American Fortune Life

Look at Andy's expression, everyone, including Eric, doesn't twitch from the corner of his mouth, Nima. God doesn't care about greedy vampires!

As Andy said, he prefers the way Free City APP will be listed in the future, and he will never put up too many shares for the first round of financing.

After all, the company needs a lot of money to grow. Although he has money, he can play on his own, but in the face of Apple's competitive advantage, and in the face of new players entering, Andy has to make strategic changes and pull one by one.

If Google were to set up an app store, Andy's Freedom City would end up in a three-pronged situation in the face of a bundled sales strategy that Apple and Google would inevitably implement in the absence of system program advantages.

Tripod, that is only the best outcome in a level playing field. However, monopolistic Google and Apple will definitely kick the City of Freedom out of the game by demonstrating that "the nature of business is profit by profit”.

Apple, for example, bundled its own browser in its iOS system and removed its competitors' google maps and oils.

The reason why Google opens Android systems for free is to turn Android systems into a tool, in addition to the fact that the speed of communication dominates the smartphone system market, and more importantly, to strengthen its dominance in the search engine market, you know that Google requires mobile phone manufacturers to make Google their default search engine. Preventing existing competitors and potential competition competes with them for innovating better mobile systems based on value.

Like many years ago, Microsoft bundled IE browsers in its Windows system and eventually kicked out web browsers.

“I know, and I recognize, that you Google because Android has great advantages, and that's why I'm willing to accept your willingness to be a shareholder.

But that doesn't mean you can use it as a bargaining chip to put pressure on us, and it's also because of your advantage that we put this exclusive xing condition into the agreement.

Do you know why Apple doesn't hate to block us and kick us out of the IOS market, but it hasn't? ”

Andy had a smile on his face and a playful question in his tone. He looked at the people on the other side of the Google team with a slightly heavy expression. He didn't wait for the other person to answer, and he didn't need the other person to answer.

“This is thanks to the United States, as well as to many Western countries, for their strong encouragement of free competition and the protection of start-ups. So monopoly is its original sin.

As long as any bundled sale or exclusive xing agreement is used to combat competitors and consolidate their market leadership position, the company will be subject to antitrust litigation.

Jobs, and even Apple's board of directors... Oh, I almost forgot, Eric, you're still on the board at Apple, but it's okay, I'm not afraid to be more straightforward.

Because Apple knows perfectly well that once we use the Exclusive xing agreement or block Freedom City directly, Apple will face our antitrust lawsuits globally and we will die at all costs! ”

Andy smiled, revealing his big white teeth, his eyes flashing, looking at Eric, who was slightly embarrassed by the opposite expression, and saw his mouth smoke two distinct times.

Eric felt the look on everyone's face, including his own, but his heart had already begun to curse him. At the Apple board meeting, he did discuss shielding the City of Freedom, but he also made a lot of people throw rat whiskeys at the crazy dog character of the young man in front of him.

Now listen to Andy say it in person, Eric seems to have run over 10,000 beasts in front of him and puked on him like KUO water.

Actually, Eric is also very tough right now, and Andy says the same thing about his need to make a decision as soon as possible, because Google and Apple are increasingly competing in multiple core areas, and he has to choose between Google CEO and Apple Board members.

So, Andy, this conversation really poked Eric in the eye!

“Ultimately, there is a way to avoid it, a vibrant ecosystem, where rapid renewal and lower prices are typical features of strong competition. And bundled selling is a very common selling behavior, which is not a big problem.

Let's get down to business, let's not go in circles, we at Google are very keen on the future of Freedom City, but we can't accept such a demanding request from you.

We must ensure that Google's interests, after all, once we join the City of Freedom, will thus become an integral part of the Android system as the largest channel for obtaining third-party applications on the Android platform, which will generate more revenue and traffic for the City of Freedom, as you all know very well.

Less than 10% of the shares are not attractive to Google at all, so we have to reconsider our own APP app store! ”

Looking at Eric's smile on his face, Andy sighed in his heart, too, and, yes, he meshed, accustomed to monopoly business, dominant business, all of which he meshed with was not good.

In fact, Andy was also very clear that if he wanted to compile Google and stop running his own APP app store, he would never accept it without sufficient benefits.

Even if it did, Andy wanted to come, Google was up to the idea of a total takeover or a slow encroachment, playing with a nest of pigeons.

Andy had no doubt that they would plan to do so, but he wasn't very worried that the main purpose of this financing was to get Google hooked up and allow Freedom City, which was temporarily stuck in a development bottleneck, to fill the final system foundation shortcut and compete more with Apple.

He also figured that five percent, 10 percent, or even all 15 percent of the financing claimed this time would never satisfy Google's appetite in the face of Google's lion's mouth, because thinking differently, Andy himself, would never agree.

Even though Google cannot predict that Android operating systems may have a market share of 95% of the world's licensable smart mobile operating systems in the future, Google has some confidence in Android's market prospects and development.

“Speak your bottom line, and if we can work together, we naturally want to have more friends than one more competitor.” Andy looked faint, his eyes and Eric's unyielding gaze.

“If possible, we at Google are willing to merge and acquire the City of Liberty in the form of cash plus shares, up 20% on the basis of the current valuation! ”

“Well, it turns out, you're really up to this idea. Forget about the mergers and acquisitions, let's just say your final plan. We're all sincere and don't have to waste any more time.” Andy shook his head and smiled, his eyes sharply glaring at each other and said faintly.

“Since M&As are not successful, our terms remain unchanged, with 30% of the shares and three board seats... ”

“30% is impossible, you can only get one board seat, you can serve in the City of Liberty, 15%, I will also take out 5% and introduce several investment companies, 2% as the company's equity incentive... ”

“15% is too little, at least 25%, and we, as owners of the Android system, must guarantee our own interests... ”

“There's only so much, after Round B, Round C financing, I have to have enough chips in my hand, I don't want to make a wedding dress for her! Moreover, the future of the City of Freedom could be valued at more than 5 billion. ”

Eric watched Andy bite to death, his eyes squinted slightly, he just wanted to say a few threatening words, and when he saw a slight smile in the corner of the other person's mouth, Eric still pressed down on the idea of chewing Andy's emotions.

“20%, two board seats, the current valuation rises by 20%, which is already our bottom line, if we can't make a deal, then we don't have to go on talking about it, and in the future, Round B, Round C, we have the priority to make up 20% of the shares! ”
