Lu Hao said. "I don't need you to convince them all, you have to know that Xiaomi Technology is the production of computers, and we are a win-win competitive relationship."www.biquge.info ”

Bill Gates said confidently, "Since they all produce computers, it has something to do with Microsoft, and I can make a decision that is very favorable to your Xiaomi technology, and persuade the board of directors to reduce the sales price of Microsoft's operating system to Xiaomi technology on the grounds that China is a developing country and piracy is rampant, what do you think?" ”

Depend on!

What a reason to refuse.

"Elaborate on that?" Lu Hao said.

Bill Gates said, "We just reached an agreement with dozens of PC companies around the world, and the price of Windows X is $50 per unit, and we can drop the price of Xiaomi technology by 40 percent, $30 per unit." ”

"Ten percent, two billion dollars!" Lu Hao said.

Bill Gates has long thought about the shareholding ratio to strive for, which is as many shares as 360 Technology, "15 percent, 3 billion US dollars!" ”

Lu Hao shook his head and said, "It's too much, we have a lot of other cooperative shareholders, and if you want it too hard, you will squeeze out other people's shares." ”

Bill Gates said confidently, "This is the minimum shareholding ratio, you must know that I am a major shareholder of Matrix Technology, and I have the right of first refusal." ”

Fifteen percent is Lu Hao's maximum consent range, and when it comes to this, Lu Hao doesn't need to fight for it anymore, the more they hold shares, the fewer shareholders they will recruit, and now his social circle no longer needs to continue to unite more shareholders to protect themselves.

Lu Hao said, "I agree, but I have a request, that is, I don't want to increase the sales fee by two percent to 360, and you can reduce the operating system sold to Xiaomi Technology a little more, $25 per unit." ”

Bill Gates thinks that Lu Hao's request is more beneficial to Microsoft, how many computers can Xiaomi Technology sell in a year? That's nowhere near as much as the 2 percent increase in sales expenses. The only drawback is that Xiaomi Technology has nothing to do with itself when it earns more or less.

"Okay, I agree to your request, but Xiaomi Technology must keep this secret, and if it is leaked, we will charge it at $30 per unit."

Lu Hao smiled, "No problem, and you are responsible for helping me persuade IBM to withdraw the lawsuit." ”

The next day, Sequoia Capital and IBM, which led the joint efforts of many companies to sue Microsoft, Intel, 360, and Xiaomi Technology, suddenly withdrew their lawsuits.

Newspapers, television, radio and many other media have reported on it.

The leaderless prosecution alliance quickly became a mess under Lu Hao's tactics, and in the end, the court only sentenced the fine, and a crisis disappeared invisibly.

At the beginning of November, Lu Hao secretly met with Steve Jobs, the former president of Apple.

As soon as they met, Lu Hao explained to him his decision to buy Apple straight to the point, and asked Jobs to re-emerge as Apple's president.

Jobs met Lu Hao half a year ago, and he was not surprised by the content of Lu Hao's conversation with him today, but Lu Hao asked him to make his own conditions, and he was deeply surprised by the promise that he would unconditionally agree to all of them.

At first, he didn't believe it, but when Lu Hao took the lawyer with him and recorded all the requirements he made, he no longer doubted it when Lu Hao signed and handed it to him.

Looking at this tempting contract, Jobs tore it up with a smile, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Your sincerity touched me, first of all, I want to say sorry to you sincerely, I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

Lu Hao didn't expect him to tear up such a good contract, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Jobs, do you have no intention of cooperating with me?" ”

Jobs shook his head and said seriously, "No, it's the exact opposite, I've decided to join you now, and there are no requirements!" ”

As soon as Jobs's words came out, lawyer Michelle was stunned for a moment, Jobs she had contact with him, and understood that he had never been a good talker, known for his temper and stubbornness, many people could not stand his bad temper, never expected that he would be so easily recovered by his own boss.

If it weren't for Jobs, Michelle would probably have said to Lu Hao adoringly, boss, hello great!

Sometimes the relationship between people is so simple, such as the sympathy between Lu Hao and Jobs at this time.

Lu Hao said with a smile, "In this case, we will first acquire Apple, and then we will start to contact Apple's major shareholders from tomorrow." ”

Jobs said disapprovingly, "It's too urgent, now Apple's market value is less than $1.7 billion, we should take the opportunity to buy it from the secondary market, and finally talk to the major shareholders." ”

Lu Hao laughed and said, "We have been quietly absorbing Apple shares half a year ago, and now we already hold 26% of Apple's shares, and the secondary market is no longer easy to absorb." ”

Jobs also laughed, "Some people say that you are as cunning as a fox, it seems that this is not wrong at all, 26% should be the largest shareholder of Apple, right?" ”

Lu Hao nodded and said, "We used tens of thousands of personal accounts to quietly absorb, Apple's major shareholders did not find out, we first quietly contacted them privately, if they agree to sell the shares they hold, we will issue a privatization offer to the Securities Regulatory Commission after we negotiate the price." ”

"Now Apple's situation is very difficult, Apple's bank deposits can only last for 3 months, Jill Amelio is already anxious, and Apple's major shareholders do not trust him, Apple's performance has continued to deteriorate since he became president, and the current Apple is only an empty shell." Jobs said.

"It's also a good time for us to buy Apple." Lu Hao said with a faint smile.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jobs suggested, "If I want to get in touch with Apple's major shareholder, I suggest I first meet with Steve Wozniak, who was my original partner, and who currently owns 10 percent of Apple's shares, and if there is a price that makes him happy, he will definitely sell it to us." ”

Lu Hao said seriously, "You have the final say on Apple's side, and I promise you that after the completion of Apple's acquisition, as long as you are Apple's CEO, I will not interfere with your decision at all, but will also hand over all the voting rights in my hand to you." (To be continued.) )
