Early the next morning, in the conference room of the US APPOLE company headquarters.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit strange. More than a dozen directors in suits and ties all focused their attention on CEO Cook.

As capitalists, what they are most concerned about is the ups and downs of their net worth, but since yesterday, APPOLE's stock has been falling again and again.

US$15 billion evaporated in just one day. These directors here lost a lot of money, and their net worth shrank by at least half.

How can they not be anxious?

"Hey! Cook, don't you say something?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged white man wearing a blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses looked directly at Cook and said.

This man is Levinson, the current non-executive head of the APPLE board of directors. The longest-serving co-lead director.

Of course, among the shareholders of the entire APPLE company, Levinson also holds the largest proportion of shares.

It must be said that Levinson’s background is extremely brilliant, having won the Washington D.C. in 1972 He received a bachelor's degree from Princeton University in 1977 and a doctorate in chemistry from Princeton University in

1977. In 1980, he joined Gene Technology Company; in 1995, he served as CEO of Gene Technology Company and brought the company from the brink of bankruptcy to an annual revenue of 13 billion. U.S. dollars, with a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars.

No one, including Cook, dared to underestimate him.

Because Levinson’s contribution to APPLE was no less than that of Joe, who respected and praised Levinson highly during his lifetime, and even He treats him as a good teacher and helpful friend

"Hey, Levinson, you also know that this trip to China is not pleasant......"

Cook was hesitant to speak, and his face looked very tangled.

"O,FUCK, Cook, we don't want to know how you do such a stupid thing, but I'm afraid you need to explain why?"

In the conference room, an old man spoke loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked solemn.

Schugel, the former CEO of Grumman, the world's third largest arms dealer, whether it is the B2 stealth bomber or the Global Hawk wireless Man-machine, even the Nimitz aircraft carrier, is produced by Grumman.

As the former president of such a giant company, no one knows how much money Shugel has, or how much stock he holds in APPOLE.

But. Even so, everyone still had the highest awe for this old man.

Hearing Shugel's words, Cook's face became even uglier.

Although he is the CEO of APPOLE on the surface and has a good reputation, he actually controls APPOLE. The person is the board of directors.

Therefore, whether it is Levinson or Schugel, he cannot offend

"Gentlemen, I think I should say that when I met with Longteng Group Chairman Lin Feng and CEO Jiang Feng, I proposed the acquisition plan."

"oh?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Longteng Group is a powerful enterprise with many world-leading technologies. It will not be long before it becomes a global giant. If it can be acquired, it will be a huge gain without any harm.

"I failed! Cook waved his hand and said with some helplessness:"Then, I discussed the intention of cooperation with Longteng Group, trying to install their Pangu on APPLE mobile phones."

For a time, all the directors present focused their attention on Cook.

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

They listened intently and did not want to miss any detail.

"Longteng Group does not object to installing their Pangu-smartphone manager on APPLE, but they need our source code because Pangu cannot be installed without the source code of IOS."

Cook reported the report with a dark face.

At this time, everyone nodded without saying a word, indicating for him to continue.

"At present, our company's business volume in Greater China has dropped by 50% compared to last year. If we cannot make SIRI break through"

"In other words, we cannot technically achieve Pangu-Smartphone Butler. Apart from cooperation, there is only destruction."

Without any hesitation, Cook stated all the reasons for going to China.

In terms of artificial intelligence, no country or company in the world can match Longteng Group, and the existence of Pangu-Mobile Butler is even more direct. The competition has been pushed to the next century.

Now, all the businesses of APPOLE are withering. If Longteng Group continues to develop, it is very likely that APPLE will be eliminated.

Hearing this, many board members present fell into deep thought.

Even in The Longteng Group is very famous all over the world. Apart from legitimate business practices, there is nothing they can do to stop the expansion of the Longteng Group.

After all, not everything can be solved with power. The products sold abroad are all registered in the country. Production is always related to the interests of the country, not the interests of China.

At this point, it is impossible for the employees of the major Longteng branches to let them do whatever they want.

For a time, the scene fell into dead silence, and they suddenly found themselves There's nothing you can do about the Soaring Dragon

"The source code must not be open source, which is tantamount to holding the control in the hands of others."A few minutes later, Shugel said immediately.

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

"Everyone, I want you to understand that the company's next generation product has been developed. Without Pangu's help, it would be impossible to compete with Nirvana S."

Facing everyone's gaze, Cook said calmly.

But no one spoke. Everyone may have a plan in mind, but no one wanted to make the first move.

This meeting ended without a beginning.

No one knew , as a director of APPLE, Schugel actually made a simple and direct choice after leaving the meeting room.

"Hello! I'll pay 50 million US dollars to find a few people to take down the chairman of Longteng."

"Yes, sir, I'll make arrangements right away."
