Chapter 1520 Let’s Get to the Table First

The Big Apple City in the United States, of course, can’t be called the Big Apple City yet, although Apple’s electronic products have indeed been selling well in recent years.

But the current Apple is not as dazzling as later generations, and it is far from creating its own era of empire. Therefore, Apple can only be regarded as a relatively powerful Internet company here.

Far less dazzling than Google, which has become popular recently, Yahu, which is still strong, Amazon, which is expanding crazily, and Microsoft, which is headed by the world's richest man, Bill Gates.

Although the various electronic products launched by Apple in recent years are all eye-catching.

But Apple is no longer the only one in this world, or even a leader.

Because there are many projects that Apple is optimistic about, when they conduct market research, they find that the golden ideas originally discussed in the meeting already have similar products on the market, and the quality of these products is very high.

If they enter the industry of developing this product from scratch, they are likely to break their heads rather than create their own era.

Therefore, Apple today is not only far less famous than later generations, it is not even as powerful as it was at the same time in the previous life.

Even if the U.S. government sidelines, Apple has received a lot of blood from Microsoft in recent years. However, it only relies on external force to restore blood without its own hematopoietic function, which makes Apple's funds always stretched.

It finally became easier to wait until the founder returned to Apple and actually came up with a few decent products. Who would have thought that the company's extremely confidential and extremely core smartphone project would be discovered first.

When seeing the Honor generation smartphones, the first reaction of Apple's core executives was that there was a traitor among them. Someone sold the core data of the smartphone to outsiders, allowing others to overtake Apple in a corner.

But after operating the Honor generation mobile phone, the entire conference room was completely silent.

Although in terms of technology, they have always felt that the eastern country is a barbaric wilderness and can only use the lowest-end copycat methods to produce the cheapest products.

But at this time, they did not open their eyes and tell lies, saying that the smartphones in their hands were not good, or that the other party had plagiarized Apple's technology.

Because from the appearance design of the mobile phone, to the functions of the mobile phone camera and video recording, from the mobile phone system to the mobile phone software, as well as the operation of various smart phones.

Many things that Apple only had in mind have already been designed by the other party. Even many things that Apple has not thought of, the other party has thought of in all aspects.

Compared with the Honor generation smartphones in their hands, they felt that the Aikuang 4 under development was an epoch-making product at first, but now they feel that their own Aikuang 4 is not good at anything.

It’s like they are the authentic smartphones, and Apple plagiarized Honor’s ideas, but the plagiarism was not very successful and they ended up making a copycat version.

It was extremely quiet in the conference room. A Honor Generation mobile phone was circulated back and forth in the hands of shareholders, and then the people above handed it over to the people below to experience it. After such a round of rotation, the phone returned to the hands of Gang Leader Qiao. All Everyone's eyes were also focused on Gang Leader Qiao.

At the beginning, when Qiao Gang was mainly making smart phones, everyone felt that he was dreaming. How could it be possible to make such a high-tech mobile phone with today's technology.

But when Jobs convinced them with facts and evidence, although their doubts still existed, as the project started, they saw an inflection point that would change the entire mobile phone market.

Facts have also proved that Gang Leader Qiao was right. Although they had doubts in their hearts, when they first started the smartphone project, they voted in favor and it was absolutely the right choice.

But what hurts people now is that smartphones are indeed successful and more powerful than they imagined, but such good smartphones are not produced by them. Who are you going to explain to them?

Looking around at all the shareholders and company executives in the conference room, Gang Leader Qiao did not ask others what they thought of this smartphone.

Because everyone's attitude had already been expressed through the solemn and dazed expressions on their faces, Gang Leader Qiao spoke directly.

"The first thing I want to say is that the smartphone project is right, we are not on the wrong track."

Gang Leader Qiao paused here, and the others still looked at him without speaking.

"So we have to continue on this path because there is no turning back."

The shareholders all frowned and looked solemn.

"The brands in the current mobile phone market include Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson. So even if it appears, we still have room to survive."

Gang Leader Qiao shook the black Honor Generation mobile phone in his hand, "But our expectations may need to be lowered, because we can no longer create an empire as we imagined.

However, whether we are doing Motorola or Ericsson, we still have the opportunity to reach the top by taking this path. It's just one step ahead of us, but that doesn't mean it will always be ahead.

And, although I don’t want to admit it, this phone is indeed more advanced than the products we developed. And with this template, the mass production time of our finished machine will be greatly advanced.

Or at the end of the year, or at the latest in the first half of next year, our Love Crazy 4 series will definitely be released and attack this opponent who is one step ahead of us. "

Pah. Pah. Pah pah.

Applause erupted in the conference room. Although it was not a warm cheer, it was full of determination.

Because as Gang Leader Qiao said, Apple, which has made all-out efforts to develop smartphones, has no way of turning back.

They can’t be the one who overthrows the entire mobile phone industry and establishes their own dynasty, but they can still be Motorola and Ericsson.

At least compared with other traditional mobile phones, they are still ahead. The iPhone series of smart phones already have experimental machines and are accelerating the conversion.

Everyone is paying attention to the rapid expansion of Google, the popularity of CC and MM abroad, and the Internet has ushered in its own golden age after the previous bubble. Various technology stocks in the stock market continue to soar.

But only a small number of people know that this era is about to change, and it suddenly becomes a little confusing.

For example, take the mobile phone as an example, whether it is the previous landline or the big brother, then to the flip phone, and then to the rise of mobile phone giants such as Nokia and Motorola.

Then the mobile phone takes pictures, has MP3 and MP4 functions, can have games, can log in to instant messaging software to chat, can connect to the data network to log in to the web page, etc.

These are all traceable, and everyone is pushing the transformation of mobile phones forward step by step, which is very solid.

But the emergence of smartphones directly broke this inherent pace. It was like a person who was obviously jogging suddenly ran wildly, and suddenly two wings appeared and took off directly, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Many big capitals and big consortiums who had been walking step by step were caught off guard. The eyes looking at the future suddenly had a layer of fog, everything was no longer so clear, and many things seemed to start to deviate from the track they had expected before.

So the day after Dale handed the smartphone to her brother Dean, Dean flew directly to Hong Kong.

The Peninsula Hotel, a hotel with historical elegance and classics, the London-accented presidential suite butler sent Dean to the room.

But Dean, who hurriedly put his luggage into the room, did not want to rest. Although he was tired from the long journey, it was obviously not time to sleep.

So he went into the bathroom, washed off his round dust, changed into a suit, and appeared in the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel with an elegant smile on his face.

"Actually, there's no need to be so anxious. You'll be at a disadvantage in the negotiation." Yang Dongxu stood up and shook hands with Dean, and then the two sat down. "I don't know what flavor you like, so I asked for a cup of freshly ground coffee. The coffee beans are from Tanzania and taste pretty good."

"I do need a cup of coffee to refresh myself." Dean smiled and took a sip of the coffee in front of him, "Answer your question just now.

Seeing you so anxiously will indeed put me at a disadvantage in the next negotiation. But whether you are anxious or not, whether you have a good rest and will talk to you tomorrow, you don't seem to give in within the framework you have already set."

Dean's words made Yang Dongxu stunned for a moment, then he smiled and took a sip of coffee.

The head of a big family is different. He saw the essence of this matter right away.

Since Yang Dongxu dared to give him a smartphone as a stepping stone, it means that he has absolute confidence in smartphones. There is no other smartphone in the world except his.

Such confidence makes him look very overbearing, and the price in his mind will never be compromised because of Dean's unhurried attitude tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

So it's better to get straight to the point instead of wasting that time. And since Yang Dongxu invited him to Hong Kong from afar, it proves that he has something to ask of him in terms of smartphone distribution.

The two people have their own needs, which is the basis of cooperation. Therefore, the most critical point of this cooperation is the issue of price, and the price will probably not be much different if it is discussed today or tomorrow, so why not discuss it today?

"Two cooperation modes, the first is agency." Yang Dongxu first stretched out a finger, and then stretched out the second finger, "The second is equity."

"There won't be too many shares, right?" Dean asked calmly.

"It's not just a matter of not too many shares, but shares only have dividend rights, no voting rights, and no power to interfere with the company's operations." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

The conditions are very overbearing, but Dean's face did not change, but fell into deep thought.

The two options are very simple and straightforward. Agency is cooperation, and he only needs to be responsible for paying agency fees in the market expansion in his agency area.

As for whether smartphones are targeted by the US Department of Commerce, it has nothing to do with him as an agent. The protagonist is Honor Company. If there are similar troubles, just blame them directly.

Investing in shares means bundling, and you can get more money, but when facing other companies or even the political system, he also has the obligation to share the pressure and responsibility. After all, it is impossible for you to get more money without working.

"I think I can do more. For example, William is also very interested in the smartphone market, so it can't just be the right to dividends." Dean spoke slowly and deeply.

The conditions for investing are very harsh, and it is not just the strong binding force of shares. It is estimated that the price paid for investing is not small.

But since there is a chance to sit at the poker table, why be an agent who just watches the excitement?

After all, he is not without chips in his hand. As long as he can sit at the table, he will have the opportunity to be the banker, right?
