Chapter 212

In July 2018, China's long-established domestic mobile phone giant Jinli was wholly acquired by Fengteng Investment, and a new Longteng Group was reorganized.

In December of the same year, Longteng announced the launch of the new Nirvana

After all calculations, Longteng Group held only 4 press conferences in total.

It was precisely these four times that overturned the foundation laid by APPLE and even mobile phone manufacturers around the world for decades and nearly a century.

Even with the development of APPLE, it has become the most famous supplier of electronic technology products in the world, from mobile phones to computers, laptops, music players, tablets and so on.

The mobile phone business has always accounted for APPLE's largest revenue. The core of the mobile phone business is the Greater China region. However, in less than a year, APPLE lost 50% of the market.

Since Longteng Group held a press conference on Pangu-Smartphone Manager, APPLE’s stock has fallen again and again, and its market value hasMake hundreds of billions.

Now less than two days after the pre-sale of Nirvana S started, the stock price has plunged again, and the market value has once again evaporated by more than 10 billion US dollars. If this trend continues, sooner or later it will go bankrupt.

"oshit!"

Looking at the documents in front of him, APPLE CEO Cook became more and more anxious and couldn't help shouting angrily.

If the influence of Longteng Group is not resolved, he, the CEO, will become the most incompetent executive in the history of APPLE, and may even become history..

After thinking for a while, Cook took out his mobile phone from his mouth and dialed the number of Four Star President Li Jianxi.

"Hey! Cook, why are you free to call me today?"

As soon as the call was connected, a slightly weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Jianxi, the president of Four Stars, made his voice in 1965, and it has been 55 years now.

During his time in charge of Four Stars, he transformed Four Stars from It took a lot of hard work to transform a low-quality mass manufacturer into Asia's most valuable technology company, so it is inevitable that you are now a little frail.

"President Li, I am calling you this time to ask your company to terminate the cooperation with Longteng Group. We are willing to accept orders from Longteng. Cook said with a gloomy face.

Whether it is a mobile phone or a tablet computer, there is a core element inside, and that is the chip. Generally speaking, the chip is an integrated circuit that is manufactured on the surface of a semiconductor wafer in a miniaturized way.

Although Longteng Group It is a self-developed mobile phone chip. They do not produce the raw materials for the chip - semiconductor wafers, but purchase them directly from the outside world.

Judging from current global data, Four Star ranks global wafer production capacity with a market share of 22%. First.

Therefore, Longteng Group’s chip raw materials are also purchased from Four Star.

If the chip raw materials can be cut off, it can at least delay the popularity of Nirvana S in the market. After APPLE’s new mobile phone is launched, the situation will be better.

"Does Mr. Cook think our company looks like a fool?"

Without any unnecessary words, Four Star President Li Jianxi hung up the phone directly after hearing Cook's request. Are you kidding me? Cutting off cooperation with Longteng Group is not causing trouble for yourself. Not to mention that Four Star Group is still You need to rely on Longteng for support.

Even if you don't rely on Longteng, the annual purchase orders from the wafer factory are enough to make Four Star reject APPLE.

"Toot toot--"

At this time, there was a cell phone notification sound in the office, and Cook's face turned from black to red, then to purple, and finally to a mix of bruises and bruises.

"Come on, book your flight tickets to Jinling City in China immediately."

Within a few minutes, Cook directly ordered his secretary.

Now that the plan to stop the Longteng Group has been shattered, the only possibility to reduce the losses is to reach a cooperation with the Longteng Group to install a smartphone butler and use silicon crystal batteries to improve the original quality of the mobile phone..........

At 9 a.m. the next day, Jinling International Airport.

Penguin News Media reporter Zhang Jie is waiting for the arrival of his girlfriend. His professional eyes are constantly scanning the surroundings, as if he is looking for news hot spots.

"Um?"

Just at this time, a foreign face appeared in front of him, and he was stunned.

Cook?

The CEO of APPLE mobile phone company actually appeared here?

"Click, click!"

In an instant, Zhang Jie seemed to have remembered something. He quickly took out his mobile phone and took pictures of Cook.

Recently, there have been no large-scale technology seminars or forums in the entire Jiangsu Province. At this time, the CEO of APPLE appeared in Jinling is really incredible.

You know, Longteng Group just held a new product launch conference a few days ago. If Cook’s appearance in Jinling has nothing to do with this incident, I am afraid no one will believe it.

Such a big news hot spot, Zhang Jie It was definitely impossible to let it go.

At 10 a.m. that day, Penguin News headlines immediately featured the news that APPLE’s president had appeared in Jinling, which immediately attracted a lot of media attention.
