Chapter 284: Cuko's Anxiety
At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock at night in Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean.
At Apple's headquarters, CEO Cuco was discussing with his most powerful deputy, Angela.
"Although our technicians have not yet been able to decipher the mystery of the Spirit Realm Bracelet, it is clear that it has completely threatened us.
I have a fear that if we don't respond in time, they will be who we are and we will be the Nokia we used to be. ”
Cuco once again reveals his anxiety to Angela, and in front of her, Cuko doesn't need to hide his opinion.
As the CEO of a luxury brand that she personally hired with an annual salary of $70 million, Angela has seamlessly integrated Apple's online and offline businesses to serve 1 billion Apple users in the years she has been with Apple.
Cuco has repeatedly expressed his importance to Angela on different occasions, and has revealed that he will recommend Angela to take over as Apple's overall manager.
"Don't worry, Tim, now that we've kept it out of Millican, we're going to put pressure on Millican's allies to say no to it as well. Angela reassured.
Kuko waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean. Blocking it from entering the market is just the most helpless option.
Apple is a great company, and we have to have the courage to take on the challenges of innovators head-on, even if it comes from that ancient country of the East. ”
"Do you have any new ideas?" asked Angela.
"I originally agreed that you would take the blocking measures because you wanted to put pressure on that Don so that there would be a chance for us to acquire it. ”
But this Don didn't buy it, and he took the initiative to refuse to sell the product to Millican. ”
"Yes, this was unexpected, so I'm even more worried, did you see the blacklist posted on their website today?"
"Well, that's a list of people and companies who smuggled the purchased Spiritual Bracelet into Millican, and I really can't figure out how Spiritual Domain Technology managed to do it. Angela said with a frown.
"According to friends in the Ministry of Defense, 60 percent of the purchases on that list were paid for by the Ministry of Defense. Do you understand? This means that the Ministry of Defense believes that Don's account, and they are eager to unlock the dark matter secret of the Spiritual Realm Bracelet. ”
Angela's face finally became a little solemn, "If the Spirit Domain Bracelet really uses the properties of dark matter, this is indeed an unprecedented major discovery and innovation. ”
Cuco further explained: "You may not know much about IT technology, but what is more powerful in this bracelet is IT application technology and battery technology.
According to the cracks of our technicians, the existing battery simply cannot support it to run for so long, but we have not found another battery module.
Secondly, its voice module and data transmission module are also completely different from the existing known IT technology.
Do you know what that means? Lingyu Technology has its own set of IT technology!"
Angela's face changed greatly, and then continued: "It is possible that the next product of Lingyu Technology will be a mobile phone or computer, and then there is a possibility of eliminating existing IT products?"
"That's right! That's what I'm worried about. You should have watched Tang's press conference, and he said, 'If Lingyu Technology launches a product with mobile phone function, it will definitely not be the operation method of existing mobile phones'!"
After Kuco finished speaking, he already felt a little headache, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and press his temples with two thumbs.
Angela stood up and walked around the room, thinking about possible ways to respond.
Suddenly, Angela stopped, looked at Cuco and said, "Tim, I have to fly to Shanghai to meet this young scientist." ”
Cuco was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Are you trying to compromise......?
"Don't worry about the FDA, that's easy. If, as you said, Tang has amazing new IT technology in his hands, and it is based on dark matter technology, then for the entire IT world, it will lead to an amazing reshuffle, and whoever can't keep up will be out forever. ”
"That's why you went to see Don?"
Angela affirmed, "The most important thing is that due to the competition of bracelet products, we rushed to the forefront of facing the shockwave brought by the spirit technology, so that we knew that the butterfly's wings had flapped before anyone else.
As long as we change fast enough, we can take this opportunity to eliminate other manufacturers, such as our old rival Mr. Gates. ”
Cuco said, "We have the heart to compromise, will that Don accept it?"
Angela said excitedly, "He would!" Although he said no to Millican, he was more anxious to expand the sales channels of his products!
Otherwise, he would not have accepted Xiaoliang's surrender so quickly, and would not have provided OEM parts to all white goods manufacturers.
Without the support of these manufacturers, according to his current burst of production capacity, it will be difficult for his inventory to digest in a short time.
He actually needs the market for Millican, it's just that we cut off his idea. As long as we use this as a bargaining chip now, we can definitely convince him. ”
After listening to Angela's words, Cuco calmed down and asked, "Tang's cooperation strategy with Xiaoliang and other manufacturers is to only provide OEM parts and not technical licensing.
In other words, even if we compromise, we will not be able to obtain his new IT technology, so when he has a new IT product, we will not have any lead compared with other manufacturers, and we will also be eliminated at that time. ”
Angela looked at Kuko and said, "This is what I'm going to talk to Tang, even if he can't license the technology right now, then he must license it to us as soon as he obtains the relevant patents." I just need a priority, and Don should agree. ”
Cuko looked at Angela with some surprise and said, "Priority? Do you want to use priority to distance yourself from the latecomers?"
Angela said, "Trust me, Tim. Don definitely wants to be Intel, or Qualcomm, and he can get the whole world as long as he collects a dark matter tax.
We catered to him and paid for him. As long as we are one step ahead, we will have the opportunity to continue to gain the right to speak in the future. ”
"I know what you're thinking. It's just that we Apple have always been unique, and this time we have to fall under someone else's technology, which is really ......."
"Tim, I know. Angela interrupted Cuco and said, "It's not your fault, Apple has invested in many emerging scientific fields, who would have thought that there would be such amazing applications of technology in the field of dark matter?"
We need to be accountable to the board, and we need to make some people money.
However, I believe that our technical reserves are not possessed by Tang, and once we obtain the technology license, we will definitely be able to develop the dark matter application technology that belongs to Apple. ”
Kuko sighed deeply and asked, "Are you going to contact Spirit Domain Technology just like that, or do you want to go to Huhai first and let Ge Yue contact that Tang?"
Angela said: "Tim, haven't you noticed? Although that Tang is the largest shareholder, the second largest shareholder is an offshore company, and the president, James Thor, used to work for Merrill Lynch, so we can send goodwill to that Tang through him." ”
Kuco nodded, "You have been careful to observe, no matter what the background of this offshore company is, at least this James Thor can be contacted." ”
"Tim, don't worry too much, it's just the beginning, we have time to negotiate a good price for Don. ”
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, and I authorize you to negotiate all the conditions with Tang. ”
Cuco said, picking up the spirit bracelet on the table and observing it, as if trying to see through the inside of this thing at a glance.
He didn't know that due to the existence of this spiritual bracelet, the conversation between him and Angela had been transmitted to the hidden formation outside, and then transmitted back to Huhai through the Jasper network trunk line.
When this information was transmitted back to Huhai and entered the special database, Zhixinyuan sent a prompt to Tang Chuan as soon as possible after processing it.
At this time, Tang Chuan and Lei Jiaqi had already finished lunch, and Tang Chuan was driving Lei Jiaqi back to school.
After receiving the information, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Chuan's mouth.
When he was about to arrive at the school, Lei Jiaqi said: "Tang Chuan, after the holiday, our school entrance and exit control is strict, so you don't have to drive your car in, just let me down at the school gate." ”
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the University of Political Science and Law, which also has to be managed. Tang Chuan couldn't help but complain.
When he saw the gate of Huhai University, he found that there were many cars parked on the side of the road on this side of the gate, so Tang Chuan simply drove past the school gate for a while before stopping.
"Just take two more steps and eat less. Tang Chuan joked.
"Hmph, I'm famous for not eating fat. Okay, thank you for your Western hospitality! It is estimated that Huihui will regret returning to Dongjiang early. Bye. ”
After Lei Jiaqi finished speaking, he put on his bag and got out of the car.
"Hey, watch out for the crystal cup in your bag, don't hit people with your bag again!" Tang Chuan shouted.
"Ah, let's go. Lei Jiaqi raised his hand and walked towards the school gate without looking back.
Tang Chuan immediately started the car and drove forward, but after only twenty meters, Tang Chuan pulled over again.
Because in his perception that he hadn't retracted, Lei Jiaqi had only walked a few steps, and a van suddenly rushed over and stopped near Lei Jiaqi, the door opened instantly, and the two big men rushed towards Lei Jiaqi.
