Supreme Super Brain System Technology

Mr. Cook, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you! Lei Lu looked a little helpless and lost his composure.

Oh? Is Universe Technology so greedy? Doesn't it agree with our bid? Cook was stunned and asked with a frown.

Cook didn't think about Universe Technology's refusal to trade, he just thought that Universe Technology disliked the low price. This also made Cook curse greed in his heart. Five years of royalties and US$5 billion are not enough?

He has understood that even if the Tai Chi voice assistant adopts the same method as the Android system to charge iOS devices, it may be more than 5 billion in five years, but not much more.

What's more, without Apple's open system permissions, Taichi Voice Assistant cannot achieve the same experience as on Android. As a result, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to pay to use it.

Moreover, the US$5 billion was already obtained by Cook under great pressure and tried his best to persuade the board of directors to approve it. No more would be possible.

No, Mr. Cook, it's not about the price, but the chairman of Universe Technology doesn't agree with such a deal at all. Lei Lu shook his head and denied it, his expression even more helpless.

Disagree? How could you disagree? Cook jumped up from his seat and exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Don’t even want to send money?

Cook really couldn't understand it and was full of doubts.

Without Apple's lead in facilitating this deal, would Universe Technology really have to give up developing the iOS version completely?

Or, develop a neutered version? But will anyone really be willing to pay for it? The reason why people buy Android devices is because of the unique, even advanced and sci-fi features!

However, Cook and the engineers at the institute have discussed that due to the inherent closed-loop limitations of the iOS system, most of those functions cannot be implemented on iOS.

Cook pondered for a while, and when Lei Lu saw this, he did not disturb him.

After a while!

Did the chairman of Universe Technology give any reason? What exactly did he think? After calming down, Cook couldn't help but ask.

He was really curious about what the mysterious genius chairman of Universe Technology thought!

Mr. Cook, actually I just wanted to say this. The chairman of Universe Technology has changed the content of our transaction. He is willing to sell the source program with interfaces for 2 billion instead of the source code! Lei Lu said to Liu Haoyu. Thoughts spoken.

Source program! Cook's face became uncertain after hearing this transaction.

Such transaction content is somewhat inconsistent with his original intention. Owning the source code is equivalent to owning this technology and being able to integrate it into his own voice system.

And if it is a source program, Lei Lu just said that what they sell is a source program with interfaces, so the inside must be encrypted. After this period of practice, Cook does not believe that his people can crack it. Yes.

In this way, it is equivalent to completely abandoning the own voice system and switching to Universe Technology's. Moreover, subsequent updates will also need to rely on others. This is also equivalent to placing the voice assistant of one's own system on someone else.

However, Universe Technology’s voice assistant is really important to Apple. Although it is currently affecting only the Chinese market, if it waits until Universe Technology’s voice assistant spreads all over the world, the impact will be too great.

Cook was a little hesitant. Even if Universe Technology changed the transaction content, he could not give up the deal easily. He needed to think.

Lei Lu, I need to think about this matter, and the board of directors also needs to discuss it. It will take me some time to restore you! Cook said to Lei Lu.

I understand, Mr. Cook, then I'll be waiting for your news! Lei Lu nodded, as expected.

Even if Cook has no objection to such a transaction, it still needs the approval of the board of directors. After all, it is not a trivial matter. This is the result of the dispersed ownership of listed companies.

If it is placed in the universe technology, everything is decided by Liu Haoyu. Even Zhang Lei can only execute it no matter how he doesn't understand.

After the video call ended, Cook did not go to the board of directors immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while. He was thinking about the pros and cons of this deal, and at the same time, he was also considering whether he could accept such a deal.

Cook's idea is that only if he agrees, will he go to the board of directors and convince them. If he doesn't agree, the board of directors will directly say that the transaction has failed.

At the same time, after receiving news that Universe Technology had agreed to negotiate, Microsoft and Google also successively began to arrange people for talks.

These technology giants also compete with each other. Microsoft and Google originally had no idea of ​​​​talking to Universe Technology, because they got the news and knew that Apple had sent people to talk to Universe Technology.

Although I don’t know what Apple’s purpose is, this does not affect the idea that both companies want to get involved, get a share of the pie, and gain profits.

So, it was a coincidence that just as Apple's negotiators left, Microsoft and Google called Universe Technology one after another.

Although Apple's visit to Universe Technology Company was secretive, since even its two old enemies, Microsoft and Google, knew about it, they naturally couldn't hide it from some media.

This is also because large companies receive too much attention for the first time, and every move they make will arouse the attention of interested people.

As a result, there were some more news related to space technology on the evening news:

Apple executives secretly visited Universe Technology. What kind of deal is involved? 》

Secret talks between Apple executives and Universe Technology, the purpose is self-evident! 》

Some media directly stated the guess results and put them in the headline:

Is Apple's top executives secretly visiting Universe Technology for the Tai Chi voice assistant? 》

Good news for Apple users, the iOS version of Taichi voice assistant is coming? 》

…

Nima, are these reports credible? I am a Xiaomi user and I passed by... This is a comment made by a Xiaomi user.

The expectations are real, and we have been waiting for a long time, but didn't the chairman of Universe Technology just say at the press conference that he would not develop an iOS version? This commenter is obviously an Apple user.

I don't know what the person above said. It's because the chairman of Universe Technology said he wouldn't develop an iOS version, so Apple got anxious and came to the door! This person said in a logical manner.

What Lou Lou said makes sense. Suddenly, I feel that our technology companies in Greater China are so corrupt! This person commented and went upstairs.

No matter what, I still hope that the iOS version will be released soon, and I have been waiting silently.

Apple, I'll leave it at that. If there is no Tai Chi voice assistant for iOS, I won't buy your next-generation mobile phone! As a result, this Apple quickly attracted many likes and comments from netizens.

Agree upstairs!

I agree, I won't buy it if it doesn't show up again!

…

Regarding these reports, netizens commented enthusiastically, especially some Apple users, who were almost heartbroken with excitement!

Is the long-awaited iOS version coming?

This is the expectation of some fruit fans.

There are also some people who have said that without the iOS version of Tai Chi voice assistant, their relationship with the next generation of Apple phones will be over.

Now, after seeing these comments and reports, the depressed Lei Lu quickly reported it to Cook at the headquarters.

Lei Lu's report caused Cook to curse again, and he almost fainted in the toilet from crying. Now Apple is under great pressure, and it is really difficult to get off the horse!
