rebirth of cataclysm

"But I can't see your respect at all." Hu Mingchen put aside the thief and said, not looking at Gretli at all, "You can go back, either ask Jonas to send someone else, or you can adjust your attitude

If you come back again, I won’t send it away.”

Hu Mingchen's attitude of refusal was very firm, so even though Gretli was unwilling to leave, he still wanted to continue, but when Hu Mingchen didn't give him a good look, he had no choice but to leave in the end.

"Xiaochen, why did you drive him away?" As soon as Gretli left, Chen Xuesheng sat next to Hu Mingchen and asked.

"Uncle Chen, didn't you let me sell the company?"

"I...I really don't want to sell it, but if the price offered by the other party is acceptable, it's not impossible to consider it. With enough funds, we can do more things." Chen Xuesheng hesitated.

"Haha, Uncle Chen, don't worry, he will come again." Hu Mingchen said with a confident smile, and then Hu Mingchen put his smile away: "But...Uncle Chen, whether it is the company or IPENG, I actually

They won’t be sold.”

"Why? Is it because the other party's bid is low?"

"It's not because their bid is low, it's because they simply can't afford it," Hu Mingchen said solemnly.

"Although Apple is not the top company, they are also an internationally renowned enterprise. How come they can't afford the price? What price do you want to sell it at?" Chen Xuesheng asked doubtfully.

"It's very simple. Ten billion US dollars is a no-brainer. Haha, do you think they can afford this price?" Hu Mingchen joked.

"Ten billion U.S. dollars... Ten billion U.S. dollars, Xiaochen, are you serious? How can our company only have so much money? Even ten Pengbo Electronics cannot be worth so much." For Hu Mingchen

Chen Xuesheng was extremely shocked at the price he set.

"Uncle Chen, do you think I want to make a joke? To him, I might joke, but to you, I wouldn't. Maybe Pengbo Electronics today is not worth this price, but after a few years, even if someone offers this price,

You won't agree to sell it either. If Jonas comes to talk to me five years later, the price will be ten times what it is now." Hu Mingchen said solemnly.

If Chen Xuesheng thought Hu Mingchen was joking just now, now he could see that Hu Mingchen was serious.

"In five years... you mean our company will be worth 100 billion in five years? Or in US dollars?"

"Don't be surprised. Today, with the rapid economic development and the rapid advancement of various technologies, everything is possible." Hu Mingchen picked up the tea on the coffee table and took a sip.

"I really can't imagine it, but since you have no intention of selling it, why are you still negotiating with them?"

"It can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not. At least it is good to explore the other party's background. Because in this industry, we actually only have one competitor, at least for five years. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for our opponent to

The more we understand, the more chance we have of winning." Hu Mingchen said.

"The only competitor is Apple? If you want to get more information that you need to know, you should have more contact with the other party."

"Haha, sometimes you can still learn important things by going the opposite way. Besides, for a person like Gretli, if you think you have a good conversation with him, will he tell us about their content? Impossible

Yes, even if he says it, I won’t believe it, because he will only tell us false news." Hu Mingchen asked and answered himself.

"Then I don't understand how you can get important content by doing the opposite. Please explain it to me." Chen Xuesheng said with doubts.

"It's very simple. We don't want to sell, but the other party still wants to buy it. What do you think it means?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"Explanation... It means that Apple and Jonas are very optimistic about this product and the future development trend of mobile phones. They do not want us to participate in the competition and want to monopolize this market. They spend a lot of money to defeat their opponents.

, it is better to spend some money to solve the problem once and for all." Chen Xuesheng pondered for a moment and said.

Hu Mingchen was actually not very satisfied with Chen Xuesheng's answer. This also showed Chen Xuesheng's limitations. It was really a bit reluctant for him to be the helmsman of such an offensive company.

"Uncle Chen, what you said is only half right, and this half is still known to everyone. What I value more is the other side. The more they want to acquire, it actually means that their products have encountered problems and they have no confidence.

He can defeat us. At least with this first-generation product, he

They are lagging behind, so they will spare no effort to acquire them, and the situation you mentioned will occur. If they are very confident in their products, and the quality and functions are better than ours, there is no need to spend so much time.

." Hu Mingchen explained to Chen Xuesheng.

When Hu Mingchen said this, Chen Xuesheng suddenly realized. The logical relationship seems to be true.

Gretli returned to his hotel room and sat down on the sofa angrily as soon as he entered the door. The translator who accompanied him poured him a glass of whiskey, hoping that Gretl would drink some to calm his mind. Who knew that Gretl would calm down?

It was dry as soon as you picked it up.

"Shit, is this whiskey? I've never had such a bad whiskey." After taking a sip, Gretli looked at it, then looked at the translator and cursed.

"I don't know, this is what is provided in the hotel. But, Mr. Gretry, even if you drink fake whiskey, don't make a fuss. It's like this in China. They want to imitate us, but...

...You know." The translator shrugged.

"They want to learn but don't want to pay the price, so they just want to take advantage. They are really an opportunistic nation, just like those annoying thieves." Gretli just drank a glass of fake whiskey at Hu Mingchen's place.

, naturally no good words will come out of your mouth.

"Mr. Gretry, what should we do now? They are not willing to talk to us at all." the translator asked.

"Jack, even though you have studied in China for four years, it seems that you don't know them that well. Are they really unwilling to talk? I can't tell. The guy named Hu didn't say anything to death. That's the problem.

Okay. Didn’t you just say that? They like shortcuts and opportunism, so I don’t believe them when they can make money so cheaply.

Don’t be moved, it’s just that our offer is not enough to make people excited for the time being. What’s more, the Chinese are very vain and they save face, so as long as you pretend to flatter them, they will give up some substantial benefits. So, don’t look at it

They are tough-talking, and they may be discussing how to spend the money we gave them right now," Gretli said proudly.

Gretli is really too self-righteous. Yes, there are indeed many Chinese people who are the type he described, but the Hu Mingchen he met is definitely not the type.

On the contrary, Hu Mingchen is a person who pays attention to substantial interests, and he is also a person who pays attention to long-term interests. The so-called face is not worth much to Hu Mingchen.

The next day, Gretli thought that Hu Mingchen's anger had dissipated, so he took the initiative to contact Chen Xuesheng without being informed and wanted to visit Hu Mingchen again.

This time Hu Mingchen did not embarrass Gretli again. Of course, this had a lot to do with Gretli's greatly changed attitude.

As soon as they met, Gretli apologized for yesterday's presumption and once again expressed their sincerity in hoping to cooperate.

"Mr. Hu, I have communicated with Mr. Jonas last night. If you really feel that our offer is not enough, we are willing to give more. You see, how about 150 million US dollars? We think this price is

That's quite fair." Gretli sat in front of Hu Mingchen and said politely.

"Mr. Gretry, you may think this price is too high, but for us, it is not enough." Hu Mingchen shook his head and objected.

"This price is not enough? Mr. Hu, with all due respect, your company is really not a big company. The price of 150 million is already a big premium. OK, if you think our price is not enough,

Then tell me, what price will you charge for selling it?"

"Mr. Gretli, if not, let me offer you a compromise. I know you don't have much cash on hand. Alternatively, merge our company into Apple, and we will hold 49% of the equity.

What do you think?" Hu Mingchen suggested.

"Impossible, this is impossible. Apple has no way to make such a decision, and our shareholders will not give up their shares. Moreover, the price of 49% of Apple's equity is already far greater than one

It's impossible to ask for 500 million U.S. dollars. I think your proposal is meaningless. Why not be more realistic?" Hu Mingchen's proposal was also rejected by Gretli.

Of course Hu Mingchen knows that this is impossible. Of course, if the other party agrees and can do it, Hu Mingchen won't mind. In the future, Apple will be the world's largest market capitalization company worth trillions, with 49% of the shares.

, that's also like 500 billion, not to mention that for a company with dispersed equity, 49% is already the largest shareholder.

Hu Mingchen shrugged, not frustrated at all by the other party's rejection: "Mr. Gretry, our current differences are still a bit big, let's put aside the dispute for the time being. Let's change the topic. Vanity Company released a similar new product one day ahead of us.

Product, why don’t you find Vanity Company to acquire it?”

"No, Vanity Company is very big and we can't completely acquire it. Even their IPH, the possibility of selling it to us is very low."

"In this case, it won't help if you buy our company. You still have to face a huge competitor like Vanity Company. And, with all due respect, you can't compete in production. Vanity Company can reduce costs to a very low level.

It’s low, but you can’t.”

"Although they have huge production capacity, they don't have the technology." Gretli said firmly.

"Hahaha, would they have no technology? If they had no technology, would they be the first in the world to release new products? It would be pointless for you to lie to me like this." Hu Mingchen laughed.
