Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

Body Chapter 486 Firefly OS Global Strategic Plan

After returning to the hotel, Chen Xiao immediately discussed with Wang Xiang the cooperation conditions proposed by Xue Cun on behalf of SoftBank.

Alluring, indeed very alluring.

SoftBank is worthy of being a well-known global investment company (the investment business is not just one of the industries under SoftBank’s). When SoftBank negotiates with the other party, it can always find the weak point of the other party, and can offer very attractive conditions.

Chen Xiao thought that if he could obtain the right to use Intel chips and obtain copyrights granted by a large number of mainstream software companies, then Firefly OS would definitely be able to shine in overseas markets.

But Changtian Technology will also lose 40% of the control of Firefly OS.

The final outcome of Firefly os is likely to be no longer the domestic operating system of Xia Kingdom, but a global operating system.

If Chen Xiao was just an ordinary businessman with the purpose of making money, he would agree with Feng Yun immediately, giving up his shares and agreeing to the cooperation plan.

After all, SoftBank has given Changtian Technology a bright future that can be seen.

But it is a pity that Chen Xiao was born again, and he understands the inferiority of capital too well.

SoftBank is overseas capital, and its purpose is to make money and control the industry.

The countries it serves are the East and the United States, not the Xia Kingdom.

Yesterday, the reason why Xue Cun was able to sit next to Chen Xiao and discuss cooperation with Chen Xiao very kindly is not because of how important Chen Xiao is, but because Changtian Technology's Firefly OS can indeed bring profits to SoftBank.

If Chen Xiao gives up 40% of the equity of Firefly, the future of Firefly OS will grow and even be related to national security.

SoftBank is very likely to stand on the opposite side of Changtian Technology. What should Changtian Technology do at that time?

A very simple example, if the United States feels that Firefly OS affects its national security, it needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of Firefly OS and ask SoftBank to hand over all the data of Firefly os users.

SoftBank is likely to disclose relevant data to the U.S. government for its own interests in the U.S. (many holding companies in both software and hardware are listed in the U.S. and are regulated by relevant U.S. departments, such as Cisco), in order to gain support from the U.S. state.

This is a great threat to Changtian Technology and Xia Guo. The data of Xia Guo users is absolutely not allowed to be disclosed to third-party companies and countries.

Let Changtian Technology give up 40% of the equity of Firefly OS, which is absolutely not acceptable to Changtian Technology.

After detailed discussions between Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang, Chen Xiao came up with the final cooperation plan.

Chen Xiao said to Song Yi, "I told you to remember, and you will sort out what I said later."

It was very late now, but the boss didn't sleep. Of course, Song Yi accompanied the boss to work overtime.

Song Yi immediately took out the Shenchuan Ark Star laptop, opened Xiaoying intelligent assistant and Cangjie office software, and prepared to record every word of Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao said: "We can give up the management rights, operation rights and management rights and all the profits of the markets in South Korea and the United States, and the Firefly os application market in the United States, South Korea and the Orient. We can give them to Softbank, let Softbank holding more than 80% of the shares.”

All of Chen Xiaozhi's considerations are based on two points.

The first point is that Toyo is the home of SoftBank and the place where a large number of game applications are produced.

Toyo Computer has a high penetration rate and a large number of users. This part of the profit is quite considerable. If Changtian Technology is allowed to take a share of it, even if SoftBank is willing, some media in Toyo may not be happy.

However, if the operation rights of Firefly OS are handed over to Softbank, and Softbank is mainly controlled to implement the Toyo localization of Firefly OS, then the resistance to the promotion of Firefly OS will be much smaller.

The second point is that Chen Xiao's expectations for the US market are not high.

Chen Xiao has never dreamed of occupying the U.S. market in a short period of time. The biggest advantage of the U.S. is the Internet and computer technology.

Relevant departments and industries in the United States are very tight on this aspect.

They allow Microsoft's operating system to occupy the global computer operating system market, but they will never allow overseas, especially Xia Guo's operating system, to occupy the domestic market of the United States.

This point, Chen Xiao felt deeply before his rebirth.

Such as the competition between Cisco and Warwick.

Cisco can bid for the construction of 5G communication equipment in Xia, but Xia's companies will never be able to do so in the United States.

Chen Xiao is skeptical about whether Firefly OS can survive in the US domestic market.

Giving the U.S. market to SoftBank is actually just an empty check. If SoftBank really has the strength to let Firefly OS take root in the U.S. local market, then Changtian Technology will of course be happy to see it.

This can also be considered to improve the influence of Firefly OS.

If Firefly OS is still unable to take root in the U.S. market under the efforts of SoftBank, and cannot serve users in the U.S., Chen Xiao also thinks it is completely understandable.

Chen Xiao then said to Song Yi: "Besides this accident, Changtian Technology in the European market will account for 80% of the shares."

"In the Daxia region, Changtian Technology will not make any concessions~www.readwn.com~ must hold 100% of the shares. Other overseas markets are not within the scope of this discussion."

"If Changtian Technology has financing needs in the future, SoftBank will be ranked first."

Song Yi quickly recorded the key points of Chen Xiao's negotiation.

Wang Xiang completely agreed with Chen Xiao's opinion. He said: "The influence of Firefly OS has been highlighted. I think our proposal is very reasonable."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he walked to the balcony to blow the cold night wind.

The winter in Suzhou and Hangzhou is still very cold, and the wind is much stronger than that in Jiangzhou.

The cold wind also made Chen Xiao sober a lot. Chen Xiao knew very well that this negotiation with SoftBank was an opportunity for Changtian Technology to go further.

Now it depends on how to balance the relationship between interests and influence.

Chen Xiao went back to the bedroom to rest, Song Yi, Luo Ning and others stayed up all night, sorting out the negotiation plan.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiao and SoftBank started negotiating again.

Xue Cun looked at the plan given by Chen Xiao, and the whole person was stunned.

Last night, Xue Cun's team also conducted a negotiation and deduction. From beginning to end, they imagined that the two sides would compete for equity.

In the end, the bottom line in SoftBank’s mind is 37.8%, and it must have a 37.8% stake in the ownership and operation of Firefly OS, which cannot be less.

In the process of negotiating and pushing, Xue Cun's team also deduced according to this kind of shares, and also envisaged some problems that Changtian Technology will raise.

But they never imagined that Chen Xiao would actually divide the global market into small pieces, giving you a little more in some places, a little less in some places, and not even an inch of land in some places.

Let Xue Cun be a little confused.

Xue Cun immediately requested that the negotiations be suspended, and the team discussed new countermeasures.
