Chapter 560: Mr. Cook, I think it's better to forget it!
As if astronomy and geography knew everything and everything, when the meal was finished, Zhang Yuxin looked at Ren Yan with little stars in his eyes......
"Why have you been looking at me like this before?" Ren Yan asked in a whisper in Zhang Yuxin's ear as he left the banquet hall.
Zhang Yuxin blinked her eyes and did not speak.
Ren Yan smiled and scratched Zhang Yuxin's nose: "I told you not to be too greedy for my beauty!"
Zhang Yuxin: "......"
ā¦ā¦
In the conference hall of Loongson headquarters.
The Apple representatives, led by Cook, sat on the left side of the conference table, and on the right were the Loongson personnel led by Ren Yan.
Although he didn't talk about anything at work during the meal, Ren Yan still directly and indirectly knew what the general direction of cooperation was that Cook took the initiative to find this trip.
Apple wants to get some authorization from Loongson for the Loongson OS, and is willing to get Loongson's help on their A-series processor solutions.
At this formal meeting, as Ren Yan expected, Cook did think so.
However, Ren Yan did not immediately respond at the conference table, but deliberately put the right to speak on Cook's body.
Cook said that the people of Loongson listened.
In about twenty minutes, Cook clearly expressed all his intentions to Loongson this time to the Loongson side.
To sum it up simply, as Ren Yan thought before, Apple needs Loongson's help in both software and hardware.
In terms of software, Cook wanted Loongson to provide some Loongson OS technology and optimize its own IOS based on Loongson OS.
Although it didn't seem to be very complicated, Ren Yan was actually a little surprised when he heard Cook say such a thing.
Because IOS and Loongson OS are not the same series from the lowest level, just like indos and linux, there is a fundamental difference.
According to Cook's meaning, Apple wants to replace the bottom layer of the entire operating system on the next generation of IOS, in addition to retaining some of the existing functions.
As we all know, IOS is an operating system independently developed by Apple.
And IOS Actually, IOS is one of Apple's unix-based branches, Darin, developed on the basis of it.
These things and Loongson OS are incompatible, because the bottom layer of Loongson OS is Loongson OS itself, which is a primitive and unmodified operating system, which comes from the operating system of the points mall, and is different from all existing software things in the world at the moment.
In order to apply Loongson OS technology to Apple's IOS, it is necessary to abandon the original unix-like IOS.
To put it simply, if you do this, although IOS is still called IOS, it is essentially completely unrelated to the previous IOS.
Internally, it's all different, but the name is still IOS on the surface.
IOS first appeared at Apple's conference in January 2007, when IOS was still called iPhone OS, and later officially changed its name to IOS in 2010.
For the mobile device market before the advent of Loongson OS, IOS is undoubtedly the best system, and there is no one.
Whether it is in terms of smoothness, security, or benefits for developers, IOS is far behind android, which is the world's largest operating system.
It is only because the IOS system can only be used for Apple devices, which causes the market share of the android system to be much larger than IOS, but it is undeniable that if you only compare the operating system for the actual user experience, IOS is better than android.
And the reason why Apple went directly from a company that did not have any improvement at that time to become the hegemon of the digital industry today, the IOS system developed is definitely the most important hero.
Whether it is IOS itself or the appstore on IOS, it is the earliest and best in the industry, if there is no IOS, Qiao's iPhone will not promote the change of the entire industry, if there is no appstore, then the ecological chain of mobile APP will never be as perfect as it is today, and there will never be millions of various APPs.
This IOS system, which has injected a lot of life into Apple, has gone through 11 major versions since the earliest generation was released, and the time is that IOS has been around for 11 years.
The reason why Ren Yan was shocked was because the cooperation that Cook wanted was actually equivalent to abandoning the IOS system that Apple had been using for 11 years.
Leave the skin and replace it all inside.
For such a company, for an IOS system with various backgrounds, such a move is undoubtedly very bold!
One mistake can even lead to Apple's end.
Cook's idea would seem crazy to Ren Yan, and it's hard to imagine what the public and those with ties to Apple would do if such an operation were actually carried out.
But Ren Yan could understand why Cook did this.
Although IOS is good enough, even the best mobile operating system, this was before Loongson OS came out.
Although the number of APPs currently supported by Loongson OS is far from being comparable to the number of APPs supported on Apple's huge appstore, Loongson's optimization of both the underlying architecture and the entire operating system has reached the level of being able to beat all competing products on the market.
The rise of Loongson OS just needs time, and this time will definitely not be very long.
In fact, there are already many app developers, individuals or companies working hard to develop apps that can run on Loongson OS.
Because the ontology is extremely powerful, and can even rely on virtual machines to run indos, the degree of APP support on the ontology will never become an obstacle to the development and growth of Loongson OS.
Cook, as the current head of Apple, as a big man with a technical background, can see through the excellence of Loongson OS at a glance, which is no doubt.
Whether it is IOS or android, the future will be affected by the emergence of Loongson OS, and such an impact is so great that IOS and android can directly disappear in the eyes of consumers.
If you want to continue your own brand and maintain your brand reputation, the only way is to directly "crazy" abandon the past from the root.
Only in this way can we get a new lease of life.
Apple has to do this, and Cook has to do it.
IN ADDITION TO IOS ON MOBILE PHONES, MAC OS ON APPLE'S PCS ALSO NEED TO ABANDON THE ORIGINAL FRAMEWORK.
USING LOONGSON OS AS THE BOTTOM LAYER, USING ITS OWN TECHNOLOGY AND THE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDED BY LOONGSON, TO OPTIMIZE A NEWER AND BETTER MAC OS.
When Ren Yan listened to Cook state all his thoughts on software, the shock in his heart went away a little.
Although it does sound crazy, because it is equivalent to discarding all the things that you have prepared and brewed for so many years, and going to change to something else, and using something from other family to develop your own thing......
But what can Apple do besides doing so?
If there was a better way, how could they possibly come up with such an idea?
can only blame the dragon core for being too powerful and too advanced......
In the follow-up talks, Cook talked about the hardware side again.
In addition to his desire to turn IOS into a variant of Loongson's OS, he also wants to obtain some of the technology and some licenses of Loongson V series and Loongson X series processor chips.
The vast majority of the processors used in Apple's PC come from hard special, so Ren Yan is not surprised to get the authorization of the Loongson V series and some of the technology used in the mac series products.
Originally, this part of the processor was made to sell, on the one hand, it was sold to users at retail, and on the other hand, it was provided to large enterprises as a supplier.
But Cook also wants to combine the existing Apple A-series with Loongson X-series technology, such as the 1nm process, for the new generation of A-series processors......
Ren Yan was a little surprised.
It's not that the idea itself is accidental, but that Cook dares to talk to him about the idea directly......
What's going on?
And do you want to use the technology of the Loongson X series as your own processor?
That's the Loongson contemporary factory?
Specializing in making Apple chips for you, when you are Apple's maid?
That's a bit of a stretch.
"Mr. Ren, I would like to ask you to think about it, because once the relevant technology of the Loongson X series can be used in our A-series next-generation processors, then it will undoubtedly be a win-win for both of us. ā
Cook said in conclusion.
Ren Yan's expression was indifferent, with a smile on his face.
He didn't immediately refuse Cook, didn't immediately say the words he had just thought in his heart, but just smiled lightly: "Mr. Cook, you have said so much, but it seems that it is all about the content of your technical request from us, right? Since you have said that it is a win-win situation, then I would like to ask, Loongson gave you these things, but what will you give Loongson?"
Cook was a little surprised that Ren Yan would correct his speech so bluntly, but there was no abnormal expression on his face.
"Mr. Ren, your technology is indeed excellent, but Loongson has not been established for a long time, and the development time is also very short, in other words, Loongson's current volume is still difficult to cope with the market brought by its own too good technology. If the cooperation can be reached as I said before, then Apple will become Loongson's most loyal partner, including the sharing of offline distribution supply chains around the world, including cooperation in online resources such as APP development interfaces, and Apple's excellent after-sales strategies, etc., we will share unconditionally with Loongson. ā
In addition, Apple also plans to hold part of Loongson's shares, only as a shareholding, and will not participate in the operation and management of Loongson itself. In this way, Loongson will take advantage of Apple's strong brand strength to gain a firm foothold in the entire market as quickly as possible!"
After Cook finished speaking, he still had a big brother smile on his face.
However, such a kind expression is not the case in Ren Yan's opinion.
Although he and Cook did have a good conversation in private, he felt that this big brother was really good.
But when it really came to the formal negotiations at the level of the two companies, Cook, as a top businessman, still broke out with that businessman attribute.
Ren Yan felt that the Cook in front of him had finished transforming and had changed from a big brother to a profiteer......
Let's not mention what Cook asked Loongson to provide, let's talk about the so-called win-win things that Apple is willing to give Loongson.
As Cook said, Loongson does not have the problem of insufficient volume to support its own technical excellence, as well as problems in distribution, software APP, after-sales problems, and problems with upstream material suppliers......
Not only does Cook list the problems, Loongson's current problems are far more than these.
But for Loongson, it just takes some time to solve these problems, not as Cook said, Loongson really can't cope with the current situation.
Therefore, for what Loongson has to pay, Apple's help in this regard, whether it is funds, personnel or some technology, is relatively limited.
In comparison, Loongson gave Apple a hundred dollars, and Apple gave Loongson ten dollars.
This in itself is not a reciprocal cooperation.
Besides......
This old man...... If you want to take advantage, forget it......
Do you still want to become a shareholder of Loongson?
Although I don't participate in the management or anything, why does this make you pay back Apple's shares?
For the company itself, Apple's shareholding may not have any adverse effects, but it means a great help and can be put in the public eye......
That's an SB behavior.
Ali was invested by Softbank in Neon Country in his early years, and there are still people yelling at Jack Ma......
The reason why some people are shouting is because Ali has a background in neon state-owned assets.
The public will not care whether you participate in the operation and management of the company......
In their opinion, if you take money from foreigners, you are doing business with foreigners.
Earn the money of the people of the Celestial Empire and distribute dividends to foreigners.
The public, without expertise, will only think so.
When Ren Yan heard the second half of Cook's sentence, he was even a little angry in his heart.
It's just a matter of coming to the door for help, but you still want to buy part of Loongson?
What kind of board is this?
Ren Yan was not ready to continue to talk with Cook on this issue.
He had to let Cook know that it wasn't just you Cook who saw the value and future of Loongson!
As the founder of Loongson, Ren Yan's vision is much more far-reaching than you Cook!
"Mr. Cook, I can't accept your proposal, because there is really no sincerity in Loongson, and in terms of the content of the cooperation you are going to discuss. ā
"That's a ridiculous idea!"
When Ren Yan said the second sentence in fluent British English, the entire conference table was a little dumbfounded.
The personnel sitting on the Loongson side on the right side looked sideways at their boss.
It's the first time they've spoken in such an accentuated tone since they knew Ren Yan......
And such a situation actually happened in the context of negotiations with the industry giant Apple......
The Apple-related personnel on the left are even more confused......
They had never seen anyone speak to Cook in such a near-"roaring" manner......
Cook, of course, was the most confused.
He didn't expect that this Celestial Empire man, who had just been drinking and chatting with him at the dinner table, would reject him so bluntly.
It's okay to reject yourself......
He......
How dare he "roar" at himself?
In all his years at Apple, Cook had never had such an experience.
Even when Gang Leader Qiao was alive, Gang Leader Qiao never spoke to him like that......
Ren Yan also knew that his tone was too heavy just now, so he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip.
Then......
"Mr. Cook, I suggest that we have a cup of tea and chat, since you are not sincere, then wait until you are sincere, and then come and talk. ā
"Collaborations like this can be called ridiculous, I think it's better to forget it, Mr. Cook. ā
