173 Apple's new plan (1320 monthly pass plus update)
Ten o'clock in the morning, Tim. Cook arrived at the Guanzhong Building where Tang Shizi Technology was located on time and in a low-key manner. Although it was a low-key visit, it caused a small sensation.
Who asked Wang Shizi to directly admit at the press conference that Datang Shizi Technology and Apple had been eyebrow-to-eye at the press conference in order to achieve the greatest publicity effect? Even with Tim. Cook had already made an appointment to meet.
So early in the morning, there was a group of reporters guarding the door of the Guanzhong Building. There are even more reporters waiting here than at the airport. Now that reporters are proficient, in places like airports, there is always a way for VIPs to send people out, and they can't ask anything at all. It's better to try your luck here, as long as you get stuck in someone, you can always ask a few questions.
It's a pity that Datang Shizi Technology is obviously also fully prepared. When Apple's five special cars entered the underground parking lot of Guanzhong Building, a human wall of more than 20 security guards suddenly appeared and successfully escorted Apple and his party to the elevator and directly to the door of Datang Shizi Technology Company, and at this time there were already armed police standing guard at the entrance of the company.
Even a decent banner was hung at the entrance of the company, "Warm welcome to Apple President Tim. Mr. Cook came to visit and guide! "It's a pity that it's all in Chinese, I guess Tim. Cook couldn't read it. Obviously, this must be Tang Sen's idea again, with Wang Shizi's temperament, he is absolutely too lazy to engage in such messy things.
When Apple and his party finally arrived at the company, Wang Shizi took Tang Sen and Ouyang Chen to guard the door. All the employees of the company also stopped their work for the time being.
Although I have never met, but like Tim. A celebrity like Cook is naturally instantly recognizable. Wang Shizi immediately stepped forward and said politely:
"Welcome, President Cook, you're disappointed. I'm really sorry, we have a small business here, and I won't tell you that the company hasn't bought a car yet. So I forgive me for not being able to go to the airport to greet me. ”
Wang Shizi's words were in Chinese, and naturally some of the accompanying personnel quickly translated them to Tim. Cook, the president of Apple, was full of spring breeze at this time, and he couldn't see the tiredness after a long-distance flight, "Mr. Wang is too polite, the company has just opened, and it is already very powerful to have such a scale." When I saw Mr. Wang today, I found that I was younger than in the video, and I was really young and promising! ”
This was followed by a routine mutual praise and a burst of greetings. In a peaceful atmosphere, when the two sides probably got to know each other, they entered the reception room that Datang Shizi Technology had already prepared. Obviously, this time the meeting was quite formal, and the law firm that took over the legal work of Tang Shizi Technology even sent the lawyer with the most experience in contract law to accompany the negotiation.
"Mr. Wang, we have also been in contact before, this time we are still here for the Shizi smartphone system, of course, now we have to add a mobile phone programming application that the whole people program. I have to say that this app is another genius idea and design, and we at Apple are very interested and sincere. The one who spoke was still Lu Chunlei, the president of Apple's Greater China Region, who had contact with Wang Shizi before. Tim. Cook sat in the center, looking at Wang Shizi with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Lu, I believe in the sincerity of your company, otherwise Mr. Cook would not have come in person. But the question is, how far can your company's sincerity be reflected? In fact, Mr. Wang has given your company two cooperation plans to choose, which is also the greatest sincerity we can reflect, if Apple still insists on taking away the complete copyright of the Shizi system or holding Datang Shizi Technology, then IMHO. I am afraid that this negotiation will still end without a hitch. ”
The one who answered Lu Chunlei was Ouyang Chen, the current general manager of Datang Shizi Technology, Tang Sen was holding a pen and didn't know what was recorded in the notebook in front of him. Of course, it's more likely to be scribbling, and Wang Shizi is very calm with Tim. Cook stared at each other.
"Isn't your company going to hear about our latest offer?" Lu Chunlei opened his mouth to say tentatively, and then without waiting for Ouyang Chen to speak, he continued: "This time, we are willing to triple the offer we gave before, and use a total of 16 billion US dollars to buy the copyright of the Shizi smartphone system, not only that, Apple will provide a special application server for all people to program for free, but the income brought by this software still belongs to your company." We can even use the Apple online store to promote the excellent apps that users have programmed with All People, which can be written into the protocol. ”
After hearing these words, Ouyang Chen subconsciously glanced at Wang Shizi beside him, and saw that this backbone had no reaction, so he smiled and said: "I think Mr. Lu misunderstood, in fact, we have never rejected this cooperation method because Apple's offer is too low." It's that Datang Shizi Technology has never had the idea of selling the copyright of the Shizi smartphone system, so I'm really sorry! And your company's solution is not attractive to us, to be honest, our application does not need the promotion of Apple's online store, on the contrary, I believe that the mobile application exchange platform of the world's subsystem will eventually replace the Apple online store and Android store, and become the industry's leading mobile application platform. ”
"What about exclusive licenses?" Tim, who has not spoken out. Cook suddenly spoke, of course, he looked directly at Wang Shizi and said this, "The price remains the same, Apple will invest $16 billion at one time to purchase the exclusive and exclusive license to use the Shizi smartphone system for five years." We don't want all the copyrights, but in the past eight years, only our Apple can use this system, and Datang Shizi Technology is responsible for maintaining and upgrading the system and modifying the system according to our requirements. After the expiration of the contract, we can negotiate separately. ”
"I didn't believe it when someone said that Apple is the company with the most spare money in the world, but when I heard President Cook's words, I really believed it. Being able to spend $16 billion at one time to buy the exclusive and exclusive license of our Shizi system for five years, to be honest, it is estimated that Apple can have the courage to do so. And this price must be a figure that has been carefully calculated by your company. That's right, I also calculated, if according to the cooperation plan I proposed with the other party before, it is estimated that the net income that this system can bring to Datang Shizi Technology in five years is about this number, which is still under the condition that everything goes well, and it is very likely that it will not even reach so much. Thinking about it, we don't seem to have any reason to say no, but ......"
Face Tim. The plan given by Cook was the first time that Wang Shizi spoke at the negotiating table. (To be continued......)
