Chapter 1432 (2/2)
Li Mu nodded and said, ”well, I'll let my vice president contact apple core tomorrow, and let them meet first.”
”Good!” Louis Martin said with a smile, ”I think the acquisition of Apple may be a lot simpler than we think. Microsoft has helped us a lot indirectly.”
”Yes.” Li Mu sighed and said with a smile, ”Microsoft is really a god assisted attack this time. It is because of their unscrupulous bargaining that we have a good chance to get to the bottom of the bargain! ”
……
When Tim Cook received Lin Qingya's call, he was in a daze for several seconds before he gradually calmed down.
Lin Qingya is the vice president of Muye technology and the head of Muye technology's U.S. branch. She is the most influential female executive in Silicon Valley. With the continuous development of Muye technology, Lin Qingya's reputation in Silicon Valley is growing. But this is not the reason Tim Cook is so shocked. He didn't react for a long time because he was shocked I guess Lin Qingya's actual secret of calling him.
So Tim Cook asked respectfully, ”Miss Lin, do you have any instructions for calling me?”
Lin Qingya smiled and said, ”Tim, I heard that Apple wants to find a powerful individual or group to take over. Do you know if there is such a thing?”
”Yes.” Tim Cook said without hesitation, ”we are really looking for a strong buyer for apple.”
Tim Cook is not surprised. The whole Silicon Valley knows that apple is eager to cash in and stop losses, and Lin Qingya knows nothing strange.
But Tim Cook is a little curious. Is Lin Qingya interested in apple?
At this time, Lin Qingya said, ”Tim, Makino technology is interested in apple. If you have time, we can sit down and talk.”
Tim kuxton's next joy is that, although Makino technology is Apple's deadly enemy, from the business level, Makino technology is the most suitable enterprise to buy apple.
But Tim Cook thought about it carefully. After a while, he said: ”Miss Lin, let me remind you in advance that what we are looking for is that the shares of the core shareholder level are acquired by the wholly-owned whole property. This is not financing or transfer of some shares. You have to accept this first before we can continue to talk about it.”
Lin Qingya said with a smile, ”of course, we don't want to simply invest in apple, which means nothing to us. The wholly-owned acquisition is just a little maneuverable.”
”Wholly owned acquisition?!” Tim Cook asked, the voice sounds very calm, but the heart has been rough.
Muye technology wants to buy Apple wholly, which is really unexpected to Tim Cook. Because he thinks that Li Mu can't use Apple at all, why should he pay for a loser who can't use himself?
What's more, why does Li Mu want to buy Apple's operating system and complete machine business? These two sections are of no practical significance to the current Muye technology. As for the iPod, it's easy to explain that Li Mu is probably cleaning up the obstacles for his products just like Microsoft.
At Li Mu's request, Lin Qingya was too lazy to continue to circle with Apple's people, so she went straight to the point and said: ”Tim, our chairman thinks that apple is a company with certain potential. He decided to buy your company out of the recognition of you and some needs of our own business line, and he heard that you were Microsoft insults, including his feeling that it is too much for Microsoft to do things, so let me talk to you. If we can reach an agreement price, he will pay, and then all the people your company's technology provides will be incorporated into Makino technology. If we can't reach an agreement, you can accept Microsoft's split agreement and only sell the operating system to them. ”
When Lin Qingya mentioned Microsoft, Tim Cook's heart was particularly depressed. Microsoft really hurt the self-esteem of all the apple core staff this time. In their opinion, the hard-working software and hardware they have made are not the best in the industry, but at least they are the most ranked. But now, in Microsoft's eyes, these efforts have no real value at all. Apple's only value to Microsoft is to ensure that Microsoft will no longer be controlled by anti-monopoly law, just like a tool, that's all.
After thinking for a moment, Tim Cook asked Lin Qingya, ”Mr. Lin, if we sell apple to Makino technology, what kind of offer can Makino technology give us? What other ideas does he have about our company and our team besides the offer? ”
Lin Qingya smiled and said, ”I don't know exactly what Mr. Li thinks, so we can make an appointment to have a good chat and see what you all want, and then I'll talk to Mr. Li again.”Tim Cook immediately agreed to come down and blurted, ”let's choose tomorrow, tomorrow I can have time all the time!”
