Chapter 856: Signed an agreement with Apple

Within a few days, Zhang Yang received a report from Edson, saying that the communication with Apple was very smooth. The two sides have basically discussed the completion of the cooperation, and it is expected that the contract can be successfully signed within a week.
　　 This is very important for Zhiduoxing. Zhang Yang is worried that Apple will continue to make mobile phones and will not give up. So simply come to the bottom of the paycheck to make Apple a developer of application software for the Zhiduoxing platform.
　　 Apple's software is very strong, and many applications have a good reputation. Relying on various electronic products in the past life, plus their Apple store, the profit is very high.
　　In the beginning, Microsoft also blocked Apple's software applications. Later, the two sides shake hands and transplanted some of Apple's software to Microsoft's platform.
　　Zhang Yang also understands that it is not possible to defeat Apple in one fell swoop. Many users have chosen Apple’s computers and other products, and it is more stable than the BlackBerry user base.
　　 BlackBerry's application software is too backward, and it is not as good as Saipan. BlackBerry only pays attention to software and confidential information, and thinks that this is the biggest requirement of users. There are few other entertainment softwares. I think those elite business people and politicians have no time to play entertainment software.
　　Apple's software is well developed, some ideas are very advanced, and it is no wonder that their programmers are very proud.
　　Because of the decision to abandon the mobile phone business, Apple simply compensated AT&T with the achievements of mobile phone research and development, and the two parties settled. It is said that AT&T chose to cooperate with Motorola, but Motorola has not yet seen a new smartphone.
　　After receiving the news from Edson, Zhang Yang let Duan Yongping stay in Beijing and took the team to the Silicon Valley of the United States.
　　Steve Jobs is the co-founder of Apple and a well-known pioneer in science and technology in the past. But in this life, his reputation is far less high.
　　 Because of the rise of several products of Apple in the previous life, Zhiduoxing did it first, and left no room for Apple. For example, smartphones, software stores, etc.
　　When Apple did it, it was found that Zhiduoxing played the rest, but they still robbed, and naturally did not make so much money. Even some businesses, such as smartphones, have lost money, where can they still have the same high profits as the previous life?
　　 Even the market value is now only more than 40 billion US dollars, and it would be like a subsidiary of Zhiduoxing, far from being a giant company.
At least the market value of hundreds of billions of dollars can be regarded as a technology giant. Apple may have the opportunity to reach it in the future, but it can reach the peak of trillions of dollars like the previous life. It is not a show at all, because they lack a fist product and other business development. Is far less than the previous life.
　　When he saw Steve Jobs, Zhang Yang didn't seem to see the other person's spirit very well. It should have been sick, and he hadn't found it yet.
　　 "Hello, Jobs, I'm Zhang."
　　 "Mr. Zhang, I am very glad that you can come here in person. I think we will soon reach an agreement and cooperate smoothly." Jobs smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yang.
　　 "I think so too. I even think that Apple's software strength is comparable to that of IBM. I hope you can surpass IBM in the future."
　　IBM, the second largest absolute in the software industry. Zhang Yang said so, so that the smile on Jobs' face was even greater.
　　 "Chapter, since you are so optimistic about Apple, do you consider coming to serve as an external director? This way we can cooperate better."
"I'm sorry, I basically no longer serve as a director of other companies. My children are still young and put more energy on the family. I think Edson is very good, and his ability is obvious to all. If Apple invites him, he should Will not refuse."
　　Children use it as an excuse to try everything. On the American side, the family is also very important.
　　 It's just that Jobs didn't seem to value the family very much. He was abandoned by his parents, adopted, and later abandoned his daughter.
　　 It is said that Steve Jobs has an extreme personality. When he founded Apple and made a salary table, his number was 02. He also had a quarrel with the National People's Congress, thinking that he should be number 01.
　　 Later came up with a coup, that is, change yourself to number 0. Unfortunately, the bank did not admit that the salary table could only start from No. 1, and Jobs was forced to become No. 02.
　　 Jobs is also very strict with his subordinates, and he always scolds, which is what many employees who leave from Apple have said.
　　But after meeting, Zhang Yang felt that Jobs still looked very polite, perhaps because he and Jobs had different employee status.
"That's really a pity. I will discuss with the board to see if I invite Edson." He still looked down on Edson in his heart, and felt that the other party had nothing to change the industry's actions. Only now has the status.
　　 "By the way, we, Apple, have also launched tablet computers. Wouldn’t Zhiduoxing Group suppress us?"
　　Zhang Yang looked at Jobs with a smile: "Are Apple afraid of competition?"
　　 does not recognize, nor deny.
　　Chapter Yang inner heart hopes that Apple will abandon the tablet computer too. In the past life, this enterprise with a hot tablet computer occupied 60% of the market in its peak period.
　　 But this time hastily launched, but did not make too good a breakthrough, the current sales can only be said to be unsatisfactory ~ EbookFREE.me ~ must not make money this year.
　　 "Of course not afraid, not even Microsoft can beat us. Zhang, I heard that you Chinese people like to drink tea. I have some English black tea here, you can try it."
　　Can't Microsoft beat Apple? If it were not for antitrust protection, Apple would have gone bankrupt. If it weren't for Bill Gates who invested in Microsoft and reduced the suppression, Apple would have Apple cores.
　　 "Chapter, let's try. The negotiation teams of both parties are discussing the details. I also have a question here. Is it your idea for Zhiduoxing to create these products?"
　　 Everyone said that Zhang Duo, the chairman of Zhiduoxing, was a genius. It was because of Zhang Yang that Zhiduoxing could rise so quickly and become a giant.
"How could it be all my creativity? We have the best team in Zhiduoxing. All product ideas are the result of the team's discussion. Now it also proves that the results of our discussion are not bad and are very popular in the market. Well, This tea is good."
　　 Many times Zhang Yang just made a request. Others will try their best to see how they can fulfill Zhang Yang's request, so that there is now Zhiduoxing.
　　Jobs poured another cup of tea to Zhang Yang: "Someone said before that you are one of the smartest people in the world, I still don't believe it. But now, I believe it."
　　 "But within a few years, Apple will catch up with Zhiduoxing, regardless of market value, revenue, or profit."
　　 Chapter Yang smiled: "I will wait and see."
