But Apple's order made Eric Schmidt feel ready to move

Before, he made the decision to give up Android and invest in the Crown smartphone system, which was to allow Google to completely capture Apple's devices, which was also considered anger. Now, when he heard the news that Apple decided to obtain Crown smartphone authorization for $1.5 billion, he was naturally moved.

To be honest, Google is not short of money. They have extremely stable cash flow support every month. Even if the world economy is now in a downward period, the impact on them is not too great. Even if everyone has reduced advertising expenses, as the company with the largest search engine market share in the world, it is naturally the first choice for many companies.

If it weren't for the contract that could be settled with a billion, it would now cost 3 billion. If the boss didn't mean that he would nod directly. But thinking that it was just a matter of thought, he would have to pay an extra $2 billion, which always makes people feel a little painful! What's more important is that Google is not his own company. As the second largest listed company, they still need to be responsible to their shareholders.

A contract that was originally worth 1 billion yuan, but now it costs 3 billion yuan. What should the board of directors think when the news spreads? What should the shareholders think? He must consider all these. Unlike the Tang Dynasty Prince Technology, everything can be decided by the Prince Wang alone.

In short, he has money. As long as he can achieve his wish, he feels painful, but he can still pay the 2 billion dollars with his heart. However, he must have a step and explanation to convince all Google investors.

"Well, the account is not calculated like this. Apple must use your system to occupy the market, and we are just promoting our products. It is just a small task for your company, not to mention that you also need to use our patents. Most of these patents are bought by us for real money, not to mention the advertising services provided by Google for your company." Eric Schmidt said after pondering for a while.

"In fact, if our agreement with Apple also has the terms of sharing patents, and Apple has many patents on mobile smart systems than your company, but in fact, our system involves patent infringement. Moreover, the upcoming English version of Prince Intelligent System has abandoned its previous programming language and used a new language also developed by Prince Technology of Datang. So now we don't have a strong demand for this aspect. As for advertising..." The other party did not continue to say it. But Eric Schmidt naturally understood the other party's meaning.

Well, the previous Google contract is obviously more tempting than it is now. After all, the reputation of the prince's smartphone system has been spread, so it is no wonder that the Chinese person on the other side is fearless. More importantly, as long as this system is popular, they will have the most urgently needed initial development fund reserves, so the temptation of a billion-dollar contract to them is obviously not as great as before.

But after a second thought, Eric Schmidt thought through the various things and couldn't help but feel annoyed. What a good opportunity before, why did he have to make a brain spree and ask for a breakup? And Microsoft is too unsuccessful, and even a hacker can't handle it. A good press conference was caused by a sudden outburst. Now it's still in urgent public relations and is still recruiting the next president urgently around the world.

What's even more stupid is that 10 loopholes have been exposed before, but they did not attract enough attention from Microsoft. They deserve Satya Nadella to get out.

He didn't know that Microsoft had actually paid enough attention to it, and even specifically postponed the launch of 10 new products. Their mistake was that they just happened to provoke a guy who had obtained an alien heritage and had a mind far beyond the times. And now he is negotiating with this guy.

If he knew the prince's ambition and future achievements at this time, he might not have considered signing this contract, because it would mean giving the guy the most urgently needed funds at this time to help the guy quickly complete the initial primitive accumulation. But at this time Eric Schmidt knew nothing.

So after a long time of confusion, his attitude softened a lot when he spoke again, "Okay. But we are friends, king. My previous breach of contract was a mistake, but we should give us a friendly price. In my impression, Chinese people have always been generous to their friends."

"Okay, then the authorization time will increase from five years to eight years. The extension of three years is enough to deserve the friendship between us. You must know that it is absolutely impossible for me to extend Apple's contract to a month."

Obviously, Prince Wang’s answer did not satisfy Eric Schmidt completely, but it seemed that he could not find any more words. Especially the other party’s firm tone made him realize that the key issue now was that the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides became more likely to be Google’s desire for Prince Datang Technology.

"ten years!"

"No, at most, Mr. Schmidt, who knows what will happen eight years later? Maybe Android comes from behind. Everything is possible."

"Okay, Wang, you won. Eight years will be eight years. I will ask someone to re-draft another contract template, and someone will contact your company directly. But one thing is, I hope this new contract can be absolutely confidential during the execution period, and the contract itself must be re-entered to the confidentiality clause."

The previous contract has been exposed, and the sky-high contract has been exposed again. Money is a trivial matter, but it is hard to get over the face. What's more, as a listed company, my decision will definitely be criticized.

"As you wish, I wish us a happy cooperation again!"

The other party's voice always sounded relaxed, and obviously there were not many surprises about reaching the contract. But Eric Schmidt was full of annoyance, "Happy cooperation!"

...

After hanging up the phone, Prince Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then added another 3 billion US dollars to the list of laptops in front of the desk.

In fact, he is very short of money. The contracts reached by the company these days are already astronomical, and even the personnel inside the company are too lazy to cheer for these huge contracts. They are already used to it, but in the eyes of Prince Wang, the gap is still very large now.

The headquarters building needs to be built, and there is a road to be built, and these are all small money. The key is that the construction of high-end laboratories is the big deal. Any equipment he needs is tens of millions of dollars, and he may not be able to buy it. It is basically high-end technology products that restrict exports from abroad. If you don’t make more money now, how can he turn his brains into reality? Welcome)
