Wang Zhengyu is very lucky.[

His luck is actually attributed to Microsoft's sudden expansion. To put it more specifically, it was a series of chain reactions that followed by the action of spending $12 billion to invest in Morita Energy.

For example, if it weren't for Microsoft's sudden outrage, Apple might not have been so anxious to win the premium version of Chinese language.

The reason is very simple. Microsoft's new mobile smart products with new fuel cells must be the first to compete for the relatively high-end market. When developing, mobile smart devices are naturally the kind of products that are highly configured, efficient, and targeted at high-end user groups.

This user group obviously has a great overlap with the Apple user group. It is true that Apple fans are very loyal, but the brainless Apple fans are only a few. Most rational high-end consumers value the high efficiency of the Apple system and the convenience and good user experience brought to them by the Apple online store.

When Microsoft's products were put on the market, the epoch-making battery could completely bid farewell to the charging era by mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. The impact of this temptation on Apple may be obvious. You should know that Apple's mobile phones have always been criticized for not disabling batteries.

So Microsoft's big moves did put great pressure on Apple.

Microsoft is an international large company like Apple, with mature channels and rich experience. Microsoft even has a longer history than Apple. If Apple's battery is not as good as Microsoft and is eliminated in the application market, how should Apple handle itself?

Should we change our marketing strategies and avoid their edge to seize the low-end market?

Apple executives, including Cook, probably wouldn't even dare to think about this method. Those crazy Apple fans will definitely not agree. So if they really do this, then they are very likely to lose the most loyal part of their users.

Competitors of the same strength, the same products, are targeted at the same customer base! If Apple does not have a sense of crisis, then this company is really not suitable to survive on the earth.

Therefore, it can be said that Apple even needs to obtain the advanced version of Chinese language than Microsoft. If a more advanced system version can be developed through this intelligent language, or smart software that is closer to user experience, it will be possible to have a fight with Microsoft's future mobile products.

Cook knew the embarrassment faced by Apple, and Wang Zhengyu could naturally think that no one was a fool.

So when he heard Cook ask this question, Wang Zhengyu, who had already been confident, immediately replied with a smile: "Of course, we are friendly partners, so the cooperation plan for Apple is naturally the most favorable. Mr. Cook, I think you will be very satisfied with the annual usage fee of the 8.5 billion US dollars of the Chinese Language Advanced Edition. Of course, like Microsoft, this 8.5 billion US dollars of annual usage fee includes 2,000 sets of activation codes for the Chinese Language Advanced Edition, as well as free software upgrade functions during the contract. We can also organize special personnel training. What do you think?"

I think if Tianshu Technology had not signed an agreement with Microsoft, Cook would have also been thinking of strangling Wang Zhengyu. You should know that a week ago, Wang Zhengyu's offer to the president of the Asia-Pacific region was only $5 billion in annual usage fee. Although there was no appointment to provide many premium versions of Chinese language at that time, it would definitely be enough for Apple to use.

However, with Microsoft as the foundation, the asking price is really a friendly price. If you sell the same thing to Microsoft for 10 billion, you will get 15% off, and you will save 1.5 billion directly. This is definitely worth it.

Or because of this reason, Cook did not show any surprise or unacceptable expression, and seemed very calm. He even smiled and said gently: "Mr. Li Yulei, president of Apple China, seemed to have communicated with Chairman Wang not long ago about the cooperation on the advanced version of China Language."

Wang Zhengyu was naturally prepared for this issue. He spoke up and said arrogantly: "I wonder if Mr. Cook knows the old Chinese saying that one is called one time and another. The situation was different at that time. The most important thing is that the company had not fully agreed on the price of the software at that time, so he only gave President Li a estimation offer! Besides, we are friends, Apple should consider it for us. It is impossible to sell it to Microsoft at a sky-high price. If you sell it to you, it will be a big discount. In this way, the future business will be difficult!"

What Wang Zhengyu didn't expect was that when the translator translated what he felt was shameless, Cook nodded in agreement, and even had a gentleman smile on his face.

"Chairman Wang is right, friends cannot make things difficult for each other!" Cook first agreed, but after saying these words that made Wang Zhengyu feel incredible, Cook turned to it: "But Apple does not have as many software developers as Microsoft. In fact, 1,200 high-end Chinese versions are enough for us to use. In this case, it seems that the annual usage fee of 8.5 billion US dollars is too high!"

"Old fox!" Wang Zhengyu cursed in his heart. He has been too proud these two days. He didn't expect that Cook suddenly started working on the number of advanced Chinese language versions.

Indeed, if Apple only needs 1,200 sets, the price of 8.5 billion US dollars is indeed a bit expensive. In addition, he just talked about the friendly relationship between the two companies, which gave Wang Zhengyu a headache for a while.

For Tianshu Technology, it doesn’t matter how many sets you want, and you can naturally get as many as your product activation code. However, when Cook spoke up about this question, Wang Zhengyu felt that it was too stupid to rashly agree to Microsoft’s request for two thousand sets the day before yesterday.

Various thoughts quickly turned in his mind, and Wang Zhengyu kept a smile and said, "Are you sure that 1,200 sets are enough?"

"Enough!" Cook said with a smile on his face.

In just one sentence, Wang Zhengyu took his attention and smiled and said seriously: "Then it's better. Given our previous cooperation, I will provide Apple with two solutions. The first one is as Mr. Cook asked. We provide Apple with 1,200 high-end versions of Chinese language to charge Apple for 5 billion annual usage fees. Other after-sales issues remain unchanged; the second one is still an annual usage fee of 8.5 billion US dollars, but we can provide your company with an additional eight months of software learning time, and within this six months we will send professional technicians to Apple to provide software usage guidance and technical support for your company's software developers at any time! Consider the two solutions!"

After saying that, Wang Zhengyu added: "You should be clear that as a Chinese-based computer language, the developers at your company's headquarters may have a lot of troubles to learn. Of course, I personally support any decision you make."

Wang Zhengyu naturally prefers Apple to choose the second plan, which is to achieve his goal of raising $20 billion to short Microsoft in the stock market.

In fact, if it weren't for the ice-core battery that had to be kept confidential, he could have taken out the ice-core battery as bait to lure Cook into submission. He believed that Cook would never refuse the temptation of the ice-core battery.

However, even if the ice-core battery cannot be thrown out, Wang Zhengyu felt that his second solution was quite attractive. The reason is, as he said, Hua Language is indeed too difficult for software developers at Apple headquarters.

The square characters are not that easy to recognize. If you want to thoroughly understand the usage of this Chinese language, you must at least learn all the command lines in the Chinese language, or at least understand the instructions for using each functional module.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Zhengyu is relieved to sell this language to Microsoft.

Although these two major companies can temporarily recruit programmers from China, there are not many top programmers in China, and most of them are high salaries in local Chinese companies. Even Tianshu Technology did not have significant results in poaching people some time ago, and programmers with slightly inferior technology may not meet the requirements of the two companies, not to mention that China's software developers have no understanding of the Western language habits and software usage habits;

Secondly, as the company's most important product R&D department, whether Microsoft or Apple can rest assured that programmers in China are a question, and they naturally prefer to allow their R&D personnel to study this language thoroughly.

What's more, Apple is not short of money.

Wang Zhengyu once saw a report that in order to evade the world's highest corporate tax, Apple accumulated more than 130 billion US dollars outside the country. This even caused dissatisfaction among the US president for a time.

Sure enough, when Wang Zhengyu gave this multiple-choice question to Cook, Cook began to hesitate and did not immediately express his opinion.

Wang Zhengyu was not in a hurry, but just sat there quietly waiting for Cook's reply. Anyway, the plan had been stated, so he could not interfere no matter how he chose it. However, even if Cook chose the former one, he would not feel discouraged. Five billion US dollars is not a small number. If Microsoft's investment in Morita Energy suddenly appeared, this would be his ideal price.

After a long time, Cook made up his mind to speak: "Chairman Wang, if your company can make some concessions on the price of the second plan, we can negotiate the second plan!"

"Make some concessions on the price?" Wang Zhengyu bent a corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Then what price do you think you can accept?"

"Eight billion US dollars! Still one thousand two hundred high-end versions of Chinese language. As friends, we can sign additional agreements without revealing the additional agreement. What do Chairman Wang think?" Cook said with a smile.

"Are you eight billion US dollars?" Wang Zhengyu touched his chin and thought. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
