Chapter 86: : Giants never bow to ants

Apple's headquarters conference room.

The atmosphere was a bit boring, and the directors at the conference table, in suits and attire, all looked at the first cook.

Apple's stock has fallen and fallen, and they are losing a lot of money every moment, and their worth is shrinking.

This is not a good news.

"Cook, you go to China, what is the harvest this time?" On the opposite side of Cook, a middle-aged man with glasses asked.

Those who know him in the circle will admire him for three points.

When he joined the gene technology company as a scientist, he turned the gene technology company from a small company that was on the brink of bankruptcy into a bio-sector with an annual income of $13 billion and a market value of more than $100 billion, creating a Wall Street myth.

He is the largest pharmaceutical company in the United States, Genetek's chairman and Ceo, and is the member of Apple's board of directors, the most widely held member of the board of directors, currently Chairman of Apple's board of directors, Levinson.

After Levinson spoke, Cook immediately began to work. Although Apple managed him, he was also restricted by the board of directors.

"Levinson, this time to go to China, to be honest, did not get much useful things, but did a bunch of stupid things." Cook said.

"We are not interested in listening to your stupid things, we just want to know what you have gained." A seat near the 70-year-old man opened his mouth.

As soon as he spoke, the people in the entire conference room straightened up.

Shugel, former coe of Northrop Grumman. This is the world's third largest arms dealer, the famous B2 stealth bomber, the Global Hawk drone, and the Nimitz class aircraft carrier are the products of this company. No one knows how much stock he holds in Apple, but anyone who knows him is awesome.

This old man with two beards is definitely one of the top people in the American food chain.

When he heard Shugel’s opening, Cook’s heart glimpsed. Don't look at him as Apple's Ceo, the wind and the scenery, but the people who really control Apple are the board of directors.

“I met with the chairman and president of the marching ant company and proposed the idea of ​​acquiring their company.”

"The results of it?"

"Rejected, refused without hesitation, they said they would not sell the company." Cook said: "So I talked to them about the idea of ​​developing an ioS-side smart assistant."

All the directors present were on Cook's face, listening to Cook's words with no expression.

Former Vice President Al Gore, Disney's current chairman and Ceo Robert, former chairman of Avon Group Zhong Binyu, East BlackRock partner Susan, former Boeing chief financial officer James, this is the most luxurious boardroom.

Anyone, in the face of this lineup, has no bottom in mind.

"Last they let us open the source code of ioS. Because the design of the smart assistant must understand the core code of ioS, otherwise it can't be developed." Cook said with a black face.

Even if he does not know what Chen Mo said is true or false, he can only believe in the scalp.

The crowd did not answer, let Cook continue to say.

"I propose that both parties open source code. We open the source code of ioS to them, they open the source code of the smart assistant to us, and finally they are rejected. They insist that unless we open the source code of the Apple system, we cannot develop The intelligent assistant on the ioS side, the conversation has no results."

"Talk about the company." James spoke.

“Mobile phone business, in Greater China, scored 9% in the last quarter, and the market share was ranked fourth. After the emergence of intelligent assistants in the marching ant company, the sales volume is more serious. If you still can't support smart assistants, or we The siri has no technical breakthrough. Soon after, the mobile phone will bid farewell to the Chinese market."

Cook sullen, this is why he had to go to Binhai in person.

Smart assistants have upgraded their mobile phones for a whole generation and are not keeping pace with the times. The Apple mobile phone business is the next Nokia. In the future, marching ants will enter the international market and they will be even more dangerous.

“Do you have any better ideas? Or open the source code of the mobile phone system to the marching ant company?” Cook asked.

Several people have pondered, the marching ant company is in China, not in the United States, and is not a listed company. They want to move the army ant company, and they can't pass the Chinese government. After all, China is not the United States and Europe. There is only the calculations of the Huaxia government, not the capital predators.

If you are abroad, everything is easy to handle. They can do whatever they want, but the red land can't, any tentacle that breaks the rules will be cut off, and there is no emotion to speak.

Thinking this way, they really have no way to take the army ant company. The meeting room was dead, everyone was thinking about countermeasures.

"It is impossible to open the source code of ioS. The giant never bows to the ants." Shugel said calmly.

Others calmly looked at each other and did not say much.

"Our company's S2 will soon hold a press conference. If there is a smart assistant, its performance will surpass any mobile phone in the market." Cook's tone is calm: "But if not, I am afraid this time will be very trouble."

The people on the field did not speak, and they all made their own calculations in their hearts.

Until the meeting was dissolved, all the talents left the conference room.

After getting into the car, Shugel took out his mobile phone with a cold cold in his eyes. After hearing the phone connected, he flashed a little: "Look for two people to go to China, I want to take something, 10 million. ""

"Good sir, I am going to arrange it now."

After hanging up the phone, Shugel was full of wrinkled faces with a hazy smile. After the vehicle is started, the vehicle leaves Apple. Other people’s vehicles also followed closely.

......

After Cook quietly left, the storm on the marching ant company also slowly subsided. Everything is back to normal, and the marching ant company is also functioning normally, as if the rumors of the network have never appeared.

And Apple, there is no abnormal move.

However, the topic of the second generation of butterfly eyes and butterflies has appeared in the media's field of vision from time to time.

As the flagship machine of the marching ant company, the butterfly eye has sold more than two million units during this period. This amount of pre-sales is beyond everyone's expectations.

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

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

Zhao Min has also sent people to contact European telecom operators to prepare to push the butterfly eye mobile phone to the European and international markets. As for the US market, they are not considering it for the time being.

Lianhuawei, a unicorn who wants to enter the US market, has no choice but to work hard for so many years before it can open a gap. They don't think that the energy of the current army ants will allow them to enter the US market.

Therefore, Zhao Min’s eyes are on the European market, and he may be able to replace the status of Apple’s mobile phone in the future.

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

Chen Mo hung the last design on the wall of the lab, clapping his hands and staring at the design on the wall in front of him.

Seven pieces of design, these are the design of the robot. Includes the machine's head design, limbs and body design. The body is designed to be the most complex and detailed, and here is the main part of the robot.

Many features are concentrated here, so the design is very detailed.

The design drawings of the parts have been handed over to Zhao Min, so that the senior fitters of the workshop factory can be built as required and will be completed soon. By then, his task is to assemble.

But before that, make a battery for the robot.

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

"I heard that this is a forbidden place for mercenaries? Hey, I don't see how." The black man on the left said.

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

"Good, timid Jack."
