When Tian Ze entered the conference room, he saw two groups of people sitting on either side of the conference table chatting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the left are Li Yuanfang, Xu Qiang, and Qiu Xuejiao.
On the opposite side are two foreigners and a middle-aged Chinese man.
"Tian Dong, you're here!" Seeing Tianze, Li Yuanfang hurriedly stood up and introduced to the three people opposite, "This is our company's Tiandong, and he is also the owner of this company." ”
After speaking, Li Yuanfang pointed to the three of them and introduced, "Tian Dong, this is Nikosh Arola, Google's chief business officer, this is Zhao Fang, Apple's general manager of China, and this is Patrick Pichett, Facebook's chief business officer. ”
"Mr. Tianze, hello."
"Mr. Tianze, hello."
"Tiandong, hello."
Each of the three stretched out his right hand.
Tian Ze shook hands with the three of them before sitting down.
"You have come from afar, why don't I arrange for someone to take you around the deep city for two days? It's also good to appreciate the customs of our deep city. Tian Ze said enthusiastically while secretly looking at the three of them.
Not to mention Nikos Arola and Patrick Pichett, as chief business officers, they are definitely the top executives of Google and Facebook. Zhao Fang's position is the lowest, after all, Apple has dozens of branches around the world.
However, iPhone sales in China have accounted for 35% of total sales, exceeding the 24% share of the United States, so China is the world's largest iPhone consumer market.
Zhao Fang's position is naturally important.
"Tian Dong is too polite, let's talk about business!" Zhao Fang was the first to speak.
Seeing that Nikosh Arola and Patrick Pitchet had no intention of speaking, Tian Ze knew in his heart that the three of them must have reached a unified opinion before they came.
"Good! I wonder if the three of you are here this time, what's the matter? Tian Ze nodded and asked.
"The three of us want to work together with your company to develop Bajie for the benefit of all mankind." Zhao Fang didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point.
"Oh, what's the Synergy Law?" Tian Ze looked very interested.
"That's what we plan, the four of us will form a new company, as long as your company provides technology, the three of us will invest $10 billion, what does Tian Dong think?" Zhao Fang said.
"What about shares?"
Tian Ze said quietly.
"Naturally, the four are divided equally, and each family accounts for 25%." Zhao Fang said as a matter of course.
"Manager Zhao, the four companies are divided equally, and each of you has contributed more than 3 billion US dollars, but you occupy 75% of the shares, is it a bit too much? You know, yesterday SoftBank was willing to invest $5 billion, only 10% of our company's shares. Li Yuanfang said dissatisfied.
"Mr. Li, the account is not calculated like this, we have less money, but we have resources that SoftBank can't match! Your company doesn't want to shrink into China and not go out, right? And if you want to go out, the three of us are the best partners, and we can provide the best resources. Zhao Fang said proudly.
Li Yuanfang couldn't help but be silent.
What Zhao Fang said is not bad at all, if a company wants to develop and grow, it is not just about money, sometimes resources are more important than money. Among IT companies, it is difficult to find a company or a force that can be compared to the combination of Apple, Google, and Facebook.
"Of course, if your company is not satisfied with the distribution of the shares of the new company, we can sit down and negotiate slowly, and this time we will come with the greatest sincerity." Zhao Fang turned to speak again.
Da-da-da-da!
Tian Ze tapped lightly on the table and did not speak.
"Mr. Tianze, what do you think of our proposal?" Nikosh Arola spoke at this point.
"yes!"
Patrick Pitchett chimed in.
"I'm going to think about it, and I'll give you an answer when I've thought about it." Tian Ze thought for a while and said.
Nikos Arola, Patrick Pitchet, and Zhao Fang glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, stood up, and Nikos Alora said, "Since this is the case, then we will not bother you, I hope your company can give us an answer as soon as possible, and the three of us will wait at the hotel." ”
In the eyes of the three of them, such a big cooperation plan, Tian Ze should also think about it.
The three also believe that Tian Ze will eventually agree to this plan, because Tian Ze will not have a better choice.
After all, Apple, Google, and Facebook all have only one.
is unique.
"Okay."
Tian Ze also stood up.
After sending the three of them to the elevator, Tianze turned around and returned to the company.
"Tian Dong, do you really want to consider their suggestions?" Li Yuanfang couldn't help but ask.
"Tian Dong, can't you promise them!" Xu Qiang was also worried.
"How is it possible, I don't have a fever again." Tian Ze pursed his lips.
Just kidding, how could Tianze accept such a suggestion? If you hand over artificial intelligence, you can only get 25% of the shares of the new company, and even if you can talk about it, Tianze believes that the bottom line of the other party will not exceed 30%. And what about the other three companies? Owning at least 70% of the new company.
What does this mean?
Loss of controlling interest.
This is absolutely impossible for Tianze to accept, look at Jobs! is a living example of this. Apple was founded by Jobs, and then Jobs was kicked out of the company, isn't it the reason why the controlling stake was lost! Tianze won't be stupid enough to fall for this.
Capital has always been full of evil, and people with simple hearts will definitely be gnawed and there will be no bones left.
Once Tianze agrees to this plan, all that awaits Tianze is that the shares will be diluted, and the last one will get out with a gloomy face.
"Then I'll be relieved."
Li Yuanfang nodded.
"Let's go, check out our forum." Tianze took the lead in the software department.
"Tian Dong, Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, you are here!" As soon as he entered the software department, Zhuo Jiaming greeted him.
"How's the forum going?" Tian Ze nodded and asked directly.
With the rise of the Internet, the importance of platforms to a company no longer needs to be proven. Zhuo Jiaming, as the head of the R&D department, naturally understood the company's development focus, and hurriedly explained to the three of Tianze.
It has only been a day since Li Yuanfang visited the patient.
The number of registered users of the forum is still 30 million, and there is not much change.
Tianze focuses on feedback.
User satisfaction.
In response to the outstanding problems that several users reacted to, everyone gathered around to discuss......
Pedal Pedal Ped Suddenly, there was a sound of high heels hitting the ground, and I saw my sister trotting into the software department. Maybe I ran a little fast, not only was my breathing a little short, but even my chest was lying down.
"What's the matter?"
Li Yuanfang frowned.
"Than ...... Here you are. The front desk sister stammered.
"What Bill?" Li Yuanfang didn't understand.
"Is it Bill Gates?" Tianze's eyes lit up and he interjected.
"Yes, yes!"
The sister at the front desk nodded again and again.
"Where did you say Bill was here?"
Tian Ze hurriedly asked.
"I just received a call from the United States, and according to them, they said it was Microsoft. Inform us that Bill Gates, the technical consultant of their company, is flying here on a special plane, and he will arrive at Shencheng International Airport at 2 o'clock at noon today, hoping that our company can receive it. The sister at the front desk also eased up at this time and said in one breath.
"Are you saying Bill is coming over soon?" Tianze couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's what I said on the phone." The sister at the front desk nodded violently.
"Okay, great."
A hint of joy flashed in Tianze's eyes.
"Tian Dong, are you interested in cooperating with Microsoft?" Li Yuanfang couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, but it also depends on the sincerity of the other party." Tianze did not hide it either.
"Then I'll go get ready." Li Yuanfang nodded.
……
Shencheng International Airport, today welcomed a private jet.
Gulfstream G550 business jet, launched by Gulfstream Aerospace in 2003, is the first ultra-long-range business jet in the history of human flight that can fly directly from New York to Tokyo. With a range of up to 11,686 kilometers and a maximum cruising altitude of 15,545 meters, it can carry 18 passengers.
Of course, the price is not cheap.
A full 300 million yuan is still up, and the annual maintenance cost alone exceeds 10 million.
In the next group, a dozen or so blue-eyed, high-nosed foreigners stepped off the plane.
The leader was an ordinary-looking man with a long face, a thin body, neither tall nor short, with brown hair, black eyes, and a pair of glasses. If it weren't for being surrounded by stars and the moon, if it wasn't for a foreigner, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of others at all.
The man was surrounded by two women.
The others were all burly men, and their black suits were almost all tightened.
There are blacks and there are whites.
At first glance, it is a bodyguard.
The man walked out of the passageway, swept around, and led the way towards a sign.
At the same time, several Chinese holding signs also raised their hands and waved.
"Hello, Mr. Bill Gates!"
"Tianze, just call me Bill."
"Alright! Bill. ”
"That's right!"
That's right, the group of foreign men is Bill Gates, and the Chinese who greeted them with signs were Tian Ze, Li Yuanfang, Xu Qiang, and several clerks of the company.
"Bill, let's get in the car first! It's not a place to talk, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to walk if you want to. Tian Ze pointed around and said with a wry smile.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Bill Gates nodded in agreement.
Not really! At this moment, there were already several circles of people around, and many people even took out their mobile phones and began to take pictures. It is estimated that most of them recognized Bill Gates, after all, Bill Gates's appearance rate is still quite high, and if he doesn't leave now, it will be troublesome to attract reporters.
The group hurried out of the airport.
came to a few cars, either a big Ben, or a Rolls-Royce, especially the middle one is an extended version of the Rolls-Royce. Naturally, these luxury cars are not from Universal Robotics, but from Shangri-La Hotel.
Following Bill Gates on the extended version of Rolls-Royce, Tianze motioned for the driver to drive.
