Chapter 102

George Moore was very dissatisfied with Apple's offer and negotiated for more than ten minutes. However, apple did not give in and insisted on $105 per chip. In view of the fact that there was no intention of compromise between the two sides, the first round of negotiations ended. The second round of negotiations will be held tomorrow morning!

After the negotiation, George Moore immediately made a phone call to inform Henry of the negotiation.

Henry thought about it. Newton, a handheld computer, sold less than 10000 in total. If arm charges by piece, it would be a loss!

"Since Apple has come up with two solutions, we will choose the first one, only chip design fee and production license fee!" Said Henry.

As soon as George Moore heard this, he was in a hurry and said, "Mr. Williams, if we follow the first plan, we will lose a lot of money..."

Henry interrupted and said, "George Moore, we're going to lose a lot of money on the premise that Apple's handheld computer Newton will sell well, but what if Newton doesn't sell? What if Newton doesn't sell 10000? We can't take chances! "

After jobs used Newton, he thought it was rubbish and useless. As soon as he came to power, he cut down Newton. Before jobs came to power, Apple CEO Scully believed that the reason why Newton failed was that it was too far ahead and apple was too ambitious to change the whole personal computer. In Henry's view, leading is leading, but the technology is not mature, leading to many functions are not perfect, the product is a failure of the product, naturally will not sell. Jobs decisively cut down Newton, absolutely wise move!

George Moore listened to Henry's words, pondered, and then agreed: "yes, Mr. Williams, you're right. We can't take chances. If Apple's Newton doesn't sell, we'll lose! In this way, we arm choose the first plan, but ask them to increase the money! "

"Ha ha, that's right!" Henry laughed and then said, "huh? Just let Apple add another million dollars! "

Since apple is so ambitious to develop Newton and change the PC market at one stroke, it obviously has great confidence in Newton, with a sales target of at least 500000 units. If we pay by piece, arm will make a lot of money, so Apple has been trying to force arm to choose the first plan. If arm is willing to compromise and choose the first plan to authorize apple to produce at one time, then Apple doesn't mind giving more money!

George Moore nodded, "OK, I'll talk to Apple about this!"

The next day, when Apple's negotiation team arrived, George Moore said to Ronald reed, "Mr. reed, arm company has carefully considered and decided to choose the first plan, but you Apple company must add another one million dollars! In other words, the design fee and license fee will cost three million dollars in total! If Apple agrees, we can sign the contract immediately! " George Moore's tone was firm, and apple couldn't bargain at all.

Ronald Reid was very satisfied that arm could choose the first plan. He tasted the coffee with a little satisfaction. "Mr. George Moore, apple can only increase the price by half a million dollars!"

"Well, since apple is only willing to increase the price by half a million dollars, arm can only choose the second plan!" George Moore glanced at Ronald Reid and said faintly.

Ronald ridden was as miserable as eating a fly.

If the arm company really choose the second plan, his heart will vomit blood!!!

At the moment, George Moore's face looks indifferent. What do you like about apple? Anyway, I've broken the jar. Either give me a million dollars or I'll choose the second plan

Ronald Reid was helpless and said in a slow voice, "well, since arm is willing to choose the first plan, Apple should also make a concession. One million dollars is one million dollars..."

George Moore said with a smile, "well, that's great. It seems that we have reached an agreement."

"Yes, we can draw up a contract now and sign it immediately!" Ronald Reid was afraid that arm would go back on its promise after a while and urged arm to sign the contract.

George Moore nodded: "OK, no problem!"

Half an hour later, arm and apple officially signed the contract.

Arm company can not rise without the cultivation of apple. This time, arm company will emerge. Although Newton is not selling well, arm company's technology has been recognized all over the world. Then orders continue, although not as big as Intel, but to support themselves and grow is no problem!

After signing the contract, George Moore called Henry to inform him: "Mr. Williams, arm has officially signed the contract with apple. Cooperation mode, choose the first plan, apple is willing to pay arm a total of three million dollars

Henry said with a smile: "good, then try to design a good chip for Apple! Apple will be a springboard for us, and Newton will be the best platform for us to show arm's strength. I believe AMR can achieve very good results through this cooperation! "

George Moore nodded confidently and said, "don't worry, Mr. Williams. Arm won't let you down."

……

……

On the other hand, Ronald Reid and others returned to the hotel and happily opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Ronald Reid said with a smile: "come on, let's have a toast and celebrate the success of this negotiation!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

As we drank, we joked that arm company was too stupid and counselled. We were forced to choose the first plan.

However, when Apple regards others as a fool, it doesn't know that it is a fool.

You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery. The people watching the scenery watch you upstairs. Apple is so conceited that Ronald Reid and others think they have succeeded, forcing arm to choose the first plan! But I don't know that arm has decided to give up the second plan and choose the first one. If Apple's attitude is a bit tough, then arm will also choose compromise in the end!

AMR company now depends on Apple company to eat, so no matter how harsh conditions Apple offers, AMR company can only accept it in the end!

Ronald and others are now opening champagne to celebrate, and they will not regret it until Newton releases it in the future!!! The author established a group of book friends: 424930141, welcome to join...)
