Seeing that Samsung signed a contract with Lemon New Energy, another 20 million production quota was taken away.

Cook sat next to him, feeling a little worried.

He personally flew to Pengcheng, just wanting to settle the matter once and for all.

Apple is a proud company, even arrogant!

In any aspect, they don't like being "knocked" by others, especially the core components. They prefer to use their own research and development.

Chips, they have their own.

Although the screen is purchased, the retina technology is also exclusively owned by Apple, and the supplier can also replace it at any time.

As for foundry, it is even more important that the world's major foundries are rushing to pick up Apple's orders.

In the past, many brands of batteries have similar technical strengths, and Apple purchases the same ones, so they didn't care about it.

But now that the new lemon energy is born, the battery has changed, and it has obviously become the core component of the mobile phone!

Because it uses or does not use the battery of Lemon New Energy, the product power of the mobile phone is too poor!

So Cook really wants to take this technology in his own hands. At the very least, he must also get the authorization to prevent sudden interruption of the supply in the future.

But the development of things did not go as smoothly as he expected. Chen Hao, a young man, does not follow his style...

Seeing that it's not going to be hard, Cook can only change his mind and make it soft.

…………

After the Samsung people signed the contract, they would naturally leave. Although President Park wanted to stay and listen to how Apple negotiated with Lemon New Energy, he could not find a suitable excuse to stay.

Only a few people from Apple remained in the conference room, as well as Chen Hao and Secretary Lin Fei.

After a glance at Cook, Chen Hao smiled and asked, "Why, does Mr. Cook have anything else to say?"

"Shen Dong, since you are unwilling to license external technology, let's change the way of cooperation. How about Apple and Lemon New Energy swapping each other's shares? You know, Apple's stock is the world's best asset! I don't know how many there are. People want to own shares in Apple in their dreams!" Cook said proudly.

This way of cooperation sounds fair, and it is Lemon New Energy that takes a lot of money.

That's Apple!

The giant technology company with the highest market capitalization in the world is often aspired to!

Indeed, as long as you can own a few shares of Apple, you may not need to worry about anything else in your life, just lie down and wait for the money every year.

Chen Hao raised his brows and asked with interest: "Share swap? How do you do it?"

In fact, Chen Hao is not so interested in Apple's shares, but since Cooke has it, he might as well listen to his share swap plan.

If Cook's valuation of Lemon New Energy is reasonable and he will not take too many shares, it is also okay.

After all, Apple is indeed a very high-quality technology company.

If there is a chance to become a major shareholder of Apple, then Chen Hao will not mind...

Upon hearing that Chen Hao was interested in his plan, Cook raised his spirits, sat upright and said seriously:

"Lemon New Energy is a very promising company. Our company’s valuation is 30 billion U.S. dollars! If we exchange shares with us, we hope to get 51% of the shares of Lemon New Energy. Accordingly, We will pay half of the Apple shares of the corresponding value and half of the cash!"

I have to say that Cook is not stingy.

For the valuation of Lemon New Energy, they gave 30 billion U.S. dollars, which is 200 billion yuan!

Of course, in Chen Hao's mind, Lemon New Energy is certainly more than 200 billion yuan...

But for a newly established company, the valuation of 30 billion U.S. dollars is definitely a shocking figure!

Apple wants to get 51% of the shares, which is worth 15.3 billion U.S. dollars!

Their payment method is half of Apple stock and half of cash.

That is, Apple stocks worth 7.65 billion U.S. dollars, and 7.65 billion U.S. dollars in cash!

This price is very tempting for anyone...

The cash of more than seven billion U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is more than 40 billion RMB!

After getting so much money, there is no doubt that Chen Hao can definitely rank among the top ten richest people in China!

It is even possible to become the richest man in China...

…………

Cook waited expectantly for Chen Hao's reply.

But to his disappointment, Chen Hao barely thought about it, and shook his head.

"What? Shen Dong feels that this condition is not satisfactory enough? It doesn't matter, we can still discuss." Cook said quickly.

In his opinion, the reason why Chen Hao disagrees is simply because he feels that the money is less.

That's okay, add money!

Apple may not have much else, but it is more money!

The company's accounts of hundreds of billions of dollars in cash can be said to be more money than most countries.

Things that can be solved with money are nothing.

Chen Hao simply said: "No need to talk about this. There is too much difference between our two sides on the valuation of Lemon New Energy, and it is impossible to reach an agreement. Let's talk about business directly. Do you want to purchase our company's batteries? If so, let’s talk directly about prices and quotas."

He didn't bother to waste time with Cook here.

"Can we only wait for half a year for the quota? Is the price the same as Samsung's? But if our company wants to purchase, the 20 million quota is definitely not enough. I hope to directly sign an annual quota of at least 100 million. , And then our company can increase the number of purchases depending on the situation." Cook responded.

Their company doesn't have any low-end mobile phones. If you want to use lemon new energy batteries, you must use all mobile phones!

This amount is huge...

Other companies, like Samsung and Huawei, have surpassed Apple in annual sales.

But we all know that the sales of those two companies are more "moisture"!

In other words, it's not called water, but a considerable part of the sales is contributed by low-end and even feature phones.

But Apple's mobile phones are all high-end!

Many analysts have said that although Apple now only accounts for less than 20% of the mobile phone market, this company has taken more than 60% of its profits!

This profit margin is very amazing...

…………

"Not so much. You have to rank behind Samsung. Let's first give you a quota of 20 million. The price will increase by 50% on the basis of Samsung's price. The contract must be paid in full." Chen Hao said plainly.

This sounds stupid to Cook.

Many manufacturers that occupy an active position do have so-called "price discrimination" when facing different customers.

The current products of Lemon New Energy are too popular, and a higher asking price is acceptable.

It is acceptable even for foreign manufacturers like Samsung and Apple to buy goods at a higher price than those from China, Huawei and Xiaomi!

But what the hell is it now?

Samsung’s purchase price is already more than 50% higher than that of Huawei and Xiaomi, and Apple has to increase it by 50% on the basis of Samsung’s price...

This is simply slaughtering pigs!

Cook can't stand it!

He suppressed his anger forcibly, and resisted and started without making a case.

Shen Sheng asked, "What does Dong Shen mean? Why is Apple's purchase price so much higher than other manufacturers?"

Chen Hao replied nonchalantly: "This is normal. Your Apple's profits are much higher than other manufacturers. Our batteries, as the core components of your Apple mobile phones, should also enjoy the profits corresponding to Apple's mobile phones. So, I feel that the price is very reasonable!"

This logic seems to make sense. Cook didn't know how to answer for a while, but he felt that it was really reasonable...

But then I think about it again, this is not right!

Apple’s profits are high. That’s Apple’s own ability. With a strong brand and core competitiveness, consumers are willing to pay higher prices for Apple’s products.

What does this have to do with the supplier...
