Chapter 196: Do you want to take advantage of it?
Jobs looked at Zhou Ming blankly. He didn't understand what it means to be able to bb. After all, is there any such statement in this era? But even if there is, Jobs, as an American, seems to be unable to understand. However, he still understood the words he gave to him. It was precisely this that surprised Jobs: Does he want to turn this situation around with his mouth?
This is undoubtedly a big joke, but what puzzled Jobs was his intuition telling him that Zhou Ming could indeed do it.
Just when Jobs was extremely entangled, Zhou Ming suddenly shouted to everyone: A group of waste, please shut up, I brought you money
Zhou Ming's swearing made everyone in the conference room stunned at that time. They looked at Zhou Ming in disbelief. No one expected that Zhou Ming would scold others without saying a word. And the most important thing is that he came to discuss cooperation today. How dare he be so arrogant? It seems that he is so confident. Both parties are wrong. What does it mean to bring money in the last sentence?
Faced with the puzzled expression that everyone has not yet come back to their senses, Zhou Ming said: The US dollar is the official certification of the United States and even the world. It is the only currency that is common in the United States. This may be a difficult financial term, but in the United States, no matter whether we eat, live, buy a car, we must use the US dollar. Any company that wants to pay employees, distribute dividends to shareholders, and expand reproduction is inseparable from the US dollar.
If Zhou Ming's previous slander was a frightening person, then Zhou Ming's words confused everyone at this time, because no one understood what he was talking about. The people sitting here were big capitalists. Don't they know what the US dollar is? Do you also want you, a Chinese who doesn't know where they came from, teach them what the US dollar is?
I know you must not understand what I am talking about. So let me put it simply. What I mean is that I have a huge sum of tens of millions of dollars on me now. Do you want to take it away? Zhou Ming asked.
There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone was a little excited. After all, no one doesn’t like money. Even the shareholders of Aipai Company with a net worth of at least ten million in the conference room, they and Aipai Company are not short of ten million, but they don’t mind asking for more than ten million.
However, as CEO John reacted immediately and said to Zhou Ming: This is Mr. Zhou Ming from Jeko, right? If I understand correctly, what you mean by bringing money refers to what Mr. Jobs mentioned just now, is it absurd thing that asks you to spend 10 million to buy the core technology of Aipai Company? If this is the case, then I will tell you very responsibly that this is impossible.
With John's words, there was another laughter in the conference room, and some people even yelled: That's right, don't think about doing that, we won't betray our core technology even if we die. You'll have to die with that traitor, get out of the door.
Zhou Ming just shrugged indifferently and said: So I want to say Mr. John, you misunderstood. Neither me nor Mr. Jobs had the idea of buying core technology.
So that's the case? John asked meaningfully, then Mr. Zhou Ming's meaning is that you only need to place a position in the Science and Technology Exhibition, and do not need any technical support from our Aipai Company. So I think you should discuss this matter with Fortie Company. They are the organizers of the Science and Technology Exhibition, and we are just participating companies.
Zhou Ming did not directly answer John's ridicule, but said to him directly: I think Mr. John, you must have never heard of a story. This story tells a pig. He always likes to interrupt others, or rush to express his opinions if he only listens to half of what others say. Then the pig was very disgusting, and in the end he was beaten to death.
Although Zhou Ming's story was full of no end, when he finished speaking, everyone in the conference room burst into laughter. Obviously they all heard it. Zhou Ming's story was not a story, it was clearly accusing John of interrupting his dissatisfaction.
Of course John himself understood. His face was flushed with anger, but he had no choice but to blame Zhou Ming. In the end, he could only accuse Zhou Ming: Can you, you, have the upper hand only by this boring insult?
I'm sorry, I don't want to do this, but for people like you, if I don't do this, I'm afraid you won't sit down and listen to me with peace of mind, right?
Zhou Ming said casually, which attracted everyone's laughter. John had never met someone like Zhou Ming in his life, so he didn't know how to fight back. He could only mutter that he was such an incompetent bastard. If you can't tell the result, how I would deal with you. As a result, this sentence became the target of others laughing at him again.
Zhou Ming raised his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: I know everyone is worried that the cooperation between Jeko and Aipai Company may trigger Jeko to steal the core technology of Aipai Company, but I want to say that this is absolutely nonsense. I don’t mean that Jako does not need all the services provided by Aipai Company, but the service content I talked about before was not so rich.
So what is your cooperation content this time, Ball, chairman of Aipai Company, asked on behalf of John.
When Zhou Ming heard the question from this person who was in charge of the life and death power of Aipai Company, he knew that the topic was coming, so he quickly sorted out his ideas and replied: Let you take advantage of it.
This sentence started with aroused everyone's curiosity. Zhou Ming then continued: Our Jieke Company needs to participate in this Futai Technology Exhibition, but we have no good projects that we can do, so we must find other large companies to cooperate with. Aipai Company is our first choice.
Of course, I advocate that cooperation with Aipai Company is not a kind of all-round cooperation. To a greater extent, we only need to quickly expand our popularity through this technology exhibition. Therefore, Aipai Company only needs to provide us with the concept products that you are not sure about the market reaction. We are responsible for helping you see the market reactions at this technology exhibition.
Zhou Ming paused for a moment and then continued to tell the story: I know that for a large company like Aipai Company, in order to maintain its product vitality, there will definitely be many research projects being carried out at the same time, but whether these projects can be turned into products and finally launched for the market requires a lot of courage. After all, no one can predict the market. If the product responds poorly in the market, then consumers will in turn scold Aipai Company, so whenever the company launches a new product, it is actually a thrilling gambling.
Zhou Ming supported the table with both hands, and in a more oppressive posture, he said finally: So now, why not let another company help you with such gambling?
If the market response of the product is very good, you can launch it with the trend. On the contrary, if the market response of the product is very bad, then the product is exhibited at Jieke Company. This is just a cooperative exhibition and will not have any negative impact on you, right? Zhou Ming raised his hands, one hand is better than the other hand is worse than the bad, and he said to everyone vividly.
Zhou Ming's words made everyone's eyes shine. It is indeed as Zhou Ming said, there are many research projects in Aipai Company, but it still takes a lot of courage to turn these research projects into products.
This is a difficult problem that every company has to face. The kind of thing that can become a product and is very popular in the market in the end. It only exists in the world. In reality, no matter the launch of any product, no matter what the final response, it must have been researched for a long time and abandoned many other solutions.
This is especially obvious in large companies. Just like the personal computers launched by Aipai, behind the successful market-capture models and configurations, there are at least a hundred abandoned models and configurations. There are also many models and configurations and software, Aipai has not even introduced them to the market, because they think they are not mature enough and are uncertain about the market reaction.
Now, if you can launch it into the market through Jieke Company, you can solve this problem well? If you succeed, you will be your own. If you fail, you can blame Jieke Company. What a best of both worlds.
Faced with such obvious advantage, everyone seemed a little eager to be excited, but since they were just directors, they were not in a hurry to speak, just waiting for the decision of CEA John and Chairman Ball.
In this situation, how can the chairman speak first?
Ball looked at John and waited for him to speak first, and John understood this, but he was now struggling. Judging from Zhou Ming's words, this is indeed a cooperation worth trying. In fact, many other companies are doing this, but his intuition is constantly reminding him that he must not do this.
As a qualified professional manager, John decided to learn more about it. He asked Zhou Ming: What is your purpose and why did you choose such a cooperation method?
In order to quickly expand our brand awareness, we must choose big-name companies to cooperate. And you are worried about the market's response to products because you pay attention to brands, but we are completely different. Our brand is completely different from Aipai, right? Zhou Ming said.
John was silent for a long time and said: Then even if your budget is just a concept product that has not been released, it is also the research result of Aipai Company.
Zhou Ming raised a finger: I just said, I will give you 10 million, but you are responsible for it. It is not limited to all the technical services of Jieke Company at this exhibition. If there are technical services for subsequent projects, Aipai Company must also be responsible for it.
Then what about patent rights John asked again.
Zhou Ming smiled: I don’t think there is any need to ask this question at all, because I don’t think Aipai Company will sell any patents, and I also have no idea of embezzling Aipai Company’s patents, even if they are just some patents that you don’t need. For this reason, we can also sign a contract to stipulate them one by one in the form of words.
After saying that, Zhou Ming stared at John's eyes and asked finally: Do you have any questions now?
John felt the huge oppression from Zhou Ming. He took a deep breath, quickly analyzed it in his mind, and then nodded to the chairman next to him.
After getting John's answer, Ball stood up with a smile and said: Mr. Zhou Ming, I think we can start talking about the next cooperation details between Aipai and Jeco.
