Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 972: Another meeting

Hassabis seriously consulted with shareholders, senior management, and old employees, but he did not make a decision quickly, and everyone's opinions were divided.

Two days later, Hassabis approached Mustafa Suleiman for a single chat.

Mustafa Suleiman is the co-founder of DeepMind, responsible for the application and commercialization of AI technology, and is also the man behind the NHS incident three years ago.

And Suleiman is the only co-founder in charge of external work, and the others are in charge of technical work, so Hassabis wanted to hear his thoughts.

"At this time, it is hard for Google to support our investment. It is an undeniable fact, and I heard that IBM has recently started to talk to Google about the acquisition of the quantum department.

If someone can redeem us at this time, it is indeed good news for us. After all, the project has to go. If it is dragged on, no one will be able to keep it.

It's just that, there are really no cards in Google Singer that can be turned over. "With only two people, Suleiman expressed his true opinion very directly.

"We and Google were originally in a semi-cooperative relationship, and the agreement will expire in a few years. Maybe it is a good thing for Google to exchange a sum of money for us." Hathabis would still consider Google subconsciously. Happening.

"I thought so at the beginning, but after the news that Zhang Shuxin met with you two days ago spread, everyone was speculating that Zhang Shuxin wanted to redeem us from Google. As a result, this incident caused the downward trend to slow down slightly. Google plummeted for another two days.

At this time, Google is facing a crisis in three aspects of word-of-mouth capital technology.

This also further shows that Google has no hope at this time. "Suleiman's serious Google can already be sentenced to death.

"So you mean to promise Zhang Shuxin?" Hathabis asked clearly.

"I can't say that agreeing to Zhang Shuxin is the right choice, but staying at Google is definitely not a good choice.

And Zhang Shuxin's courage is indeed beyond my imagination. Those American companies obviously have to tweak a lot, and they will not be so firm. "

"Then do you think Zhang Shuxin is reliable? After all, she has left Yinghaiwei."

"Although Zhang Shuxin came out to start a new business, as the founder of Yinghaiwei, her resources are impossible to lose, especially..." Suleiman glanced at Hathabis subconsciously, "She talked to Meng Qian. line."

Hathabis's tight body slowly relaxed, "Is the meeting between Zhang Shuxin and I made a big fuss by the media?"

"Well, it was really hyped the past two days, but today it was suppressed by another meeting."

Hathabis couldn't help being curious, "Who met with whom?"

Sulaiman smiled, "Sun Xiaojing of Dafeng Group, and Cook of Apple."

Hathabis was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously picked up the phone and wanted to eat melons. Who doesn't like eating melons so happy.

...

The night before, Cook was in France to promote Apple's new products, and he went to a charity dinner initiated by French entrepreneurs about the work of the late Notre Dame de Paris fire.

At the charity dinner, Cook met Sun Xiaojing who also came to attend.

Sun Xiaojing invited Cook for two drinks after the dinner on the spot. Cook was in a mixed mood, but still agreed.

"Recently, the pressure on Mr. Cook by the board of directors should not be small." Sun Xiaojing ordered Cook for a cup of Worry.

Cook considered the words, and responded indifferently, "The board of directors understands everything."

Sun Xiaojing smiled lightly, her expression even a little dazed, "Do you miss Jobs?"

Cook who tried to be extremely calm still leaked a short expression change, "I believe many people will miss him."

"Just like those capitals that recently left you." Sun Xiaojing's expression returned to normal.

Cook did not answer, and Sun Xiaojing continued, "I believe you are very clear in your heart that the situation between Apple and Google is not the same. Eric, Page, Brin, no one is Google or soul, but Apple has its own The soul of Steve Jobs, this soul is Jobs. The reason why these capitals have abandoned Apple so indifferently recently is because you are Cook and because you are not Jobs."

The corner of Cook's eyes twitched, "Like Meng Qian of Dafeng Group."

"When I was doing personnel management, I often emphasized one thing to the staff of the company. Everyone must be clear about his own position, and he must be clear about what he is suitable for and what he should do. Only in this way, it will affect you and It is the most efficient for enterprises.

No matter who I talk about you, I always think that you are a very rare marketing genius in this era, but your talent is limited to this, and things other than marketing are not your strengths.

If you want to maximize your talents, you need a good product. "

Cook shrugged, "Maybe marketing a good product better reflects the talent in your mouth?"

"Mr. Cook doesn’t have to use this kind of salesmanship to deceive himself. Take the tiger to the top of the mountain. You can become the king with the tiger. You can take the cat to the top of the mountain. You have indeed proved your flying ability, but the cat can take it. What will I give you?

Take you to catch a mouse?

Is your life just to prove that you can fly? If this was really the case, how could you take the job of Apple CEO back then? You can fly in IBM too.

Of course, maybe Apple has killed your ambitions over the years, then I can only say a pity.

But if you still have the original ambitions, our Dafeng Group can provide you with a better stage.

We are now recruiting a person in charge of the international supply chain. I believe you know very well what kind of pressure our Dafeng Group has encountered. If you want to prove yourself, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, it is difficult for other companies to have our strong wind. Products like the group have the same treatment as they do now. "

"Miss Sun is as confident as everyone has said, but I don't think I need to make this choice now."

"If Mr. Cook's loyalty at this moment is true, then I am afraid it is a sorrow." Sun Xiaojing said bluntly, "After all, I can see things clearly, and Apple shareholders can naturally see them. Apple needs at this time. It's not a marketing genius, just like what Apple needed at the time is not an unruly Jobs and a group of unruly start-ups, even if he is the soul.

No matter how posterity ridiculed Scully at the time it was a stupid thing to drive Jobs away, but in the context of the time, Scully did something beneficial to the group.

In today's general background, I believe that Apple shareholders will also make a choice that is most advantageous at the moment.

That’s why I asked Mr. Cook, Apple’s board of directors should have given you a lot of pressure recently. "

Only then did Cook understand that Sun Xiaojing's first sentence did not mean that Apple's board of directors put pressure on Cook to change Apple's fatigue at this time, but that Apple's board of directors was preparing to let Cook go.

In fact, the reality is also true.

Cook looked at Sun Xiaojing’s expression began to change, “I believe that the board of directors will of course consider Apple’s interests, and as Apple’s CEO, I will also consider Apple’s interests, just like Miss Sun will stand in the interests of Dafeng Group. It’s the same to consider the problem."

Sun Xiaojing smiled and shook her head, "It's considered to have dealt with, Mr. Cook still doesn't know enough about our Dafeng Group.

Altruism is written into our corporate culture ~www.NovelMTL.com~ We enjoy the feeling of accomplishing others and being rewarded for their achievements.

Mr. Cook is worthy of Jobs and Apple these years, but he is the only one who is sorry for himself.

We are now giving each other a chance, but for Mr. Cook, there is only one such opportunity in his life, and for me, such an opportunity will not be at least once. "

Sun Xiao, who has captured Cook's emotional changes, has become more and more static.

"This is an unexpected night." Cook has shaken, but he can't make a decision at this moment.

"I can give you time to think about it." Sun Xiaojing directly carried the bag and made preparations to leave, "Oh yes, the position we recruited this time is a very important position. We don't want people in this position to be a job in the future. Hesitating guy, so, Mr. Cook, please give me an answer within this month."

A strong sense of oppression suddenly appeared on Sun Xiaojing's body. Cook looked at Sun Xiaojing at this time, and his heart had never been so entangled.
