Chapter 2210 Negotiations
The whole morning's negotiations ended unhappily.
In fact, both Xiao Qi and Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi, who came together, knew clearly how difficult the negotiations were.
Therefore, no one planned to succeed in the negotiation within a day or two.
The world's media are paying close attention to the negotiations between the three parties. Just yesterday when Gang Leader Qiao and others came over, more than 100 news media had already rushed over.
So I was able to hang out on Lao Ba Road last night because the reporters didn't expect the three of them to be so leisurely. When someone received the news today, many reporters were already stationed here and there, ready to take valuable photos.
Good coverage scoop.
Inside the Fairy Company, they have no way to get in. Although there are many young-faced reporters who want to pretend to be students and enter the green garden area of the Fairy Company, the problem is that they are of the wrong race. They are all white reporters.
Will not be released.
The same cannot be said for reporters in China. They can only enter the garden area at most and cannot get close to the core office area. Everyone there who enters the building must go through a card confirmation. No one can enter without identification.
There were a few people who tried to get away with it, but they were caught out by the security guards.
With the strength of retired elite security guards, they can deal with these guys with ease.
Considering that there were too many reporters outside, we did not want them to disturb the negotiation process. During lunch, the Fairy Canteen brought food boxes one by one and set up a few banquet tables on Xiao Qi's office floor.
It was not until evening that the Rolls-Royce Phantom executive-class motorcade carrying Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi split into two directions and carried them back to the hotel respectively.
After leaving the Fairy Company, the reporters with their extraordinary abilities finally blocked Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi in the underground parking lot.
A photo was also circulated.
You can tell from these photos and the expressions of the Apple team and Samsung team that the negotiations did not go smoothly.
The voice of the interview video also confirmed this.
Li Jianxi just said "no comment", but Gang Leader Qiao didn't say a word and went straight into the elevator leading to the hotel floor with a very ugly look on his face.
"At present, it seems that Apple and Samsung, which are aggressive this time, have not achieved their goals. Maybe they have not met the minimum requirements. I really don't know what harsh conditions Xiao Qi gave them to let Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi
The two giants have been negotiating for more than a day without success. But no matter what, I believe that in the next few days, the headquarters of Fairy Company in Chengdu will surely affect the hearts of all giants in the smart electronics industry in the world." - Deutsche Electronics and Observation
Report.
"The key to the negotiation is still the share of the share." BBC financial commentator Tavas commented: "On the one hand, Xiao Qi is absolutely unwilling to let go of control of the App Store, not only because of his stingy character, but also because of his stingy character.
It involves billions and tens of billions of monetary interests. On the other hand, Apple and Samsung’s main contribution to the app store is not as much as that of Fairy Company alone, so if they want to ask for more power, I’m afraid it’s not
It can be done so easily!”
"Apple, Samsung and Fairy are undoubtedly giants in the smart electronics industry. These emerging giants have completely overtaken the established mobile phone manufacturers Nokia, Motorola and Sony Ericsson, and are dominating the entire smart electronics market. But we
What needs to be seen is that the reason why these three companies can cooperate sincerely and make companies such as Nokia and Motorola unable to hold their heads high is their cooperation on the app store. Once they have conflicts, it will cause violent turmoil in the app store. I'm afraid
The Android Mall will be so happy that it makes me laugh in my dreams." - Reuters commentator Carlton.
"To put it bluntly, the dispute this time is about the uneven distribution of interests. Samsung and Apple believe that their contributions are far greater than the 5% share performance, and they should each get at least 20%! But Xiao Qi doesn't think this should be the case.
He established the Lai app store by himself, and the various patents he owns also belong to his personal name. Secondly, Lai Fairy Company will soon release Dreamsnow. Needless to say, we have high expectations for this mid-range smartphone.
Its sales are as good as expected, so Xiao Qi will not give in! Gang leader Qiao and Li Jianxi have taken a fancy to this time and are here to discuss it now!" - Singapore Straits Times.
"It's a pity that Xiao Qi no longer accepts new partners. According to our information, not only Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, HTC, and even Microsoft and Google have tried to obtain some shares of the app store, but Xiao Qi has rejected them all.
.We are very confused about this. Why does Xiao Qi refuse to let more people jointly strengthen the camp of smart electronic applications? Does he think that only Samsung, Apple and Fairy Company can dominate the world?
Now Xiao Qi has only gained a slight lead. The further it goes, the more it will test the comprehensive strength of a company. These three companies will definitely not be able to compare with the Android camp headed by Google and the Windows camp headed by Microsoft!
It’s time to appeal to Mr. Xiao Qi to let go of your narrow-mindedness and let people in the world who love smart electronics enjoy more apps!” - This is what CBS, which is purely paid, said.
"..."
All in all, the journalists who were paid and those who were not paid were making a lot of comments and expressing their own opinions. It was a lot of fun.
An issue about the distribution of company shares actually attracted the arrival of hundreds of reporters, triggering a wave of debates around the world. This was something that a group of giants in the capital did not expect.
On weekdays, when the government wants to convene a meeting, it has to notify others before they send reporters over. And it is usually just a courtesy from the official media of various countries. Whether it will be reported or not is hard to say.
Nowadays, Fairy Company's affairs don't even need to be blown. Countless reporters come over and report eagerly. Moreover, Fairy Company doesn't give any face at all. They refuse all requests for interviews and don't reveal anything. On the contrary, it triggers
They are more speculative and excited.
Xiao Qi himself did not care about these reporters. Negotiations are a very confidential matter. If reporters get involved, it will not be suitable for the negotiations between the three parties.
So after the formal negotiation, he went home, either to Huangfu Cai's place or to Yu Shanshan's place, but the car he took changed. After letting his Mercedes-Benz fleet drive around for two times, he got into an ordinary Buick.
The car left the company but was not discovered by reporters.
Of course, one and a half days of negotiation does not mean that there are no results.
That is, everyone knows the other party's needs and the other party's possible bottom line.
Apart from negotiations, Xiao Qi, Gang Leader Qiao and Li Jianxi should think about whether they should make some concessions and how much concessions are appropriate.
Therefore, even though the formal negotiation has ended, the three of them have actually been thinking about the negotiation in their minds and are constantly narrowing the differences between them.
On the third day of the negotiation, there was a lot of wrangling, but in the end the three parties finally reached an agreement that everyone agreed with.
Fairy Company transfers 7% of the shares of the app store to Apple and 5% of the shares to Samsung. The specific price that Samsung and Apple need to pay will be discussed and decided by the tripartite delegation later.
Xiao Qi was not transferred in vain.
He has requirements for this. For example, if Apple fails to achieve its annual sales target of more than 30 million smart electronic products by the end of 2011, it will transfer 2% of its appstore shares to Xiao Qi at the current purchase price.
Samsung's requirements are even more stringent. As of 2011, the annual sales volume of smart electronic products must exceed 40 million units. Otherwise, 1% of the appstore shares will be transferred to Xiao Qi at the current purchase price.
Gang Leader Qiao cannot say that he is particularly satisfied with this result, but it is still a bit more than his minimum requirement. He holds a total of 12% of the shares of the app store. At this stage, he is already quite satisfied.
Li Jianxi is much happier.
Because this time he only wanted to get 5% of the appstore shares.
It's a pity that Xiao Qi was not fooled and did not agree to his gambling agreement, otherwise he would still have hope to get another 2% and tie Apple again.
But on the other hand, Xiao Qi has put a shackles on both Samsung and Apple. Once the two companies fail to work hard to develop smart electronic products and continue to expand the number of users, they will have to spit out the shares in the App Store.
On the surface, Xiao Qi was the only one who suffered the loss this time.
But Xiao Qi himself doesn’t see it that way. Not to mention that the AppStore shares will definitely sell for a sky-high price, just to further increase the alliance partnership between Fairy Company and Apple and Samsung is enough to make Xiao Qi very happy.
If at this time, before their output has exploded, Apple and Samsung are determined to start a new business and build an app mall, then in a few years, although they will not be as prosperous as in their previous lives, they can still become giants.
But they missed this time. With the explosive growth of smart products from Apple, Samsung and Fairy, and the appstore user base skyrocketed again, Samsung and Apple never had any thoughts of leaving.
Tying two smart electronics companies that are destined to be prosperous for decades to the Fairy Company's chariot will definitely have huge benefits for Fairy Company's dominance in the smart electronics industry and for sharing various pressures! (To be continued
