Technology Bigshot

[Chapter 211: Intense negotiation confrontation]

Tim Cook's trip to China was actually forced to help. The barrier of Xiaoyou assistant is not broken. Even first-class products are difficult to win from the competition of other competitors in the market. Technology is a last resort, because this is Apple's only chance.

"What can Matrix Technology get?" Ren Hong's speech was neither fast nor slow, calm and calm.

Obviously, Apple wants to rely on Matrix Technology, and it is inevitable that it will be at a disadvantage. Tim Cook knows this and is ready to bleed a lot. The only thing that makes him unpredictable is how much appetite Matrix Technology has.

"We have prepared two plans." Tim Cook replied quickly, obviously he had undergone multiple preparations before he came. Seeing this, Cook said: "The first option is to buy Xiaoyou Assistant as an ios monopoly at a price of $240 billion on the premise that your company will not enter the mid-to-low-end market except for the products of your company's subsidiaries. That is to say, Xiaoyou Assistant is only enjoyed by Matrix Technology and Apple. You are in the high-end area, and we are in the low-end area."

"Ha~~" Ren Hong showed an indifferent smile on the surface, but in his heart he was surprised that the other party really wanted to spend the money this time. 240 billion US dollars is equal to a transaction. Put the money in the next 5 years in your pocket first. The other party came with the determination to win.

Ren Hong's brain is running fast like a computer. While comparing the benefits and losses, he suddenly smiled, he said with a smile: "$240 billion is almost all of Apple's cash reserves. A sky-high price among the sky-high prices. But Mr. Cook, you know that with the help of the Android version of the app, you can first calculate $5 a month. The Xiaoyou assistant has more than 2 billion users on Android phones, and can be used for xlous every year. -How much revenue does the alpha company bring?"

"240 billion US dollars! It is indeed a figure that is enough to shock 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 party. : "...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 (Xiaoyou) ) Assistant can still be profitable on ios. And 240 billion US dollars is enough to equal the 5 years or so of net profit revenue of xiaou assistant on android users. This 240 billion US dollars is equal to Apple's payment for the loss of xiaou assistant in the next 5 years. , 3 years later, assistant xiaou can still continue to make a high amount of profit on ios, your company can get 240 billion cash net profit in this transaction, yes, net profit! I know that your company is in the final stage in China now a two-year tax-free period,

It is equivalent to letting Xiaoou's assistant's profit be indirectly tax-free for another three years. Except for the relative loss of Xiaoou's part on android, you can get a relative benefit of about 150 billion US dollars in this transaction. "

Speaking of which, Tim Cook opened his hands and stared at each other, "What do you think?"

Ren Hong didn't answer him immediately, but pondered, and Cook didn't speak in a hurry, sitting aside drinking coffee and waiting quietly.

Ren Hong knows a little 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 US dollars will be obtained in a short period of time, minus future losses. Considering the relative benefits of 150 billion US dollars, Apple's sincerity this time is full, and this is also the price that should be paid as a disadvantaged party.

"I want to hear the second option." Ren Hong, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said.

Without getting a reply, Tim Cook had no choice but to talk about the second option first, "The second option we have prepared is that Apple will obtain the authorization of Xiaoou Assistant for the company's smart device products at a price of 80 billion US dollars. , xiaou assistant can still make profits on android users. For your company, it has opened up a huge new ios market while gaining 80 billion US dollars. For your company, this is also a benefit of killing two birds with one stone, without damaging the original interests Get 80 billion US dollars of direct benefits and the entire ios market. This solution does not have any actual loss for your company to occupy more markets, although it has led to a decrease in the share of xiaou assistant on android users, but at the same time xiaou assistant is in the New users are added to ios, one trades off, one trades off, and for your company it's just a dollar change from left hand to right hand."

This second solution is also very profitable for Matrix Technology, because there is no loss, at least not on the surface. Both schemes look like Apple is sending money for Matrix Technology.

"okay..." Ren Hong heard the second plan, and saw that he moved his body to make himself more comfortable. He looked at Tim Cook again and said, "One is dollars, One is slow money, but both are sky-high prices. Both solutions seem to bring great benefits to Matrix Technology.”

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

"No!" Ren Hong responded the moment he finished speaking, which made the smiling Cook freeze on the spot.

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

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

Tim Cook immediately retorted: "This is impossible. This transaction is definitely not a one-sided winner of Apple. Regardless of which scheme, your company has obtained unimaginable benefits. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

"Haha..." Ren Hong smiled and seemed to be talking to himself, "If Matrix Technology is so short-sighted and only focuses on the seemingly crazy benefits in front of us, it will never achieve the achievements that are attracting worldwide attention today. ."

Tim Cook was a little stunned when he heard it, Ren Hong looked at the other party with a see-through look, shifted his eyes and continued: "No matter which plan it is, it seems to be beneficial to me, but in fact it makes I personally lifted up an opponent that I personally knocked down. Have you ever heard of saving your mortal enemy in a shopping mall? Huh? This is one of the taboos..."

"Secondly, we will bring Xiaoyou Assistant to enter the low-end market. The biggest impact is on mobile phone manufacturers in Greater China, because they are currently the dominant players in this market. You should know how many industrial chains are attached to a well-known brand mobile phone manufacturer. People rely on it to survive? The collapse of a brand means that the industrial chain attached to it will collapse, and how many people will be unemployed? Condescending to the middle and low-end areas and bringing Xiaoyou assistants at the same time, no one is your opponent. Greater China Because of the particularity of the situation, the number of unemployed people created is not only millions in Europe and the United States, but tens of millions, and even families, that is, hundreds of millions of people are affected."

Having said this, Ren Hong stopped, and then said: "I am respected by the world and hated by the world, love and hate, hehe, enough is enough, I hope that the Greater China region only loves me, Hate it."

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

Ren Hong was immediately stunned by these words. He never imagined that such childish words would come out of Tim Cook's mouth.

"Sorry!" Tim Cook also realized his embarrassing words.

"Actually, you're wrong, Cook. We all know that winners are never clean in the true sense, and Apple's rise is also glorious on the corpses of many people. Put that aside. In fact, I also Thinking about the people of the world."

The last sentence is simply the most ridiculous lie.

Tim Cook sneered in his heart 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 fight with a rival who was originally mine, but he is here for a long time. Because I don't want Apple to be like Nokia. I don't want, you don't want, and the United States doesn't want to completely collapse. The industrial chains with Apple and the thousands of people attached to them don't want to. Yes, they don't want to. But today, apple Whether or not to fall, only I have the final say!"

Ren Hong's words were undoubtedly extremely arrogant, especially when he said this to Tim Cook. If the world knew this, it would definitely be the most arrogant sentence of the year. But the other party did not refute it. For Cook, this was a humiliation, helplessness, and a 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 not a good thing for Matrix Technology. Simply put, it means that the major products of our company will be A lot less people consume, and that's why you said that! Mr. Cook."

Ren Hong finished his words and looked at the other party quietly. Cook forced a smile, but his smile was a bit miserable, "This is why Apple can't fall? Just living in humiliation for others?"

"At least it's still alive! Nokia and Motorola are all dead, Mr. Cook, isn't it good to be alive?" Ren Hong, who was sitting under restraint, stared at him with open arms, showing the demeanor of a strong man.

Tim Cook was at a loss for words. For a long time, the negotiation and confrontation between the two sides have come to a conclusion. Tim Cook, who did his best for Apple, finally lost.

"Since neither option works, what do you think?"

This sentence is equivalent to telling Ren Hong that he won this confrontation because the other party gave up his dominance.
