"Joe's suddenly very tough, he must have gotten some kind of card. And why are Charles and Kidd so tough? Did they both get their cards too?" Xu Zhenming was surprised.
It seemed to him that Joe Gangmaster, Charles and Kidd, who had this change, must have contacted headquarters during the halftime changeover and got a promise from some person or organization. Otherwise they wouldn't have been so emboldened.
But what could it do? They can't force it to be bought and sold.
Xu Zhenming at this time is also confident, if with ARM and Apple can not reach a deal, he can terminate this negotiation, first with the two companies' competitors, to create pressure on the Qiao gang master and Charles and others.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming did not immediately respond to the pressure of the Qiao gang master and Charles, but glanced towards Liu Jing, and passed a wink to Liu Jing.
Liu Jing was impressed.
"Mr. Jobs and Mr. Charles. Regarding the terms of this aspect of Xiangjiang Zhitong's shareholding in ARM and Apple Computer, we will not budge. For one, we don't need money; secondly, these two companies don't have any patent technology that can be taken advantage of. Therefore, I suggest that we suspend the negotiations first and everyone calm down."
Liu Jing proposed to terminate the negotiations immediately because she was going to contact a company in Mi and a company in Canada and was going to license the technology of the big data system to these two companies.
This kind of spare tire plan is the norm in multinational business negotiations, and there are even many kinds of spare tire plans. All of the business practices of large corporations are profit-oriented, and the business plans have been well thought out when they are formulated.
Master Qiao was very familiar with this kind of routine, so naturally he would not screw up today's negotiations. But he was confused by Liu Jing's statement, "Xu Zhenming doesn't want money, he must get shares of Apple Computer and ARM. What kind of reason is this for?"
Unwittingly, Qiao was led to believe that Xu Zhenming was now very concerned about his shares in Apple Computer and ARM, and not so much about the patented technology of these two companies. In addition, Xu Zhenming is not short of money.
"Minister Liu, Mr. Xu Zhenming, we think our differences are not that big, and we can continue to discuss. For example, we at Apple Computer can make appropriate concessions and increase the amount of cash, we are willing to deal with 500 million US dollars in cash..."
After thinking about this, Clan Master Qiao took a slight step back and raised the cash payment amount.
His signal for this concession was caught just in time by Xu Zhenming. Xu Zhenming had been able to determine that Gang Master Qiao had gotten financial outside assistance during the intermission.
"Mr. Jobs. In principle, we are able to make concessions again. For example, if your company licenses a portion of the patented technology to us again, we can continue with this negotiation. But we can't continue the negotiations endlessly, we should set a point in time!"
Xu Zhenming made a very embarrassed face and offered to ask Apple Computer to transfer the 3D display chip technology it was developing.
This request is also very unreasonable!
You know, Apple Computer's specialty is in the field of graphics workstations. If this kind of key technology is transferred to Xiangjiang Zhitong Company, how can Qiao gangmaster later lead Apple Computer Company to continue to go?
"No, that's impossible." Joe was shaking his head straight in excitement, his hands waving.
He had restrained himself very much in order to be able to continue the negotiations in a friendly atmosphere. Even though Xu Zhenming wanted his lifeblood's technology, he didn't attack.
But in order to appease Xu Zhenming, the Qiao gang leader took a step back and was ready to license the first-generation Apple display chip architecture, display algorithms and other patented technologies to Xiangjiang Zhitong Company.
In his view, these already backward patented technologies are actually useless, just a jammed competitor's threshold.
And this state is exactly what Xu Zhenming expected, a ming group of companies need the authorization of these patent technology to make up for the short board.
Because the development is too fast, because the time is short, a ming group company has been walking on one leg, need to get a large number of patent technology to supplement the short board.
Now well, Qiao gangmaster finally stopped treating those backward technologies as treasures and started to make proper concessions. Xu Zhenming naturally had to take advantage of the victory to catch up. He let Liu Jing preside over the negotiations, and from time to time, he made concessions to reduce the percentage of Apple Computer's shareholding, but got more and more patent technology.
It wasn't long before Liu Jing finally reached a preliminary agreement with Master Qiao.
For one, Xiangjiang Zhitong Company will obtain a series of patent licenses from Apple Computer for CPU architecture system, CPU instruction set system, CPU operation logic unit system, register logic unit system and so on.
These technologies have actually lagged behind, and Joe is working on a new CPU, the various technologies are much more advanced than the ones to be transferred.
Secondly, the company will get graphics processing algorithm technology, display chip technology, part of the operating system patent technology from Apple Computer.
The third is very important, Xiangjiang Zhitong company will get Apple Computer 5% of the shares and 1 billion U.S. dollars in cash. The price Xu Zhenming paid was to license the big data system technology and Core generation PDA technology to Apple Computer.
In this way, Xu Zhenming was equivalent to creating a powerful competitor for himself out of thin air. Although he still held the stock of this competitor and was one of the major shareholders of this company. But once this deal was signed, Yiming Group's development would be an order of magnitude more difficult.
This was exactly what Xu Zhenming wanted to see. Without competition, the team of the Yiming Group Company had no motivation to move forward. With no man's land ahead, would the Mickey Mouse guys have to suppress the Yiming Group of Companies in advance? In another time and place, the treatment of Hua for the company and the encounter of Zhongxin Company, Xu Zhenming knew all about it.
With the forewarning as a reference, it would be unforgivable if Xu Zhenming still made mistakes on this layout. Therefore, he was very satisfied with this kind of trading scheme.
"I wish us fruitful cooperation. Happy cooperation!" Gang Master Qiao did the same, smiling as he shook hands with Xu Zhenming and signed the strategic cooperation agreement.
Clan Master Qiao was very satisfied with the outcome of such negotiations!
He got two of the most advanced technologies in the world right now for only $1 billion and 5% of the stock, and Apple Computer will soon be producing Apple Core generation PDAs and will have no problem surviving.
That's not the most important.
As soon as the news reaches the rice country, Apple Computer's stock will soar, no problem to double or triple.
Not only that, the people of Mi would also treat him as a hero. There weren't many people in the world who could take advantage of Xu Zhenming's hands.
If he wasn't a hero, who was?
As for the patented technology that was transferred out to be phased out, Joe didn't even care.
Negotiating a strategic partnership agreement with Apple Computer, the ARM agreement is very simple to follow this model.
The end result was as follows.
One of them is that Xiangjiang Zhitong will hold 33% of ARM's shares, officially becoming the real major shareholder of ARM, and as for which consortium will divide the remaining shares, there is no conclusion yet.
This alone, Xu Zhenming thought it was well worth it.
Perhaps he could also create a miracle, in the near future, the Yiming Group of Companies would have two CPU series systems at the same time!
"Joe's suddenly very tough, he must have gotten some kind of card. And why are Charles and Kidd so tough? Did they both get their cards too?" Xu Zhenming was surprised.
It seemed to him that Joe Gangmaster, Charles and Kidd, who had this change, must have contacted headquarters during the halftime changeover and got a promise from some person or organization. Otherwise they wouldn't have been so emboldened.
