Chapter 101

"Oh, by the way, we must strive for a cooperative relationship with apple!" Henry left with a deep smile and told George Moore.

In fact, without Henry's warning, arm will try its best to cooperate with apple. In the current environment, few companies will use arm chips, but Apple needs chips with low cost and low power consumption to launch the handheld computer Newton. In the market, only arm's chips meet Apple's requirements. Therefore, the two sides have the basic conditions to reach cooperation!

George Moore nodded and said, "don't worry, Mr. Williams, I will definitely win the Apple user!"

"That's good!" Henry answered and walked out the door.

Arm is acquired by Qualcomm and no longer accepts Apple's investment.

The reason why Apple invests in arm company is just to ensure the supply of Newton chips! If you don't need to invest to achieve the same effect, apple won't spend the money to invest in arm. At this stage, arm company obviously does not make money, in order to save money, only set up a chip design department, and did not establish its own chip factory, but to find other companies OEM, production!

Therefore, Apple will never invest in arm unless it has to!

In fact, apple doesn't attach great importance to arm company. In previous generations, Apple sold arm's shares without doing Newton!

Apple is just like anything else. After it's finished, it's gone with pants on!!! Unexpectedly, a few years later, arm ugly duckling turned into a white swan, apple eyes are red, crying and shouting, begging her to give herself another chance! Well, after spending a lot of money, Apple has the right to take off its pants again!!!

After Henry left, George Moore negotiated with apple.

"Mr. George Moore, we at Apple hope that arm can design a chip for Newton and authorize apple to make it by itself!" Ronald Reid, the leader of Apple's negotiation team, said strongly. This time, Apple has a lot of negotiation teams, including technical personnel, business personnel, legal personnel, financial personnel, main negotiation leaders, and recording personnel, with a total of 13 people, more than the R & D team of arm company! Arm's negotiating team has only six people, less than half of Apple's.

Because Apple did not invest in arm, it could not get preferential price from inside. As a result, Apple's performance in the negotiation process is very strong, so as to win more interests for its own side!!! Send so many people to come here, first of all, you can surpass arm in the momentum! Ronald Reid, the leader of the negotiation team, was very strong with an imperative tone as soon as he spoke!

Arm company has just been established, unknown, in infancy, and apple, as a world-famous computer company, is already a giant. Naturally, others have strong capital and confidence!

George Moore frowned slightly. It's OK to design chips for apple, but authorizing apple to produce them is equivalent to giving arm a large part of its profits. Although arm does not have a chip factory, it can earn more than simply authorizing apple to produce chips by itself by finding other factories to OEM chips and then selling them to Apple!!!

"Mr. reed, arm can help Apple design chips, but," said George Multon, "arm doesn't authorize apple to produce chips. If Apple needs chips, it must buy them from arm!"!!! We can guarantee that in terms of chip supply, we can give priority to Apple's demand! "

Ronald Reid snorted and sneered, "as far as I know, arm doesn't seem to have a chip factory..."

George Moore beamed and said, "well, Mr. Ronald Reid, as far as I know, apple doesn't seem to have a chip factory." With that, he looked at Ronald Reid jokingly. George Moore did not give up, and made a tit for tat confrontation with Ronald Reid. The irony in his words was very strong. You Apple company was just laughing at you. You said that we arm company did not have a chip factory, then you Apple company had?

"Ha ha," said Ronald Reid, with a thick skin and a dry smile, "let's not talk about this. Apple has come up with two plans. You can have a look at them first."

With that, someone in the apple team took out some documents and handed them to the negotiation team of arm.

A few minutes later, George Moore almost finished browsing, and Ronald Reid said, "the first solution, as we just said, is that arm designs chips for apple and authorizes apple to produce them. The total design fee and licensing fee is two million dollars. The second plan is that Apple will buy chips from arm, and the price of each chip is $100! "

George Moore did not feel deep frown, Apple's two solutions, but in fact only equivalent to one, forcing arm to choose the first solution. In the second plan, the price of each chip is only $100. If the arm company produces it, the cost will be as high as $90. Each chip only earns $10. If you sell 200000 chips, you can earn $2 million!

Do you expect Newton to sell 200000 units?!!

"Mr. reed, is the price of $100 per chip too low? Intel chips are three or four hundred dollars a piece! "

"Oh, Intel's chip price is like this, right. But is arm Intel? It's just because your arm chips are cheap, otherwise why don't we go to Intel and ask you to design chips? " Ronald Reid said blandly.

George Moore blushed with a feeling of being looked down upon. However, what Ronald Reid said is the truth. George Moore can't defend himself! George Moore breathed a breath, calmed down for a while, and then slowly said: "in terms of performance, although ARM chip is not as good as Intel chip, in some aspects, ARM chip is better than Intel chip, especially the low power consumption of ARM chip, which just meets the needs of your Newton products!"

George Moore didn't go on saying it, but it's obvious that ARM chip is more suitable for Newton than Intel chip. If you don't raise the price for me, you can just use Intel chip!!! High price kills you, power consumption kills you!!!

Ronald Reid was silent for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "well, an arm chip costs 105 dollars!"

George Moore shook his head. He felt a little disappointed. Apple looked down on people too much. It only increased by $5
