Technology Bigshot

【Chapter 212: Every inch of land must be fought for】

The victory of the first round of confrontation does not mean the final victory. The meeting turned into a negotiation and then into a transactional negotiation. For Ren Hong, he was not prepared at all, but because of this, it can better reflect his strong adaptability. .

Tim Cook said the last sentence in a compromising manner, but Ren Hong did not answer him immediately, he was thinking, but in fact, at the moment, Ren Hong was browsing a series of data information, on his right. The window displayed on the horizon lists the information he wants, but Cook, who is sitting opposite, doesn't know what Ren Hong is doing at the moment, or he only knows that he is thinking.

That's the power of the 's-2'.

Ren Hong once said to himself and promised his subordinates that there are only two fates for Matrix Technology's opponents: either transformation or bankruptcy.

Today's Apple, as the most direct competitor of Matrix Technology, has finally failed in the high-end area, and it is inevitable that it does not want to fall and transform. But even if they want to transform, they have to break through a barrier set up by Matrix Technology for them-Xiaoyou Assistant.

This is the price of wanting to "live".

The scene was silent for a long time, and no one spoke. Although Tim Cook was anxious, he waited patiently.

Finally, he saw Ren Hongshen move his body, and his free and thoughtful gaze was withdrawn again, and he looked at the other party.

"My request." Ren Hong said: "Matrix Technology will share 50% of Apple's total revenue in the low-end area every year. To be precise, as long as Apple's products involve Xiaoyou Assistant, Matrix will Technology will get 50% of the revenue, in short, it will be divided equally with Apple.”

"It's impossible!" Tim Cook stood up excitedly on the spot when he heard such conditions. This was simply a blatant robbery.

"This is equivalent to making Apple work for Matrix Technology in disguise. Such excessive requirements are extremely rude." Tim Cook couldn't help it, and the lion's big mouth was not enough to describe it.

"But only in this way is it in the interest of Matrix Technology, Mr. Cook." Ren Hong raised his voice and suppressed the other party's voice. He didn't feel that his request was rude at all. Under the slightly excited look of the other party, He said indifferently: "You must be clear, once I give you Xiaoyou assistant, the sales of my company's 's-1' equipment will also be affected a lot. Considering a series of factors, I don't want to To clarify again, I only tell you the result, that is, Matrix Technology has not actually gained any benefits, and what is a win-win situation?"

But in fact,

's-1' has been listed on the discontinued entry, of course he won't tell Cook this, the discontinuation of 's-1' is for better sales of 's-2', the benefits of the two are huge, This decision is also inevitable.

"And..." Ren Hong added again: "Apple's products do not enter Greater China as a precondition."

"Is such a request a so-called win-win? Apple is a complete loser!!!" Tim Cook stared at him intently.

"It depends on how you think about it, Mr. Cook." Ren Hong responded calmly and said, "Maybe it is necessary for me to say that Apple at this moment is for survival. This is your consideration and the fundamental reason. What I, Matrix Technology is thinking about, is how to get the actual benefits in this transaction.”

Speaking of Ren Hong here, the eyes of the two sides suddenly met each other. Ren Hong stared at each other and said slowly, word by word: "Now it's apple asking for xlous, Tim... Cook!"

No one will be implicit in the conflict of interests, and every inch must be fought. This is the market.

It is worth mentioning that the additional requirements put forward by Ren Hong are obviously to protect domestic low-end brands, but this is definitely not purely for protection. Matrix Technology has now become a huge business empire, and its social responsibilities are not comparable to other companies, but while taking social responsibilities, interests must also go hand in hand.

The cooperation with apple is for its own interests, and it is also for its own interests not to let him enter the Greater China region. Greater China will be a safe haven for those domestic low-end brands, ensuring that the affiliated industrial chain can be maintained, thus indirectly maintaining The stability of society is the social responsibility that Matrix Technology has to undertake.

Although Matrix Technology lost some of its vested interests, it gained a reputation. For today's business empire, reputation is obviously more important than actual money. Ren Hong has always insisted on one point. Greater China is the absolute position of Matrix Technology, and it is also a prerequisite for him to compete with the world. Doing so is in the interests of Matrix Technology.

As for the competition of domestic low-end and mid-end brands in the international market, it is beyond his control whether it is life or death.

Tim Cook was haggard and sat down again powerless, unable to speak for a while, but saw Ren Hong speak again, "Although Apple has given up the Greater China market, it is sitting on a wider international market, I believe you too. We know that India’s huge market with a population of more than 1.1 billion is now gradually exploding its potential energy. Today’s India is like China 20 years ago, and today’s India will also have infinite imagination in the next five to fifteen years. The market, not only India, but also the third world countries around the world are potential markets for Apple. If you remove a Greater China region, Apple has gained the entire international market, right?"

"But 50%...it's absolutely unacceptable." Tim Cook still insisted.

Ren Hong shrugged indifferently and said, "I can't accept it if it's less than 50%. There must be one of the two to choose to compromise, but that person is definitely not Matrix Technology, absolutely not!"

One sentence made Tim Cook speechless and stunned on the spot. At the negotiating table, which was not too formal, Cook's assistant and Ding Yang were also present. The two sides formed a stark contrast. When Cook's assistant heard such a sentence, there was only despair in his heart. He used to be so brilliant. The apple apple has come to such a situation under the fence? Ding Yang, who was born in the military, has a completely different feeling. Soldiers are all advocating the strong. No matter what form, Ren Hong has already shown the posture of a strong man, but a dialogue has made him born. Inexplicable agitation.

Ren Hong's words are undoubtedly the final showdown of Matrix Technology, and now only Apple's position is left, and there are only two results: compromise or rejection. The same is true for the other two outcomes: alive or down.

"I need to discuss with the board of directors, I can't be the master." Tim Cook responded bitterly after returning to his senses. The other party's words were very clear, and he would not make any fights, because it was meaningless.

"No problem!" Ren Hong chuckled lightly and reminded again, "But it only takes three days at most, give me a reply in three days at the latest. If there is no reply after three days, this cooperation will end in failure."

Tim Cook nodded slowly, and after a while, he stood up again and said with emotion when facing Ren Hong: "Aside from the identities of both parties, Mr. Sherus, just as an entrepreneur, I have seen you. One of the most visionary and thoughtful and… never willing to take even the slightest loss.”

After finishing the meeting with Tim Cook, good news also came from the dig site of the "Nether Axe Base".
