Cook's offer was tempting, and his aim was to ensure Apple's absolute leadership in battery technology. In two years, Apple can regain its favorable position in the market with the advantage of carbon crystal batteries.

Zhang Yi and Dai Yanfei looked at Chen Nuo nervously, not knowing if Chen Nuo would accept Cook's proposal.

"Mr. Cook, I can see that Apple is quite sincere to carbon crystal batteries, and Bluestar Technology is also willing to share carbon crystal batteries with everyone, so that more people can enjoy the convenience brought by carbon crystal batteries to life."

Cook's eyes floated a little, and he borrowed drinking tea to demonstrate the tension in his heart.

"However, Mr. Cook asked for carbon crystal batteries only for Apple, this condition is a bit excessive, Bluestar Technology has just signed a cooperation agreement with Huawei and Xiaomi, it is impossible for them to break the contract as soon as they leave my side, right?"

Cook hated it so much, Chen Nuo met with Huawei, Xiaomi, and then Apple, isn't it obvious that Apple is the last.

But carbon crystal battery, Cook is determined to win, if Apple mobile phones can not use carbon crystal batteries, then it must be Apple to be eliminated by the market.

Cook made up his mind and said, "If Mr. Chen doesn't think the price is right, we can continue to talk." ”

What Cook hopes most is for Chen Nuo to make a counteroffer, which proves that there is a possibility of cooperation, and if he does not bargain, there is definitely no hope of cooperation.

Chen Nuo said this, his throat was a little dry, and he took two sips of tea: "Now the output of Bluestar Technology is limited, and it is unlikely that it will be completely supplied to Apple's mobile phone battery, and the carbon crystal battery is still blank in the law of the United States, even if we sign a cooperation agreement now, the battery of Apple's mobile phone may not be able to be immediately equipped with carbon crystal batteries for sale." ”

Chen Nuo also has his truth in saying this, he is not worried at all about the listing of Huaguo's carbon crystal battery, Uncle Yu and Rebus go to run, and Bluestar Technology does not have to bother.

But the United States is different, foreign technology into the domestic market for normal sales requires cumbersome approval procedures, and carbon crystal batteries can be used in Apple mobile phones do not know the year of the monkey.

"This ......" Cook obviously didn't take this into account because he was full of it, he hesitated for a while and said: "The technology of carbon crystal batteries is theoretically fully in line with the safety standards of the United States, although this will take time, but it is not very difficult." As for the lack of production......"

Cook hadn't really thought about it, but his people had already inquired about the location and size of the carbon cell factory. The scale is obviously not large, and whether it can meet Apple's needs is really a big question.

Cook breathed a sigh of relief if the carbon crystal battery could not meet the needs of all flagship phones on the market. Then there is still a market for lithium batteries, and Apple is also competitive, and there is still some time to buy.

But what comes out of the mouth of a businessman, whether that sentence is true or false, can only be tested with time and the market, and Cook cannot afford to take this risk.

Chen Nuo paused and said, "I have a cooperation proposal then, I wonder if Mr. Cook is interested?" ”

"Mr. Chen, please speak!"

"Apple can invest in the production of carbon crystal batteries, and your company has the right of first refusal to invest in the production of carbon crystal batteries. However, the condition is that Apple pays the sincerity of 2 billion meters first, the carbon crystal cell assembly plant must be established in the United States, and the sales of carbon crystal batteries in the United States and Europe must be licensed. The construction of the site and the factory is all undertaken by Apple, and after the factory is built, Apple shall not interfere with the production of the carbon crystal factory. ”

Before Cook could speak, the assistant beside him couldn't help but complain, "What does Mr. Chen mean is that my company now needs to pay a sincere payment of 2 billion meters?" Buying land in the United States to invest in the construction of factories only has the priority right to use carbon crystal batteries? ”

Chen Nuo shrugged, "That's what I mean, I especially want to cooperate with Apple, but the output can't keep up." Isn't building a factory in the United States more in line with your company's needs? If our cooperation does not go well after one year, the sincerity money will be returned in full. ”

The assistant is ready to scold, which is equivalent to an interest-free loan of 2 billion meters to Bluestar Technology!

But Cook was moved, if this cooperation was made, the initiative would be in the hands of Apple. When the procedures on the side of the United States will be passed, and when the factory can be built, Apple will be able to obtain the right to use the carbon crystal battery.

Chen Nuo is also making a small calculation in his heart, if Huaguo Company is allowed to pry open the market of Mi, not to mention the difficulties, it will cause a commotion at that time.

At the beginning, Huawei's attempt to open the rice market was unsuccessful, and it was also involved in a lawsuit. Chen Nuo didn't dare to say how much Bluestar Technology is now better than Huawei.

But if you add Apple's investment and cooperation, the effect may be very different.

The door to the rice market is not for Apple to use carbon crystal batteries, but for more products of Bluestar Technology to enter the market of the United States and Europe in the future. Moreover, the function of the carbon crystal production workshop in the United States is only assembly, and there will be no production of carbon crystal and C14. However, when it will be assembled and how much it will be assembled, it is still up to Bluestar Technology to decide.

Cook may get the carbon crystal battery to get the marketing license in the United States in a month, but Chen Nuo may not start installing the assembly equipment until a year later. This time difference is enough for Huawei and Xiaomi to widen the gap with Apple. As for who is the winner after this mobile phone battery revolution, it will be up to the market and consumers to choose.

Chen Nuo is not unpatriotic, but blindly supporting Huaguo companies that have no innovation ability and crisis response ability is not in line with the fundamental principle of the development of things. Besides, Bluestar Technology is a commercial company, and its purpose is to make a profit.

Samsung can sell its batteries, chips and memory to any mobile phone manufacturer in the world to maximize profits without fear of competition, and Bluestar Technology is no different.

Cook immediately made a decision and said: "Apple fully agrees with Bluestar Technology's cooperation proposal, Mr. Chen, I have to admit that you are a shrewd businessman!" I hope that Bluestar Technology can abide by the commitments of both parties and open the production chain of the United States as soon as possible. ”

Cook also made a hard bet, it is better to delay getting a carbon crystal battery than nothing!

Chen Nuo stood up and stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation!" ”

"Happy working together!"

Cook happily walked away with a full verbal check, whether the check can be cashed depends on Apple's ability to follow the cumbersome rules of the United States, so that the carbon crystal battery can wait for the recognition of the United States market.

Here, Huawei is no longer allowed to report carbon crystal batteries for filing for safety inspection and registration.

On December 16, Huawei released the first batch of 10,000 units equipped with carbon crystal batteries MATE10 high-end version, the specific model number is MATE10L, and L stands for the carbon crystal battery certified by Bluestar Technology.

The starting price of MATE10L (6GB+128GB) is 6000RMB, which is the first batch of mobile phones with carbon crystal batteries on the market in the world, which is also the time to test the market recognition of carbon crystal batteries.
