Chapter 249: Only weakness is the original sin
Chapter 249
Cook was in a rather bad mood for the past two days, and just as the company's market capitalization was about to break the trillion dollar mark, the stock price fluctuated sharply.
Since the future technology of the flower family announced the dawning mobile phone, Apple's stock price began to fall all the way, so far, two trading days after G, Apple's stock price has fallen by more than 8%, with its market value of nearly 879 billion US dollars, 8% is 72 billion US dollars, more than 455.3 billion yuan, which is equivalent to the instant evaporation of a flower planter.
Cook is going crazy!
This is just the product concept that has just been released, and the Sugon mobile phone has not yet been launched!
In this way, it has had such a violent impact on Apple, if you wait for the end of the year, after the official launch of the dawning mobile phone in January next year, then it will be worth it!?
In this era, except for men and women, everything pursues a fast word, celebrities appear quickly, forgotten people quickly, rich rise fast, decline fast, technology appears fast, elimination is fast, a company is on fire, bankruptcy is faster.
Don't look at Apple's current market capitalization, once there is any technological breakthrough, this behemoth will collapse completely in an instant.
Nokia was a typical representative of the year, because it did not grasp the change of smart phones, and gambled its hopes on Microsoft's teammates, and as a result, the huge Nokia empire collapsed in an instant, and disappeared from the eyes of consumers in a blink of an eye, leaving only a legend.
Many analysts believe that this is not actually because of the impact of the yet-to-be-released Dawning phone, but simply because consumers are tired of Apple's designs that have always copied themselves without making eye-catching breakthroughs.
But Cook is very clear that the reason is partly what those analysts say, but more importantly, because people know from the technology of the future what they really need, not the kind of smartphone with old wine in a new bottle, but a brand-new, revolutionary smart terminal that can replace mobile phones and computers.
After watching that press conference, who would be interested in the current mobile phone? No matter how annoying it looks, I can't wait to replace it immediately.
In particular, these damn smartphones are charged at least once a day, and frequent charging has almost tormented consumers crazy, and the revolutionary lithium-air battery on the Sugon mobile phone will completely liberate them from this damn, frequently charged life, and they don't have to worry about what they get and what power phobia, and they can use their mobile phones as they want.
Cook is smart, and because he's smart, he can see that another revolution in smartphones has arrived, and he has no choice but to buy future technology and lead the way again, or he will become one of the obsolete ones, or even ...... Eventually disappears.
Because Cook is very smart, after a meeting to discuss, he decided to come and negotiate with Future Technology in person.
After arriving in Zhongzhou City, Cook and his assistant went straight to Future Technology, but when they came to Future Technology, their faces changed dramatically.
The building under the Future Technology Headquarters is full of reporters.
"Damn! We are obviously traveling secretly, why are there so many journalists!? ”
Cook was shocked, could someone have revealed their news!?
"Mr. Cook, what should I do?"
The assistant also panicked, if the reporters found out that Cook actually came to the flower shop to negotiate with future technology, I am afraid that investors will further lose confidence, and Apple's stock price will plunge again!
Cook's face was cloudy, and after a while, he gritted his teeth: "Go back to the hotel!" ”
No matter what, don't show up now!
They arrived at the hotel they had booked and then contacted Future Technology to meet with their general manager.
……
"Let's go to the hotel and meet him?" Song Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "This shelf is really not low." ”
Now it's the apples begging them, not the apples!
"Tell them that if there is anything they want to talk about, come to the company directly, otherwise they can go back and forth."
Liu Keyi was stunned: "That's Apple......"
"Keyi!" Tang Yun said very seriously: "Don't think that Apple is great, you must be clear, now you are a person of future technology, and it is only a matter of time before future technology surpasses Apple, you have to correct your mentality!" ”
Liu Keyi was surprised: "Yes!" ”
After she went out, Tang Yun said helplessly: "That...... Big boss, can you explain what happened to those reporters downstairs? ”
Song Ming spread his hands: "I didn't do it, it was Liang Jinsong." ”
"He? Why? ”
"I can only guess what he thinks......"
Song Ming deduced that Liang Jinsong may have wanted to enhance the sense of national honor and self-confidence of the Chinese people through this incident.
After contacting Song Ming, don't worry about Song Ming being bought by Apple, then you can send a signal to the Chinese people through these reporters, even the high-flying Eagle Country Apple Company is now desperate and ran to the flower planter to ask for cooperation and let go, and your confidence in the word "domestic" should also be improved, right?
"Well, so what are you going to do?"
"Refusal, of course."
……
"What!?"
After receiving Liu Keyi's reply, Cook's assistant looked incredulous: "You actually let us come to the door to negotiate in person!?" We're Apple! ”
"We are the technology of the future." Liu Keyi said very calmly: "If you don't want to come to the company to talk, you can go back where you came from." ”
After hanging up the phone, Cook's assistant hurriedly found Cook and shouted indignantly: "This futuristic technology person is too much!" We're Apple! They even let us go to their company to talk! Don't they know that it's already surrounded by journalists!? ”
Cook said very calmly, "No, it's because they know that they let us talk." ”
The assistant's face changed slightly: "They want to rub our heat!" ”
"That's just one aspect." Cook stared intently at the computer screen, the jet lag affecting him minimally, "The most important thing is that they don't have anything to rely on us, on the contrary, we need them now, so they don't have to grovel to us." ”
The assistant was still quite complaining: "But don't flower growers always say that they are a state of etiquette?" It's so unkind! This is very different from the treatment I had when I came to plant flowers before! ”
Cook said calmly: "Maybe it's because I finally found that I wasn't strong enough, because only the strong are qualified to give others kindness, and the weak will be bullied regardless of good or evil. ”
"Because Apple is strong enough, we can make rules that are beneficial to us, and now, because the technology of the future is strong enough, they can make their rules fearlessly, either follow them or get out."
The assistant complained, "Damn! I hate this feeling of being weaker than people! ”
"If you don't want to be bullied because you are weak, you can only make yourself stronger than anyone else."
Cook said as he began to get dressed.
"Mr. Cook?"
"Since the other party has made the rules, then we can only follow the rules."
Cook is also helpless, he has always been used to making his own rules, how could he be willing to be controlled by others? However, he had no choice.
Apple is on the verge of survival.
Cook was stunned as soon as he opened the door, and there was a figure standing in the doorway. Spicy. Sense of blonde, and this blonde he also happens to know.
Cook was really shocked, subconsciously looked behind her, didn't find the camera, then calmed down a little, and then his face sank: "Ms. Liz!?" How did you end up here!? Where did you get the news? ”
Liz smiled slightly, and quickly took out a voice recorder: "Mr. Cook, of course I can't tell you from my sources, but I want to take the time to interview you-"
"Sorry, I'm not giving any interviews right now!"
Cook walked forward with a stiff face, and several assistants glanced at Liz and hurriedly followed.
Liz, who was smiling like a flower, didn't care, and followed behind and said to herself: "Mr. Cook, CEO of Apple, was in a bad mood and refused to be interviewed, and it seems that yesterday's stock price drop had a very serious impact on him." In order to solve Apple's dilemma, Mr. Cook personally went to the planter's house to try to contact Future Technology, but unfortunately he was turned away, and Apple's future is worrying...... Well, the mission is complete, and you can go shopping. ”
Cook, who was walking in front, stiffened, his face turned completely black, he really hated reporters!
"Damn it! You can't report that! ”
These damn journalists will make up anything for the sake of sales for the sake of the eyes of readers and viewers, and whether you say what they want or not, they can distort the facts and show readers and viewers what the journalists want them to see.
Just like just now, Cook just refused to be interviewed, this damn woman can write a text message casually, and what's even more terrifying is that after this text message is sent, it will 100% make Apple's stock price evaporate billions of dollars again!
The reporter's pen is the most terrible weapon!
"Why not?" Liz spread her hands and looked at him very innocently, "These are all facts, aren't they?" And you have no right to interfere with my freedom of speech. ”
The assistant next to him shouted angrily: "We were not turned away!" We're going to buy them now! ”
Assistant Hal finished shouting, and Liz's eyes lit up.
Cook was shocked and slapped his head: "Howl, you idiot! ”
"So ......"
Liz looked at Cook with a smile, "Mr. Cook, are you sure you still want to refuse my interview?" ”
Cook said with a dark face: "Follow! Give us the mobile phone, you can only take the voice recorder, from now on, until the end of the negotiation, you must not leave our sight! ”
This damn woman though is a personality. Feeling the fire. Spicy Angel, but she's a mobile disaster!
