Chapter Ninety-Six: Negotiations
At this time, Li Xuan didn't know what he was doing, he had already been noticed by the special department of Huaguo, and now Li Xuan was still working on the next negotiation with Jobs.
Li Xuan, escorted by a group of black-clothed bodyguards such as Er Du, walked into Apple's headquarters building without the reporter knowing.
In the conference room of Apple's headquarters, Jobs and Li Xuan both kicked their people out of the conference room, and Jobs personally closed the door of the conference room.
Jobs, who closed the door, frowned and looked at Li Xuan in front of him, even if his good partner Cook told him that the decision-maker of Dream Technology was very young.
But when he saw it with his own eyes, it still made Jobs feel a burst of surprise in his heart, because he was so young, which reminded Jobs of when he was young.
But compared with the current calm and leisurely sitting in the conference room of Apple's headquarters drinking tea, Jobs feels that he was simply weak back then.
Jobs felt for a moment whether he was getting old, and it was only a moment that Jobs put this idea aside, after all, Jobs's life was like a warrior, fighting for Apple.
Putting aside his thoughts, Jobs walked to the opposite side of Li Xuan and sat down, looking at Li Xuan without speaking, although Jobs was very surprised by the other party's youth, but Jobs, as a person who came over, also understood the temperament of young people, that is, he was unwilling to calm down.
From the other party's simple rejection of Cook's first acquisition, Jobs knew that the decision-maker of Dream Technology was a person who would not hold his breath.
Just like himself back then, he was young and grumpy and slowly lost control of Apple, until he was gradually kicked out of Apple.
Li Xuan drank tea and looked at Jobs, who was sitting opposite and did not speak, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he already knew in his heart that both parties were waiting for the other party to speak.
If Li Xuan knew Jobs's thoughts on this, he would definitely laugh, because if Li Xuan was an out-and-out young man, he might be a young man who didn't think about things as Jobs thought.
But as a Li Xuan who has experienced two lives, his inner calmness can be said to be not as bad as Jobs, but sometimes Li Xuan is unwilling to go against his heart.
Since life has been reborn, sometimes there should not be so many constraints, it is better to be casual, otherwise Li Xuan would not provoke so many women.
Jobs and Li Xuan were silent like this, observing each other from time to time.
Time is lost as the hands of the clock tick and tick.
The people waiting outside the conference room looked at the time in their hands from time to time, wanting to hear what was going on in the conference room, and Cook, who walked out of the conference room, did not leave, but also stood outside the door of the conference room, wanting to hear what was going on inside.
Cook was really worried about the temper of his old partner Jobs, and if Jobs couldn't help his temper during the negotiations between the decision-makers of the two companies, Cook, who was guarding outside, would rush in for a round.
Because Cook really knows how important this negotiation is to Apple, even though Apple now has several patents on smartphones. But that was only a temporary constraint on the opponent, and it wouldn't be long before the other side would find a way to bypass these patents or use other patents instead.
It's all because of these patents that Apple has in its hands, and its position in smartphones is really embarrassing, and these patents can be said to be important or not.
Because of this, Cook will care about this negotiation very much, and he is afraid that Jobs will explode his temper during the negotiation, so Cook will always stay outside the door of the conference room and listen to the voices inside.
It wasn't until Cook heard Jobs' calm tone from inside that Cook calmed down, at least the start was good, and Cook didn't hear any signs of impending anger from Jobs's tone.
"Mr. Li Xuan, how are you going to give Apple the right to use the patent for smart phones?" The long silence made Jobs unable to hold his breath at first, asked the question in his heart, and then said the conditions that Apple could give.
"Apple can exchange or pay for Apple's patents on smartphones and Dream Technology Group's patents."
Jobs, who is known as a tyrant, didn't expect that the young man opposite could be so calm and watched the other party drink cup after cup of tea.
I feel that there is no way to go on like this, Jobs had to break the silence first, I don't want to be like this anymore, Apple's new product Apple mobile phone, very much needs the patents in the hands of Dream Technology, if there is no patent in the hands of Dream Technology, for Western countries that are very strict on patent protection,
In the future, Apple's mobile phone will be launched, and the product will be ordered to be delisted, which is not the most important thing, and Apple will have to pay high compensation for infringing patents at that time.
For the first time, Jobs had an aversion to the patent protection measures of Western countries, although the patent protection measures of Western countries were a measure to suppress those underdeveloped countries and use patents illegally and without compensation in other countries.
But this time, Apple wanted to ask for the right to use the patent from an Asian country, a small company, which made Jobs have the idea for the first time that it would be good if there were no patent protection measures, at least in this case, Jobs hoped that the law would not protect the patent legitimacy of Dream Technology.
Although Jobs also understood that this was not possible, if the law really no longer protects the exclusive legitimacy of patents, it will also be an era when business development begins to be chaotic.
Whether Apple will exist by that time is also unknown, after all, Apple is also a company that operates on exclusive patents.
"It seems that you were unruly first, who sued Meng Dream Technology in court for an almost shameless reason after I refused the acquisition."
"Mr. Li Xuan, that's just a commercial means, it's nothing to do with shamelessness or shamelessness, if you can, Dream Technology can appeal."
Jobs laughed and denied Li Xuan's slander, and resolutely refused to admit that the method used to take Dream Technology to court was shameless, which was related to Apple's glorious imagination.
But what Jobs thought about in his mind was how to bring Dream Technology Group back to the negotiating table if it didn't, and Jobs was glad that Dream Technology, like most companies, had some small mistakes in operation.
Otherwise, Jobs doesn't know why Dream Technology, which owns a whole chain of patents on smartphones, should negotiate with Apple.
Otherwise, Jobs doesn't know how to save Apple's next generation of products.
Apple is almost saying goodbye to the smartphone market, and it was the slightest mistake in Dream Technology that saved Apple's products. It doesn't end up being an exhibit in a lab.
Jobs didn't know why Apple sued and won, and Dream Technology did not appeal, including Li Xuan who played a big role in it.
It's all because Li Xuan needs Apple to enter the field of smart phones, and to be the presence of the superviser of Dream Technology, otherwise Apple may really say goodbye to smartphones in the next ten years.
