Chapter 196: Do you want to take advantage?
Jobs looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, he didn't understand what it meant to be able to BB, so he tried not to do it, after all, there is no such thing as BB in this era, but even if there is, Jobs, as an American, doesn't seem to understand either. However, the words handed to him were still understood, and it was precisely this that surprised Jobs: Could it be that he wanted to turn over such a situation with one mouth?
This is undoubtedly telling a big joke, but what puzzles Jobs is that his intuition tells him that Zhou Ming can indeed do it.
Just when Jobs was extremely entangled, Zhou Ming suddenly shouted at everyone: "A bunch of wasters, shut up Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is here to bring you money!"
Zhou Ming's scolding made everyone in the conference room stunned at that time, they all looked at Zhou Ming in disbelief, no one thought that Zhou Ming would scold people without saying a word, and the most important thing was that he didn't come to talk about cooperation today? How dare he be so arrogant? As if he had more confidence, the roles of both sides were wrong, right? And what did he mean by bringing money at the end?
Facing everyone's incomprehensible expressions, Zhou Ming said: "The U.S. dollar is the only currency officially certified by the United States in the United States and even in the world, which may be a mouthful of financial terms, but in the United States, no matter how we eat, house and buy a car, we must use the U.S. dollar, and any company that wants to pay wages to employees, distribute dividends to shareholders, and expand reproduction is inseparable from the U.S. dollar." ”
If Zhou Ming's previous scolding scared everyone, then at this time Zhou Ming's words confused everyone, because no one understands what he is talking about, all the big capitalists sitting here don't know what the dollar is, do you want you, the Chinese who don't know where to teach them what the dollar is?
"I know you guys definitely don't understand what I'm talking about, so let me put it simply, what I mean is that now I have a huge sum of money worth tens of millions, do you want to take it?" Zhou Ming asked.
There was an uproar in the conference room, everyone was a little excited, after all, no one does not love money, even if it is the shareholders of the APAI company in the conference room who are worth at least 10 million, they and the APAI company are not short of 10 million, but they don't mind asking for another 10 million.
However, as the CEO, John reacted immediately, and said to Zhou Ming: "This is Mr. Zhou Ming of Jack Ke Company, right? If I understand correctly, what you mean by bringing money refers to the absurd thing that Mr. Jobs just mentioned that asked you to use 10 million to buy the core technology of Apex Company? If this is the case, then I have told you very responsibly that this is impossible." ”
With John's words, laughter came from the conference room again, and some people even cursed: "That's right, if you don't want to do that, we won't sell our core technology even if we die, you and that traitor will die this heart, get out of the door!"
Zhou Ming just shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and said: "So I want to say that Mr. John, you misunderstood, neither I nor Mr. Jobs had the idea of buying core technology. ”
"Is that so?" John asked meaningfully, "So what Mr. Zhou Ming means is that you only need to set up a position in the science and technology exhibition, and do not need any technical support from our company? Then I think you should discuss this matter with Futai Company, they are the organizers of the science and technology exhibition, and we are just exhibitors." ”
Zhou Ming did not answer directly to John's ridicule, but said to him directly: "I think Mr. John, you must not have heard a story, this story is about a pig, he always likes to interrupt others, or only listen to half of what others say and hurriedly express his opinion, and then this pig is very disgusting, and finally he was killed." ”
Although Zhou Ming's story has no beginning and no end, when he finished speaking, everyone in the conference room burst into laughter, obviously they all heard it, Zhou Ming is a story, and he is clearly accusing John of his dissatisfaction in interrupting his words.
Of course, John himself understood, his face was flushed with anger, but he had nothing to do with Zhou Ming, and finally could only accuse Zhou Ming: "You guy, can you only rely on this kind of boring abuse to gain the upper hand?"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to do that, but for someone like you, if I don't do this, I'm afraid you won't sit down and listen to me, will you?"
Zhou Ming said very casually, which caused a burst of laughter from everyone, John had never met a person like Zhou Ming in his life, so he didn't know how to fight back at all, so he could only mumble "What a bastard with no quality, see how I will clean you up if you can't tell a result", but this sentence became the object of others laughing at him again.
Zhou Ming raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I know that everyone is worried that the cooperation between Jack and Apa may lead to Jack stealing the core technology of Apai, but I want to say that this is absolutely nonsense, I don't mean that Jack doesn't need all the services provided by Apai, but the service content that I talked about with Mr. Jobs before is not so rich." ”
"And what is the content of your cooperation?" asked Bauer, the chairman of AP Corporation, in John's place.
Hearing the question of the person who was really in charge of the life and death power of the Aipai Company, Zhou Ming knew that the main topic was coming, so he quickly sorted out his thoughts and replied: "Let you take advantage." ”
At the beginning of this sentence, everyone's curiosity was aroused, and Zhou Ming continued: "We need to participate in this Futai Science and Technology Exhibition, but we don't have a good project, so we must find other large companies to cooperate, and Aipai Company is our first choice." ”
"Of course, I advocate the cooperation with AP company, not the kind of all-round cooperation, we just need to quickly expand our own popularity through this science and technology exhibition, so AP company only needs to provide us with the concept products that you are not sure of the market reaction, and we are responsible for helping you see the market reaction at this science and technology exhibition. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused for a moment, and then continued to narrate: "I know that for a large company like AP Company, in order to maintain the vitality of its own products, there will definitely be many research projects going on at the same time, but whether these projects can be turned into products and finally launched to the market, it takes a lot of courage, after all, the market is unpredictable, in case the product responds poorly in the market, then consumers will not scold AP Company in turn?" In this way, every time the company launches a new product, it is actually a thrilling gamble. ”
Zhou Ming propped up the table with both hands, and finally said in a more oppressive posture: "So now, why don't you let another company help you complete such a gamble?"
"If the market response of the product is very good, you can launch it, on the contrary, if the market response of the product is very poor, then the product is exhibited in the company, this is just a cooperative exhibition, and it will not have any negative impact on you, right?" Zhou Ming raised his hands, one hand better than the other bad, and said to everyone vividly.
Zhou Ming's words are exquisite, so that everyone's eyes shine, indeed, just like Zhou Ming said, there are a lot of research projects in the company, but it still takes a lot of courage to really turn these research projects into products.
This is a problem that every company has to face, the kind of thing that a random idea can be turned into a product, and finally very popular in the market, only exists in the world of fiction, and the reality is that no matter what the final response of any product is, it must be the relatively best solution that has been studied for a long time and many other solutions have been abandoned.
This is especially evident in large companies, such as the personal computers launched by AP, which have at least 100 models and configurations that have been abandoned behind the models and configurations that have successfully seized the market. There are still many models and configurations and software that AP has not even brought to the market yet, because they think they are not mature enough and are not sure how the market will react.
And now, if it can be pushed to the market through the Jack company, won't it be a good solution to this problem? If you succeed, you will be your own, and if you fail, you can throw the blame to Jack Craft, what the best of both worlds.
In the face of this obvious advantage, everyone seemed to be a little eager to move, but since they were only directors, they were not in a hurry to speak, just waiting for the decision of CEO John and Chairman Power.
In this scene, how can the chairman speak first?
Bauer looked at John, waiting for him to speak first, and John understood this, but he was now struggling, judging from Zhou Ming's words, this is indeed a cooperation worth trying, in fact, many other companies are doing this, but his intuition is constantly reminding him that he must not do this.
As a qualified professional manager, John decided to know more about it, and he asked Zhou Ming, "What is your purpose?
"In order to quickly expand our brand awareness, we have to choose big names to work with. And you are worried about the market's response to the product because you pay attention to the brand, but we are completely different, our brand and AP are not comparable at all, right?" Zhou Ming said.
John was silent for a moment and said, "What about your budget? Even if it's just a concept product that hasn't been released, it's the result of the research of AP. ”
Zhou Ming raised a finger: "Or what I just said, I will give you 10 million, but you are not only responsible for all the technical services of Jieke Company in this exhibition, if there are follow-up project technical services, AP Company must also be responsible for the end." ”
"And what about patents?" asked John again.
Zhou Ming smiled: "I don't think there is any need to ask this question at all, because I don't think that AP will sell any patents, and I also don't have any idea of embezzling APAI's patents, even if it's just some patents that you don't need." For this reason, we can also sign a special contract, one by one, in the form of words, all stipulated. ”
After speaking, Zhou Ming stared at John's eyes and finally asked, "Now Mr. John still has any questions?"
John felt the huge oppression coming from Zhou Ming, he took a deep breath, quickly analyzed it in his mind, and then nodded to the chairman next to him, Bauer.
After getting John's answer, Bauer stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think we can start talking about the details of the cooperation between AP and JEC. ”
