Chapter 071: Concerns about the Huaxia market

Teresa Roy left Apple, but not Boston.

Sith, who got the news, called back as soon as possible and asked Wen Ming and Teresa Roy about the negotiation content.

"Don't worry about him, he's now given up on the idea of getting a stake in Facebook from us."

Wen Ming used an offer that exceeded Teresa Roy to make Teresa Roy give up completely, which made Sith breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've been worrying about your 'resurrection' dinosaur project these days."

Sith said into the phone, "I think that's the one thing you want to accomplish the most, so...... If Theresa Roy is okay here, then Li Jiacheng doesn't need to worry, there is no exchange of interests between us and him. ”

The other three parties to the four-party merger deal are very opinionated on Wen Ming's desire to hold as many Facebook shares as possible, Teresa Roy and Li Jiacheng's opinion is that they want to hold more shares in Facebook, and Facebook's opinion is that they do not want Wen Ming to get a 2.1% stake.

It doesn't seem like 2.1% is much, but Facebook still needs several rounds of funding before going public, and if the number of shareholders increases, as well as the increase in their shares, the impact on Facebook's financing will be very bad.

"Someone from Li Jiacheng has already contacted me and hopes to come and visit our Apple this afternoon."

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Of course, we don't need to pay attention to his opinion at all, because we really don't have any interests with him. Not now, and probably not in the future. ”

The development route that Wenming wants to take at present is based on the development route of Apple's previous life, and of course, it is the development route of Apple in the previous life since the launch of the iPhone4. On this road, it really has nothing to do with Li Jiacheng.

Sith reminded: "I also know this, but you also have to consider a question, that is, Li Jiacheng's attitude, will it affect our products to enter the Chinese market?" ”

No matter what world it is in, the country of China is very ...... in the eyes of many Western people

The Sith's worries were based on what he had learned about Huaxia.

Wen Ming frowned and asked, "You mean, he will use his influence in Huaxia to prevent us from entering the Huaxia market?" ”

Sith replied, "I do have this concern, you know, Facebook has not been able to enter the Chinese market until now. Many people believe that if Facebook can successfully enter the Chinese market, then its registered users will exceed 2 billion, equivalent to one-third of the world's population. ”

There are many reasons why Facebook can't enter the Chinese market.

Wen Ming in his previous life has seen a lot of analysis on the Internet, but he can't tell which one is true and which one is fake.

Thinking that his iphone4 may not be able to be sold in the Chinese market in the future, Wen Ming's heart is a pain in his heart, Apple has lost the Chinese market, can the market value still exceed 500 billion US dollars?

Even if Steve Jobs is reborn, it is impossible to make Apple the most valuable brand in the world without the Chinese market.

"But I'm also from Huaxia?"

Although Wen Ming is worried, he does not think that what happened to Facebook will happen to Apple.

"If I can show enough economic and technical strength, I believe that Huaxia will never refuse me to join. You know, if we open a branch in China, based on my estimate of the sales of Apple products, it will definitely provide them with a lot of taxes. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Ming thought of more.

"And, according to my estimates, our company will be able to create at least hundreds of thousands of jobs for Huaxia, and there are many other benefits."

In the previous life of Apple, all the hardware was assembled and produced in China, and there were many parts and components provided by Chinese hardware suppliers. In this world, Wen Ming also prefers to assemble in Huaxia.

Many people, including many Chinese people, underestimate the technological strength of their country. If the technology is not up to par, why would Apple, which is so high, choose Huaxia's parts supplier?

Of course, the price is the main reason for this, but if the price is not good, just the price, will Apple really be willing to accept it?

And these hardware suppliers, as well as assembly plants, are able to provide jobs, provide tax revenues, and so on.

After listening to Wen Ming's words, Sith smiled bitterly and said: "What you said is based on a premise, that is, the products launched by our company can really be welcomed by the market. We won't discuss this issue for the time being, I just want to say that if we encounter resistance from Huaxia at the beginning of the release of the product, then how do you prove yourself in the Huaxia market? ”

After success, you can let others see your value, but when you are not successful, what you need is the recognition and help of others. If no one recognizes it, no one helps it, the road to success is definitely harder.

This is a question that is difficult to address from beginning to end.

After Wen Mingleng for a while, he said, "I understand your worries, and I will think about it carefully when the people from Li Jiacheng come over in the afternoon." ”

Sith smiled helplessly and said, "Perhaps, these problems are all unfounded for us, and Li Jiacheng will not use the means we are worried about at all." ”

Wen Ming certainly hopes that the situation will be as Sith said, and the other party will not use those messy methods at all because a business cooperation is not enjoyable.

But the initiative is in the hands of others.

Hung up the phone, Wen Ming smiled bitterly.

"This feeling of not having the initiative is really bad."

Even though Wen Ming has technical knowledge of consumer products that is ahead of the times, and can create incredible wealth with this technical knowledge, he is really just a small person when he has not created incredible wealth.

The world is so big, and with a billion dollars is nothing.

After thinking about it for a noon, Wen Ming had not yet seen Li Jiacheng's people when he received a call from Teresa Roy.

During the morning negotiations, Teresa Roy was taken aback by Wen Ming's offer, not Facebook's offer, of course, but Apple's offer.

So, Teresa Roy suspended the morning's negotiations, citing that he needed a break because he was old.

In this regard, Wen Ming knew very well that Teresa Roy needed to go back and think about it and ask for the opinions of relevant professionals.

"How's it going, how are you doing?"

After receiving the call, Wen Ming asked with concern, the other party was indeed very old, and his physical condition was not very good.

Teresa Roy said a few polite words and went straight to the point.

"I need to see the phone you're talking about, and I need you to prove to me that you can really reinvent the phone!"

There was no discussion of Wen Ming's previous offer, because that offer was incredible, and of course, this incredibleness was for Teresa Roy.

For Wen Ming, his previous offer was really benevolent enough.

"No problem, in a week, you'll be able to see my engineering prototype."
