"Mr. Cook, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!" Lei Lu's expression was a little helpless, and he was no longer calm.

"Oh, is Cosmotech so greedy, and doesn't agree with our bid?" asked Cook, frowning.

Cook didn't think about Cosmos Technology's refusal to trade, but thought that Cosmos Technology disliked the low price. This also made Cook scold greed in his heart, and the five-year usage fee, 5 billion US dollars is not enough?

He has learned that even if the Tai Chi voice assistant also uses the same method as on the Android system, charging fees in iOS devices, it may be more than 5 billion in five years, but it is not too much.

What's more, without Apple's open system permission, Tai Chi voice assistant can't do it, and the experience on Android is like that, so it is estimated that not many people are willing to pay for it.

Moreover, $5 billion was already under tremendous pressure from Cook to convince the board of directors to approve it, and no more would have been possible.

"No, Mr. Cook, it's not a matter of price, it's that the chairman of Cosmos simply doesn't agree to such a deal. Lei Lu shook his head and opened his mouth to deny it, looking even more helpless.

"Disagree, how could you disagree?" Cook jumped up from his seat and exclaimed, looking incredulous.

Don't even want to send money?

Cook really couldn't understand it, and at the same time was full of doubt.

If it weren't for Apple's lead in facilitating this deal, would Cosmos really have to give up on developing the iOS version completely?

Or, develop a castrated version? But will anyone really be willing to pay for it? The reason why some people buy it on Android is not because of those different, even more advanced, sci-fi features!

However, as Cook discussed with the institute's engineers, most of those features are not available on iOS due to the inherent closed-loop limitations of iOS.

Cook pondered, and when Lei Lu saw this, he didn't make a sound to bother.

Moments later!

"Did the chairman of Cosmos Technology give any reason, and what did he think?" calmed down, and Cook couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

He was really curious about what the magical genius chairman of Universe Technology thought!

"Mr. Cook, in fact, I just wanted to talk about this matter, the chairman of Cosmos Technology has changed the content of our transaction, and he is willing to sell the source code with the interface for 2 billion instead of the source code!"

"The source program!" Cook's face changed when he heard about the deal.

The content of such a transaction is already somewhat inconsistent with his original intention, and owning the source code is equivalent to owning this technology, which can be integrated into his own voice system.

And if it's a source program, Lei Lu just said, what people sell is a source program with an interface, then the inside must be encrypted, through guò's practical operation during this time, Cook doesn't believe that his own people can crack it.

In this way, it is equivalent to completely giving up your own voice system and switching to cosmic technology, and the follow-up updates also need to rely on others, which is also equivalent to putting the voice assistant of your own system on others.

However, the voice assistant of Cosmos Technology is really important to Apple, although it is only affected by the Chinese market at present, but if you wait until the voice assistant of Cosmos Technology is all over the world, the impact will be too great.

Cook was a little hesitant, even if Cosmos changed the content of the transaction, he couldn't give up the deal lightly, he needed to think.

"Lei Lu, I need to think about this matter, the board needs to talk about it, I need some time to get back to you!" Cook said to Lei Lu.

"I understand, Mr. Cook, then I'll wait for your news!" Lei Lu nodded, as expected.

Even if Cook has no opinion, such a deal must be approved by the board of directors, after all, it is not a trivial matter. This is the result of the dispersion of shares in listed companies.

If it is placed in Universe Technology, everything is decided by Liu Haoyu's words, even if it is Zhang Lei, no matter how much he doesn't understand, he can only implement it.

After the video call, Cook didn't immediately go to the board, but pondered on his own, thinking about the pros and cons of the deal, and at the same time considering whether he could accept it.

Cook's idea is that only if he agrees, he will go to the board of directors and convince them, and if he doesn't, the board will simply say that the deal has failed.

At the same time, after receiving the news that Cosmos Technology agreed to the talks, Microsoft and Google also began to arrange the talks one after another.

These tech giants also compete with each other, and Microsoft and Google originally had no idea of talking to Cosmos Technology, just because they got the news that Apple had sent someone to Cosmos to talk.

Although I don't know what Apple's purpose is, this does not affect the idea that both companies want to step in and get a piece of the pie and reap the benefits.

So, it was a very coincidence that when Apple's negotiators had just left, Microsoft and Google called Cosmos one after another.

Although Apple's visit to Wèn Cosmos Technology is secretive, since even the two old rivals, Microsoft and Google, know about it, it naturally can't hide it from some media.

This is also because the heads of large companies have received too much attention, and every move will arouse the awareness of people with intentions.

So, on the evening news, there are more news related to space technology:

"Apple's top management secretly visited Wèn Universe Technology, what kind of deal is contained in this?"

"Apple's high-level and cosmos technology secret talks, the purpose is self-evident!"

And some media directly said the results of the speculation and put it on the headline:

"Apple's high-level secret visit to Wèn Universe Technology is for the Tai Chi voice assistant?"

"The gospel of Apple users, the iOS version of Tai Chi voice assistant is coming?"

……

"Nima, are these reports credible? I'm a Xiaomi user, I'm passing by..."

"The expectation is real, and it's been a long time coming, but didn't the chairman of Cosmos Technology just say at the press conference that he would not develop an iOS version?" said the commenter, who is obviously an Apple user.

"I know a fart upstairs, it's because the chairman of Cosmos Technology said that he would not develop an iOS version, so Apple was in a hurry, so he took the initiative to come to the door!"

"What Lou Lou said makes sense, and suddenly I feel that our technology company in Dahuaxia is so cheating and cheating!" commented and went upstairs.

"Anyway, I still hope to be able to release the iOS version soon, and I'm already waiting silently"

"Apple, I'll just leave it here, if there is no iOS version of the Tai Chi voice assistant, I won't buy your next-generation mobile phone!" So, this Apple quickly attracted many likes and comments from netizens.

"Agree to go upstairs!"

"I also agree, if I don't show up, I won't buy it!"

……

For these reports, netizens are enthusiastically commenting, especially some Apple users, who are about to be excited!

Is the long-awaited iOS version coming?

This is the expectation of some fruit fans.

There are also some who have said that without the iOS version of the Tai Chi voice assistant, they will end their fate with the next generation of Apple mobile phones.

Well, seeing these comments and about these reports, the depressed Lei Lu hurriedly reported it to Cook at the headquarters.

Lei Lu's report caused Cook to scold his mother again, and he almost fainted in the toilet crying.
