Chapter 347 You have to agree even if you don’t agree
When the second request was mentioned, Cook suddenly became worried. If there were no surprises, the second request must be to negotiate the price.
Sure enough, as soon as Cook asked this question, Liu Haoyu looked at him with a smile.
He said with a friendly face: "The second request is of course to share the money."
Listening to what the translator translated to him, Cook rolled his eyes and thought to himself, this is indeed the case.
Cook said with a vigilant look: "Tell me about it!"
Liu Haoyu smiled and talked eloquently: "Relax, don't worry so much, I won't blackmail you."
"Well, I'll just suffer a little loss. Regarding self-driving cars, we adopt a profit-sharing model. Of course, I have another good news to tell you here. You don't need to share the interest on self-driving cars. Then check out with items.”
Hearing this, Cook felt slightly relieved.
Not to mention the specific share, just the fact that they no longer need to use the materials needed by Universe Technology Company to settle accounts has saved their company a lot of trouble.
However, before he could relax for long, Liu Haoyu's next words made his heart jump directly into his throat and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Since I said I'm going to suffer a little loss, I'll make a big concession. I'll split the profits from all the products sold six to four."
Listening to what the translator translated for him, Cook was so angry that smoke was almost coming out of his throat.
Sixty-four points, let’s say sixty-four points. Then it has to be six for me and four for you. I can still reluctantly agree to this.
You are six and I am four, what the hell is this?
Cook suddenly became unhappy and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Liu, let's cooperate happily and win-win, but your heart is too dark! We at Apple have been researching cars for so long and spent tens of billions. It’s more than US dollars, but now you only need to come up with an autonomous driving system to occupy so much profit sharing. Isn’t this a bit unreasonable?”
Zhang Lei and others on the side also looked embarrassed. They felt that their chairman seemed to be a little... greedy?
"Mr. Cook, you can't say that! As I said before, the most important part of a self-driving car is the self-driving system. To put it bluntly, its importance lies in the software, not the hardware.
The hardware is nothing more than a finished car, plus some sensors, cameras and a main control computer!
If there is no advanced autonomous driving system on this car, how is it different from an ordinary car? "
In a negotiation, if both parties are not satisfied with the conditions, the rest will naturally be non-stop wrangling.
After a period of fighting, Liu Haoyu and Cook finally reached an agreement.
That's 50/50 profit sharing.
When the negotiation ended like this, Cook showed that the boss was unwilling and felt that he was at a disadvantage. Liu Haoyu also reluctantly agreed.
Finally, the two signed another contract regarding the cooperation on self-driving cars.
"Mr. Cook, I wish us happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Cook said helplessly and shook hands with Liu Haoyu.
"Mr. Cook, I will go to your company's headquarters in a few days to learn about your specific research and development process on self-driving cars. Then I will develop a mature self-driving system in a targeted manner." Liu Haoyu said .
"Mr. Liu must inform us before coming and arrange a pick-up and drop-off!" Cook said politely.
"sure!"
After the conversation, Cook and the others were sent away, and Liu Haoyu and Zhang Lei walked back side by side.
"Mr. Zhang, inform Samsung that they will not accept U.S. dollar payments for the authorization fee for using our Qiankun system from now on. The materials we need must be delivered, otherwise the contract and cooperation will be terminated." Liu Haoyu said calmly. , as if talking about an insignificant thing.
"Director Liu, isn't this good?" Zhang Lei looked hesitant and felt very entangled: "We have already signed a licensing contract before, and I'm afraid Samsung won't agree to such a sudden change!"
Zhang Lei was very curious, what exactly did the chairman want to do? To build a greenhouse with a radius of 500 meters, so many materials had to be purchased.
Obviously, Liu Haoyu would not tell him.
“You have to agree even if you don’t agree.”
After leaving these words, Liu Haoyu left alone.
Looking at the chairman's back, Zhang Lei shook his head helplessly.
Since the chairman has said so, then just do what the chairman said!
Anyway, it seems that Samsung is really unlikely to give up its cooperation with Universe Technology Company.
Giving up cooperation is a trivial matter. If it is blocked by the Qiankun system, then Samsung mobile phones will really be doomed.
Zhang Lei believes that only the head of Samsung is not stupid. No matter how many grievances he suffers, he can only break his teeth and swallow them.
"Xu Li! You heard what the chairman just said, I'll leave this matter to you!" Zhang Lei stopped and said to Xu Li, who was following her.
Xu Li nodded helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Zhang."
…
The news that Cook stayed at Cosmos Technology Company for an entire afternoon and then left was naturally something that could not be concealed from reporters who seemed to have good ears.
But not surprisingly, although they knew that Cook came to Universe Technology Company, they didn't know what the specific purpose was.
I can only vaguely guess that it may be related to the Qiankun system.
It seems that another large international mobile phone brand is about to succumb to the pomegranate skirt of Qiankun System.
Such breaking news was naturally published by the reporters, adding a bit of personal touch and making people excited to read it.
"Qiankun System once again conquered the international mobile phone brand Apple!" 》
"Faced with the powerful Qiankun System, even the proud Apple has to surrender! 》
"It is reported that Apple secretly visited the headquarters of Universe Technology Company this afternoon. Will the target be Qiankun System? 》
"Would you buy an iPhone equipped with Qiankun system again?" 》
"If nothing unexpected happens, the next generation of Apple mobile phones will be equipped with our domestic Qiankun system! 》
"Holy shit, is this real?"
"Is Apple going to surrender too?"
"Alas, it seems that my favorite iOS system will be gone forever!"
"Take good care of the Apple phone in your hand. This will be the last phone equipped with iOS system."
"Can you two guys above stop talking nonsense? I've already replaced my iPhone with the Qiankun system!"
"9494, the iOS system is gone forever."
"I just want to ask, will anyone buy the new Apple mobile phone equipped with Qiankun system?"
"That depends on the price."
