Chapter 711: Negotiations Break Down
On the afternoon of the day when Han Yi boarded the New Zealand plane, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Chief Engineer Balman Chester arrived at Jinling International Airport.
In accordance with Han Yi's instructions, Xie Xun went to the airport with Jinling officials to make a welcome ceremony, and the media gathered at the scene.
After shaking hands with the official person, Tim Cook took the initiative to shake Xie Xun's hand, his smile was bright, and the flashing lights were connected for a while.
The next day, as if the domestic media had reached a collective climax, they reported the news one after another, calling it a great victory in the high-tech field.
However, Xie Xun obviously didn't care, and he wouldn't get carried away.
He was well aware of the purpose of Tim Cook's visit.
On the morning of the same day, the two sides launched a tentative contact at the headquarters of Tianyi Group, and Tim Cook proposed Apple's plan to invest in Tianyi imaging technology.
This kind of "touching porcelain" psychology was of course rejected by Xie Xun.
Apple's negotiation team immediately adjusted the plan and proposed it again on the morning of the third day, hoping to introduce Tianyi's key technology.
This is the attitude of negotiation.
But unfortunately, it was also not negotiated.
Apple wants a lump sum payment in the form of a buyout, while Tianyi asks for a share of the product. Depending on the form of the product, a sales share ranging from 5% to 15% is required. Add an additional $2 billion in technology licensing fees.
Tim Cook naturally couldn't have agreed.
They can afford $2 billion, but it's absolutely impossible to get a share of sales!
At the end of the meeting, Tim Cook hurried away
That same night, a not-so-pleasant news came back to the Tianyi headquarters-
The 100,000 glasses-free imagers and 200,000 smart displays that have just arrived at Atlanta International Airport in the United States have been seized by the US CBP (General Administration of Customs) on the grounds that they "may endanger national security".
Fools know what the United States wants to do, just like everyone knows that "football is anti-buying, villas are close to the sea, while looking at the sea, one hand is ***", it is so blatant.
Because the naked-eye imager itself is a component of data transformation, it does not transmit data, and it is unlikely to pose a threat to national security as the United States said;
As for smart displays, although the hardware code is written into the bottom layer, the database is built in the United States, and it is subject to investigation by the FBI and CIA at any time.
Therefore, if you want to add sin, there is no excuse.
......
On the morning of the fourth day, Apple's negotiating team came to Tianyi's headquarters, and Tim Cook apologized as soon as he saw Xie Xun, "I'm sorry, this is not the result I want to see." ”
Xie Xun didn't say anything.
Even if Tim Cook agrees to pay a share of the sales, the consortium behind Apple will never agree;
In the same way, Tianyi will not compromise.
At the end of the day, until the conglomerates behind Apple recognize the situation, there is no room for negotiation between the two sides.
Negotiations broke down, and Tim Cook and his party left in disgrace that afternoon.
On the other hand, Tianyi made solemn representations to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The relevant person in charge of the U.S. Department of Commerce responded: This matter is under investigation and will give an answer as soon as possible.
Tianyi didn't ask his grandfather to tell his grandmother again.
On the morning of the 7th, the New York State Branch of Tianyi Group issued an announcement: I regret to inform you of the news that due to the wrong decision of the government, we have suffered serious injustice;
In view of this, Tianyi decided to close the US branch and withdraw from the US market by the middle of the month at the latest. At the same time, I would like to say sorry to all our customers that we are no longer able to provide services to you.
As soon as the news came out, there was a global uproar.
According to incomplete statistics, Tianyi created nearly $5 billion in sales in the North American market last year;
Correspondingly, Tianyi high-end robots, nanomaterials, sensors, reducers, imaging equipment, etc., have a high market share in the United States.
It's unbelievable that he has given up now and just given up.
The U.S. National Security Agency (NAS) rushed to the New York branch of Tianyi as soon as possible, sealed all documents and documents, and checked all employees one by one to prevent anyone from taking the data out of the United States.
Things have gotten to this point, and there's almost no room for turning around......
............
InterContinental Wellington, New Zealand.
Lu Menglin held her mobile phone and flipped through the news on YouTube about the "Tianyi Withdrawal from North America";
Soon put the mobile phone on the coffee table, and said with a black face: "These American netizens are simply talking nonsense, and they actually say that we are a spy company." Others are even more ......"
Wearing a black small lapel suit and a light pink pleated collar shirt, Shen Xin, who is full of business style, gently stirred the coffee cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "YouTube is similar to UC and Toutiao in China, they are all eye-catching things." ”
Han Yi, who was smoking, also said, "Not bad." YouTube's algorithm is in the same vein as Toutiao, and everything pushed is related to the content you retrieve. You have to watch it, it can you off. ”
Lu Menglin calmed down the anger in her heart, and her face, which was painted with delicate light makeup, also regained her calm.
walked across from Han Yi and sat down, and asked worriedly, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
"Do you think we are Zhongxin?" Han Yi asked, and then said with a smile: "We don't lack technology, equipment, or materials now, and we can still live a nourishing life without his old beauty, why should we suffer from this nest?"
And compared to our losses, it is the United States that should regret it. ”
"But......" Lu Menglin paused and asked, "What about the parts and components in our company's aircraft? I heard that a considerable part of them are imported from the United States." ”
"Who did you hear?" Han Yi asked with a smile still on his face.
Shen Xin also said strangely: "Isn't it? I have seen two purchase orders, both of which were imported from the United States. ”
Han Yi didn't explain, he put out the cigarette in the ashtray, stood up and said, "I'll take you somewhere." ”
"Where, is it far?" the two women asked in unison.
"Not far, soon there. ”
......
An hour later, watching the blue sky and white clouds gallop in front of him, Shen Xin's surprise in his heart can be imagined.
Lu Menglin, who had already taken the Big Cat once, was surprised at all, because at this time, the speed of the plane had reached a terrifying 3,000 kilometers per hour, as Han Yi once said!
Han Yi didn't explain anything. Not to mention them, there are many technologies in it that even he knows a little about.
However, this did not prevent him from trusting the Big Cat.
Building such an airplane would be a piece of cake for the Surreels, and if it weren't for the material limitations, it wouldn't be a big deal to build a spaceship capable of interstellar travel.
After Shen Xin watched the meeting, he began to talk about the progress of the negotiations during this time.
Overall, it didn't go too well.
Resistance from all quarters has left little substantive progress in negotiations with the government.
Of course, it's not that it failed.
For New Zealand, which is completely market-oriented, there is no area that cannot be invested, but without the strong support of the government, it will definitely not be so smooth.
For example, to build a lossless solar power station, those local oligarchs will organize public protests on the grounds of "environmental pollution" and refuse to let you start work;
Or foreigners build aircraft cannons, they will also find all kinds of reasons and not let you get the approval.
Han Yi thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry! Take your time and eat away at the market here step by step." ”
Shen Xin asked, "Do you have a plan?"
Han Yi said: "I'll talk about it when I get to the place." ”
At this time, the Big Cat business plane was like a meteor piercing the sky, leaving a series of sonic booms in the air.
Soon, Namgundo was already on the radar display.
After another three minutes, the Big Cat began to slow down.
When it comes to a complete standstill, the plane hovers in the air and then descends slowly.
After it came to a complete stop, the three got off the plane one after another.
Shen Xin and the others looked at the tall buildings, beautiful landscape trees, and huge sea ships moored in the harbor on the island, and they were shocked.
"This ...... Where is this?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "This is my private island, called Nanjun Island. ”
Shen Xin, who had been in a high position for a long time, quickly calmed down, and asked the point in one sentence, "You produce forbidden weapons here?"
"Almost!" said Han Yidang, who walked towards the tarmac first, "Let's go, while it's still dark, I'll take you around." ”
Shen Xin frowned, and asked in the back, "Are you sure you want us to visit?"
Han Yi said with a smile: "Most countries in the world know that you want to vent if you want to. ”
"......" Shen Xin felt that Han Yi was scolding her for being wicked.
followed side by side with Lu Menglin, asking as he walked along.
"That's what to do. Shen Xin looked at the pillars on the side of the road that were dozens of meters high and had huge umbrellas on top.
Han Yi said casually: "Lossless solar generators." It contains 5,000 power generation units and a transformation neural network. ”
"Oh, how much electricity can such a pillar generate every day?" Shen Xin was surprised.
Han Yi smiled and said: "20,000-22,000 kWh on sunny days and 15,000-18,000 kWh on cloudy days. ”
"That's a lot......"
Shen Xin and Lu Menglin were shocked when they heard it.
A simple calculation, kilowatt / hour = 1 kilowatt hour = 0.55 yuan, take the middle value of the two, 18750 kilowatt / day× 0.55×365 = 3764062.
In other words, a pillar must create at least 3.7 million economic benefits per year;
Turning his head to look at the thousands of pillars standing on the island, the two women were a little messy for a moment......
