Looking at Andy's expression, everyone, including Eric, couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, Nima's, God won't pay attention to greedy vampires!

Just like Andy said, he is more optimistic about the future listing of Liberty City APP than anyone else, and he will definitely not take out too many shares for the first round of financing.

After all, if the company wants to develop, it needs a lot of money, although he has money and can play by himself, but in the face of Apple's competitive advantage and the entry of new players, Andy has to make strategic changes and pull one by one.

If Google is really allowed to set up an app store, Andy's Free City will only end up in a three-legged situation in the face of the bundled sales strategy that Apple and Google will inevitably implement under the premise of lacking the advantages of system programs.

The three-legged stand is just the best result in a level playing field. However, Google and Apple, which have a monopoly position, will definitely play the drama of "the essence of business is profit-seeking" and kick the free city out of the game completely.

Apple, for example, bundled its own browser on iOS and removed its competitors, Google Maps and Turtles.

The reason why Google has opened the Android system for free is to turn the Android system into a tool, in addition to the speed of information to occupy the smartphone system market, more importantly, to strengthen its dominance in the search engine market, you must know that Google requires mobile phone manufacturers to set Google as the default search engine. Prevent existing competitors and potential competitors from competing with value-based innovations for better mobile phone systems.

Just like many years ago, Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer in its Windows system, and finally overrode Netscape.

"I know and admit that you Google have a huge advantage because of Android, which is why I am willing to accept your willingness to become a shareholder.

However, this does not mean that you can use it as a bargaining chip to pressure us, and it is precisely because of your advantage that we will include this exclusive condition in the agreement.

Do you know why Apple didn't want to block us and kick us out of the IOS market, but never did?"

Andy asked with a warm smile on his face and a hint of playfulness in his tone, looking at the solemn expressions of the people on the Google team opposite, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, and he didn't need the other party to answer.

"This is thanks to the fact that the United States, as well as many Western countries, strongly encourages free competition and protects emerging start-ups. So, monopoly is its original sin.

Any use of bundling or exclusivity agreements to undermine competitors and cement their market leadership will result in an antitrust lawsuit.

Steve Jobs, and even Apple's board of directors... Oh, I almost forgot, Erik, you're still on Apple's board of directors, but it's okay, I'm not afraid to put it more bluntly.

Because Apple knows very well that once it uses an exclusive agreement or directly blocks Free City, Apple will face our global antitrust lawsuits, and we will fight to the end at all costs!"

Andy smiled calmly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, and his eyes flashed as he looked at Eric, who had a slightly embarrassed expression on the other side, and saw that the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

Eric felt the gaze of everyone, including his subordinates, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he had already begun to curse in his heart, at the Apple board of directors, it was indeed discussed to block Freedom City, but for the mad dog character of the young man in front of him, it also made many people jealous.

Now listening to Andy say it directly to his face, Eric seems to have run past 10,000 divine beasts in front of him, and he is as disgusting as spitting KUo water at him.

In fact, Eric is also very struggling right now, and Andy said that the problem is also that he needs to make a decision as soon as possible, Google and Apple are increasingly competitive in many core areas, and he must choose between the CEO of Google and the members of Apple's board of directors.

Therefore, Andy's words really poked Eric in the eye!

"There is a way around it, and a vibrant ecosystem, with fast updates and lower prices being typical of strong competition. And bundling is a very common sales behavior, which isn't a big deal.

Let's get down to business, let's not go around in circles, we at Google are very optimistic about the future of Liberty City, but this stake really can't make us accept such a demanding request from you.

We must ensure the interests of Google, after all, once we join Liberty City, Liberty City will become an indispensable part of the Android system as the largest channel for obtaining third-party applications on Android, which will bring more revenue and traffic to Liberty City, which I believe you are also very aware of.

Less than 10% of the shares are not attractive to us at Google, so we have to reconsider building our own app store!"

Looking at the smiling expression on Eric's face, Andy also sighed in his heart, yes, he meowed in vain, he was used to monopolizing business, and the dominant enterprises were not easy to meow with.

In fact, Andy also knows very well that if he wants to co-opt Google and let it no longer use its own APP app store, there is not enough interest, and the other party will definitely not agree.

Even if it is to let it join, in Andy's mind, Google is also making the idea of wanting to completely acquire or slowly encroach, playing a dove to occupy the magpie's nest.

Andy has no doubt that they will plan this way, but he is not very worried, the main purpose of this financing is to let Google take the bait, so that Liberty City, which has temporarily fallen into a bottleneck in development, can make up for the last shortcomings in the system foundation, and focus more on competing with Apple.

He also thought about facing Google's lion mouth, 5%, 10% or even all 15% of the announced financing this time could not satisfy Google's appetite, because empathy, if it was Andy himself, it would never be possible to agree.

Even if Google cannot predict that the Android operating system may occupy 95% of the global market share of licensable intelligent mobile operating systems in the future, Google still has some confidence in the market prospects and development of the Android system.

"Let's tell your bottom line, if we can cooperate, we naturally hope to have one more friend, not one more competitor. Andy's face was indifferent, and his eyes met Eric's without flinching.

"If we can, we at Google are willing to buy and acquire Liberty City in the form of cash and stock by 20% above its current valuation!"

"Hehe, sure enough, you are really playing this kind of idea, forget about the merger and acquisition, let's talk about your final plan, we are all sincere, there is no need to continue to waste time. Andy shook his head and smiled, and said lightly with sharp eyes on the other party.

"Since the merger doesn't happen, then our conditions remain the same, 30% of the shares and three board seats... ”

"30% is impossible, you can only give you one board seat, you can serve in Liberty City, 15%, I will also take 5% to introduce a few more investment companies, 2% as a company equity incentive... ”

"15% is too little, at least 25%, no less, we, as the owner of the Android system, must ensure our own interests... ”

"There are only so many, and after the B round and C round of financing, I must have enough chips in my hands, I don't want to make a wedding dress for her! Moreover, the future valuation of Liberty City will be more than 5 billion. ”

Eric looked at Andy's attitude of biting down and not letting go, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he just wanted to say a few threatening words, but when he saw a hint of a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, Eric still suppressed the idea of teasing Andy's emotions.

"20%, two board seats, the current valuation is up 20%, this is already our bottom line, if this can't be done, then, we don't need to talk about it, at the same time, in the future B round, C round of financing, we have priority, make up 20% of the shares!"
