Chapter 398: Be Ruthless (Part 2)
"Can you show me? , Jobs felt a little itchy in his heart, looked at Zhang Yang and asked. Zhang Yang immediately smiled and handed the mobile phone in his hand to Jobs without hesitation. Even if Steve Jobs came up with the idea of IPh because of the tools that he handed over, Apple was too late. Zhang Yang's patents have already begun to be applied for on wIP, and there are probably few countries where Apple can sell at that time.
The simple mobile phone came to Jobs's hands, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, and after quickly finding the power button on the phone, the phone quickly entered the boot state, and the mobile phone had been set to English language before Zhang Yang came, so Jobs could also understand it.
Zhang Yang didn't bother Jobs, just let him experiment there, to be honest, now Zhang Yang's mobile phone is actually quite poor, even inferior to the copycat smartphone that Zhang Yang used in his previous life, but it represents an idea, an advanced concept!
For a long time, it wasn't until Jobs's mobile phone rang that he woke up from the state of operating Zhang Yang's mobile phone, and said hello to Zhang Yang and others with shame, Jobs picked up the Hotline and looked at it, and then took the Hotline...... Yes, I see...... Now that several important guests of the company have come, I will receive them, and inform the other directors of the company that I have requested a meeting of the board of directors......
After Jobs hung up the Hotline, Jobs immediately smiled and said to Zhang Yang and the others: I don't know if Mr. Zhang and the two beautiful sisters are willing to visit Apple. 'Of course.' , Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, and then stood up from his seat.
Xia Yiyue and Li Keqing, who were sitting there, were already there, what did this mean? Is Apple really crazy? is willing to pay two or three billion dollars for such a broken mobile phone. Xia Yueyue had this dizziness in her head, and she had already begun to calculate how much money these two or three hundred billion dollars were.
This is converted into RMB according to 20 billion US dollars, which is 180 billion, 180 billion...... What is this concept...... Xia Yue was already completely dizzy, and her eyes were different. Is this something that can be done by man? Several people followed Jobs out of the café, and then walked towards the Apple headquarters opposite, and entered the Apple headquarters.
In fact, Zhang Yang doesn't know how to comment on Apple, is it stubborn or insistent? From the birth of Apple to the present, there has been a long time, but it has always been that style, whether it is its product design, or its store design, etc., it is all that style, forever unchanged, forever so simple.
Along the way, Apple's employees looked at Zhang Yang and his party curiously, but no one came up to ask, Zhang Yang's gang, they didn't know them, but they knew Jobs who accompanied Zhang Yang.
"Is Mr. Zhang selling the technology of this mobile phone to Apple? $20 billion IMHO, Apple doesn't have that much money for the time being, and if Mr. Zhang has no problem, then we can sign a five-year repayment period, of course, according to the bank's interest. As Jobs walked, he introduced Apple to Zhang Yang, and suddenly said to Zhang Yang.
Xia Yueyue, who was walking behind, stumbled, and Li Keqing, who was next to Xingwan, was quick and reached out to help her, otherwise, it is estimated that Xia Yueyue would have fallen directly. 'I'm not Jobs' crazy too. , Xia Yueyue, who was supported by Li Keqing, asked quickly.
She couldn't understand this, even if this technology was very valuable, but she had to negotiate anyway, she had never seen a company president who could make a decision so straightforwardly, this is not two dollars, this is two billion dollars" No, no, no, Mr. Jobs misunderstood, two billion dollars, I will not sell it. I want a stake in Apple, half of Apple! , Zhang Yang paused, smiled slightly, and then said directly.
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yueyue and Li Keqing, who were just about to answer her question, immediately had this petrification. 'This can't be done!' , Jobs refused almost without thinking about it. Fifty percent of the shares! If Zhang Yang buys even 0.1 percent of the shares on the stock market, he can fully own Apple.
At that time, Apple will become a private company! Although Apple was established by Jobs, Jobs is not like the Chinese, who have a strong possessiveness of their own assets, and as long as they create the tools themselves, they are never willing to share shares with others, which is why many potential companies in Guoran cannot grow rapidly.
For example, Apple, a company called E, has dozens of shareholders, and no shareholder owns such a high stake. Of course, this is also negotiable, but IMHO, I don't know what future Apple would have if it didn't go with the phone, and Mr. Jobs can think about what Apple would be like if this phone came out, when it sold millions of units a week.9 And this kind of effect can be achieved by any company. , Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Millions a week is not a myth IPh4s sold four million units in the first week, and that was in the case of Jobs' death, four million units, even if it is $800 million per $200 million, just one week!
"I understand, 'But Mr. Zhang wants 50 percent of Apple's shares, and I can't serve any of the company's directors on the board. , Jobs shook his head slightly, and then spoke. Jobs is a person with this paranoia, he doesn't really care how many directors Apple has, and which director owns how many shares, what he cares about is what kind of results Apple, the company he created, will end up with! In his previous life, it was this kind of paranoia, after being kicked out by Apple, and later Apple invited him back, Jobs did not refuse, and it was this paranoia that allowed Jobs to bring Apple to the throne of the world's No. 1 company, the market value of Riken B dollars, which spans the GDP of 165 countries around the world
Let's talk in the conference room. …… On the sixth floor of the company, Jobs took Zhang Yang and them into a conference room. After everyone sat down, Zhang Yang smiled and said to Jobs: "I don't know what Mr. Jobs thinks of Nokia. …… Jobs didn't know why, but seeing Zhang Yang smiling at him all the time, it took a long time for Jobs to speak: "What about this company, I can evaluate it like this, its strategic growth is good, but it has this conservative ......
In 2000, Microsoft was $250 billion, while Nokia was worth $210 billion, Apple was only $6.1 billion, and Google and China's Tencent were playing soy sauce...... Oh, and the meaning of playing soy sauce is that they haven't been listed yet, just a foil role. Now, Microsoft is $210 billion, Nokia is only $85 billion, Apple has risen to $45 billion, and Google is $100 billion, Tencent is less than a billion. What does this mean?" Zhang Yang took a slow sip of coffee and said lightly.
It's just that Zhang Yang still hasn't said a word, 6 years later, Microsoft's market value is 230 billion, Nokia is less than 24 billion, Apple is 330 billion, Google is 200 billion, Tencent also has 40 billion, and what about later? Zhang Yang didn't see it, is there no Nokia, Nokia lacks something more than Apple.
Jobs frowned, he didn't know what he meant by that. Seeing that Jobs had this doubt, Zhang Yang smiled and said: Nokia is a century-old factory, why is it going downhill, because it has not found its own weird path, and to tell the truth, Nokia can still have a market value of 85 billion US dollars, because its marketing strategy in China is quite successful! China's sales account for 60% of Nokia's total sales, and if there is no China, Nokia may only have less than $20 billion left, and Mr. Jobs, don't forget, there is a China behind me! After that, Zhang Yang smiled and winked at Xia Yue, who was still stagnant next to him.
Zhang Yang's words first made Jobs stunned, and then his eyes lit up violently, China's huge market can be the market for all commodities in all countries in the world, Jobs naturally can't ignore it, a country that accounts for almost one-fifth of the world's population, and its crazy economy, which means a huge consumer market!
But if a company like Apple wants to sell its products to China, then it means that there is another thing that tests them, tariffs! As well as competitiveness, Apple's products are actually not expensive abroad, Apple's IPhOnE in the last life was only sold abroad for only 200 US dollars, but in China it is as high as more than 5,000, equivalent to 800 US dollars, what is the extra in this? It's tariffs! This has caused Apple's competitiveness to decline, but Rao still has terrible sales in China.
If in the previous life, apples were sold at the same price in China as abroad...... So what will happen to it? IPhOnE4 for less than 2000 yuan, think about it! If that situation really happens, hehe, Nokia will not be alive to compare it with the N9, and other mobile phone manufacturers will also face fierce competition!
If Zhang Yang becomes Apple's largest shareholder, or to put it more exaggeratedly, Apple becomes a Zhang Yang company, then Apple will become a Chinese company in another way, although it cannot be exempted from tariffs, but there will definitely be preferential treatment, which invisibly improves Apple's competitiveness.
Of course, this is a tool for the future, and if Apple can't take this step on the phone, tariff exemption is useless. 'Of course', if Apple doesn't want to, I can find another company to work with, like IBM or Seed. Google or Siemens, Nokia and other companies, I have all the patents for this phone in the world, and I think it will probably be a broken position for a while. , Zhang Yang shook the extremely ugly mobile phone in his hand.
This sentence made Jobs's eyes change slightly, patent...... The reason why Jobs sits firmly on the fishing platform is because he already has enough ideas in his heart, and Zhang Yang's mobile phone is a wake-up call for him, he believes in Apple's R&D capabilities and hardware capabilities, even without Zhang Yang's technology, Apple is confident to do better.
But when he heard about the patent, Jobs immediately understood that Zhang Yang was fully prepared to come here today, although patents are not omnipotent, but if the patent problem cannot be solved, even if Apple makes a product, I am afraid it will not be able to sell it, Jobs will not be naïve to think that Zhang Yang will not register a US patent.
Even if it does not register the Meigu patent, Apple will not be able to sell only in the United States. I don't know when Mr. Zhang is going to return to China.9 Will you be able to stay at Apple for a few days?, After a pause, Jobs stood up and spoke.
"This 'Mr. Jobs, you should know, is about to come to the Chinese New Year. , Zhang Yang said with a smile. Jobs was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated: Okay, I think I'll hold a board meeting first, and I'll give Mr. Zhang a result tomorrow......
Zhang Yang nodded his head and said with a smile: "Of course, I can still wait for a day." Then let's take our leave, this is my contact style., after leaving my contact style to Jobs, Zhang Yang and a few people walked out of the apple. It's ruthless! , When it came out of the apple, Xia Yue couldn't help but comment.
"Why are you doing this, where am I ruthless. , shrugging his shoulders. 'That's it?' Ready for half of the apples? I'm dizzy. , Xia Yueyue also took out an extremely ugly engineering machine from his bag, looked at Zhang Yang and asked.
Before I came, Zhang Yang brought all the mobile phones, and just left two for Jobs, and the rest was in Li Keqing and Xia Yueyue's bags.
Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders, 'This is technology', technology understands! Haven't you heard a word! First-class enterprises do standards, second-rate enterprises do brands, and third-rate enterprises do products! It is clear in this sentence that there are three kinds of enterprises in the same product industry. And all we have to do now is the standard! Microsoft's window system is now not the standard in the operating system industry, and many companies have had ups and downs for many years, but Microsoft is not like that, it has been stable and dependent, this is the value of standards.
