Chapter 129 Applying for policy protection

"Okay, of course I know about this powerful relationship. We haven't reached that point yet!" Cook said coldly. He is not a fool and cannot mess up at this time. Although Apple is now at a disadvantage when competing with the Xingchen mobile system. But it has not caused serious damage to the vitality. As long as it has not caused serious damage to the vitality, there is no need to take the last step and bow to the Xingchen mobile phone system and install its mobile phone system.

Now Apple can only be said to be retreating step by step in sales channels, with sales declining every moment. It hasn't dropped to freezing point yet. Only when the temperature drops to freezing point is the vitality severely damaged.

"President, are you saying that you still have a trump card?" Andrew's eyes lit up.

"I don't know if it's possible. Anyway, we will never let our iPhones be equipped with the Xingchen mobile system when we are not seriously injured. Unless we are really helpless, let's take another step." Ku Ke said calmly. He will not follow Ruokiya's old path, if he really loses to Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. by then. Then try to keep Apple. It would also be good to lose its mobile phone dominance and become a first-tier mobile phone manufacturer. At least there is still a lot of money to be made! It will not lead to bankruptcy.

That afternoon, Cook held a secret meeting with the board of directors.

This meeting was the plan in his mind, and the success or failure of this plan depended on this.

"Mr. Chairman, I plan to apply to the government for a Zhengce protection plan. Cook proposed this idea to a dozen directors.

"Propose protection to the government? Do we need to go to this step now?" The chairman frowned. He knows very well what Zhengce protection is. It is already very serious.

"Yes, Mr. Chairman, the current situation of our company is not optimistic, and we can only take this step. Otherwise, we will not be able to stop the strength of Xingchen Mobile System at all. We can only shut it out, and we will have a chance to make a comeback. If you want to completely eliminate the Xingchen mobile phone system from outside, the only way is to apply for official protection from the government," Cook said solemnly.

"Okay." The chairman could only nod helplessly after discussing with the director. They also know that this is the only way for now, and this is the only way.

"I hope this time we can successfully stop the encroachment of the Xingchen mobile phone system. If we still can't succeed, we will finally have to consider allowing our iPhones to be equipped with the Xingchen mobile phone system." The chairman sighed.

"Yes! Not only do we need to apply for positive protection at home, but we also need to apply in Europe to see if we can succeed."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you."

In fact, this kind of positive protection is quite effective, and the effect is very obvious. This will directly prevent your product from appearing on the market.

For example, there is no Facebook in the Chinese market, such as Google search, etc.

This is a kind of positive protection, which directly prevents your products from appearing in my market. This is a kind of strategic protection to protect domestic companies from competition from large foreign companies.

You are also prohibited from coming in to make money or anything like that.

This is a more thorough approach.

But the effect is very good!

Although Facebook, Google Search and other products clearly explain that this does not meet the requirements, what losses will be caused and other reasons. In fact, these are all superficial.

In the final analysis, it’s all about protection!

For example, take Google Search, China has Baidu and other search companies. Since there is such a good company in our country, why does Mao want to help you come in and make money? I might as well just shut you out!

This is also a form of positive protection.

…………

After getting the nod from the board of directors, Cook visited Mr. Charles, the head of the relevant department, the next day.

A certain government building.

In the office.

"Mr. Cook, your company plans to apply for protection from us?" Charles was very surprised after hearing what Cook said. He didn't expect that the Apple boss would apply for official protection from them!

"Yes, the Xingchen mobile phone system poses too great a threat to our company. We can only take this path now." Cook said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Cook, Zhengce protection is not something you can just apply for. There are too many things involved. We don't dare to make such a decision easily." Charles said calmly.

"I know this, and I am willing to pay the price I should pay!" Cook said solemnly. If they want others to do things, their company actually needs to pay a certain price. How can someone help you for free if you don't recognize them?

"Are you sure?" Charles suddenly smiled.

He knows that Apple is a super company with a current market value of up to 600 billion US dollars! Such a company is indeed worthy of their protection. Now that the other party has promised to pay a certain price, why not agree to it? Besides, they don’t want to see Apple decline, since the tax revenue Apple gives them every year is an astronomical figure.

Not to mention that people are now willing to share the cake with you.

"I'm very sure, but I have another request, which is whether we can also apply for positive policy protection in the European mobile phone market. I hope you can help us ventilate there." Cook continued.

"Well, let me take a look at this. But I need to report this matter now, and I will not know the result until we have a meeting with people from other departments to discuss it." Charles said.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!"

A week later, Cook received a clear reply, that is, the government is willing to provide Apple with legitimate protection. Of course, only Apple and the government know the price.

At the same time, in Europe, there are also many mobile phone markets in many regions that accept the olive branch thrown by Apple and fully support Apple. Willing to provide legitimate protection for Apple.

After receiving this promise, Cook instantly gained confidence in himself!

He immediately began to hold high-level meetings, intending to suppress the Star Mobile System with all his strength and give it a fatal blow!

Everything began to proceed quietly.

Three days later, news media and others began to report one after another: Since the Star Mobile System did not pass Apple's consent, Apple phones can be equipped with the Star Mobile System, which seriously damaged Apple's interests. At the same time, the Star Mobile System did not meet the regulations and requirements of the relevant departments. Now the relevant departments have decided to refuse to allow the Star Mobile System to flow into the local market!

The American Communications Company issued an announcement: No matter what mobile phone, as long as you are equipped with the Star Mobile System, you will not be able to communicate normally on the Internet from tomorrow. In other words, if your mobile phone is equipped with the Star Mobile System. You will not be able to make calls or access the Internet... unless you flash back to the Apple system or Android system...
