Chapter 105 Signing of the Letter of Intent for Cooperation

This woman is well-known in China, and between 2004 and 2006 she visited China several times to advocate the "Digital Earth" initiative, which is IBM's attempt to digitize all the devices on the planet. AFTER A FEW YEARS OF GRINDING, IN 2009, EVERYONE ALSO SAW THAT THE PLAN WAS A "UTOPIAN" FANTASY, AND IT WAS NOT AS RELIABLE AS GOOGLE'S SATELLITE EARTH.

At that time, Dang Weimin was still watching "Computer Enthusiasts" in middle school, so what he admired was the influence of the article on the five bodies, and almost regarded the senior management of IBM as god-like cows.

The meeting was completely secret, in fact, he had many communications with IBM before he went to the Seattle show. A year ago, a month after he launched the FreeSQL system, the contact began. But this company is also very slippery, and has never made a clear statement, only talking about cooperation, unlike other companies that just buy or something.

So he has a very good feeling about IBM, of course, this is a series of superb public relations tools of IBM, and he has a better grasp of people's hearts than other companies. So that's why IBM is relatively low-key, while Microsoft has a very high media appearance.

In this meeting, only the participants saw that IBM's attention to Cheng Dù was about to get rid of the other two companies, not only the company's top leaders personally went out, but even the future leaders also came, plus several high-level officials. This alone will also make you have a great affection for them.

When I looked at the draft of their letter of intent for cooperation, it proved that IBM had a good grasp of its own psychology. The above cooperation content is:

Pioneer Software will sell OpenWindows installation licenses to IBM, Inc., and the price of each license will be determined in the future when further negotiations are underway. Pioneer Software will guarantee a discount on IBM at a lower price than other partners.

Pioneer Software will provide IBM with its own proprietary 3D table support technology and intelligent search technology, and will give priority to the transfer of technology to IBM in the event of further development in the future.

3. IBM provides the corresponding source code license to Pioneer Software, and provides a series of support such as technology patents and business acceptance when Pioneer Software has legal entanglements with other companies.

Fourth, IBM will invest the first phase of $120 million in Pioneer Software, which is not venture capital and does not occupy a stake in Pioneer Soft Year. In the future, we will regularly inject capital support into Pioneer Software and provide corresponding technical assistance.

5. IBM will support Pioneer Software in developing smartphone operating systems and provide some of its own unique research technologies......

The main points of cooperation are these few, and the others are inconsequential miscellaneous. Although it can be said that IBM has obtained a series of technical standards, it has taken advantage of a relatively large amount. But Pioneer Software is a big deal, so it is leaning on a big tree.

The party knows for the people that their management level is quite average, and only by internationalizing the enterprise as much as possible and hiring a real professional manager can the enterprise be done and strengthened. As for whether IBM will take the opportunity to swallow it in the future, let's wait and see for the time being.

After the signing of the treaty, the two sides held a simple celebration ceremony, and finally what they brought was no longer foreign wine, but the traditional Chinese 57-degree fine Wuliangye. He couldn't help but deeply admire the company's comparative skills, even if their ultimate goal was the same as the other two, but the way they adopted was more acceptable.

"I hope we can further cooperate in the coming days." Sam. Palmisano held his glass and then suddenly said, "If you want to go public in the U.S., we can help."

"Understood, thank you" The party for the people immediately said, vaguely, he didn't want to go public. Let someone else get in and point fingers? Dream on.

After the secret signing ceremony, Dang Weimin declined the other party's further invitation and returned to the hotel where he was staying. At that time, with the other party's enthusiastic posture, it was estimated that they were looking for some women to accompany them.

"Ahh Brother Tang, why don't we play anymore? Wang Xuening leaned on the sofa in the room with a mouth full of wine, and replied with a yawn, "It's only 12 o'clock now, and there will be nothing to do tomorrow." ”

"Are you crushing a foreign girl again?" Dang Weimin took off his coat, hung it on the drying rack, and then took out something that looked like a mobile phone from inside.

"Don't say it, it's really a little tempting, there's a guy with long hair who really looks good, and his skin is pretty good among white people." Wang Xuening recalled the beautiful women who appeared at the drinking party beautifully, and he was indeed a little moved. ,

"What are you doing?" He saw his boss walking back and forth in this suite several times with a mobile phone, and he was very secret. Mr. Tang put his finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, then walked to the side of the TV accessor, reached behind his hand, touched it, and removed a small metal button.

"Jingle" was thrown into the ashtray on the table, and Wang Xuening's eyes widened as he pointed at the thing. Dang Weimin smiled, still motioned for him to be quiet, and then walked into the inner room and began to check.

Ten minutes later, four miniature spy devices, the largest of which were as large as mung beans, were flipped out and thrown into the ashtray. Wang Xuening picked up the jar, went into the bathroom, threw the little bit of rags into the toilet, and twisted the water hose. Several gadgets were swept straight down the drain, and he spat hard into them.

"It's okay to talk now." Dang Weimin made himself a bag of coffee and began to drink it slowly and methodically.

"Brother Tang, what did you just use?" Wang Xuening was very curious about that 'mobile phone', he could be sure that it was definitely not an ordinary mobile phone, and it was probably some kind of detector.

"It's interesting that some people are paying attention to us now." In today's life, in addition to the traditional political and military spies, a large number of spies are active in commercial activities.

Wang Xuening asked, "Who did it?" ISN'T IT MICROSOFT OR ORACLE? ”

In his eyes, as long as he turns his face with himself, he is the enemy, but in fact, where is it that simple? The party drank coffee for the people and did not answer Wang Xuening's question, because he didn't know it now.

ORACLE AND MICROSOFT ARE NATURALLY SUSPICIOUS, BUT IBM MUST BE A CLEAN AND IMMACULATE LITTLE SHEEP? The party does not believe in the people at all, and for the sake of their own interests, in fact, enterprises that are in a trench on the surface are often doing some tricks to their peers.

"You go to bed early, we're going to talk to someone from Samsung tomorrow afternoon." The party for the people decided not to think about this matter for now, anyway, it has just started now, and it will be a long time to come.

"Koreans? When did they come out? Wang Xuening was about to rest, but when he heard that there was still a group to talk about, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at the boss with a blank look.

"Okay, you kid don't care about this, take care of your spirits, don't you like kimchi? I'll let you eat enough later." Dang Weimin laughed, he was proud of the accuracy of his judgment, he thought that those Koreans would show up early, but he didn't expect the sticks to be quite able to hold their breath. The current seller of the mobile phone system developed is most likely an Asian company like Samsung LG. THE REASON IS THAT THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH NOKIA'S SYMBIAN AND ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE ANDROID SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY GOOGLE. (Note: In fact, the Android system was only widely used in 2010, and the situation was average at the beginning of 2009)

Samsung has long been aware of this mobile phone operating system, and shortly after the preview version was released online, it experimented with relevant features on its mobile phone platform. Under the test, they were deeply impressed, so they made contact with the party for the people.

Tomorrow's meeting of Koreans in the company is of average status, that is, an ordinary high-level executive, so tomorrow's contact will be a preliminary meeting. The party put these Koreans in the last position for the people, and used the time as much as possible to deal with the main ones.

“SHIT！” In a van, a technician angrily threw his headphones to the floor, and 10 minutes earlier, he had suddenly lost contact with the spy device that had been planted. After a few minutes of investigation, he could determine that several devices were missing at the same time, which only proved that the other party had found out.

He picked up the microphone, pressed a few numbers, and after hearing someone on the other side answering, he said in a deep voice: "The other party has found our little gift." ”
