Chapter 1383 A Letter of Apology from the United States

   This is how many times Cook has come to China!

   Cook, who was sitting in the back of a luxury car, looked at the city scenery that was constantly passing by the window, and was very emotional.

   In the past two years, he has come to China from time to time to form good relationships and restore the corporate image that was destroyed by his predecessor.

   However, his several trips to China were not very smooth, and did not remove obstacles for the entry of Wisdom Fruits into China.

  In addition to the factors of Lao Qiao, there are also factors of Wisdom Fruit Company. Both have one thing in common, and they are unwilling to bow to the Chinese market.

   But where Cook is stronger than Old Joe is that he is not so stubborn.

   He has been secretly observing and evaluating the potential of the Chinese market.

  The big market with a population of 1.3 billion, even if it is not rich as a whole, as long as 1% of the people buy smart fruit phones, it can contribute 13 million shipments.

   is a tempting number.

  You must know that as of now, the sales volume of Wisdom Fruits has been less than 30 million in more than two years.

  The Chinese market must be won!

   In order to successfully enter China, he made a lot of concessions that were completely impossible during the reign of Old Joe.

   The profit contained in the purchase of a mobile phone with a unit price of 2,000 yuan can make all operators on this planet feel excited.

   Facts also proved his guess, the Chinese market finally opened the door to them.

  5 million phones is just the beginning!

  The fruit of wisdom is not about profit, but an opportunity to demonstrate powerful technology and product innovation to Chinese consumers.

   If Daeron Xia knew this news, he would definitely be devastated!

   Cook smiled and withdrew his gaze from the window, thinking silently in his heart.

   No matter how much I and Lao Qiao looked down on Fuxing mobile phones in the past, we cannot deny the fact that Fuxing mobile phones have developed into the biggest opponent of Wisdom Fruit.

   Competing with Wisdom Fruit in the global market is one of them, and the second is Fuxing Mobile, which is backed by strong shareholders and supporters such as Fuxing Industry and Darren Xia, and the third is also entering the chip field...

   There is so much bad news that Cook is almost numb, and at the same time, he is especially vigilant about the rise of the revival mobile phone.

   He tried every means to enter the Chinese market, and he also had a purpose of going straight to the home of Fuxing mobile phones.

  Smart phone is such a good technology product, if it is not sold in the Chinese market, it will only hand over its market share to Fuxing mobile phone, which is equivalent to disguising itself as an enemy, which Cook will never tolerate.

  The car stopped at the door of a luxury hotel. When Cook got out of the car, he saw the reporters squatting here. It was a large area of ​​darkness, which looked very oppressive.

   China has a huge population!

   Seeing these people, Cook seemed to see walking bills.

   "Hello everyone! Thank you!"

   Escorted by bodyguards, Cook approached the group of reporters. He waved at the reporters with a kind smile and greeted the audience in Chinese.

   This foreigner can actually speak Chinese! And the Chinese level is not low!

   The press corps seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and they all took the microphone and approached Cook to interview the head of the company in charge of the hundreds of billions of dollars in market value.

   Cook stopped the rude bodyguard and accepted every reporter's interview with a gentle smile.

"I like China so much, I like the scenery, food and the kind-hearted Chinese people here. This is a hot economic land. The Chinese people are using their diligence and wisdom to change the backwardness of the past. I firmly believe that in the near future, China will definitely Will become a world power like the United States!"

   "Smart fruit mobile phones have entered the Chinese market this time, bringing our best products. I believe that the Chinese people will definitely fall in love with it."

   "Product pricing? This question will be answered by our partner China Unicom Group later in the press conference."

  …

  Cook, with silver hair and black-rimmed glasses, looks less like an entrepreneur and more like a scholar and professor.

  His humility and courtesy, his profound knowledge, and his sincere love for China... left a deep impression and favorable impression on most of the reporters present.

   After all, it is hard for you to hate a foreign friend who loves China and praises China.

Not to mention, this foreign friend is also the world's top technology entrepreneur. He affirms China's development achievements, respects and understands Chinese culture, and every word he says scratches everyone's itch. There is a strong sense. A strong sense of pride.

Just when Cook turned around and was about to walk into the hotel, a reporter suddenly rushed up, put the microphone in front of Cook, and asked, "Mr. Cook, your former boss and Wisdom Fruit CEO Lao Qiao said The Chinese people are all yellow-skinned monkeys. Although he has left the company, Wisdom Fruit Company has not apologized to the Chinese people. Do you think this is racial discrimination? If so, should Wisdom Fruit Company apologize to the Chinese people? "

   As soon as these words came out, all the reporters present became nervous, staring at Cook intently, and some people took out their cameras, ready to record the wonderful expressions on Cook's face.

   Cook said with a very serious expression: "This is a very complicated and heavy topic, and I will explain it later at the press conference."

   Before the press corps could react, Cook walked into the hotel surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

   As soon as Cook entered the hotel conference hall, he met a group of Unicom who came to greet him.

   was headed by Chang Xiaobing, chairman of China Unicom, who shook hands and chatted with Cook enthusiastically.

   "Chang, I'd like to share with you good news. When you visited the United States some time ago, the product shown to you has finished research and development, and it will be officially unveiled and released in a few months."

   "Really? This is really exciting news, not sure about its Chinese agency partner..."

   Cook smiled slightly, "As China Unicom's strategic partner and China's exclusive distributor of smart fruit phones, we naturally give priority to you."

  Chang Xiaobing understood the overtones, this foreigner is so realistic, he doesn't throw eagles if he doesn't see a rabbit.

   The so-called priority may have to add a major premise to sell smart fruit phones well, so that we can have confidence in you.

   However, this is not contradictory to Chang Xiaobing's idea. The reason why they chose to introduce smart fruit mobile phones is to use this mobile phone to attract users to switch to the Internet and choose Unicom 3G.

  After chatting for a while, the two walked on the stage together, and there was a signing table covered with red silk, which looked very festive.

   Witnessed by hundreds of reporters and long guns and short guns, Chang Xiaobing and Cook signed and exchanged cooperation agreements, shook hands and posed for photos amid thunderous applause.

   Then the two had a question-and-answer session in turn.

   First, Chang Xiaobing made a big pass and praised Wisdom Fruit as an excellent and innovative technology company, and joined forces with China Unicom to create brilliant things together.

When it was Cook's turn to speak, he slowly took out a piece of letterhead from his jacket pocket, raised it in his hand, and said to the microphone in front of him, "This is an apology letter from the United States. "

   As soon as he heard this, there was a "buzzing" discussion off the court, and everyone was guessing who wrote the letter.

   "This is an apology letter written by Lao Qiao dragging his sick body. Because of his cancer, he could not even walk, so he couldn't come to China to apologize to everyone in person, so he entrusted me to do it for him.

   Please give me two minutes to read this letter to you all. "

   After saying that, Cook took the letter and read it with emotion.

   It was extraordinarily quiet off the court, because everyone was listening to the letter of apology, and at the same time had some associations.

   A stubborn and proud man like Lao Qiao would bow his head to the Chinese market?

   This was a bit unexpected by the reporters present.

  Should we forgive him?

   It is said that Old Joe has cancer and has not much left to live.

  When people are about to die, their words are also good, and it makes sense to apologize to the Chinese people.

   After reading the letter, Cook said with a sad expression: "He knows that there is not much left in his life, and his biggest regret, or guilt, is to hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

   He heard that the medical conditions of the Chinese people are lagging behind, and he specially asked me to donate 100 million RMB to charity medical organizations in China on his behalf! "

   After saying that, Cook took out another check from his pocket and showed it to the audience.

  This time, the people off the court couldn't sit still anymore, and they all started to discuss Lao Qiao's kind deeds.

A foreigner who has never been to China in his life, a stranger who has never been to China in his life, suddenly woke up at the end of his life. With guilt and a kind heart, he donated 100 million to China to help those who are like him. Unfortunately, patients who are afflicted by illness.

   A reporter automatically made up a touching story.

   There were also some female reporters who had never heard these touching stories in their lives, and secretly wiped away tears.

   A more sensible reporter still maintains the ability to think independently, thinking about the motives of Wisdom Fruit and Lao Qiao working together to make this happen.

   Then again, no matter what his real motives are, this may be the largest charitable fund donated to China by non-Chinese and foreign friends of Chinese descent. It is a great act of kindness to be able to help a large number of unfortunate families!

  Old Joe is a great man!

   As for whether he will become an old friend of the Chinese people and live in the memory of everyone forever, it depends on whether the opinion leaders and public intellectuals who have received the reward are strong enough.
