"Boss Chen, I don't think it's necessary for us to negotiate with Microsoft."
"Haha, Brother Jian, you're so domineering. Microsoft took the initiative to negotiate, and you don't want to negotiate?"
"It's not domineering. Whether we negotiate with Microsoft or not, it doesn't affect us much."
"That's true."
Chen Yu nodded. "But since Bill wants to negotiate, let's negotiate with him."
"Boss Chen, you …?"
"Don't worry."
Chen Yu was in a good mood. "But if Bill wants to negotiate, let's negotiate with him. However, it was not up to him to decide when or where he wanted to discuss the matter. We have to decide how we want to negotiate, where we want to negotiate, and whether he wants to negotiate or not. Tell them that we have a lot of work to do, and we'll leave him alone for a month. "
"Okay."
"That's it then. There's nothing much to do in the company this month. I'll go on a one-month vacation first."
"Uh … Boss Chen, that's not very good."
"Why is it not very good?"
"We just told Microsoft that we have something to do, and now you're going on a one-month vacation. Isn't that too …"
"What's too … Microsoft has to learn to adapt."
Speaking of which, Chen Yu hadn't rested for a long time.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yu called Lu Xue. "Lu Xue, what are you doing?"
"I'm busy, what else can I do?"
"Are you that busy? Do you have time to go on a one-month vacation?"
"What, a one-month vacation?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god, Chen Yu, you're not going to care about the company anymore?"
"Of course I'm going to care about the company, but I have to strike a balance between work and rest. Let's go, I've already bought a ticket. I'll go to your place tonight. "
"No, you don't have to care about the company, but I have to."
"What's there to care about? Just leave it to Sister Hui."
Without waiting for Lu Xue to say anything, Chen Yu hung up the phone with a bang.
…
"Steve, did Huanyu Technologies reply?"
"Yes?"
"What did they say?"
"They said that Chen Yu is busy recently."
"You don't want to talk?"
"I don't know … but according to our sources, Chen Yu went to the Maldives for a vacation."
"…"
Bill felt like vomiting blood.
This was called being busy.
However, with the situation like this, what could you do?
"It's fine. Let's wait for a few days."
However, this wait lasted for a month for Bill.
Finally, Chen Yu and Lu Xue came back from their trip.
Actually, Chen Yu didn't want to come back. He wanted to play for another month.
But it's fine if he doesn't return.
On this trip, they had accidentally caused someone's death.
There was no other way.
He had no choice but to take the pregnant Lu Xue home.
The two of them were not people who liked to be high-profile. Now that the conditions were right, the two of them held a simple wedding in their hometown in a low-key manner.
It took almost another month for Chen Yu to return to the company.
When Bill heard that Chen Yu was back, he heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that Chen Yu didn't want to talk anymore.
Three days later, Bill personally went to Huanyu Technologies.
"Mr. Bill, I'm sorry. There were a lot of things that I had to deal with previously. It took some time."
"I should be the one apologizing. I didn't know that you're married until now. If I knew, I would have attended your wedding personally."
"Mr. Bill, you're too kind. We only held a small wedding. We don't want to attract the attention of the public."
Although Microsoft was his archenemy, he still had to say some polite words.
After some pleasantries, Chen Yu brought Bill around Huanyu Technologies.
Then, the two parties sat together and started the so-called negotiation.
"Boss Chen, first of all, I want to congratulate your company on the sales of the Super Pear 2. Look, I'm using your company's Pear phone."
Before the negotiation, Bill took out a phone.
Just like what he wrote in the letter, he would always use the Pear phone.
"Thank you, Mr. Bill, for your support."
Chen Yu smiled and replied calmly.
This trick was useless to him.
Of course, Bill didn't expect Chen Yu to have any good impression of Microsoft or him just because he bought a Pear phone.
But Bill would still do what needed to be done.
Then, Bill said, "Boss Chen, I believe you can feel our sincerity. This time, we're here to cooperate with Huanyu Technologies in many ways."
"Cooperation? How is it legal?"
"For example, in the area of smartphones."
"Oh?"
Chen Yu pretended to be surprised and said, "Does Microsoft also have a smartphone business?"
This sentence made Bill extremely embarrassed.
Microsoft naturally had a smartphone business.
For example, their smartphone operating system, Windows Mobile, had a very low market share.
Although they had reached cooperation with several mobile phone giants.
But the general feedback from users was that Windows Mobile's performance was mediocre.
Not to mention the Pear system, even the Kirin system launched by Huanyu Technologies was far inferior.
"Boss Chen, you must be joking. Our Windows Mobile's performance is not very good, but we still have a small market share."
"Oh, Mr. Bill, you're talking about Windows Mobile."
Chen Yu nodded meaningfully and said, "You want to cooperate with us in the smartphone system?"
"Boss Chen is wise."
"How?"
"I wonder if Boss Chen is interested in our Windows Mobile?"
"You want to sell Windows Mobile?"
Bill nodded.
"Price?"
"One billion USD."
"Sorry, not interested."
Chen Yu shook his head.
"Boss Chen, don't be in a hurry to refuse."
Knowing that Chen Yu would refuse, Bill said again, "Although our Windows Mobile's market share is not as high as your company's, one billion USD is a good price. In addition, once Boss Chen acquires Windows Mobile, your company will completely monopolize the mobile operating system. "
"Haha, this is a good pie."
But it was a pity.
Chen Yu was not interested in Bill's pie. "Mr. Bill, you have a good plan. However, even if we acquire Windows Mobile, we don't monopolize the mobile operating system for the time being. Doesn't Google have Android? In addition, Nokia also has Symbian, and Samsung may also have their own operating system. "
"Even so, acquiring Windows Mobile can speed up your company's monopolization process."
"Even if we don't acquire Windows Mobile, we can still dominate the global mobile operating system market."
Chen Yu was extremely confident in this.
"Boss Chen is really bold."
Bill was not anxious about Chen Yu's refusal.
When he came to Huanyu Technologies today, he had already made many plans.
If this plan did not work, then he would have to make another plan.
Then, Bill continued, "I also believe in Boss Chen's ability. In this case, I wonder if Boss Chen is interested in Microsoft's Internet business. "
"Your Internet business … MSN?"
"Not just MSN, but all of Microsoft's Internet business."
"Actually, it's the same … We are slightly interested in MSN."
"We can sell MSN to your company."
"Price?"
"Five billion USD."
"This price is not bad."
Chen Yu nodded.
If they acquired MSN at this price, it would be a great help to their WeChat.
However, he knew that MSN was not something that could be acquired easily.
"Mr. Bill, tell me your request."
"We hope to invest in Super Pear at the same price as MSN."
Chen Yu was stunned when he saw this.
Bill increased the price again. "Of course, not only Super Pear, but also our Windows Mobile. Microsoft can package and sell them to Huanyu Technologies."
"Understood."
In the end …
This one was to be sold to Chen Yu, and that one was to be sold to Huanyu Technologies.
In the end, Bill was still thinking about Pear.
It made sense.
In the smartphone industry, Microsoft was no match for Huanyu Technologies.
Instead of fighting with Huanyu Technologies, it was better to invest in Pear.
It had to be said that Bill had good foresight and was very bold.
He actually thought of sending his own Windows Mobile and MSN away as a way to invest in Super Pear.
But …
Super Pear was not a company that Bill could invest in just because he wanted to.
"How about this, Mr. Bill, I have a very good idea for cooperation."
Looking at Bill, Chen Yu thought of an idea.
"What idea?"
"Since Mr. Bill is so interested in Super Pear, why don't you package it and sell it to us?"
"Package it together?"
"Yes."
"Windows Mobile and MSN. Boss Chen, what other businesses do you want from Microsoft?"
"When I said together, it means all of us will be together."
"You mean, all of Microsoft's businesses, including Windows?"
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded without hesitation. "Mr. Bill, you just said that you like our Super Pear so much. Why don't you sell it to us together? By then, we'll be a family. Our Super Pear will also be your Super Pear. What do you think? "
