Chapter 879: The Big ** Thrown at the Apple
Cook shrugged, and instead of arguing with Xiao Qi about this, he began to ponder: "Mr. Xiao, if Apple is next in what you say...... Daoyin opened a foundry, what benefits can you give us? ”
He has a lot of power in Apple, and Xiao Qi really asked the right person about the opening of the foundry!
But it is a pity that Cook is also one of the decision-makers of Apple's "low foundry fee", and the Apple blood and tear factories in China and India have his "credit".
Later, these bloody and tearful facts were dug up by the American media, and Cook also came forward to explain.
Although he talked a lot of nonsense, in essence, he did not change at all, and he still enslaved the workers of the foundry, and then enjoyed the huge profits alone.
So don't look at Cook as suave as a university professor, in fact, this old boy is ruthless!
Of course, we can't talk nonsense, Apple is already kind enough compared to real clothing luxury goods, toys and daily necessities manufacturers, at least the profits they provide are distributed, and the salaries of workers are still about average.
The other manufacturers are the ones who really want to treat Huaguo workers as robots and never want to repair and maintain them.
Xiao Qi's high welfare measures in China were reported by foreign media, but not only did not arouse their admiration, but were mostly criticized and questioned.
This makes the teenager sometimes very indignant: it is natural for you to give high welfare to your employees and the people; Young master, I'm a little nicer to my workers, just chirping and talking crookedly there, what a living bastard! It's the same as it was more than a hundred years ago!
"It's good!" Xiao Qi laughed, patted his chest and said, "You also know the preferential policies in Huaguo, and Apple will definitely not suffer in Huaguo." Other than that, I could consider Apple buying a little bit of a stake in the DreamPad app store. What does Mr. Cook think? ”
"Hiss......"
Cook was stunned, then trembled, and even tried to get up, but he hit the top of the car headlong, and he grinned in pain.
"What? Did I hear me right? He didn't care about the pain, and his eyes were staring at Xiao Qi like a wolf. Mr. Xiao, do you really have this plan? You didn't lie to me, did you? Can Apple really own a stake in the DreamPad app store? ”
As Apple's COO, Cook is also a powerful figure, but he still lost his temper.
Apple tried its best, and even the tough Joe gang leader backed down and agreed to the coexistence of DreamPad and IPHONE, the biggest reason is definitely not the patent conflict, but because the Joe gang saw the strong momentum of the DreamPad app store and couldn't catch up. Cooperation, not confrontation, can only be chosen.
Now Xiao Qi actually said lightly that he is going to sell some shares of the DreamPad app store to Apple, which is definitely no less than pie in the sky!
It doesn't take too much, just give Apple 10%-20% of the shares, then Apple will be able to occupy the role of talking in the app store, and many things will have a foundation, and there is no need to worry about being kicked out in the future.
Many people have a misconception. That is, to control a company, you must have a 51% stake. Only then can we monopolize power and make a statement.
In fact, this is not the case, at least not in the developed countries of Europe and the United States.
Usually in a super large company, the proportion of individual shareholders and company shareholders is not too high, but there are many people who are in charge of the overall situation.
For example, Joe's gang leader, who owns only 0.6% of Apple's shares. But who dares to say that he was not the first person in Apple?
Even some chairmen don't have any shares in the company, is it not the same as power?
Back to the DreamPad app store.
The United States is a country that relies heavily on the law, whenever you own a stake in a company, no matter how much, and are unfairly treated by a major shareholder. It also has the right to fight back, which will cause a lot of trouble for major shareholders.
Unless you are a 100% private company, then you can not be bound by shareholders, otherwise even if you divide 1%, there is a "company law" and "shareholders' rights and interests law" to supervise.
There may be many people who think that it is better for the company not to involve others.
But have you noticed a very special phenomenon?
That is, all joint-stock companies are generally better developed than private enterprises.
In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, private enterprises are only small and medium-sized enterprises such as restaurants and factories in some urban areas, and there is no real large company that is not a joint-stock company.
Therefore, the advantages of the joint-stock system are definitely not known to those outsiders.
What's more, 10%-20% is not low, at least after having them, Apple can ensure that it can use the DreamPad app store smoothly, and can also participate in it and play a more important role.
Apple's active participation is something that Xiao Qi will not stop, because the interests of the two are the same, how can a smart person refuse to make money for everyone?
Facing Cook's undisguised eager gaze, Xiao Qi smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Cook, you heard it right. One of my key goals in California was to work with Apple on a broader level. The DreamPad app store is one of them. Well, of course, my preconditions should be met before it is necessary to continue the negotiations. ”
Cook clenched his fists and said with a straight face: "As long as everyone has the intention of cooperating, then nothing is a problem!" ”
No matter how excited he is, it is impossible for Cook to say "Daoyin is no problem to open a factory" now, this is not reserved at all, how can he be Apple's COO?
However, he couldn't calm down anymore, so he ordered the driver to park the car on the side of the road, said sorry to Xiao Qi, and sat in the front passenger seat.
Because it was a luxury car, the front and back were separated by opaque glass windows, so Xiao Qi and Tang Mingxiang naturally didn't know what he was doing.
The bright and touching girl had been listening to the conversation between the two just now, because she had now begun to struggle in the mall, so she was also thinking about Xiao Qi's intentions, wanting to see how her talented husband came to gallop in the mall.
When Tang Mingxiang asked, Xiao Qi said in a harmonious voice: "What else can he do?" I must have asked for advice from the Joe gang leader! How could it be possible not to let Gang Leader Qiao know about such a big matter as soon as possible? (To be continued......)
