Chapter 193: First Conversation

"I'm out."

Lotus looked at the three girls who were sitting in a row with their backs to them and said, Li Li also rushed back yesterday.

"Ah, got it."

Li Jiani replied without looking back, she was driving, so she couldn't be distracted!

"Amy! Don't hit me again! Emma screamed uncontrollably.

"I didn't, you're too slow!" Li Jiani laughed, controlling the car to sway left and right to scare people.

Lotus pursed her lips and smiled, this is good, at least they have a little fun at home. Running kart has just been open beta, he played once two days ago and let Li Jiani see it, and now if he has nothing to do, he pulls Emma and Li Li up and bumps into it.

"Call me if you have something, play less and pay attention to your eyes." He said a word of advice and went out of the house.

On the car,

"Hello? Mom, I'm gone now. ”

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road, I will send someone to wait for you downstairs."

After Zhang Li hung up the phone, she looked at the Apple camp led by Fu Stowe in the conference room and smiled, and the cooperation finally talked about the most critical part.

The smile on Fu Sto's face was very confident, but his heart was really not low. The purpose of their own side is very clear, the acquisition is impossible, and the only way out now is to seek cooperation. But the other party didn't make a request for a long time, which made him feel very uncomfortable! I'm afraid this is going to make the lion open his mouth, right? But they also have nothing to do, and the backwardness of technology makes them powerless.

After months of pestering, Fusto also learned that the Vphone phone came from a high-tech company called Light &Hope. They were unheard of by this company, and there was no way to contact the person in charge. Both Fusto and Steve Jobs were interested in developing these technicians who went beyond the current state of the art. If there is the slightest possibility, they are willing to pay a big price to solicit.

Time passed slowly, and just as Fu Stowe ran out of patience and was about to speak, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and an oriental man wearing sunglasses walked in.

"You're not late, are you?" Lotus took off her sunglasses and looked at Zhang Li and smiled.

Zhang Li smiled helplessly, don't you know it yourself?

"Eric??"

Among the entourage brought by Fu Sto, a young white girl instantly screamed in surprise. Not only her, except for a few or three people who were not interested in music and fashion, the eyes of the others looking at the lotus were quite complicated, surprised, excited, and confused.

Fusto struggled to keep his facial expression calm, but his heart was filled with shock. Of course he knows who Eric is, this is the singer who has long dominated the number one number one download on the Ituns music chart! But why is he here?

Although the lotus has become famous in Europe and the United States, it won the Grammy some time ago. But Apple, as a high-tech company with a market value of $72 billion, how could it be possible to pay attention to the origin of a singer!

Lotus smiled at them, looked at Fu Sto, and said, "Hello, Mr. Fu Sto, I am the head of Light &Hope High-Tech Company. You can call me Eric. ”

Fu Stowe took a deep breath, he stood up and shook hands with Lotus, and said with a smile: "Eric, I didn't expect to see you on such an occasion. I always thought it would be at your concert. ”

Lotus smiled slightly, "Mr. Fu Sto, I'm really looking forward to holding a concert in New York." ”

Fu Stowe was slightly stunned, his mind turned sharply, and his face became a little ugly.

Lotus shrugged her shoulders indifferently and sat down beside Zhang Li.

Legend has it that 50 years ago, during the Great Recession in the United States, many bankers lost their jobs and had to carry bags of apples from their suburban homes to the streets of New York to sell. Including some Ming ancestors, they were forced to make ends meet. Therefore, the apple tree common in New York State played a very important role in the New York economy, and the city government vigorously promoted the term Big.Apple to represent New York. That's why New York is also known as the Big Apple.

The meaning of Lotus's words just now was clearly revealed, and Fu Stowe also understood the other party's ambitions.

Although Zhang Li couldn't understand what the two of them said, it was obvious that the lotus had the upper hand, which made her feel relieved and completely relieved. Through several months of contact, she has deeply realized the difficulty of these American capitals.

Fu Stowe held back the anger in his heart and asked, "Mr. Eric, since you are the person in charge of Light&Hope, then may I ask you and the Lotus Group"

At this time, he still wanted to bypass the behemoth of the Lotus Group, and there were many ways to cooperate, but if it was a small company called Light &Hope, they would not be so passive.

"Mr. Fu Sto, my Chinese name" Lotus paused slightly and said with a smile: "It's called Lotus." ”

He looked at Zhang Li, who had a relaxed face, "This beautiful lady is my mother. ”

The translator was very discerning and quietly translated this sentence to Zhang Li.

Zhang Li smiled slightly when she heard this, and the expression on her face became brighter.

Fusto's heart was beating rapidly, and the worst was the worst. An opponent who has the technology, has the money, and even has a lot of popularity in Europe and the United States.

He fully believed that Eric would be able to find partners in Europe and the United States bypassing Apple, and that at that time, an iPhone without any qualitative change would only be a cripple.

"Mr. Fusto, I think you already have a certain understanding of Vphone." Lotus always had a faint smile on her face, "So what is the position of you, or Apple, for it?" ”

Fausto sorted out his emotions, and he understood that with Eric's appearance, the real meat drama was coming.

"Vphone is amazing, it can change the world, it can change the way people meet and have fun, and it can even be applied to a wide range of applications." Fu Stowe said solemnly, he bit the word can very hard.

Lotus nodded and said with a smile: "I believe that with the current level of technology and technology, no manufacturer can develop a product comparable to it." What do you think? ”

"Of course, there's no doubt about it." Fu Stoto said firmly that even Apple's technical reserves can't keep up, and other technology companies have no play.

Lotus flipped through the information that Guo Rui handed him, which was some of Apple's previous requests for cooperation.

"I took a look," Lotus said, looking up and saying with a smile, "To be honest, some of the requests are very unrealistic. ”

"For example, the underlying architecture of the Vos." Lotus spread out her hands and looked at Fu Stoo with a funny expression, "If Apple can provide us with the source code of Os.x, maybe we can talk about it." ”

Fu Stowe blushed slightly, of course they couldn't exchange the source code. But he had a hunch that today's Vos was what the future of ios he had developed would look like.

"And here," Lotus pointed to the document, "Regarding the sharing of process parameters for the hardware core, IMHO, I can't imagine what Apple will pay for it." ”

Lotus beckoned, Guo Rui immediately handed over another document, he opened it and handed it over, "Mr. Fu Sto, although I think you have carefully understood the market popularity of Vphone, these numbers may make this conversation go more smoothly." ”

Fusto glanced at it and looked up, as Eric said, he already knew quite a bit about the sales of Vphone, which was billions of dollars in sales! Every day in China, he fantasizes about Apple replicating this business miracle in Europe and the United States.

"Tell me what interests you." Fu Stowe said with a serious face, of course he knew that it was basically impossible for the other party to agree to these requests, but everything could be discussed. Now the most critical thing is that they need to figure out what the other person wants.

Lotus nodded, took out a document prepared in advance and handed it to Fu Sto, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fu Sto, this is a condition that I think is more reasonable." ”

Fu Stowe stared closely at the document in front of him that could determine the fate of Apple in the future, and slowly opened it.

The luxurious conference room fell silent, and the rustle of paper was unusually harsh.

Zhang Li looked at the lotus with a calm face with relief, she couldn't wait to throw this big stall to him directly.

Guo Rui stood quietly to the side, her heart full of incredulity. Although Lotus is a student at Harvard University and a singer, he has never heard of him being in charge of any project of the Lotus Group. When Guo Rui heard that this important meeting was in charge of Lotus, her heart was full of anxiety, the other party was the world's top high-tech company! She was afraid that the lotus flower would fall into the disadvantage, resulting in damage to her interests.

However, the development of events greatly surprised her, and Lotus, a young man who was only 20 years old, was completely in control of the situation. It seems that he is not facing a tiger that smells blood, but a kitten that he is going to keep in captivity.

Fusto's hands began to tremble slightly, his face growing ugly, anger burning his heart in his chest.

moment

"I'm sorry, Mr. Eric." Fu Sto's face turned a little blue and shook his head, "This plan has no value. ”

Lotus was not annoyed by his attitude, and said calmly: "Mr. Fu Sto, the specific details can be discussed." But you have to know how much you want to get, how much you have to pay. ”

Fu Stoto was stunned when he heard this, and his annoyed expression froze on his face, he hadn't heard this sentence for a long time. As a legendary high-tech company, Apple has always been a leader in the industry. Their products represent the cutting edge of science and technology, and represent fashion and fashion.

Lotus's words made him choose to ponder, and at the same time, he also put himself in the right position. (To be continued.) )
