Chapter 1141: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
For loyal users of Apple computers and mobile phones, Apple's headquarters is undoubtedly a temple in their minds, but Apple under the rule of "Jobs" in the past has always been extremely closed, and it is difficult for outsiders to peek into what it is like inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that the new CEO "Cook" has been in office for almost two years, Apple is becoming more and more open in terms of products and operations, so that ordinary people have more opportunities to learn about the company.
Apple's headquarters are located on AppleCampus in Silicon Valley, California. It's an "Apple City" with Apple logos everywhere. There are no high-rise buildings, some are 3 or 4 storey buildings.
If you have the opportunity to visit, you will find that the living facilities here cover almost all the details, including reception, atrium, offices, cubicles, meeting rooms, relaxation rooms, entertainment venues, toilets, laboratories, innovation labs, and much more. And it is here that the R&D staff create epoch-making products for Apple users and designs around the world that make them scream.
But today's AppleCampus is so different, the programmers, staff, including the men and women walking in the room, are hurrying with their steps, and their faces inadvertently show a look of worry.
On July 14th, at 8 o'clock in the morning, a message came out from the headquarters of Wushuang Technology in Brazil, South America, that Wushuang Technology will openly select strategic partners around the world. At the same time, Wushuang System officially announced its entry into the fields of smart phones, home furnishings, and telecommunications.
Whether Wushuang Technology enters the field of home appliances and telecommunications has nothing to do with them, but the detailed interpretation of this strategic partner is quite terrifying, and it can be called a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle.
According to the clear letter sent by the headquarters of Musou Technology, it can be confirmed that once Apple does not accept their conditions, the Musou system will be uninstalled from all Apple computers at the latest next week.
The crux of the matter lies in this "condition". The Musou system adopts the overlord clause, requiring Apple computers to pre-install the Musou system, as for the iOS system developed by themselves, it is not about Musou Technology.
"Smack~"
"This bastard, why doesn't he let Apple users install the Musou system? This is a blatant monopolistic behavior, and we have to report him to the Brazilian Ministry of Commerce. ”
"It's just too much, and we can't accept their conditions. ”
At the front of the conference room, Apple's current CEO Jem Cook frowned deeply, he wanted to get angry, he wanted to curse that damn Fang Yuanshan loudly. But he can't, he is no longer the former vice president in charge of Apple's computer manufacturing business, he is at the helm of Apple's "aircraft carrier", once he is carried away by anger, it is very likely that they will be greeted by a storm.
Jem Cook has been studying this sudden rise of "Wushuang Technology" for almost half a year, and he knows everything from system performance, multi-domain applications, background expansion, etc.
This knowledge is not that he knows the code of the Musou system, but that he is fully aware of how powerful this system is. iOS is a toddler in front of it, and even at this time, if anyone says that the Apple system is an intelligent system in front of him, he will be ashamed and embarrassed.
Yes, compared to the intelligence of the Musou system, their iOS system is a complete joke and does not deserve to be called an intelligent system at all.
"Let's talk about it, is there any way to deal with the difficulties in front of us?"
An old man sitting on his right side said without hesitation: "I don't think we need to respond to this, that company is a rogue company, and that guy is also a bastard." He thinks he has the truth, but he doesn't know how ridiculous his actions are?"
After the old man finished speaking, Angela Ehrentz, the current sales director of Apple, a white woman full of intellectual beauty, stroked the sideburns on her forehead with her hand, and when she put it down, she turned the pen in her hand and said: "Eddy, anger is useless, we need to analyze more rationally what consequences this matter will bring us." ”
Jem Cook nodded, "Ahrendts, tell me what you think." ”
"I believe that I don't need to say much about the aggressiveness of the Wushuang system, and I don't need to explain too much about how strong this system is. I just want to ask you, do you think it's possible for us to make a system that can compete with it in a short period of time?"
“。。。。 ”
Everyone is an adult, and no matter how angry they are, they can't deny that the system that the "bastard" made is indeed very powerful. And seriously, after studying the system in detail, they found that it was an epoch-making product at all. Just as when human beings actually "flew" to the sky for the first time, it also has special significance.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Angela Ehlents nodded and said, "Since we can't do it, then we have to think about what the consequences will be if the rest of the manufacturers accept their terms." ”
"At present, the market share of the operating system Windows is 92.01%, our macOS ranks second with a score of 6.97%, and Linux has a market share of 1.02%. From here, it should be Microsoft that hurts the most, not us Mac. ”
After a pause, the amorous young woman glanced at the Apple executives present and continued: "In addition, let's go back to the mobile phone operating system. Total shipments of Android devices to date are 900 million, up 32% from 502.2 million in the previous quarter. As a result, Google's share of the global mobile operating system market climbed to 71.5 percent, up from 68.7 percent last year. ”
"It's not hard to see that it's not us who suffers the most, it's Microsoft and Google. Now that the attitude of the government is more ambiguous, my advice is to wait and see what happens, wait for the two sides to make a decision, and then we will follow behind. ”
Eddycue, Apple's senior vice president, said dissatisfiedly after Ehlents finished speaking: "That man has shown his fangs, his wings are gradually plump, if we can't strangle him in the cradle now, there will be endless disasters in the future." ”
"I don't think EDDY, you don't know what kind of opponent you are going to face, that Fang Yuanshan is not as simple as it seems, his prestige in the whole of South America even exceeds that of our dear Mr. President. If you don't know what he did, then I suggest you take a good look at that person's report after the meeting. ”
Facing the charming eyes of this amorous young woman, the senior vice president was a little stunned, and said uncertainly: Did I miss something?"
Marks, Apple's director of market research, is a big fat man, and he took Erens's words and replied, "I was in Brazil last year, and I had the pleasure of meeting the Chinese man and doing an in-depth understanding of the local area, Eddy, would you like to hear about it?"
"Of course~"
The director of market research smiled mysteriously at the vice president and said, "The whole of South America is the world of that man, and he is a god-like existence there." According to incomplete statistics, 17.27% of people in Brazil now work indirectly or directly for him, while 2.36% of people in South America work indirectly or directly for him. ”
"He has 75,000 well-trained soldiers at his disposal, and he is in charge of the entire South American security and defense. Brazil's nuclear test was developed under his auspices, during which the Department of Homeland Security and the European Security Council collectively lost their voices, and no one dared to stand up to stop it. ”
"Hiss~~"
After the big fat director finished speaking, not only did the vice president gasp, but everyone present was shocked again at this time, even if they had understood it in advance.
What kind of "fledgling" is this, it is clearly an Amazon piranha with a mouth full of giant teeth. If such people rely on their Apple company to strangle, that's a joke, and people have a way to deal with them.
Seeing everyone's shocked faces, Cook, the current head of Apple, didn't have the heart to continue the meeting and discussion, and stood up and said: "Then reply to Wushuang Technology according to Elentz's proposal!
Today's situation in Apple's office is Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Oracle, IBM, Symantec and other flips, and unlike Apple, the first few major companies committed to the development of the civilian market, Wushuang Technology's "overlord clause" has a much greater impact on them.
The transformation of the world's scientific and technological community is taking place, and now Yuanshan Group is no longer a "small company" in the "poor countryside", and its every move will have a profound impact on the world. At this time, the governments of Europe, the United States, and other world powers such as East Asia urgently summoned the relevant responsible persons to find an appropriate solution.
The customer service phone number of Yuanshan Group and the customer service phone number of Wushuang Technology were blown up at this time, and Annie's private phone calls also came and went. It was all called by heavyweights, she didn't pick it up, she didn't pick it up, and she simply turned it off in the end.
Fang Yuanshan's trick is really powerful. In the past, you could still experience the Musou system, while scolding those who spent money to buy the elite version were S.B, but now if you don't spend money, you can't use the Musou system at all, and continue to endure the bad experience of Windows.
"Distant mountains, look... ”
Hearing Anne's hesitant words on the phone, Fang Yuanshan smiled and said, "It's okay, just push it on me, if there is any problem, you let them come to me." ”
Anne on the other side was a little speechless, angry and funny: "Your phone is rarely turned on, and when they can't find you, don't you want to call me?"
"Hehe~"
He touched his nose and smiled, thought for a while and said: "The principle cannot be changed, but you can make a promise that our group is not responsible for developing relevant applications, and any company can develop application software that runs on the Musou system as long as it is authorized by us." ”
If the big cake is eaten, you must always leave a little for others, otherwise all the companies will collectively boycott it, and then issue relevant laws and regulations in the name of the state, and position their Wushuang system as illegal software, then it will be annoying.
"Okay, I'll try~"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yuanshan went to the company again, and took Murong Wan and them on the journey back to China...
