Chapter 346 Autonomous Driving
"Mr. Cook should have read our company's recent news, right?" Liu Haoyu suddenly asked with a smile.
Listening to the translator's translation, Cook's heart suddenly tightened, and he showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "I saw it."
Cook told the truth. At this point, he couldn't just say he hadn't watched it without conscience. Even if he said he hadn't watched it, it would be useless. They couldn't just give him a computer now and let him finish watching it.
It’s over, it’s over, you’re not asking me to give him the materials he needs to make a deal, right?
Oh my god, this is a technology company, not a mining company. Where do you want me to get those special materials and metals for you?
Mr. Cook suddenly realized that it was not that easy, and he would still be tricked after all.
Looking at the button, with an ugly expression on his face, Liu Haoyu smiled at Cook unconsciously: "These days, money is not everything, you can't buy anything! You see, in the past few days, I have been I know very well that if I want to buy something, no one will sell it if I give it money. So, what is the use of having so much money?"
"What do you mean by Mr. Liu?" Cook had no choice but to ask in response to Liu Haoyu's wishes. It was him who took the initiative to seek cooperation. There was no use in avoiding him unless he no longer wanted to cooperate.
"I think it's too vulgar to use money to buy things. Let's just exchange things for things." Liu Haoyu didn't want to seduce him, and said directly: "We don't need money, you just need to get those of equal value." Just come over with the materials you need.”
"..."
Can I say this is not good? Cook felt bitter and brought the materials of equal value to settle the bill. That was equivalent to the intermediate transportation costs. They paid the import and export fees. Calculated in this way, the licensing fee was more than 20 US dollars per unit.
After some "conscience" conversations, Cook finally had no choice but to compromise.
It's impossible not to compromise. If it angers Universe Technology Company and bans them on the Qiankun system, then Apple will really be doomed. Who makes their business all on mobile phones or computers!
After the cooperation conversation is completed, the next step is to sign the contract.
After the licensing contract for the Qiankun system was signed, Cook took out several mobile phones from the document bag and placed them in front of Liu Haoyu.
And he said: "This is a new mobile phone we have developed. We will adapt it to you in the past few days. Please be sure to strive for perfection."
Liu Haoyu pushed these mobile phones to Zhang Lei, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Cook, now that the contract has been signed, I will definitely do my best for you."
These unreleased mobile phones have also signed confidentiality contracts and are not allowed to be leaked.
"I wonder how long your adaptation work will take?" Cook asked.
Liu Haoyu said confidently: "It will take up to three days. After three days, we will send the adapted system to your company. You can test it yourself. If there are any problems, you can feedback to our company."
"Isn't three days too short? We are not in a hurry."
When Cook heard that it would only take three days, Cook felt a chill in his heart. The workload was not low. How could it be possible to adapt so quickly? Is it possible to achieve perfection in such a short time?
But fortunately, they can test it themselves. If there are problems, they can just ask Universe Technology Company to modify and improve it. In addition, they can only hope that Universe Technology Company will not be perfunctory.
"Don't worry, Mr. Cook. If you believe in the strength of our company, you will definitely be satisfied." After all, he was here to give money, Liu Haoyu comforted him kindly.
"Okay! I believe Mr. Liu." Cook sighed.
Just when Liu Haoyu thought that the conversation about this cooperation was over, Cook suddenly said nervously: "Mr. Liu, I want to talk to you about another cooperation here. What do you think?"
Liu Haoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Tell me about it!"
Cook said: "I think your company's artificial intelligence is very suitable for use in autonomous driving of cars. What do you think, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Haoyu nodded slightly and agreed: "I think so too. I understand what Mr. Cook means. He wants to cooperate with us on automatic driving of cars, right?"
"Yes, that's what I meant."
Cook showed a mean smile, nodded and said: "Mr. Liu should know that our Apple company intends to enter the automobile industry, and has recruited many talents in the automobile industry and conducted research for several years. Our research direction is electric plus autonomous driving, and we have already achieved considerable results.”
"The most important part of a self-driving car is the self-driving system. I can cooperate with you and help you develop the most perfect self-driving system, but I have two requirements." Liu Haoyu said calmly. If Cook agreed to this condition, he wouldn't mind cooperating with him on cars just for fun. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't bother to do anything about cars.
"Oh, which two conditions?" Cook asked with slight interest.
Liu Haoyu extended his first finger: "First, I will use our company's existing artificial intelligence technology to develop and perfect the most advanced and perfect autonomous driving system within ten days, but you must complete it within two days. Procedures to put it on the market within a few months.”
Cook was stunned when he heard Liu Haoyu's first condition.
It would be on the market within two months. Isn’t this a fantasy?
He said with some embarrassment: "Is this too fast? The test alone will not take long. You see, there are so many companies researching autonomous driving, and they are still too early to go on the market!"
Liu Haoyu shook his head: "That's because the technology of the self-driving car they developed is not very good! Of course it's still early for it to be put on the market, and I can develop a perfect self-driving system that will never be used in life. If something goes wrong, you can test this.”
"Of course I believe in your technology." Cook said helplessly: "But I'm worried that it won't pass the review."
Liu Haoyu looked contemptuous: "Aren't you, the United States, very lenient in this regard? With the energy of your company and the perfect self-driving car, how could it not pass!"
"This is not a trivial matter after all!" Cook defended.
Liu Haoyu shrugged and said: "You can let them review it however they want. If the car's autonomous driving quality passes the standard, they have no reason to refuse."
Cook looked confused, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can give it a try, but what's your second request?"
