Chapter 791 How to keep your treasure?
Because of piracy and other reasons, Jobs didn't have a good impression of the Chinese, which Xiao Qi knew.
But on the other hand, according to Jobs' pride, he didn't even bother to do anything against the Chinese just because he didn't like the Chinese.
For example, the sales of iPhones and iPads in the previous life were lagging behind. Most of the reasons were due to the poor 3G network construction in China. He was afraid of affecting the product experience of users, so he delayed entering China.
Although he seemed to be scolding Xiao Qi now, in fact, he just wanted to see Xiao Qi's reaction.
If Xiao Qi disagrees and still emphasizes the importance of making money, then Jobs will change his original intention and switch to other ideas.
Jobs thought that Xiao Qi was someone who could sell everything for money, but he also didn't want him to be so miserable, because the genius who could create the dreampad should definitely not have a mind like this.
The young man didn't know Gang Leader Qiao's conflicting feelings, but he knew what he should do.
"No matter how good the treasure is, it is not a one-time consumable. Fairy Company is like a child walking through the market with jewelry, surrounded by men who are looking at him." Xiao Qi looked at Jobs calmly: "Stephen
Can you teach me what I should do to protect my treasure?"
After a while of silence, a faint smile appeared on Jobs's serious face.
Xiao Qi's metaphor is very clear. The men who stare covetously can represent not only major electronics manufacturers, but also the electronics industry systems of various countries.
If the young man wants to develop further and keep the treasure of the Dreampad app store, it will definitely be very, very difficult.
Jobs had thought about two possibilities before. Rather than selling access passes to make money, what Xiao Qi meant now was more in line with Jobs' conjecture.
"You mean, Samsung will be your helper to help you resist the prying eyes of others?" Jobs couldn't help but sneered, "With all due respect, Mr. Xiao, I think you are a smart and talented young man, but you choose an alliance."
When it comes to choosing a partner, my vision is a bit poor."
"First, Samsung's future development will definitely surprise everyone. Second, if I choose a powerful helper like Apple, I'm worried that I will be swallowed up by Apple in the end!" Xiao Qi said bluntly.
Jobs was speechless for a moment.
The collapse of many large companies begins from within.
Jobs indeed had great ambitions to annex this treasure of the Dreampad app store, and he wanted to gradually annex it.
Now that Xiao Qi pointed it out so bluntly, even though Steve Jobs was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
At the same time, he also agreed with Xiao Qi's views on Samsung's development.
Backed by the strength of the whole country, South Korea's Samsung will inevitably embark on the road of electronic expansion in the future. As an electronics and economic and trade power, South Korea has cultivated the giant Samsung not to deliver food to people in the world, but
They were raised to eat people!
Even now, Samsung, which controls many key hardware R&D and production links, has begun its own efforts to rise around the world.
Jobs would never underestimate this opponent, but he was willing to let Xiao Qi underestimate Samsung and endure hardships.
"No matter what happens to Samsung in the future, there is no way out for the current weak alliance." Jobs said sternly: "The purpose of my coming to you, Mr. Xiao, I think you also know... Apple wants to invest in the Dreampad app store.
I purchased 60% of the shares of Dreampad App Store for US$30 billion, and promised Fairy Company to have its permanent use and sharing rights. What do you think?"
Xiao Qi laughed dumbly.
Of course, it was impossible for Steve Jobs to acquire shares in the Dreampad app store, because as of 2007, Apple's market value was only about 100 billion, and Steve Jobs certainly could not come up with cash worth 30% of the shares.
The reason why I say this is just to pave the way for subsequent negotiations.
To put it bluntly, Jobs wanted to obtain the sharing rights of the Dreampad app store at the lowest cost.
"If Apple is willing to acquire it for US$30 billion, then I can give 30% of the shares." Xiao Qi responded seriously.
"Um?"
Jobs sneered: "Do you think a Dreampad app store can be compared with Apple?"
"The current Apple company is only worth so much. But the Dreampad app store has unlimited growth potential." Xiao Qi said lightly: "But the iPhone is also a good thing. If you are willing to exchange it for equal value, we can use it.
How about exchanging the rights and interests of iPhones on a one-for-one basis?”
"Go ahead and dream!" Jobs scolded, "You bastard, what are you thinking about? Even if you exchange it for a dreampad, it's impossible!"
The iPhone is his unique weapon that opened a new chapter for Apple. How could he sell it to people?
Xiao Qi laughed and said, "That's right. You are not willing to sell your beloved one, so am I willing to do it?"
Jobs sneered and said: "It's really troublesome to negotiate with you, so tell me straight to the point, how can we let Apple enjoy the same rights as Samsung?"
"I hope to get more patent licensing exchanges from Apple." Xiao Qi took out a folded paper from his arms and handed it to Jobs.
Li Jianxi needed to have specialized technical personnel look at the information, but Jobs didn't need to because he had seen every Apple patent.
After briefly looking at the projects listed above, Jobs said thoughtfully: "Is your next step going to be a mobile phone?"
The patents requested by Xiao Qi include many things including underlying protocol patents. Even Samsung does not own these patents, but the iPhone does.
If you want to make dreamstars, you need to constantly purchase various patents. Apple, a major patent owner, can just meet Xiao Qi's needs.
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded.
"We can discuss and decide on these, but Apple also needs DreamPad patents." Jobs said calmly: "For specific projects, the financial and patent departments of the two companies will discuss and study them together."
Needless to say, Xiao Qi also knew that Apple’s next step was the iPad.
This time the patent exchange between the two is not just as many as the original one hundred or so, but at least thousands of patent exchanges have to be designed. This kind of in-depth cooperation far exceeds the previous "Smart Patent Alliance".
