"Why?" This was Chen Wenhao's first reaction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the perspective of business interests, Chen felt that Apple had no reason to refuse his request. Any move made by a commercial company is traceable, and the key word is only two words: profit! This is a completely different concept from the choice of interaction between people.

In the interaction between people, it often happens that someone is particularly unpleasant or particularly in love, even if the other party has not intersected with themselves, this psychological impression will greatly affect the strategy in the process of communication. For example, for people who are particularly unpleasant, if they have a certain amount of energy, they will keep all the good opportunities away from that person, and specially arrange that person to do thankless things, commonly known as "wearing small shoes".

And for those who feel particularly close to each other, that is another choice, let the other party do the most brilliant work, and don't forget to bring it when reporting the merit. There is a saying that "Maxima met Bole".

However, commercial companies are different, the personal emotions and likes and dislikes of managers are insignificant, and only profit is the only principle. Things that can bring benefits are rushing; Things that will lose benefits should be avoided. How could such an unwise decision be made by a large company with a market capitalization of more than $500 billion and the top of the global list of Internet companies.

The mobile phone side of the small card translation software has no conflict with Apple's existing business, and the little misunderstanding in the early stage, Chen Wenhao believes that he has explained it very clearly in the email. What's more, there are well-known personalities like Xiaozha who coordinate in the play. However, Apple finally chose to refuse, isn't it worried about pushing itself into the arms of the Android camp completely? Aren't you worried about the relationship with Facebook getting cold? You know, Facebook also has an interest in the small card software.

All kinds of thoughts were running at high speed in his head, and after Chen Wenhao was stunned for a short time, he asked, "Does the other party have a reason for refusal?" ”

Xiao Zha's voice was a little confused, "I called Tim directly and mentioned this matter, and his reaction was very strange, saying that it was not possible to interfere with the working principles of subordinate departments at will. Of course, we all know this is just an excuse, but during the conversation, Tim was very familiar with your company and the card translation software. ”

Chen Wenhao didn't answer, he could hear that Xiao Zha's words were still in the future.

Xiao Za's voice continued to come out of the microphone, "Tim said that if your company is willing to accept Apple's investment, there are many things that can be discussed. ”

Chen Wenhao couldn't help but sneer, "What is he thinking?!" Have you decided that the small card software must be launched on the Apple App Market? Who gave him so much confidence! ”

Xiao Zha hesitated, "This is also what confuses me. You know, I'm very familiar with Tim, he's a very wise and well-rounded leader. Such a decision is not like his style. ”

"Mark, what do you think is the reason for him doing this?"

"There is no doubt that someone on the board has put pressure on him. The question now is, what are you going to do? ”

Chen Wenhao didn't answer this question, he first asked Xiao Zha a question, "What advice do you have for Apple's proposed shareholding?" ”

"Facebook will not transfer a stake in Kamodo." Xiao Zha's answer was firm, "Chen, Xiaoka software is not only an investment for Facebook, but also an important part of Facebook's future territory. ”

Accel, Greylock, and Tencent are expected to make the same choice, although the first two, as professional investment firms, will naturally make timely moves when the market value of the invested company reaches a high point and an exit mechanism (such as listing) is established. However, in terms of the development trend of Kamodo, it is far from the high ground of the company's valuation, and as an excellent cash cow, it is still replenishing its cash flow.

As for Tencent Investment, from the perspective of its previous investment style, it is similar to Facebook, which is different from the timely investment of professional venture capital, and to a greater extent, it is to strengthen and expand the group's business.

Xiao Zha finally reminded, "According to the contract, if any party transfers shares, other shareholders have the right of first refusal. Even if you want to transfer your stake to Apple, take this into account. ”

See, that's normal business thinking. Holding more shares in the Kamodo company will undoubtedly bring greater benefits. At this time, Xiaozha will not care about his personal friendship with Tim, and obviously stated that he will snipe at Apple in a possible equity transfer.

Naturally, Chen Wenhao will not transfer his shares in Kamodo to Apple. He asked Xiaoka to convey his decision to the other party, and his tone might as well be tougher.

ended the call with Xiaozha, and he was still puzzled by Apple's decision.

But it didn't take long for him to decide not to care about so much, maybe it was the other party's momentary brain pumping. Doing your own thing well is the key, and the only thing left is to block the soldiers and cover the water.

In addition, since Apple has given such a response, from a business point of view, it should also do something in response. Small and medium-sized companies may not be able to do anything about such an industry giant, but unfortunately, Infinite Future Company is not.

Before, he also felt that there was no conflict between the mobile terminal of the small card translation software and Apple's product business. Now, perhaps it's time to surprise it.

He closed his eyes, rehearsed the plan he was going to carry out in his mind, made sure that there was no problem with the feasibility, and then consulted Xiaoka's opinion, and finally made up his mind.

"One hour later, in the large conference room on the sixth floor, a meeting of everyone in the marketing department was called." Chen Wenhao dialed Jin Wei's phone.

***

In the large conference room, nearly 20 employees of the marketing department of Kamodo gathered here.

Although this company has been established for less than a month, it is a new company that cannot be renewed, but the newly recruited employees have gone through several rounds of interviews and written examinations, and eliminated several times or even dozens of times the competitors before they became here. No way, who made the background of this company too scary: the boss of social networking sites, two famous venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, and one of the domestic Internet troika are all on the list of shareholders. By the way, there is also the company of the infinite future that developed the small card translation software. Now there is no one in the IT industry who does not know this software, this company, it can be said that with a software to open up a new industry, its significance is no less than the original Microsoft launched the Windows system, destined to be recorded in the history of IT development.

The top seat of the conference table was vacant, and Jin Wei sat on the first place on the left hand side of the vacant seat, watching the subordinates of the department whispering there. He is very satisfied with the newly formed team, and his ability and experience are far beyond the team he has led before.

However, the pressure is also very great, many of the people in it are not worse than him, and even the resume is better than his, he can sit in the position of vice president of the new company, and the first-mover advantage plays a very important role. Therefore, he is even more conscientious in his work and does not dare to relax at all.

This time, the boss of the company suddenly held an emergency meeting of the marketing department, and did not say any topic, which made him a little suspicious of what aspect of the work was not done. Before the meeting, he combed through all the recent work and found no omissions. If there is really any problem, it is likely to be the problem that the Apple App Market cannot be put on the shelves as reported to the boss yesterday.

Is it already done? He felt that with the boss's connections, it should be easy to settle. However, it seems a bit of an exaggeration to have an emergency meeting for this.

While he was thinking about it in his mind, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Chen Wenhao walked in. Everyone immediately stopped talking and sat up straight, and for many new employees, it was the first time to have a meeting with a big boss, so it was natural to make a good impression.
