Cook didn't expect that the attitude of the March Ant Company was so tough. It was the third time today that it was rejected, and it was so straightforward. There has never been a day that was so unhappy as today. Even if it was unhappy, I could only endure it at this time. Otherwise, if it was not mentioned in the acquisition, cooperation would probably be a problem.

This road is not open, so you can only find other paths.

"Ms. Zhao, can you let me talk to your chairman?" Cook broke the deadlock in the reception room.

Zhao Min smiled slightly and looked at Xiaoyu next to her. Xiaoyu knew it and immediately called Chen Mo: "Chen Mo, Mr. Cook wants to see you."

"good."

After Xiaoyu hung up the phone, the reception room fell into silence again. Not long after, Chen Mo pushed open the door of the reception room and walked in.

"Mr. Cook, this is our chairman, Chen Mo."

After seeing Chen Mo, Cook's eyes were filled with surprise. He was so young, he was a little too young. He was stunned for a few seconds, and after he woke up, Cook stood up and shook hands with Chen Mo, and said a simple greeting.

It was not until Chen Mo sat down on the sofa that Cook said: "Mr. Chen Mo, I want to acquire your company this time. Before coming, we asked Brand Finance to conduct a value assessment of your company, $13 billion. I personally think that this valuation is low, so we give a price of $15 billion and want to buy 100% of your company's shares."

"Sorry, the company doesn't sell it." Before Zhao Min could translate it for him, Chen Mo spoke. His English was not good, but Cook could understand what he meant.

Chen Mo was so straightforward, as Zhao Min expected. After translating Chen Mo's words, Zhao Min saw that Cook's face was not good.

When Zhao Min rejected him, she was a little polite. Now Chen Mo said, just a few words, and refused directly, almost without thinking about it just after he finished speaking.

That was $15 billion, not $150. Chen Mo simply made Cook think that he was wrong. But after confirmation, Cook was in a completely bad mood.

Today is the day when he was rejected the most. US$15 billion, almost more than 90 billion in China. This number is already a terrifying number.

"Mr. Chen Mo, it's $15 billion." Cook emphasized.

"I know, I won't sell it." Chen Mo said.

This time Cook has confirmed that what he just heard is right.

"Since Chen doesn't want to sell the company, let's change the way of cooperation." Cook immediately found a way out, otherwise it would be impossible to talk about it if this continued.

"You said." Chen Mo said with a smile.

And the president Zhao Min also transformed into the translator of the two.

"Can your company raise funds? We can raise funds for your company for $8 billion and get 51% of its shares."

"Our company is not short of money. Mr. Cook should tell me about other ways of cooperation. The company's shares will not be sold." Chen Mo said.

Cook was silent. He just saw it. Chen Mo's tone and appearance were very firm. It seemed that the way to control the marching ant company was impossible.

"Then I'll say cooperate," Cook said. "I hope the smart assistant can launch an IOS version."

"It's not that I don't want to launch the IOS side, but that I can't. We must have the core source code and architecture of the operating system, designed according to the code and architecture, so that we can launch it. Without these, we can't run it, or we will be restricted by the mobile phone system as unknown software. Mr. Cook, will you open the source code of IOS to our company?"

This is a difficult problem that completely stumps Cook.

Open source code for the marching ant means that Apple completely bows to the marching ant company, which is absolutely not allowed to happen. According to Chen Mo, there is no chance for the smart assistant to not develop the source code.

what to do?

A huge question mark appeared in Cook's mind, and the light in the depths of his eyes was also flashing.

The reception room was in a dead silence, and several people were waiting for Cook's answer. After a long time, Cook looked up and said, "Chan, we can open source code, but there is a condition."

"you say."

"We both open source code, we open source code for IOS to your company, and you open source code for Smart Assistant to us, so that we can cooperate fairly." Cook said.

"Impossible." Chen Mo refused without thinking.

The source code of smart assistants is currently only known to them, and the above knows it. No other domestic companies can get it, let alone foreign companies.

Besides, he is not interested in the source code of the IOS system. In any aspect, the Marine Ant system is better than the Apple system.

"Chan, you refuse every cooperation, we can't continue like this." Cook said with a calm face.

"It's not what we have to cooperate with. We are just developing software, and the source code cannot be opened to you. We also want to release the IOS side, but we don't have an IOS system architecture, and the smart assistant cannot control the mobile phone system, so the role of the smart assistant cannot be played.

I think the only way for us to develop the IOS side is to open the source code of the IOS to our company. If this condition cannot be agreed, then Mr. Cook will return empty-handed this time."

After Chen Mo said that, he picked up the tea prepared by Xiaoyu and took a sip of it, and waited quietly.

At this time, Cook's eyes were constantly flashing and his face was not very good. Chen Mo's request was too great, and even he could not open the source code of the IOS to Chen Mo.

Cutting down on a company that has just been established for half a year has caused a blow to Apple, which is not an ordinary big blow. Moreover, the source code of IOS is related to deeper security issues.

They could not unilaterally hand over such important things to a Chinese company, and the board of directors would not allow him to do so.

"Mr. Chen, there is no other way?" Cook said.

"Mr. Cook, your company's IOS system is too safe. We can't bypass the mobile phone system and control the mobile phone. Besides, your company has Siri, so we don't need our Xiaodie so much."

After thinking for a long time, Cook sighed and stood up: "Chan, I need to consider your proposal."

"Okay, then Mr. Cook wants to visit the company?"

"No need, I'll go back first, look forward to meeting next time." Cook reached out and shook Chen Mo.

"Zhao Min, go and send Mr. Cook." Chen Mo smiled at Zhao Min.

"OK."

Zhao Min smiled and nodded, leading Cook out of the company's reception room. Not long after, the group left the marching ant company under the leadership of the staff.

As soon as he walked to the company's door, the reporter guarding the company's door slapped at it.

The story of Cook entering the marching ant company has spread in the journalist circle.

The reporters who left the marching ant company came back again. At this time, more than 40 reporters were waiting for Cook to come out of the marching ant company's office building.

"Mr. Zhao, what cooperation do you have reached this time?"

"Mr. Cook, what cooperation do you have reached with the Army Ant Company?"

"Mr. Zhao..."

A group of reporters surrounded and began to ask questions wildly.

Cook walked to the car door, turned around and looked at the reporters around him, with a slight smile on his face.

"Thank you all the journalists and friends. I am very happy to be invited to the Marching Ant Company to discuss cooperation with them this time. I had a very pleasant exchange with them. Marching Ant is a very promising enterprise. In the future, we both will have more cooperation opportunities."
