361 Apple No Choice (5/5)

Cook's idea is certainly good.

Although Apple and Google have always had conflicts.

But this has to be looked at in two ways.

Enjoy technology is not easy to deal with, and Tim Cook has experienced this firsthand.

It would be best if Apple and Google were deeply cooperating in the field of artificial intelligence, or if Google had enough technology to support Apple's next generation of products to develop applications like silent alarm and co-production.

At the critical moment, Apple does not mind giving up some interests to form a temporary strategic alliance with Google.

Even if the similar technology developed by the two parties can be applied to Android mobile phones, then at most IOS and Android will be pulled together again.

As long as the two sides are on the same starting line, Apple is not afraid of Android's challenge.

However, the results from Pichai were very disappointing for Cook.

"Yes, Mr. Tim, I also watched the press conference, and after watching it, I asked the tech guys at Google, how to say, our research on brain-computer chips doesn't seem to be on the same channel at all. Maybe we can do more, but we can't get this chip into a phone, you know what I mean? You know, brain waves are very weak and very susceptible to interference. ”

"We haven't even completely solved the problem of algorithms that interfere with the vast amount of information. While we can surpass them in some ways, first of all, I don't think anyone wants to accept that a phone is bigger than a tablet, and that you need to wear a helmet for brain control. Of course, if Apple can do that, we can do provide more brain control features. For example, it is possible to directly input documents with brainwaves. ”

After listening to Pichai's answer, Cook was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, maybe we can't do it for a while, but I don't think we can sit still." Or we can join forces with Intel, AMD, IBM, and Oracle to work on the next generation of brain-computer chips, so Google is interested?"

"Of course, if you can sit down and talk, why not?"

"OK, wait for my news!"

......

Hanging up the phone, Tim Cook fell into deep thought.

Several companies joined forces to work on the new technology, and Cook didn't think it was a big problem.

After all, it meets everyone's core demands.

The controversy is nothing more than how much everyone contributes, and the final distribution of benefits.

If Apple is willing to make some concessions in this regard, Cook is confident that the dispute will eventually be reconciled.

Even if the controversy is too great, he has a way of bringing in stronger forces to clear it up.

After all, we all have some big customers in common.

The question remains time.

Listening to Pichai's tone, there is no confidence that similar technology can be developed in the near future.

It's a joke to make an Apple phone as big as a tablet, and to play with a mobile phone with a helmet.

But being able to make such a joke also speaks volumes about Pichai's helplessness.

So you have to cooperate with Changxiang Technology?

Cook's mind came to mind Wang Yufei's youthful face.

After learning from Ge Lingyue that Apple must talk to Wang Yufei in person if it wants to obtain the authorization to use the brain-computer chip, Cook has already made up his mind, but if there is a slight possibility, he does not want to make this call with Wang Yufei.

It doesn't matter if you condescend or not.

The main reason is that the child is not very pure, likes the lion to open his mouth, and wants apples to abolish the apple tax at every turn.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not possible to accept relenting.

The hateful Internet has made the details of the P45 press conference for China already appear on Twitter, and the P45 press conference for China in Europe is also in preparation, leaving little time for Apple to react.

Fans of this generation may still tolerate Apple's products not carrying similar platforms and content.

BUT IF THE NEXT GENERATION OF PRODUCTS STILL GOES THEIR OWN WAY, IPHONE SALES MAY FALL OFF A CLIFF.

And once Apple's mobile phone falls off a cliff, it will definitely be a more terrifying thing than IOS being cracked and the Apple tax being abolished.

Without the support of a large number of users, who to go to collect taxes?

Not only that, when the number of users plummets, it will also affect the income of countless developers, and when the income of these developers plummets and they can't eat enough, who will develop high-quality apps to enrich the Apple Store.

It is difficult to build an ecology, and it would not have been so difficult to maintain an ecology, but who would have dared to think that it would be torn open alive by robbers.

This reminded Cook of the conditions that Wang Yufei said at that time to join Apple.

Abolish the Apple tax and open source IOS!

Now that I think about it, if we can really attract this guy to Apple to tinker with brain-computer chips, it doesn't seem like it will be okay to make appropriate concessions on both fronts.

If the brain-computer chip is in Apple's hands......

Tim Cook shook his head fiercely, he couldn't think of such a beautiful thing.

After much hesitation, he finally picked up the phone, found the phone he least wanted to dial in the address book, and called.

......

Wang Yufei had just closed Gu Bingjun's resume on the computer and began to prepare to persuade those Huaqing high-achieving students to talk to this cow tomorrow, when he received a call from Tim Cook.

In fact, Wang Yufei thought that the call should have come two days in advance, but he didn't expect Apple to be so patient that he almost forgot about it.

But how to put it, Wang Yufei doesn't mind doing business with a rich and handsome person like Apple, and doesn't even mind forming a close partnership.

For example, it would be great to be able to share the patents of both parties.

In addition, Wang Yufei was in a very good mood at this time, after all, Gu Bingjun's news made him more confident in the future.

So after picking up the phone, Wang Yufei was very enthusiastic: "Hey, hello, Mr. Cook, you finally remembered your friends who are far away in China." ”

This enthusiasm probably surprised Cook, and he hesitated for a second before replying: "Oh, hello, Wang, I actually wanted to make this call two days earlier, but it was delayed because of some things." You know, there's always going to be a lot of things that pop up and need to be dealt with urgently. ”

"I understand, are you calling for the authorization of the brain-computer chip?" Wang Yufei took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, Apple intends to cooperate with your company in the area of brain-computer chips, if you are also interested, we can send a delegation to China to discuss cooperation with your company on the same day. Speaking of official, Cook also became serious.

"I'm also very hopeful that I'll be able to work with Apple. I've got three options in mind, would you like to take the time to hear about them?"

"Of course!"

"In the first package, your company coordinated with ASML to provide our company with ten of the latest extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, as well as five full-spectrum direct-reading inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometers from Varian. Upon completion of this transaction, your company will receive a full year of free access to brain-computer chip technology in all fields. I have to say that by choosing this plan, Apple has made a lot of money!"
