Chapter 198: Apple's situation

"What's going on?" Liu Fan motioned Xu Jing to sit down and said.
Xu Jing sat down and placed the tablet in front of Liu Fan. "According to the latest news, Apple is likely to change hands."
Hearing the words Yizhu, Liu Fan's heart was inexplicable. He quickly glanced at the report. From the report, it can be seen that the stock price of Apple has been falling and falling recently, and it is obvious that some people have been short. But at the same time, funds have been buying Apple shares from the secondary market.
In addition, some of Apple's shareholders have sold their shares, and now Apple is undergoing a vicious acquisition, and from the current situation, this vicious acquisition is likely to succeed.
From the perspective of the funds and shareholders' transactions that can be heard on the surface, the acquirer has already acquired at least 25% of Apple's shares. It is difficult to estimate how many transactions are private.
"Is it found out which company is buying Apple?" Liu Fan asked without seeing the report.
"There is no accurate news, but it seems ... not a technology company."
"Huh?" Liu Fan showed a puzzled expression.
"It seems to be a capital group." Xu Jing said uncertainly.
"If it wasn't for a technology company, what was the reason for acquiring a failed Apple?" Liu Fanban asked to himself, for a moment he didn't quite understand.
"No one knows this, nor does it reveal that the news is wrong, but at least Apple is facing the acquisition. It should be certain."
No more news, and Liu Fan did not continue to confuse who the acquirer was. "How did Apple react?"
"Of course, Apple doesn't want to change hands. Cook has been moving around a lot recently. It should be to stabilize shareholders. But the situation in Apple's secondary market is very bad. The biggest problem now is that even if Apple doesn't let go The autonomy has been preserved, but the other party will directly let you Apple through the secondary market. "
"This is forcing Apple. Either sell the company or take advantage of your current failure to directly strip you to the bones that are unable to return to the sky. This acquisition is really fierce." Liu Fan knocked After knocking on the table, I fell into a long thought.
"Mr. Liu, what do you want to do?" Xu Jing couldn't help asking after looking at Liu Fan for a long time.
"I haven't figured it out yet, wait."
Three days later, Apple suddenly appeared in major media, but the titles were similar to:
"Apple steals user privacy real hammer, the Justice Department has been involved in the investigation"
"Apple has violated a large number of patent laws and will be sued by more than a dozen companies such as Qualcomm and Microsoft"
"Apple's share price plummets, Moody's downgrades Apple again"
"Apple executives are caught in the door incident, and Apple's internal chaotic employee relations are exposed"
"Apple Is Under Investigation For Illegal Monopoly"
"Apple headsets are exposed again to cause cancer, a large number of users will be checked"
"Apple Cars Decline, Users Say Apple Exaggerates Technology"
"Apple's First Self-Driving Accident, Three People Injured in the Car"
"Apple defaulted on a number of foundry factories, the final payment was exploded, and squeezed the interests of foundry factories all year round"
....
Massive news is overwhelming, but the direction is the same, that is to push Apple into the abyss.
"Being able to control public opinion, it seems that the black hand behind the scenes this time is indeed not simple." Liu Fan sighed while watching the news.
"This is the law of survival." Xu Jing said calmly.
Fan Fan looked up at Xu Jing and teased, "Sister Xu Jing, you have become more and more rational in the past two years."
Xu Jing pretended to be helpless. "What can I do if I meet such a sensitive boss? It's not all driven by you."
Liu Fan smiled, but his expression immediately closed up. "Sister Xu Jing, can you help me to do something and ask Cook if he is interested in meeting each other, but this matter tries to keep everything secret."
"Okay, I know." Xu Jing nodded affirmatively, and would not throw any trouble or worry on Liu Fan.
This is one of the main reasons Liu Fan likes Xu Jing. You can rest assured when you leave things to her.
The next night, a tightly wrapped man came to Liu Fan's home. When he takes off, everyone can recognize that here is Apple CEO Mr. Cook.
At this time, Cook was very embarrassed, his body lost several circles and his face was very poor.
"Mr. Cook, we finally met." Liu Fan approached and smiled.
Cook shook hands with Liu Fan a little uncomfortably. "I didn't expect we would meet this way."
Liu Fan didn't say much, let Cook sit on the table and let the housekeeper serve. "It's been a hard trip. Try our Chinese food."
"There is Mr. Lau."
The two sat down and chatted together for a while. They waited until Liu Fan felt that Cook was more comfortable. Then he asked, "How is the company?"
Cook's hand was obviously a meal ~ EbookFREE.me ~ trying to squeeze out a smile, "Mr. Liu should know where we are now."
"Do you hate me?" Liu Fan asked directly without turning.
Cook shook his head. "This is a natural law. I have no reason to hate Mr. Liu."
The two fell into silence at the same time. At this time, the housekeeper brought up the Yanjing roast duck. Liu Fan personally helped Cook and roll it to Cook. After the latter took it, he said, "Actually, I have n’t been Fruit powder, but I do always like the spirit of Apple and admire the greatness of Steve Jobs. It is not easy to be persistent and create a legend in that era. "
Cook took a bite and waited until he swallowed. "Mr. Liu, what is your goal?"
"As I often say in front of press conferences and the media, I hope technology can change the era, and it is an era of true inclusiveness, so that everyone can benefit from the development and change of technology. At the same time, I am also very Looking forward to exploring the complex animal of human beings through the development of artificial intelligence. "
"Then you respect technology?" Cook suddenly looked at Liu Fan seriously.
Liu Fan understood what he meant, with the same serious face, "I respect technology, respect nature, and respect people more."
"If one day you have an absolute monopoly, how will you be on your own?"
"I don't think there is an absolute monopoly in this era without any restrictions and fetters. Even if there is one day, I believe in myself."
Cook stared at Liu Fan with deep eyes, almost bet on all his life experience and ability to see people, and finally opened his mouth after a long time, "Mr. Liu, can I come to you for help?"
Fan Fan's body sat up subconsciously. What he was waiting for was Cook's active opening ...
