[Chapter 212: Every Inch of Land Must Be Contested]
The victory in the first round does not mean the final victory, from the meeting to the meeting to the negotiation and then to the transactional negotiation, for Ren Hong, he did not have the slightest preparation, but because of this, it can reflect his strong adaptability.
Tim. Cook compromised and said the last sentence, but Ren Hong didn't answer him immediately, he was pondering, and in fact, at this moment, Ren Hong was browsing a series of data information, and the window displayed on his right eye vision listed the information he wanted, but Cook who was sitting opposite him didn't know what Ren Hong was doing at the moment, or only knew that he was pondering.
That's where the S-2 comes in.
Ren Hong once said to himself, and also promised his subordinates, that there are only two ends for the opponents of Matrix Technology: either transform or go out of business.
Today's Apple Inc., as the most direct competitor of Matrix Technology, has finally failed in the high-end area, and it is inevitable that it will not want to fall and transform. But even if they want to transform, they must break through a barrier set up by Matrix Technology for them - Xiaoyou Assistant.
This is the price of wanting to "live".
The scene was silent for a long time, and no one spoke. Cook was anxious, but he was very patient.
Finally, he saw Ren Hongshen move, and his wandering and thoughtful gaze was retracted, and he looked at the other party.
"My request." Ren Hong said: "Matrix Technology will share 50% of Apple's total annual revenue in the low-end area, to be exact, all Apple's products, as long as it involves Xiaoyou Assistant, Matrix Technology will get 50% of the revenue, in short, it is to share the revenue with Apple." ”
"It can't be!" Tim. Cook stood up excitedly on the spot when he heard such conditions, which was simply a blatant robbery.
"This is tantamount to making Apple work for Matrix Technology in disguise, and such excessive requirements are really rude." Tim. Cook couldn't help it, the lion's big mouth was no longer enough to describe.
"But that's the only way it's in Matrix Technology's interest, Mr. Cook." Ren Hong raised his voice and suppressed the other party's voice, he didn't feel how rude his request was, under the other party's slightly excited look, he said indifferently: "You have to be clear, once I give you Xiaoyou's assistant, the sales of my company's 'S-1' equipment will also be greatly impacted, in a comprehensive series of factors, I don't want to clarify one by one, I only tell you the result, that is, matrix technology actually did not gain any benefits, and how to talk about a win-win situation?" ”
But in fact, 'S-1' has already been listed as discontinued, and of course he will not tell Cook about this, and the discontinuation of 'S-1' is to better sell 'S-2', and the difference in revenue between the two is huge, and this decision is inevitable.
"And ......," Ren Hong added again, "Apple products do not enter Greater China as a premise. ”
Could such a request be a so-called win-win situation? Apple is a complete loser!! "Tim. Cook stared at him intently.
"It's up to you to think about it, Mr. Cook." Ren Hong responded calmly and said: "Maybe it is necessary for me to say that Apple at this moment is to survive, which is your consideration and fundamental reason." And I, Matrix Technology, is thinking about how to actually benefit from this transaction. ”
Speaking of Ren Hong here, the eyes of the two sides suddenly met each other, Ren Hong stared at each other, and said slowly word by word: "Now it's Apple asking for help from XlouS, Tim...... Cook! ”
The battle of interests, no one will be subtle, every inch must be contested, this is the shopping mall.
It is worth mentioning that the additional requirements put forward by Ren Hong are obviously to protect domestic low-end brands, but this is definitely not purely protection for the sake of protection. Matrix Technology has now become a huge business empire, and its social responsibility is not comparable to that of other companies, but while assuming social responsibility, the benefits should also go hand in hand with it.
Cooperate with Apple for its own interests, not to let him enter the Greater China region is also for their own interests, Greater China will be a safe haven for those low-end brands in China, to ensure that the affiliated industrial chain can be maintained, so as to indirectly maintain social stability, which is the social responsibility of Matrix Technology.
Matrix Technology has lost some of its vested interests, but it has gained fame, which is clearly more important than actual money to today's business empire. Ren Hong has always insisted on one point, Greater China is the absolute position of Matrix Technology, and it is also the premise that he is enough to compete with the world, which is in the interests of Matrix Technology.
As for the competition of domestic low-end brands in the international market, it is not up to him to control whether they are dead or alive.
Tim. Cook felt haggard, and sat down again weakly, unable to talk for a while, but saw Ren Hong speak again, "Although Apple has given up the Greater China market, it is sitting on a broader international market, I believe you also know that India's huge market of more than 1.1 billion people is now gradually bursting out of its potential energy, today's India is like China twenty years ago, and today's India is also a market with infinite imagination in the next five to fifteen years, not only India, Third world countries in the world are Apple's potential markets, and Apple has gained the entire international market without removing one Greater China, isn't it? ”
"But 50%...... This is absolutely unacceptable. "Tim. Cook still insisted.
Ren Hong shrugged indifferently and said: "Less than 50%, I can't accept it, there is always one side to choose to compromise between the two, but that person is definitely not Matrix Technology, definitely not!" ”
A word for Tim. Cook was speechless and froze on the spot. And at this not too formal negotiation table, there were also Cook's assistant and Ding Yang who were also present, the two sides were in stark contrast, Cook's assistant only had despair in his heart when he heard such a sentence, has the once so brilliant Apple Apple reached this kind of situation under the fence? Ding Yang, who was born in the military, has a completely different feeling, soldiers are all advocating the strong, no matter what form it takes, Ren Hong has shown the posture that a strong man should have, but a conversation made him inexplicably agitated.
Ren Hong's sentence is undoubtedly the final showdown of Matrix Technology, and now only Apple's statement is left, and there are only two results: compromise or refusal. There are also two other outcomes: alive or fallen.
"I need to talk to the board, I can't call the shots." Tim. Cook replied bitterly after coming back to his senses, the other party's words were extremely clear, and he didn't fight for anything anymore, because it didn't make sense.
"No problem!" Ren Hong chuckled and reminded again, "But there are only three days at most, and I will reply in three days at the latest, if there is no reply after three days, this cooperation will end in failure." ”
Tim. Cook nodded slowly, and after a moment, he stood up again, and said with emotion when he faced Ren Hong: "Aside from the identities of both parties, Mr. Sherus, just as an entrepreneur, you are the most far-sighted and thoughtful and thoughtful I have ever seen...... One of the entrepreneurs who never wants to suffer even a little loss. ”
Ended up with Tim. Cook's meeting, and good news came from the "Stygian Axe Base" excavation site.
