Technology Bigshot

[Chapter 211: Fierce Negotiation and Confrontation]

Tim Cook’s trip to China was actually forced to be helpless. The barrier of Xiaoyou’s assistant was not broken. Even the first-class products are difficult to win in the market from other rivals and come to the matrix. Technology is compelling, because this is Apple’s only opportunity.

"What can matrix technology get?" Ren Hong spoke neither fast nor slow, calmly and calmly.

Obviously, Apple wants matrix technology, and it is inevitable that it will be at a disadvantage. Tim Cook is well aware of this and he is ready for hemorrhage. The only thing that makes him unpredictable is how big the appetite of matrix technology is.

"We have prepared two plans." Tim Cook quickly replied, apparently he had undergone multiple preparations before coming. He listened quietly to Ren Hong who was sitting there, and Cook said after seeing this: "The first option is to exclude the products of your company’s subsidiaries and promise that your company will not enter the low-end market. Apple will buy Xiaoyou Assistant at a price of $240 billion as the exclusive ios. This means that Xiaoyou Assistant only has access to both Matrix Technology and Apple. You are in the high-end area, and we are in the low-end area."

"Ha~~" Ren Hong showed a light smile on the surface, but was surprised that the other party was really going to pay this time. US$240 billion is equal to a transaction, so put the money for the next 5 years in his pocket first. The other party came with the determination to win.

Ren Hong’s brain is computing fast like a computer. After comparing the benefits, gains and losses, he suddenly smiled. He smiled and said: “The 240 billion US dollars is almost all of Apple’s cash reserves. It’s a astronomical price. But Mr. Cook, you know that Xiaoyou Assistant can use the Android version of the app. You can calculate it for $5 a month. Xiaoyou Assistant has more than 2 billion users on Android phones, and it can be xlous every year. -How much revenue does alpha bring in?"

"US$240 billion! It is indeed a number that shocks the world, but it cost me 2 billion users..." Ren Hong suddenly frowned and shook his head with an ugly expression, staring at the other side. : "...It really makes me doubt your sincerity, Mr. Cook."

"I know, of course I know." Tim Cook quickly explained: "Please listen to me, Mr. Sherus. Although you have lost 2 billion android users, your smart voice xiaou (小优) ) Assistant can still be profitable on ios. And the $240 billion is enough to match Xiaou Assistant’s net profit for about 5 years on Android users. This $240 billion is equivalent to Apple’s paying for Xiaou Assistant’s losses in the next 5 years , 3 years later, Xiaou assistant can still continue to make high profits on ios. Your company can get a net profit of 240 billion cash in this transaction. Yes, net profit! I know that your company in China is now at the end The two-year tax exemption period means that Xiaou Assistant’s profit indirectness will be tax-free for another three years. Except for the comparative loss of Xiaou’s Android part, you can get a relatively comparable benefit of about US$150 billion on this transaction. ."

Tim Cook who said this opened his hands and stared at each other, "What do you think?"

Ren Hong did not answer him immediately, but was thinking, and Cook did not speak in a hurry, sitting by and waiting quietly while drinking coffee.

Ren Hong knows a little bit about Tim Cook’s remarks. The other party has done enough homework for this negotiation. From a practical point of view, the actual net profit of 240 billion U.S. dollars in a short period of time is obtained, and future losses are reduced to obtain a relative comparison. Calculating the relative benefit of 150 billion US dollars, Apple's sincerity this time is full, and this is also the price that the disadvantaged party should have.

"I want to hear the second plan." Ren Hong said suddenly after thinking for a long time.

Without a response, Tim Cook has no choice but to talk about the second plan first. "The second plan we prepared is that Apple has obtained the authorization of Xiaou Assistant for the company’s smart device products at a price of 80 billion US dollars. , Xiaou Assistant can still make money on Android users. For your company, it has opened up the new huge market of ios while obtaining 80 billion US dollars. For your company, this is also the income of two birds with one stone, without harming the original interests. Get a direct benefit of 80 billion US dollars and the entire ios market. This solution does not have any actual loss for your company to occupy more of the market. Although it has led to a decrease in Xiaou Assistant’s share of Android users, at the same time Xiaou Assistant is in New users have been added to ios. One trades and the other. For your company, it is nothing more than changing the dollar from the left to the right."

This second solution is also very profitable for Matrix Technology, because there is no loss, at least on the surface there is no loss. The two solutions look like Apple is sending money for Matrix Technology.

"Okay..." Ren Hong heard this second plan, and saw that he moved his lower body to make him sit more comfortable. He looked at Tim Cook again and said, "One is for RMB. One is slow money, but both are sky-high prices. Both solutions seem to bring huge benefits to Matrix Technology."

"Isn't it?" Tim Cook said with a smile.

"No!" Ren Hong responded like this at the moment his voice just fell, which made the smiling Cook freeze on the spot.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sherus, I really can't figure out such a win-win situation... Excuse me, can you answer me why this is?" Tim Cook couldn't help asking.

"Win-win?" Ren Hong asked, and he slowly shook his head, "It looks like a win-win, but you are the only one who actually wins. Me? Matrix Technology? I even think that in this transaction, Matrix Technology is just a thug. That's it."

Tim Cook immediately retorted: "This is impossible. This deal is definitely not Apple as a unilateral winner. No matter which scheme, your company has achieved unimaginable benefits. What is this not a win-win situation?"

"Haha..." Ren Hong smiled, seeming to mutter to himself, "If Matrix Technology is so short-sighted and only looks at the seemingly insane benefits in front of you, it will never achieve the world-renowned achievements today. ."

Tim Cook was a little stunned when he heard that, Ren Hong glanced at each other with a see-through look, diverted his gaze, and continued: "No matter which plan, it seems to be beneficial to me, but in fact it is I personally helped an opponent who was defeated by my own hands. Have you ever heard of the idea of ​​saving your mortal enemy in the mall? Huh? This is a big taboo and one of them..."

"Secondly, the mobile phone manufacturers in the Greater China region have the biggest impact with the small excellent assistants to enter the low-end market, because they are the dominant players in this market. You should know how much industry chain a well-known brand mobile phone manufacturer has. People rely on it to survive? The fall of a brand means that the affiliated industry chain will also collapse. How many people will be unemployed? Condescending to the low-end area while carrying a small assistant, no one is your opponent. Greater China The particularity of the unemployed people is not only millions in European and American countries, but tens of millions, and even with families, hundreds of millions of people are affected."

Said this, Ren Hong stopped, and then said: "I am respected by the whole world and hated by the whole world, love and hate, haha, it's enough, I hope the Greater China only has love for me. I hate it."

"It's not fair!" Tim Cook said suddenly.

This remark made Ren Hong stunned. He never thought that such naive words would come out of Tim Cook's mouth.

"Sorry!" Tim Cook also realized his embarrassment.

"Actually, you are wrong, Cook. We all know that winners are always unclean in the true sense. Apple's rise is also based on the bones of many people. Put aside these. In fact, I too Thinking for the people of the world."

The last sentence is simply the most ridiculous lie.

Tim Cook sneered when he heard this.

Regardless of whether the other party believes it or not, Ren Hong said to himself: "It is precisely because of this that I am willing to talk to an opponent who was originally mine, but has been talking with him for a long time. Because I don't want Apple to be like Nokia. Falling down completely, I don’t want it, you don’t want it, and the United States does not want it. Apple’s industrial chain and the thousands of people attached to it don’t want it. Yes, they don’t want it. But today, Apple Apple Whether or not to fall, only I have the final say!"

Ren Hong's words are undoubtedly extremely arrogant, especially when he said this to Tim Cook, it is even more arrogant. If the world knows this, it is definitely the most arrogant sentence of the year. But the other party did not refute it. For Cook, it was a humiliation, helplessness, and cruel fact, otherwise there would be no meeting today.

"Of course, I don’t think I’m the savior. I don’t want Apple to fall because it’s falling is not a good thing for Matrix Technology. Simply put, it means that all major products under our company will be Many people consume less ~www.readwn.com~ That’s why you said! Mr. Cook."

Ren Hong finished his words and looked at the other side quietly. Cook smiled barely, but laughed a little miserably, "This is why Apple can't fall? Just live humiliating others?"

"At least still alive! Nokia and Motorola are all dead, Mr. Cook, isn't it okay to be alive?" Ren Hong, who was in a prestige seated position, opened his hands and stared at him, the demeanor of a strong man was fully revealed.

Tim Cook was speechless for a while, and for a long time, the two sides negotiated and confronted until now. Whoever wins and who loses has had a result. Tim Cook, who did his best for Apple, finally lost.

"Since neither of these two options will work, what do you think?"

This sentence is equivalent to telling Ren Hong that he won this confrontation because the opponent has given up the dominance.
