153 Don't grab the first place in everything (second change guaranteed)

Tim Cook walked into the specially prepared negotiation room with his team of eight people stunned.

In his opinion, it is a very important and very formal negotiation, and it may even be an existential negotiation for Apple......

However, their negotiator turned out to be only one person.

That's right, only Don Pudding alone.

"Ha, I guessed that it was likely to be you in the first place, in fact, today is a situation, according to my thoughts, anyway, the price has been paid to everyone, you pay the money with one hand, and I will exchange it with one hand. But my colleagues feel that life needs a little bit of ritual......"

"It's a terrible sense of ceremony, so we have to sit here and walk through the situation for this. So, Mr. Cook, have you made your decision? Ten billion dollars, 100 apples of HarmonyOS can be used for the long time. It's not expensive, is it?"

Apple's negotiators had just entered the door and sat down, without any buffer, and Don Pudding cut straight to the point.

In Tang Pudding's opinion, all the fun things have been done, and now it can be said to be the most boring part.

After all, talking about money hurts feelings.

"Of course, 10 billion dollars can have the right to use such a system for a long time, it is indeed not expensive, but if we want to buy the Hongmeng 100 directly and break the boundary, without sharing it with anyone, what price does it cost? I think it must be difficult for you to imagine the highest price that Apple can accept. ”

Tim Cook smiled and said what he thought.

Tang Pudding pursed his lips, not at all surprised, but he could only refuse.

"No, Mr. Cook, Apple doesn't want to buy out the HarmonyOS 100 entirely, and I don't want to do it. I am a person with Internet thinking, and my life principle is win-win and sharing, so the most disgusting thing in my life is monopoly and closure! And, most importantly, I don't want to cheat you!"

Really, at this moment, Don Pudding felt that he was simply too kind and noble.

didn't make a ruthless move to the death of the Apple family......

Don Pudding believed that in the near future, this man would be grateful to him.

"Shouldn't all prices be negotiable, or am I willing to be cheated by you once?"

Don Pudding rolled his eyes......

I've never seen such a real person, do you think you're selling abduction?

"No, as a kind and moral person, I refuse your offer!"

Tim Cook was not annoyed, smiled and continued: "Or $35 billion can change your mind, Mr. Tang. ”

"Do you think I seem to be short of those 35 billion people?" Tang Pudding rolled his eyes and said, "Quietly tell you what I want to say, what I lack is two hundred billion dollars." ”

This whisper......

A group of people next to Tim Cook paused unconsciously with their hands......

The gaze that looked at Tang Pudding was different again.

Two trillion dollars?

It's not expensive! The market value of 200 apples combined is almost enough.

Yes......

You're a teenager who doesn't like to brag, we all know you!

We'd love to hit you!

However, Don Pudding was telling the truth......

He really lacks two hundred billion dollars.

With so much money, the space city plan in his mind could start to be implemented right away.

A small amount of money like tens of billions of dollars is not enough for him to squander, and he can go to a fraction of a building by building casually.

"But we all know that these HarmonyOS 100 and Boundary Breaker are not worth two hundred billion. ”

Tim Cook resisted the urge to punch that face and told the truth.

"I agree with this very much! So you can't buy a lifetime license of 10 billion dollars, you can't lose money, you can't buy it!"

Tim Cook: "......"

"Time is really precious, Mr. Cook, just a little bit, after today, no one will want to buy it in the future, time will not wait for me, there are several to talk about today, let's be considerate of each other!"

Tang Pudding said earnestly and persuasively.

"So, 10 billion is a lifetime license? unconditional lifetime use, and it doesn't restrict our R&D personnel to optimize and modify it, and it doesn't limit us to use it on other devices other than mobile phones after modification and optimization?"

Probably determined that it would never be possible to get an exclusive license, Tim Cook simply gave up his extravagant hopes.

Even if the closed ecosystem is broken, Tim Cook believes that Apple will not be crossed.

At most, everyone is on the same starting line!

Tim Cook believes that with Apple's well-known strict quality control and more intimate after-sales service in the future, it can also occupy a place.

Perhaps this is the starting point for Apple's rebirth.

At this moment, Tim Cook's heart ignited a high fighting spirit.

"OF COURSE! NOW THAT THE LIFETIME LICENSE HAS BEEN SOLD TO APPLE, YOU CAN USE THE SYSTEM AS YOU LIKE, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS! YOU CAN CHANGE THE SYSTEM INTO A FLOWER, AND YOU CAN USE IT! IPAD AND LAPTOP CAN BE USED. But I have to mention that the HarmonyOS 100 is the best to use on mobile phones. ”

"Okay, then I agree with Mr. Tang's offer. However, according to the technical report I got, if we want to modify the Hongmeng 100, we need Taiji Language, so Taiji Language and Breaking Boundaries are also packaged together with a permanent license?"

Tim Cook asked.

"Plus, do you remember what I said at the press conference? Compared to the Tai Chi language, the HarmonyOS 100 is rubbish...... A perpetual license of garbage can be sold for 10 billion, how much do you guess Tai Chi language will sell?"

Tang Pudding said with a smile.

Tim Cook: "How much do you want to sell?!"

"Haha, you guessed it right, it's free! Yes! I bought a lifetime license for Hongmeng 100, and I came with the full version of Tai Chi language for free in addition to the database, and I also came with a full tutorial! That's a perk for developers. ”

Don Pudding felt like he must have surprised Tim Cook.

About Tai Chi Language ......

Hehe......

Now is not the time to make money.

When the whole world can't live without the Tai Chi language, that's when the real money is made.

Now he's not in a hurry, not at all.

"Okay, so will we sign the contract now?"

After a moment of silence and a few words with the executives around him, Tim Cook made a decision.

He didn't want to talk more nonsense to the young man in front of him.

It makes no sense at all.

"Of course. ”

"By the way, we will not accept any restrictive content in the contract that we will not be able to hold product launches after September 13 until the end of the year. Tim Cook said very seriously.

"Haha, Mr. Cook is so good at joking, do you think I'm the one who needs to rely on contracts to limit that this kind of thing won't really happen? But as the first guest of the day, I'll give you a free reminder, Apple must not be the first challenger, don't grab the first place in everything. ”
