Chapter 1376 Cook comes to China!

Cook is coming to China!

This news spread like wildfire on the Internet and instantly attracted the attention of countless technology enthusiasts!

In September, when a huge Boeing 787 passenger plane roared towards the runway of Yanjing International Airport, thousands of Apple fans and media reporters also rushed to the airport!

It has to be said that although half a month ago, Huawei and Xiaomi made efforts to release a fantastic super mobile phone, which caused an uproar in the technology industry, their background is still far from that of companies like Fruit. This can be seen from the huge impact caused by Cook's visit to China. At the exit of the airport, not only are there large Apple fans, but also many authoritative technology media reporters, and even CCTV reporters are here!

The cabin opened, Cook and his entourage walked off the plane and walked out along the VIP VIP channel provided by the airport. As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by a large crowd!

"Hello, Mr. Cook, I am a reporter from Tengxun Technology Channel. Welcome to China. Can you tell me the reason for your visit to China this time?"

"Mr. Cook, I am Honglang Meibo reporter Su Xiang. It is rumored that your main purpose of coming to China this time is to make super battery technology. Is this true?"

"Mr. Cook, Fruit Company released its worst financial report this year, and sales in China have declined for the first time. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"Mr. Cook, it is rumored that Fruit Company will reach a strategic cooperation with Leshen Technology to launch a super mobile phone based on super battery technology. Is this rumor true?"

"Mr. Cook, I am..."

...

The VIP channel at the airport was betted, and a large number of journalists followed Cook closely, constantly throwing one problem after another at Cook, and many Apple fans who came here also crazily raised their phones to take photos. For these Apple fans, it is definitely a happy thing to be able to see the EO of the Fruit Company with their own eyes.

It is true that the fantastic "Super Xiaomi" mobile phone released by Xiaomi and the mobile phone that Huawei has not yet been launched but has attracted global attention are undoubtedly a newcomer in the technology industry at this moment. However, one of these two mobile phones has not been officially launched yet, and the other has only put about 4 million units into the market. The shipment of 4 million mobile phones may be a lot for a technology company, but it is really nothing for the huge Chinese market. Although the functions of Super Xiaomi are so amazing on the Internet, a large number of review videos and articles are overwhelming, it is useless to not buy them. In contrast, the huge market cultivated by Fruit Company in China after more than ten years of use is still not underestimated. This can be seen from the fact that nearly 5 million units were sold during Fruit 7 Huaxia!

Cook maintained an absolute demeanor on his face, constantly smiling and greeting the crowd on both sides. Faced with the reporter's "surveillance and interception", he did not show any impatient expression. As a leader of a world-leading technology company, Cook has already developed a skill in dealing with the media. He can even take time to help the Apple fans who handed the pen and notebook to him, and also took a photo with a young and cute girl.

It can be said that Cook's performance in front of the media and Apple fans is perfect. However, if there is a careful person, he can still see the anxiety deep in his eyes, which cannot be concealed.

Twenty minutes later, Cook and his accompanying fruit company executives finally passed the VIP channel and boarded the special car sent by Fruit Greater China to pick up the plane.

The car was driving steadily on the airport highway. Cook rolled down the window and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window with interest. He took a breath of the air outside the window, and there was a refreshing feeling in the clearness, which made him think of his villa in the Nordic primeval forest.

"The air in Yanjing is really good. I heard that these are the effects of the system developed by Leshen Group?" Cook stared out the window for a moment and asked casually.

"Yes, Mr. Cook, Yanjing was the first city to use the Jingling No. 1 system of Leshen Group. The air quality here is very good now, and it can be maintained at a high-quality level 24 hours a day." The person in charge of receiving Cook was Meng Xuelin, president of Fruit Company Greater China. This woman who was just transferred to this important position in the new round of personnel adjustments of Fruit Company has burgundy wavy curly hair. Her age in her thirties makes her look full of the charm of a mature woman and the charm of a girl. In addition, the demeanor of being in the top position for a long time is definitely a goddess-level beauty. However, such a beauty in a man's dream is a deaf ear decoration for Cook. The whole world knows Cook's "hobby". Even if Meng Xuelin is as beautiful as a fairy, Cook will not have any inappropriate thoughts about her.

Meng Xuelin speaks fluent Mi English. If she doesn't read her, she can't hear that this is from a Chinese. Meng Xuelin's ability to reach this position today is not only because of her beauty, but more importantly because of her strength. She has a double doctorate degree from MIT in the United States and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Although she is just 35 years old this year, she has already had the experience of becoming an executive in at least six Fortune 500 companies in the world. Therefore, a person's success is of course unlucky.

However, now, like Cook, she has an unconcealed anxiety in her eyes.

She knew in her heart what the purpose of Cook's trip to China was. Although the information disclosed to the outside world was to inspect the market situation in Greater China, the real purpose of this fruit company *oss to China was basically consistent with the outside world's speculation, and it was simply for the super battery that emerged from China!

This year's mid-year financial report shows that fruit companies' sales in China continue to decline, down 26% compared with the same period last year, which is a considerable proportion. You should know that China is now one of the most important global markets for fruits. The sales of fruit mobile phones in China are even more than six times that in the United States! If there is a problem with such a huge market, how can fruit companies sit still?

Of course, this is not the more serious thing. You should know that Fruit Company's mid-year financial report was made when Xiaomi and Huawei did not launch a new mobile phone! Now, under the joint attack of the "super mobile phones" of these two companies, Fruit 7 has already suffered an unprecedented defeat before it was launched!

According to data, the sales volume of Fruit 7 in China in the first round was only about 5 million units. Although this number still far exceeds the sales volume in other global markets, compared with the Chinese market itself, it has already declined considerably! Compared with the horrifying sales of more than 8 million units when Fruit 6s and 6sp Reels were released, the results of almost half-cutting are really shocking!

What shocked Cook and a group of executives of Fruit Company was that Super Xiaomi's sales reached 4 million units! And its reservation volume has risen all the way, reaching a terrifying 30 million units!

Although Fruit and Huawei encountered joint attacks at the press conference, Fruit urgently adjusted its sales strategy in China, not only putting the Chinese market on the national list, but also lowered its retail price by 100 meters in unprecedentedly. For Fruit, this is almost the largest drop in the sales of mobile phones in China. After the price reduction, the lowest-configured 32gb version of Fruit 7 mobile phones in China has reached the price range of 4,500 yuan, which is almost on the same level as the high-end flagships of domestic mobile phones such as Huawei and Oppo! It should be said that in the past, such adjustments were definitely killer for the high-end market, but now, from the actual sales situation, the effect of this adjustment is not so obvious!

Many Apple fans are complaining about meagerity and some platforms. The release of Fruit 7 lacks novelty and does not make people shine. In fact, the problem of fruit lacks innovation has been complained about by Apple fans for a long time. But in the past, smartphones around the world were the same. Whether it is fruit, Android, or Microsoft mobile phones, it is basically difficult to make any major breakthroughs in appearance and function. So although Apple fans complain, they can basically tolerate it. After all, under the same circumstances, Fruit mobile phones are still the most exquisite and smoothest mobile phones in the world. Although it is a little expensive, to some extent, this is also its "advantage". If you don't sell it so expensive, how can you install 13?

But now, the problem is. The emergence of Xiaomi Super Mobile and Huawei has dropped a bombshell in the entire mobile phone and even the technology world! Any of the four revolutionary black technologies, not to mention, the four technologies are concentrated on one mobile phone! It can be said that the impact of the release of Super Xiaomi and this time on the mobile phone industry is no less than that when the fruit company first released a fruit phone, it is even better!

Under such circumstances, fruits are still so expensive, and they are a little unsatisfied. For those Apple fans who are used to "fruit companies are the best in the world", how can they allow other phones to be "better"? Well, although fruits can still be said that iOS is the smoothest, and the photo function is also very powerful, and the number of apps is the most useful. However, there is no super battery that can be used for three years without charging, no super protection that is outrageously powerful, no super real 3D projection that is too cool, no magical brain wave control... These fun and practical black technologies are not one of them. Is this the most advanced fruit in the world?

There are constantly calling for fruit companies to launch fruit mobile phones with these functions as soon as possible. Some Apple fans have even begun to threaten that if fruit does not launch such mobile phones immediately, they will immediately turn to Xiaomi's arms! Although these are just sporadic remarks on the Internet, for fruit companies, this is already the biggest crisis! Because they have personally proved the power of Super Xiaomi!

Yes, when Cook got the Super Xiaomi in the Chinese market at the first time, he was stunned! He couldn't believe that with the current technological level on earth, he could make such a mobile phone! However, the iron-like facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it!

"How are you in contact with Leshen Group? When can I arrange a meeting?" Cook asked suddenly while sitting in the car.

I was just talking about the weather in Yanjing, and I turned to this topic without any warning. From this, we can also see how anxious this fruit company's eO is deep in my heart!

When Meng Xuelin heard Cook's words, she quickly said apologetically: "Mr. Cook, we have contacted the headquarters of Leshen Group, but they have not responded so far. We are continuing to contact Song Wan'er, the CEO Secretary of Leshen Group, but the reply she gave us is that their chairman Chu Yang has been busy recently and the meeting time cannot be determined."

Speaking of this, Meng Xuelin felt a little embarrassed. As the world's top technology company, Cook, as the head of this company, holds nearly 100 billion Mijin. Such a big man is not difficult even if he wants to meet the heads of state. But now, he takes the initiative to deliver it to his door but is so direct rejected by someone. It is really shameless.

But who can let others master the technology? In the past, fruits have maintained high profit margins in the global market by relying on technology and patent sticks. But now, the feng shui turns and high-tech is in the hands of others, and fruits have also tasted the bitterness of this technical barrier!

"I understand, what time is the meeting with the China Ministry of Commerce?" Cook asked casually, without any displeasure on his face, as if someone who was rejected had nothing to do with him.

"Tonight at 7:30, in the State Guest Room on the second floor of Yanjing International Hotel, Vice Premier Xu, who is in charge of business in China, will also be present." Meng Xuelin quickly reported.

When a person of Cook's level visits to China, the level is basically the treatment of state guests. The reception of the Ministry of Commerce is a matter of course. Even in order to express his attention, important leaders of the country will also receive him. This time, Cook's visit to China, the Ministry of Commerce also arranged a pick-up, and there was a welcome dinner in the evening. Even Vice Premier Xu, who is in charge of business, will be present. After all, in the face of such a super technology company, no country has to pay attention to it.

"Okay, prepare well. The meeting tonight is very important." Cook nodded and said.
Chapter completed!
