Chapter 301: Capture Alibao

After Sun Zhengyi entered Jobs's office, he unexpectedly found that there was a young man sitting in it drinking tea, and he couldn't help but secretly guess who this young man was.

Sun Zhengyi waved his fist and said confidently: "Mr. Jobs, I am here to negotiate with you about SoftBank becoming the exclusive distributor of iPhone in Japan, which will be a strong combination, and our SoftBank Company ......"

Jobs didn't like to be interrupted when he was talking, because Liu Meng had a good impression of him as a listener before, but he liked to interrupt others, and he didn't give others face at all, and gestured and said: "You don't even have a mobile operator, and you want the exclusive agency of the iPhone in Japan, are you crazy?" Jobs's answer made Sun Zhengyi's enthusiasm drop to the freezing point, but at the same time, Sun Zhengyi had an epiphany, understood the problem, and didn't reply with a word of nonsense: "Okay, Steve, I'll buy a Japanese operator", Sun Zhengyi said seriously, but Jobs thought he was joking, but Liu Meng knew that this madman would definitely do it.

"Does I own a Japanese operator, and Apple can give us the exclusive agency right for the iPhone?" Sun Zhengyi squinted his eyes and flashed with wisdom, and Jobs was about to agree with a smile, when Liu Meng suddenly said: "I'm sorry, even if you buy the entire Japanese operator, you won't give you the exclusive agency." ”

Sun Zhengyi looked at the young man who was talking in a daze, and then said angrily: "I am talking to Mr. Jobs about a big business of tens of billions of dollars. Where is your right to interject, huh, young man. I don't know how thick the sky is. ”

Jobs smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you may not know that just yesterday, this young man has become the largest shareholder of our Apple company. ”

After the release of the iPhone, Apple's stock price soared all the way, and then according to Liu Meng's previous plan, he gradually released a rumor to sue Apple, and only one news came out. The stock price has started to fall sharply again, mainly because Apple is now too dependent on the iPhone, so that those shareholders immediately understand the importance of the iPhone. Under the coercion and temptation of Jobs, he finally transferred 25% of the shares, and now Liu Meng has obtained 51% of Apple's shares and is already a complete major shareholder.

Sun Zhengyi obviously didn't expect it. Half-convinced: "Hehe." Don't be kidding, Apple's stock is a chicken that lays golden eggs, and who will sell it. ”

Jobs threw a few copies of the essay to Sun Zhengyi and said, "You can see for yourself." ”

Sun Zhengyi's face changed greatly after seeing it, he stood up straight, and said solemnly to Liu Meng: "Mr. Liu Meng, I'm sorry, I'm offended." ”

Liu Meng didn't like him and didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he said directly: "I want all the shares of Alibao in your hands." Let's make a condition. ”

Sun Zhengyi didn't expect Liu Meng to put forward this condition, and his mind turned. "I want the exclusive rights to the iPhone in Japan, and I also want a little bit of Apple's shares," he said. ”

At this time, Alibao has not yet shown its dominance, and its value is not high, like such a nascent Internet company, he has to invest in hundreds of companies a year, Sun Zhengyi did not pay too much attention to it, and the initial investment was only 20 million US dollars.

"I'll buy your Alibao shares for 50 million dollars, and as soon as you buy an operator, I'll persuade Mr. Jobs to give you the exclusive agency rights for the iPhone, and as for the shares of Apple, you can buy them from the stock market, and buy as much as you want. Liu Meng said coldly, in his words, he still respects Jobs' absolute leadership position, and there is no change because of the major shareholder, which is the condition that was said at the beginning, and Jobs is very satisfied after listening to it.

Although he didn't know the details of Liu Meng, Sun Zhengyi was still very angry, Alibao's shares were worth at least more than 100 million US dollars, and he was still very optimistic about the development of this company and didn't want to sell it. "I'm sorry, but I can't sell you Alibao's shares. ”

Although Jobs didn't know why Liu Meng wanted to buy this Alibao company, of course, he was on the same front with Liu Meng, and said at the moment: "Sun Zhengyi, the exclusive agent of iPhone in Japan, how much profit will be created for you in a year, you don't want to lose a big deal because of a small one, we are not a fair negotiation, you have no bargaining capital, if you can't reach an agreement, I can only ask you out." ”

Just kidding, Jobs often scolds Gates and criticizes Google, how can a SoftBank be in his eyes.

Sun Zhengyi felt that he had received unfair treatment and humiliation, but he was also a businessman, and he still bargained: "I don't want the 50 million dollars, but give me 1% of Apple's shares." ”

Liu Meng was very angry, if it weren't for the patent that choked the seven inches of those shareholders, where would he get the shares, now the acquisition cost of the retail market is much higher, and the price has gone to more than 100 US dollars, which is a big fucking advantage.

"0.5% Apple shares, that's my bottom line. After finishing speaking, Liu Meng turned his face away, the meaning was very clear, and if he didn't agree, he would just shoot it and leave it alone.

Sun Zhengyi thought for a moment and asked, "I want to ask His Excellency Liu Meng a question, if you tell me honestly, I will agree to this deal." ”

"Say!"

"Why are you so interested in Alibao, as far as I know, it's just a well-developed Internet company. ”

"Because I am from Huaxia and often shop on Alibao, I was very upset to learn that the largest shareholder is you, and this is my real answer, believe it or not. ”

"Well, I believe you, you Chinese men sometimes want to save face like this, in fact, what does it matter. ”

Liu Meng snorted and said: "I heard that your ancestors are still Chinese, and you are the descendants of your grandson. ”

Sun Zhengyi said proudly: "Of course, I have always been proud to be a descendant of Sun Tzu, our SoftBank company philosophy is Sun Tzu's Art of War, okay, I agree to exchange with you, now I will go back and buy a mobile operator." ”

Sun Zhengyi is indeed a very decisive and efficient person, and immediately began to go through the procedures after the negotiation, and then flew back to Japan to acquire mobile operators.

After he left, Jobs wondered, "Is that your real answer?"

Liu Meng nodded and said, "Of course." He added, "However, I am also optimistic about the company's future potential." ”

Vodafone Japan, Japan's third-largest operator after NTTDOCOMO and KDDI, is not only in debt of 1.9 trillion yen under competitive pressure, but also has lost its armor due to poor network quality and damaged brand image. When this "sinking ship" was put up for sale, all domestic operators in Japan avoided it, but Sun Zhengyi made a decisive move and offered a sky-high price of 2 trillion yen, and Sun Zhengyi also fell into the reputation of a "crazy gambler".

In addition to the richest man in Japan and the founder of Uniqlo, Yanai Masa, who shares Sun Zhengyi's belief that the mobile Internet era will come and praises Sun Zhengyi's mergers and acquisitions, all the voices wrapped around Sun Zhengyi are singing and declining, and investors in the capital market have also voted with their feet, and SoftBank's stock price plummeted 60% in just two days. However, Sun Zhengyi had no time to care about the intrusion of the surrounding noise, and at the same time as changing the name of Vodafone Japan to SoftBank Mobile, SoftBank launched a carpet marketing advertisement, and for a while, "Softbank" signboards appeared everywhere in the streets and alleys of Japan.

What really made SoftBank Mobile famous in Japan should be the telecom price war initiated by Sun Zhengyi. The day before the implementation of the number porting system, SoftBank Mobile announced a "gold plan" to significantly reduce mobile phone call tariffs, and the amazing thing about this plan is that all users who join the package can make calls and text messages to each other within the SoftBank network for free. Soon after, SoftBank launched the famous "WhitePlan" plan, which directly refers to NTTDOCOMO and KDDI for a monthly fee of about 4,000 yen, and launched a monthly rental service of 980 yen per month. SoftBank's mobile users have skyrocketed.

With its own high-speed optical brazing and harvesting a growing user base, Sun Zhengyi will naturally have more confidence to introduce the iPhone to Japan, and then SoftBank will get Apple's exclusive agency license in Japan. Just like the previous acquisition of Vodafone Japan was not favored by the market, Sun Zhengyi's introduction of iPhone was also scoffed at by NTTDOCOMO and KDDI, because for a long time, Japanese people rarely use foreign brands of mobile phones. But for Son Zhengyi, in addition to fulfilling his oath to Jobs, because Vodafone Japan was once a symbol of low-end networks, and the subsequent price war launched by SoftBank Mobile further lowered SoftBank's image, therefore, only by introducing the popular iPhone all over the world, SoftBank can not be marginalized.

Next, in addition to Sun Zhengyi personally to the business hall to sell, with a large number of trainers to teach the Japanese to use the iPhone, SoftBank also launched no down payment and 0 yuan purchase service, at the same time, SoftBank launched a number of self-developed common APP, in developed cities to spread WiFi network. Crowds of young, fashionable Japanese began to flock to the SoftBank network, spending more than ten times as much on data on iPhones as on feature phones each month, and SoftBank quickly became the first operator in Japan to earn more than voice revenue.

What Sun Zhengyi didn't know was that when SoftBank's acquisition of Vodafone Japan's stock price plummeted, Liu Meng bought a large number of shares of SoftBank, and even joined some other shareholders to have the qualifications to argue with Sun Zhengyi. (To be continued......) R1292
