Age of Dreams

The reason why big people are different from small people is reflected in all aspects. ▲∴,

For example, don’t look at the three people confronting each other in the conference room just now. You won’t let me, I won’t let you, but after arriving at the Fairy’s company cafeteria, they ate delicacies made by top chefs, drank drinks and drinks, and the three chatted and laughed. Very harmonious.

Due to the fact that Qiao’s body has been recuperating, the Chinese master of traditional Chinese medicine specifically told him not to drink, not to drink too much coffee, and to pay attention to his diet, so he did not drink Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi’s wine during the meal.

Depending on his temper ten years ago, most of the young and old will be drunk by him today.

Li Jianxi is the same. After all, they are all in their sixties, and they have begun to pay attention to health preservation, at most drinking a glass of red wine.

This is naturally the case for people like Xiao Qi who hardly drink. Except for a glass of champagne, everything else is eating.

Compared with the slightly boring inside, the five or six tables temporarily set outside, including the people from Apple, Samsung, and Fairy, who participated in the specific negotiations this time, are sitting on their backs, eating meat and drinking, beer, red wine, and liquor. It's so lively.

Just looking at it like this, not many people will feel that starting tomorrow, these people will fight violently for the benefit of their company, and everything must be contended.

But let's talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow.

For example, after Qiao Bangzhu, Li Jianxi and Xiao Qi finished their dinner, Qiao Bangzhu dragged Xiao Qi and Li Jianxi with great interest, went directly to Old Bar Road for a stroll, and then went to the snack bar inside to taste delicious snacks. Just returned in great fun.

During the period, no matter which one of the three people was, they behaved exactly like ordinary people. They did not have any decisiveness in the company, and they did not have astonishing aura at the negotiating table.

When the three passed by the Folklore Square. I was also dragged to dance for a while. This folk dance party is held every night. It often drags tourists to dance together. The laughter and joy will make people forget the hard work and exhaustion.

However, early the next morning, the three delegations outside sat separately in three corners of the same large conference room.

They are waiting for the three bosses to come up with a rough charter. For example, what percentage of the app store ads should be sold to Apple and Samsung, and then they are specifically responsible for what to pay and what to get.

Such a complicated process certainly does not need to be discussed by the three giants, but it is also very important, and it is not sloppy at all.

Therefore, when the people of the three delegations looked at each other, they had long lost the enthusiasm for being brothers and brothers last night, and instead looked at the class and the enemy a little bit.

In the small meeting room, yesterday's negotiations continued. It also went directly to the topic.

"I went back and discussed it last night. I think that Apple got 5% of the shares and Samsung got 3%, which is a very realistic consideration." Xiao Qiping said peacefully.

"Too little!" Qiao's helper said impatiently, "Why do we get 2%, while Samsung can get 3%? Apple's sales are nearly twice that of Samsung!"

"Sorry, according to the latest data, the sales of galaxy-tab were added in December and January. Our Samsung smart electronic products have continuously exceeded 9 million units, which is one step away from Apple." Li Jianxi said. "Furthermore, last time Apple asked for an increase in its own shares. At that time Samsung should also have the right to demand a share of shares. So having said that, I think Samsung and Apple together, 5% is not too much."

"I don't agree!" Qiao said directly: "Apple will hold a new generation conference next month. When the time comes, we will sell two generations of mobile phones together, and we can directly reach at least 20 million units per month. You Samsung Why are you the same as us? I want 10%. You want 3%. This number is very appropriate."

"Why?" Li Jianxi was not happy. "Samsung will launch new mobile phones in the next few months, and we may also have to increase sales! Both Apple and Samsung are on the same starting line. You can't ask for more. , We don’t want it at all, this is not true!"

The two of them quarreled as they talked.

Apple and Samsung came together to put pressure on Xiao Qi, but they definitely couldn't pee in a pot.

Therefore, Xiao Qi does not have to worry about them uniting together. After all, the leader of Qiao and Li Jianxi hope that the first step is to press the other party under them, and then oust Xiao Qi from the throne of the leader, instead of always accepting that the two are equal. The situation suppressed by Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was happy to see them making noise, and the two of them had different opinions, which naturally gave Xiao Qi more room for maneuver.

However, Clan Leader Qiao would naturally not forget that he was the protagonist. He argued with Li Jianxi for a while, and immediately pointed the finger at Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, what is it going on, you just have to say something!"

"Didn't I put forward a discussion suggestion? You don't agree." Xiao Qi spread his hands and smiled and said, "Or, what about the gambling agreement again?"

"You dream!"

The leader of Qiao categorically refused.

The last time he was pitted by Xiao Qi was miserable. From the 15% request, he finally got only 3% of the share promise, which made him lose his prestige in Apple.

Now the leader of Qiao's gang has a shadow, for fear of being trapped by Xiao Qi again.

Li Jianxi's expression changed, but he also pondered for a long time before he tentatively said: "I don't know what Qi Shao's way of betting against you is?"

"You also know that the estimated shipment volume in one month is now 25 million units." Xiao Qi said eloquently. "Starting from its sales start, if I sell more than 400 million units within a year, then Apple You can only get 3%, and Samsung gets 1% of the shares. If I sell more than 500 million units within a year, then your commitment to get shares will be cancelled; if I can’t reach it, then Apple gets 10%, How about Samsung getting 7% of the app store shares?"

The two immediately bowed their heads and began to calculate.

The original calculation was 300 million units per year. This number does not seem to be difficult to achieve. If it is said that 400 million units may not be too difficult, it is obviously a bit exaggerated to say 500 million units.

Both Apple and Samsung make mobile phones. Of course, they know that the output of mobile phones cannot be increased when they want to increase.

It is subject to two aspects: the first is the production capacity of the factory, and the other is the supply capacity of parts.

For example, due to the production capacity of the factory, Daoyin's factory with an annual production capacity of 96 million units has been about a year since the concept was put forward, but it will not be officially put into production until about May.

Therefore, the second generation will definitely fall into the awkward situation of insufficient production capacity in the first few months of its launch. The Hongqiong Island Bay plant has expanded to the limit of 10 million units per month. It is impossible to produce all of the second generation. ? The first generation will be sold for half a year or even a year at the same time!

Speaking of it, Xiao Qi accidentally cheated the leader of Qiao’s gang. If it hadn’t been for Xiao Qi who had booked the foundry in Daoyin early in the morning, if it hadn’t been due to the snow disaster and the delay in the construction period of a major earthquake that lasted more than 3 months , I am afraid that Apple has already started production at the Daoyin factory in Honghai.

The supply capacity of spare parts is even more a major factor restricting production.

You have the workers, the factory is ready, but the parts are not, how do you produce?

The one-year production plan of the component manufacturers is set early, and they have to set the demand with the downstream raw material suppliers early so that they can be supplied to the factory.

Even if there are some floating preparations, it will not be so exaggerated that 300 million sets will be expanded to 500 million sets, right?

If Fairy Company doesn't want it, if some parts are to be upgraded next year, won't the 200 million sets of spare parts be left in your hands?

For a time, Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi were a little moved.

But when they turned, they immediately reacted, Xiao Qi is very skillful in gambling.

Whether it was an oil gambling or other gambling, Xiao Qi had never lost!

As long as he speaks out, he is sure to be sure, if he is greedy, he will easily be cheated by Xiao Qi's decision.

Moreover, the time span for gambling is as long as one year, and the future variability is too uncertain, or it is much more cost-effective and safer to get the shares in your hands now.

"Don't say anything to bet, let's solve the immediate matter first." Qiao's helper said decisively: "I want 7%, which is my minimum requirement. If you don't agree, we won't have anything to talk about. Now! Apple will definitely have its own ideas!"

Xiao Qi sneered at his threat, "Stephen, how ambitious is the future? I don't need to talk about it? Apple wants to start anew~www.readwn.com~ With your sales, can you support an app store? Are you used to it? Of users, how many are willing to leave with you?"

Qiao's helper snorted coldly and didn't answer Xiao Qi's words.

Li Jianxi also sighed in his heart.

In fact, this is also the biggest weakness of Apple and Samsung.

If at the beginning, they didn't cooperate with Xiao Qi, but made the app store by themselves, then even if their strength was weaker, the two would not come to Chengdu to negotiate at all.

But now that these are no longer useful, they are colossal creatures jointly cultivated by Apple, Samsung and the Fairy Company. It is extremely reluctant to let Apple and Samsung start a new stove.

Not to mention the huge amount of money spent, the hardships of starting from scratch, and the irresistible sense of frustration in the face of unmatched ones!

Therefore, the two who are not fools, just think about how to get more benefits, and have never really thought about leaving! ! (To be continued...)
