Chapter 437: Signed with Eyes Closed

The office hall.

A series of clattering keyboard sounds, as if it were the simultaneous firing of guns and cannons in a fierce battle.

???

In such an environment, Shen Jiaqing was completely bewildered by the sudden invitation.

"Little brother, you're planning to make a big move!"

Shen Yan was noncommittal: "I'm not sure if the move is big, but I'm definitely planning to make something of it."

"If the company has no objections, I don't either, it's just that my mother... she was stimulated by the Shen Family, and she has arranged several blind dates for me recently."

When saying this, Shen Jiaqing looked as if he were mourning the dead.

"Hey! Are you stupid? There are so many young and beautiful female college students in my school; pick any one of them, aren't they ten thousand times better than those worldly, mercenary old women in society?"

That's right!

Hearing this, Shen Jiaqing's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Hangzhou University is full of beauties, such as Wu Yueer, Yu Youwei, Chen Shanni, and Luo Qiqi; I believe the others certainly aren't any worse.

And each one is young and pure.

It is simply a cradle and holy land for finding a wife.

"Little brother, you have to give me some pointers when the time comes."

"Look at your lack of ambition." Shen Yan smiled helplessly.

After settling on the idea, Shen Yan walked straight to Chen Jun's office and gently knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Come in!"

Inside the office, Chen Jun and Lin Bin were seen sitting on the sofa, looking worried; a thick stack of paper contracts was placed on the coffee table, with a few individual pages torn out separately.

They were scattered in a mess.

There were various red marker annotations on them.

Seeing the person arrive, Chen Jun squeezed out a smile and said: "Come, come, come, take a look at the terms offered by Qualcomm; there are only three of us in charge of the company, let's make a decision on whether to sign or not."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Shen Yan, and a new territory was added to the food delivery platform plan.

Currently, there are very few smartphones on the market, and they are expensive, so delivery riders definitely cannot afford them, which means there is no way to launch a mobile app for food delivery in the short term.

If the food delivery platform could be bundled with Xiaogu Company to jointly release a new phone...

In this way.

One side would not lack customers, and the other could achieve explosive rapid development and firmly occupy market share.

This advantage is something other food delivery platforms cannot compensate for.

By then, he might be able to dominate the market alone, trampling Meituan and Ele. me under his feet.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Shen Yan became; by some stroke of luck, he actually had such unique conditions.

Noticing the burning flame in Shen Yan's eyes, Chen Jun and Lin Bin were completely baffled.

Why does it feel like this guy is a bit excited?

The company's progress is not going well, and it's no benefit to him.

"Shen Yan, what good thing are you thinking about? You're almost drooling."

Hearing this, Shen Yan subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth; it was as clean as a sheet of paper.

So he had been teased!

However, he was not angry, but instead said with a grin: "I thought of a good idea; once the product research and development is successful, it might bring a steady stream of customers to the company and quickly open up the situation in the market."

"Oh?"

Now Chen Jun and Lin Bin were both fully intrigued and hurriedly asked what the method was.

They did not think Shen Yan was shooting without a target; after several contacts, Shen Yan's keen sense of smell for the market, like a hungry wolf, had long since deeply impressed them.

Since he said he had a way, then this matter was already eighty percent successful.

However, at the critical moment, Shen Yan began to speak in riddles.

"No rush, let's solve the problem at hand first."

Whew!

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Chen Jun and Lin Bin suppressed the urge to give Shen Yan a good beating.

It was too infuriating! Leaving things half-said made people feel terribly uncomfortable.

He picked up a few sheets of paper that had been highlighted.

Uh... I have to say, Qualcomm is worthy of being the hegemon in the chip field; the various hair-raising details are truly predatory terms.

Among them, three are the most harsh.

First: No chips from other brands may be used within three years.

Second: A unique reverse patent licensing; as the main manufacturer of the 3G standard, if you want to use Qualcomm's chips, then all patents in this mobile phone must be handed over to Qualcomm for free, and Qualcomm can collect patent fees worldwide.

For example, the "charge for five minutes, talk for two hours" later developed by Oppo; Qualcomm obtained this patent without spending a penny.

Furthermore, for every mobile phone sold, Qualcomm must collect 5% of the phone's selling price as a patent fee.

Even Apple, the tech giant, could not escape this fate.

In addition, there are some clauses that are not so important but still stick in one's throat.

The way they eat is incredibly ugly.

This is not aimed at Xiaogu Company alone; all mobile phone companies are like this.

When under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head.

Shen Yan did not think that just because he saved Jacob, he could make him change these terms.

In real society, profit comes first.

When it comes down to it, Jacob is merely the chairman of Qualm; even if he personally agrees, he cannot ignore the interests of the shareholders.

Good steel should be used on the blade; there is no need to waste the little favor remaining for nothing.

"Just sign it with your eyes closed, and make plans once the company is up and running," Shen Yan said nonchalantly.

Chen Jun and Lin Bin nodded in relief; pressured by reality, the two had already reached a consensus beforehand, waiting only for Shen Yan's nod to continue executing the plan.

At the current stage, Xiaogu Company has already negotiated with all component suppliers, waiting only to integrate all the parts to complete the production of the entire mobile phone.

Then, just find a reliable manufacturer for mass production.

Once the serious business was finished, the heavy, mountain-like mood in Chen Jun's heart quietly dissipated by more than half; he crossed his legs and asked nonchalantly.

"Shen Yan, how are things going with that little girlfriend of yours?"

Uh...

Shen Yan was slightly taken aback; this was a question he really found difficult to answer.

To say their feelings remained the same would be false, as they had already broken up publicly.

To say they had broken up would also be false, as they were in that kind of intimate, inseparable relationship in private.

It was a bit of a dilemma!

In that brief moment of distraction, Chen Jun keenly sensed something and couldn't help but feel curious: "What, are you young people having a spat?"

Shen Yan sniffled and stated the "truth" that the public knew.

"We broke up!"

"Oh! What happened? As someone who has been through it, perhaps I can give you some advice."

Chen Jun was not too surprised; instead, a "I knew it" gleam flashed in his eyes.

In his view, the circumstances of Shen Yan and Hao Anqi were worlds apart, so a breakup was inevitable.

"There's nothing much to say; our values were too different," Shen Yan said, not wanting to explain further.

Lin Bin chuckled and teased: "Come on, man, who hasn't been with a few women when they were young? Leave this one, and the next will be even better. I think Lao Chen's daughter, Shanni, is quite good—gentle and quiet; try to win her over and bring her home."
