[Chapter 211: Fierce Negotiation and Confrontation]

Tim. Cook's trip to China, in fact, was forced to be helpless, the barrier of Xiaoyou assistant is not broken, even if the iPhone is a first-class product, it is difficult to win from the competition of other opponents in the market, and it is a last resort to come to Matrix Technology, because this is Apple's only chance.

"What do you get for Matrix Technology?" Ren Hong's speech was neither fast nor slow, calm and calm.

Obviously, Apple has a demand for matrix technology, and it is inevitable that it will be at a disadvantage. Cook knew this and was ready to bleed for a long time, the only thing he couldn't predict was how big the appetite for Matrix Technology really was.

"We have two options in place." Tim. Cook quickly replied, obviously after multiple preparations before coming, Ren Hong, who was sitting down, looked like he was listening quietly, Cook saw this and then said: "The first plan is to save the products of your company's subsidiaries, and promise that your company will not enter the low-end market under the premise that Apple Apple will buy Xiaoyou Assistant as the exclusive use of iOS at a price of 240 billion US dollars, that is to say, Xiaoyou Assistant is only enjoyed by Matrix Technology and Apple." You are in the high-end area, and we are in the low-end area. ”

"Ha~~" Ren Hong showed an indifferent smile on the surface, but he was surprised that the other party really had to make a bloody investment this time, 240 billion US dollars is equal to a transaction, and the money for the next 5 years will be put in his pocket first, it seems that the other party is determined to win.

Ren Hong's brain is like a computer calculating rapidly, comparing the gains and losses of the benefits, but on the surface, he suddenly smiled, he said with a smile: "240 billion US dollars, almost all of Apple's cash reserves, is indeed a sky-high price." But Mr. Cook, do you know how much revenue Xiaoyou Assistant can bring to XlouS-Alpha every year with the help of the Android version of the app, which is $5 a month, and has more than 2 billion users on Android phones? ”

"$240 billion! It is indeed a number that is enough to shock the world, but because of this, I lost 2 billion users as a price......" Ren Hong suddenly frowned, shook his head with an ugly expression, stared at the other party and said: "...... I doubt your sincerity, Mr. Cook. ”

"I know, of course I do." Tim. Cook quickly explained, "Please hear me finish, Mr. Sherus. You may have lost 2 billion Android users, but your intelligent voice assistant can still be profitable on iOS. And 240 billion US dollars is enough to be worth the net profit revenue of xiaoU assistant on Android users for about 5 years, this 240 billion US dollars is equivalent to Apple Apple for the loss of xiaoU assistant in the next 5 years, 3 years later, xiaoU assistant can still continue to make a high amount of profit on iOS, your company can get 240 billion cash net profit revenue in this transaction, yes, net profit! I know that your company is now in the last two years of tax exemption in China, which is equivalent to making xiaoU assistant's profits indirectly tax-free for another three years, except for the relative loss of xiaoU on Android, you can get a relative benefit of about $150 billion in this transaction. ”

Speaking of which, Tim. Cook spread his hands and stared at the other, "What do you think?" ”

Ren Hong didn't answer him immediately, but was pondering, and Cook didn't rush to speak, sitting on the side drinking coffee and waiting quietly.

Tim. Cook's words, Ren Hong knows a little, the other party has done enough homework for this negotiation, from a practical point of view, in a short period of time to obtain 240 billion US dollars of actual net profits, minus future losses to obtain a relative relative benefit of 150 billion US dollars, Apple's sincerity this time is full of sincerity, this is also the price that should be paid as a disadvantage.

"I'd like to hear about the second option." Ren Hong, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said.

Didn't get a reply, Tim. Cook can't help it, so he can only say the second plan first, "The second plan we are preparing is that Apple and Apple will obtain the xiaoU assistant at a price of 80 billion US dollars to authorize the company's smart device products, xiaoU assistant can still make a profit on Android users, for your company to get 80 billion US dollars at the same time to open up the new huge market of iOS, for your company this is also a benefit of killing two birds with one stone, Without prejudice to the original interests, it will gain $80 billion in direct benefits and the entire iOS market. There is no real loss for your company, although the iPhone occupies more of the market, which has led to a decrease in the share of xiaoU assistant in Android users, but at the same time, xiaoU assistant has added new users on iOS, and it is nothing more than changing dollars from left hand to right hand for your company. ”

This second option is also a good profit for Matrix Technology, because there is no loss, at least on the surface. No matter how you look at the two plans, it looks like Apple is sending money to Matrix Technology.

"Okay......" Ren Hong listened to the second plan, only to see that he moved his body and seemed to make himself sit more comfortably, he looked at Tim again. Cook said: "One is money, the other is slow money, but they are all sky-high prices." Both options seem to be of great benefit to Matrix Technology. ”

"Isn't it?" Tim. Cook said with a smile.

"It's not!" Ren Hong responded like this at the moment when his words fell, which made the smiling Cook freeze on the spot.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sherus, I really can't think of such a win-win situation...... Forgive me, can you answer me why? "Tim. Cook couldn't help but ask.

"Win-win?" Ren Hong asked rhetorically, and he slowly shook his head again, "It seems to be a win-win situation, but it's just you and me who actually win?" Matrix Technology? I think that in this transaction, Matrix Technology is just a thug, nothing more. ”

Tim. Cook retorted at the moment: "This is impossible, this deal is definitely not a one-sided winner for Apple, no matter which plan your company has gained unimaginable benefits, isn't it a win-win what?" ”

"Hehe......" Ren Hong smiled, as if talking to himself, "If Matrix Technology is so short-sighted and only cares about the seemingly crazy interests in front of it, it will never achieve the world's remarkable achievements today." ”

Tim. Cook was a little stunned when he heard this, Ren Hong looked at the other party with a kind of discerning eyes, shifted his gaze and continued: "No matter which plan it is, it seems to be beneficial to me, but in fact, it is for me to personally help up an opponent who was defeated by my own hands, have you ever heard of saving your sworn enemy in the mall?" Well? This is a big taboo and one of them......"

"Second, iPhone has entered the low-end market with Xiaoyou Assistant, and the biggest impact is on mobile phone manufacturers in Greater China, because they are currently the dominant players in this market. You should know how many people live in the industrial chain attached to a well-known brand mobile phone manufacturer? The fall of a brand means that the affiliated industrial chain will also collapse, and how many people will lose their jobs? iPhone condescends to the low-end area and carries Xiaoyou assistant at the same time, no one is your opponent. The particularity of Greater China has created millions of unemployed people not only in Europe and the United States, but tens of millions, and then hundreds of millions of people affected by families. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Hong stopped, and then said: "I am respected by the whole world and hated by the whole world, love and hate, hehe, it's enough, I hope that Greater China only loves me, just hate it." ”

"It's not fair!" Tim. Cook said suddenly.

These words made Ren Hong stunned for a moment, he never thought that such a naïve word would be taken from Tim. Cook's mouth spoke.

"I'm sorry!" Tim. Cook also realized his embarrassing words.

"Actually, you're wrong, Cook. We all know that the winner is never clean in the true sense, and the rise of Apple has also stepped on the bones of many people to reach the top of glory, put these aside. In fact, I'm also thinking about the people of the world. ”

The last sentence is simply the most ridiculous lie.

Tim. When Cook heard this, he sneered in his heart.

Ren Hong didn't care whether the other party believed it or not, and said to himself: "It is precisely because of this that I am willing to fight with an opponent who was originally mine, but I have been here with him for a long time." Because I don't want Apple to fall completely like Nokia, I don't want to, you don't want to, the United States doesn't want to, and the industrial chain attached to Apple and the thousands of people attached to it don't want to. Yes, neither. But today, only I have the final say on whether Apple will fall or not! ”

Ren Hong's words are undoubtedly arrogant, especially to Tim. Cook is even more arrogant when he says this, and if the world knows it, it will definitely be the most arrogant sentence of the year. But the other party did not refute, for Cook, this is a humiliation, helplessness, and a cruel truth, otherwise there would be no meeting today.

"Of course, I don't think I'm a savior, I don't want Apple to fall because it's not a good thing for Matrix Technology to fall, simply put, falling means that my company's major products will be less consumed by many people, and that's why you said it! Mr. Cook. ”

Ren Hong ended his words and looked at each other quietly, Cook smiled reluctantly, but smiled a little miserably, "That's why Apple can't fall?" Just living in disgrace for others? ”

"At least alive! Nokia and Motorola are all dead, Mr. Cook, is it good to be alive? Ren Hong, who was sitting in a forbidden position, looked at him with open hands, and the demeanor of a strong man was fully revealed.

Tim. Cook was speechless for a while, for a long time, the two sides of the negotiation confrontation until now, who wins and who loses has had a result, for Apple Apple to do his best Tim. Cook was finally defeated.

"Since neither option works, what do you think?"

This sentence is equivalent to telling Ren Hong that he won this confrontation because the other party is equivalent to giving up the dominance.
