Qiantang, Fengfu.

Mr. Lamond, the head of Apple's Greater China region, hurriedly sat in his Maybach 600 car and rushed from Hujiang to Qiantang to personally preside over the negotiations. He was accompanied by the CEO of Apple Trading (Hujiang) Co., Ltd., which is, after all, the last company to pay financially.

It's a pity that Feng Jianxiong not only hung them for a long time, but also didn't give a good face as soon as they met.

"100 million dollars want to buy me, Feng someone gave up going against Qiao Gou? ”

After the two sides of the negotiation met, the first sentence Feng Jianxiong said made Rammond almost choke on a mouthful of blood.

Not satisfied with $100 million?

How much hatred, how much hatred?

And dare to speak out?

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Cook was more stable and knew that it was most important to stabilize the brand image first, and money was a trivial matter...... He Lamond won't come to negotiate today!

This kind of thing, if the old thief Qiao personally commands it, he can't be subdued until he dies.

Lamond is also a veteran negotiator, of course, he knows that he can't blindly give in, but should grasp it with both hands: "Mr. Feng! I'm here today to give you a chance, and this is still up to the instructions of Mr. Cook, the COO of the group."

If you have to break the net with us, then we at Apple are not spending it on you within the scope of the current conflict - we have the money and the power to support all the people you have offended! I don't know what means they will use to retaliate against you. ”

Lamond has been in China for many years, so he knows a little Chinese. For today's negotiations, I also fought hard, and even such a black line was moved, and I don't know if it was made up from TVB's underworld films.

"Mr. Lamond, don't speak Chinese well. The Chinese language is broad and profound, and your wording is easy for people to misunderstand that you just watched Zhou Xingxing's "Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint", and then came to learn how to sell it now. ”

Feng Jianxiong was sarcastic, then clapped his hands, beckoned the female secretary over, and then whispered.

After a while, the door of the upstairs study opened, and Yu Meiqin kicked her high heels with an unhappy look and staggered into the reception room, blaming Feng Jianxiong for interrupting her negotiation with her eyes.

Behind Yu Meiqin, there was also an uncle, with an Asian face, who looked quite polite - in fact, this uncle came to negotiate with Feng Jianxiong today, and before Lammond came, it was indeed Feng Jianxiong who had been talking to him.

It's just that Lamond was in a hurry after his sudden visit, and after Feng Jianxiong hung for 20 minutes, he had to come out to pick up the customers in person, which allowed Yu Meiqin to stabilize the old customers first.

Otherwise, Feng Jianxiong would not let the beautiful classmate receive uncle-type customers alone in his house.

Rammond watched Feng Jianxiong acting coldly, but he was not in a hurry to continue to sarcastically and cruelly talk immediately, he wanted to see what tricks Feng Jianxiong could toss.

When he saw the middle-aged man with an Asian face, Ramon was slightly stunned, it seemed a little familiar, he should have met a few times, but he couldn't remember the name.

Maybe it's the kind of peer who often has several connections at international conferences?

The Asian uncle obviously had a much better memory, and immediately came over to shake hands very kindly and casually: "Yo, isn't this Mr. Lamond?" I haven't seen you for a long time, and the last time I talked about it was at the 'Cross-border Service Product Trade Exchange Conference' organized by the Hujiang Municipal Government. ”

As soon as the other party opened his mouth to tell him about his relationship, Lamond immediately remembered, and immediately talked half vigilantly and half suspiciously: "Mr. Goren Timata, I didn't expect to see you here." You won't be ......."

It turned out that the short-haired Asian-faced uncle was the head of Sony Entertainment's Greater China.

THE PSN CROSS-BORDER SERVICE TRADE PROMOTED BY SONY IS VERY SIMILAR TO APPLE'S APP-STORE.

In addition, Sony is also only slightly inferior to Apple's international software and content service giant, and both companies have their Greater China headquarters in Shanghai.

Therefore, Lamond and Timda Goren occasionally meet at seminars and exchange receptions organized by the Hujiang Municipal Government or various associations.

Now that he is in the Feng Mansion, it is naturally difficult for Tamada Goren to take the initiative to say the purpose of his trip - because Rammond has not even said his guess, and Tarata Goren is too active to explain, which makes him appear weak-hearted and has fallen into Sony's prestige.

The total market capitalization/valuation of the Sony Group adds up (not all of the Sony Group's businesses are listed, so there is no total market capitalization, and some industries only have valuations.) And Apple is listed as a whole), and there are at least two or three hundred billion dollars. Although it is not as good as Apple, it is more than half of Apple.

It's just that Sony relies on countless industries to put together such a big business, so it looks far less beautiful than Apple, which has one or two fist products to cover the world. And in the first two years of the PS3 game console, Sony suffered a huge loss on the game console, and the subsidy for content exclusivity was too much, and it was being pressed by Microsoft XBOX, which was not too subsidized for exclusivity. So the current Sony is relatively low-key in front of its peers.

(But it turns out that after years of subsidy monopoly, Microsoft has been forced into a situation where "the machine is good, but there is no magic to play.") Later, Sony's game console industry still relied on long-term profits to get back, in the final analysis, game consoles are good, not as good as games. APPLE'S IPHONE HARDWARE PERFORMANCE IS ACTUALLY NOT GOOD, BUT IT CAN'T STAND THE SOFTWARE VENDORS WHO ARE WILLING TO PUT EFFORT INTO OPTIMIZING THE IOS VERSION. ）

Just when Tian Tianwuren was at a stalemate in an embarrassing conversation, Feng Jianxiong took the initiative to speak and broke this layer of window paper:

"Mr. Lamond — I really don't have time to earn $100 million in consulting fees. Now, Mr. Gohito Tima has already given me a consulting fee of $100 million for three years.

The firm I worked for helped them mediate the issue of policy circumvention of PSN services in China in the next few years. I can still take a lot of such customers, and for the sake of competition, I don't plan to make Apple's money. ”

When Rammond heard this, he immediately changed color, and he looked at Goren Tima in surprise: "Sony asked him to prohibit non-competition?"

Rammond's suspicions are not entirely unreasonable.

Because many loopholes in the law cannot be used too many times, and if they are used too much, it is easy for the highest legislative level to notice them, and then amend the law to plug the loopholes.

SONY'S PSN SERVICE AND APPLE'S APP-STORE BOTH HAVE SOME SENSITIVE ISSUES - FOR EXAMPLE, HOW TO PUT IN GAMES THAT MANY FOREIGNERS THINK ARE HARMONIOUS, BUT CHINESE PEOPLE FEEL ARE NOT HARMONIOUS?

What are the legal and policy penalty risks if you provide backup and retention warranty for players in the Bank of China, and then buy those games that the mainland feels are illegal?

These problems, if Feng Jianxiong really has the ability to catch the loopholes, help Sony get through the customs for a few years, and open up the doubts of the Chinese market. Then, if he uses it again and helps Apple do the same, maybe he will be noticed, and the window period for profiting from loopholes may be shortened.

Therefore, Lamond believes that it is possible for Tamada to do so.

Tiantian Wuren was anxious all of a sudden, he didn't want to be used by Feng Jianxiong for nothing, so he hurriedly defended: "No, I just asked Mr. Feng not to accept the commission of Microsoft and Nintendo after taking the $100 million! Don't get me wrong, even if it's Microsoft, we are just guarding against their X-BOX business, and it has nothing to do with their PC business! Sony's mobile phone has never thought of breaking into the Chinese market!"

Both Microsoft and Nintendo make game consoles, hence this argument

After that, he thought about it for a while, and added: "Maybe Samsung or Google are talking to Mr. Feng." If there is a non-compete clause for mobile phone system suppliers. ”

Feng Jianxiong glanced at Tiantian Wuren, shook his head and smiled indifferently.

He didn't expect the other party to be a free shield for him, and he didn't need it. It's just to give Rammond eye medicine and prove that he is worth a giant of this level to woo him, so there is no need to talk nonsense with Apple.

The business is endless.

Feng Jianxiong can toss in the field of intellectual property rights and cross-border service trade, and he can't do more than just the business of all giants.

When it comes to this, Ramon can only admit it.

Feng Jianxiong left him and went to talk to Tiantian Wuren about the details of the cooperation first.

Tima Wuren is not stupid and will not throw money at random. But this is not because Feng Jianxiong's ability to make waves is big enough, so he came to pay the protection fee and buy peace of mind. The price of $100 million for three years was agreed at the beginning, and the disagreement was nothing more than the details of some service scope.

After all, they also took a fancy to Feng Jianxiong's many public relations and momentum building skills in the intellectual property trading world.

After chatting for a long time, Feng Jianxiong was also more righteous, and 7788 agreed to a lot of work.

But in fact, he also knows that in the legal service part, unless there is a kind of business model that requires great creativity and has never been seen before, and he needs to handle it personally, the rest of the work still has to be outsourced - with his own energy, as well as Yu Meiqin and Shi Nicole, it is impossible to meet the legal needs of such a multinational group in China.

For those "manual work", let Director Fei arrange manpower. Anyway, the other party was originally one of the top few law firms in the province, although it can't be compared with the top law firms in Hujiang (the firm in charge of legal affairs originally hired by Sony is the top law firm in Hujiang), but the gap is not very obvious.

After all, he knows the details of the country's legal tightness and blind spots in intellectual property rights and cross-border trade in services in the next decade. These things are sold at Sony's price, and Sony will think it's worth it.

Feng Jianxiong doesn't do anything every year, so he first draws 100 million yuan, and then gives it to Director Fei. When the time comes, if he is asked to do practical things, he will divide the rest of the money according to the amount of work.

In the end, he made tens of millions of "hard-earned money" to the firm every year, and Ma Zai in the firm was not allowed to kneel and lick him and take him as a partner.

When he negotiated with Tamada Wuren and came out, seeing that Rammond hadn't left yet, he couldn't help but feel a little emotionally that the other party was thick-skinned.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

Rammond's face was pale, and he had long lost his arrogance just now, so he only asked for an explanation: "Why do you hate Mr. Jobs so much? I can't explain to Mr. Cook if you don't understand the reason why you don't ask the price and have to cooperate with Google and Samsung." ”

"Understand, you need a reason why the negotiations have failed, so that Mr. Cook knows that it is not because you are incompetent. Feng Jianxiong nodded helplessly, indicating understanding.
