Chapter 86

Apple headquarters conference room.

The atmosphere was a little dull. The meeting table, the directors in suits, all eyes on the first cook.

Apple's stock fell again and again, they are losing a lot of money every moment, and their value is also shrinking.

This is not good news.

"Cook, when you go to China, what's the harvest this time?" Opposite cook, a middle-aged man with glasses asked.

People who know him in the circle will admire him three points.

At that time, he joined gene technology company as a scientist, turning gene technology company from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy to a giant in biological field with annual income of 13 billion US dollars and market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, creating the myth of Wall Street.

He is the chairman and CEO of Genentech, the largest pharmaceutical company in the United States. He is also the member of Apple's board of directors who has the highest known shareholding. At present, Levinson is the chairman of Apple's board of directors.

When Levinson spoke, cook immediately rallied. Although Apple was under his management, he was also restricted by the board of directors.

"Levinson, this time in China, to be honest, didn't get much useful things, but did a lot of stupid things." Cook said.

"We're not interested in hearing your stupid things, we just want to know what you've got." A close to 70 year old man opened his seat.

As soon as he spoke, the whole conference room straightened up.

Schuger is a former CEO of Northrop Grumman. This is the third largest arms dealer in the world. The famous B2 stealth bomber, global Eagle drone and Nimitz class aircraft carrier are all products of this company. No one outside knows how many shares he holds in apple, but people who know him are in awe of him.

The old man with a two shaved beard is definitely one of the top members of the American food chain.

Cook was awed to hear shugel speak. Although he is the CEO of Apple company, he is really in charge of the board of directors.

"I met with the chairman and President of marching ant and put forward the idea of acquiring their company."

"And the result?"

"They were rejected without hesitation. They said they would not sell the company." "So I talked to them about the idea of developing intelligent assistants for IOS," Cook said

All the directors present, with their eyes on cook, listened to cook without expression.

Former Vice President Gore, current chairman and CEO of Disney Robert, former chairman of Avon group Zhong Binxian, partner of East BlackRock Susan, former chief financial officer of Boeing James, this is the most luxurious board lineup.

Anyone, facing this kind of lineup, has no bottom in mind.

"Finally, they let us open the source code of IOS. Because of the design of intelligent assistant, it is necessary to understand the core code of IOS, otherwise it cannot be developed. " Cook said, with a black face.

Even he didn't know whether what Chen Mo said was true or false, so he had to believe it.

They didn't answer, so cook continued.

"I propose that both sides open source. We open the IOS source code to them, they open the smart assistant source code to us, and finally they are rejected. They insisted that unless we open the source code of Apple's system, we can't develop the intelligent assistant on IOS side. There is no result in the conversation. "

"Tell me about the company." James says.

"In the Greater China region, the mobile phone business was 9% lower in the last quarter and the market share was fourth. After the emergence of smart assistant, the sales volume of marching ant company is even more serious. If we still can't support smart assistant, or our Siri doesn't have a technological breakthrough, in the near future, the mobile phone will say goodbye to the Chinese market. "

Cook's face was overcast, which was why he had to go to Binhai himself.

Smart assistant has upgraded the mobile phone for a whole generation, without keeping pace with the times. Apple's mobile phone business is the next Nokia. In the future, marching ant companies will enter the international market, and they will be more dangerous.

"What better ideas do you have? Or open the source code of mobile phone system to marching ant company? " Cook asked.

A few people are thinking, March ant company is in China, not in the United States, and is not listed company. They want to move ant company, they can't pass the Chinese government. After all, China is not the United States and Europe, where only the Chinese government, rather than the capital giant said.

If you are abroad, everything is easy. They can do whatever they want, but that piece of red land is not good. Any tentacle that breaks the rules will be cut off in the past, without any emotion.

In this way, they really have no way to take March ant company. There was a dead silence in the conference room, and everyone was thinking about countermeasures.

"It's impossible to open IOS source code. Giants never bow to ants." Shugel said quietly.

The others looked at each other calmly and said nothing more.

"S2 of our company will hold a conference soon. If there is a smart assistant, its performance will surpass that of any mobile phone on the market." Cook's tone was calm: "but if not, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome this time."The people on the field didn't speak, and they all calculated in their hearts.

Until the meeting was dissolved, all the people left the meeting room.

After sitting in the car, shuge took out his mobile phone with cold light in his eyes. When he heard the connection, he gave a slight flash: "find two people to go to China, I want to take something, 10 million."

"Good sir, I'll arrange it now."

After hanging up, shuge's face was full of wrinkles, with a grim smile. After the vehicle starts, leave apple with the vehicle. Other people's vehicles also followed.

……

After cook left quietly, the storm about March ant company also faded. Everything is back to normal, and the marching ant company is also running normally, as if the rumors on the Internet never appeared.

And apple, there is no unusual move.

However, the topic of the second generation of butterfly eyes and butterflies appears in the media from time to time.

As the flagship aircraft of marching ant company, butterfly eye has sold more than 2 million units in advance during this period. This kind of pre-sale volume is beyond everyone's expectation.

This pre-sale volume means that marching ant company has been recognized by users.

The first batch of mobile phones have been shipped. Now the supply is in short supply, and will continue to ship in the future.

Zhao Min has also sent people to contact European telecom operators to launch butterfly eye mobile phones to European and international markets. As for the American market, they don't think about it for the time being.

Even Huawei, a unicorn, has no choice but to enter the U.S. market. It took so many years to open a gap. They don't think the energy of the current March ant company will allow them to enter the U.S. market.

So Zhao Min's eyes are on the European market. Maybe he can replace Apple Mobile in the future.

The company is developing rapidly, and Chen Mo is not idle.

Chen Mo hangs the last design on the wall of the laboratory, claps his hands and stares at the design on the wall in front of him.

Seven design drawings. These are all robot designs. It includes the head design, limbs and body design of the machine. The body design is the most complex and refined, and here is the most important part of the robot.

Many functions will be concentrated here, so the design is very fine.

The design drawing of spare parts has been handed over to Zhao Min, so that the senior fitter in the workshop can make it according to the requirements, and it will be finished soon. At that time, his task is to assemble.

But before that, we need to make batteries for robots.

When Chen Mo was busy designing the robot, two big men came out of the mountain forest on a small road in the southwest border with frightening momentum.

"I heard that this is a forbidden area for mercenaries? I don't think so. " Said the black man on the left.

"BOL, don't be too happy. Finish the task first and leave safely. Let's say that again. It's not easy here. "

"OK, timid Jack."
