210 We have to distinguish ourselves from Apple! (6/6)
This is why big names are often reluctant to come forward to negotiate prices.
The people below can be arrogant, but the big shots must stick to their word.
If it wasn't for the purpose of recruiting, Tim Cook could have directly arranged for Ge Lingyue or even a business manager to come and talk to the two little guys.
Apple also has a lot of talent in this area.
If I had known earlier, I should have let Ge Lingyue stay here.
Yes, the big boss regretted it!
It’s really confusing to watch a serious conversation develop in a strange direction without having to put on the brakes!
But it was finally settled!
Tim Cook acted like a big boss, and in order to save time, he sealed the mouths of the two children at one price.
"One hundred million US dollars! This is the final offer! But there is also a condition attached. In the future, you cannot develop software similar to the second system to simulate the iOS environment to make profits! If you agree to these two points, we can sign the contract in the afternoon
Got it!"
This offer even slightly exceeded Cook's bottom line.
But in order to save time and no longer have to deal with two depressing children, Tim Cook thinks it is worth it and cuts the knot quickly!
After all, his time is more valuable.
Moreover, someone was held responsible for this incident and the price has been paid.
If it weren't for the incompetent response of the iOS technical department and the chief technology officer, why would he need to personally come forward?
Now these two incompetent senior management have been replaced.
Let's get this matter sorted out quickly, and then we can prepare for the new product launch conference.
This is Apple's most important task in the near future. Sales of new products are the most important and must not be missed.
Of course, if these two children are greedy and are not satisfied with this offer, then someone else will have to negotiate.
…
But neither Wang Yufei nor Lu Yuxin is obviously a greedy person.
This offer even exceeded the psychological price the two discussed last night.
So Wang Yufei nodded without even looking at Lu Yuxin, and said simply: "Okay, the only problem is that when the Android version of the second system was launched on the app store, it signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Penguin Group."
"If I unilaterally request its removal, I will need to pay Penguin Group a compensation."
"This is a small problem. We can negotiate with the Penguin Group, and the developers will not be involved at all. This can also be written into the contract."
The general direction has been negotiated, and Tim Cook is relieved.
Other trivial matters will naturally be considered by the people below.
The Penguin Group is different with two little guys who are very slippery.
When large companies talk to each other, everyone must abide by the rules.
The most you can do is lose money.
Wang Yufei also said before that the contract subject matter is only 5 million, how much liquidated damages can it be?
I'm afraid neither of them would like the small amount of liquidated damages.
"That's it?"
"Ok, deal!"
"I still have some things to deal with, so Manager Ge will accompany you two at noon."
"Just be busy! Don't worry about us!"
…
The trip to Apple went very smoothly.
After the amount was negotiated, Tim Cook left.
If Wang Yufei can be persuaded to join Apple, or there is a glimmer of hope, perhaps the Apple CEO will take time to have lunch with everyone to deepen their relationship.
But now that I have completely given up on this idea, today has become a one-and-done deal.
It was still a deal that didn't require the big boss's intervention at all, so naturally it lost this treatment.
Fortunately, neither Wang Yufei nor Lu Yuxin thought this was a big deal.
Do you need to feel honored to have dinner with a middle-aged old man?
When two people get together, they can discuss some interesting ideas.
…
When there were only two of them left, they began to chat quietly.
Lu Yuxin said: "What are you going to do with this money?"
Wang Yufei replied: "After I have almost digested the information from Professor Gao, of course I will invest in the development and research of brain-computer chips."
Lu Yuxin nodded and said, "Well, I think your idea today is quite interesting. Why don't you give it a try?"
Wang Yufei looked at the girl next to him in surprise: "Ah? Isn't that just random talk?"
Lu Yuxin shook her head and said: "But it sounds very exciting! Anyway, it is disrupting the situation. We can give it a try?"
"How can this money be enough to burn?" Wang Yufei shook his head.
"It's not enough to make chips! But what if it happens? With a steady stream of cash flow, you don't have to worry about spending money on making chips no matter how much you want!"
Lu Yuxin retorted at first, and then finally said what was in her heart: "If you don't have enough money, you can still go fishing! We can use this money to invest and find a group of people to develop more promising software like Kuaijian
, and then leave small loopholes and throw them into the market, and whoever picks them up and wants to be greedy will let them be greedy."
"When we grow up, we can take over the companies in a reasonable and legal manner. In such a short period of time, maybe we can raise many companies that can lay golden eggs, and we don't need to worry about management."
"And this has another advantage. If we see that a boss has a bottom line and voluntarily gives up the delicious fish delivered to his door, we can also find a way to recruit such conscientious people to become professional managers."
"As long as you do this kind of thing a few more times..."
Wang Yufei looked at the girl next to him with laughter and laughter: "Don't make trouble, not even once!"
"Huh?" Lu Yuxin pouted and looked at the man beside her angrily. No, it was a boy.
"If we do this, what's the difference between us and Apple?" Wang Yufei said again firmly.
There was no compromise at all because of the girl's little mood.
"Oh well!"
Lu Yuxin lowered her head and answered depressedly.
Yes, the guy in front of me became serious and suddenly no longer cute at all.
"In short, the bottom line is that you can't do anything that is risky. The quick construction was just an accident." Wang Yufei emphasized again.
"Okay, I'll listen to you! What a pity, such a fun thing." Lu Yuxin sighed.
There is no other way, surrender means surrender.
Wang Yufei allowed her to mess around on small things, but when it came to big things, she could only listen to Wang Yufei.
This is the tacit way the two of them get along.
"It would be fun if we could really develop a brain-computer chip!"
"Before forming an industrial chain, we must first formulate an interface standard. Anyone who wants to use our products must follow the established standards. Those who do design and hardware must reserve positions according to our requirements and design standards.
With the interface. Authorize whoever you want to authorize, and don’t authorize it to whomever you don’t want to authorize!”
"You can do whatever you want. We don't care how much money we make anyway, right?"
