Yukiko Morita sneezed in the huge, luxurious office and frowned, "What's the matter?"
I didn't know that it served as Liu Chen's negotiating tool.
Of course, there was nothing to lose to her.
That's the game.
It's true that I don't get too much benefit, but I can make you lose more.
Jobs was angry, he knew very well what Gates was like, and if he was given this sword, he would definitely cut it down! The two had been fighting for many years, and they were both friends and enemies of each other, and they also cherished each other a little.
As for Yukiko Morita, this girl impressed him, she was by no means as humble and gentle as she appeared to be, and Soni Digital Music was Apple's biggest competitor.
"Tell me about your conditions. β
"5% stake in Apple, iPod-Mini global sales ......"
"I said, tell me your conditions, don't go around in circles, the conditions you really want, what you say, I can't agree to it. β
"That's what I really want, it's just that I know you can't promise me. β
Jobs was furious, "Since you know that I can't agree, then tell me what I might agree to." β
"What conditions you might agree to? Mr. Jobs, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how can I know, it's up to you. Liu Chen successfully kicked the ball back again.
The skills at the negotiation table, whoever shows the hole cards first, will undoubtedly be passive.
Time is really running out, and Jobs doesn't want to waste a meaningless mind, this time he has to solve the hidden dangers and not affect the timing of the iPod mini release.
"Give you a one-time $10 million, and I can promise that the iPod series will not enter the Chinese market within a year, which is my bottom line. Jobs said with blazing eyes, this is undoubtedly very fair, of course, now entering the Chinese market, the future is unpredictable, it is better to be a favor.
"The current exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Huaxia currency is 8.278, and 10 million U.S. dollars is 82.78 million in the past, which is much more than the profit of your Yinba company in a year, and there is no more cost-effective deal. "Jobs believed that absolute numbers are absolutely seductive, think about it, young man, getting $10 million at once, enough to live in the United States for a lifetime.
"Ha, it's really attractive, it reminds me of more than half a year ago, there was also a person who came to me, at that time, our Yinba company was just emerging, and she opened 100 million Huaxia coins to buy it with one mouth, to be honest, I was dumbfounded. β
Heh, it's strange if you're not stupid!, Jobs thought to himself, and felt that it was wrong, "Then why didn't you sell the sound master?"
"It's very simple, I don't like too much money, and I always feel that it is not practical to hold it in my hands. β
Then you don't want a penny, Jobs was really confused by this young man, his heart is blacker than ink for a while, and he is high and bright for a while?" β
"Mr. Jobs, you know, I can't agree to such an alliance under the city, I love Apple very much, and I myself admire you very much, in this case, I give in, don't pay compensation, exchange it for 1% of Apple's shares......"
Jobs held 11.3% of Apple's shares at its peak, and after being kicked out of Apple by shareholders, he sold these shares, leaving only 1 share, and when Apple acquired Next Computer, he got another 1.5 million shares, but in 1997 he sold again, symbolically leaving 1 share, and later became CEO, holding less than 1% of Apple's shares, or about 5.5 million shares, accounting for only about 0.585% of the shares.
In the minds of ordinary fruit fans, the day Jobs returns to the nest is the time when the apple Jedi rebounds. That's a good thing, but the product that really brought Apple out of the shadow of the past is none other than the iPod that came out in October 2001. However, even with the birth of the iPod, the industry is still not optimistic about Apple, and the stock price has not ushered in a pattern of big rises and small returns.
After the iPod was launched, Apple's stock price plummeted 41 percent in just four months from May to September 2002! In 2003, Apple's stock price was relatively stable, but it still plummeted 17 percent in just two months at the end of the year. Not long ago, after Apple announced the postponement of the IPOD-mini, the stock price fell another 5% in just a few days, and the closing price was less than $10 today.
If you look back on the decade from 2014, then the stock with the highest return on investment is none other than Apple, which Liu Chen remembers deeply, how can this opportunity be missed! As early as after the second generation of Yinba went public to gain a firm foothold and obtain cash flow, he has been paying attention to Apple's stock price, just before coming to the United States, he successively bought 10 million US dollars, about 1.1 million shares, accounting for a little more than one thousandth of the total share capital, this is already the largest cash flow that Yinba can come up with, if it is not for the absolute popularity, accessories manufacturers and foundries have agreed to delay payment for three months, then Yinba will not be able to operate.
However, although Gong Hui couldn't figure it out about Liu Chen's decision, she didn't have any doubts, after all, it has been proved many times that Liu Chen's vision and thinking have never been wrong.
Therefore, even if Liu Chen concedes and proposes 1% of the shares, the total value is close to 100 million US dollars, which is too big a gap with the 10 million US dollars that Jobs can give.
"That's enough, in that case, there's no need for us to talk about it. Speaking of the present, without sincerity, Jobs moved his liver and stood up directly, which is also one of his killer skills in negotiations, and he walked out the door without hesitation, he firmly believed that he would hear: pleasestop, Mr-jobs.
However, Mr. Jobs pushed the door and went out, still not hearing the stop, but the sentence: "Mr. Jobs, goodbye, I'm sure we'll meet again, I wish the iPod a big sell." β
"It's just a simplified version to woo low-end consumers. Jobs stopped and said very politely, which means, don't think that you are holding a treasure, the mini is just an inconsequential product.
"Mr. Jobs, why don't you make a bet? The reason why you don't give me too many benefits is to underestimate the market prospects of the iPod-mini, and I dare say it will be the best-selling product since Apple's founding, not one of them. Liu Chen said firmly, "Haha, I sincerely hope that your company's products will sell well, after all, every time I sell more, my interests will be infringed upon." β
"It's not a good thing for young people to be sharp, they are destined to suffer setbacks, don't think how accurate your vision is, reality will give you a resounding slap in the face. β
Jobs turned blue and beckoned to Cook, "Let's go." β
Looking at the boss's face, you can see that the conversation is not going well, and Cook stands up and leaves without saying a word.
βfunk-son-of-bitchγ β
Jobs left with a word.
Hanzi and Zach were dumbfounded, didn't they negotiate? )
