On Sunnyvale First Avenue in Silicon Valley, Palm's headquarters is nothing more than a small three-story building that looks really unremarkable.

The company, which has sold millions of handheld PDA products and generated billions of dollars in total sales over the past few years, is still the same as it was in the early days of its business.

The only thing that has been remodeled is probably the orange trademark sign on the top of the head, with the letters "Palm" on the inside.

The full-bodied, rounded font is very appropriate to the chubby image of most PDAs that use the Palm system.

Wu Tao got out of the car and stopped in front of the door to watch for a long time.

In his previous life, he also bought Treo's mobile phone, and he also played with it for a long time, and it was regarded as a god machine at that time.

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to visit here now, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion while having honor.

Molly couldn't understand his mood, and after getting out of the car, she put on her sunglasses and proudly went straight to the main entrance of the small building.

Wu Tao had no choice but to pack up his feelings and follow quickly.

The receptionist at the front desk of the company was a middle-aged woman in her early forties, and in the face of Molly's domineering momentum, she still glanced at Molly through the gap above her glasses unhurriedly, and interrogated slowly.

"Do you have appointments?"

"Yes, Molly Soros. Molly looked at the diamond watch and said, "About half past ten in the morning." ”

The middle-aged woman looked up at the wall clock on the wall, "Then it's still two minutes away, please wait, Jeff is in a meeting." ”

is bullish enough, Wu Tao can be regarded as knowledgeable.

In other words, when it didn't turn over two years ago, Palm would definitely not dare to be so snub to a God of Wealth like Molly.

Now that the company is on the right track and has sufficient cash flow, the attitude towards capital is not so eager.

Not only that, but there is even a bit of tacit rejection.

However, Molly seemed to get used to it, and walked to the next lounge and sat down.

Two minutes were fast, and when the middle-aged woman in front of Taiwan walked towards the lounge, Wu Tao had already stood up with Molly.

Passing through the front desk and through the L-shaped corridor, a middle-aged woman ushered the two to a small reception room.

There was nothing but a square table and four chairs.

Molly and Wu Tao sat side by side facing the door of the reception room, and as soon as they sat down, a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes pushed the door in, so in courtesy, the two stood up again.

The middle-aged woman pointed casually and said, "Boss, the guest has been brought." ”

The other nodded, "Oh, Susan, please pour us a cup of coffee, thank you." ”

Susan bowed her head out the door expressionlessly, and Molly got the opportunity to reach out and said, "Mr. Hawkins, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Me too, Miss Soros. Call me Jeff!"

"Then Jeff, allow me to introduce you, Wu from Huaxia. Without waiting for Jeff to sit down across the table, Molly said directly.

Jeff shook Wu Tao's hand lightly, and when he heard that he was from Huaxia, he obviously didn't pay much attention to it.

Wu Tao didn't care, because he could see that the other party was not targeting him, but a typical technical businessman, and the only thing he could value was technology and products, nothing more.

While both parties were seated, Aunt Susan's coffee was also served.

Jeff took a sip of his coffee, then looked at his watch and said, "We have twenty-five minutes left, please start." ”

Wu Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly, people really didn't take themselves seriously.

In these 25 minutes, if you can't get the other party to be interested in you, then the cooperation between the two sides will not be discussed.

So he glanced at Molly and said bluntly: "Jeff, I came this time to negotiate with your company to authorize Palm to produce mobile phones." ”

Jeff's face didn't change much, he just looked at Wu Tao as if he was inquiring, frowning, and looked thoughtful.

Wu Tao's unilateral statement continues, "I believe that the development of mobile phones in the future is bound to enter the era of smart phones." A smartphone that can integrate all aspects of the customer's clothing, food, housing and transportation. And to support such a complex function, it must be supported by the mobile version of the operating system. ”

“...... Therefore, we at Yuanqi Technology, considering the forward-looking technology and the necessity of reserves, came to your company in advance to discuss cooperation, hoping to launch our first smartphone as soon as possible. ”

After Wu Tao finished speaking, he drank half a cup of coffee.

Jeff touched his chin, and his words were not at all unexpected, so his face was still unmoved.

"Wu, I have to reveal to you that, in fact, PalmOS has found a partner in the mobile phone space, and our first Treo smartphone has already entered the design stage. ”

Wu Tao was suddenly a little surprised, so at present, the Treo smartphone has not yet been launched, and the Handspring company that launched Treo does not exist yet?

A bit unexpected. However, Wu Tao quickly gave up delving into these issues and said: "Is it true that your company still thinks that there are too many partners in the field of mobile phones? This should be beneficial and harmless to you, isn't it?"

Jeff rubbed his cheeks and didn't retort. In fact, he is not sure whether the Palm smartphone will be successful. Coupled with the disputes and disagreements between PalmOS and its old employer, there is no time to resolve them.

Wu Tao and Molly exchanged glances and said, "If Mr. Hawkins is questioning the strength of Yuanqi Technology, then ......"

As he spoke, he pulled out the documents he had prepared from his briefcase.

"Then I think this document can give Mr. Hawkins a clearer understanding of our Huaxia Yuanqi Technology and the brand influence of Lotus mobile phones. ”

Jeff took the document and was about to find a reason to send away the two people in front of him, when suddenly his eyes glanced at it so casually, and he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't pull it out of the amazing data.

"Oh my gosh. Jeff suddenly couldn't sit still, "Mr. Wu, your company's Lotus mobile phones have shipped more than 2 million units in the past month, and the ratio of the Chinese market to the international market has reached 3:2?

Because according to this data, the annual shipment of Lotus mobile phones is almost destined to exceed the 10 million mark!

If all PalmOS can be used, wouldn't that mean that the annual shipment of Palm system will exceed the 10 million mark?

This is a great temptation for Jeff.

Wu Tao smiled and said, "Now that the Lotus mobile phone has been launched in the US market, I think Mr. Hawkins can know as long as he knows a little about it." And Miss Molly, who often goes to Huaxia, can also prove it. ”

Molly nodded cooperatively, "Yes, Jeff, I can attest to that. Otherwise, I would not have introduced Mr. Wu to your company. Frankly speaking, Wu had planned to go to BlackBerry to discuss cooperation first. ”

Jeff immediately put down all the shelves, and not only that, but he also had to admit Molly's favor.

"Thank you, Miss Molly, Mr. Wu, I think we can talk about the ways and specifics of our cooperation today. ”

This time, it was Wu Tao's turn to look at his watch and say, "Isn't Mr. Hawkins only twenty-five minutes? In fact, Molly and I only have an hour today." ”

It's really shooting himself in the foot, and Jeff can't wait to take back what he just said.

It's just that as a boss, no matter how eager he is to cooperate, he can't do it.

"For an hour, allow us at Palm to give you a comprehensive introduction......"
