Cook and Apple's people were anxious to see Ren Yan soon, but Ren Yan himself was still thinking about life in the office with a dark cloud covering his brows at this time.

Three months is really tight for Loongson's current situation......

However, the problem in front of him is not completely unsolvable, but it is very troublesome to operate, and the degree of trouble makes Ren Yan feel that he has a feeling of lack of energy.

That is, the redemption exemption of the points mall rewarded by the last round of tasks has been used, and the amount of more than 4 billion points has been directly replaced with the production line, which will increase the production capacity of Loongson to the maximum, and at the same time, through the mature supply and distribution channels of world-class manufacturers such as Apple, the establishment of a smooth sales channel network around the world.

And to do that, you have to get these first-class manufacturers to ......

Bow your head like an apple.

Otherwise, why would others divide their mature distribution network to pave the way for Loongson?

Unless you can become your own family in the future like Apple.

This is not impossible, because with the passage of time, the market is Loongson sooner or later, no matter how proud these companies are to uphold the pride of corporate culture, they can only kneel down for Loongson in the end.

But Ren Yan couldn't wait for time to pass and let such a thing happen naturally.

He only has three months to go, and the countdown to this round of main quests has begun, and he will definitely not be able to drag it out.

In order to avoid things like the last round of the main quest where the fixed rewards were partially withdrawn, the sooner these preparations for the Loongson global market are completed, the greater the certainty of completing the task perfectly.

"I didn't have a choice, now I just want to buy you all. ”

Ren Yan muttered such a sentence silently, and the office landline bell rang.

The phone is connected.

"Mr. Ren Dong, Mr. Cook has arrived. ”

……

A soundproof compartment in the VIP reception room, with only a few people inside.

Ren Yan sat on the sofa, next to him was a secretary who was looking at his notebook with a serious face and ready to take notes at any time.

On the opposite side are the three Apple executives led by Cook, as well as their respective secretaries.

"Mr. Ren, when we were in China, we had a deep discussion about the requirements you put forward with us last time, and in the board of directors, we enriched and detailed the specific cooperation plan. Cook said to Ren Yan with a smile.

Ren Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Mr. Cook, it's not the first time we've met, you don't have to act so rusty." Earlier, I have learned part of the situation in the conference call, and this time the intention of your personnel to come, Loongson has been prepared in advance. ”

"However, now is not the time to really talk about business, your party has been tired from traveling, and you must not have rested well, so today is not suitable for talking about business. I, as the host, have to entertain you distinguished guests. So we're going to do it tomorrow afternoon, what do you think?"

The last time he came to Loongson, Ren Yan also arranged for Cook and others to play first, and this time, he let Cook and others rest......

Cook wasn't too surprised, but the other two Apple executives who accompanied him were stunned for a moment.

As business elites, they think more often about efficiency, so when Ren Yan proposed to rest first, the two subconsciously felt that it was a waste of time.

Although he himself was thinking that he could get to the point right away, Cook still nodded: "I'm not in a hurry, just do what you want." ”

Just as he was about to ask Joey to put away the notebook for the minutes of the meeting, Cook heard Ren Yan say something he didn't expect.

"The real business, let's talk about it on a formal occasion tomorrow, but before that......" Ren Yan looked at the time on his watch: "There are still two hours before the dinner we arranged for your VIPs, why don't we take advantage of this time to briefly talk about some of your thoughts and our own, and get to the bottom in advance, and it will be much more efficient to communicate tomorrow." ”

Cook nodded, waiting for Ren Yan's next step.

In fact, Ren Yan was not ready to arrange this one, he is now thinking about how to ensure the successful completion of the third stage of the main quest, and the reason why he decided to explain something in advance is because the route to complete the quest just now can start from Apple.

The beginning here does not mean that it is as simple as directly letting Apple distribute the channel to Loongson, and to let Apple do this, you can only wait until Loongson really holds 30% of Apple's shares.

Because of the cooperation with Loongson, in fact, it is not that Apple is willing to do this, but because of the advanced degree of Loongson's technology, Apple has lost its core competitiveness in the market, from the decision to cooperate with Loongson to the willingness to accept Ren Yan's bottom line, it is a helpless situation.

Although Apple's status in the future will indeed be similar to Loongson's "son", but tiger poison does not eat children...... If Loongson directly and rudely asks Apple to distribute distribution channels to Loongson, without any compensatory measures, it will inevitably cause Apple's vitality to be greatly damaged, and even these high-level executives will bottom out and rebound and directly transform into "rebels".

Ren Yan wants to inform Apple of the situation in his mind now and test the resilience of the other party.

"Yes, Mr. Cook, I was pleased to have received the support of the Board of Directors the last time you were away to inform you of your bottom line. This not only enables Loongson to provide you with strong technical support, but also makes the cooperation between our two companies solid and reliable. ”

Cook smiled, thinking that Ren Yan was saying polite words: "Ren, this will definitely be a win-win cooperation." ”

Ren Yan nodded and continued: "So, since we will have such conditions in the future, I want to advance some things that were supposed to be a little later......"

"What do you mean?" asked an Apple executive sitting next to Cook, keenly puzzled.

"To be honest, Loongson is not able to immediately win your 30% of the hard strength of the shares, that is to say, to really reach the time of this clause in our contract, will be put a little later, before that, Loongson layout of the global strategic business plan, I want to advance it, to complete such a thing, need Apple's help. ”

Ren Yan paused, and looked at the three people opposite him seriously: "I want Apple to provide the support of free distribution channels, and divide no less than half of the channel network to supply Loongson equipment terminals and corresponding components for market supply, and make every effort to help Loongson roll out global market channels." ”

All three of them were stunned.

Even the secretary who was making notes for Ren Yan was dumbfounded.

After a few seconds, Cook said with a shocked face: "Mr. Ren, you ...... Are you kidding?"

Ren Yan had a smile on his face.

"When it comes to business, I'm never joking. ”

Which Apple executive, who had raised a question before, immediately spoke: "Mr. Ren, this condition is absolutely unacceptable to us. ”

Cook also looked embarrassed, although he got along with Ren Yan in private, but after Ren Yan said this, he could only shake his head: "Mr. Ren, such conditions ......"

"Eh, you don't need to be alert right away, since I can say such a thing, then I will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory quid pro quo. ”

Ren Yan gave a gesture to the three people sitting opposite, motioning for everyone to use tea.

After Cook took a sip of tea, Ren Yan continued: "Our request is what I just said, and the exchange conditions that we can give you are to give Apple the best cooperation conditions in the future in the enterprises that establish cooperation with Loongson, whether it is products or technology, Loongson will always maintain to provide Apple with more or better content than other cooperative enterprises, and maintain Apple's market competitiveness is always better than the top level in the industry." ”

Cook put down his teacup, and after hearing this, the three of them hesitated at the same time.

The conditions that Ren Yan said did make them very tempted.

The reason why we chose to cooperate with Loongson, and even so far, we are willing to agree to hand over 30% of the shares and almost sell ourselves to Loongson, is because after the emergence of various advanced technologies led by Loongson, all non-Loongson companies in the entire industry will lose their market competitiveness.

In order to survive in such a wave of sudden technological change, Apple, which foresaw the inevitable occurrence of this market phenomenon, had to choose this.

It is impossible to say whether such a choice is the best or the worst, because this is their only choice, and they have no right to other choices, so naturally it is not good or bad.

If you reach a cooperation with Loongson as soon as possible, you will be able to seize the opportunity in the future Loongson era in the future, if you are late...... Then you can only watch the apple completely cool.

Therefore, when Ren Yan said that he would maintain Apple's competitiveness in the market higher than other manufacturers in the future, Cook and others would be tempted.

Since its establishment, Apple's global sales network has matured beyond any maturity, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the industry.

You must know that Apple's pre-sales and after-sales service has always been the object of learning from a number of other manufacturers, and the sales scope of distribution outlets in major cities is difficult for many brands to reach.

But all of this is based on the fact that the product is good enough and someone buys it.

In the future, Loongson will inevitably dominate the global market with an unstoppable attitude, and then ......

At that time, other products, whether Apple or Sansang, would lose their market competitiveness.

To put it simply, their products can't catch up with Loongson's high quality and low price, and even lag behind a lot, how can consumers be willing to spend more money to buy these products that are not as good as Loongson?

Without market competitiveness, what can we do with such a mature sales network?

This time the cooperation between Apple and Loongson, Apple is willing to agree to the bottom line of Sancheng shares, in order to let its products use Loongson's technology, get Loongson's technical support, and let its products still have many consumers willing to buy.

But...... Loongson can cooperate with Apple in such a way with such a attitude, and it may not be impossible to cooperate with other companies such as Apple's rival Sansang......

In this way, the market competitiveness of each enterprise will return to the same running line, everyone uses Loongson's technology, the market response is good or bad, and you have to rely on the various capabilities of its own brand to control it as before Loongson participated in the market.

This has been carefully discussed by Apple in the board of directors before.

At that time, the high-level discussions came to the opinion that they were not afraid of such a situation in the future.

First of all, according to Ren Yan's cooperation with Apple, Loongson has the right to win 30% of the shares, for other companies that cooperate with Loongson, this bottom line will not be high, this point, in the first formal cooperation meeting that Cook came over, has been given a clear answer by Ren Yan.

Secondly, if you consider it according to the trend that Loongson will cooperate with a number of companies or even the entire industry, in the end, it is actually equivalent to Loongson drilling out and cutting leeks halfway, and then the market will return to normal, and leeks will continue to grow.

Everyone will develop in a situation similar to that before Loongson entered the market, and whether it can develop benignly for a long time depends on the company's own operation.

Apple is not afraid, because Apple was the boss before Loongson entered the market, and even after Loongson came out, Apple's position as the boss may not be shaken too much.

But......

If, as Ren Yan said at this time, he is willing to give Apple more favorable conditions, so that Apple will be more supported by Loongson in the future than other companies......

This means that Apple will win directly at the starting line, and even take advantage of such an opportunity to completely defeat the old rival Sansang!

If the three of them were not moved when they heard such conditions, it must be false.

When the three of them were thinking, Ren Yan smiled and continued to interrupt the three of them: "I don't know what you think?"

What do you think?

Cook swallowed.

What can we mean about this?

It can only be-

Oh no! It's a heart-warming feeling!

But the heart doesn't have to be right away......

If you are properly reserved, you can also better show your external image......

Let's Apple...... After all, it's a big company! How can it casually act like a third-rate small company?

Cook quickly put away the relaxed expression on his face, his brow furrowed.

As if he had made such a great determination, Cook frowned and said slowly: "It is true that the conditions you gave Mr. Ren are very tempting, but ...... You also know that you have a 50% channel like this...... For a company like Apple, it's too harsh. We need a moment to think about it, and we can't get back to you right now. ”

Another Apple executive next to him is making additions, but his acting skills are obviously not as good as Cook's.

Compared to Cook's sad face, this blonde foreigner looks a little pompous.

The face with a high nose and big eyes, the upper half of the face is frowning, but there is a smile on the bottom, and the words that come out are even more strange......

"Mr. Ren, this is really too difficult a condition, and as Mr. Cook said, we may need some time to think about it, and ...... I don't think the probability of such a condition being approved by the board of directors is not very high, so I ......"

The foreigner sighed decently and did not continue.

Ren Yan: "......"

's clumsy acting skills made Ren Yan, who has [actor skills] and [director skills], quite an urge to shout "Get out of the box and leave with a boxed lunch".

You like acting, don't you?

"Uh...... Well, in that case, I didn't say what I said just now...... It's not too early, let's pack up and get ready to go to the banquet hall together!"

Ren Yan was about to get up.

In the end, the Apple executive couldn't help it.

"Mr. Ren, although it is really difficult to pass the resolution of the board of directors, I think that if we contact the board of directors now......"

His Adam's apple moved.

"It's okay to give you an initial reply within an hour. ”

The scene reversed so quickly that the secretary eldest brother, who was taking minutes of the meeting for Ren Yan, almost dropped the laptop on his lap to the ground......
