[Chapter 211: Intense negotiation confrontation]
[Chapter 211: Fierce Negotiation and Confrontation]
Tim Cook's trip to China was actually forced to do so. Xiaoyou Assistant's barrier was not broken. Even if the iPhone is a first-class product, it is difficult for the competition from other competitors in the market. It is a forced choice to come to Matrix Technology because this is Apple's only opportunity.●⌒,
"What can matrix technology get?" Ren Hong's speech was neither fast nor slow, and he was calm and composed.
Obviously, Apple has the ability to seek Matrix Technology, and it is inevitable that it will be at a disadvantage. Tim Cook knows this well and is ready to bleed a lot. The only thing that makes him unpredictable is how big the appetite of Matrix Technology is.
"We have prepared two plans." Tim Cook quickly replied, obviously he had made multiple preparations before coming. When Ren Hong was sitting, he seemed to listen to the following words. Seeing this, Cook then said: "The first solution is to be apart from the products of your subsidiary companies and promise that your company will not enter the mid- and low-end market. Apple Apple bought Xiaoyou Assistant for US$240 billion as the exclusive ios, which means that Xiaoyou Assistant only enjoys both Matrix Technology and Apple Apple. You are in the high-end zone, and we are in the mid- and low-end zone."
"Ha" Ren Hong showed a calm smile on the surface, but was surprised that the other party really had to spend a lot of money this time. US$240 billion is equivalent to a transaction and putting the money for the next five years in his pocket. It seems that the other party came with the determination to win.
Ren Hong's brain was calculating quickly like a computer. While comparing the gains and losses of the benefits, he suddenly laughed on the surface. He smiled and said, "240 billion US dollars, almost all Apple's cash reserves, is indeed a sky-high price. But Mr. Cook, you know that Xiaoyou Assistant can calculate $5 in a month with the help of the Android version of the application. Xiaoyou Assistant can have more than 2 billion users on Android phones. How much revenue can it bring to xlous-alpha company every year?"
"240 billion US dollars! It is indeed a number that shocks the world, but it makes me lose 2 billion users at the cost of..." Ren Hong suddenly frowned and shook his head with an ugly expression but didn't want to, staring at the other party and said, "...it really makes me doubt your sincerity, Mr. Cook."
"I know, of course I know." Tim Cook quickly explained: "Please listen to me and finish it, Mr. Chilus. Although you have lost 2 billion Android users, your smart voice iaou (Xiaoyou) assistant can still make profits on iOS. The 240 billion US dollars is enough to be worth the net profit revenue of iaou Assistant on Android users for about five years. The 240 billion US dollars is equivalent to Apple paying for the losses of iaou Assistant in the next five years.
, After 3 years, iaou Assistant can continue to make high profits on iOS. Your company can obtain net profit revenue of 240 billion yuan 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 letting the profit of iaou Assistant be tax exemption for another three years. In addition to the relative loss of iaou on Android, you can completely obtain a relatively comparative profit of about 150 billion US dollars in this transaction."
Speaking of this, Tim Cook opened his hands and stared at the other person, "What do you think?"
Ren Hong did not answer him immediately, but was thinking. Cook did not rush to speak, and sat aside and waited quietly while drinking coffee.
Ren Hong knew about Tim Cook's words. The other party had done a lot of homework for this negotiation. From a practical point of view, he obtained a real net profit of US$240 billion in a short period of time and reduced future losses to obtain a relative profit of US$150 billion. Apple's sincerity this time is fully viewed, which is also the price that the disadvantaged party should have.
"I want to hear the second solution." Ren Hong, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said.
Without receiving a reply, Tim Cook had no choice but to talk about the second plan first. "The second plan we prepared is that Apple Apple has obtained the iaou Assistant authorized by the company's smart device products for US$80 billion. The iaou Assistant can still make profits on Android users. For your company, while obtaining US$80 billion, it opened up a new huge market for iOS. For your company, this is also a profit of killing two birds with one stone. It does not harm the original interests and obtaining direct benefits of US$80 billion and the entire ios market. This plan does not have any actual loss for your company. Although the iPhone occupying more markets has led to a decrease in the share of iaou Assistant in Android users, at the same time, iaou Assistant has added new users on iOS, which is one to decline. For your company, it is just a move from the left hand to the right hand. That's all."
This second solution is also a lot of profit for Matrix Technology, because there is no loss, at least there is no loss on the surface. It seems that Apple is giving money to Matrix Technology.
"Okay..." Ren Hong heard this second plan and saw him move his body as if he would make him sit more comfortable. He looked at Tim Cook again and said, "One is the dollar and the other is the slow money, but both are the sky-high prices. Both plans seem to bring great benefits to matrix technology."
"Isn't it?" Tim Cook said with a smile.
"No!" Ren Hong responded like this just as he finished speaking, which made the smiling Cook frozen on the spot.
"Sorry, Mr. Sherlock Cyrus, I really can't figure out such a win-win situation... I'm sorry, can you answer me why this is?" Tim Cook couldn't help asking.
"Win-win?" Ren Hong asked back, and he shook his head slowly, "It seems like a win-win, but the only one who wins is you. Me? Matrix Technology? I think in this transaction, Matrix Technology is just a thug, that's all."
Tim Cook immediately retorted: "This is impossible. This deal is definitely not a unilateral winner for Apple. No matter which plan, your company has achieved unimaginable returns. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
"Haha..." Ren Hong smiled, as if he was talking to himself, "If Matrix Technology is so short-sighted and only looks at the seemingly crazy interests in front of him, it would never have achieved the world-renowned achievements that have attracted worldwide attention today."
Tim Cook was a little surprised when he heard this. Ren Hong looked at the other party with a perceptive look, diverted his gaze and continued: "No matter which plan seems to be beneficial to me, but in fact it was asked me to help a rival who was defeated by me. Have you ever heard of the saying in the mall that saved your mortal enemy? Well? This is a taboo and it is one of the most important things..."
"Second, iPhone and Xiaoyou Assistant entered the mid- and low-end market. The biggest impact was on mobile phone manufacturers in Greater China, because they are the leading players in this market at present. You should know how many people are there for the industrial chain attached to a well-known brand mobile phone manufacturer to survive? The fall of a brand means that the affiliated industrial chain will collapse, and how many people will be unemployed? iPhone condescends the mid- and low-end zones and also brings Xiaoyou Assistant, and no one is your opponent. The special nature of Greater China is that the number of unemployed people caused is not only millions in European and American countries, but tens of millions, and with families, that is, hundreds of millions of people are affected."
Speaking of this, Ren Hong stopped, and then said, "I have received respect from the whole world and have been hated by the whole world. I love and hate, haha, it's enough. I hope that Greater China only has love for me, let's forget about hatred."
"This is not fair!" Tim Cook suddenly said.
This made Ren Hong stunned. He never thought that such childish words would be said from Tim Cook.
"Sorry!" Tim Cook also realized his embarrassing words.
"In fact, you were wrong, Cook. We all know that the winners are never clean in the true sense. Apple's rise is also a brilliant step on the corpses of many people. Putting aside these, I am also thinking about the people of the world."
The last sentence is simply the ridiculous lie.
Tim Cook sneered in his heart when he heard this.
Ren Hong said to himself regardless of whether the other party believed it or not: "It is precisely because of this that I am willing to talk to someone who was originally my opponent but talked with him here for a long time. Because I don't want Apple to fall completely like Nokia. I don't want it, you don't want it, and the United States doesn't want it. The industrial chains of Apple and the thousands of people attached to it don't want it. Yes, I don't want it. But today, I have the final say whether Apple Apple will fall down!"
Ren Hong's words are undoubtedly extremely arrogant, especially for Tim Cook, which makes him even more arrogant. If the world knows this, it will definitely be the most arrogant sentence of the year. But the other party did not refute it. For Cook, it was a humiliation, helplessness, and a cruel fact, otherwise there would not be a meeting today.
"Of course, I don't think I am a savior. I don't want Apple to fall down because it falls down. It's not a good thing for Matrix Technology. Simply put, falling down means that the major products under my company will consume less people. The above is why you said! Mr. Cook."
Ren Hong ended his words and looked at the other party quietly. Cook forced a smile, but smiled a little miserably, "Is this why Apple cannot fall down? Is it just living humiliated for others?"
"At least they are still alive! Nokia and Motorola are all dead. Mr. Cook, isn't it good to be alive?" Ren Hong, who was sitting in a state of ban, stared at him with open hands, and the demeanor of the strong was fully revealed.
Tim Cook was speechless for a while. After a long time, the negotiations between the two sides have been concluded until now. Tim Cook, who did his best for Apple, finally lost.
"Since neither of these solutions works, what do you think?"
This sentence is equivalent to telling Ren Hong that he won this confrontation because the other party gave up his dominance.
