Looking at Andy's expression and action, all the people, including Eric, can't help their mouth twitching. NIMA's, God won't care about the greedy vampire!

As Andy said, he is more optimistic about the future listing of free city app than anyone else. He will never put out too many shares to do the first round of financing.

After all, the company needs a lot of money to develop. Although he has money and can play by himself, in the face of Apple's advantage competition and the admission of new players, Andy has to make strategic changes and play one by one.

If Google is really allowed to set up an app store, Andy's free city, in the absence of the advantages of system and program, in the face of the bundling strategy that apple and Google are bound to implement, the best outcome is just a tripartite situation.

Tripartite confrontation is only the best result in a fair competition environment. However, Google and apple, which have monopolistic positions, will definitely play the game of "the essence of business is profit seeking" and kick out the city of freedom completely.

, for example, Apple has bundled its own browser in its iOS system and removed its rival Google map and oil woodlouse.

The reason why Google opens Android system free of charge is to turn Android system into a tool. In addition to information speed occupying the smartphone system market, it is more important to strengthen its dominant position in the search engine market. Google requires mobile phone manufacturers to set Google as the default search engine. Prevent existing competitors and potential competitors from competing with better mobile systems based on value innovation.

Just like many years ago, Microsoft bundled the Internet Explorer in its Windows system and finally got rid of Netscape browser.

"I know and admit that you Google has great advantages because of Android system, 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 put pressure on us. Similarly, it is because of your advantage that we will write this exclusive condition into the agreement.

Do you know why Apple didn't want to block us and kick us out of IOS market, but it didn't do that all the time? "

Andy, with a warm smile on his face and a little bit of banter in his tone, looked at the dignified expression of the people on the opposite Google team. He didn't wait for the other side to answer, and didn't need the other side to answer.

"Thanks to the United States, as well as many western countries, for extremely encouraging free competition and protecting emerging start-ups. So monopoly is its original sin.

As long as it uses any bundling or exclusivity agreements to crack down on competitors and consolidate its market leadership, the company will face antitrust litigation.

Jobs, and even Apple's board of Directors... Oh, I almost forgot, Eric, you're still a member of the board of directors of apple, but it's OK. I'm not afraid to speak more directly.

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

Andy's face is calm and light, showing a big white tooth. His eyes are twinkling. He looks at Eric, who is a little embarrassed, and sees that he draws twice at the corner of his mouth.

Eric felt everyone's eyes, including his subordinates, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he began to curse in his heart. In the Apple board of directors, he did discuss to block the city of freedom. However, for the mad dog character of the young man in front of him, many people threw a rat at him.

Now I hear Andy say it directly to his face. Eric seems to have run over ten thousand monsters in front of him, and vomited Kuo water like nausea at him.

In fact, Eric is also very bitter now. Andy said that the problem is that he needs to make a decision as soon as possible. The competition between Google and apple in multiple core areas is becoming increasingly fierce. He has to make a choice between the CEO of Google and the members of Apple's board of directors.

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

"There are ways to avoid it. A dynamic ecosystem, rapid renewal and lower price are typical features of strong competition. And bundling is a very common sales behavior, which is not a big problem.

Let's get back to the point. Let's not go around the bush. Google is very optimistic about the future of Freedom City, but this share can't make us accept your demanding requirements.

We must guarantee Google's interests. After all, once we join Freedom City, freedom city will become the largest channel for third-party applications on Android platform and an indispensable part of Android system, which will bring more benefits and traffic to Freedom City. I believe you are also very clear about this.

Less than 10% of the shares are not attractive to Google at all. In this way, we have to rethink our own app store! "

Looking at Eric's smile on his face, Andy also sighed in his heart. Well, all the companies he said were used to monopolizing business and occupying a dominant position. They were not friendly.In fact, Andy is also very clear that if he wants to incorporate Google and make it stop thinking about his own app store, he won't agree if he doesn't have enough benefits.

Even if it is to let it join in, Google is also trying to make a thorough purchase or nibble at Andy's idea, playing a Hatoyama nest.

At this point, Andy has no doubt that they will plan like this, but he is not very worried. The main purpose of this financing is to let Google hook up, let freedom City, which is temporarily stuck in the development bottleneck, make up for the final system foundation short board, and focus on competing with apple.

He has also long thought that in the face of the lion's mouth of Google, 5%, 10% or even 15% of the financing announced this time could not satisfy Google's appetite, because the transposition thinking, instead of Andy himself, could not agree.

Even if Google can't predict that Android operating system may occupy 95% of the global market share of authorized intelligent mobile operating system in the future, Google still has certain confidence in the market prospect and development of Android system.

"Tell me your bottom line. If we can cooperate, we naturally hope to have more friends than competitors." Andy's face was pale, and his eyes were fixed on Eric.

"If we can, Google is willing to merge the free city in the form of cash and stock, which is 20% higher than the current valuation!"

"Ha ha, sure enough, you are really making such an idea. Let's forget about the merger and acquisition. Let's talk about your final plan. We all show our sincerity. There is no need to waste time." Andy shakes his head and laughs. He looks sharply at each other and says faintly.

"Since M & A fails, our conditions remain unchanged, with 30% shares and three board seats..."

"30% is impossible, only one board seat can be given to you. You can work in the city of freedom, 15%. I will take 5% to introduce several investment companies, and 2% as the company's equity incentive..."

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

"There are only so many financing rounds B and C. I must have enough chips in my hand. I don't want to make a wedding dress for her! Moreover, the future value of freedom city will be more than five billion. "

Eric looks at Andy's biting attitude, his eyes narrowed slightly, just want to say a few threatening words, see each other's mouth corner if there is a trace of smile, Eric still put down the idea to lift Andy's mood.

"20%, two board seats, the current valuation is up 20%, which is our bottom line. If we can't reach a deal, then we don't need to talk about it. At the same time, in the future round B and round C financing, we have the priority to make up the 20% share proportion!"
