Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 297 The Stimulation of Telepathy

After making his decision, he observed Anil's expression, trying to glean some of his true thoughts.

But Anil's smile was like a mask, revealing nothing.

"Mr. Anil, with such favorable terms, what do you want?"

Faced with Lei Jun's intense gaze, Anil laughed loudly.

"Mr. Lei, don't overthink things. We are partners, whether it's Reliance Rice, Reliance Group, or the rice itself."

Mutually beneficial and win-win, each getting what they need.

Rebus didn't respond; he mentally analyzed every word Anil said.

The more often the phrase "mutual benefit and win-win" is used, the less credible it becomes.

Seeing that Rebus remained silent, Anil added another sentence.

"Mr. Lei, rest assured, Reliance is the largest conglomerate in India. We have a bottom line and will not keep cheating our partners."

It won't last forever! As expected of Anil!

But how many of Lei Jun's children have complained in their hearts about the shady partners of Xinshi Group? But he didn't say it out loud.

"So how do you calculate this ratio and the count?"

Lei Jun asked, his smile returning to his face.

"Licensing. The rice company licenses its production line design, process flow, and quality system to the joint venture, which then pays a licensing fee."

Anil's answer was fluent, as if he had prepared it in advance.

How much is the licensing fee?

"2% of the joint venture."

Lei Jun shook his head: "5%."

Anil shook his head as well: "Mr. Lei, this ratio is already quite reasonable."

The factory was registered under the joint venture's name, but we were responsible for almost the entire supply chain, and even the funding came from interest-free loans provided by us...

"You want to take another 5%? That's outrageous! There's absolutely no precedent for this in the industry."

That's exactly the effect Lei Jun wanted—to make the other side drag their feet.

Anyway, just set the target first and lay the foundation. The progress of the factory is not important. As long as the policy is secured, that's enough.

"Mr. Anil, Qualcomm takes a 5% cut of the project. They told us from the beginning that technology is the most important thing."

Without the technology, the factories you build are just abandoned buildings.

Starting construction might only result in losses on fixed assets, but the potential losses from starting construction could be astronomical.

Anil stared at Rebus for a long time, but he still showed no sign of backing down.

In the end, Anil could only smile wryly and say, "Mr. Lei, you're really good at cutting. Congratulations on your win."

Rebus extended his hand, and Anil grasped it.

Anil's hands were cold and hard, as if he were holding a stone.

But in any case, this collaboration went very smoothly... He finally got the factory back.

After leaving Anil's office, Lin Bin was still waiting outside the door.

"Old Lei, how did the talks go?"

Seeing Lei Jun's smiling face, Lin Bin also felt a surge of joy.

Lei Jun explained the terms.

Anil provided everything: land, factory buildings, funding, and policies.

The rice company provides technology and personnel, and the factory repays its loans at low interest rates.

The licensing fee is 4%, and the equity structure remains unchanged.

Lin Bin was not happy after hearing this; instead, he felt a sense of panic.

"Old Ray, don't you think Anil is too easy to talk to?"

This contract is like a windfall; it's not like Anil at all. When has he ever been taken advantage of?

Rebus leaned back in his chair. He knew, of course, that Anil was too good at talking, and it was precisely because he was so easy to talk to that he was even more unsettling.

"So his goal is to get our technology. Since that's the case, I'll just go along with them."

"Have you thought about how to address the issue of technological security?"

"Core technologies are only licensed and not transferred."

The product design only provides drawings, not parameters. The factory management is entirely composed of Chinese people, while Indians are only responsible for technical operations and basic management.

All documents are encrypted and managed; Indian employees can only see the portion relevant to their own role, not the entire document.

Lin Bin nodded, his expression relaxing slightly. With this method, as long as Anil didn't plant a professional spy, he definitely wouldn't be able to steal the technology.

"This plan is acceptable. But will Anil accept it?"

"Whether he accepts it or not is his business. If he doesn't accept it, we won't build it. If it doesn't work out, we'll choose another partner."

Lin Bin nodded, but he still felt that Lei Jun's idea was a bit hasty.

He mentioned it again:

"Mr. Lei, have you ever considered that Anil might use various means to kick us out after the factory is built?"

He will agree to all our conditions in order to achieve this goal.

Lei Jun certainly thought about it.

Who is Anil?

Although he was relatively mild-mannered in front of them, he was, after all, the second son of the Reliance Group. He had been in the business world since childhood and had seen all sorts of underhanded tricks.

To treat him as a pushover is simply foolish.

"Of course we've thought about it, so we've been building our own channels for the past two months, and we also need to maintain key production capacity."

The patents and trademarks are all held by our rice company, and the joint venture has the freedom to use them.

That evening, Lei Jun sent a long email to all senior executives of the company, detailing the risks of the Indian factory and the corresponding personnel relocation plan.

This plan details how difficult the Indian market is, but they must forge ahead.

During his free time, Lei Jun suddenly remembered the hand that Anil had shaken hands with earlier that day.

It was cold and hard.

He always felt that there was something hidden in Anil's smile, like a knife hidden behind silk.

But he couldn't figure it out; maybe he was just imagining things.

…………

The news of Transsion building a factory in India was released three days before the signing of the rice agreement with Reliance.

This is not a coincidence; it was planned by Shenfei.

Adebayo held a press conference in Mumbai to announce that Transsion will invest $10 billion in India to build a factory in Chijarat with an annual production capacity of 2000 million mobile phones.

The Minister of Industry of Gibraltar personally attended the event and confidently declared: "Transsion is India's best partner."

They will do everything in their power to help resolve the unwarranted suppression by the United States.

When the news broke, Indian media outlets went wild.

They, India, can also resolve international market disputes. This is the best government in Indian history, and they have greatly enhanced national strength.

The Times of India's front-page headline reads: "Transsion to build a factory in India with an annual production capacity of 2000 million units, which will become India's first modern mobile phone industrial park."

On the television news, Adebayo, wearing red overalls, said to the camera: "We are very optimistic about the Indian market, and we want to become number one in India."

And 2000 million is just the beginning; we will gradually make Indian manufacturing a source of pride for the world.

Lei Jun saw the news in his hotel in Mumbai and almost dropped his coffee cup.

It was another clandestine negotiation, followed by a swift signing...

Something's not right. There's no formal contract between the two parties in the video. Could this be another shady deal...?

But Lei Jun didn't dare to gamble! After all, last time he thought the telepathic communication was just a bluff, but Spake gave him a huge surprise!
