Chapter 599: Talking to Apple

At Incheon International Airport, a plane marked Korean Air accelerated on the runway and then soared into the blue sky like a gull across the sea.

In the first-class cabin, the pressure in Kim Yun-ho's heart suddenly eased as the plane took off.

At the meeting a few days ago, he fully communicated with Li Jianhe and others, and Li Jianhe and others also stated on the spot that they would not transfer the shares of Zhiwei at this time, so as not to cause turmoil in the company.

But everyone, including Kim Yoon-ho, didn't expect Nateon's counterattack to be so resolute.

With strong support from SK Group, Choi Kong-jin privately contacted Lee Kun-hyuk and others and promised to buy a total of 40% of their shares at five times the price.

In the case of Choi, who invested a total of $4 million twice, Choi would earn $20 million if the shares were traded on Choi's terms.

The net profit of $16 million in just three months is a temptation that ordinary people can hardly resist.

simply had Kim Yun-ho's advance communication, and everyone didn't let go easily.

In the face of interests and righteousness, Li Jianhyuk and others chose the latter.

Although he has temporarily overcome the current difficulties, Kim Yunhao also knows very well that his relationship with Lee Jian Hyuk and others is not solid, and his face is not so big. When the temptation is big enough, Li Jianhe and others will still sell their shares.

At the same time, the refusal of Lee Keon-hyuk and others did not make Choi Kong-jin give up, and he began to continuously increase the purchase price and tried to exert influence and pressure on Lee Keon-hyuk and others through SK's network.

Lee Ken-hyuk and others can reject Choi Kong-jin's acquisition proposal without hesitation, but they can't ignore the voices of their respective families. Especially Choi Shinmin, who is a member of the SK Choi family. The pressure is the greatest.

Choi Shin-min's father personally stepped forward. Informed him of the transfer of shares in JMicron to Nateon.

Others are roughly facing this situation as well.

When Lee Keon-hyuk, Choi Shin-min and others wavered. Kim Yoon-ho stepped forward and dropped the phrase 'Wait for me for a week', and then he took Jani on a flight to the United States.

In the face of Choi Kong-jin's multifaceted encirclement and suppression, Kim Yun-ho wants to seek external support to resolve the current crisis.

The destination of his trip was Apple's headquarters in California, USA.

………

"Now you can say it, what are we going to the United States for?"

A charming voice interrupted Kim Yoon-ho's thoughts.

Jin Yunhao looked at Li Xiaoran, who was full of charms around him, and was helpless.

This trip involved many negotiations, and Kim Yunhao wanted to take Kim Yunxi to see the world.

However, Kim Yunxi's English was not good, so he refused on the spot.

Somehow, Li Xiaoran heard the news of his trip, so she secretly followed.

Kim Yun-ho was quite surprised when he saw Li Xiaoran on the plane.

Until now, he didn't know how to deal with this shrewd woman in front of him.

I didn't see Kim Yunho reply for a long time. Li Xiaoran frowned slightly, bit her sexy lip and whispered softly: "Just say it~ Satisfy my curiosity..."

It's not like Kim Yoon-ho, the girl who has a hair, who hasn't seen it.

But like Li Xiaoran, there is a hint of sexiness and delicateness in her hair, but men can't resist it.

Jin Yunhao rubbed his forehead and sighed: "You talk well, and you sit down, don't lean on me." ”

Noticing that Jin Yunhao's tone was loose, Li Xiaoran glanced at him obliquely, and then sat down dignifiedly.

Kim Yunhao explained: "The main reason for this trip to the United States is to establish a cooperative relationship with Apple. ”

Li Xiaoran's bright eyes were bright, and the light and shadow of rippling water flashed in her eyes: "You want to improve the fame and commercial value of WeChat through cooperation with Apple." And then increase the acquisition cost of Choi Kong Jin, forcing him to abandon the acquisition plan? ”

Li Xiaoran is very smart. In one sentence.

Kim Yunho nodded: "That's right." ”

Li Xiaoran frowned slightly: "The plan is very good, but are you sure you can convince Apple to lower its status and cooperate with the weak Zhiwei?"

It is undeniable that the WeChat project of Zhiwei is very potential, but on the other side of a behemoth like Apple, Zhiwei still does not have much negotiation capital.

I really can't figure it out, where is your confidence? ”

Jin Yunhao smiled: "Yes, Zhiwei is very weak, but sometimes cooperation does not require identity reciprocity.

For example, in ancient China, the daughter bought a horse or Ximu Lixin, the identity of both parties in this kind of cooperation is not equal, but because of the need for both parties to cooperate well.

Therefore, under certain conditions, there is also the possibility of cooperation between the weak Zhiwei and the huge Apple. ”

Li Xiaoran nodded approvingly.

At some particular moment, there is a real possibility for small companies and large companies to work together.

Li Xiaoran didn't continue to ask, she turned on the computer to check Apple's situation.

She has to use her ability to find out the hidden answer of Kim Yoon-ho.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran no longer annoyed him, Kim Yunhao was relaxed.

He instructed Jani on the other side: "Familiarize yourself with the company's materials, the next negotiation is very important, and the technical side will be left to you." ”

Jani smiled confidently, "OK." ”

Jani leads the research and development of WeChat, knows the company's situation best, and is an expert in technology.

He is responsible for product demonstrations and technical aspects of the negotiations.

That's why Kim Yoon-ho brought Jani here.

In addition, in comparison, Li Xiaoran may have more business negotiation skills and experience than him.

This is also the reason why Kim Yunhao was able to allow Li Xiaoran to come with him.

The advantages of Li Xiaoran's existence outweigh the disadvantages, and Kim Yun-ho chooses what is beneficial to him and actively ignores the negative side.

――

Two days later, Kim Yun-ho and his entourage met with Scott, senior vice president of the software department, at Apple's headquarters in California. Forster.

Apple has brought together the world's top teams, the most well-known of which is the Nine Tigers.

And Forstel is the second-ranked figure among the Nine Tigers.

Foster is the soul of Apple's software business, and he is brilliant in software design.

At present, Foster's IOS operating system design and related software integration are in charge of Foster.

Kim Yun-ho wants Zhiwei to cooperate with Apple. It is best to find Forstel.

And Fosterle is also the highest-ranking person Kim Yunhao has access to at Apple.

Distinguish the raunchyness of a tech otaku like Jani. Forster has a neat appearance and a hearty smile. Judging by appearances alone. It's hard to see that he's in IT technology.

After a courtesy greeting, the conversation quickly got to the point.

After understanding the main features of WeChat, Forsterl concluded: "WeChat is undoubtedly excellent as an instant messaging software, and if you want to put WeChat in Apple's software store, there is no problem. ”

As senior vice president of software, he has the authority to approve WeChat as a partner of the Apple Software Store.

But Kim Yoon-ho's purpose is much more than that.

A simple software store partner didn't satisfy his appetite.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a great honor to be a partner of the Apple App Store.

But for Kim Yoon-ho, it doesn't have much practical significance.

Because in the Apple Software Store. There are thousands of pieces of software. WeChat, as one of them, does not have any advantages. And it has little effect on WeChat's fame.

Kim Yun-ho said, "Personally, I think our partnership can go further. ”

Forster's face was calm: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Kim Yunhao said in an astonishing voice: "I hope that JMicron and Apple can fully cooperate and replace MSN's position in the Apple Software Store with WeChat." ”

Hearing this, Forster's eyes froze.

He gradually retracted his smile and asked in a deep voice: "Why should we give up a mature product like MSN and cooperate with a new software like WeChat instead?" In other words, why does WeChat get such preferential treatment!? ”

The tone of the conversation changed, and the room was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Jani glanced at Kim Yoon-ho beside him with some concern, praying that Kim Yoon-ho's next words would defuse Forster's anger. Because the situation of Zhiwei Company does not allow Kim Yunhao to make a strong enemy again.

Li Xiaoran didn't say a word, and looked at Kim Yunhao quietly with bright eyes.

She analyzed something. But I don't think that's enough to make a big deal out of Apple on its behalf.

She wanted to see how Kim Yoon-ho defused Forster's feint anger and finally persuaded Faustel.

Be the focus of the audience. Kim Yun-ho's clear and fair face showed a faint smile, and he replied unhurriedly: "Why? Just because WeChat has functions that are not inferior to MSN, it can replace MSN.

In addition, I want to correct your erroneous view: I don't want you to give up or suppress MSN; Rather, in the face of Microsoft's challenge, you need to respond, give up, or crack down on MSN. ”

Hearing this, Forstel could no longer maintain a calm posture of conversation.

He stood up abruptly, staring at Kim Yoon-ho with wide eyes.

The suppression of MSN is a top secret of Apple, and no one knows about it.

Now this secret suddenly came out of Kim Yun-ho's mouth, which naturally shocked Forster.

"How do you know?!"

Forstel was excellent as a software designer, but failed as a negotiator.

In business negotiations, never expose your hole cards and the real situation.

As soon as Forster's rhetorical question came out, Kim Yun-ho knew that he was not far from victory.

Similarly, while Li Xiaoran was shocked, she also knew that Kim Yun-ho's winning rate was getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing the smiles of Kim Yunho and Lee Xiaoran, Forster also realized the loophole in his sentence just now.

He twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, then made an excuse to leave the room.

After Forster's departure, Li Xiaoran asked, "This is what you rely on?" How did you come up with this? ”

Kim Yoon-ho calmly replied: "Very simple reasoning.

Not long ago, Microsoft launched the WindowPhone7 system to compete with Apple's OIS system, and publicly stated that WP7 will be the funeral of OIS. As a result, the relationship between the two companies is unprecedentedly strained.

In the face of Microsoft's aggressiveness and provocation, Apple naturally wants to return the color.

Suppressing Microsoft's MSN and withdrawing MSN from Apple's software store is currently Apple's best and most appropriate means of counterattack.

Because, MSN ranks third in the download of the Apple Software Store, and suppressing MSN will make Microsoft very painful. But at the same time, MSN is not Microsoft's core business, and Apple's suppression of MSN will not really provoke Microsoft.

That's why I say that Apple's suppression of MSN is the best and most appropriate means to fight back.

After MSN leaves, it naturally needs to be replaced by corresponding instant messaging software, which is an opportunity for WeChat.

With Apple's support and publicity, WeChat will greatly increase its fame and commercial value. (To be continued.) )
