Chapter 2951 Cook's Olive Branch

The fact that Lao Ma would be so curious about a phone call really wasn't because he was too short-sighted.

As we all know, Apple, the smartphone giant, has now entered the post-Jobs era - this is something that everyone who cares about Apple knew last year.

Although Apple did not disclose Jobs' health condition to the public, at last year's iPhone 4 press conference, I believe what shocked everyone more was not the fourth-generation iPhone, which Apple claimed to have "reinvented the smartphone", but the appearance of Jobs.

Although Jobs seemed to be in good spirits at the press conference, his skinny appearance let everyone know that the rumors about his health seemed to be true.

Who will be the key figure in Apple in the post-Jobs era?

Everyone has a consensus on this, it must be Cook.

Since the first time in 2004, when he temporarily took charge of Apple's work for Jobs, he has taken charge of Apple many times. Jobs' actions and speeches in public have made it clear to everyone that Cook is the person he works for. The successor chosen and cultivated by Apple.

Now, the relationship between Apple and Feng Yiping, at least on the surface, is very ordinary.

Although the industry knows that Apple is still using panels provided by Jiaqiang Optical, but with the strong rise of the Android camp and the market share of Apple's smartphones being squeezed step by step, if Apple has any interest in Feng Yiping, It would be too difficult to make a good impression.

But some people, including Lao Ma, know that at least the personal relationship between Jobs and Feng Yiping has always been good, which to a certain extent has determined the relationship between Apple and his company.

No matter how bad it is, there will always be a bottom line.

But Cook and Feng Yiping did not have such a good relationship.

His call at this time would certainly make Lao Ma curious.

"It will be a good thing, right?" Lao Ma asked.

"So what if something bad happens?" Feng Yiping looked at his watch. It was already late at night in San Francisco, "It will be early tomorrow morning."

Lao Ma said in his heart: Boss, since people are calling at this time, they obviously don’t care about talking to you at this time. Why wait until tomorrow morning?

It seems that the matter should be very urgent, otherwise, this designated successor of Apple would not still want to call you late at night, really want to control it?

So he smiled and said, "I really wish I knew what he was going to say right now,"

Feng Yiping smiled and said, "Mostly, they are bringing business to us."

Lao Ma immediately reacted, "You mean, chip?"

"Mostly,"

"That's a good thing," Lao Ma clapped his hands.

He is now also one of the spokespersons for a consortium of Apple's competitors, so he is most aware of Apple's share of the smartphone market.

Take it out alone, he is still the undisputed boss and a big customer!

"The rare olive branches are all stretched out," he said, "then let's seize them quickly."

"He probably made the call after learning that we were maintaining price parity," Feng Yiping said. "This also shows that they never considered us in the first place."

"Dr. Zhang and the others acted quickly enough," Lao Ma said.

How long does it take for the meeting to end? Even Apple received the news.

However, it is also possible that this is the news that Dr. Zhang and others released in a targeted manner.

Although in general terms, their boss and Apple are real enemies, but because of the sales of smartphones, Apple is their biggest potential customer.

To say that these guys are thieves, no matter what, they need to provoke them first. Anyway, they know that if Apple is really interested, they will go to the boss directly as soon as possible.

This mobilized the boss himself.

"Just 8 o'clock tomorrow morning," Feng Yiping said to Wu Qian.

Lao Ma immediately said rainbow fart, "This is a good time,"

Although I was stuck today, I will call you before going to work tomorrow. Considering the preparation before the call, Feng Yiping must go to work at least an hour and a half early. He is sincere enough and gives enough face.

This is an hour early, which can be said to be very considerate. It is exactly the time to get off work at 5 o'clock in San Francisco, which is very suitable for holding a meeting or something.

"Tomorrow, I will also listen in," he requested.

"Of course you have to listen, and the same goes for this call now." Feng Yiping dialed Brin's phone in front of him, "Do you want to go home for dinner tonight?"

Lao Ma smiled and gave him a like, go home for dinner, this is a great thing to say!

It was a little noisy over there at Bulin, and there seemed to be a lot of people.

This is not surprising. Wherever he goes, he is treated as being watched.

"Of course," Brin said immediately.

Feng Yiping and the others immediately heard someone next to them saying that they had made arrangements for the evening and were about to invite Mr. Feng and so on.

Feng Yiping immediately hung up the phone. He was now qualified to be impatient with such social interactions.

And Brin, of course, can do his best not to give face.

Anyway, everyone in the world knows that the big guys in Silicon Valley are a bunch of Martians who don’t understand the world, and they all have a very high tolerance for this.

"Together," Feng Yiping said to Lao Ma without any hesitation.

"No problem," Lao Ma, who likes martial arts novels, certainly likes this opportunity.

…………

But Feng Yiping didn't know that Brin also liked Jianghu so much.

It was getting dark, it was already dinner time, and all the delicacies at home were ready. After intensive meetings and talks for several times in the afternoon, he came back with a group of people.

But he turned a blind eye to the feast carefully prepared by the hotel restaurant’s chef team and insisted on eating at the food stall!

Feng Yiping really didn't want to go. He really didn't need to go to a food stall to show his down-to-earth attitude, because he had always been very down-to-earth.

Besides, our tradition is to try not to cause trouble to other people.

But that guy who is almost 40 years old is as willful as a four-year-old child, "I want to go, I want to go, I must go,"

Feng Yiping glanced at the person in charge of security behind him, and found that the other person also had a look of sadness on his face. What could he do with such a master?

…………

The motorcade slowly drove into Changli Road. The colorful neon signs, the rough and domineering displays in front of each store, the noise of diners inside and outside the door, the heat wafting from each store in the early spring night, and even Even the inevitable water stains and garbage in front of each house... really make people directly feel the heat and vitality of life.

It is indeed a very different experience than eating in a high-end restaurant with elegant decoration and surrounded by waiters.

Brin, who was sitting in the car, was eager to try, "This is very Chinese!"

Seeing Feng Yiping looking sideways, he hurriedly smiled and explained, "I mean, this is very unique."

"I'm sorry, everyone," he apologized to the other people in the car, "I didn't mean anything else."

"Haha," Lao Ma continued with a smile, "This is also one of a series of supporting services we launched during the World Expo to let tourists from all over the world better understand Chinese characteristics."

"In fact, in many cities in China, streets like this are gradually disappearing,"

Brin bumped Feng Yiping with his shoulder.

When Feng Yiping saw this, he also smiled and added, "In the summer, it will be more lively here,"

At the beginning, he was not very clear about how Google, including Brin and Page, felt about us. It was probably a bit disdainful.

But now, because of him, not only Google and Apple, but many companies in Silicon Valley still have a relatively objective understanding of China, or at least they will not look at us with that rigid old-fashioned perspective.

What Brin just said may not convey what he meant.

The car stopped.

Although they have tried their best to avoid disturbing the people, there are already many people watching on the roadside with their mobile phones. There is no way, their visit will definitely affect other people's business, and the security team must Let me talk about it in advance, as well as the corresponding safety inspections. For example, the catering industry is now popular, but gutter oil has not yet been widely exposed...

News inevitably spreads.

Brin, who was the first to jump out of the car, received the most flash lights and cheers. At that moment, he looked like a flower on the road to Changli.

But whether it was a flower or a dregs, they were soon pulled into a fried chicken restaurant to sit down, and they could not disturb the whole street and stop doing business.

Of course, he won't just be allowed to taste the fried chicken that claims to be the best in the fried chicken world. Other delicacies on this street include fried pork chops, pot stickers, fried noodles, cold noodles, stinky tofu... and now the national popular The number one internet celebrity in the food stall, Crayfish, came with a portion.

On the big table where two tables were put together, the signature delicacies from various shops on the street were piled up layer by layer, attracting the guys on the third and third floors at the door who were just watching people, while holding up their mobile phones. , couldn't help but swallow.

Brin held chopsticks in one hand and crossed his fingers in the other, "Well, that's great! I like this atmosphere,"

His appearance made the people watching at the door very satisfied and proud.

Recognition and praise of food are very easy to resonate with everyone.

He even commented on the pig brain flower, "It's really creative and amazing!"

"This must be the most delicious meal I have ever had in China,"

Even though he knew that he was probably trying to make up for what he had just blurted out in the car, such a rainbow fart naturally caused the phone at the door to snap and snap pictures.

For Feng Yiping and the others, whether they are in a luxurious box or at a food stall like this, it is always difficult to simply enjoy eating, and it is the same now.

Brin obviously wanted to say something to Feng Yiping. He was just about to say something to Feng Yiping when there was another commotion at the door. Zhao Fang, the head of Tesla China, led Musk and Eberhard into a difficult situation. squeezed in.

"Please take a seat," Feng Yiping stood up to welcome these people who have been busy in the factory until now.

"Mr. Feng," Zhao Fang couldn't help but tell him the good news, "So far, our annual output has been booked,"

"Really? Congratulations to you, Mr. Zhao. It seems that you are very busy. The progress of the second phase of the project will be accelerated," Feng Yiping patted his shoulder happily.

Eberhard was also beaming with joy, "I didn't expect that China's demand would be so high!"

Musk is up to something. He gave two thumbs up to the people watching at the door... Well, this is a guy who is good at stealing the limelight.
