Chapter 28: Tempting Pie
Zhou Yu sat in an office chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, negotiating cooperation with many network companies, which was a very brain-consuming job.
Cooperation requires both sides to give up some interests, find the greatest common divisor, and achieve the goal of win-win cooperation and common development.
Zhou Yu has sorted out the template for Xinghuo Technology to cooperate with other companies, and there will be companies to seek cooperation in the future, so that professional managers can reach an agreement according to the template, and he finally doesn't have to bother to do this work.
Wang Jian hurriedly pushed open the office door, Zhou Yu saw him, sat up straight like a conditioned reflex, and then he thought that he didn't need to appear in person to discuss cooperation.
"Wang Jian, if you have something to do this time, the cooperation is not handed over to the company's team to negotiate." Zhou Yu said boredly.
"President, the identity of the person who came this time is a bit high, and he is not here to cooperate, he said that he is introducing a person to you to know, and his identity can only be entertained by you in person." Wang Jian smiled bitterly.
"Who! Such a big show. Zhou Yu asked curiously.
"It is Mr. Yang Yuanqing, President of Lenovo Group, he made an appointment with our company through Lenovo Group in advance, and he will arrive at the company immediately, so there should be an urgent matter." Wang Jian introduced.
"The conscience of the United States imperialism is that an assembly plant and real estate company, he has no business intersection with Xinghuo Technology, a technology company, and you must know that when Lenovo was restructured in 2000, the price of intellectual property rights was zero." Zhou Yu thought in his heart.
"Mr. Yang is here! That's really going for me to greet myself. Zhou Yu agreed, not showing any disdain in his heart.
No matter how much he looks down on this comprador capital group that does not dare to admit that it is a Huaxia company in the international community, but in China it is a shell of a national enterprise and a patriotic enterprise.
But it can't be denied that Lenovo has a strong ability in China, that is the boss of the Taishan Club, and the existence of every call.
Zhou Yu can't let the company's development be hindered by avoidable because of his own preferences.
He and Wang Jian immediately waited for Yang Yuanqing's arrival at the gate of Tenglong Mansion.
Two Audi cars were parked at the entrance of the Jackie Chan Building, and Yang Yuanqing, president of Lenovo, took his assistant and got down from the Audi car at the beginning.
Zhou Yu immediately stepped forward, took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Yuanqing, and said politely: "Welcome Mr. Yang to our company in his busy schedule."
"President Zhou is really young and promising, and he has created a huge career at this age.
I came to your company this time to introduce you to a friend. Yang Yuanqing said kindly.
After he finished speaking, he waved to the Audi car behind him, and a person with a European and American face came out of the car, and when he stepped out of the car, he subconsciously covered his nose.
"This is Mr. Dick Costello, the CEO of Twitter, who has come to discuss cooperation with your company on behalf of Twitter." Yang Yuanqing introduced.
"Hello Mr. Costello." Zhou Yu greeted in English.
"President Zhou, on behalf of Twitter, I am here to discuss cooperation with Xinghuo Technology." Dick Costello said eagerly in English.
"It's not a good place to talk, so please come to our office for discussion." Zhou Yu politely invited.
He was extremely cautious in his heart, and it was unusual for Dick Costello to come and negotiate cooperation in person.
You must know that Twitter is enough to rank among the top 10 Internet companies in the world, and it has a similar role to Weibo.
But Weibo only accounts for most of the market in China, while Twitter has almost a monopoly on all markets except China.
Dick Costello, the president, was too strange and eager to come to their small company in person.
Normally, subordinates, such as the president of Asia, should be sent to the company to explore the possibility of cooperation.
In particular, the fleeting movement of Dick Costello when he got out of the car and the polite appearance when communicating with him are too contrasting.
Zhou Yu believed that when he got out of the car, it was his true feelings that were inadvertently revealed.
The weather in Yanjing has been controlled, and the excellent weather has accounted for the majority, not to mention that the weather is very sunny today, and there is no smell in the air, why did Dick Costello cover his nose?
There is only one reason, that is, under strong psychological suggestion, he feels that the air tastes bad, just like some banana people, who think that the air in Europe and the United States is very sweet, and the principle of these two phenomena is the same.
The appearance of him and himself should be disguised by the influence of a huge external force.
The group came to Zhou Yu's office, and Dick Costello asked Zhou Yu some questions about the company's development and simple technology.
Dick Costello said excitedly: "Your company's technology is too advanced, in order to defeat Facebook and monopolize the social Internet field, we decided to introduce the technology of Spark Technology."
In order to find out their purpose, Zhou Yu pretended to be very entangled, and thought for a long time and said: "Twitter can use our company's technology, but it is only artificial intelligence technology and holographic technology.
These two technologies are the core technologies of our company, and we do not trade. ”
Yang Yuanqing said on the side: "President Zhou should not be as sluggish and rigid as some old guys, he should be bolder."
To put it mildly, your company's technology is only a small step ahead, and with the strong strength of the United States, you can crack your technology at any time.
Take advantage of this good time and don't sell the technology at a good price, and there will be no such good opportunities in the future. ”
Zhou Yu tapped lightly on the table with his hand, and on the surface he seemed to be thinking about a problem, but he was actually communicating with Xiaomi in code.
"Xiaomi, investigate the relationship between Yang Yuanqing and Dick Costello, and the capital relationship behind Lenovo and Twitter."
Zhou Yu didn't believe that the two of them had no reason, Yang Yuanqing was not so idle, there must be some kind of relationship behind them.
Dick Costello saw that Zhou Yu was hesitating, and was ready to come up with a killer weapon to impress this greedy imp, anyway, he would vomit twice as much as he paid in the future, and he would leave this stench country quickly.
"I also understand President Zhou's concerns, you can first look at the sincerity of our company."
After he finished speaking, he sent Zhou Yu an electronic document, which was a draft contract written in both Chinese and English.
Zhou Yu looked at the contract, the contract was to the effect that Twitter invested $80 billion to buy the right to use Xinghuo Technology Xianghua except for Huaxia and the holographic bracelet overseas only supports Twitter's agreement.
Just looking at this generous clause, if Zhou Yu hadn't noticed something wrong in advance, he would have the urge to sign a contract.
Twitter does not want technology patents, as long as the right to use and exclusivity, in exchange for up to $80 billion in funds, anyone will be very happy to sign up.
Zhou Yu knocked on the table.
"Xiaomi, review these two contracts."
He looked pleasantly surprised and said, "Do you only need the right to use artificial intelligence?" Don't want our company's patented technology. ”
Dick Costello said solemnly: "In order to occupy the market, we only hope to reach an agreement with your company quickly, and the contract is clear and clear."
Yang Yuanqing glanced at the contract and echoed: "There is no more generous contract than this, President Zhou uses the overseas market that cannot be occupied for the time being, in exchange for huge development funds, this is a very cost-effective deal."
At this moment, the fan of the notebook on the desk suddenly turned according to a certain rhythm, which was Xiaomi's secret message to inform him that she had already checked the task she had just explained.
"This is really a tempting trap, and financial speculative capital is hateful! Compradors are even more hateful! ”
Zhou Yu clearly knew that this was a trap, and sure enough, there was no pie in the sky.
This contract is a sugar-coated cannonball, and he doesn't have the ability to eat the sugar-coated cannonball back, so he simply doesn't touch this sugar-coated cannonball.
