Cook did not expect that the attitude of the marching ant company was so strong that it was rejected for the third time today, and it was so simple. There has never been a day, so unhappy like today. Even if it is not good, you can only endure it at this time. Otherwise, I don’t say that the acquisition is a problem. I am afraid that cooperation is a problem.

This road is nowhere to go, only to find other paths.

"Ms. Zhao, can you let me talk to your chairman?" Cook broke the deadlock in the reception room.

Zhao Min smiled slightly and looked at the small fish next to him. Xiao Yuhui will immediately call Chen Mo’s phone: “Chen Mo, Mr. Cook wants to see you.”

"it is good."

After the small fishing hang up the phone, the reception room fell into silence again. Not long after, Chen Mo walked in the door of the reception room and walked in.

"Mr. Cook, this is our chairman, Chen Mo."

After seeing Chen Mo, Cook was surprised in his eyes. So young, young is a bit too much. After a few seconds of waking up, Cook stood up and shook hands with Chen Mo, and simply greeted him.

It was not until Chen Mo sat down on the sofa that Cook said: "Mr. Chen Mo, I want to buy your company this time. Before we come, we asked BrandFinance to make a value assessment of your company, $13 billion. I personally think that This valuation is low, so we give a price of $15 billion and want to buy 100% of your company."

"Sorry, the company does not sell." Not waiting for Zhao Min to translate to him, Chen Mo said. His oral English is not good, but Cook's meaning is understandable.

Chen Mo is so simple, in the expectation of Zhao Min. After translating Chen Mo’s words, Zhao Min saw that Cook’s face was not good.

When Zhao Min refused him, he was a little polite. Now Chen Mo opened, just a few words, directly refused, almost when he just finished, I don’t want to.

That was $15 billion, not $150. Chen Mo simply let Cook think he was wrong. But after confirming, Cook’s mood was completely bad.

Today is the day he was most rejected. 15 billion US dollars, almost China's more than 90 billion, this figure is already a horrible number.

"Mr. Chen Mo is $15 billion." Cook stressed.

"I know, don't sell." Chen Mo said.

This time Cook has confirmed that what he just heard is correct.

"Since Chen doesn't want to sell the company, we have to change the way of cooperation." Cook immediately found a step down, otherwise he would not be able to talk about it.

"You said." Chen Mo smiled.

The president of Zhao Min, also became the translator of the two.

“Can your company finance? We can finance your company. $8 billion, take 51% of the shares.”

"Our company is not short of money. Mr. Cook still wants to talk about other ways of cooperation. The company's shares are not for sale." Chen Mo said.

Cook was silent. Just now he saw that Chen Mo’s tone and appearance were very firm. It seems that the way to control the army ant company is impossible.

"Then I will talk about cooperation." Cook said: "I hope that the smart assistant can launch the ioS version."

"I don't want to launch the ioS side, but I can't push it. We have to have the core source code and architecture of the operating system, according to the code and architecture design, can be launched. Without these, it can't run, or it will be restricted by the mobile phone system as unknown software. Mr. Cook, will you open the source code of ioS to our company?"

This is a problem that will make Cook completely difficult.

Open source to marching ants, which means that Apple has completely bowed to the marching ant company, which is absolutely not allowed to happen. According to Chen Mo, the smart assistant will not play without developing the source code.

How to do?

A huge question mark emerged in Cook's mind, and the light in the depths of his eyes was also flashing.

The reception room was dead, and several people were waiting for Cook’s answer. After a long time, Cook looked up: "Chen, we can open the source code, but there is a condition."

"You said."

"We both open source code, we open the source code of ioS to your company, you open the source code of the intelligent assistant to us, so fair cooperation." Cook said.

"Impossible." Chen Mo did not want to, and refused.

The source code of the Smart Assistant is currently only available to them, as well as the above. It is impossible for other domestic companies to get it, let alone foreign companies.

Moreover, he is not interested in the source code of the ioS system, and the marching ant system is better than the Apple system in any aspect.

"Chen, you refuse every cooperation, we can't continue like this." Cook said with a calm face.

"Not that we have to cooperate, we just develop software, the source code can not be opened to you. We also want to release the ioS terminal, but we do not have the ioS system architecture, the intelligent assistant can not control the mobile phone system, the role of the intelligent assistant can not be played.

The only way for us to develop the ioS end is to open up the source code of ioS to our company. If this condition cannot be agreed, then Mr. Cook will return empty-handed. ”

After Chen Mo finished, he took a sip of the tea prepared by Xiao Yu and waited quietly.

At this time, Cook, his eyes are constantly blinking, his face is not very good. Chen Mo's request is too big, even if he is, it is impossible to open the source code of ioS to Chen Mo.

For a company that has just been established for half a year, the blow to Apple is not as big as it is. And the source code of ioS is related to deeper security issues.

They can't unilaterally hand over such important things to a Chinese company, and the board will not allow him to do so.

"Mr. Chen, is there any other way?" Cook said.

"Mr. Cook, the security of your company's ioS system is too good. We can't bypass the mobile phone system and control the mobile phone. Moreover, your company has siri, it doesn't need our little butterfly."

After thinking for a long time, Cook sighed and stood up: "Chen, your proposal, I need to think about it."

"Okay, will Mr. Cook want to visit the company?"

"No, I will go back and look forward to seeing you next time." Cook reached out and Chen Mo shook.

"Zhao Min, let's go and send Mr. Cook." Chen Mo smiled at Zhao Min.

"Ok."

Zhao Min smiled and nodded and led Cook to leave the company's reception room. Not long after, the group of people left the marching ant company under the leadership of the staff.

Just walked to the door of the company, the reporters at the company's door, facing the mad shot.

Cook’s entry into the marching ant company has spread in the journalist circle.

The reporters who left the marching ant company came back again. At this time, more than forty reporters were outside the office building of the army ant company, waiting for Cook to come out from inside.

"General Zhao, what cooperation have you reached this time?"

"Mr. Cook, what cooperation between you and the marching ant company?"

"Zhao Zong..."

A group of reporters gathered around and began to ask questions frantically.

Cook walked to the front of the car and turned to look at the reporters around him, his face raised a slight smile.

“Thank you all the reporters and friends. I am very happy to be invited to the army ants company to talk with them. I have had a very pleasant exchange with them. The marching ants are a very promising company. In the future, we will both There will be more opportunities for cooperation."

After talking to the reporter, Cook entered the car. After closing the door, Cook's smile immediately converges and his face becomes bad. In the eyes of many reporters, it is gone.
