Chapter 13: Strategic Cooperation
Chapter 13: Strategic Cooperation
It takes time to draw up a contract, and Xiao Za and Ren Hong are chatting during this time.
"Ren! I'm curious about your positioning of XlouS, can you tell us about it? Zuckerberg said casually that in fact, the two sides are about to become strategic partners, and he also wants to know more about each other.
"My positioning of XlouS is a high-tech company, committed to changing the world, the core of the company is innovative technology, technology is the survival of XlouS, XlouS's products are not born of breakthrough technology, and there will be no new product launch." Ren Hong thought for a while and said, his eyes were full of infinite confidence.
"Wow!" Zuckerberg was visibly surprised by the other party's confident words, "XlouS is bound to become a great tech giant." ”
Ren Hong smiled when he heard this, and said, "Yes! XlouS and Facebook are both great companies that have changed the world! ”
The two sides talked, looked at each other and laughed, although the difference between the two was 13 years old, but as if there was no barrier, if this scene was transmitted to the outside world, it would definitely shock countless people, such a young Chinese, actually talking and laughing with contemporary social network giants, I am afraid that the entire people will look sideways.
You must know that few people in the world know the name Ren Hong, but Zuckerberg is remembered by hundreds of millions of people, and the difference between the two is too great.
But that's also in the past, starting today, I believe everyone present is extremely sure that once Facebook holds a press conference, Ren Hong and the technology company called XlouS will officially enter the global vision.
"Years ago, Gates dropped out of school and started a business with his friends, and then there was the Microsoft Empire; Steve Jobs stumbled into his first business in his garage, which eventually led to today's Apple; Because of fun, Facebook was inadvertently born in a school dorm room, and then got to where it is today. Speaking of this, Xiao Za was slightly shy, smiled, and continued: "And today, XlouS was born in a school classroom" Xiao Za looked at Ren Hong with a smile and said: "According to the past irresponsible experience examples, XlouS will definitely become a new great technology giant company!" The first product was so good! ”
"Thank you!" In the face of Zuckerberg's praise, Ren Hong's smile seemed relatively calm, but his heart was extremely heroic, and he always firmly believed that XlouS would become a real high-tech giant company, for which he would be full of passion and combat effectiveness.
"That's right! Zach, do you really think VR is the future? Ren Hong said suddenly.
"This is a globally recognized fact, and even though the technology is not yet mature, we all believe that this is the trend!" Zuckerberg nodded and said, and after a moment, he asked curiously, "What?" Are you also interested in playing VR? ”
Ren Hong shook his head and said, "No! I'm not going to be a VR player. Because I think the future trend is definitely not VR, it's just a transitional product, and VR is a pseudo-virtual reality product. ”
"It's a pseudonym, but at least it's virtual reality. Really not going to play? At present, basically all technology companies have joined this field and become one of the players, and XlouS, as a new technology giant in the future, is really a bit unreasonable not to play. Xiao Za smiled, although it was in a ridiculous tone, but it was a side reflection of how fierce the competition in this field was.
"I prefer artificial intelligence to VR." Ren Hong said with a smile.
"It's so hard, even though everyone is playing it, but obviously VR is easier to play first." Zuckerberg said.
At this time, the contract had already been drawn up and sent to the two of them.
Ren Hong quickly browsed it by himself and looked at the senior, "No problem?" ”
After getting the other party's affirmation, Ren Hong signed it, and Zuckerberg did the same, and then exchanged contracts and signed them again. The seniors on the side were excited and watched the birth of this great moment with their own eyes.
After the contract between the two parties was signed, the two stood up almost at the same time and shook hands again. Zuckerberg laughs: "I'm looking forward to the rise of a new tech giant called 'XlouS.'" ”
"Me too!" Ren Hong said with a smile.
After Zuckerberg got the contract, the stone in his heart finally fell, although he paid a price of 12 billion US dollars, no matter how you look at it, Facebook suffered, and XlouS took a big advantage, but this is the case, the two sides signed a contract and reached a strategic partnership. And Zuckerberg is willing to promote his products almost for free, while paying $12 billion for exclusive licenses.
Regardless of the process, both sides got the results they wanted, and it was a win-win situation.
When both parties walked towards the exit of the Starbucks gate with satisfactory results, the noisy sound at the door had already come into their ears, for such a scene, Zuckerberg was used to it, Xiao Za suddenly turned his head sideways and smiled at Ren Hong: "A little suggestion, you need to bring a bodyguard next time you go out, as for now, I will not lend you a bodyguard, just as you slaughtered me with $12 billion!! ”
"The more punishments like this, the better, ha~" Ren Hong responded with a smile.
"What a greedy guy, still so young." Zuckerberg smirked.
"Talk like you're old!" Ren Hong responded dissatisfied, but his face was smiling.
While the two sides were smiling and talking, the Starbucks door finally opened, and flashes of lights kept flashing on the faces of both parties, and this scene happened to be captured by outside reporters.
In an instant, the reporters waiting outside the door suddenly flocked to him, and Ren Hong felt the madness of those reporters on TV, it was indeed crazy.
"Mr. Zuckerberg"
"This gentleman"
The entire entrance seemed to be a downtown area, the lights kept flickering, and the voices of dozens of reporters could not be stopped for a moment.
Xiao Za was surrounded by his tall and mighty bodyguards, and Zuckerberg, who was smiling, calmly left step by step from the group of reporters, and Ren Hong's treatment was more than a grade worse, with more than a dozen or twenty microphones in front of him, surrounded by more than 20 reporters, it was so difficult to take a step.
"This gentleman! What did Mr. Zuckerberg discuss with you? ”
"What is your surname, sir?"
"This gentleman"
Obviously, these reporters knew that there was definitely big news about this young man from the moment they saw Ren Hong and Zuckerberg walking out of Starbucks talking and laughing.
"No comment!"
"No comment!"
The helpless Ren Hong watched Zuckerberg enter the luxury car escorted by bodyguards, he could imagine that when Xiao Za left, the reporters who were still chasing Xiao Za would definitely target him after failing to achieve anything, and now it is almost impossible to move an inch, if there are dozens more, can they get out of Starbucks?
At this time, when the senior sister saw this scene, she spontaneously acted as a bodyguard, although she was alone, but at least she could relieve the pressure.
Ren Hong's mouth was very tight, he would never accept any interviews, and after saying a few words of "no comment", he simply closed his mouth completely, he knew that if he really spoke, he would really not be able to leave. Although it was the first time he had faced such a situation, he had been told by the TV and the experience he had not experienced before that there was nothing wrong with doing so.
Sure enough, after being entangled for a long time, these reporters saw that Ren Hong didn't open his mouth, and finally had to give up, but the camera in his hand never stopped.
