Looking at Andy's expressions, everyone including Eric couldn't twitch at the corner of his mouth. Nima's, God would not care about the greedy vampire!

Like Andy said, he is more optimistic about the future listing of Liberty City App. He will definitely not take out too many shares for the first round of financing.

After all, the company needs a lot of funds to develop. Although he has money and can play by himself, facing the competitive advantage of Apple and the entry of new players, Andy has to make strategic changes and pull one to the other. .

If Google is really allowed to set up an application software store, Andy ’s Liberty City lacks the advantages of a system program and faces the bundled sales strategy that Apple and Google will inevitably implement. The best outcome is simply a triad situation.

Tripod stands, and that's just the best result in a level playing field. However, Google and Apple, which are in a monopoly position, will definitely perform the play of "the essence of business is profit-seeking" and completely kick out the city of freedom.

For example, Apple bundled its own browser in its ios system, and removed the Google Maps and Youtuo of its competitors.

The reason why Google opened the Android system for free is to turn Android into a tool. In addition to taking the speed of the smartphone system market, it is more important to strengthen its dominance in the search engine market. We must know that Google requires mobile phones. Manufacturers set Google as the default search engine. Stop existing competitors and potential competitors to compete with value-based innovation and better mobile phone systems.

Just like many years ago, Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer into its windowing system, and eventually eliminated Netscape.

"I know and acknowledge that you have a huge advantage because of Android, which is why I am willing to accept your willingness to become a shareholder.

However, this does not mean that you can use it as a bargaining chip to pressure us. Similarly, it is because of your advantage that we will write this exclusive condition into the agreement.

Do you know why Apple Inc. can't wait to block us and kick out of the ios system market, but hasn't done so? "

Andy smiled with a kind smile on his face, and asked with a hint of jokes in his tone. He looked at the dignified expressions of the people on the opposite Google team. He didn't wait for the other party to answer, nor did he need to answer.

"Thanks to the United States, as well as many Western countries, for encouraging free competition and protecting emerging startups. So monopoly status is its original sin.

As long as any bundled sales or exclusive Xing agreement is used to crack down on competitors and strengthen its market leadership position, the company will be subject to antitrust lawsuits.

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

Because Apple is very clear that once we use the exclusive xing agreement or directly block the city of freedom, Apple will face our global antitrust lawsuits, and we will die at all costs! "

Andy smiled calmly, exposing a big white tooth, his eyes flashed and looked at Eric, who was slightly embarrassed, and saw the corners of his mouth twitched obviously.

Eric felt the eyes of everyone, including his own, the same expression on his face, but he had begun cursing in his heart. On the Apple board, he did discuss the need to block the city of freedom, but for the young man in front of him, The mad dog character of many people also makes many people jealous.

Now listening to Andy speaking directly to his face, Eric seems to have run through 10,000 **** beasts, but also spit kuo water-like nausea at him.

In fact, Eric is also very hard now. The problem that Andy said is also that he needs to make a decision as soon as possible. The competition between Google and Apple in multiple core areas is getting fiercer. He must be on the board of Google ceo and Apple. Choose between members.

Therefore, Andy's words really poked Eric's eyes!

"After all, there are ways to avoid it. A vibrant ecosystem, fast updates and lower prices are typical characteristics of strong competition. And bundling is a very common sales behavior, which is not a big problem.

Let ’s get back to business. Let ’s not get around. We at Google are very optimistic about the future of Liberty City, but this share really does not allow us to accept your demanding requirements.

We must guarantee the interests of Google. After all, once we join Liberty City, Liberty City will therefore be the largest channel to obtain third-party applications on the Android platform and become an integral part of the Android system, which will bring Liberty City More revenue and traffic, I believe you are also very clear.

Less than 10% of the shares are not attractive to us at all. In this case, we have to reconsider building an app store! "

Looking at the smiling expression on Eric's face, Andy also sighed in his heart. Well, all he said, he was accustomed to monopolizing business and dominated the company. He did not meow well.

In fact, Andy is also very clear that if he wants to compile Google so that he no longer moves his own app store, without sufficient benefits, the other party will never agree.

Even if you let him join, when Andy wants to come, Google is still doing the idea of ​​wanting a complete acquisition or slowly eating away, playing a dove to occupy the nest.

In this regard, Andy has no doubt that they will plan this way, but he is not very worried. The main purpose of this financing is to hook Google and let the free city that is temporarily stuck in the development bottleneck make up the final system foundation short board. , More focused on competing with Apple.

He also long thought about facing the lion's mouth of Google, 5%, 10%, and even all 15% of the externally announced financing this time could not satisfy Google's appetite, because it is Andy himself, It is never possible to agree.

Even if Google can't predict that the Android operating system may occupy 95% of the global market share of authorized smart mobile operating systems in the future, Google has some confidence in the market outlook and development of the Android system.

"Speak your bottom line. If we can cooperate, we naturally want one more friend, not one more competitor." Andy looked indifferent, his eyes and Eric looked at each other uncompromisingly.

"If possible, we at Google are willing to make a 20% increase in Liberty City's current valuation based on cash and stocks!"

"Oh, sure enough, you are really working on this idea, let's forget about the merger and acquisition, or talk about your final plan, we all show sincerity, there is no need to continue wasting time." Andy shook his head and laughed, Gaze sharply and looked at each other faintly.

"Since the merger and acquisition failed, our conditions remain the same, 30% of the shares and three board seats ..."

"30% is impossible. I can only give you one seat on the board of directors. I can serve in Liberty City. 15%. I will take out 5% and introduce several investment companies. 2% will be used as a company equity incentive ..."

"15% is too small, at least 25%. It cannot be less. As owners of the Android system, we must guarantee our own interests ..."

"There are only so many. In the subsequent rounds of B and C financing, I must have sufficient chips in my hand. I don't want to make a wedding dress for her! And, the city of Liberty will have a valuation of more than 5 billion in the future."

Eric watched Andy's slack attitude, his eyes narrowed slightly, just trying to say a few words of threat, and seeing the slightest smile on the corner of the other side, Eric still suppressed it. bo Andy emotional thoughts.

"20%, two board seats. The current valuation is 20% higher. This is already our bottom line. If neither of these deals can be concluded, then we will not have to talk about it. At the same time, in the next round of b and c rounds of financing , We have priority to make up a 20% share! "
