Chapter 485 Do you agree to SoftBank's heavy investment? (3 more)
Chen Xiao kept this in mind and said to Feng Yun: "There is no problem at all. I am inspecting Suzhou and Hangzhou during this period. If Mr. Feng has time, can we have a cup of afternoon tea together tomorrow afternoon?"
Feng Yun immediately agreed and said: "No problem at all!"
If we can reach a cooperation with Feng Yun and obtain a certain number of Ali shares through a joint venture, this will be a real win.
After the banquet, Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang were invited to a relatively private office by Xue Cun.
Chen Xiao knew that it was time to talk about business.
However, as the boss of the company, Chen Xiao did not participate in the company's negotiations, so he sat next to Wang Xiang and was just observing.
As a partner of SoftBank and the president of Xia Guo District, Xue Cun, in addition to strictly executing the orders of SoftBank headquarters, is more importantly to find companies worthy of investment in Xia Guo Continent.
Xue Cun recommended Changtian Technology to SoftBank headquarters last year. Due to some strange reasons, SoftBank missed the best time to invest in Changtian Technology and was given the opportunity by IDG.
Some time ago, the sales of HP's "Ninja" in Japan were booming, which made SoftBank once again pay attention to the hardware and operating system used in HP computers, and also paid attention to the company behind it, Changtian Technology.
After repeated weighing, SoftBank finally became interested in cooperating with Changtian Technology.
As an excellent investment hunter, Reason also found the weak points of Changtian Technology and the urgent matters to be solved, so he facilitated this meeting through Yahoo Xia Guo.
Xue Cun said: "Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang should have seen the cooperation request from Yahoo! Toyo and hope to put some advertisements in the Yinghuo OS application market."
Wang Xiang said: "Indeed, we are very grateful to Yahoo! Dongyang for trusting us, and we also agreed to this cooperation."
Xue Cun said: "I have not learned in detail about Yinghuo's global operations, especially in the Oriental market."
Wang Xiang glanced at Chen Xiao and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Xue Cun said: "Currently, Yinghuo OS seems to have a big problem with application copyright."
"Not to mention the Xiaguo Continent, Changtian Technology has indeed done very well and has been authorized by most companies."
"But in overseas markets, and I'm just talking about the Japanese market, there are still too few software in the application market."
"Perhaps the copyright of some software is not clear. Although Changtian Technology has obtained the company's copyright in mainland China, it has not obtained the corresponding copyright in the Japanese market. If a lawsuit is filed in the future, there will be some trouble."
Wang Xiang nodded, acquiescing to Xue Cun's statement.
Xuecun added: "Yinghuo OS still faces a problem overseas - the hardware cannot keep up."
"Of course the hardware I'm talking about here is not Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drive, but the chip and graphics card."
"Take Resident Evil as an example. In a large-scale game like this, the most important thing is the performance of the chip and graphics card, followed by memory and hard drive."
"It is true that using carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drives can optimize the equipment to a certain extent, but as games become more and more powerful and the graphics become more and more powerful, the disadvantages of not being able to support Intel chips and Nvidia graphics cards are revealed."
"Although AMD is developing, its performance still lags far behind Intel."
Wang Xiang said: "Mr. Xue's analysis is correct, so what is the purpose of SoftBank coming to us to talk this time?"
Xue Cun said: "We are very concerned about the operating mode of Yinghuo OS, especially the operating mode of the application market, and firmly believe that this model will be profitable. Yinghuo OS is a closed operating system, which is different from Microsoft WIN system
, has unique advantages.”
Xue Cun did not explain that in SoftBank's internal evaluation, it was not just judged that Yinghuo OS can be profitable, but that it can make monopoly profits.
Xue Cun said: "SoftBank hopes to invest in Changtian Technology and obtain a certain amount of shares. In return, SoftBank will use our advantages and connections in the global software market to help Yinghuo OS solve the software copyright issue."
"In addition, we will also use our own connections in the United States to fight for Intel to lift the ban on Changtian Technology hardware."
After saying this, Xuecun turned to look at Chen Xiao. He hoped to see some information from Chen Xiao's expression, but Xuecun was disappointed. Chen Xiao still looked at Xuecun with a smile on his face, his expression unclear.
There was a ripple.
In fact, Chen Xiao does have some feelings.
The conditions proposed by SoftBank can indeed solve the two most difficult problems currently facing Changtian Technology——
Copyright issues of application market software and hardware issues.
If these two problems can be solved, then the development of Changtian Technology will surely enter the fast lane.
Yinghuo OS will also occupy the market crazily with an irreversible trend. Although it cannot completely defeat Microsoft, it will definitely be able to occupy a place in the market and compete with Microsoft.
This is how Yinghuo OS will become similar to Apple's Ma system 20 years later, and what Apple is to Android.
SoftBank's conditions are indeed very exciting, but it depends on what kind of price the software can offer.
Wang Xiang asked: "What about the conditions? I wonder what kind of conditions Changtian Technology can ask your company to offer?"
Since Xuecun was able to come to Suzhou and Hangzhou to negotiate with Wang Xiang and Chen Xiao this time, SoftBank must have done enough homework.
Therefore, they will never put forward conditions that Changtian Technology cannot accept.
Xue Cun said: "SoftBank hopes that Changtian Technology can make Yinghuo OS independent. SoftBank will invest 20 million yuan, hoping to get 40% of the shares of Yinghuo OS."
Everyone held their breath.
However, with the current market share of Yinghuo OS, acquiring 40% of the shares for US$20 million is not cheap at all.
Chen Xiaoke remembered another classic acquisition a few years later.
Google purchased the Android operating system entirely for $50 million.
That is to say, the current valuation of Firefox OS is higher than that of Android in a few years.
Wang Xiang is excited!
It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.
20 million yuan is not a small amount of money, it is more than 1.6 billion when converted into RMB.
Wang Xiang looked at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiaoze is thinking about one thing - is 40% of the shares a little too much?
But whether it is an investment of 20 million, or solving the problems of application copyright and Intel chips, this is indeed very exciting.
Chen Xiao stood up and spoke, "Mr. Xue, do you have a detailed plan?"
Xue Cun smiled. He asked his assistant to take out a cooperation plan of more than 100 pages and handed it to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao said: "We need to discuss this matter. I hope Mr. Xue can give us some time."
