Perhaps it was because Cook was greatly affected by the mental impact after visiting several Loongson stores today, so at dinner, he changed his previous talkative conversation with Ren Yan, and from this, he often took the initiative to speak out to Ren Yan, and became a character who kept throwing questions to Ren Yan.

"Mr. Ren, do you like more mustard or less when eating Japanese food?"

"Mr. Ren, what do you think of the relatively backward environmental protection measures under the rapid development of the Celestial Empire?"

"Mr. Ren, what attitude do you have toward genetically modified food?"

"Mr. Ren, you are really knowledgeable and talented. I want to hear your insights on the future development direction of the field of quantum computers."

Like a curious baby, Cook kept throwing questions after questions to Ren Yan, with various directions, but without exception, Cook, who already understood them, no longer discussed cooperation at the dinner table.

Such a sudden change once made Ren Yan very stunned.

Although he had considered that Cook would make some changes due to his visit to Loongson's physical store today, he did not expect that the change would be like this.

At the dinner table, Ren Yan could directly feel Cook's enthusiasm with earnest enthusiasm, which had never appeared before.

It's like... what my past feelings about myself by those fans.

"After visiting this today, Cook suddenly developed a cult of personality for himself?"

Not... there is no possibility.

But, this is really a very metaphysical thing...

After all, Cook's weight in this industry and even the entire technology industry is far from comparable to himself who has just emerged in the industry. But under such circumstances...

This big brother seemed to have inexplicably developed a feeling of admiration for himself.

Well... If you worship or worship, the reason can be attributed to your personal charm that has once again been significantly improved.

However, the cooperation between Apple and Loongson is different from that, and the public and private scores are clear.

Looking at Cook's warm smile, Ren Yan sighed silently.

Because he knew that at the meeting after a while, the big brother would never be able to laugh like this again.

At 8:15 am Beijing time, people from Apple and Loongson gathered in the external cooperation conference hall of Loongson headquarters.

At 8:30, the meeting officially began.

Unlike the last meeting, during this cooperation negotiation meeting, Ren Yan firmly took the initiative from the beginning, rather than letting Apple say what "sincerity" they gave one by one.

Although the last meeting was not going well, through the last negotiation, Ren Yan clearly knew what Apple wanted.

"About the cooperation between iOS and Loongson OS, Mr. Cook, I think this thing is OK, but in addition to the conditions you promised us before, such as the authorization fee that satisfies us, and technical support for improving the app ecosystem chain, I also need Apple to agree to me with a condition."

"That is, you must clearly inform the public when the next generation of iOS jointly developed by you and us are released in the form of an official announcement that the core technology of this generation of iOS comes from Loongson of the Celestial. In addition, if our cooperation on this is smooth, after the relevant contract is signed, you must in the form of an official press conference, or your own press conference, or an official press conference jointly held by you and us, tell all the public that Apple's next generation of iOS adopts Loongson technology."

"As for the issue of your desire to obtain our chip supply in Loongson V series for use in Apple's ima series desktop-level equipment, we will inform the industry of the relevant supply process and price in the next few days. In this regard, Loongson treats all companies in the entire desktop-level equipment market equally. Everyone can get help from Loongson's V series chips and related technologies in the form of Loongson becoming its upstream chip supplier."

"Mr. Cook, you want Loongson to provide the next generation of Apple A-series mobile processor technology, which can be done. If you reach this cooperation, you can still maintain the naming tradition of Apple A-series processors, but you must make it publicly clear to the public that the technology of the relevant processor chips comes from Loongson. From architecture to process, all of them are helped to complete the development under Loongson's leadership."

"Mr. Cook, about..."

Ren Yan said as usual about some key issues about Apple's needs. However, in every related question, when Ren Yan said Loongson's requirements, Cook's eyebrows would tremble slightly, and he would jump from time to time.

Because of what he has seen and heard in the past few days, Cook has long given up his plan for cooperation before he reached the Celestial Empire, and has also pushed the bottom line between himself and Apple a lot.

But in Ren Yan's words, every requirement is that it exceeds Cook's current lower limit, which is much lower than the bottom line.

According to Ren Yan, this is equivalent to if Apple and Loongson cooperate, then Apple will be in an absolutely weak position. In fact, it is almost the same as being indirectly controlled by Loongson...

No matter what product or technology is, it must be related to Loongson.

ios and maos have to tell users that the new generation of systems are all developed by Loongson.

For desktop-level processors, everyone must know that the Loongson V series has replaced Hart and become Apple's upstream chip manufacturer.

The new generation of A-series processors on the mobile terminal must let everyone know that this thing was developed completely using Loongson's technology with the help of Loongson...

There are many aspects of cooperation. As long as technology cooperation is involved, Apple has to act like "We don't produce products, we just use Loongson's technology to assemble products"...

Even though, it is indeed the case...

but……

I, Cook, don't worry about face?

I don’t want to be face-saving?

This simply makes Apple, which was at the forefront of industry research and development, suddenly become an assembly factory similar to some manufacturers in the previous Tianchao under the banner of "domestic"...

Isn't it an assembly factory?

Technology, equipment, equipment given by Loongson, and the most critical chips given by Loongson are made with the help of Loongson's quota...

Although this is actually the case with the cooperation Apple came to discuss this time.

But Cook never thought of making these things public before.

At most, it is just to tell the public that Apple has conducted in-depth cooperation with Loongson in terms of software and hardware.

But Ren Yan's Loongson now wants to tell the world that Apple has become a company that relies on Loongson...

I don’t want to be face-saving?

As Ren Yan expected, Cook, who was in the conference hall, frowned and looked uncomfortable throughout the whole process, and there was no smile he had at the dinner before.

When Ren Yan just finished talking about a place and was about to continue talking, Cook couldn't help it.

He moved his lips, frowned and said, "Mr. Ren, sorry, interrupt you. What you said just now has completely exceeded our bottom line... Regarding technical cooperation, I think a better solution is not to explain it to the world with such a big fanfare."

"Although Loongson has indeed given Apple a lot of help in the cooperation we need, Apple has not provided nothing to Loongson. If you directly label Loongson in the future Apple as such, then such cooperation will be insincere for Apple."

"Mr. Ren, maybe we can adopt a more tactful way, such as releasing news that Apple and Loongson have reached in-depth cooperation in some aspects, without specific explanation. This is not unacceptable for Apple. For Loongson, your reputation in the industry will also increase with the release of such information. It is completely possible to achieve the goals you need."

Cook frowned, waiting for Ren Yan's answer.

Ren Yan smiled softly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Mr. Cook, in the entire industry, you are now the person with the closest contact with Loongson. You should know more about Loongson than others."

Ren Yan's first sentence did not directly answer what Cook said, but instead conveyed the other party the meaning of "you have to see the situation clearly."

However, in the second sentence, Ren Yan did not give Cook any affection.

"What you said, Loongson needs to rely on the conditions I just proposed, such as allowing Apple to announce the relevant technologies or products as an official identity to be developed with the support of Loongson. I and Loongson do not agree with your view. We do not need to gain the so-called industry reputation in this way, because as time goes by, even if we cooperate with any manufacturer, Loongson will become the leader of the entire industry in the future. This is caused by our absolute advantage and leading technology."

"The reason why I put forward these conditions is that in addition to wanting to tell everyone the facts, the deeper purpose is to let the whole world know."

"The Tianchao core has stood up, not the Tianchao that can be slaughtered by the so-called chip technology powers in the form of technology blockade."

"Compared with the industry reputation you mentioned, conveying such a message to the world is what I really want."

"About this, which is the relevant requirements I just mentioned, we will not make any regression. This is the bottom line."

Cook was anxious.

"Mr. Ke Ren, this approach has exceeded our bottom line! Have you ever known that in this way, Apple will become declining from the previous industry to..."

Ren Yan was not angry: "But this is a fact in itself."

"Whether the Eight-Nation Alliance's artillery attacked our vast Celestial Empire, or the Neon people rushed into our Celestial Empire to burn, kill, loot, it has instilled a thought in our minds for generations to come."

"In the words of the Celestial Empire, this is called being beaten if you fall behind."

"I hope Mr. Cook, you can clearly understand this and also understand the form of Apple now. It is very important."

Cook gritted his teeth: "Mr. Ren, can you afford to have some conditions? I mean, you really can't make such a big fanfare."

"Sorry, Mr. Cook, we cannot agree."

Ren Yan sighed and continued to speak: "Personally, I admire you very much, but from the perspective of Loongson and Apple, such admiration cannot make me give in to you."

"This is Loongson's bottom line."

Cook's brows were already frowning, and he tried hard to think about the solution in his mind.

But he couldn't think of a remark that would make Loongson relax at this time.

When facing any business or government personnel before, Cook never felt so urgent.

But Ren Yan from Longxin can easily make him feel like this...

Just when Cook was at a loss, Ren Yan's plain voice sounded.

"It's not that there is no solution, Mr. Cook."

Cook picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, staring at Ren Yan with his eyes.

"Mr. Ren, you said."

Ren Yan smiled: "In fact, this solution is one of our conditions, but Mr. Cook just now, you interrupted what I said."

Cook did not speak, signaling Ren Yan to continue.

"Mr. Cook, I know where your concern comes from, but I believe you should be very clear. Such concerns are actually the current situation of Apple, and even the current situation of all companies except Loongson. Because of the emergence of Loongson, the entire industry cannot keep up with the rhythm of Loongson."

"This is a inevitable result of technological leadership, so I don't think that what Apple tells the world about what it gets from Loongson will have a negative impact on Apple."

"Because in the future, Apple will not be the only one that will receive support from Loongson. If Apple can get support from Loongson first, it will be the first company to gain a foothold in the reformed market, which is actually beneficial."

"I know you may not be able to understand or are unwilling to accept this situation, so I will talk about our last condition, which is also a way to solve the problems you are worried about to a certain extent."
To be continued...
