If you cheat, money will follow

Cook did not participate in the so-called response meeting organized by the White House.

He believed that such meetings were meaningless and a waste of valuable time.

Time is precious and he has more important things to do.

On the day of the Juchang press conference, he contacted Chang Le immediately.

After receiving the agreement, Cook immediately boarded a private jet and flew to the Chinese capital.

Then transfer to Jiangzhou and stay at the Grand Hyatt Hotel again.

The water of Jingjiang River is calm and deep, but Cook's heart is ups and downs.

This time when he came to China, he was not in a relaxed and comfortable mood as usual, checking in and leaving traces everywhere.

Not to mention being surrounded by fruit fans, walking through the streets and alleys of the city, showing his amiable side.

Instead, he chose to stay in a hotel and thank guests behind closed doors.

Even underneath the Grand Hyatt Hotel, it has become the center where media reporters gather.

Currently, as carbon-based chips and mate20 become more popular, reporters are in a turbulent mood.

The whole world knows that Cook has come to China again.

The North American media even defined his trip as a begging trip.

Forbes believes: “Although global users still highly recognize the quality and brand of Fruit phones, Fruit is still the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer, accounting for 1/4 of the market share and 1/3 of the market profits…”

“However, without the support of Leda Investment and the supply of carbon-based materials, fruit is likely to become history in a very short period of time.”

The New York Times believes: "Just like the support of solid-state batteries, this time Mr. Cook must once again obtain the support of their major shareholders, otherwise the fate of the fruit will become confusing."

CNN believes: "In order to obtain the support of solid-state batteries, fruit has left more than half of its production supply chain and 30% of its value chain in China..."

"And this time, if Cook can achieve the expected goals when he goes to China, it is very likely that more than 70% of the value chain will stay in China..."

"Like Tesla, Fruit will become a thoroughly Chinese company headquartered in North America."

Mr. Cook declined to comment on the innuendo and criticism in the North American media.

Instead, he honestly hid in the suite with his assistants and senior executives to discuss what to say after the meeting the next day and what situations they might encounter.

Now, the fruit is no longer the pride it once was.

Since the advent of solid-state batteries, the strong position of fruit in the supply chain has been continuously weakened.

You must know that a few years ago, Cook had been planning to avoid risks.

Encourage suppliers to move their factories to India or other Southeast Asian countries.

However, the Solid State Battery Alliance has an unwritten but consensus rule:

Mobile phone manufacturers and automobile manufacturers that use parts from factories in India and Southeast Asia will not be supplied with Kirin batteries.

In short, the supply is cut off!

Forced by the situation, Cook has long extinguished this unrest in the balance of the industrial chain.

"Do you think the other party will support us?" Cook asked his assistants and executives.

Cook had a vague answer in his heart. He just wanted to unify his thoughts.

"Sir, I think so." The assistant's answer was affirmative:

"They will definitely agree."

"Because technology still needs industry and the market to promote it, and we are the most suitable partner."

"In the past few years since Juchang was sanctioned, we have caught up and become the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, occupying a quarter of the global market share, and have very high brand recognition..."

"But, Mr. Cook, if we choose their carbon-based solution, then through our promotion, they will control the world's semiconductors just like they control the new energy industry."

"There's probably going to be a lot of dissatisfaction on the White House side," executives said worriedly.

"Whether our opponents control global semiconductors is not a matter for us to consider, but what politicians have to do." Cook disagreed, shaking his head and said:

"We are only responsible to our investors and ensure that the fruit brand cannot disappear before we retire, but can continue to develop, that's all."

"Actually, we can't think too highly of ourselves. Even if we don't use carbon-based solutions, it will still take the world by storm, and no one can say no to this superior performance product."

"Survival is more important than anything, and I hope you all understand that."

"If we want to achieve something in the field of carbon-based semiconductors, we must prepare as early as possible..."

"Design and OEM must have one-to-one solutions. This is far more important than satisfying the politicians in the White House."

Cook continued: "I think they will agree, I know Chang Le very well."

"Although he is only 30 years old and 29 years younger than me, his thinking is very mature and stable."

"He is not as extreme and populist as those politicians in North America."

"He doesn't care where the company belongs, whether it's North America, Germany, South Korea, or the United Kingdom..."

"He only cares about whether these companies can invest in China, whether they can choose Chinese supply chain companies, whether they can provide jobs, generate tax revenue, promote consumption, etc."

"Just like Tesla, Musk is very smart. He has kept 90% of Tesla's value chain and nearly 60% of its profits in China."

"Therefore, Tesla has received full support from Leda Investment and Leda companies. The cost of the Kirin batteries they obtained from the Solid-State Battery Alliance is even lower than that of some Chinese companies."

The executive said: "In the new energy vehicle industry, more than 90% of the world's electric vehicles are equipped with Kirin batteries, accounting for 30% of the cost of the entire vehicle. This means that the whole world is working for Leda Investment and the Solid-State Battery Alliance..."

"Once carbon-based chips are applied and promoted by us, the semiconductor industry will also become the second new energy vehicle, and the whole world will work for them."

"No, even without our application promotion, carbon-based chips can still win the hearts of users around the world with their ultimate performance, and they can sell well all over the world very easily and unimpeded." Cook disagreed and said:

"Even if North America restricts the sales of Ju Factory, North American people can get the Mate20 they want through countries such as Maple Leaf Country, Mexico, and Europe."

"As far as I know, the president's daughter has placed an order for mate20pro through Mexico."

“No one will refuse the ultimate experience brought by advanced technology, especially young people.”

"How many orders does Ju Factory have now?" Cook asked his assistant.

"Already 2000 million units. According to predictions from relevant agencies, by next year, their shipments will reach 3 million units, covering most of the high-end mobile phone market..." the assistant replied:

"For now, only capacity can stop them."

"Moreover, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers such as Mi Factory and OV are also working hard to design their own carbon-based chips. They have advantages over us."

"So, we must reach an agreement with Leda Investment as soon as possible and gain their support." Cook affirmed:

“Moreover, it is necessary not only to obtain material supply, but also to obtain design and foundry support.”

"According to the analysis of dismantling reports from professional organizations, the design and development of carbon nanotube chips have different structures from silicon-based chips."

"Although we can use the ARM architecture as a basis to develop an architecture that is consistent with carbon nanotube chips, it will take time."

"What we are short of now is time."

"So, we need to obtain the authorization of Lingxi Architecture, and the intellectual property rights of Lingxi Architecture are in Pingtouge Research Institute."
