Chapter 255

While Calmo and Adele were confused by the sudden change of fate, in another room not far from them, Apple's Cook's and his party had gloomy faces dripping.

On the computer screen in front of them, there were more than a dozen other images, all of which were high-level Apple personnel on the other side of the ocean.

As soon as they woke up, they received an urgent video conference invitation from Cook.

"What do you think?"

After a moment of silence in the room, Hal said, "I don't think Future Technology has any intention of cooperating at all, they don't plan to sell the company and technology at all. We are wasting precious time here. ”

"Indeed...... Future Technology is very resolute, and they didn't look surprised at all when they heard Mr. Cook's offer today, and I'm pretty sure they never had any intention of selling the company. ”

The other person recalled the experience just now, analyzed Tang Yun's facial expressions, and then came up with the same answer.

Apple's acquisition plan is unlikely to succeed.

Apple can see the potential of those technologies, of course they can see it, plus there is no shortage of funds for the development of technology in the future, and it does not accept capital injections, it is a completely private company, even if it wants to find a way to invest.

And it's not like it used to be, and no one would be stupid enough to sell a hen that lays golden eggs

"I don't know if you have noticed Mr. Tang's words."

Cook frowned: "She said, 'If you're here to talk about buying future technology, then you can go back now.'" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Cook's reminder reminded them all of this.

Cook continued: "I think there are two meanings she wants to express in this sentence, one is that we all know that the future technology will not be sold, and the other is that if we don't talk about acquisitions, we can talk about something else!" ”

"Something else? What else is there to talk about? ”

"Damn, the situation is getting worse and worse now, the future technology is too arrogant, they must be sanctioned!"

"We have to make them understand that if they want to enter this market, they must obey our rules!"

"Flower growers now need a stable development environment, and if we divest and move factories, it will have a huge impact on the employment situation in their territory."

"Divestment is the last resort, and I am more willing to choose to cooperate with Sanfu than this, and use memory particles to block the flower planting market."

Future technology has made it clear that it wants to enter the mobile phone market, and the two sides are mortal enemies, so what is there to talk about with the enemy?

It is the right choice to take advantage of the current advantage and strangle the enemy in the cradle!

"We're so proud." Cook looked at them, "Pride blinds, see the reality, we are no longer the best mobile phone makers in the world, the future of technology is." We have to absorb their strengths and turn them into our own. ”

"You mean, technical cooperation with Future Technology?"

"Yes." Cook took a deep breath and made his brain more sober, "We are bound to get flexible screen technology and lithium-air battery technology, and now global manufacturers can wait and see, but we can't." ”

"Our brand is still very valuable in the eyes of consumers, not to mention that even if Future Technology really launches Dawning mobile phones, there will not be so many developers to develop applications for them in the early stage, and our app store and the number of existing users will be our strongest advantage."

"Being the first to launch a love madness that supports flexible screens and lithium-air batteries can save our stock price."

"Now I propose to terminate the development of the madness immediately, the engineering team is on standby, and we will pay a high price to obtain the exclusive license for the flexible screen and lithium-air battery! Be the first to exclude other manufacturers from the competition! ”

"Then, according to these two new technologies, a new mobile phone that is comparable to Shuguang mobile phones will be designed to grab back the market!"

In the video, a senior executive frowned: "But there are only three months before our next press conference, and there is no time to produce results." ”

"Then work overtime! Gentlemen! Now Apple is at the point of life and death! We can no longer take money out of consumers' pockets as leisurely as we used to! If you want technology to make a profit, you have to pay some price! ”

"Do you get up early and work late like those crazy people who grow flowers? It's not a good proposition, I want to enjoy life ......"

Cook said coldly: "Unless you can come up with another product that can compete with future technology, just wait for Apple to go bankrupt." ”

"Are you too nervous?"

"The production capacity of Shuguang mobile phones at the beginning is definitely insufficient, and it is too late to enter the overseas market, which is our last ray of life, if we don't seize this opportunity, we are really finished." Again, Cook emphasized, "Gentlemen, now I need you to vote on the proposal I have just made. ”

"It's not a wise choice to work with the enemy."

"There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests, right? So I agree. ”

"Cook, I'd like to see the results of our buying of future technology."

"They simply refused," Cook said. ”

"That's 50 billion, what if you raise the price to 100 billion? Or even 200 billion? One shareholder is clearly planning to get out of the way, "If you lose your voice, Apple is just a good company, so I still recommend that you propose another acquisition." ”

"......" Cook was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, Mr. Crane, I will propose the idea of acquisition again tomorrow, and directly raise the price to $200 billion, but I want you to assure you that if the other party refuses again this time, you must support my previous proposal." ”

"I promise."

Then the other shareholders also voted, and they did not want to see Apple's stock price continue to fall, and for every percentage point of decline, their personal assets would shrink by hundreds of millions of dollars, a loss that was too high for each of them to accept.

In the dark night, on the signal tower of a certain high-rise building, Song Ming sat on the edge of a hundred meters in the air, listening to the intelligence intercepted by Xiao Su while blowing the cold wind, and when he heard that they actually wanted to acquire future technology, the corner of his mouth raised a faint smile: "Don't give up yet...... Sure enough, after being in a high position for a long time, I am not used to being on an equal footing with others, but ...... I'm going to drag you off the clouds this time, and you have no choice. ”

Song Ming glanced at the room in the hotel in the distance, his body was instantly covered by the attack armor, and then disappeared into the air and jumped out of the tower directly.

Following.

Yesterday, Cook and his party, who were scared by the reporters, rushed to Future Technology early, but still met a person who he hated very much.

Liz Little.

Liz didn't know where she went yesterday, but she was obviously here waiting for the news today.

"Damn it!"

Hal ran over and roared angrily, "You didn't keep our promise! Did you send back yesterday's news!? ”

Adele glanced at the office in Future Technology and smiled like a flower: "I promise with my character, absolutely not!" I'd like to see more news! ”

"Hal! Follow her! Guaranteed she won't disappear again! ”

Cook was not in the mood to talk to her, and after explaining it, he came to the conference room again and met Tang Yun.

Tang Yun, who was full of energy, said: "Mr. Cook, good morning, it seems that you didn't seem to have a good rest last night. ”

"It's early, jet lag tortures my spirit, and the hotel doesn't have your sleeping mattresses, so the quality of sleep is not very good."

Cook sighed, and then said straight to the point: "Mr. Tang, in a word, 200 billion, dollars, sell or not." ”

Tang Yun, who had just sat down, smiled, then stood up and left directly.

Song Ming had already told her Apple's plan last night, so Tang Yun was not surprised.

If it was her, she wouldn't give up so easily.

I'm afraid that now the top executives of Apple are annoyed in their hearts, why Future Technology is a private company that grows flowers, which gives them no chance to hack the world.

Cook hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Tang, please stay!" ”

"Mr. Cook, our boss's attitude has been clearly conveyed yesterday, the future of technology will not be sold, please go back."

"I know, it's just that that's what the board of directors meant, and I have to mention it, and now that I know the answer, then we can talk about something else."

Cook sighed in his heart, he was once sought after by countless people, but now he has fallen to this point, which is really embarrassing.

Tang Yun sat down again, her expression much more serious: "Please speak." ”

Cook didn't dare to play any more tricks, and went straight to the showdown: "I hope to be able to buy the exclusive license for the flexible screen and lithium-air battery." ”

"It can't be." Tang Yun said very politely: "Not to mention that we have to use it ourselves, secondly, we are a flower planter's company, and we will not carry out a technical blockade on the flower planter's mobile phone company." ”

Damn it!

Cook thought for a moment, just retreated to the next best thing, and said: "Then I hope that Apple can obtain exclusive authorization from overseas companies." ”

"Equally impossible."

Tang Yun once again rejected his proposal: "The application range of these two technologies is very wide, we can't let you buy out the technology exclusively because of the cooperation with you, I can only give you an exclusive license for the overseas mobile phone market at most, that is to say, if your PC department wants to use it, you need to buy another license again." ”

This is also the best result after discussing with Song Ming last night, so that all the hatred of overseas mobile phone companies can be gathered on Apple.

And even if Apple knew that Future Technology wanted to use them to pull hatred, it could only grit its teeth and accept its fate with tears in its eyes.

Because without these two technologies, it is only a matter of time before they go bankrupt.

And with these two technologies, they have at least a chance to survive all the other mobile phone companies......

But that's just the mandate......
