Chapter 280 Familiar Faces

Although Pingchun attaches great importance to it, Lin Hui has no intention of raising the price.

First of all, this is unethical in business.

Secondly, if it were not Apple, Lin Hui could not think of other potential users of shortcut commands.

Do we have to count on domestic Internet companies?

Meat eaters are despicable.

At this time, there are only a few far-sighted Internet companies in China.

They are basically "meat eaters".

Although the shortcut command software was not popular in the eyes of many domestic Internet companies in its previous life.

But this does not mean that this software has no value.

For Apple, which has always been in the circle of cuteness, although the shortcut command software is not unprecedented in significance, it is definitely very meaningful.

The software form of shortcut commands breaks through the limitations of iOS's sandbox, which provides a completely new perspective for Apple's understanding of the system.

If the shortcut software can be combined with Siri, it may also help Apple's VOICEOVER work in this area.

If Apple is willing to continue to work in this area, it can greatly improve the user's human-computer interaction experience.

It’s hard to say no to Pingshi, which has always advertised “humanistic care”.

There are many knowledgeable people on Apple's side. Now that they have decided to acquire the shortcut command software, they will definitely see the value contained in this software.

In addition, Apple has made quite a few acquisitions.

However, except for the occasional big move, Guozi's acquisitions are generally focused on acquiring small and medium-sized companies and some entrepreneurial teams that are still in their infancy.

In this case, the after-tax transaction amount, such as the transfer of the Quick Command APP, is tens of millions of dollars or even close to 100 million US dollars. Although it is not a sky-high acquisition for Apple, which has deep pockets, it can still be regarded as a huge acquisition.

Pingcheng also has to pay attention to a transaction of this scale.

In short, although Pingchun sent a special person to China to sign a contract with Lin Hui, it was unexpected, but it was true and reasonable.

Lin Hui has many familiar faces in the negotiation team that Pingchun signed a formal contract with Lin Hui this time.

Lin Hui saw He Yuhui, He Yue and others.

Lin Hui basically met these people the last time he negotiated a game exclusive sharing agreement with Apple.

Not long after the signing of the exclusive sharing agreement, Lin Hui was quite impressed.

However, not everyone was familiar to Lin Hui, and there were also a few unfamiliar faces among them.

Except for the leader, most of the unfamiliar faces were Chinese.

The man at the head had a typical Western face, and looked like he would avoid strangers.

This person seems to be from Pingchi headquarters.

Lin Hui guessed that this person should be the commissioner sent by Pingchun headquarters to be in charge of signing the formal contract.

Sure enough, this person's name was Camila Blanco, who claimed to be Adrian Perica's senior assistant.

Adrian Perica joined Apple in 2009 and has since overseen the successful merger of key technologies and new businesses across a range of hardware, software and services areas.

Although he did not visit China in person this time, the visit of his senior assistant is obviously not much different from his personal visit.

As a senior assistant, Camila Blanco must also have high authority.

Although this person's authority is not low, except when signing a formal contract, this person is responsible for signing the contract.

In fact, during the negotiation process, the person who mainly dealt with Lin Hui was He Yue, who Lin Hui had met before.

So the soul of the team that Pingchun sent when signing the formal contract was actually He Yue?

Lin Hui remembered that the last time he negotiated a share-sharing contract with Pingchun, the core member of the negotiation team sent by Pingchun was He Yue.

Although this was true both times, the negotiations were clearly different.

Like last time, it was just a negotiation about the share ratio, but this time it actually involved a huge amount of real money.

Although there was very little content that He Yue could freely express during the negotiation process.

But Apple's headquarters actually entrusted He Yue with such a transaction with an after-tax turnover of US$75 million.

This is undoubtedly a great trust.

If we look at the problem from a development perspective.

It can be seen that He Yue's status seems to be slowly rising in the eyes of Pingcheng's senior management.

Lin Hui thought this was unusual.

You must know that Pingcheng is in the period of four major business groups in China at this time.

Not even a headquarters, but four business groups?

Generally speaking, setting up a number of business groups without a headquarters is usually for rapid business expansion.

But this is obviously not the case in China.

Pingchun China used to have a headquarters, but it was canceled due to some reasons.

After dismantling the headquarters, four business groups were established in the Chinese market.

In this case, this group of business groups that do not belong to each other is obviously the result of checks and balances.

Even a layman knows that these checks and balances lead to a loss of efficient business efficiency.

Pingchun International is well aware of this, but at this time Pingchun obviously does not pay attention to the Chinese market.

(Although our country has the largest number of potential users.

But in fact, the battlefield involving high-end mobile phone technology giants competing globally at this time is actually Europe.

You can get a glimpse of it by looking at the high prices of European versions of various mobile phones.)

In the case of decentralized checks and balances among Pingchang China's four business groups.

Now within Pingchang China, there is a He Yue who seems to be trusted by Pingchang's top management.

Does this mean that Apple is likely to end the period of Apple China’s four major business groups earlier than in previous lives?

If this is the case, then Lin Hui is likely to face stronger potential enemies in advance.

If this is true, this is not a good thing for Lin Hui and the domestic mobile phone market at this time.

At this time, Pingchun, which is like a mess in the country, has shown sufficient competitiveness.

If integrated, the strength cannot be underestimated.

And He Yue also has the ability to integrate the domestic affairs that are still in disarray at this time.

Speaking of "He Yue", Lin Hui was not very familiar with this name before.

I just know that this person previously worked on Apple's wireless technology team.

But after signing the exclusive agreement last time, Lin Hui still collected a lot of information.

Lin Hui didn't even give up on the software such as LinkedIn on the mobile phone in his previous life.

Hard work pays off, after a lot of cramming of information recently.

Lin Hui discovered that this He Yue was highly similar to the Ge Yue in his previous life in terms of his place of origin, education and employment experience.

It can even be said that these "two people" are the same person.

As for why the name is different from the previous life?

It may be because of the appearance of some mythical beasts across time and space called river crabs.

Judging from his previous life experience, this person's service experience is quite exciting.
