"The sales of iPhone 5s have dropped significantly, and the sales of iPhone 5c are not as good as the sales of the previous generation iPhone 5 in the same period, let alone compared with xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus."

"Cook, you are a waste. Ever since you became CEO, the iPhone has been getting worse every day!"

"Trash, you still say you want to be Joe's best successor? You are not even one-third as good as Joe, you are a loser!"

"The Apple empire that Joe built with his own hands will be destroyed in your hands!"

"Qiao's achievements of more than ten years of hard work have been ruined by you in just a few years!"

"Cook, Apple's revenue and profits continue to decline, and my stock has shrunk by more than half. It won't be a pity if you die ten thousand times, I will sink you into the Pacific to feed the sharks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two people lifted him up and threw him directly into the sea!

"No!"

"Help!"

Cook shouted loudly, but unfortunately no one listened.

There was a pop.

He was thrown into the ocean, and the waves came and swept him to the bottom of the sea.

Cook choked several times and finally struggled to the surface, trying to swim to the cruise ship.

But they found that the cruise ship had already gone away.

The shareholders on the deck also waved at him, seeming to wish him good luck.

"Fake!"

"Help!"

Cook shouted loudly, but there was no one in the sea ahead.

Only the smell of blood came from behind.

"This is..." Cook's hair stood on end, and he thought of the worst plan for a moment.

Suddenly looking back, the huge bloody mouth opened and swallowed him whole.

"No!"

"No!"

Hysterical exclamations resounded throughout the villa. Cook was frightened and sat up suddenly.

Only then did I realize that it was another nightmare!

In recent days, Cook has been suffering from insomnia and nightmares.

What I dream about is that Apple's sales have plummeted. The combined sales of iPhone 5S and iPhone 5c are not as good as the sales of iPhone 5 in the same period, and they are not as good as the sales of xphone 3 alone.

For this reason, the board of directors became furious and threw him into the sea to feed the sharks, or shot him with an AK...

Each time it was extremely miserable, and they died horribly, and then they woke up from their dreams.

Just like today, my back is soaked with cold sweat!

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper said gently: "Mr. Cook, are you okay?"

"Oh, it's okay."

"I'm right next to you. If you need anything, just call me."

"good."

When the housekeeper returned to his room, he was already used to such things.

This has happened several times in the past week.

He had nothing to say but prayed to the Lord to bless Cook.

Amen!

"Fortunately it was a dream!" Cook breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

Recently, I have been racking my brains to increase sales during the day, and I have been tortured by nightmares at night that I would rather die than live.

It's really enough.

"However, today is the eighth day of iPhone 5s sales, right? The first week sales report should be out..."

"The storm is coming!"

Cook's newly relaxed mood became tense again.

So much so that I didn't sleep at all for the next half of the night.

I couldn't even eat breakfast.

I came to the company headquarters with trepidation, as anxious as a poor student waiting for test results.

This day is a day of judgment for Cook and Apple!

Not only him, but also the marketing department, R&D department, etc. all feel the same way.

But some things cannot be escaped.

Cook came to the conference room anyway, looked around at everyone, and said calmly: "Is the first week sales report out?"

"Here comes the chairman." The marketing director handed over a document, but his hands were shaking a little.

Cook took a deep breath and opened the file, with a complicated look on his face:

“One week after the launch of iPhone 5S, 4 million units were sold worldwide!”

“One week after the iPhone 5c was launched, 2 million units were sold worldwide!”

The good news is that the combined sales of the two phones exceeded the first week sales of iPhone 5.

Last year, after the iPhone 5 went on sale, global sales exceeded 5 million units in the first week.

The bad news is that this year's two models combined, and they were simultaneously launched in many countries such as Xiaguo, barely surpassed last year's.

Cook didn't know what to say for a while.

But at the very least, there should be no need to be fed to sharks, right?

When a CEO like him performs well and can bring profits to shareholders, the capital consortium will be very polite to him and support him.

But if his performance is not outstanding and shareholders suffer heavy losses, capital and financial groups will be ruthless and cruel to him, and even kill him.

As for feelings? Humanity?

As long as capital and consortium pay attention to these things, it will not become capital or consortium.

Even Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, was kicked out many times!

If you need to use him, invite him back.

Not to mention a mere Cook.

It is possible that Apple's sales will seriously decline, its stock price will plummet, and the shareholder consortium will lose tens of billions or hundreds of billions, feeding sharks and dump trucks.

"But how many sales did Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus have in the first week?" Cook couldn't help but ask.

The combined sales of iPhone 5S and iPhone 5c exceed iPhone 5. It can only be said that he has saved his life, but only by comparing with Xingyi mobile phone can he determine his future.

"Xphone 3 sold 3 million units in its first week."

"Xphone 3 Plus sold 4 million units in its first week."

"The two models combined have sold a total of 7 million units, which is only one million units more than our iPhone 5S and iPhone 5c."

"Only one million more units?" Cook even laughed: "The data you are talking about are just the sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus in Xia, right? What about overseas sales?"

"This..." The marketing director hesitated for a while: "Chairman, this is the official data released by Xingyi Technology, which is relatively reliable."

"It's so unreliable!" Cook was furious: "The data they announced are only licensed sales, just normal data. They don't include parallel import sales from overseas sales at all!"

"As for how many parallel imports were sold overseas? A conservative estimate is that 2 million units were sold to consumers in the first week!"

"As a result, the first-week sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3 plus have exceeded 9 million units, which is 1.5 times the total first-week sales of our iPhone 5S and iPhone 5c!"

"this……"

Everyone was shocked. They never expected that there would be so many, 1.5 times that of Apple!

So scary!

"Oh, it's all the fault of the prism door." Cook said with emotion:

"Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus are already better and more powerful than our iPhone 5S, and have better sales in Xia Country. Coupled with the impact of Prism Gate, we were boycotted and sales declined. They were favored and sales soared. Even parallel imports were sold.

It exploded. It’s 1.5 times ours and it’s normal.”

After speaking, Cook fell into silence: "How should we explain to the board of directors such a huge gap?"

What a big head!

Looking at the senior executives, Cook became even more angry:
To be continued...
