"Cook, you don't have to think about lowering the licensing fee......" Zhong Zixing said very directly, and there was no room for relaxation.

"If you reduce the licensing fee for Apple today, all partners will come to your door tomorrow, and our neutron star's technology is not a cabbage."

"Could it be that after Apple's mobile phone is launched, users are still allowed to bargain?"

There has always been only the reason to take the initiative to reduce prices, and how can Apple in offline direct sales stores accept price bargaining.

"No, you misunderstood what I meant." Cook shook his head and retorted: "Samsung's flagship phone only started to explode with the help of Andromeda's assistant, and without Andromeda, their phone would be nothing but configuration, and its competitiveness would be far less than Apple's." ”

"If we Apple put the Andromeda assistant on our mobile phones, hundreds of millions of huge user groups will make the Andromeda smart assistant all over the world in an instant."

"This is a win-win cooperation, not to enhance competitiveness with the help of Andromeda's intelligence like Samsung, so it is natural to reduce the licensing fee a little, what do you think?"

Running it directly on your phone instead of downloading it from the Apple Store means that all users will be able to use Andromeda for the first time, which is indeed a very tempting collaboration.

The two refused to back down on this point of view, and a heated debate ensued.

Cook has been grasping the benefits that Neutron Star Technology can obtain, and selectively ignoring the benefits that he can get, so that the negotiations have been deadlocked.

Zhong Zixing was unmoved by words, he was fearless, showing the arrogance that you have nowhere to buy without me.

"Cook, now it's Apple who comes to ask for cooperation, not our neutron star who takes the initiative to find you, do you understand the difference?"

"Andromeda can now decide whether you Apple can pull back the stock price and regain the trust of users! And do you think Apple's tech department can bring Siri to the level of Andromeda? Stop dreaming. ”

"As long as we don't cooperate with Apple, maybe Apple can survive on its popularity in the past two years, but have you ever thought about what will happen in a few years? Losing the mobile phone market like Nokia? ”

"This ......"

Cook was speechless by Zhong Zixing's refutation, he knew that what Zhong Zixing said was all the truth.

As long as the technology of artificial intelligence becomes more and more powerful, it will account for more and more weight in people's lives, and as long as Siri's intelligence level cannot surpass Andromeda, then Apple will be eliminated in a few years because intelligent technology cannot catch up.

Apple's intelligence department can't figure out why Andromeda surpasses Siri so much now. Algorithms, programs, data? What is lacking, or is it simply not enough?

If you want Siri to reach the same level as Andromeda, let alone ten or twenty years, it will be enough.

Will Neutron Star Technology give Siri a chance to develop for so many years? Inexistent.

The operating system is important, and the chip is even more important, but the operating system and chips alone will no longer work in the new era, and they can't guarantee that a new operating system will come out during the technology upgrade, and there is no guarantee that users will be able to use Apple all the time without Andromeda.

At that time, perhaps Apple, which is now high-end, will become a low-end mobile phone because technology cannot make up for it and sell it to Africa.

Seeing that Cook didn't speak, Zhong Zixing said again: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the licensing fee is reduced or not, Cook, Apple can completely pass on the licensing fee to the user and get the loss back from the user?" ”

"As long as you raise the price of the mobile phone, anyway, Apple is facing high-end users, treating the mobile phone as a luxury auction, and I believe everyone will accept the price increase."

At first, Apple was very cheap, but as more and more users and the competition for smartphones became more and more fierce, Apple's price began to rise slowly, gradually becoming a representative of high-end mobile phones, and giving up the low-end market completely.

That's why, they can take more than 80% of the profits of the mobile phone market.

Anyway, the price will be raised, and it will be better to take out part of the money earned by users and give it to Neutron Star.

"I don't really believe that you, as a technician, would convince me to ...... in business negotiations," Cook was a little helpless.

In the past month, Apple's stock price has not moved, and there has been a slight decline, you must know that the year before last year, as long as after the autumn conference, Apple's rise is jumping up, one of the best in technology stocks.

"Passed the prize......"

Zhong Zixing's face was modest, but he actually sweated in his heart.

After two years of training, his experience in negotiation has indeed come up, but it is still insufficient compared to a decades-old player like Cook.

If he hadn't known that Apple had no choice, he would have asked Li Ying from the Ministry of Commerce not to have anything to do with Apple's escorts for the time being, and come over to help him, who would be so fearless.

That's the technical advantage...... Like the BOE boss who went to negotiate with the foot basin chicken a few years ago, even if he was wronged, he could only swallow it.

However, if this cooperation can be successful, it means that Neutron Star will lie on Apple's head to suck blood, and mobile phones account for more than 70% of their annual revenue calculated in hundreds of billions of dollars, and 10% of this 70% of revenue will be given to Neutron Star Technology!

As long as it is next year, the revenue of the information technology department of Neutron Star will grow explosively, which is enough to support the early R&D investment of major departments.

In addition, the hair follicle wake-up hormone of the Department of Code of Life has also begun to be marketed in the global market along with the hair growth agent produced by domestic pharmaceutical giants.

The revenue of these two major departments is enough to set up several departments that spend a lot of money, such as the micro integration department and the extreme precision department, and can also accelerate the progress of the research and development of new materials in the material origin department.

When the headquarters is completely completed, all nine departments can be on the right track!

......

The legal staff of both parties carefully reviewed each clause and confirmed that it was correct, and the contract was signed.

There are four copies, each with several pages, two in Chinese and two in English, each divided into half.

After signing the agreement, Cook did not linger and got on a plane with his escort and returned directly to the United States.

He came with a mission and didn't have time to stay long.

A few days later, Apple invited major news outlets to hold a press conference to officially announce its partnership with Neutron Star Technology.

Apple has licensed the Andromeda Smart Assistant, which will be re-launched on the iPhone 4 in the next two months, and will help all users who have already purchased it to do an update.

When Jobs, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw the news, he was angry and was about to be discharged from the hospital on the spot, when did Apple sign this kind of clause? Even if it is a dispute with those patent giants, it is a lump sum payment after losing the lawsuit.

It's a pity that Apple's intricate stake and interest-only board of directors simply don't bother to care about him.

Because the day after the press conference, Apple's stock price began to rise.
