Chapter 602: The Truth

The field of instant messaging has a lot of prospects, and the market is still immature.

Therefore, the development potential of Zhiwei company, which operates the WeChat project, is huge.

After accepting Apple's investment, JMicron will usher in a period of high-pitched development.

With Apple's support, there is a good chance that JMicron will grow into billions of dollars in a few years.

But Kim Yun-ho could not accept Jobs' investment proposal.

It's not that he's arrogant, it's that he has his own bitterness.

The development of Jeju real estate companies is more important than simply making money.

Now that the development of real estate companies is burdened by money, Kim Yun-ho must cash out $1 billion in a few months.

Accepting Apple's investment will inevitably have many restrictions, including the prohibition of selling shares at will.

At that time, Kim Yunhao will have a lot of restrictions if he wants to cash out in the short term, and it is even impossible.

Therefore, after a brief consideration, Kim Yun-ho directly rejected Jobs' tempting offer.

Jobs didn't expect Kim Yun-ho to refuse so simply, and he was stunned on the spot.

This kind of investment intention is an opportunity that a small company dreams of, and he can't figure out how Kim Yunho would refuse so decisively, without even any hesitation.

Jobs looked at Kim Yunho quietly, his eyes full of puzzlement.

After a short silence, Cook stepped forward to resolve the embarrassment and said, "Mr. Kim Yun-ho, you might as well think about our proposal again, of course, if you still refuse, we can understand." ”

As the soul of Apple, Jobs' majesty cannot be missed.

Being rejected by the owner of a small company with a small name is undoubtedly a loss of face for Jobs.

And Cook used language skills to cleverly change the concept, replacing Jobs's proposal with Apple's proposal. In this way, at least Jobs' personal majesty and face can be protected.

And Jobs didn't say a word. Nodding, he agreed with Cook's statement.

Through this twist and turn, Kim Yun-ho saw some doorways.

Jobs was arrogant and straightforward, and it was easy to offend people.

And Cook played the role of 'white face' and cleaned up the mess for Jobs.

The two complement each other and are a perfect match.

This moment. Kim Yun-ho suddenly had some envy and admiration for Jobs.

I envy Jobs for being able to gather elite talents such as Cook and Forstel with his personal charm.

I admire Jobs's ability to suppress these elites and give full play to their characteristics.

After digging deeper, Kim Yunhao discovered that Apple's success was not accidental.

It's really that Apple has gathered too many high-end talents, and Jobs knows how to use these elites.

The idea of envy and admiration was fleeting, and Kim Yunhao immediately changed his words: "JMicron will not accept Apple's investment for the time being, but in the near future, JMicron hopes to cooperate with Apple in depth, including accepting investment." ”

Hearing this, Jobs asked straight and straight: "How long will it be in the future?" ”

Kim Yunho replied directly: "One year." ”

Jobs nodded: "Yes." I can wait for you for a year. ”

Grass-roots and potential companies are developing very quickly in the early stage.

A year can really change a lot of things.

But in any case, without strong resources, a small company cannot become a giant.

Jobs is confident that a year later, he will still be able to control talents like Zhiwei and Kim Yun-ho.

"I agree to let WeChat replace MSN in the Apple Advertising Store for a period of one year."

Jobs gave the terms, and then lay down in his chair and said nothing.

Hearing this, Kim Yunho's heart fell to the ground.

Although I expected it for a long time, I heard such a result with my own ears. It still made him happy.

Jobs lost interest in the conversation, and the negotiations moved to a different location.

After coming to the conference room. Cook and Forster led the negotiations on behalf of Apple.

And Kim Yun-ho sent Li Xiaoran and Jani to contact each other.

He was relatively unfamiliar with the specific negotiation work, so he still left it to the more professional Li Xiaoran and Jia Ni to do it.

Two days later, the cooperation agreement between Apple and Zhiwei was officially released.

1. WeChat settled in the Apple Software Store, and the publicity resources of the Apple Software Store were strongly inclined to WeChat.

2. WeChat has the obligation to cooperate with Apple's crackdown on MSN, including the launch of related features.

3. One year later, if Zhiwei sells its shares. Apple has the right of first refusal.

4. Zhiwei can disclose Apple's acquisition intention to the outside world, and Apple will cooperate with it for a fee.

There are four main articles in the general agreement, and there are many supplementary cooperation agreements after that.

Apple has mature terms of cooperation, so the supplementary agreements, although numerous, do not waste much time. Compare it to weeks or even months of negotiations. The negotiation was completed in two days, which can be called speed.

Kim Yoon-ho's time is precious, and he knows very well that the weak Zhiwei company does not have the capital to bargain.

Therefore, after the main cooperation intention was negotiated, Apple proposed a supplementary agreement almost without changing a word.

Through this incident, Li Xiaoran also saw that Kim Yunhao had a very clear purpose and was very courageous, and he never cared too much about side matters and other issues. It's a style she'd seen with her grandfather before.

Unknowingly, Lee Xiaoran has already regarded Kim Yunho as a big man.

During this trip to the United States, after working with Kim Yun-ho, Li Xiaoran's mentality has changed a lot.

The most direct manifestation is that she is more optimistic about Kim Yun-ho and saves Kim Yun-ho a lot of trouble in the future.

………

During the negotiations, Kim Yun-ho gave exclusive interviews to several media outlets in private, revealing some details of the negotiations.

After the negotiations, he led Li Xiaoran and Jia Ni back to South Korea non-stop.

Choi Kong-jin's acquisition plan for Zhiwei can be described as a salary draw, and Kim Yun-ho has to deal with it against time.

In this way, they become trapeze.

Soon after arriving in the United States, the jet lag did not adjust, and he flew back to South Korea.

On the plane, Li Xiaoran crossed her calves wrapped in black stockings, and complained sultryly: "I finally came to the United States, except for work and work, I didn't relax well." So squeezing me. How do you replenish it? ”

Kim Yunho flipped through the magazine in his hand and said without raising his head: "You say the conditions." ”

Li Xiaoran's eyes rolled, and a sly gaze flashed in her eyes: "I want to know the real reason why you rejected Jobs' investment proposal." ”

Kim Yunho shook his head: "I refuse to answer, change conditions." ”

In the past few days, Li Xiaoran has been looking for an excuse to explore this secret, but Kim Yunhao simply refuses every time.

At this point, Li Xiaoran knows that Kim Yunhao will not say what he plans in his heart no matter what.

She sighed. Compromised: "Then I want to know how you developed that magical analytical ability." ”

This question is not a secret and can be answered.

Kim Yun-ho replied happily: "You can do it with subtle observation and simple reasoning." ”

Li Xiaoran pouted, her face full of disbelief.

Kim Yun-ho had a headache.

It seems that if this woman's curiosity is not satisfied, it will definitely be endless entanglement in the future.

He reluctantly explained: "By observing the surrounding environment and character characteristics, a lot of hidden information can be analyzed, and this part is not mysterious when it comes to psychology.

That's how the nameplate in Jobs' office was located.

Of course, it's not enough to just observe things.

I studied micro-expressions, by observing the changes in expressions. It is possible to analyze some of the mental activities of the characters.

Facial expression observation combined with basic observation can lead to many correct conclusions.

Jobs deliberately sat in the wrong position that day, and I used these two methods to analyze it.

At that time, Jobs's expression was very uncomfortable, and I felt abnormal.

Later, I noticed that he was looking at the location next to the blackboard, intentionally or unintentionally, and guessed that it was his original location. Then I added a careful look at things, and I guessed what was really going on. ”

"A combination of expression observation and object observation?" Li Xiaoran muttered, "It seems to be very interesting!" ”

She asked, "You guessed that he used these two methods to meet with the president of Symantec?" ”

Unexpectedly, Kim Yunhao actually shook his head and denied: "No! This kind of analysis is not as amazing as you think.

I was able to guess this because I knew the answer in advance.

At that time, my explanations for them were all extrapolated backwards from the answers. ”

Li Xiaoran's eyes widened and she said curiously: "So you investigate his whereabouts in advance." And then fool him? ”

Kim Yunho smiled: "How is this possible. I didn't know he would come to me on a whim. ”

Li Xiaoran's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was puzzled: "Then how did you know the answer in advance." ”

Kim Yoon-ho explained with a smile: "Don't forget. We were also at the Hilton Garden Inn at the time.

Out of professional habit, whenever I go to an unfamiliar environment, I immediately investigate the situation around me.

Therefore, I have an impression of the outdoor garden there and know that it will be sprinkled in the morning and the soil will be moist.

The most important point is when we go out in the morning. I happened to meet President Bennett on the road.

I've been reading a lot of IT magazines lately and I've seen Bennett's picture, so I happen to recognize him.

Symantec was a long way from the Hilton Hotel, and it was unusual for Bennett to come there early in the morning.

Most likely, he went there for business meetings or to receive important guests.

But either way. To be able to make Bennett come forward in person at least shows that the other party has a big background.

So, I took it to heart at the time.

Later, when I saw Jobs's unusual outfit and mud spots on his trouser legs, I ventured to assume that the person Bennett had met at the Hilton was none other than Jobs.

When I tentatively said that Jobs had been to the Hilton Hotel in the morning, he looked very surprised.

Although this expression appeared very briefly, I kept observing him, so I captured this change in expression. In this way, I confirmed the guess and then told the full guess.

Perhaps it seems to you that I can guess what happened that morning with great analytical skills.

But it's full of coincidences. ”

Hearing Kim Yunhao's explanation, Li Xiaoran suddenly realized.

It turns out that there is this kind of secret.

If Kim Yunho didn't say it, Li Xiaoran wouldn't know it yet.

So far, Li Xiaoran's jealousy of Kim Yunhao has decreased a few points.

Because if Kim Yoon-ho can really do that just by observation, it's really scary.

But what's really going on?

When Kim Yoon-ho turned his head to look out the window, the corners of his mouth drew an imperceptible arc. (To be continued.) )
