Chapter 587 Compromise

 Mr. Shao has worked hard in society for many years and naturally understood Cao Weidong’s hint.

He thought Cao Weidong was attracted to Weng Meiling.

Therefore, he came to Weng Meiling specially and offered him very generous terms.

Faced with the olive branch offered by Mr. Shao, this young girl in her early twenties immediately agreed.

Weng Meiling was secretly delighted.

This heaven-shaking wealth.

It's finally my turn.

Of course, in order to prevent himself from guessing wrong, Mr. Shao also signed all the winners of Miss Chinese of that year to wireless.

Anyway, for Mr. Shao, there is no difference between a sheep being driven and a group of sheep being herded.

Cao Weidong smiled bitterly.

He guessed that Mr. Shao must have misunderstood.

But he is far away in Yingjiang now, and there is no way to explain it.

We can only make it clear to Mr. Shao after we return to Hong Kong City.

Finally, Mr. Shao also sent a message saying that he had successfully negotiated for theater chains in some British cities.

The third good news is brought by Song Shunci.

After a lot of walking around, she also successfully won a Hollywood theater.

Cao Weidong was overjoyed.

This means that "Feng Shen" can be released simultaneously in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and European and American markets, which will create a new record.

It stands to reason that Cao Weidong has finished all the things he has to do and can return to Hong Kong City, but he still chooses to continue waiting.

The bait has been cast, but has the fish taken the bait?

Cao Weidong will wait and see.

.......

"Waste! Waste! You are all a bunch of waste!"

Inside the Apple Research Center, Steve Jobs roared angrily.

Charlie is the person in charge of the research center. He endured huge pressure and said bravely.

"Mr. Jobs, with all due respect, the wireless mouse you mentioned is simply a false proposition."

"From the perspective of optoelectronics and principles, it is indeed feasible...but with existing materials, interactions, programming, etc., this is simply impossible to achieve."

"In other words, we can't make a wireless mouse."

Jobs said coldly.

"Since the principle is feasible, it can definitely be realized."

Charlie's face turned red.

"Mr. Jobs, you are forcing yourself into a difficult situation."

Faced with Jobs's aggressive gaze, Charlie became more and more angry and almost blurted out the words "I quit my job". Fortunately, other company executives stepped forward to speak and finally resolved the conflict temporarily.

Charlie rolled his eyes.

I decided to cry to my immediate boss.

.......

Jobs returned to the office full of anger. Not long after he sat down, Wozniak came over.

In fact, there were three co-founders of Apple when it was founded: Jobs, Wayne, and Wozniak.

Wozniak holds 45% of the company's shares and is one of Apple's two largest shareholders. His voice in the company is second only to Jobs.

But he is a typical technical man.

He is a kind person and likes a harmonious atmosphere. He hopes that the company can be as harmonious as a family. He is not satisfied with how tense Jobs made the company atmosphere.

At a private dinner, Jobs once bluntly called Wozniak "childish and immature."

Of course, the relationship between the two is still very good.

In addition, Apple's product research and development basically relies on Wozniak.

However, with Jobs' fiery temper, he often overstepped his authority and issued various research and development requirements.

As soon as he walked in the door, Wozniak said.

"Jobs, I heard what Charlie said. The idea of ​​letting the mouse escape from the constraints of the wire trough is indeed feasible, but it has many flaws, and with the capabilities of the current research base, I am afraid that your idea cannot be realized."

Jobs also calmed down at this time.

"Old friend, this is crucial for our new computer. If we must develop it, how long will it take?"

Wozniak frowned.

"One year... no, it will take at least eight months, and a lot of research resources will be invested."

Steve Jobs said.

"Then continue research, this is very important to us."

Wozniak smiled bitterly.

"This is indeed important. I admit that this is a creative idea, but... don't forget our competitors. If we are absent from this year's new products, it will probably be very difficult for our company.

It’s an important blow.”

After entering the 1980s, Apple encountered emerging competitors in the personal computer business.

The most important among them is IBM, the "number one" in the computer industry.

Facing aggressive competitors, Apple must continue to innovate and launch new products in order to retain customers.

But if you focus on researching wireless mice, it will inevitably slow down the company's overall research and development process.

Should we choose to develop a wireless mouse and give up market share, or should we maintain our existing market share and give up the research and development of wireless mice?

For Steve Jobs, this was a no-brainer.

He sighed, drank the coffee on the table, and walked out of the office.

Wozniak was stunned and quickly asked from behind.

"Jobs, what are you going to do?"

Jobs waved his hand.

"It's okay, I'm going to complete a deal... Damn it, this feeling of being forced is really uncomfortable."

.........

Song Shunci handed the reserved ticket to Cao Weidong.

"Weidong, I have prepared the ticket for the flight tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Cao Weidong sighed.

Unknowingly, he has been staying in Yingjiang for a month, and he should also return to Hong Kong to preside over the promotion work of [Fengshen].

Song Shunci looked at Cao Weidong and asked.

"Weidong, you seem a little unhappy?"

Cao Weidong smiled forcefully.

"It's okay, just a little regretful?"

"What regrets? I'll make it up to you."

Song Shunci's eyes were as charming as silk, and she almost leaned in Cao Weidong's arms.

Just as Cao Weidong was about to speak, the waiter's voice came from outside the door.

"Mr. Cao, there is someone looking for you downstairs. He is waiting for you in the lobby."

Song Shunci pouted.

His face was full of displeasure.

Cao Weidong whispered a few words of comfort, then walked over to open the door and inquire about the situation.

When he heard the waiter say that it was Steve Jobs who was looking for him, Cao Weidong's eyes lit up and he said to Song Shunci.

"Tomorrow's air tickets are cancelled, we won't go back yet."

"Not going back?"

"Yes."

A relieved smile appeared on Cao Weidong's face.

"Because business is coming."

........

Jobs finally compromised.

He agreed to give up 8% of his shares and allowed Cao Weidong to acquire it at a price of US$30 per share. Of course, the premise was to provide a full set of wireless mouse technology and guide Apple to completely manufacture it.

Cao Weidongle's nose was almost bursting with snot bubbles, but he agreed immediately.

Both parties hired lawyers to draft an agreement.

After signing and confirming.

Cao Weidong gave the wireless mouse technology to Steve Jobs.

Jobs was shocked by this miraculous design.

Value!

It’s so worth it!

After pondering for a while, he found that he was a bit over the top.

In the plan given by Cao Weidong, many technical barriers were faced and avoided in a very clever way, so that this set of wireless mice can be easily mass-produced and manufactured in this era. Jobs can't wait to return to the research base.

, handing over this technology to the engineers and researchers of his own company.

Cao Weidong quickly stopped Jobs.

"Mr. Jobs, wait, I have another request."
