Deal concluded
Mo Xiao Yao's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly as she gazed at Wang Zhengyu, who seemed incredibly confident beside her. For a moment, she lost focus, and her eyes involuntarily revealed the astonishment that exposed the girl's inner shock at this time.
From their conversation, the clever girl naturally already knew that the voice-controlled software they mentioned was a very popular Android phone housekeeper app recently.
She just never associated the epoch-making application in this news report, the flagship invention of future IT, or even a software that Apple and other tech companies are eager to acquire, with the boy who has been her classmate for three years but always seemed ordinary.
Never thought that in the face of Apple's CEO offering a high price of $50 million, the young man in front of him would refuse so lightly, without any hesitation. That's over 300 million RMB, especially for a young man like Wang Zhengyu who was born into an ordinary family, this is a fortune that can change one's fate in this materialistic era. Isn't he afraid that the deal will fall through?
It was either confidence or an attitude of being indifferent to money, Mo Xiao Yao couldn't tell. But what she couldn't deny was that at this moment, Wang Zheng Yu's calm demeanor had already left a deep impression on her heart.
"Hello?" The person on the other end of the phone didn't know that this unprofessional beauty translator had a momentary lapse in thought, and after a long time without a response, couldn't help but urge her to speak up.
Mo Xiao-yao only then reacted, and hastily conveyed Wang Zhengyu's meaning to Tim Cook, who was already anxiously waiting on the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing Mo Xiao Yao's feedback, the other end of the phone also fell silent. After a moment, Tim Cook only said: "Please don't hang up the phone yet, wait for a while!" Then there was silence on the phone.
"He said to wait a bit!" Mo Xiao Yao conveyed Cook's words to Wang Zheng Yu, who had a calm expression, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart: "Are you really willing to give up the deal with Apple? That's 50 million US dollars, over 300 million RMB!"
In fact, Wang Zhengyu's heart was absolutely not as calm as his face at this time. The goddess he had secretly loved for a long time was now standing in front of him, which was enough to make his heart surge with excitement. Moreover, he had just pulled down someone else's soft and delicate hand, and the feeling of being on cloud nine still lingered in his mind.
But Wang Zhengyu had to pretend, it's not easy to have a chance to show off in front of his goddess sister, how could he let it go easily? If he didn't pretend at this time, the heavens would strike him with lightning!
So even if Wang Zhengyu is now short of money and excited like a deer drumming in his heart, he must show a calm and composed demeanor at this time. So when he opens his mouth, his tone is even more showing off his composure, yet without losing the heroic spirit of pointing to the mountains and rivers: "No big deal! Apple has enough money in our Huaxia pit, I have to represent the Huaxia people to dig back a few more points. Besides, even if we can't come to an agreement, I won't lose anything anyway! At most, it's just a breakup!"
The girl didn't say a word, she just nodded silently, but her curiosity about Wang Zhengyu had already reached its peak. How many more secrets was this young man hiding?
The phone was still silent, and the two young men and women were speechless for a while. The room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that Wang Zhengyu seemed to hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster. A strong emotion began to ferment in this silence...
Just as Wang Zhengyu felt his little heart was about to explode, the silent phone finally reacted again.
“Hello,anyonehere?”
"Ah, yes, please go ahead, Mr. Cook!" Mu Xiaoyao, who had been in a daze, immediately came back to her senses and spoke up.
"Mr. Cook said that the latest negotiation result is that they can pay a price of $1 billion, but the software revenue must be split 50/50 between the two parties, and Apple App Store has the pricing power; in addition, for the subsequent version upgrade of this software, as well as possible development of other language versions, the iOS version must be prioritized over Android or other operating system versions; finally, both parties must sign a supplementary confidentiality agreement, both parties have an obligation to keep commercial secrets, and the party that breaches the contract will pay at least 10 times the transaction amount in liquidated damages!"
Moxiao Yao suppressed the shock in her heart and professionally conveyed Tim Cook's meaning to Wang Zhengyu, "In addition, Mr. Cook asked me to reiterate that this is the final result of the board's deliberation. Although he personally admires you very much, as Apple's CEO, he must be responsible to the board. He hopes you can agree to this contract and looks forward to establishing a deep friendship with you starting from this. Moreover, on a personal level, he also wants to establish a private friendship with someone like you!"
After translating Tim Cook's words, Mo Xiao Yao quietly looked at Wang Zheng Yu who was frowning and seemed very dissatisfied, but in her heart, it was like a tsunami surging up.
If someone had told her half an hour ago that she was about to participate in a cross-border business negotiation worth hundreds of millions of dollars, she would have thought the person was crazy! If the person who said this was Wang Zhengyu, she would have thought that this kid's brain must have been burned out, so everything that is happening now makes her feel like she is dreaming.
But Tim Cook's voice still seemed to be echoing in her ears, the boy opposite was still frowning and thinking, and the pain of just pinching his index finger with his thumb reminded her that all this was real, not a dream.
At this time, Wang Zhengyu suddenly raised his head and asked: "What do you think of the conditions he proposed? Can we agree to it?"
Mo Xiao Yao was taken aback, clearly not expecting Wang Zheng Yu to ask for her opinion. She furrowed her brow in thought before speaking: "I don't know. I'm just an ordinary history student, I don't understand high-tech, and even less about the value of your software. However, I think that if a contract can't be negotiated, and advanced software can't serve consumers, it's unfair to those who have purchased Apple products."
She said here, the girl paused for a moment, and then quickly added: "Of course, this is just my personal idea, it's your software, you still have to decide for yourself!"
Wang Zhengyu looked deeply at the girl in front of him, feeling that just these few words had increased his good impression of her. He didn't understand, so he made no judgment, only stating his own thoughts, and even less willing to interfere with his own decisions. What a great girl! Wang Zhengyu suddenly had an urge to pull the girl's delicate body into his arms and love her tenderly for a while.
Fortunately, Wang Zhengyu had not lost his mind and knew that the consequences of doing so would be unpredictable. However, he also completely lost interest in continuing to haggle with Apple.
If making money, upgrading the heavenly book, acquiring technology, and standing at the pinnacle of the world means trampling Microsoft and Apple underfoot is Wang Zhengyu's grand ambition, then conquering the girl in front of him and having her share all this with him is the foundation on which he established this grand ambition. If no one shares it with him, what's the point of standing at the top of the world?
"Then just agree to it! Also, tell him to send someone to Jiang City to sign the contract. I haven't even gotten a passport yet, there's no way for me to go abroad!"
"Mr. Cook, Mr. Wang Zhengyu has agreed to your final proposal! However, Mr. Wang hopes that the contract signing location can be in Jiang City, as he is very busy recently and cannot leave. Additionally, Mr. Wang asked me to express his gratitude to you and also hopes that this cooperation will be a wonderful starting point for a friendly relationship between both parties."
After a brief conversation with Tim Cook, Mo Xiao Yao hung up the phone and handed it to Wang Zheng Yu, saying: "Mr. Cook said please keep your phone available, Apple's Vice President of Asia Pacific will arrive in Jiang City as soon as possible to contact you and be fully responsible for signing the contract!"
"Thank you!" Wang Zhengyu took over the phone and said sincerely.
He really got a good deal, thanks to Mo Xiaoyao. To be honest, he was short of money at that time. If it weren't for Mo Xiaoyao, with his poor English level, how could he have secured such a huge income so easily?
"It's nothing, I just happened to run into him!" Mo Xiaoyao said softly.
"Hey, how come your English is so good?" Wang Zhengyu obviously started talking nonsense.
"My dad originally planned to send me to M country after I graduated from high school, and I started attending TOEFL and IELTS training classes every day since junior high!" Mo Xiaoyao said calmly, seemingly with a resistant emotion towards this topic.
Wang Zhengyu was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly changed the subject: "Right, what did you come to find me for today? I got busy and forgot to ask you."
The two of them finally got back on track.
Tim Cook's phone call turned out to be a good help for Wang Zhengyu to explain that he was not addicted to games. It directly eliminated the dispute between the two of them and made Mo Xiaoyao unable to avoid this issue.
"I'm here to tell you, today in Modern History class, Professor Xu took roll call after class and Shi Tianyu helped you get marked present with Huo Guangbo, but was discovered by Professor Xu. Today, Professor Xu seemed to be in a bad mood and directly told Shi Tianyu to go find the teaching assistant to write a self-criticism. As for you two, it seems like you're both failing Modern History this year, judging from Professor Xu's tone!" Mo Xiaoyao said with a red face.
"Oh! So that's it!" Wang Zhengyu scratched his head, looking embarrassed. Actually, whether he passed or not wasn't a big deal to him; after all, it wasn't like he'd never failed before - he was used to it by now. What really piqued his curiosity was another question: "By the way, how did you get into the boys' dorm? When did that uncle downstairs become so easy-going?"
Mo Xiao Yao's face turned red as she said, "I'm a student council member, and I came with the counselor to inspect the hygiene situation. The uncle downstairs knows me, so when I told him that the counselor asked me to deliver a message to you, he let me come up..."
"It's good that you're here, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do today! So, to express my gratitude, I'll treat you to lunch at noon, no refusal allowed!" Wang Zhengyu finally said the words he had been brewing for a long time.
