Regarding the negotiations between Apple and Google, Lee Jae-yong also knows about it, but he doesn't know much about it.

In fact, he was not alarmist, and on the side of the group, his father was indeed under a lot of pressure.

Samsung's cooperation with Apple is not the first day, Apple's players, laptops and other electronic products, displays and memory chips are all Samsung products, last year, based on the good cooperation between the two sides in the past, Apple revealed its new product plan to Samsung, asking Samsung to create a suitable processor for this product.

Coinciding with the turmoil in South Korea's domestic mobile phone manufacturing industry, J.H announced bankruptcy in Weikai, blatantly exposed the scandal of Pantai debt operation and on the verge of bankruptcy, as JS invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the fight, the turmoil quickly spread abroad, so that foreign countries watched a big show, and also cast a huge shadow on the image of Korean mobile phones, even Samsung was not spared.

This has made it more difficult for Samsung Electronics, which is already struggling to survive with low profits to resist the erosion of Nokia and Motorola, and in order to stabilize the market, some series of mobile phones have to be sold at a reduced price and operate at a loss. Its parts manufacturing department has also been affected by the turmoil and is unable to compete with other competitors, and urgently needs to develop bulk parts customers to maintain production capacity.

The olive branch handed by Apple was tantamount to a fresh oasis in the desert for Samsung at that time, and Lee Jae-yong's father, Lee Kun-hee, led the team to the United States to visit Apple's new product laboratory as soon as possible, and made Apple an exclusive customer. Separately set aside the production line to build and produce processors for Apple's new products, and accelerated the establishment of a "logic chip" business unit to provide solutions for other functions of the new products.

This decision saved Samsung Electronics to a certain extent at the time, but as Apple postponed the release conference, and there was no accurate news about when it would start again, it seemed to be far away, and the production lines in the several wafer factories that were allocated could only be idle according to the agreement, which was only a little more than a week. The daily consumption of expenses makes the group a little unable to sit still.

According to Lee Jae-yong. In recent meetings, the shareholders' representatives have become more and more urgent, and the pressure on my father has increased. I'm afraid it won't be long. Samsung Electronics is about to fight back at the group meeting. Whether it's tearing up the agreement or forcing the capacity to be sold to other customers, it's possible – right now. At that time, at the time of negotiations last year, Apple was the savior of Samsung Electronics. But more than half a year has passed, J.H and SK shook hands and made peace, without that neuropathy to stir up the situation, coupled with the efforts of the South Korean government, some turmoil has long been suppressed, and Samsung Electronics has no need to rely on Apple to snort.

Moreover, this matter is not kind to Apple, even if Samsung tears up the agreement, it will not damage the brand reputation.

But Lee Jae-yong said that his father highly valued the cooperation with Apple, or that his father believed that Apple's new products had the power to change the market just like the iPod in the past.

Although he has not been in contact with the electronics business for a long time, he often follows his father's side, but he also understands that Samsung Electronics is currently being surrounded and blocked by Motorola and Nokia around the world - maybe the two giants are not specifically targeting Samsung, but their own war for the world's first throne will have a devastating impact on other brands.

Everyone knows that the new reshuffle opportunity of the mobile phone market is in the era of high-speed mobile networks, and now, the high-speed downlink packet access technology has begun to be built in many countries, and the high-speed era is coming, and Samsung Electronics wants to turn over, we must seize this opportunity.

And Lee Kun-hee believes that Apple's new products are tools that can help Samsung seize opportunities!

For this reason, even he, the son-in-law most valued by his father, was sent by his father to recognize Jobs as a teacher, just to develop personal friendships and learn Apple's design concept and business model.

Hearing Steve Jobs' vague answer, Lee Jae-yong was not discouraged, compared with his peers in some domestic families, his vision and wisdom are much more than that, he has long seen clearly, just like his father needs Apple, and Apple also needs Samsung.

At least for now, Samsung is Apple's most suitable component developer, with enough technical reserves to develop suitable solutions, and it is not as dominant in the end market as Nokia or Motorola can threaten the promotion of Apple's new products.

He just silently poured the coffee, brought it to Jobs, and asked respectfully: "Teacher, what is the difficulty, and the negotiation with Google has not been resolved for so long?" Theoretically, most of these negotiations are trade secrets, but he thought to himself that Samsung and Apple are in the honeymoon period, and after such a long delay, Apple must also give Samsung an explanation, and Steve Jobs probably will not hide it from him anymore.

Sure enough, Jobs glanced at him, and after a while, he didn't take care of himself anymore and immersed himself in his thoughts, but thought about it for a while, and gently tapped his fingers on the table, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Speaking of which, it's still because of your compatriots!"

"Compatriots?" said Lee, stunned.

"It's a ...... Ahn Jun-hyuk's young man, do you know him?"

Lee Jae-yong was slightly stunned.

How is this guy again!

How could he not know it, the upper circle in South Korea is so big, Ahn Junhyuk is not qualified to contact it at present, maybe he doesn't know the way, but he knows it very well. Ahn Joon-hyuk's name has spread among the chaebols since J.H. and SK were evenly matched, and SK was finally forced to compromise with Roh Moo-hyun in exchange for Cheong Wa Dae's intervention to force a settlement.

After the first generation returned to the west, no one had the ability to force Choi Tae-won to that part.

Some people who are not convinced will say that Ahn Joon Hyuk and Choi Tae-won are taking advantage of the situation, acting treacherously, and being too aggressive, and it is really unwise to set up a hostile chaebol out of thin air.

Although Lee Jae-yong sometimes feels unconvinced by Ahn Joon-hyuk, he is disdainful of this kind of view. It is true that it is a trick to use the situation, but the war between J.H and SK is unfair in itself, and Ahn Joon-hyuk can keenly grasp the general trend and take advantage of it, that is his cleverness and talent.

As for setting up enemies...... To borrow a phrase from the red country next door: seek peace through struggle. If you live in peace, if you seek peace through compromise, you will die in peace!

Ahn Joon-hyuk is not aggressive, does not muddy the water, and makes everyone float to the surface, let alone defeat SK, an IHQ can use all kinds of unspoken rules to bring J.H down.

Without paying attention to Lee Jae-yong's expression, Jobs didn't seem to be ready to hear his answer, paused, and continued to smile and say, "One is very unrestrained. Very interesting young man. When he was in the United States last year, he made several statements about Facebook in the media, which were refreshing to me. Fully open, dynamic feed. Also the Internet is real...... And also. That open platform plan that he has been talking about!"

In the media he didn't say much. But once he made an appointment with Phil Schiller, and I instructed Phil to inquire in detail about the so-called open platform plan, and I knew that he was in his idea. The ultimate goal of this platform is open source...... A radical openness to the source code level!, he said, is based on Facebook's usual philosophy of openness, but I understand his purpose!", he stroked his beard and smiled paradoxically.

Lee Jae-yong didn't understand it yet, but then he suddenly realized: "Open source, third-party developers will have a deeper understanding of the entire platform, develop more and more mature products, and can also attract more developers to enter the ...... However, ...... "He was a little puzzled, the source code is open, and the above benefits can naturally be achieved, but the disadvantages are also very big, why did Ahn Junhyuk make this decision?

But now is not the time to think about this problem, Lee Jae-yong is very smart, after coming to Apple to study, he also made a lot of preparations, and when he saw Jobs's smiling expression, he suddenly remembered something.

Ahn Jun-hyuk's "full openness" strategy at the source code level is really familiar...... It's like Google......

Google did a lot of such things in order to fight Yahoo and Microsoft, and more importantly, he vaguely read the report that Google acquired a technology company and development team called Android in 05, and there were media reports that the company was developing a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices. However, the development of the operating system is extremely difficult, Google has no similar experience before, and its own behavior is low-key, and it is only casually mentioned in the news, and it disappears, so it does not attract his attention.

At this point, I suddenly thought about it, and then I contacted Steve Jobs to talk about Ahn Junhyuk's "full openness", and related to Apple's negotiations with Google.

Lee was startled and looked up at Steve Jobs.

The old man didn't care about the surprise in his eyes, knocked on the armrest of the sofa, pondered for a moment, and said: "About two weeks before the launch of the iPhone, I rethought an idea for the launch conference, and this idea needs to use a Google product...... But Google ...... Hey, these guys who hurt others and don't benefit themselves are unwilling to let go of my demands, and they are trying to blackmail me in turn. ”

He laughed, couldn't tell what it meant, and then didn't say anything, just said to Lee Jae-yong: "Tell your father, give me another half a month, no matter what, the new product will be announced at the beginning of next month." ”

Li Zaiyong restrained the waves in his heart and nodded respectfully: "Yes!"

……

……

"You mean...... In October last year, Apple asked Google to buy a company called Android owned by Google, and also made a private move to poach that team?

In the hotel's western restaurant, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who listened to Zuckerberg explain the ins and outs, was filled with light and shadow by the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there was a strange look on his cheeks: "Not long after my appointment with Phil Schiller?"

"Of course. Gobbling up a plate of pasta in front of him, Zuckerberg replied vaguely: "Man, you're so cool, Phil Schiller said it was Jobs' idea, and after hearing about your open platform plan, he seems to think that the Android operating system that Google is developing is a threat, and since then, he has been trying to snatch it back from Google." But Google didn't let go at all, until the end of December, before Apple's new product launch conference, Jobs came up with a new idea, needed to use one of Google's products, and then Google began to sit on the ground and start the price...... You know, Eric Schmidt and Larry Page must have hated Steve Jobs to death, and they demanded that Apple withdraw negotiations on Android before agreeing to Apple's use of Google's products!"

Saying that, Zuckerberg gloated a little: "It is said that the development of Google's Android has come to a standstill, and several main engineers of the development team, except for Andrew, the leader of the team, have all been poached by Apple...... Of course, Google is not a good thing and deserves to be poached!"

He also remembered Larry Page's idea of hitting Facebook.

Ahn Joon-hyuk ignored his bad taste, and just looked at this unrecognizable "future" with some tears and laughter!

He never imagined that his original intention to tell Phil Schiller about Facebook's open platform strategy to facilitate future integration into the Apple ecosystem would have such an impact. Zuckerberg is hostile to Google, believing that Google will pose a threat to Facebook, and Ahn Jun-hyuk, who has dream memories as a reference, is naturally more certain.

After the launch of the third-party developer platform project, in his conception, the ultimate battle with Google is to fight a battle with Google - a war between the Facebook ecosystem and the Google ecosystem in the embryonic stage, whoever wins, whose ecosystem will rule the social field.

Facebook is weak, and the only thing to do in the face of Google is open source.

It's just that he didn't expect that this concept of "open source" would make Steve Jobs wary of Google.

But when you think about it, it makes sense. In my memory, at the beginning, few people noticed that Google privately developed a mobile device operating system, because it is extremely difficult to develop a mature operating system, especially now that the intelligent standard is in the hands of Symbian and BlackBerry, without the devastating technological innovation of iOS, few people will use their imagination to think that an operating system that is many years later than Symbian and Blackberry can completely destroy the old market and even set new standards.

Only Jobs was full of confidence in this goal, and only Jobs could profoundly foresee the destruction of a piece of history.

In the past, he may not have paid attention to Google's development of Android, after all, iPhone.OS (the original name of iOS) is more mature, but when he sees another possibility from Ahn Joon-hyuk, his sensitive sense of smell must smell the crisis!

He was able to guess what would happen if Google completely open-sourced Android after the launch of the iPhone - whether it was Symbian, Blackberry or iPhone.OS were semi-closed or fully closed, and others would have to find a way to get permission if they wanted to use it, in which case there was a new system that was open source and free...... The impact will be far greater than the impact of Linux on Windows! (To be continued......
