The art of negotiation is to be able to put on a calm and breezy look with a spare tire, which makes the seller himself more anxious than you.

Gu Biao's skills from the Foreign Affairs Academy and later Georgetown are obviously more clever than those of an MBO like Chambers.

In addition, Gu Biao really has more spare tires for industrial development in his hands, and to name a few, it seems that they are faster than doing personal computer business. And Gu Biao also let the other party see clearly that he doesn't have any national team background behind him, he is just a guy who is rushing for money.

It's just that his vision is the most far-reaching and worthy of Chambers among all the electronics giants who are rushing for money.

After chatting for an afternoon, he easily cleaned up Chambers and no longer talked about stock option incentives with him, but obediently followed Tiankun's existing team to compete fairly. Even the timing of the march was completely subject to Gu Ao's arrangement.

"You go back and get ready for the next two months. I have something to do in July, so I'm not in a hurry for the time being. In August, I will open a new independent settlement division under Tiankun to prepare for the personal computer business, and when the time comes, you can successively gather all the teams that you can pull to leave Wang An.

I don't want to set up a new independent company for the time being, because that would be too conspicuous, and I don't want to compete openly with Wang An right now. But I can assure you that the PC business will be spun off into a new subsidiary before the product is released. ”

Chambers didn't argue and accepted the rhythm.

He's only been off for two months, and he kind of wants to come out to work, which doesn't mean that everyone else is the same. Engaging in the IT industry is very tiring, and coders and hardware engineers sometimes point to the window period between leaving and changing jobs, and have a good time for a few months.

In July and August, the weather is so hot, who is impatient to go to work in the new company immediately, it is better to take a vacation to release the pressure.

And most people leave much later than Chambers, only Chambers was passed on by Wang An to his son Wang Lie, and within a few days, he felt that the company had no future and left decisively.

More people are waiting for a month or two before leaving.

So Gu Biao's rhythm is very reasonable.

If Chambers hadn't taken the initiative to come to him today, he would have been in no hurry, and maybe it would have been delayed.

After all, the learning machine of Tiankun has only been on the market for two months. The existing R&D team of Tiankun is also highly cooperating with the post-launch problem feedback and revision of the learning machine project, and cannot spare people to cooperate with the personal computer team.

It will take the fourth quarter of this year to really digest the technical team that defected from Wang An, fully integrate it, and transfer to personal computer research and development.

"I'll go ahead with this schedule. Chambers didn't want to question and try to adjust Gu Biao's rhythm anymore, he just added one thing at the end,

"By the way, Gu, I see that you are very jealous of being targeted by the Wang family's father and son as competitors in advance, in fact, you don't have to be so cautious. Although I am gone, I still have some people who have a good relationship and have been in contact, and they are still lurking in Wang An to watch, and I know what Wang Lie is busy with now.

He didn't put any thought into thinking about future products at all, he was completely eating his old money, and he continued to participate in various foreign governments' industrial strategy seminars, traveled to many developing countries in the past few months, and also posted photos with dignitaries from small third world countries - he thought that in this way, he would be able to make his prestige enough to take over his father's class.

Oh, he may have to go to China in a few months, and in the second half of the year, Times Group will organize a delegation of American entrepreneurs to exchange with the Chinese side. He was busy showing his identity as the 'new CEO of Wang An Computer' again. ”

Gu Biao just smiled and signaled that he knew, as for how he would deal with this problem, there was no need to tell Chambers, a foreigner.

Chambers ended up being a little bored, and he flashed.

……

Mina didn't interject the whole time, after all, she didn't understand the computer business.

When Chambers left, she paid attention to the other party's last words before leaving, and reminded: "Husband, do you think that Wang Lie has been brushing his face everywhere in the world in the past few months, should you be careful?"

Gu Biao laughed: "What does this matter to me." Will Wang Lie take a group photo with more than a dozen dignitaries from small countries, and the backbone middle-level of Wang An's computer will obey him because of this? Or will those investors on Wall Street look down on him because of this, so that Wang An's computer's stock price on the NASDAQ will not fall?"

Mina: "That's not what I meant, I mean, when Wang Lie goes back to talk nonsense with the 'American entrepreneur representatives' of the Times Group, will he fool any people in China, you know that many people still believe in American experts now." ”

When it comes to Times Group, many people may not know about it.

However, if you open the history book, you can notice that in the years from 86 to 88, the world's three major media groups occasionally organized delegations of successful American entrepreneurs to go to China to impart business experience, which can be regarded as a kind of subtle ideological infiltration.

The parent company of Times Group itself started as a newspaper business, but it has abundant capital and controls the Warner system, that is, "Time Warner", through financial holdings, which will span the entire film and television, music, and even other new media distribution in the future.

In the 80s, Times Group and Universal Group were the two largest media groups in the United States, and Murdoch's Fox and Newspaper Group were not rivals of these two. Only in 88 years after Sony swallowed all the Columbia system, barely caught up to the third, since then, the world's "three major media distribution groups" are Times, Universal and Sony.

Wang Lie went to China once in April, but that time he was just starting out as a helper for his father. He wants to brush it again in a few months, apparently to show that "I am already the CEO of Wang An Computer".

Although Wang Lie's destination is definitely not only China, but if he is misleading people, if it is for other poor countries, Gu Biao can ignore it.

If he wants to go back to China to beep blindly, then Gu Biao is still inclined to slap him in the face without paying any cost, let him get away, and don't use the industrial experience and misjudgment that are destined to be brought to the ditch to harm the industrial strategic planners of the Chinese people.

After setting this tone, Gu Biao couldn't help but say to Mina: "Don't worry, I won't let Wang Lie harm the people of the country again, and let him harm Ah San if he wants to do the trouble." As long as he goes back, I'll talk to him. ”

After all, Mina is patriotic, and she is relieved to hear her husband say this.

……

The two spent the last night in Mexico City, and the next day, on July 1, they transferred to Los Angeles.

Gu Biao is also a person in Hollywood who has a Beverly Hills villa and a Long Beach sea-view house-

Five or six years ago, when investing in "The Terminator" made a lot of money, Gu Biao bought a standard one-and-a-half-acre villa in Beverly Hills. The location I bought at that time was also adjacent to the property left by Princess Kelly in Hollywood, mainly because Gu Biao wanted to use her relationship with Tiffany to do something at that time. The house is in a good location, with a direct view of the sunset boulevard from the hill.

{Grace Kelly's Beverly Hills villa was not bought after she became a princess.} It was at the end of the 50s, when she first became an Oscar-winning actress, she bought it with her own salary, so it was not the money of the royal family. }

Three and a half years ago, when Gu Biao acquired Miramax and released "First Blood", he casually got a first-line sea view house in Long Beach, the kind with a trestle and a yacht berth. That would be the same yacht he bought when he was the owner of Seattle.

Mina has also been to the United States several times with Gu Ao, but she has never enjoyed such a pure, stress-free trip to the Southern California sunshine. When I went to New York or Watsonton, it was too north, and the climate was cold and there was no sea to see.

Now it's at least possible to wear a swimsuit and wander on yachts and white sand beaches, and it's not a restrictive dead reservoir.

By the way, it is also good to invite Caroline, Tiffany, and Albert and his female companion to go on the yacht and talk about business.

"Mina, congratulations to Red Bull for winning such a big hit at the World Cup, the order must have gone crazy. While playing on the yacht, Caroline was very temperamental with iced champagne and talked to Mina.

Since last year's wave of operations, Caroline has decided that Mina must have some blood from the last noble of Bailucia, and she is quite happy to socialize with her.

This is not "the sympathy of the rotten aristocracy", people, always tend to associate more with people you think are your kind.

"His Royal Highness is too famous, just to gain a little popularity, to talk about the transformation into market results, it is still far away. But I should congratulate Princess Caroline on its upcoming opening. Mina responded enthusiastically.

"No, I see that before the start of the World Cup, Matschz's orders were unexpected, and at least 20 European national teams bought Red Bull at the end of the qualifiers last year.

Although it is not sponsored, some of them are just bought and drunk, and the sales are also exaggerated. In the past two years, it has doubled every year. Caroline didn't believe Mina's modesty.

By "at least 20 European national teams", she means, of course, any European country, not a World Cup qualifier. Now there are a total of 24 teams in the World Cup, and there are 10~12 places in European countries.

Mina laughed at herself: "It's the European market, with a strong football culture and a high degree of market attention." Red Bull's structure is broken down by country, and the market of rich Asian countries is not too concerned about football, and the countries that pay attention to football are too poor, and I will certainly not be able to compare with Mr. Matterschz in a few years. ”

"That's nothing, what do we women want so much money for, just have a business to ensure income in drought and flood. ”

The group indulged in extravagance for a few days, and then Caroline invited Gu Biao and Mina to take the special plane of the Monaco royal family together and return to Monaco to attend the unveiling ceremony.
