Chapter 252: Business has business
In short, if "My Time" surpasses Gameloft, then in the future, all the software of Mortal Technology, including games, will not be able to make a dime on Apple's platform!
At first, if Cook was killed, he wouldn't have thought that Mortal Tech's "My Time" would surpass Gamloft.
After all, one is a fledgling novice, and even the core development team is someone else's.
The other is an old giant, strong and experienced.
Therefore, for this sure bet, Cook agreed without hesitation.
Apple's directors also have no objections, and they are very supportive, and they use mortal technology as a young and vigorous "big fool hat".
But now, the most unlikely thing has happened, and My Time has really surpassed Gamloft, no matter what it is!
Although this is very unreasonable and even somewhat unscientific, it is the truth!
Cook's face was wonderful.
A casual bet will make Apple a big wrongdoer, and it will give up countless benefits!
One percent of the income, not to mention the billions of mortal technology software, just "My Time", a game destined to be popular, how much will Apple lose?
What's more, what is agreed is all in the future!
That's tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of profits.
If you win, you take so much for nothing, and if you lose, you give so much for nothing!
What to do? Cook's face was pale, and he really couldn't bear this piece of big meat that had fallen into his mouth!
Just then, the phone rang.
Cook frowned slightly and looked at the contact. I didn't want to take it. It's heavier.
"Hey! Hello. Cook! Cook still answered the phone, but said angrily.
Wang Fan was dumbfounded, and the other party's unhappy tone was too obvious: "Hi, Mr. Cook." What's wrong, in such a bad mood? β
"You're embarrassed to say, it's not like you're going to be pitted! I now understand that you have been prepared for a long time, just to trap us. Only 10% of the income. You don't let it go, ruthless enough, we should work in vain and provide you with a high-quality platform for nothing? Cook said angrily, no longer with his former demeanor. In the face of hundreds of billions of profits, no one can be graceful.
"Mr. Cook is serious, I really didn't intend to trick you. I just wanted to pit Qualcomm people, but I didn't expect that you rushed in in a hurry, and I couldn't stop it. You can only do what you want. But thank you for your generosity. In the future, our games will not be easily implemented, after all, the price difference between different platforms will make users protest. β
"Don't talk about these useless things, it's better to have some practical benefits!"
"Huh. Isn't the exclusive authorization of the language of wisdom enough? Enough for you to leave Samsung alone. β
"Alright then, you're in luck. I'll block you in the future, that's hell! β
"Don't ......" Before Wang Fan finished speaking, Cook had already hung up the phone.
The loss of such a large benefit, no matter who it is, will be unbearable, after all, the future gains are likely to be tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.
Even Cook wants to break the contract domineeringly, but the other party holds the core technology, the indispensable core technology of Apple.
No matter how reluctant you are, no matter how reluctant you are, you have no choice but to endure it!
Wang Fan pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that Cook's state at this time was exactly: the baby was bitter, but the baby didn't say anything!
But it doesn't matter, in addition to Cook, there is an even more tragic one, the patent giant, Qualcomm!
Wang Fan and them also have a very interesting bet, the faces of that group of people may be more exciting than Apple!
Soon Wang Fan dialed the other party's phone to see the other party's performance and reaction.
"Hi there, thanks for the three-year royalty-free grant!" Wang Fan said bluntly, without any euphemism.
For destined competitors, there is no need for too many pleasantries.
Qualcomm CEO Albert Kingsley said: "I have to say, you guys are beyond my expectations. But that's nothing, just a few years' royalties. What's more, you Huaxia has always disliked paying patent fees, and you mortal technology only make mobile phones, so it seems that you haven't even solved the CPU problem. β
Wang Fan was dumbfounded, he originally wanted to see Albert Kingsley deflated, but not only did he not see it, but he was ridiculed.
However, Wang Fan didn't care much, the shorter the other party's vision, the more excited he was now.
According to common sense, no one knows Wang Fan's hole cards, and no one can predict the next fabulous development of mortal technology.
After all, this is a materialist society, and everyone is a logical and thinking person.
It is impossible for North Korea to surpass the United States all at once, and it is impossible for mortal technology to surpass Qualcomm in an instant.
"You don't have to worry about CPU problems, we have a solution, and you might be surprised when the time comes. But I still have to thank you for the patent. Wang Fan said with a smile.
"Haha." Albert Kingsley laughed unbridledly: "Resolved? Haha, I heard that you acquired a Weirui Dentsu not enough, but also acquired a wafer factory, a packaging and testing factory. It is said that Zhang Luo also bought advanced lithography machines. Gee. I really accompany you with your courage, what we Qualcomm didn't dare to do, you did it all. However, as a person who has come over, I still want to tell you that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny! β
Wang Fan was helpless, Albert Kingsley actually told him a big truth!
However, what the other party said is also reasonable, people have personality, and business has business.
Like Qualcomm Mobile Chip, he is currently the absolute NO.1 in the field of mobile chips, but he doesn't dare to make mobile phones!
It's not that the technology can't work, it's not that the strength is not enough.
But once Qualcomm makes a mobile phone, other mobile phone manufacturers will unite to boycott Qualcomm and give up using Qualcomm's chips!
Therefore, Qualcomm is helpless, no matter how prosperous the mobile phone market is, he can only watch his eyes heat and sell chips to quench his thirst.
This is also the reason why Samsung chips are not very popular, and no one wants to accept the opponent of both athletes and referees.
To put it more bluntly, once the other party makes a little difference, other manufacturers will be deeply affected.
For example, Samsung has a super upgraded version of the flagship chip for its mobile phone, so if other manufacturers use the flagship chip, they will naturally be a head shorter.
Or, Samsung uses various excuses to control the shipment of chips, then other mobile phone manufacturers will inevitably encounter serious consequences, and even the crisis of bankruptcy.
You must know that the first 3 months of a mobile phone is the best golden period when it goes on the market, and once it exceeds three months, it will inevitably suffer huge losses in this era of rapid upgrading.
"Perhaps, soon you will understand how naΓ―ve your ideas really are!" After Wang Fan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Albert Kingsley was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible to Wang Fan.
It took a long time to come back to his senses and scolded into the phone: "Neurotic! β
