Xueba's Black Technology Simulator

Chapter 151 Apple is here, cooperation or hostility

Eagle Country Apple, President Cook is reading the investigation report sent by his subordinates.

Since the system assistant appeared in Xia Guo a week ago, Apple has not been idle.

For such a powerful technology, it is natural to study it in all directions to see if it can be cracked and used in its own system. If Siri's intelligence is not as good as that of Xiao X, it will also affect the brand image of iOS.

In the end, more people will definitely choose the Android camp.

Of course, Apple has two plans. If the imitation fails, it can only find Xiawei Technology and try to let Xiawei Technology put Xiao X on the iOS system.

Both Microsoft and Android systems have a small X, and the small X is so good, but the iOS system does not, and users will only vote with their feet in the end.

Before he knew it, Xia Guo had already led the world in the software field.

In addition to the small X, there is also the X cloud service platform.

This also makes Apple very afraid. You must know that Apple's cloud services are also very profitable. Among the one or two billion users, hundreds of millions of users are using Apple cloud disks.

But now, Apple cloud disk is facing the danger of being subverted.

With the X cloud service, who is willing to use the expensive Apple cloud disk.

Cook knows that even the cloud service giant, Amazon, has been battered recently.

There is absolutely no way to stop the rise of X cloud service!

The most frightening thing is that the X cloud service is completely decentralized, there is no offline service center, and it is already the preferred service provider for countless messy websites.

These websites cannot be banned in foreign countries at all, and decentralization will cause some illegal websites to be unable to find the source.

The servers that may store these illegal websites are actually the computers of thousands of ordinary users.

Unless all users' computers are turned off, so that everyone does not use the X cloud service to hang up and earn extra money.

Cook saw the data sent by the investigation agency and sighed. The latest sales of Apple mobile phones have ushered in a sharp drop. It can be said that since the appearance of the small X, many people's first choice is no longer Apple mobile phones.

In the Android camp, it is not that there are no high-end phones. At least the four-star mobile phones in Nanbangguo have received a lot of bonuses recently. The four-star mobile phones are also Android systems, so they can naturally install X Assistant.

Xiaguo has covered almost all of it, and through various relationship channels, foreign users have also come into contact with X Assistant.

In addition, it was also possible to block the X system through the normal blocking method in the past.

Now with the X cloud service, even some illegal websites cannot be shut down.

It's also extremely easy to share the X Assistant package, with countless websites offering download links.

Cook found that among the popular systems, iOS is the only one that doesn't have an X assistant, and others have it but they don't. This is the biggest problem.

After reading all the information, Cook called Mark Paines, the manager in charge of contacting Xiawei Technology.

He must try his best to get Xiao X into the iOS system.

The cash reserves of Apple's various company accounts around the world are as high as 280 billion U.S. dollars. The money can be used at any time, and a large amount of cash has not been transferred back to the headquarters.

Because they will face huge taxes and fees when they are transferred back to the headquarters, so a lot of money is left in overseas accounts.

This time Mark Paynes has another task, which is to try to buy the iOS version of Xiao X.

System assistants belong to other people, which is intolerable for Apple.

In Cook's mind, they still have a good chance of success, because Xiawei Technology has not launched the iOS version of Xiao X for so long, and there is a high probability that it is because the iOS system cannot be cracked, so there is no way to obtain permissions.

The iOS system is not an open source system, and can only do some things within the rules given by Apple.

Of course, Microsoft is also a closed system, but Cook is confident that his own system is countless times safer than Microsoft's system, and it is not so easy to crack the iOS version system.

It was time for Mark and Xiawei Technology to meet. To his surprise, the meeting place was not Xiawei Technology Company, but Mihayou Game Company.

Both Chen Li and Liu Wei were waiting for the Apple representative to arrive at the company.

Before they arrived, Chen Li and Liu Wei communicated first. Liu Wei was still very surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Xiao would entrust him with such an important matter.

You must know that his company only went through the formalities of equity change yesterday, which means that today he is regarded as a member of Xia Wei Technology.

However, if Liu Wei knew that Xiawei Technology had business negotiating skills, he and Chen Lihou were the only ones, he would probably not be surprised.

Chen Li went to meet Lu Xiao last night, and communicated with Liu Wei before. Seeing that Liu Wei was still a little nervous, she said with a smile: "Mihayou's game business is also bundled with the system assistant for negotiation this time, we just need to grasp Just stick to one key point, as long as they are willing to accept X coins as payment, X Assistant will be able to launch the iOS system immediately.”

Liu Wei is not a novice who doesn't understand anything. He still hasn't figured out how Xiawei Technology can do it.

It stands to reason that iOS is a closed system. Without the cooperation of Apple, it is impossible for X Assistant to go online on the iOS platform. But now I learned from Lu Xiao that X Assistant can already bypass the iOS system and install it on mobile phones.

He wondered: "If the other party's conditions are very harsh, will we take the initiative to launch the iOS version of X Assistant?"

In Lu Xiao's original words, that is to give priority to cooperation. If it is really impossible to cooperate, then they will overthrow everything with one stick and push directly.

After all, the X cloud service has already covered many places overseas, and it cannot be closed immediately. Even if Apple does not cooperate, it can forcefully cover the iOS system.

It's just that the resistance encountered will be countless times greater.

At that time, there may be serious consequences, such as countless foreign forces uniting to target Xiawei Technology and.

When the time came to the appointed 10:00, Mark had already arrived at Mihayou, and led by the secretary to the meeting room.

After the two sides introduced each other, Mark explained his purpose in fluent Chinese.

What satisfied Liu Wei and Chen Li was that Mark was from Apple's headquarters and was the vice president there. This time he came to negotiate on behalf of Cook.

Mark also knew why Mihayou was able to talk about X assistant on behalf of Xiawei Technology. It turned out that Mihayou was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xiawei Technology.

Even Mr. Liu in front of him may become the manager of Xiawei Technology in the future.

The first contact between the two parties was just a test. When the final decision was made, it was still up to Apple's countless shareholders, Cook, and Lu Xiao from Xiawei Technology to make the decision.

Mark asked: "I don't know what difficulties you have encountered. You can't launch the iOS version of the X system. If you need relevant permissions, you can submit an application."

"In addition, our company wants to buy out the copyright of the X system on the iOS system. I don't know what you think."

Chen Li talked about this topic with Lu Xiao last night, what if Apple wants to buy out.

Liu Wei didn't know how to reply, Chen Li smiled and said: "We can hand over the management rights to you, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement, because the software codes cannot be handed over to you, if you are willing to buy the management rights, future maintenance and updates will be difficult Let us do it, that's fine."

To put it simply, it is a bit like a game agent.

For example, there is a very popular game abroad, Xia Guo wants to introduce it, and finally a Xia Guo version of the game appears, but in fact, all updates and maintenance are carried out abroad.

This is also the reason why domestic version updates are often slower than international versions.

Mark nodded. He was a little surprised that Xia Wei Technology was willing to release the management rights. If so, he was sure that the headquarters would find a way to get the authorization.

When the time comes, it will not be Assistant X, but Siri with a new face.

Moreover, a non-disclosure agreement can be signed, and Apple can announce it to the public and obtain authorization, which is much better than Microsoft's current situation.

Microsoft is completely out of control of X Assistant.

Mark continued to ask: "What if we jointly set up a company to develop an iOS version of the assistant? We provide some parameters of the iOS system, open authorization, and you are responsible for the core technology. Of course, our company will occupy a majority of the company's shares."

Liu Wei stopped being silent this time, and said with a smile: "I think Mr. Mark has misunderstood. Our company doesn't need your permission and code. We already have an X assistant that can run on iOS."

Mark's complexion changed drastically when he heard this.

The meaning of these words is too scary. If Assistant X can launch the iOS version without any authorization and code provided by Apple, it means that the iOS system has actually been cracked by Xiawei Technology!

You must know that the iOS system is a closed system. If the iOS system is cracked, what advantage does Apple have.

In the end, I am afraid that it can only become a pure mobile phone hardware manufacturer.

"Sorry, did I get it wrong? President Liu means that you already have the iOS version of X Assistant?" Mark asked, staring into Liu Wei's eyes.

Liu Wei looked at Chen Li, smiled and nodded.

"Can I see it?" Mark asked in disbelief.

Chen Li handed Mark an Apple mobile phone she had prepared.

This was obtained from Lu Xiao last night. In fact, the two had discussed it before contacting the people from Apple. No matter how they talked, the final result was that Assistant X was launched on the iOS system.

It's nothing more than Apple's cooperation and non-cooperation.

If it is not cooperative, then the iOS version assistant will be publicly released to completely replace the iOS system, and there will be big problems in the early promotion.

The other party will fight Xia Wei for technology.

After all, this has shaken the opponent's foundation, and now Microsoft is fighting with Xiawei Technology. I don't know what big move the opponent is planning.

If we cooperate, there are several forms of cooperation.

First of all, the source code will never be leaked to Apple, and it can only be regarded as a limited cooperation.

The first is to go online on the iOS software store like ordinary software. If it is this kind of cooperation, Lu Xiao needs the other party to support X currency payment, and also needs the promotional resources of the other party's software store.

Even Apple has to pay a large sum of money, which is the cost of attracting entry.

The second is naturally to hand over the operation rights and open up some non-core peripheral permissions, such as modifying icons, Apple can use X Assistant to advertise, and so on.

This mode is going to be split.

The third mode is to form a brand new company operation X assistant together, and the core code will still not be released to Apple.

Anyway, no matter what kind of cooperation it is, Apple will be the one who suffers.

It can even be said that Xiawei Technology is using Assistant X to threaten Apple, and if they do not cooperate, they will be beaten.

Although it will be a little difficult to develop in the early stage, the final result is that the iOS system paper X assistant is a vassal.

Assistant X can even bypass the software store and the so-called Apple tax.

The downside is that you become an enemy from the very beginning, the kind of enemy who never dies.

X Assistant is like a virus, attached to the iOS system.

If you can choose, Lu Xiao doesn't want to start a war with Apple so early.

If Apple is also on the opposite side, there will be no allies abroad.

Perhaps tomorrow, the supply of Xia Guo's chips and other high-tech products that are urgently needed abroad will be cut off immediately.

I don't have the confidence yet.

So both sides are actually afraid of each other.

Chen Li took out the mobile phone with X assistant installed, to show the consequences first, and let Apple know what step Xiawei Technology can do.

Then let the other person choose to go that way.

In the communication just now, Chen Li and Liu Wei did not say that the iOS system was cracked, but Mark would take the initiative to think of it.

They may even guess that if Xiawei Technology does not cooperate, will there be a cracked version of the iOS system on the websites hosted by countless foreign X cloud services tomorrow.

After operating a mobile phone with iOS system similar to the one before, Mark was depressed to find that there is indeed an X assistant in it, and it can mobilize all the permissions of the mobile phone.

Even the current mobile phone has an X currency client.

This also means that X cloud disk and X cloud service can all be implemented on this mobile phone.

"Can I take my mobile phone away? I need to discuss with the company's shareholders." Mark finally said.

Chen Li shook her head, "Mr. Mark, the mobile phone cannot be taken away. We have three cooperation modes. This is the plan. You can take this away."

Liu Wei didn't say much the whole time, this time it was more like borrowing his territory to let him meet the head office's negotiation style.

No wonder Chen Li didn't tell him the details before. Everything was planned.

He finally knows Xiawei Technology's style of painting, which is extremely tough. Even in the face of Apple, which has a current market value of more than one trillion dollars, he has no humility at all.

Mark left in a hurry with the plan. After Liu Wei and others left, he asked Chen Li, "Mr. Chen, can I have a look at the plan?"

Chen Li smiled and said, "This is the only one. Why don't you go and see Mr. Lu, he just wants to talk to you about something."

Liu Wei seemed to have thought of something, nodded solemnly, and asked Chen Li if he wanted to come together. He was going to report to Lu Xiao now.

Chen Li naturally agreed.

As the two were on their way, Liu Wei tentatively asked, "Mr. Chen, doesn't Mr. Lu want me to leave Mihayou and work at the headquarters?"

Chen Li smiled and nodded.

Talking with Mark today is mainly led by Chen Lilai, just to let Liu Wei see the influence of Xiawei Technology Corporation.

Of course, even if there is no negotiation today, Lu Xiao is also going to talk to Liu Wei and ask him to give an overview of Xiawei Technology's other businesses.

MiHoYo can make other people responsible.

In Liu Wei's heart, he never thought that Lu Xiao would let him be the CEO of Xiawei Technology, after all, Liu Wei is still not well-known.

The company has not been valued at $40 billion.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao knows Liu Wei's ability. He is not only good at making games, but also has a good vision in other directions.

Metaverse, new energy, brain-computer, and artificial intelligence are all fields that Mihayou is planning in the future.

Lu Xiao doesn't need a person with strong skills, he only needs a big housekeeper. Even if Liu Wei's ability is not as good as the two bosses Ma or Lei, it is completely enough to do a good job in the role of big housekeeper.

This time, whether it is cooperation or hostility with Apple, Lu Xiao also wants to ask Liu Wei's opinion. His opinion will determine whether Lu Xiao will let him work in Xiawei Technology Headquarters.

If Liu Wei has a tough attitude and is confident that he will not be afraid of going to war with Apple, Lu Xiao will definitely let him take over.

Liu Wei knows about brain wave technology and automatic modeling technology. If he knew these things, he would not have the confidence to fight with the trillion-dollar Apple company. Even if Lu Xiao needed a big housekeeper, he would not use Liu Wei to manage the company .

In the future, Lu Xiao will spend a lot of time on scientific research, and the company will not be able to devote energy to many businesses.

His ideal cooperation model is that the CEO of Xiawei Technology must have the courage to be an enemy of the whole world.

Xiawei Technology has X assistant to attract money in China, and X cloud service to make money overseas. Even if there is a foreign chip supply cut-off, can Xiawei Technology itself not invest?

It's just that if you really come to this step, you will face a lot of pressure. Technology is not achieved overnight, and you must have a CEO with a big heart.
