Yan Kai yawned and stood in the corner waiting instinctively. He was waiting here early this morning. It has been half a day since now, and many people in the same industry have given up.

Cook didn't know when he would come over, so he didn't know when to wait.

He is waiting here, hoping to get first-hand information.

After all, it’s hard to make a news that has something to watch. It’s a pity to give up. If it is confirmed that Apple has come to the army ant company to talk about cooperation, there is a lot of articles to do.

But for now, it’s still not seen by Cook, so it’s not the way to wait. If Cook doesn't come for a day, he will die and wait here.

Just as he was preparing to pack things away, he suddenly stopped. He saw that several people came out of the company and were waiting at the door of the company.

Is there a situation?

Yan Kai immediately reacted and began to prepare the camera. The remaining few journalists who are not ashamed of him have also noticed this scene and have started to fight.

Not long after, a car stopped at the door of the marching ant company. Li Lingfeng and others waiting at the door, after seeing the car, hurriedly greeted him.

Cook looked out the window of the building, the office building of the marching ant company. He did not expect that he had just returned from here this morning, and now he is going back here. Now he is a bit contradictory.

The chairman of the marching ant company is not willing to come out, he can only come over. A small intersection, this initiative has been lost. He has to come, if there is no intelligent assistant, then Apple's days will be very difficult.

"Mr. Cook, welcome, the president asked me to pick you up." Li Lingfeng said in English.

"Yeah." Cook glanced at Li Lingfeng and nodded blankly, coming down from the car.

As soon as Cook appeared, only a few reporters, like the smelly cats, all came over. The camera in his hand glared at Cook.

Just did not wait for them to pass, they were separated by security guards.

"Mr. Cook, what kind of cooperation do you want to talk to the marching ant company when you come to the marching ant company?"

"Is it because of the recent sales of Apple to march ant company?"

"When is the launch of Apple S2?"

......

A few journalists who were stopped, regardless of whether Cook would answer, asked in English.

Cook's face is not very good. As a public figure, he usually doesn't dislike reporters, but at this time his heart is not happy with these reporters.

I simply ignored a few reporters and followed Li Lingfeng into the marching ant company. Until the reception room, Zhao Min had already waited in the reception room.

"Mr. Cook, welcome to the marching ant company." Zhao Min said in fluent English.

"I am very honored." Cook also nodded politely.

"Please sit down." Zhao Min took a look and sat back to his position: "Mr. Cook, I’m going to tour the city in Binhai today. Is this city beautiful?"

Zhao Min’s face is smiling and looks like he is not humble. He is not because he is the world’s number one company by market value.

"This city is very beautiful, I like it very much." Cook also smiled.

Although the mood is not so cool, it is impossible to express it at the moment.

"Mr. Mr. Cook wants to walk more, I believe that there will be no way to go to Binhai in one day. There are still many beautiful places here."

Zhao Min did not intend to take the initiative to enter the topic, came to talk about the cooperation of Cook, anxious is him.

"Yeah." Cook nodded. "Ms. Zhao, let's get to the point. This time, I want to talk about the cooperation between our two companies."

"Oh, it is our pleasure to cooperate with your company." Zhao Min said: "Mr. Cook, how do you want to cooperate?"

“We want to buy your company.” Cook said directly: “Before we came, we asked BrandFinance to give your company a valuation of $13 billion.”

Cook asked the secretary to take a report from the briefcase and hand it over to Zhao Min, which was full of English.

Zhao Min’s report, a simple glance, will be placed on the table. Over the years, Apple has made a lot of money from around the world.

Apple has a 20% market share, but it takes 70% of the profits of the entire mobile phone industry. Apple's hardware profits have been pushed to the extreme, just that Qualcomm does not buy their accounts.

Over the years, the profit of hardware has not been squeezed, and it has locked its eyes on the software market with huge revenue.

As long as they are willing to sell the company, even if it is $13 billion in cash, Apple will definitely be able to take it out and not hesitate to come up with it.

$13 billion, this is definitely a crazy number. How many people earn a hundred lifetimes, they can not make a fraction of this money. It sounds very tempting, not enough for Zhao Min but not cold.

It seems to be a high price, but the value of the marching ant company is nothing more than that. Don't say that the company is not her, even if the company is her, she will not sell. This is a potential company, this so-called valuation is too low.

If you change to a person who likes money, you will definitely be excited to jump. But falling in the eyes of Zhao Min, it is not so important.

She is pursuing a higher life value and creating a super unicorn, not just money. As for Chen Mo, if you are here, you will definitely not bother to look at these value assessment reports.

"Mr. Cook, this price is very attractive." Zhao Min said.

When he heard Zhao Min’s words, Cook showed a slight smile and was relieved. This price is really not something that most people can refuse.

"But I am sorry, we have no plans to sell the company." Zhao Min pushed the report on the table back to Cook.

This sentence makes Cook's heart cold.

I thought no one would reject this number, but it was still rejected.

"Ms. Zhao, is it because I feel that this money is less?" Cook asked.

"No, this money is a lot. But our company, there is no plan to sell, it has nothing to do with money." Zhao Min said.

“Say a condition, how can I sell the company?”

Cook's face can't see the anger. He is more of a marching ant company this time. Cooperation is the second option.

As long as the marching ant company falls into his hands, Apple can take it to the next level. By the time he surpassed Jobs, he would no longer have to manage the company in his shadow.

Now no matter how good he is, he is considered to be more than Jobs. Even if he is, it is unavoidable, but it is not expressed.

If it can make Apple a new level, he will become Apple's second great man, and even make Apple's market value become the first listed company with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear, no matter what the conditions, we will not sell the company." Zhao Min said with a smile.

"The price is not satisfactory, you can add, 15 billion US dollars." Cook finished, staring at Zhao Min.

He wants to see how this woman will react to judge her bottom line. But no matter how he looks, Zhao Min is still the look of a smile. I don't see any difference, it doesn't seem to put this $15 billion in the eye.

Zhao Min shook his head: "If Mr. Cook came over this time, it is for this matter, I am afraid I will return empty-handed."

"If you feel that the price is not suitable, you can say a price, we are negotiating."

"No interest, the company will not sell. Before Huawei, Penguin, Ali have come. If you sell, you can't take you. If this is the cooperation that Mr. Cook said, then there is no need to talk about it, so as not to waste both time. You and my time are precious."

After Zhao Min finished, the reception room fell into silence.

Xiaoyu stood on the side and did not dare to speak. Her English was also good, and she could understand what they were talking about. Cook’s secretary did not speak.

For a time, it was deadlocked.
