Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 1514: Serve it on 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 that of 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.

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

Because there are many projects that Apple is optimistic about, but after doing market research, they found 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, the current Apple 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 though the U.S. government has sidetracked its efforts, Apple has gained a lot of blood from Microsoft in recent years. However, it only relies on external forces to recover blood without its own hematopoietic function, which makes Apple's funds always stretched thin.

It was finally 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 country in the East 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 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 making authentic smartphones, and Apple is plagiarizing Honor’s ideas, but the plagiarism is not very successful and they end 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 about how it was 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 also proved that Gang Leader Qiao was right. Although they had doubts in their hearts, when they first started the smartphone project, their vote in favor 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 didn't ask anyone else 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.

"First of all, what I want to say is that the smartphone project is right, we are not going the wrong way."

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

"So we must continue on this road, because there is no way 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 is just one step ahead of us, but it does not mean that we will always be ahead.

And, although I don’t want to admit it, this mobile phone is indeed more advanced than the products we developed. And with this template, our mass production time of the finished phone 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 the opponent who is one step ahead of us."

Pah...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 put all its efforts into developing smartphones, has no way of turning back.

They cannot become the person who overturns the entire mobile phone industry and establishes a dynasty of their own, but they can still be Motorola and Ericsson.

At least compared with other traditional mobile phones, they are still ahead. There are already experimental machines for the Ai Feng series of smartphones, and the conversion is being stepped up.

Everyone is paying attention to Google's rapid expansion and popularity abroad. After the previous bubble, the Internet has begun to usher in its own golden age. Various technology stocks on the stock market continue to soar.

But only a small number of people know that this era is about to change, and it has suddenly become a bit difficult to understand.

For example, just take mobile phones as an example, whether it is the landline phone in the past, or the mobile phone, and 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 functions, can play games, can log in to instant messaging software to chat, can connect to the data network to log in to web pages, and so on.

These are all traceable, and everyone is working together to push the revolution of mobile phones forward step by step, which is very practical.

But the emergence of smartphones directly broke this inherent pace. He was like a person who was clearly trotting and suddenly ran wildly. As he ran, two wings suddenly appeared and took off. This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Many big capital and consortiums that had come step by step were caught off guard. Suddenly, a layer of fog appeared in their eyes when looking at the future. Everything was no longer so clear, and many things seemed to begin to deviate from the track they had previously expected.

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

The Peninsula Hotel, this elegant and classic hotel with history, the butler of the Presidential Suite with a London accent sent Dean into the room.

But Dean, who hurriedly put his luggage into the room, had no intention of resting. Although he was tired after the long journey, it was obviously not the time to sleep now.

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

"Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. You will be at a huge disadvantage in the negotiation." Yang Dongxu stood up and shook hands with Dean, and then the two of them sat down. "I don't know what flavor you like, so I asked for a cup of freshly ground coffee.

The coffee beans come 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, "To answer your question just now.

Being so anxious to see you will indeed put me at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations. But no matter whether I am anxious or not, and whether I will talk to you tomorrow after I have rested, it seems that you will not stay within the framework you have set.

Make some concessions."

Dean's words stunned Yang Dongxu for a moment, then he picked up the coffee and took a sip with a smile on his face.

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

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

This kind of self-confidence makes him appear very domineering, and his price will never be compromised in the slightest because of Dean's unhurried attitude tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

So instead of wasting that time, it’s better to go straight to the point. And since Yang Dongxu invited him all the way to Hong Kong, it proved that he wanted something from him in terms of smartphone sales.

Both people have their own requirements, which is the basis of cooperation. Therefore, the most critical point of this cooperation is the price. And the price will probably not be too different if we negotiate today or tomorrow, so why not discuss it today?

"Two cooperation models, first agent." Yang Dongxu first stretched out one finger, then the second finger, "Second investment."

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

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

The conditions were very overbearing, but Dean's expression did not change, and he fell into deep thought.

The two options are very simple and straightforward. Agency means cooperation. He only needs to be responsible for paying agency fees in expanding the market in his agency area.

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

Being a shareholder means bundling, and you can share more money, but when faced with other companies or even the political system, he is also obliged to share the pressure and responsibility. After all, you cannot let you take more money and not work.

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

The conditions for buying shares are very stringent, and not only is the binding force of the shares very strong, it is estimated that the price to pay for buying shares is also not small.

But why be an agent watching the action when you have the chance to sit at the poker table?

After all, it’s not like he doesn’t have any chips in his hand. As long as he can serve on the table, he has a chance to become the banker, right?
