- From the first-generation iphone to the current iphone3gs, and then to the iphone4 currently being designed by Apple, Jobs basically focused on the design, production and sales of mobile phones throughout the process.
So he has a very good understanding of every hardware of the mobile phone.
Since Apple wants to be the best mobile phone in the world, of course it will use the best hardware in the world.
Therefore, Apple chose to let Samsung represent its own chips, and also used Sony's camera, and used the memory and storage of several top global brands such as Samsung, Hynix, and Toshiba.
Jobs used to think that the mobile phone hardware manufacturers purchased by Apple should be the best and top hardware manufacturers in the world.
Therefore, even if Jobs had heard about the hardware of Changtian Technology before, and heard that carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal storage were amazing, Jobs just listened to it and didn't take it too seriously.
But today is different. Today Jobs got an iPhone in his hand.
This iPhone is produced by Apple, but not by Apple.
Because most of the hardware of this mobile phone has been improved by Changtian Technology, and Changtian Technology's hardware has been installed.
Jobs just played with the mobile phone for a while and he knew it clearly, compared with Changtian Technology's carbon-based memory, carbon crystal storage, camera and lithium battery.
The hardware purchased by Apple in the past is not at the same level as Changtian Technology.
The two parties are not just one or two generations behind in terms of craftsmanship, but decades behind.
If the iphone can use the hardware of Changtian Technology, Jobs can be sure that the sales of the iphone will explode, and it may become the best-selling mobile phone in the world in a short period of six months or a year.
But if applestore ownership is sacrificed in order to achieve this goal, is this a good deal or not? Jobs felt that he had to seriously consider it.
The most important point is that Changtian Technology has just agreed to provide Apple with the most advanced hardware in the world within 1 to 3 years. Even if Changtian Technology cooperates with other mobile phone companies in the future, these mobile phone companies will not be able to buy the same advanced hardware as Apple. hardware.
This condition is indeed quite attractive.
Moreover, one of the most attractive features of Changtian Technology's hardware is its strong performance and light weight, which can solve the problem of mutual exclusion of performance, weight and volume during the design process of iphone4.
? The Apple team who were bluffing just now were collectively silenced.
Jobs smiled and handed the mobile phone in his hand to the team around him, asking them to use it to see its performance.
Sure enough, as everyone tried to use mobile phones, many people's faces changed.
Because they think that the iPhone remade by Changtian Technology is the real iPhone in everyone's ideal.
Jobs didn't answer Chen Xiao's question immediately, but discussed it and said: "Mr. Chen, can you give us 1-2 days, and we will give you the answer in the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
In fact, negotiation is like this. When a person hesitates and struggles with whether to agree to your conditions, the negotiation is basically successful.
Chen Xiao smiled and said to Jobs: "Mr. Jobs, during this period of time, the autumn air is crisp and the night in Changzezhou is also very beautiful. You can stay at the Mochizuki Hotel for a few more days, and at night you will be able to see the bright moon and Galaxy."
The final meaning is actually to agree with Jobs' suggestion and give Jobs two days for them to think.
The finance team returned to the hotel immediately, and they will have a meeting to evaluate the gains and losses of cooperation with Changtian Technology.
After waiting for Jobs to leave, Wang Xiang was still very puzzled.
Because they are also mobile phone companies, why is Chen Xiao willing to sell the hardware to Jobs, but not to htc? After all, Zhou Ming of htc is still waiting for the answer from Changtian Technology in Suzhou and Hangzhou at this time. He had fully agreed to the conditions given by Chen Xiao.
Wang Xiang couldn't help asking this question.
Chen Xiao said, "There are two reasons."
"The first reason is that Apple is unique. Apple's ios system is unique in the world, and its ecology has begun to show its prominence."
"Even without the addition of Changtian Technology hardware, Apple will surely be successful."
"And htc uses the Android system, which is an open system that can be used not only by Samsung, Motorola, but also by future mobile phone companies."
"Currently the sales of htc's several mobile phones are relatively good, butAfter the meeting, we returned to the hotel.
Similarly, when the staff of Changtian Technology left the meeting room, the media also came forward to ask questions, hoping to get some news about the negotiations.
However, there was also no high-level statement to the media.
In the end, under the escort of the security guards, all the senior leaders of Changtian Technology also left the venue.
However, the media keenly felt that the faces of the masters of Changtian Technology were more or less smiling, which was in stark contrast to the sad and serious Apple team.
After returning to the hotel, Jobs immediately held a meeting, turned on the video, and held a meeting with the directors of Apple headquarters in the United States through encrypted channels.
At this time, it is still the early morning time in the United States, but this matter is of great importance, and the team in the United States will not mind whether it is time to have a meeting or sleep at this time.
Jobs' opening remarks were; "What are you talking about?"
The high-level people were discussing in a hurry.
Those who agree state the reason for agreeing, and those who disagree state the reason for objection.
After 5 hours of discussion and detailed calculations using a specific model in the United States.
?Apple¡¯s think tank team in the United States has judged that by cooperating with Changtian Technology, Apple¡¯s profit in the next year will be 80% higher than the previous calculation of 50%.
If this kind of cooperation lasts for three years, and there is no more advanced product than Changtian Technology hardware in the world, then Apple's sales and net profit will be 1~2 times higher than the previous team's estimate.
The simulated data is amazing.
In comparison, it is actually quite cost-effective for Applestore to become an independent subsidiary and invite Changtian Technology to become a shareholder.
It was already 7:00 in the morning of Xia Guo, and the meeting lasted for fifteen hours.
Apple's team was exhausted, and the think tank team in the United States also stayed up all night.
Jobs does things vigorously and vigorously, without any sloppiness.
After the matter was confirmed, Jobs immediately asked the accompanying personnel to draft a cooperation plan, which was to be submitted to Changtian Technology later this afternoon.
In order to ensure the smooth cooperation and reach relevant agreements as soon as possible.
After Apple drafted the plan in English, it sent the plan to the U.S. headquarters, and asked the U.S. headquarters to immediately hire a professional translation team to translate the plan into Chinese.
Later in the afternoon, Apple submitted the cooperation agreement.
Apple fully agrees with the request made by Changtian Technology, and is willing to make Applestore an independent subsidiary, and invites Changtian Technology to invest 50% of the shares.
In addition, Apple also confirmed that applestore will be the only application supplier store for iphone and ios systems.
Apple requires Changtian Technology to provide some advanced hardware products, and guarantees that the most advanced products will not be provided to other third-party technology companies.
Apple also asked Changtian Technology to only cooperate with Apple and not to sell hardware to other companies.
However, Jobs also knew about this proposal, and it was just a talk. If it could be negotiated, it would be fine if it couldn't be discussed, and of course it couldn't be discussed.
On the second day, Jobs and Chen Xiao jointly signed a three-year cooperation agreement in the academic lecture hall of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Changtian Technology, and after the expiration of the three-year cooperation agreement, Apple has the priority to sign.
This means that it is the first time that Xiaguo capital has entered a mobile phone (technology) company in the United States at such a deep level.
When Jobs signed the cooperation agreement, he also let out a long sigh of relief.
This time, in cooperation with Changtian Technology, all the hardware will be prepared for the iphone4, and Jobs will rush back to the United States without stopping to redesign the iphone4.
Under the spotlight of the global media, the two parties signed and shook hands to celebrate.
Jobs jokingly said to Chen Xiao: "Mr. Chen, we hope that your company can provide the first batch of 100,000 pieces of hardware within three months."
Jobs has calculated this time in detail, and three months later will be January next year.
At that time, the iphone4 mobile phone had completed all the designs and entered the mass production stage.
After all, Jobs predicts that next spring or summer, the iphone4 will be released and sold publicly. If the hardware comes later, it will not be able to catch up with the production of iphone4.
Jobs originally thought that his request would put some pressure on Changtian Technology.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, we have prepared and packed the 100,000 pieces of hardware, and we will go to the United States with your plane."
The speed of Changtian Technology is actually so fast!
Jobs was stunned for a full 5 seconds. He suddenly felt that if he put some pressure on Changtian Technology, could Apple still get better negotiation terms??Ready and packed, will go to the United States with your plane. "
The speed of Changtian Technology is actually so fast!
Jobs was stunned for 5 seconds. He suddenly felt that if he put some pressure on Changtian Technology, could Apple get better negotiation terms? - Didn't finish reading?
