"What does it mean? Could it be that Apple can't beat Xingyi Technology in a patent war?"

Several major shareholders were confused.

"I can't win!" Vice President Palai Field shook his head.

"What? How is this possible?" Everyone was full of incredible:

"We can't beat Qualcomm, and we can't beat Nokia, but we can't beat Xingyi Technology!"

"That's right, you're too exaggerating. How many core patents can Xingyi Technology have just been established? "

Palai Field sighed: "You may not know that Xingyi Technology spent tens of billions of yuan to purchase a large number of communication patents. Its patent holdings are close to ours. If we really launch a patent war, we may not be able to do so.

Win!"

"Once the other party initiates a counter-claim, we may suffer heavy losses and will be banned from selling. Then we will have to sit down and negotiate and cross-authorize."

"this……"

For a moment, everyone in the room was silent and felt extremely frustrated.

It took a long time for someone to say: "In this way, playing patent cards is useless to Xingyi Technology like dealing with HTC?"

"Yes, Xingyi Technology has prepared too well, and they also have many core patents that can also block us!"

"That's endless? Could it be that the internationalization of Xingyi's mobile phones is already unstoppable?"

"And the great decline of our Apple is also unavoidable?"

"this……"

Silence, long-lasting silence.

There are only sighs, one after another.

Everyone knows what it means once Xingyi mobile phones are internationalized and how big the impact it will have on Apple!

That little bit of parallel goods alone has seriously impacted Apple, and the international sales of iPhone 5S have dropped by about 20%!

Once fully internationalized, the impact will not be 20%, it is likely to be 40%, or even 50%!

By then, the global sales of iPhone will be cut in half just like in Xia Guo!

In this way, what Apple loses is not only sales, revenue, profit, but also stock price, market value, industry influence, and brand value...

All this series will be completely finished!

Apple cannot accept this!

Cook can't accept it!

The major shareholders can't accept it either!

Cook spoke coldly: "The situation has reached its worst time, and the internationalization of Xingyi mobile phones must be completely curbed."

"If it cannot be curbed, it will not only be our apple winter, but even our doomsday!"

Everyone nodded, not feeling the alarmist at all.

Just look at Apple's performance in the Xiaguo market and you will know the global situation.

"The question is, how to curb the globalization of Xingyi mobile phones!"

Cook continued: "Since the patent war cannot be done, then we will fight a channel war! Especially the operator war!"

"A good idea, unlike Xia Guo, the main channel for sales of mobile phones in the United States is not e-commerce or physical supermarkets, but operators, which occupy more than 70% of sales outlets and 80% of sales volume."

"Yes. As long as mainstream operators do not cooperate with Xingyi Technology and do not make Xingyi mobile phone contract phones, Xingyi mobile phones will be useless."

"Without the support of operators, even if Xingyi mobile phones are internationalized, their sales volume is limited, not much more than parallel goods. The impact on our iPhone is also limited, with a maximum increase from 20% of parallel goods to 30%."

"We can still accept the loss of 30%, but Xingyi's phone can't get up."

"Yes, the key is the operator." Cook said, looking at Pioneer Navigation, BlackRock, and the three major shareholder representatives of State Street:

"Whether you can win the operator war, whether you can curb the internationalization of Xingyi mobile phones, and whether you can maintain our Apple sales and market share depends on whether you can convince communication giants such as AT&T and Verizon.

Let them refuse to cooperate with Xingyi Technology!”

"You are the three major shareholders of Apple. It can be said that we are a whole, prospering and losing. Once Apple's sales plummets and profits plummets, the stock price will also plummets. As the three major shareholders, you don't want the Apple stocks in your hands to be serious.

Shrink, right?"

Word by word, Cook said it clearly.

I am afraid that all of them will reach this point, and these three major shareholders have other ideas.

I also think that Apple and Xingyi Technology are both good at everything.

If so, it's over.

Representatives of the three major shareholders have expressed their opinions:

"Don't worry, with us here, let's not talk about anything else, AT&T and Verizon cannot reach a cooperation with Xingyi Technology."

"Yes, we three are the top three shareholders of AT&T and Verizon, and the shares together account for more than 20%. As long as we oppose it, there will definitely be no chance to cooperate with Xingyi Technology."

"We will do our best to stop it, not only AT&T and Verizon, but also Best Buy, which is physical channel, and eBay, which is e-commerce channel."

Upon hearing this, Cook breathed a sigh of relief and felt very happy: "As long as mainstream operators and platforms such as AT&T, Verizon, ebay, and Best Buy do not cooperate with Xingyi Technology, the internationalization of Xingyi mobile phones will be cool."

"With our Apple industry status and dominance, coercion and inducement, and persuade other operators and platforms to refuse to cooperate with Xingyi Technology. Then, we will win next!"

"I want Wang Yi to know that the United States is not Xia."

"In the United States, Xingyi Technology has to be a dragon and a seat for me even if it is a tiger!"

"Apple is the absolute overlord, the absolute overlord who monopolizes 40% of the market!"

"Wow!" A warm applause sounded at the scene. Such domineering attitude is Apple's right.

However, as soon as Cook's extremely domineering words fell, the secretary rushed in in a hurry:

"Chairman, it's no good. T-Mobile and Xingyi Technology have reached a comprehensive strategic cooperation, and will comprehensively promote Xingyi mobile phone custom contract machines and unbounded mobile phone custom contract machines!"

Cook's face changed drastically, and other shareholders and senior executives also turned pale and cursed:

"Fake! Damn T-Mobile, I didn't expect that they were the first to rebel!"

"Just mentioned a full blockade, T-Mobile turned against him. It's so damn!"

"Even though we know that we are mortal enemies of Xingyi Technology, T-Mobile is still the first to cooperate with Xingyi Technology. Are you not afraid of offending us Apple?"

"With the contract phone of T-Mobile, the sales of Xingyi phones will increase significantly. Our iPhone sales will plummet."

Cook was also extremely angry, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he said:

"It's okay, just a T-Mobile, which is fourth in the United States, is not worth mentioning. As long as the other three major operators refuse to cooperate with Xingyi Technology, we will win."

But as soon as the words fell, the secretary couldn't help but say: "Chairman, the cooperation between T-Mobile and Xingyi Technology is not only in the US market, but in the global market."

"What! Cooperation in global markets?"

Everyone was even more angry:

"It doesn't matter if you cooperate alone in the US market. T-Mobile is only the fourth largest operator in the US. But T-Mobile has a great influence in Europe and Southeast Asia!"

"Yes, T-Mobile and Xingyi Technology's global cooperation will have a great impact!"

"Damn T-Mobile, I'm determined to go the same way as Xingyi Technology."

"In this way, iPhones will have to be significantly lost in the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia."

For a moment, everyone changed their colors together, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Cook took a deep breath and spoke again:

"It's okay, the cooperation between T-Mobile and Xingyi Technology has just been reached. If you want to fully implement it, it will be at least half a month to one month. And this month, I don't know what will happen."

Hearing this, everyone else's eyes lit up:

"Yes, reaching cooperation is not about implementing cooperation, and it can be completely broken."

"That's right, as long as we coerce and induce, maybe T-Mobile will give up its cooperation with Xingyi Technology for us."

"T-Mobile will make a rational choice whether to choose Apple or Xingyi mobile phone."

However, just as everyone was in a good mood, the secretary couldn't help but say:

"That... the cooperation between Xingyi Technology and T-Mobile has been fully signed and implemented. The first batch of Xingyi mobile phone custom machines have been in T-Mobile's warehouse."

Cook: "…"

All senior executives: “…”

Shareholders: "..."

For a moment, everyone in the room was silent.

No one expected that the efficiency of cooperation between the two sides would be so high and so fast.

Normally, from signing a contract to starting cooperation and fully implementing it, Apple has room for operation in at least one month.

But now, the custom machines are all ready, and the first batch of goods have arrived in the United States, in T-Mobile's warehouses, and even in the world.
