The whole process was flowing and seemed as simple as drinking water. However, everyone present knew that the seemingly simple operation was all different from person to person. To be precise, they all vary from person to person. If it were someone else, let alone a phone call, even if you call ten thousand, you wouldn't have half a cent of money...

Soon, news of Google's cooperation with Huawei immediately spread throughout the country. Various media outlets, including internationally, were also reporting on it, and speculating why Google found a mobile phone company that was unknown and only established for less than a year as its partner.

Other mobile phone brands on the market, such as lg, sanx, Sony, Ericsson, and T, have so many mature brands that they don’t choose, but they choose a mobile phone company called Huawei.

Some European interview programs and real-time news specially invited experts to interpret Google's approach. But obviously they are doing useless work because they cannot see the future clearly.

In addition to the media's extensive reports, the Internet is also full of liveliness. First of all, all domestic netizens are excited and proud of this cooperation.

"Wow? Huawei phones, why do I seem to have never heard of it? It has defeated so many competitors, it feels so amazing!"

"I know that Huawei Group is making communication equipment. Google is really interesting and has chosen our domestic companies. From now on, we will have domestic smartphones! And it is ahead of other big brands."

"I didn't expect that our domestic companies can defeat so many competitors and cooperate with Google. Currently, there are only Google's smartphones, and it is very important who can become the second one."

...

The reason why Chinese people are excited is naturally that Google mobile phones, and the attitude of future generations, subverted the traditional market dominated by Nokia and Motorola. In particular, the Google smartphones they produce have become a luxury product that young people and rich people have been sought after. Every time they arrive, they will be snatched up. The prices of scalpers and Taobao have always been stable at 8,500 yuan, which is still high.

As for pride, Huawei is the second company in the world that can produce smartphones. This honor is very worthy of the pride of the Chinese people. After all, at that stage in 2003, to be honest, the domestic manufacturing industry, technology industry, R&D capabilities, and independent innovation all require foreign technology.

It is already very good for people to let domestic companies conduct OEMs. Not to mention that they are directly authorized by Google to allow Huawei to produce its own smartphones.

This made other mobile phone companies, especially well-known brands such as Sanx, Sony, Ericsson, etc., feel deeply envious and jealous. They have no idea what Google has to do with Huawei and why they prefer this company so much.

The person involved, Ma Wei, was too lazy to care about the jealousy of the outside world. At this moment, he suddenly received an email from his subordinate. The general content was that if Christie's Auction House in the UK wanted to auction something from Ma Wei, he needed his consent.

Christie's Auction House, the old translation of Christie's Auction House, is one of the world's famous art auction houses and ranks among the top three in the world. It has a long history of nearly 240 years.

Its items bring together artworks, watches, jewelry, cars and wine from all over the world. Ordinary items cannot reach their sight.

Ma Wei opened the email curiously, thinking that something of his own would be at Christie's Auction. Why did he never know...

However, when he opened the email and was about to read it carefully, Mawei suddenly realized that the items that Christie's were going to auction were actually his own lunch time.

To be precise, it is to let a group of rich people bid for the opportunity to share lunch with him. During the meal, the other party can talk to Ma Wei and have the opportunity to learn a lot of very valuable information that is very helpful to the future and life.

Of course, it was decided to say or not, or anyway, that the initiative was in Mawei's hands, and there was no intention of forcing it.

Looking at the email sent by Christie's Auction, Mavie's first reaction was to think of "Buffettel's Lunch". According to past life memories, in 2019, Buffettel's lunch voucher amounted to nearly 5 million US dollars. Each meal time usually does not exceed half an hour.

In other words, the world's top investors can even make money by eating. And within half an hour, people willingly paid 5 million US dollars.

Investors like Buffettel, professional speculators, can make many followers make a fortune by talking about the future trends by saying which stock is optimistic about. It is natural that lunch prices are expensive.

But Mawei thought to himself that he was just an entrepreneur, a Russian arms dealer. I don’t know who would buy the lunch coupon for the auction. If the auction ended up failing to be sold, it would be a shame to throw it into the international market... It seems like it’s a bit digging, and it feels like he’s cheating...

Ma Wei was seriously in front of the computer, ww. After thinking carefully for more than two minutes, he replied humorously in the email, "Okay, but please try not to let it fail, thank you."

The reason why he agreed to this request was that Mawei mainly considered that Christie's auction house was not an unfamous auction. When they considered the goods, they would definitely investigate the market demand. If no one had this interest and did not meet a certain standard, they would not shoot themselves in the foot.

20 minutes after the email was sent, Ma Wei, who was lying on the bed watching TV, playing with his mobile phone, and browsing his circle of friends, suddenly received a call from the UK.

"Hey, hello! Is it a respected Mr. Mavie? I am from Christie's in the UK, and we have received your reply email. So I would like to ask you, where do you choose for lunch? Is it a Pushkin restaurant in Russia? Or a nostalgic restaurant in the Soviet Union, or a White Rabbit restaurant?"

On the phone, a British woman asked Mavie respectfully. The three restaurants she mentioned were the three top restaurants in Russia. Mavie has been to these. Sometimes, she even invited the chefs of the restaurant to her home to cook delicious food for entertaining guests or enjoying them by herself.
