Meeting room at Apple headquarters.

The atmosphere was a bit dreary, and at the conference table, the directors in suits and leather shoes all looked at the first Cook.

Apple's stock has fallen again and again, and they are losing money and losing value every minute.

This is not good news.

"Cook, you went to Huaxia, what was the harvest this time?" Across from Cook, a middle-aged man with glasses asked.

People who know him in the circle will admire him for three points.

When he joined the gene technology company as a scientist, he transformed the gene technology company from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy to a giant in the biological field with an annual revenue of $13 billion and a market value of more than $100 billion, creating a Wall Street myth.

He is the chairman and CEO of Genentech, the largest pharmaceutical company in the United States, and the highest shareholder of Apple's board of directors, and the current chairman of Apple's board of directors, Levinson.

As soon as Levinson spoke, Cook perked up, and although Apple was under his control, he was also subject to the board of directors.

"Levinson, this time I went to Huaxia, to be honest, I didn't get too many useful things, but instead did a bunch of stupid things." Cook said.

"We're not interested in hearing your stupidity, we just want to know what you've gained." An elderly man in his seat, who was close to 70 years old, spoke.

As soon as he spoke, the entire room straightened.

Shugel, former CEO of Northrop Grumman Worldwide. This is the third largest arms dealer in the world, and the famous B2 stealth bomber, Global Hawk drone, and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers are all products of this company. No one in the outside world knows how much Apple stock he holds, but those who know him are in awe of him.

This old man with a two-pinch beard is definitely one of the people at the top of the American food chain.

Hearing Shugel speak, Cook's heart sank. Don't look at him as the CEO of Apple, the scenery is beautiful, but the person who really controls Apple is the board of directors.

"I met with the chairman and president of Marching Ant and came up with the idea of buying their company."

"The result?"

"Refused, refused without hesitation, they said not to sell the company." "So I talked to them about the idea of developing an IOS smart assistant," Cook said. ”

All the directors present had their eyes on Cook and listened to Cook's words with expressionless faces.

Former Vice President Al Gore, current Disney Chairman and CEO Robert, former Avon Group Chairman Zhong Binxian, East BlackRock partner Susan, former Boeing CFO James, this is the most luxurious board lineup.

Anyone who faces this kind of lineup has no bottom in his heart.

"FINALLY THEY ASKED US TO OPEN SOURCE IOS. Because of the design of the intelligent assistant, it is necessary to understand the core code of IOS, otherwise it cannot be developed. Cook said with a dark face.

Even he didn't know whether what Chen Mo said was true or false, so he could only believe it.

The crowd didn't answer, and Cook continued.

"I propose that both sides are open source. We opened the source code of IOS to them, and they opened the source code of the smart assistant to us, but in the end it was rejected. They insisted that unless we open the source code of Apple's system, we would not be able to develop an intelligent assistant on the IOS side, and nothing would come of the conversation. ”

"Tell me about the company." James spoke.

"The mobile phone business, in Greater China, fell by 9% in the last quarter, and the market share fell to fourth. After the emergence of intelligent assistants in the marching ant company, the sales decline was more serious. If we still can't support intelligent assistants, or if our Siri has no technological breakthroughs, it won't be long before the mobile phone will bid farewell to the Chinese market. ”

Cook had a gloomy face, which was why he had to go to Marina City in person.

Smart assistants have upgraded mobile phones by a whole generation, and if they don't keep pace with the times, Apple's mobile phone business is the next Nokia. In the future, marching ant companies will enter foreign markets, and they will be even more dangerous.

"Do you guys have any better ideas? Or open the source code of the cell phone system to the marching ant company? Cook asked.

Several people pondered, the marching ant company is in China, not in the United States, and it is not a listed company. If they want to move the marching ant company, they can't pass the Huaxia government's hurdle at all. After all, China is not the United States and Europe, where only the Huaxia government has the say, not the capital predators.

If you're abroad, it's easy to do. They can do whatever they want, but that piece of red land can't, and any tentacles that break the rules will be cut down in the past, and there is no mercy to talk about.

Thinking about it this way, they really can't do anything about the marching ant company. There was a dead silence in the conference room, and everyone was thinking about what to do.

"It is impossible to open up the source code of IOS, and giants never bow to ants." Shugel said calmly.

The others looked at each other calmly and didn't say much.

"Our company's S2 will be held soon, and if there is a smart assistant, its performance will surpass any mobile phone on the market." Cook's tone was calm: "But if not, I'm afraid it will be troublesome this time." ”

The people on the field did not speak, they all made their own calculations in their hearts.

It wasn't until the meeting was dismissed that everyone left the room.

After getting in the car, Shugel took out his mobile phone, with a cold light in his eyes, and when he heard that the call was connected, he flashed slightly: "Find two people to go to Huaxia, I want to get something, 10 million." ”

"Okay sir, I'll arrange it now."

After hanging up the phone, Shugel's wrinkled face had a sinister smile. After the vehicle starts, as the vehicle leaves Apple. Other people's vehicles also left after him.

……

After Cook quietly left, the turmoil about the marching ant company slowly subsided. Everything is back to normal, and the marching ant company is operating normally, as if those rumors on the Internet have never appeared.

And Apple, on the other hand, did not make any unusual moves.

However, the topic of the second generation of butterfly eyes and butterflies appears in the media's field of vision from time to time.

As the flagship of the marching ant company, the butterfly eye has been pre-sold for more than two million units during this time. This pre-sale volume greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

This pre-sale volume means that the marching ant company has been recognized by users.

The first batch of mobile phones has already been shipped, which is a bit in short supply, and will continue to ship in the future.

Zhao Min has also sent people to contact telecom operators in Europe to prepare to introduce butterfly-eye mobile phones to the European market. As for the US market, they don't consider it for the time being.

Even a unicorn like Huawei wants to enter the US market, but it is helpless, and it has worked hard for so many years to open a gap. They don't think that the current energy of marching ants will allow them to enter the U.S. market.

Therefore, Zhao Min's eyes are on the European market, and he may be able to replace Apple's mobile phone in the future.

The company is developing rapidly, and Chen Mo is not idle.

Chen Mo hung the last design drawing on the wall of the laboratory, clapped his hands, and stared at the design drawing on the wall in front of him.

Seven design drawings, these are the designs of the robot. Including the design of the head of the machine, the design of the limbs and the design of the body. The design of the body is the most intricate and elaborate, and this is the most important part of the robot.

A lot of functions will be concentrated here, so the design is very careful.

The design drawings of the parts have been handed over to Zhao Min, so that the senior fitters of the workshop factory can build them according to the requirements and will be completed soon. When the time comes, his task is to assemble.

But before that, the robot's battery is to be made.

While Chen Mo was busy designing the robot, on a small road on the southwest border, two big men walked out of the mountains and forests, with a terrifying momentum.

"I heard this is a forbidden place for mercenaries? Hehe, I don't see it well. The black man on the left said.

"Bol, don't get too happy. Complete the task first, leave safely, and then say this, it's not easy here. ”

"Okay, cowardly Jack."
