Chapter 41: Jobs is Coming
With the exposure of that sales list, many well-known brands have come to seek cooperation, and Fanxing Technology has nothing to do, and such a good opportunity will naturally not be given up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In terms of price, for such a business, it can be regarded as semi-public, except for Huawei, all of them are 100 yuan, and there is no possibility of bargaining.
The only thing that surprised Huang Xiaoming was Nokia, as a giant in the mobile phone industry, it is impossible not to see the power of Fanxing mobile phone assistant, or do they confidently believe that even if other mobile phones are pre-installed with Fanxing mobile phone assistant, they still can't shake their position?
Although Nokia's system is not Android, you haven't seen Samsung's mobile phone use the blade system, don't you also ask for the door?
Huang Xiaoming doesn't care about Nokia's reaction, he knows that in the next few years, Nokia will decline rapidly, and after several changes of hands, it will almost fade out of the mobile phone industry, and when the post-00s grow up, they have no impression of Nokia's former glory.
Just as Huang Xiaoming was sighing about the future, Li Lei broke in.
"Boss. Here comes Jobs. ”
"Jobs? Apple's one? Huang Xiaoming paused.
"Yes, it's that Jobs." Li Lei nodded heavily.
"Where?" For this legendary character, Huang Xiaoming is also curious, he was not qualified to see him in his previous life, but he didn't expect that now he would take the initiative to come to the door.
"Conference room."
"Let's go, let's go meet." Huang Xiaoming said.
Regarding Jobs's character, Huang Xiaoming does not make an evaluation, but for his ability, there is no doubt that his life can be said to be a legend.
"Mr. Jobs, this is our boss, Mr. Huang Xiaoming." Li Lei introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Huang." Jobs reached out.
"Hello, Mr. Jobs." After Huang Xiaoming and Jobs shook hands, they sat down separately.
"Mr. Jobs, your latest iPhone is great." Huang Xiaoming said.
"Of course, it's the perfect product that countless engineers have worked together to create." Jobs said without modesty.
"Foreigners really don't know what politeness is." Huang Xiaoming secretly complained, but he does have the qualifications to be proud, and this mobile phone can indeed be called a classic.
"I don't know what Mr. Jobs is doing when he comes to our Star Technology this time?" After a few polite sentences, Huang Xiaoming asked directly.
"Mr. Huang, we know that the shares of your company are in your hands, I wonder if you have any plans to raise funds?" Jobs didn't hide it either, and asked directly.
"Financing?" Huang Xiaoming paused for a moment, thinking that Jobs was here for the mobile phone assistant, but he didn't expect that his appetite was even greater, and he actually wanted to invest in Fanxing Technology!
"Sorry, we don't have that at the moment." Huang Xiaoming didn't think about it and refused directly.
Jobs was not surprised to hear Huang Xiaoming's answer, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
After hearing about the software of Fanxing Mobile Assistant, he also deliberately learned about Fanxing Technology, only to know that this inconspicuous small company has a lot of advanced technology.
He was not so much interested in Fanxing Technology as he was in the engineers who developed the software.
However, Huang Xiaoming's refusal was also expected by him, if he was replaced, he would not give up his equity at will, even if he wanted financing, it was after showing his own value to the greatest extent.
"Okay, but I hope that in the future, if your company has plans to raise funds, you can give priority to us." Jobs added reluctantly.
"No problem." Huang Xiaoming replied casually, there will be no such day anyway, even if he agrees, it doesn't matter.
"I wonder what Mr. Huang thinks about our iOS system?" Jobs changed the subject and asked.
"It's a good system." Huang Xiaoming gave an affirmative answer, he didn't think the Android system was bad, it was just a bus and a private car, there was no way to compare.
iOS is dedicated to Apple, with a high resource integration rate, and a stable, safe and efficient system. Android is an open source system, and there are many merchants who use it, and after the secondary development, there is definitely no way to compare the fit with iOS.
"Just good? Then Mr. Huang must have a way to optimize the iOS system. Jobs said.
"Can I interpret this as an invitation?"
"Of course."
"There is indeed room for optimization in the iOS system, but I'm sorry, we don't have this time right now, because we have already accepted Samsung's invitation, and we will not accept orders for other systems until we develop a mobile assistant for the blade system." Huang Xiaoming said.
He can't do everything himself, he developed the Android mobile assistant because he didn't have much time to wait, and now even if it's the blade system version of the mobile assistant, he didn't interfere, but handed over the character to those in the development department.
After all, he can't raise these people in vain, besides, computer software research and development is not advancing or retreating, although these people are not the best in the industry now, but this does not mean that they have no talent, but there is no suitable environment for their abilities to be fully developed.
Regarding the mobile phone assistant of the blade system, Huang Xiaoming only told them the direction and part of the core of the development, as for the details, they need to study it themselves.
If they can successfully research it, I believe that after the completion of this software, everyone's technology will make some progress, of course, it will also expose the fact that some people are not talented, but survival of the fittest is something that will inevitably be experienced, if you can't adapt to it, you can only transfer to other places to complete some relatively simple work.
As for the time of research and development, Huang Xiaoming didn't care very much, anyway, the contract didn't stipulate a specific time, for him, it is undoubtedly more important to train his own engineers.
"It's okay, we're willing to wait." Jobs said.
If he could, he didn't want to turn to a Chinese company, in fact, not only Apple, but many Internet giants have studied this software, but unfortunately they can't even crack it, let alone study imitations.
Seeing Jobs' insistence, Huang Xiaoming hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes, but I can't give you any guarantee in terms of time, in addition, if the mobile phone assistant of iOS is developed, every mobile phone produced by your company must be pre-installed, and the price is fifty dollars." ”
Fifty dollars into renminbi is more than 300, and this price is only given after thinking about it. Apple's mobile phone is a high-end route, and the profit is very large, which even Samsung can't compare, although Samsung's sales are high, but a large part of it is contributed by mobile phones with affordable prices.
The price of Apple's mobile phone in the United States may not be particularly expensive, but in China, it is definitely a high price.
Although Huang Xiaoming admires Jobs' ability, he has no good impression of Apple itself, especially in his previous life, when Apple squeezed Chinese labor at a low price, and at the same time relied on excellent marketing to circle a large number of fruit fans and earn high profits. Now that there is such an opportunity, Huang Xiaoming will naturally not let go of the opportunity to blackmail.
"Fifty dollars? Mr. Huang, I heard you right, right? Jobs frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face. If I'm not mistaken, the price you give to Samsung is also 100 RMB, why are we 50 USD? ”
"You heard it right, and you are not mistaken, the price we gave Samsung is indeed 100 yuan, but Samsung uses a blade system, and our engineers are not very familiar with iOS." Huang Xiaoming spread his hands, looking helpless.
There is still a big difference between developing a software that is familiar with the system and an unfamiliar system software, of course, this is a normal situation, but for Fanxing Technology, the difference is not so big, but it is impossible for Jobs to know this.
Looking at Huang Xiaoming's appearance, Jobs knew that there was no room for negotiation for this price, he didn't understand why Huang Xiaoming was so concerned about the cooperation with Apple, you must know that Apple now has tens of millions of global sales of smart phones a year, if it is 300 yuan per mobile phone, it is tens of billions of funds!
Jobs really couldn't understand where Huang Xiaoming got the confidence to ignore this huge profit.
After pondering for a moment, he finally did not agree.
"It's a shame." Watching Jobs leave, Li Lei's face was full of regret. If Apple can be signed, then it is not impossible for Fanxing Technology to make tens of billions more profits every year.
"Don't be sorry, he'll be back." Huang Xiaoming is not very regretful, he believes that after Samsung, HTC and other mobile phones have the star mobile phone assistant, Apple will not be able to stand out again and repeat the glory of the previous life.
Even if Jobs doesn't look back, it doesn't matter, just try to grab Apple's market, don't forget, Fanxing Technology's first mobile phone is also under urgent research and development, and I believe that it will be seen on the market in the near future.
