"Okay, it seems that we need to contact our powerful partner!" Eric. Schmidt nodded, and after saying this, he waved his subordinates away.

Truth be told, his curiosity had been completely piqued. He has even begun to regret Google's breach of contract at a critical time about a year ago. Although it is understandable that businessmen are profit-oriented, and they have spent an extra billion dollars to obtain authorization, this has brought some unhappiness to the cooperation between Google and Datang Shizi Technology.

In retrospect, this loss of trust is even more frustrating than it was at the beginning, with a billion dollars more than it did back then. If there was no unpleasantness caused by this incident before, maybe he would have called Wang Shizi as a friend immediately, inquired about what the new technology of Datang Shizi's chip was, and probed the tone of this Chinese person.

However, in the case of insufficient trust between everyone, Eric . Schmidt knew very well that even if he made this call, he probably wouldn't be able to detect anything. It's like Wang Shizi suddenly visited Apple half a year ago, but he didn't visit Google, which is also a partner. Actually, that time Eric. Schmidt wanted to invite Wang Shizi to Google headquarters by the way, but the sudden appearance of the FBI made this idea go away.

Naturally, it was even more difficult for him to speak. The last time I let people go, it is impossible for the other party to come to the United States so soon. But who knew that it had only been half a year, and Datang Shizi Chip was about to hold a product launch conference.

Come to think of it, Eric. Schmidt still let go of the idea of calling Wang Shizi now. After all, it is not a few days before the product launch of Datang Shizi chips, and it is useless to know the technology of Datang Shizi chips so many days in advance. It is better to wait until after the press conference, after understanding the value of the new product, and considering whether it is necessary to carry out deeper cooperation with Datang Shizi chips, who makes him have great interest in all emerging high-tech?

However, just in Eric. When Schmidt made up his mind. The pager in the office rang suddenly, and when he pressed the call button casually, the secretary outside the door delivered a message that surprised him, "Mr. Schmidt, the general secretary of Huaxia Datang Shizi Technology is calling, and they want to talk to you in five minutes." ”

"Okay. I happened to be free, so I was picked up in five minutes. "Eric. Schmidt replied immediately.

However, five minutes later, when Eric. After Schmidt greeted Wang Shizi, he was really shocked by the words of this Chinese man. Even involuntarily repeated Wang Shizi's proposal on the side of the phone microphone, "A billion dollars to help us Google upgrade software products that can be used in the new generation of smartphones?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Schmidt, I think it's a perfect idea to be able to fulfill our eight-year contract and deepen our trust and cooperation."

"But Chairman Wang, you should know that we at Google have a group of the best software and hardware engineers in the world......"

"I'm well aware of that. But even they won't be able to keep up with the times in just three months, and trust me, while Google's software can still be used on our new products, it will no longer be able to give users who are about to be conquered by our new technology feel the perfect experience, but we can help Google do it. At the same time, in order to protect the interests of our partners, we promise not to help other companies develop or upgrade software products similar to Google. What do you think? Wang Shizi's voice on the phone was full of seduction.

"Okay, so maybe Chairman Wang will talk to me in advance about what's new in your new technology? Why are you so sure you'll be able to conquer all users? "Eric. Schmidt was silent for a moment and then asked dryly.

"I'm sorry, but this issue must be kept secret for the time being. But it won't be long before the answer is revealed, and the day after tomorrow is our product launch. After the product launch, I promise you'll get the sense that I'm not exaggerating what I'm saying today. ”

Wang Shizi's tricky words on the phone almost made Eric. Schmidt hung up the phone directly.

What does this mean? One mouth is 1.5 billion, and you have to keep new products secret? Although Google has always been known for being rich and willful, you have to know whether the money is worth it, right?

"Haha, Mr. Wang is really joking, are you sure that with such a phone call, I can successfully persuade the board of directors to sign such a contract?" Eric. Schmidt suppressed the inner tangle. He laughed dryly.

"It's not business, it's just giving you a choice, or a chance to gamble. Don't talk to me about your board of directors, it seems to me that your board of directors is too short-sighted. Think about the extra $1.5 billion that Google paid to get our authorization because of their tossing. If I were you. Certainly not asking for their consent, in fact, with your control of Google, there are a hundred ways to bypass the board of directors to sign this contract. Also, to be honest, this is a friendly price of $1.5 billion, and if you reject my offer, maybe I'll have to go to the next one, and Google will have to leave it out for the time being. To know that a new product that can subvert the entire market pattern is launched, whose software can perfectly adapt to the new product in advance, it can be of great benefit to the future market share. Wang Shizi said seductively.

Eric. Schmidt was really crying and laughing at this time. Does the little guy in China on the other end of the phone think of himself as a rookie in the mall? After saying so much, he didn't reveal the slightest bit of advanced technology, and he wanted to empty the white wolf's posture, and even said that it was a friend price, which made him embarrassed.

"Then why can't Google wait two days, after your company's press conference, are we considering whether it is necessary to pay for this contract?" Eric. Schmidt said directly.

"That's not the price, and it's even less likely that we'll sign a protective clause with you. To put it bluntly, Mr. Schmidt did not see my proposal as a business but more like a gamble, or rather a test of our mutual trust. At least after I had this idea, the first thing I thought of was you, which at least shows that although Datang Shizi and Google had some unpleasantness before, I still sincerely regard you as a friend. Now it's up to you to believe in our hard-earned friendship! ”

Wang Shizi's answer once again made Eric. Schmidt fell ...... (To be continued......)
