Chapter 82

Cook also did not expect that March ant company's attitude is so tough, today is the third time to be rejected, and are so straightforward. There has never been a day like this. Even if not, I can only bear it at this time. Otherwise, if we don't talk about acquisition, I'm afraid cooperation will become a problem.

This road is blocked. We can only find other paths.

"Ms. Zhao, may I have a talk with your chairman?" Cook broke the deadlock in the reception room.

Zhao Min smiled and looked at Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu immediately called chenmo and said, "chenmo, Mr. cook wants to see you."

"Good."

After Xiaoyu hung up the phone, the reception room fell into silence again. Before long, Chen Mo pushed open the door of the reception room and came in.

"Mr. cook, this is our chairman, Chen mo."

When he saw Chen Mo, cook's eyes were surprised. So young, too young. Stupefied for a few seconds, after waking up, cook stood up and shook hands with Chen Mo and simply said hello.

Cook didn't speak until Chen Mo sat down on the sofa: "Mr. Chen Mo, I'm here to buy your company. Before we come here, we asked brand finance to make a value assessment of your company, which is 13 billion dollars. In my opinion, this valuation is low, so we offer a price of $15 billion to buy 100% of your company. "

"Sorry, the company doesn't sell it." Before Zhao Min could translate for him, Chen Mo began. His spoken English is poor, but cook can understand.

Chen Muru is as straightforward as here, which is expected by Zhao min. After translating Chen Mo's words, Zhao Min saw cook's face was ugly.

When Zhao Min refused, he was a little polite. Now Chen Mo opens his mouth, just a few words, and refuses directly, almost when he has just finished, he doesn't want to.

That's $15 billion, not $150. Chen simply made cook think he was wrong. But when it was confirmed, cook was in a bad mood.

Today is the most rejected day for him. US $15 billion, almost more than 90 billion of China's, is already a terrible figure.

"Mr. Chen Mo, it's 15 billion dollars." Cook stressed.

"I know, not for sale." Chen Mo said.

This time cook was sure what he had just heard was right.

"Since Chen doesn't want to sell the company, let's change the way of cooperation." Cook immediately found a step down, otherwise it would be impossible to talk.

"You said." Chen Mo said with a smile.

And Zhao Min, the president, also turned into a translator for the two.

"Can you raise money? We can finance your company. $8 billion, 51%. "

"Our company is not short of money. Mr. cook would like to talk about other ways of cooperation. The shares of the company are not sold." Chen Mo said.

Cook was silent. Just now he saw that Chen Mo's tone and appearance were firm. It seems that the way to control the March ant company is impossible.

"Then I say cooperation." "I hope the smart assistant will launch IOS," Cook said

"It's not that I don't want to launch IOS, but I can't. We must have the core source code and architecture of the operating system, according to the code and architecture design, to launch. Without these, it can not run, or will be restricted by the mobile phone system as unknown software. Mr. cook, will you open the IOS source code to our company? "

It's a problem that has baffled cook completely.

Open source to marching ants means Apple is completely bow to marching ants, which is absolutely not allowed to happen. According to Chen Mo, without developing the source code, the intelligent assistant will not work.

What to do?

A huge question mark appeared in Cook's mind, and the light in the bottom of his eyes was flashing.

There was a dead silence in the reception room and several people were waiting for cook's answer. After a long time, cook looked up: "Chen, we can open source code, but there is a condition."

"You said."

"We both open source code, we open IOS source code to your company, you open smart assistant source code to us, so we can cooperate fairly." Cook said.

"Impossible." Chen Mo doesn't want to, but refuses.

The source code of the smart assistant is only known by them and the above. None of the other domestic companies, let alone foreign ones, can get it.

Besides, he is not interested in IOS system source code. The marching ant system is better than Apple system in any aspect.

"Chen, you refuse every cooperation. We can't continue like this." Cook said with a calm face.

"It's not that we have to cooperate, we just develop software, and the source code can't be opened to you. We also want to release IOS, but we don't have IOS system architecture, smart assistant can't control the mobile phone system, and the role of smart assistant can't be played.

The only way to develop IOS is for you to open the source code of IOS to our company. If this condition can't be met, Mr. cook will return empty handed this time. "Chen Mo finished, picked up Xiaoyu's tea and sipped it, waiting quietly.

Cook's eyes were flashing and his face was not very good. Chen Mo's requirement is too big. Even he can't open IOS source code to Chen mo.

To bow to a company that has just been established for half a year is not a general blow to apple. And the source code of IOS is related to the deeper security issues.

It is impossible for them to hand over such important things to a Chinese company unilaterally, and the board of directors will not allow him to do so.

"Mr. Chen, there is no other way?" Cook said.

"Mr. cook, the security of your IOS system is so good that we can't bypass the mobile phone system and control the mobile phone. Besides, your company has Siri, which doesn't need our butterfly so much. "

After thinking for a long time, cook stood up with a sigh: "Chen, I need to consider your proposal."

"Well, would Mr. cook like to visit the company?"

"No, I'll go back first and look forward to our next meeting." Cook reached out and shook Chen mo.

"Zhao Min, go and see Mr. cook off." Chen Mo smiles at Zhao min.

"OK."

Zhao Min smiled and nodded, leading cook out of the company's reception room. Before long, the group left the March ant company under the leadership of the staff.

Just walked to the door of the company, the reporter guarding the door of the company, took a wild picture.

Cook's entry into the March ant company has spread in the press circle.

The reporters who left the company came back again, and more than 40 reporters were waiting outside the company's office building for cook to come out.

"Mr. Zhao, what kind of cooperation have you reached this time?"

"Mr. cook, what kind of cooperation do you have with marching ant company?"

"President Zhao..."

A group of reporters gathered around and began to ask questions crazily.

Cook went to the door and turned to look around at the reporters with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, friends from the press. I'm very glad to be invited to March ant company to discuss cooperation with them. I had a very pleasant exchange with them. March ant is a very promising enterprise. In the future, our two families will have more cooperation opportunities. "

With that to the reporter, cook enters the car. When the door was closed, cook's smile immediately subsided and his face became bad. In the eyes of many reporters, the dust is gone.
