Chapter 209: Cooperation

Sunday, June 17, Cupertino, California, Apple Computer's headquarters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Hello, Chairman Zhang." Jobs politely shook hands with Zhang Li.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs." Zhang Li smiled slightly.

Jobs nodded, he looked around at the entourage, his eyes on the lotus flower looked slightly, "Chairman Zhang, let's go to the conference room." ”

"Okay." Zhang Li took the lead and followed Fu Stoto away.

"Hi Steve." Lotus greeted with a smile, and he looked at the decent office building, "It's not bad." ”

Jobs, of course, sensed his perfunctory intentions, and he smiled: "Eric, you will be pleasantly surprised when you see Apple's new headquarters building." ”

Lotus shrugged, he knew that Jobs personally designed a spaceship headquarters building, but if I can see it, you may not be able to see it...

"Let's go, I'll show you around." Jobs invited the two, and he vaguely felt that Eric was quite unusual, so he maintained a very good relationship with him.

Lotus to Li Jiani, she nodded.

"Okay, Steve." He looked expectant, "I'm also curious about what the working atmosphere at Apple is like." ”

Jobs smiled confidently when he heard this, he was quite strict with the management of the company.

....

"Hello, Joe.. Mr. Jobs! ”

The employees who were resting in the hall looked at the oncoming three people in disbelief, and the faces of individual female employees were already excited.

Apple has always focused on youth, and young people who don't know Eric and Amy. It's Jobs here, otherwise there's no telling what would have happened.

There was no emotion on Jobs' face, but the pace of his feet accelerated.

Lotus pursed her lips and smiled, nodded at the crowd in the hall, and followed him inside.

"If you do something well, you should do something else. Don't dwell too long on the previous thing and think about what to do next. ”

Lotus looked at the black letters on the whiteboard on the wall and read it softly.

Although Jobs couldn't understand Eric's Chinese, he guessed what he said and said with a smile: "This is a sentence I used to remind myself when I was young." ”

Lotus glanced at Old Joe, who was fifty-one years old, and asked casually, "Steve, how is your body?" ”

Jobs was stunned and looked at Eric with a gloomy face, he couldn't guess what the young man knew.

He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in '03, but refused surgery because he was a Buddhist. He was reluctant to be physically opened and stressed that it was an offense. He then began to try some unconventional alternative treatments, but the results were predictable and completely useless. In '04 he had to undergo surgery, but the cancer had spread to all major parts of his liver, so he had to undergo a liver transplant. Unfortunately, the surgery came too late. All he could do now was to live as long as he could.

Last year, in a speech at Stanford University, Mr. Jobs emphasized that he had recovered, but only a few people knew the truth. His health affects Apple's stock market, while also putting his position within the company at risk.

"Very good." Jobs looked at him and said, "You know, I only had surgery last year. ”

Lotus nodded slowly, wondering how to charge him in two years...

In the conference room,

Several senior executives of Apple looked at the young man opposite in surprise, although they already knew Eric's identity, they still couldn't hide their shock after seeing it.

Steve Jobs stood in front of the screen and pointed to the PPT made with Keynote, and said, "The iPhone integrates all the possibilities of the iPod, and it has built-in Google Maps." ”

Lotus smiled silently, these two are indeed the shortcomings of Vphone.

"Eric," Jobs said with a smile as he looked at him, "it can be said that the iPhone is much better than the Vphone in terms of application and humanization." ”

The lotus is a little embarrassed, and the application market of vphone is shabby and terrible. Gao Meinan made a few apps according to his idea and threw them in the app store for free download, so he didn't have time to take care of them, and the domestic app companies couldn't keep up with the trend at all. At present, the top 10 apps in the app store are basically developed by technicians from other countries.

The screen rotates to show the design of the iPhone and various parameters. Jobs hesitated for a moment and skipped it directly, it couldn't be compared at all!

"Eric," Jobs said slowly, muttering slightly, "we have some new ideas for cooperation here. ”

"Oh?" The lotus looked at him curiously, did she want to turn back?

Jobs glanced at several high-level executives, and several of them nodded at the same time.

"Seriously, we don't know what kind of technology you have in your hands, and there are a lot of patent issues." Jobs looked at him with a complicated gaze, "So... We would like to work together as a partner to develop and operate VPHONE. ”

Lotus's heart beat a few times quickly, he didn't expect Apple to do this. It is said that it is R&D and operation, but in fact, they are exchanging everything they have prepared for the iPhone for two years in exchange for the qualification to join.

"We will improve the application market of Vphone, and be responsible for optimizing the UI and system." Jobs also knew in his heart that their only advantage was software and the ecosystem.

"What do you want?" Lotus asked calmly, his heart not showing any aversion to this way of cooperation. Neither he nor Gao Meinan focused on the mobile phone industry.

"15% stake in Light&Hope High-Tech Company." Jobs said slowly.

Lotus shook her head amusedly and said, "Steve, do you know how much vphone sales are in a year?" If it goes public widely, what do you think is the value of Light&Hope high-tech companies? ”

Jobs was silent, of course he knew that. According to their estimates, the Light&Hope high-tech company has a market capitalization of at least $100 billion. And if Vphone successfully lands in Europe, the United States and even the world, this number will definitely be doubled. After their investigation, the company had only three shareholders. What's even more tricky is that the Lotus Group, which is closely related to it, has not even been listed, which makes them have no choice but to honestly choose to cooperate. (To be continued.) )
