281 I take you as a friend
"Okay, it seems we need to contact our partner with great powers!" Eric Schmier nodded, and after saying this, he directly waved his subordinates. ←,
To be honest, his curiosity has been completely aroused. He has even begun to regret Google's breach of contract at a critical moment about a year ago. Although it is understandable that merchants seek profits, they spent an extra billion dollars to obtain authorization, but this has brought some unpleasantness to the cooperation between Google and Prince of Tang Technology.
Now it seems that this loss of trust is even more annoying than the previous one. If there hadn't been any of the unpleasant things that brought about by this incident, perhaps he would have called Prince Wang immediately as a friend to inquire about what the new technology of Prince Datang's chips is, and to explore the tone of this Chinese.
However, when everyone lacks trust, Eric Schmidt knew very well that even if he made this call, he would probably not be able to find out any slightest. It was like the prince Wang suddenly visited Apple half a year ago, but he did not visit Google, which was also a partner. In fact, that time Eric Schmidt wanted to invite Prince Wang to go to Google's headquarters to take a walk, but the sudden appearance of F force made the idea go into nothing.
It is naturally even harder for him to speak. Last time he let the person go, it is impossible for him to come to the United States so soon. But who knew that the Tang Dynasty Prince Chip was about to hold a product launch conference in just half a year.
After thinking about it, Eric Schmidt gave up the idea of calling Prince Wang now. After all, it has not been a few days since the launch of the product of Prince Wang chips, and it is useless to know the technology of Prince Wang chips in a few days in advance. Why not wait until the launch conference and understand the value of the new product, and consider whether it is necessary to cooperate with Prince Wang chips in a deeper manner. Who made him very interested in all emerging high-tech?
However, just as Eric Schmidt made up his mind, the caller in the office suddenly rang. When he pressed the call button casually, the secretary outside the door sent a message that surprised him, "Mr. Schmidt. Mr. Wang, Secretary Wang of Huaxia Datang Crown Technology, called, and they Mr. Wang wanted to call you in five minutes."
"Okay, I happen to be free, so I can pick me up in five minutes." Eric Schmidt answered immediately.
However, five minutes later, after Eric Schmidt greeted Prince Wang, he was really shocked by the words of this Chinese. He even couldn't help but repeat the proposal of Prince Wang just now, "A billion dollar can help us upgrade Google's software products for the new generation of smartphones?"
"That's right, Mr. Schmidt, in order to successfully fulfill the eight-year contract we signed before and deepen our trust and cooperation with each other. I think this is a perfect idea."
"But Chairman Wang, you should know that Google has a group of the best software and hardware engineers in the world..."
"I know this very well, but even they can't keep up with the pace of the times in just three months. Please believe me, although Google's software can still be installed on our new products, it can no longer feel the perfect experience for users who are about to be conquered by our new technologies, but we can help Google do this. At the same time, in order to ensure the interests of our partners, we promise not to help other companies develop or upgrade software products similar to Google. What do you think?" Prince Wang's voice on the phone was full of temptation.
"Okay, then maybe Chairman Wang will talk to me in advance about where your new technology is? Why are you so sure to conquer all users?" Eric Schmidt asked straightforwardly after a moment of silence.
"I'm sorry, this question must be kept confidential for the time being. But the answer will not take long. The day after tomorrow will be our product launch conference. After the product launch conference, I promise you will feel that what I said today is not an exaggeration."
The Prince of King's mysterious words on the phone almost made Eric Schmidt hang up his phone directly.
What do you mean? It's 1.5 billion at a time, and you still have to keep new products confidential? Although Google has always been known for being rich and willful, you have to know whether the money is worth it, right?
"Haha, Mr. Wang is really good at joking. Are you sure that just one call can I successfully convince the board of directors to sign such a contract?" Eric Schmidt suppressed his inner entanglement and laughed dryly.
"This is not a business, but just a choice. Or give you a chance to gamble. Don't mention your company's board of directors to me. In my opinion, your company's board of directors is too short-sighted. Just think about it because of their tossing, Google paid an extra $1.5 billion to get our authorization. If I were you, I would definitely not be asking for their consent. In fact, with your control over Google, there are a hundred ways to bypass the board of directors to sign this contract. In addition, to be honest, this $1.5 billion is a friendly price. If you reject my proposal, maybe I can only find the next one, and Google can only be excluded for the time being. You should know that a new product that can subvert the entire market structure will be launched. Whose software can perfectly adapt to the new product in advance will be of great benefit to its future market share." Prince Wang said tempted.
Eric Schmidt was really amused and crying at this time. Did the Chinese guy on the other end of the phone treat himself as a shopping mall rookie? After saying so much, he didn't reveal any advanced technology at all. He acted like he wanted to make a fortune by himself, but he even said it was a friend's price. How could he feel?
"Then why can't Google wait for two days? Are we considering whether it is necessary to pay for this contract after your company's press conference?" Eric Schmidt said directly.
"That's not the price, and it's even more impossible for us to sign protective clauses with your company. To put it bluntly, Mr. Schmidt doesn't regard my proposal as a business, but it's more like a big bet, or a test of the trust between us. At least after I had this idea, the first thing I thought of was you. This at least shows that although the prince of the Tang Dynasty and Google had been so unhappy before, I still sincerely regard you as a friend. Now it depends on whether you believe in the hard-earned friendship between us!"
Prince Wang's answer once again made Eric Schmidt fall... (To be continued.)
