The two talked a lot about the future development of the company, especially about the MP3 category.
"Of course I'm serious."
Yang Ling replied.
"Which aspect do you mean?"
"On equity."
Jobs said with a smile.
"You also know that I am just a shareholder of the company, and I am responsible for the company for what I do."
"Although your plan makes me very excited, I don't have the power to make my own decision and directly transfer 50% of the equity of a small company to you."
The two of them had been talking a lot just now, and now Jobs was speaking very calmly.
But because Jobs was so generous just now, Yang Ling wasn't angry at all.
Of course Yang Ling knew what was going on.
Most companies as big as others can come over to talk to you and ask them to take out 20 million from their pockets as soon as you open your mouth.
And he still owns half of the shares.
If the board of directors there doesn't directly fire Steve Jobs, it would be a disgrace.
Including the 35 million contract mentioned by Samit and the others before.
That contract is of course not just a contract for a product called Kongling MP3.
Instead, it includes Yangling’s previous products.
In addition, the copyright of all technologies produced within the next five years will belong to the fruit company.
This is a contract of sale.
Of course Yang Ling couldn't agree.
That's why the lion opened his mouth and said such a very arrogant thing.
But for anyone, being able to earn such a price in a fruit company is something worth bragging about.
This price is enough for one person to live without worries for a lifetime.
What's more, after joining that company, the future is promising. There is no guarantee of what kind of achievements you can achieve in 5 years. By then, your net worth may have doubled again.
These are things that are hard to say.
But Yang Ling decisively rejected this condition and was completely unwilling to agree.
Ouyang Lian makes beautiful jokes, but Yang Ling does always have his own temper.
This is a matter of investing 20 million within one year and then acquiring 50% of the equity.
In fact, it was just Yang Ling who was angry and said it casually.
"Just say that what you said just now was all a joke. Then it seems that there is no need to talk more about our cooperation."
Yang Ling pretended to be serious and said.
Jobs said with a smile.
"I am truly honored to work with you."
"I think it's a pity that you don't want to come to my place. You should know that we have a lot of opportunities here."
"New companies must be opened. I believe in your vision and I also believe that the MP3 category can bring new vitality to the global market in the future."
"So I can get an investment of 10 million within a year."
Jobs gritted his teeth and said.
"But I know that the conditions may be a little different from what you said, but what I can guarantee is that I will get you 20% of the equity. And I think the name of this new company should be simpler."
Jobs was still a little nervous when he said this.
From the negotiation process between Yang Ling and Samit just now, we can see that Yang Ling has a very bad temper.
If someone doesn't like it, he will turn around and run away.
When Yang Ling made such conditions just now, it was clear that he did not intend to cooperate.
It was Jobs who gave him the steps to get down, so Yang Ling walked down the steps.
But after the face-saving things are settled, we still have to get back to business seriously.
Yang Ling was silent for a while.
Jobs thought his conditions were too low, making Yang Ling unhappy.
"You have to know that if it is such a contract, there is a cooperative relationship between you and the head office, and the control of the new company is still in your hands. I think this 20% share is not low."
"This company has great development potential in the future. It is very possible that the market value will exceed 50 million, or even hundreds of millions."
"I hope you can still think it through."
Yang Ling replied.
"I didn't mean that."
"Actually, I only need 10% of the equity, but the premise is that you must promise that the investment of 10 million US dollars can be received in time within this year."
"And another thing is, I told him to call the employees of your chip department, and please be able to facilitate it when the time comes."
Jobs pondered for a while and then responded.
"That doesn't matter."
"I can help you negotiate, but you still have to go through the procedures, and it's best to get the consent of others, otherwise I won't be able to easily mobilize them."
"Then what do you think is a more appropriate name for the new company?"
Yang Ling thought for a while and suddenly said.
"This is called the iPod company."
"ipod?"
"That's right."
"That's a pretty good name."
"I really like this name. It sounds like it will definitely grow in the future."
"It does feel that way."
"Then if you don't have any objections, just let it be."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
Jobs readily agreed.
The name is very concise and easy to pronounce.
It is very suitable for his size, such a small MP3-like hardware.
It is necessary to use a name with a simple concept so that it can match their temperament.
Jobs hung up the phone.
Samit on the other end was sulking.
Samit would never have thought of it.
How could a man like Steve Jobs do such a stupid thing?
Such a shrewd person encountered such a major setback in the mainland market of Xia Kingdom.
You must know that Jobs's decision this time is likely to affect his future prospects.
The current fruit company is still prosperous.
There have been a lot of good innovations in the past two days.
It is also quite famous in Silicon Valley.
But this is not enough to give them such rampant capital.
Including initially spending 35 million to buy out Yang Ling for five years.
Later, we had to spend 20 million to invest in Yang Ling's cooperation technology in vain.
It requires money, effort, and technology.
This is really a loss to grandma's house.
And the two of them are still chatting happily.
It seems like the two of them really hit it off, like a father and son who have been separated for a long time, which is really a bit outrageous.
If it weren't for the fact that their faces were quite different, even Samit would have begun to believe this statement.
Yang Ling hung up the phone and threw the phone to Samit.
And like Samit said.
"The contract will be here soon, just ask Miss Ouyang then."
