"Ma'am, do you have an appointment?" The girl at the front desk looked at Suguo and said politely.

"No." Su Guo said.

"I'm sorry, if you don't have an appointment, you can't disturb the chairman." The girl at the front desk said.

"I'm the person in charge of Haisha's charity night. I really need to find your chairman. It's about last night's charity night. I'm here to thank Marching Ant Company."

No matter what, Suguo had to see Chen Mo today, otherwise the Marching Army Ant Company would cause trouble, and she would be finished.

"Is that so? Please wait a moment." The girl at the front desk looked at Suguo and picked up the landline.

"Assistant Xiaoyu, there is a lady who wants to see the chairman."

"Ma'am?" On the other end of the phone, Xiao Yu was slightly puzzled: "Did you say who she is?"

"She said she was the person in charge of Haisha's charity night and came for last night's charity night."

"Is that so? Tell her to wait, I'll go down now." Xiao Yu hung up the phone, thought for a while, and left the desk.

The incident at the charity party last night was not pleasant.It's just that Chen Mo has a wide heart, and he only donated the ambulance, and didn't participate in the donation, so he didn't investigate deeply, and made himself unhappy.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of Haisha Charity Night came here today.Under the guidance of the girl at the front desk, Xiao Yu soon met Suguo.

"Hello, what can you do with our chairman?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I'm Su Guo, the person in charge of the charity night. I'm here for last night's charity night. I'm here to thank him for his generosity. By the way, I'm sorry. Can I meet him?"

Suguo looked at Xiao Yu, feeling a little familiar.Xiao Yu is too young, like a fresh graduate.It's just that such a young girl doesn't seem to have a low status in the Marching Ant Company.

Xiao Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Mo's number: "Chairman, Su Guo, the person in charge of the charity night last night, wanted to see you, and wanted to thank and apologize in person."

"Let her go back. I'll pretend that what happened last night never happened. Just thank you and apologize. Tell her that charity should look like charity."

"Ok."

Xiao Yu put down his phone and looked at Suguo.

"Ms. Su, the chairman said that what happened last night, he pretended it never happened, and he will not pursue it. No thanks, no apology. He asked me to tell you that charity should look like charity."

"Can't I talk to him face to face?"

Suguo frowned, and the last sentence clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, not because of other things, but because of Gao Wenwen's arrangement.

"The chairman is busy and has no time for now." Xiao Yu kept a smile on his face.

"Then when will your chairman be free, make an appointment, and I'll come over again."

"I don't know about this either. The chairman's time is not our arrangement." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Then tell your chairman, I'm really sorry about what happened last night. This is my business card with my phone number on it. If your chairman has time, I hope to meet him."

Suguo knew very well in his heart that Chen Mo's attitude had already been revealed, and he would definitely not see him.But she still didn't give up. She actually missed the chance to get close to the top figures in the country last night. Even if she had a glimmer of hope, she would not give up.

On the top floor of the company, the person Suguo was thinking about was sitting on the sofa, taking the coffee handed over by the robot, and quietly reading a book.

He didn't need to meet Suguo, and he didn't want to delve into this matter.If we go deeper, it will have a bad reputation for domestic charity, and he will not get any benefits, so there is no need to waste time.

"Brother Mo, Zhao Min is calling." While Chen Mo was reading a book, Mo's voice sounded.

"Connect."

"Chairman, there is something I need to tell you in advance. Just now, people from the European telecommunications company Altice Group informed me overnight that they refused to cooperate with Marching Ant Company." Zhao Min's voice was heard as soon as the connection was made, with a somewhat angry tone.

Chapter 102 Joining hands to block

Chen Mo frowned and put down the book in his hand: "Notifying you so late? Are you in such a hurry?"

"That's the point." Zhao Min's tone was not good.

They have already negotiated today, the terms of the cooperation between the two parties have been determined, and the details of the contract have all been finalized.

Originally, they planned to sign the contract tomorrow morning, but the other party notified them at this time tonight that all the contracts discussed today were voided, and the signing ceremony was also cancelled.

This means that the other party wants to reformulate the contract or not cooperate.

"Why is that?"

"I don't know. They talked very well today, and they seem to be very sincere. The reason for the other party's change of mind is not clear at the moment. Maybe they will say it in tomorrow's conversation." Zhao Min said.

"It's a bit strange to change your mind suddenly. If the cooperation is not reached, it doesn't matter. You can go back to China first, and take a break in the European market."

"Understood, I will inform you in advance this time. I am afraid that this trip to Europe will not yield much."

A sudden change of mind, the other party must want greater benefits.For the greater good, it is impossible for them to make concessions.If the two sides do not agree, this trip to Europe can only return empty-handed.

"Let's do this first, you rest early. If they don't have much sincerity tomorrow, go back to the country first, there is no need to waste it."

"it is good."

After putting down the phone, Zhao Min rubbed the center of her eyebrows and walked slowly to the window.

It is late at night, and the Danube is under the lights, dreamlike, and it is easy for people to get lost in this night scene.This is one of the busiest corners of the world, but behind the bustling, there is blood hidden.

This place is not as peaceful as in China, where interests are paramount in areas controlled by capital.

After calming down, Zhao Min walked back to the bed and lay down.

This trip to Europe may end without a problem. It will take some time for the army ants to become internationalized.

What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, Zhao Min didn't think too much, and closed his eyes.

the next day.

Zhao Min followed Julie and the others and left the hotel.Picked up by the motorcade, they arrived at the headquarters of Altice Group soon.

"Mr. Kang Bomin, we need an explanation. Didn't we already talk about it yesterday? After calculating the time, it was time to sign the contract. Why did you suddenly cancel the cooperation?"

As soon as he saw Kang Bomin, the CEO of Altice Group, Zhao Min opened his mouth.The tone is not very good, it feels like being played by someone.

It took such a long time to negotiate the terms and conditions, and the other party simply canceled it after a phone call. No one has a good temper.

"Ms. Zhao, be safe and don't be impatient." Kang Bomin pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose after listening to the translator, smiled slightly, and pointed to the seat opposite the table: "Sit down and talk first. The board of directors disagree with yesterday's terms. There is no way."

"Then how do you guys want to cooperate now?" Zhao Min said while sitting on a chair to calm himself down.

"We decided to cooperate in another way. We will acquire 10% of the shares of Marching Ant Company and use our company's resources to grow Marching Ant Company at the fastest speed and squeeze Apple out of the European market. We will gain greater benefits. " Kang Bomin said.

He used to be the CEO of Alan Company, and he has a good understanding of the software and hardware markets of the European telecommunications market.I have to say that Army Ant's Butterfly Eye mobile phone is a very good product, and it will definitely bring a lot of benefits if it can be obtained by European agents.

It's just that the contract was rejected by the board of directors. The board of directors only wanted the shares of Marching Ant Company to obtain greater benefits, not the agency of Butterfly Eye mobile phone.

The meaning above is very firm, if you don't get the shares of the army ants company, it is impossible to let them enter the European market, and what they said, they can naturally do it.

After all, the whole of Europe is just that big, and big consortia and big capital are already the uncrowned kings of this place.

"Impossible, we will never sell the shares." Zhao Min said with a sullen face.

Just as she thought, the other party really wanted to take greater benefits.It is obviously impossible to just focus on the shares of Marching Ant Company.

"Ms. Zhao, you have to think about it. The European market is huge. With our help, you can quickly eat this cake. The benefits here are much more valuable than 10% of the shares of Marching Ant Company."

"I'm not interested. Since your company doesn't cooperate, I can only regret it."

Zhao Min stood up and turned around to leave.

"Ms. Zhao, if you leave here, you will leave the entire European market. It will be difficult to enter in the future. It is only 10% of the shares, and we are only a holding company and do not participate in the operation of the company."

Kang Bomin frowned when he saw Zhao Min leaving so decisively.

"Not interested, goodbye." Zhao Min bid farewell, and left with Julie and others.

It is impossible to discuss matters related to the company's shares.It is impossible for Chen Mo to take out the shares of Marching Ant Company and sit on the table talking endlessly. It is just a waste of time.

Seeing Zhao Min leave decisively, Kang Bomin made a phone call: "Sir, Marching Army Ant Company refuses to sell its shares."

"If you don't surrender, get out." A decisive voice came from the other end of the phone.

As soon as Zhao Min left, the heads of major telecom operators in Europe collectively received news that they were not allowed to cooperate with Marching Ant Company.

The spread of this news indicates that it is almost impossible for the army ant mobile phone to enter the European market.

In Europe, it is not the government that has the final say, but the big capital, families and trade unions that bring those politicians to power.

"It seems that they want to block our way."

That night, in the hotel, Zhao Min put down his cell phone with a sullen face.They wanted to find another company to cooperate with, but this kind of thing happened, and the plan fell through.

Now Marching Ant Company is blocked by a large European telecom operator.

Zhao Min checked the time and called Chen Mo.

"How about it?"

"That's right. As I expected, the people from the Altice Group really changed the conditions. Their condition is 10% of the shares of the Army Ant Company."

"Can you switch to another partner?"

"I rejected their request. The largest operators in Europe collectively block it and are not ready to let us enter the European market. This time, the people in the Altice Group suddenly changed their minds. It is estimated that these telecom giants are working together." Zhao Min said .

"Is there a way?" Chen Mo asked.

"Throughout Europe, most of the software and hardware of telecommunications are in the hands of these operators, almost monopolizing the entire market. As an outsider, it is impossible for us to break through." Zhao Min said.

Huawei is developing very well in Europe, but even Huawei will not easily offend these telecom operators because of them, let alone help them enter the market.

Because this market is already Huawei's big cake, if the army ants are brought in, it is to find competitors for themselves, which is not in their interest.

"It seems that I still have to rely on myself." Chen Mo laughed.

"Take your time, this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. Marching Army Ant Company has experienced a lot along the way." Zhao Min said.

"Since it's blocked, it's not very useful to stay in Europe. Go back to your country, it's not convenient to talk on the phone, let's talk when we go back to our country."

"Ok."

The next morning, Zhao Min and others took the plane back to China.

Chapter 103

At the headquarters of the Altice Group, Kang Bomin was not in a good mood after learning that the people from the Marching Ant Company had returned to China.

Originally, the cooperation with Marching Ant Company has almost been completed.

He has used the second-generation butterfly eye mobile phone, especially the smart assistant, which is a very useful software.It allows people to bid farewell to the era of palm-controlled mobile phones.Coupled with the exquisite appearance of butterfly eyes, it is a higher grade than Apple mobile phones.

If they reach a cooperation with the Army Ant Company, their Altice Group will definitely be able to use this to gain more market share in the communications market.

As a result, at the last moment, the board of directors actually disagreed with this cooperation, and even asked him to ask for the acquisition of shares in Marching Army Ant Company.

They all underestimated the determination of the Army Ant Company.

As soon as the acquisition of shares was proposed, it was rejected without hesitation.The people from Marching Army Ant Company returned home overnight, and they didn't even intend to continue negotiating with them.

He had a premonition that he might really lose a very important partner this time.With a sigh, Kang Bomin took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

The news of the failure of the cooperation between Army Ant Company and Altice Group soon spread back to China.

During this period of time, the speed of development of the army ants is too fast, and the market share of the high-end mobile phone market in China is constantly expanding, and now it is ready to enter the international market.The failure of the army ants' trip to Europe has also become the focus of media attention.The European media has just spread the news, and the domestic media has already reported it.

"The Internationalization of Army Ants Has Been Blocked" - Global Newspaper.

"Europe Fears Eastern Army Ant Invasion! "——Financial News

"Reuters: The cooperation between Altice Group and Marching Ant Company has failed" - Phoenix News.

On the Internet, various articles appeared, and experts in various fields also appeared, and began to comment on the failed cooperation of the Army Ant Company.

The army ants have come all the way, and the road is very smooth. This is the first time they have encountered refusal to cooperate, and it is the first step to go abroad.

In recent years, the situation in the domestic market has become rigid, and major markets have been occupied by major giants.It is more difficult for small businesses to enter the market.

The army ants that suddenly appeared, like a group of vicious ants, rushed from left to right, abruptly breaking the rigid situation.Among young entrepreneurs, Marching Ant Company has become a legendary benchmark.

Now Marching Army Ant Company is a miracle in the development of domestic companies, and its every move is under the spotlight of the media.This trip to Europe by Army Ant Company was the first time that Army Ant Company encountered a wall.

This means that the time for Army Ant Company to enter the international market will be delayed.

At this time, outside the Army Ant Company, a group of reporters were waiting anxiously.Seeing Zhao Min's car approaching the company, a group of reporters flocked to it.

"President Zhao, may I ask why the Altice Group refuses to cooperate with you?"
