Xie Xiaoke went to Apple's headquarters for only one reason, and that was to acquire it.

Apple is now facing a similar situation to the Colombian company back then, there must be a more powerful investor to provide them with a capital chain, to maintain operation, in order to have a glimmer of life, but now Apple's mobile phone sales in the world have collapsed, except for the United States because of the restriction of JUICER's entry to keep so intact, all other regions have been defeated by JUICER and Huawei.

Before 2023, Apple's sales volume has been the second in the world, firmly behind Samsung, and it can sell about 40 million mobile phones from one angle, with a revenue of 42 billion US dollars, of which 19 billion US dollars come from Greater China, and it can sell more than 120 million mobile phones a year, this figure is unimaginable, on average, one out of every 7 people in the world buys an Apple mobile phone.

BUT FROM THE SECOND HALF OF 2023 TO TODAY, APPLE'S AVERAGE ANNUAL SALES VOLUME IS LESS THAN 20 MILLION MOBILE PHONES, AND THE REMAINING 100 MILLION MOBILE PHONES HAVE BEEN CARVED UP BY JUICER AND HUAWEI, XIAOMI AND OTHER MOBILE PHONES, AND FOR APPLE, AS LONG AS THE SALES VOLUME IS LESS THAN 100 MILLION MOBILE PHONES, IT IS A LOSS, AND IT HAS BEEN LOSING MONEY FOR SO MANY YEARS.

Since the establishment of Apple, the biggest dilemma faced is this, now it is very difficult to pull investment first, unless they can regain the market in their own hands, but the market has been occupied by the juicer, they are impossible to go back if they don't have much innovation, and throughout Apple's updates in recent years, starting from ipbone10, all the way to the latest model, there is basically nothing new in each update, either to add a camera, or from using a card for three years to using a card for five years, or the shape has changed, these are all irrelevant thingsThere is no need to deliberately make a new machine and take it out for a press conference and cheat consumers out of their money again.

In the past, there were only Apple and Huawei in the high-end machine market, and Huawei had no way to compete with Apple because of the system, so many consumers knew that Apple was no longer good, but they couldn't find a new option to replace him, so they could only buy Apple, not that they didn't like to buy better.

Just like when I was a child, two students compared the test scores, one was smarter, the other was extremely smart, and both of them scored 100 points, so parents took it for granted that these two students were almost smart, but they didn't think that the full score of this test paper was only 100 points, or that the test paper only involved the degree of the smarter student, and there was no room for the smart student to play at all.

When there are more and more things to learn, the questions in the exam are getting more and more difficult, and the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

In terms of technology, Apple can no longer have any major breakthroughs, and even if there is, it will not be completed in a short period of time, and in contrast, Xie Xiaoke, who has a plug-in, is different, he can continue to buy new technologies from the system mall, and then apply them to production, develop new models, new functions, break through the technical field of Duxin, and obtain new patents, which is not an opponent at all.

So now Apple can't find investors, and is under a lot of pressure, so it is forced to choose to sell its company.

There are three other companies that went to buy Apple with Xie Xiaoke, they are Samsung Electronics in South Korea, Amazon in the United States, and Google in the United States.

All of them are strong opponents, the top five large companies in the world by market capitalization, Xie Xiaoke has to be more vigilant, and this time he is also fully prepared.

The private jet was waiting at Pudong International Airport, Xie Xiaoke, Yan Shangjia, Gao Liusi, several flight attendants, and a group of bodyguards, including Zheng Ying, boarded the plane one after another and flew to the United States.

On the plane, Xie Xiaoke enjoyed the fun of life in his private room, then slept well, and after arriving in San Francisco, he drove to Cupertino.

There is no airport in this small city, so it can only be so troublesome.

Local time, at noon on February 28th, Xie Xiaoke and others finally arrived in Cupertino, which is a very ordinary city, equivalent to a small county town, with a population of less than 100,000, and the buildings are also very civilian.

The weather in California in February is not very wavey, the temperature is about 20 degrees, so they don't wear a lot of clothes, they found a good hotel in the local area, and then began to arrange the trip.

The appointment with that side is for a meeting at 8 a.m. on the 20th at Apple's headquarters, so they can still walk outside tomorrow, although it is a small city, but it is the same fun.

In one day, they didn't run too far, they exercised outdoors in the nearby natural environment, and also learned how to pan for gold in the sand, but they didn't find anything.

On the morning of February 20, everyone dressed very formally and arrived at Apple's headquarters.

What makes Xie Xiaoke feel very contrasting is that Apple's headquarters is equivalent to their stores in various regions of the world It looks very shabby, the headquarters building is a big ring from a high altitude, when you enter from the gate, you see a man-made stone monument, on which a red Apple logo is painted, there are some weeds on the side of the road, walking along the road, a group of foreigners came to greet them and brought them into the park.

After entering, the style is immediately different, the ceiling really doesn't know how high it is at a glance, there are all people below, there are a lot of things in the hall of the rest area, and there are usually many people from the neighborhood who come here to pass the time to listen to music and read books.

They walked to a place where the products were displayed, and it was all people, probably because they heard that Apple was not good now, so many people were curious to come and see the excitement, and the staff were idle and idle.

Under the leadership of the staff, Xie Xiaoke and others came to the place where they negotiated with each other, while Zheng Ying and other bodyguards were waiting outside the door.

At this time, the bosses and shareholders of Apple were all in place and sat in the seats inside, some of them were at the headquarters, and some of them flew over from other places like Xie Xiaoke.

Representatives of Samsung, Google, and Amazon were also present, and their attitudes were not as sincere as Xie Xiaoke, all of them only sent representatives of the company, and only Xie Xiaoke came in person, which left a bad impression on Apple's bosses and shareholders. 8)
