It’s past two o’clock in the afternoon!
Lei Lu, the president of Apple's China region, secretly came downstairs of the company. This operation was relatively low-key and secretive, and not many people knew about it.
This is also at the request of Apple. If the outside world knew about this, it would really be shameful!
Liu Haoyu did not take the initiative to publicize and hype this matter, because it was not very helpful to Universe Technology.
Universe Technology is not a listed company, and speculation cannot increase the stock price. Moreover, Universe Technology is well-known enough. Recently, there are no reports about Universe Technology on the Internet.
"Director Liu, Mr. Lei from Apple China District has arrived downstairs in our company and has arranged for someone to come to our conference room. Would you like to arrange a translator for you later?" Looking at Liu Haoyu, Zhang Lei said with a smile.
The president of Apple China is an authentic American, and it seems that his Chinese is not very good.
"Come on! No need! Don't you know that I am the top scorer in the college entrance examination? I have perfect scores in English. Besides, you think they didn't bring a translator!" When it comes to this, Liu Haoyu is very good at it.
Although my college entrance examination results are all fake, no one knows this! It still feels good to say it occasionally and pretend.
Zhang Lei had a wry smile on his face, his expression suddenly froze, and it took him a while to recover.
Can this be compared! No matter how good you are in English in high school, it is just learning, and you still don’t know your actual ability! What's more, this negotiation is not a daily communication, and a lot of professional terms will be used in the negotiation!
"Director Liu, you only got perfect marks in high school English. If you got perfect marks in college English, you're not even close." Looking at Liu Haoyu's narcissistic look, Zhang Lei couldn't help but hit him.
Speaking of which, Zhang Lei's own English is not bad, and he has no problem with simple communication. If it involves professional terminology, he can only stare and understand half of it.
"The full score in high school English is very good. At least there is no problem in normal communication..."
Boom, boom, boom!
"Come in!" Interrupted by a knock on the door, Liu Haoyu had to stop teasing Zhang Lei.
Xu Li opened the door and walked in. She was dressed in professional business clothes. She was dressed very beautifully today. At least she looked more elegant than usual.
Liu Haoyu's eyes lit up when he saw it. Zhang Lei's assistant usually didn't dress up so well.
"Cough!" Zhang Lei coughed lightly, which also made Liu Haoyu withdraw his attention.
"Isn't it just the president of a district of a large company who has arrived at the company! As for how well-dressed he is? Do you still want to hook up with me?" After looking at Xu Li's outfit today again, Liu Haoyu made a joke with a smile. .
In fact, when he said these words again, Liu Haoyu really had such thoughts in his heart.
"Director Liu is joking, aren't I trying to bring some glory to our company? If we dress up nicely, others will think more highly of our company, right?" Faced with Liu Haoyu's teasing, Xu Li gave her a wink and replied unwillingly. One sentence.
Xu Li didn't care about Liu Haoyu's words. She knew that her boss liked to make jokes when he was bored.
"I think it's not about making people think highly of our company, but how much they think highly of you!" Liu Haoyu curled his lips in a weird tone.
"Okay! I'm still waiting! What are you two doing! Xu Li, have you brought Mr. Lei to the conference room?" Seeing the two people bickering endlessly, Zhang Lei had no choice but to change the topic.
The senior executives of Apple are waiting for you in the conference room, but the real boss is chatting in his office, leaving others alone. If the news gets out, he will not be sprayed to death.
"Yes! I just brought it to the conference room!" Xu Li returned to her serious face and replied.
"Well, let's go then!" Liu Haoyu spread his hands, looking indifferent.
Regarding Apple's visit this time, Liu Haoyu did not express any hope of cooperation. Even if there was a possibility of cooperation, it was Apple that came to him. Therefore, Liu Haoyu didn't pay much attention to Apple, and even just asked Xu Li to pick up people instead of Zhang Lei.
"Director Liu, why don't you change your clothes?" Xu Li reminded kindly as she pointed at Liu Haoyu's casual clothes with her index finger.
After all, this is a formal discussion about cooperation, so it would be inappropriate to wear casual clothes.
"No! Let's go! Even if I change, I don't have any other clothes! Besides, I feel good!" Liu Haoyu shook his head and walked out first without caring.
Xu Li and Zhang Lei looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. The chairman was still too willful!
However, people have willful capital!
The two of them sighed secretly and walked out.
Lei Lu and the two accompanying people were in the conference room, waiting silently without moving around. In fact, it was just a conference room, and there was nothing interesting to see.
There was a cup of tea in front of everyone, but none of them drank it, they just left it there to dry quietly.
At this time, the door to the conference room was opened, and Liu Haoyu and Zhang Lei and Xu Li walked in.
Lei Lu, who was facing the end, was sitting in the middle and stood up first, followed closely by the two people around him.
"Hello, I am Liu Haoyu, the chairman of Universe Technology!" Liu Haoyu did not speak English, but greeted Mr. Lei in Mandarin.
"Hello Liu, nice to meet you. You are really young. I am Lei Lu, the president of Apple China!" Lei Lu smiled brightly and politely said this in awkward Chinese. and extended his hand.
Liu Haoyu stepped forward and shook Lei Lu's hand. After letting go of his hand, he motioned for everyone to sit down.
Without any unnecessary pleasantries, after sitting down, Liu Haoyu took the lead in getting to the point of the meeting and said: "Mr. Lei, our company received a call from you yesterday, saying that you would talk to us on behalf of your company headquarters. Regarding the cooperation with Tai Chi Voice Assistant. I would like to ask, what kind of cooperation do you want to have on this software?"
Liu Haoyu spoke smooth standard Mandarin, and his speaking speed was not very fast.
Lei Lu obviously spoke good Chinese. He did not ask the accompanying translator to translate for him. Instead, he turned his ears and stopped seriously.
As soon as Liu Haoyu finished speaking, he paused and looked straight at Lei Lu and the others opposite, waiting for their replies.
Lei Lu lowered his head slightly and was thinking seriously, whether he was thinking about what Liu Haoyu just said or how to get back to Liu Haoyu's question.
After more than ten seconds, Lei Lu moved his body, looked directly at Liu Haoyu, and began to answer in unskilled Chinese!
"Mr. Liu, this time I am indeed here on behalf of the headquarters. I want to talk about whether your company can sell the source code of the Tai Chi voice assistant software. For this reason, our company can spend huge sums of money to purchase it. Of course, we also know that your company The company will not give up this software, so we are just buying it, not acquiring it, and your company can still use this software for business operations outside of the Apple system."
After finishing speaking, Lei Lu stared at Liu Haoyu closely, showing his sincerity!
Just buy the right to use it?
Liu Haoyu smacked his tongue slightly, this was different from what he thought! He thought Apple was going to acquire it!
Now it seems that this is not the case. Apple's plan should be to purchase the source code of this software, then develop and adapt the iOS version by itself, and finally achieve an operating experience like the Android version.
