"I think it's time for the company to start considering a successor to Tim Cook. The market environment and external factors we are facing now are vastly different from those of ten years ago. Apple no longer needs just to maintain its position, it has entered an era where innovation is needed again."
"Hah, Davis, I always thought you were a staunch Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! Has your friendship ended? Honestly, I never expected you to call me specifically to talk about this matter."
"No, I've never been anyone's Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! All of my decisions are made based on the current reality. And the facts have proven that I'm right, Cook did achieve remarkable success after taking the helm at Apple, but the fact that he can no longer lead Apple's further development is also true."
"I'm glad you think so. Then, at the board meeting next week, you can express your opinion on this matter, and I will agree. At least on this point, our views are aligned."
"Alright, goodbye then."
After hanging up the phone, Davis Scarna looked at Tim Cook, who was sitting opposite him with an expressionless face, and said, "Well, Tim, this is the last thing I can do for you. At least you're not a deserter."
"Thank you, Davis," Tim Cook nodded.
"Now let's talk about something serious. Even you have no faith in Apple's future?" Davis asked earnestly.
"No, as you said, I'm just no longer suitable for Apple as it is now."
Tim Cook shook his head slightly and said seriously, "I don't know how to describe this feeling..."
After a pause, Tim Cook continued, "Innovation has never been a concept, but a series of risks taken over and over again. You know, I don't like taking risks, not at all! What I love is the feeling that everything is under control. But now, Apple must start taking risks again."
As his voice faded, Davis also fell into contemplation.
He agreed with Tim Cook, but finding someone to replace him was not easy, given that the guy was leaving.
Not to mention the potential chaos that could ensue from a two-trillion-dollar company suddenly changing its leader.
Ah, the troubles of the autumn season!
At the same time, meetings at various technology companies had also concluded.
Of course, these tech-savvy individuals could never have imagined that posting Dou Dou on Weibo was not merely a test.
It was just an excuse used by Yu Hongwei.
And certainly not to cover up so-called technical flaws.
It was merely a little girl who felt that the timing of Apple's announcement of a collaboration with Open AI wasn't quite right, leading to her being in a bad mood.
So on a whim, she threw her little toy onto Weibo to steal the limelight from these two tech companies.
Just like how a butterfly continuously flapping its wings at Amazon could potentially stir up a massive tornado in America, a little girl from Huaxia's whims could cause a seismic shift in the global tech community—it made sense.
Of course, Su Mucheng probably never imagined that her temper could make the president and CEO of the universe's number one high-tech company consider stepping down, and even make a group of tech company executives begin to ponder a shift in technology.
