Chapter 196 Apple's Situation

"What's going on?" Liu Fan asked Xu Jing to sit down.

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 word change of owner, Liu Fan's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He quickly glanced at the report. From the report, it can be seen that Apple's stock price has fallen again and again recently, and it is obvious that someone has maliciously shorted it.But at the same time, funds have been buying Apple shares from the secondary market.

In addition, some shareholders of Apple have sold all their shares, and now Apple is going through a vicious acquisition, and judging from the current situation, this vicious acquisition is likely to succeed.

Judging from the direction of funds and shareholder transactions that can be heard on the surface, the acquirer has already acquired at least 25% of Apple's shares. It is hard to estimate how many transactions there are in private.

"Have you found out which company is buying Apple?" Liu Fan asked when he saw that there was nothing written in the report.

"There is no accurate information, but it seems...not a technology company."

"Huh?" Liu Fan showed a puzzled expression.

"It seems to be a certain capital group." Xu Jing said uncertainly.

"If it's not a technology company, what is the purpose of buying a failed Apple?" Liu Fan asked half to himself, and he didn't quite understand it for a while.

"No one will know about this, and the news is not wrong, but at least Apple is facing the matter of being acquired, and it should be certain."

There was no more news, and Liu Fan didn't continue to worry about who the buyer was, "So what's the reaction from Apple?"

"Of course Apple doesn't want to change owners. Cook has been walking around a lot recently, probably because he wants to stabilize shareholders. But the situation in Apple's secondary market is very bad now. The biggest problem now is that even if Apple bites its teeth and doesn't let go You have retained your autonomy, but the other party will directly make you Apple unable to turn around through the secondary market."

"This is forcing Apple to either sell the company, or take advantage of your current failure and directly strip you down to a helpless bone. This acquisition is really ruthless." Liu Fan knocked He knocked on the table and fell into deep thought for a long time.

"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, just wait."

Three days later, Apple suddenly appeared in major media, but the titles were similar to:

"Apple Stealing User Privacy is a Real Hammer, and the Ministry of Justice Has Intervened in the Investigation"

"Apple has violated the patent law in large numbers and will be sued by more than ten companies including Qualcomm and Microsoft"

"Apple's stock price plummeted continuously, Moody's downgraded Apple's rating again"

"Apple executives are deeply involved in the sex door incident, Apple's internal chaotic employee relations are exposed"

"Apple will be investigated for alleged illegal monopoly"

"Apple earphones have been exposed to cause cancer again, a large number of users will be checked"

"Apple Car's ratings decline, users say Apple exaggerates technical level"

"Apple's first self-driving accident, three people injured in the car"

"Apple owed the final payment to many OEMs and was exposed, squeezing the interests of OEMs all the year round"

There is an overwhelming amount of news, but the direction is the same, which is to drive Apple into the abyss.

"Being able to control public opinion, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes this time is really not easy." Liu Fan looked at the news and sighed, "I'm afraid Apple will not survive this calamity."

"This is the law of survival." Xu Jing said calmly from the side.

Liu Fan raised his head to look at Xu Jing, and joked, "Sister Xu Jing, you have really become more and more rational in the past two years."

Xu Jing pretended to be helpless, "What can I do when I meet such a sentimental boss? You forced them out."

Liu Fan smiled, but immediately put away his expression, "Sister Xu Jing, there is something you can do for me, and ask Cook if he is interested in meeting, but I tried my best to keep this matter secret."

"Okay, I know." Xu Jing nodded affirmatively, and would not cause any trouble or worry to Liu Fan.

This is one of the reasons why Liu Fan likes Xu Jing, you can rest assured by entrusting the matter to her.

The next night, a man wrapped up tightly came to Liu Fan's home.When he took off his jacket, everyone could recognize him. This is Mr. Cook, the CEO of Apple.

At this time, Cook was very haggard, his body had lost weight several times, and his complexion was also very bad.

"Mr. Cook, we finally meet." Liu Fan stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

Cook shook hands with Liu Fan uncomfortably, "I really didn't expect that we would meet in this way."

Liu Fan didn't say much, let Cook sit at the dining table, and asked the butler to serve the food, "The journey is hard, let's try our Huaxia cuisine."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

The two sat together and chatted for a while. After Liu Fan felt that Cook was more accustomed to it, he asked, "How is the company lately?"

Cook's hands visibly paused, and he managed to squeeze out a smile, "Mr. Liu should be very clear about our current situation."

"Do you hate me?" Liu Fan asked directly without turning a corner.

Cook shook his head, "This is the law of nature. I have no reason to hate Mr. Liu."

The two fell silent at the same time. At this time, the butler just brought the Yanjing Roast Duck. Liu Fan personally wrapped a roll for Cook and handed it to Cook. After the latter took it, he said, "Actually, although I have never been considered a I am an Apple fan, but I have always liked the spirit of Apple and admired the greatness of Jobs. It is not easy to stick to a dedication and create a legend in such an era.”

Cook swallowed it all at once, and said after swallowing it all, "Mr. Liu, what is your goal?"

"As I often say in press conferences and in front of the media, I hope that technology can change the era, and it is an era of real inclusiveness, so that everyone can benefit from the development and change of technology. At the same time, I am also very I look forward to exploring the complex animal of human beings through the development of artificial intelligence."

"Then do you respect technology?" Cook suddenly looked at Liu Fan seriously.

Liu Fan understood what he meant, and said with a serious face, "I respect technology, I respect nature, and I respect people even more."

"If one day you embarked on an absolute monopoly, how would you deal with yourself?"

"I don't think there is an absolute monopoly in this era without any restrictions and fetters. Even if there is such a day, I still believe in myself."

Cook stared at Liu Fan with deep eyes, almost betting on all his life experience and ability to read people, and finally opened his mouth after a long time, "Mr. Liu, can I come to ask for your help?"

Liu Fan sat up subconsciously, what he was waiting for was Cook's initiative to speak.
