Chapter 952 Another Meeting

Hashabis seriously consulted with shareholders, senior management, and old employees, but he did not make a decision quickly, and everyone's opinions were also divided.

Two days later, Hashabis found Mustafa Suleiman for a one-on-one chat.

Mustafa Suleiman is the co-founder of DeepMind, responsible for the application and commercialization of AI technology, and is also the backer of the NHS incident three years ago.

Moreover, Suleiman is the only co-founder who is responsible for external work, and the others are responsible for technical work, so Hashabis wants to hear his thoughts.

"It is an undeniable fact that it is difficult for Google to support our investment at this time, and I heard that IBM has recently started talking to Google about the acquisition of the quantum department.

If someone can redeem us at this time, it is really good news for us. After all, the project has to go, and if it drags on, people will not be able to keep it.

Just in this way, Google really has nothing to turn the tables. "With only two people, Suleiman expressed his true views very directly.

"We have a semi-cooperative relationship with Google, and the agreement will expire in a few years. Maybe it would be a good thing for Google to exchange some money with us." Hashabis still thinks about Google subconsciously. Condition.

"I thought so too at first, but after Zhang Shuxin's meeting with you got out two days ago, everyone was speculating that Zhang Shuxin wanted to redeem us from Google. As a result, this incident caused the downward trend to slow down a bit. Google plummeted for another two days.

At this time, Google is facing a crisis in three aspects of word-of-mouth capital technology.

This further shows that there is no hope for Google at this time. "In Suleiman's serious Google is already a death sentence.

"So you mean to promise Zhang Shuxin?" Hashabis asked clearly.

"I can't say that agreeing to Zhang Shuxin was the right choice, but staying at Google is definitely not a good choice.

Moreover, Zhang Shuxin's courage is indeed beyond my imagination. Those companies in the United States obviously have to adjust a lot, and they will not be so firm. "

"Then do you think Zhang Shuxin is reliable? After all, she has left Ying Haiwei."

"Although Zhang Shuxin came out to start a new business, as the founder of Ying Haiwei, her resources are impossible to lose, especially" Suleiman subconsciously glanced at Hassabis, "the line between her and Meng Qian."

Hashabis' tense body slowly relaxed, "Is my meeting with Zhang Shuxin being used by the media to make a big fuss?"

"Well, it was indeed highly hyped two days ago, but today it was suppressed by another meeting."

Hassabis couldn't help being curious, "Who met whom?"

Suleiman laughed, "Sun Xiaojing from Dafeng Group, and Cook from Apple."

Hashabis was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously picked up the phone and wanted to eat melons. Who doesn't like eating melons so happy.

The night before, Cook was in France to promote Apple's new products, so he went to a charity dinner sponsored by French entrepreneurs about the aftermath of the Notre Dame fire.

At the charity dinner, Cook met Sun Xiaojing who also came to attend.

Sun Xiaojing invited Cook to have two drinks after the dinner on the spot. Cook was in a complicated mood, but he still agreed.

"The board of directors has put a lot of pressure on Mr. Cook recently." Sun Xiaojing ordered a glass of Wangyou for Cook.

Cook considered his words, and responded lightly, "The board of directors understands everything."

Sun Xiaojing smiled lightly, her expression even a little dazed, "Will you miss Jobs?"

Cook, who was trying to be extremely calm, still leaked a short expression change, "I believe many people will miss him."

"For example, those capitals that have left you recently." Sun Xiaojing's expression returned to normal.

Cook did not answer, and Sun Xiaojing continued, "I believe you know very well that the situation between Apple and Google is different. Eric, Page, and Brin, none of them are Google or their soul, but Apple has its own. The soul of Apple, this soul is Jobs, the reason why these capitals have abandoned Apple so indifferently recently is because you are Cook, because you are not Jobs."

The corners of Cook's eyes twitched, "Just like Meng Qian from Dafeng Group."

"When I was doing personnel management, I often emphasized one thing to the company's staff. Everyone must be clear about their own position, what they are suitable for and what they should do. Only in this way, it is good for you and most efficient for businesses.

No matter who I talk about you, I always think that you are a very rare marketing genius in this era, but your talent is limited to this, and things other than marketing are not your forte.

If you want to get the most out of your talents, you need a good product. "

Cook shrugged, "Maybe marketing a good product can better reflect your talent?"

"Mr. Cook doesn't need to deceive himself with this kind of salesmanship, bring the tiger to the top of the mountain, you can become king with the tiger, bring the cat to the top of the mountain, you really proved your flying ability, but the cat can take what for you

Take you to catch mice?

Is your life just to prove that you can fly? If this is really the case, how could you take over the job of Apple CEO? You can also fly in IBM.

Of course, maybe Apple has sapped your ambition over the years, so I can only say a pity.

But if you still have the original ambition, our Dafeng Group can provide you with a better stage.

We are now recruiting a person in charge of the international supply chain, and I believe you are very clear about the pressure that Dafeng Group has encountered. If you want to prove yourself, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, it is difficult for other companies to match Dafeng. A product like the group has the same treatment as it is now. "

"Miss Sun is really as confident as everyone said, but I don't think I need to make this choice now."

"If Mr. Cook's loyalty at this moment is true, then I'm afraid this is a tragedy." Sun Xiaojing said bluntly, "After all, what I can understand, Apple's shareholders can naturally understand. What Apple needs is not a marketing genius, just like what Apple needs back then is not an unruly Jobs and a group of unruly start-up employees, even if he is the soul.

No matter how later generations mocked Sculley as a stupid thing to drive Jobs away, under the background of the time, Sculley did something beneficial to the group.

Under the current background, I believe that Apple's shareholders will also make the most favorable choice at the moment.

That's why I asked Mr. Cook, Apple's board of directors should have put a lot of pressure on you recently. "

Only then did Cook understand that Sun Xiaojing's initial words did not mean that Apple's board of directors was putting pressure on Cook to change Apple's current fatigue, but that Apple's board of directors was preparing to let Cook go.

In fact, the reality is also true.

Cook looked at Sun Xiaojing's expression and began to change, "I believe that the board of directors will certainly consider Apple's interests, and as Apple's CEO, I will also consider Apple's interests, just like Miss Sun will stand on the interests of Dafeng Group Let’s think about it.”

Sun Xiaojing smiled and shook her head, "It can be regarded as having dealt with him before, but Mr. Cook still doesn't know enough about our Dafeng Group.

Altruism is written into our corporate culture, we enjoy accomplishing others and being rewarded for their achievements.

Mr. Cook has been sorry to Jobs and Apple all these years, but he is only sorry for himself.

We are giving each other a chance now, but for Mr. Cook, such an opportunity is only once in this life, and for me, at least such an opportunity will not be only once. "

Sun Xiaojing, who has already captured Cook's emotional changes, has become more and more aggressive.

"This is an unexpected night." Cook has been shaken, but he has no way to make a decision at this moment.

"I can give you time to think about it." Sun Xiaojing directly picked up her bag and made preparations to leave, "Oh, by the way, this position we recruited this time is a very important position, and we don't want the person in this position to be a person who does things in the future. Indecisive guy, so, Mr. Cook, please give me an answer within this month."

A strong sense of oppression suddenly appeared on Sun Xiaojing's body. Cook looked at Sun Xiaojing at this time, and his heart was never so entangled.
