Although Tim Cook had previously offered so relatively aggressive suggestions, perhaps due to his nature, he felt uneasy about the overly aggressive strategies discussed by the board over the past five months, and ultimately decided to support Jeff Williams in taking over the leadership.
Maybe deep down, Tim Cook was still not convinced, and he wanted to see if the global market would really undergo a drastic change.
After all, according to the contract, Jeff Williams is only acting as a temporary replacent for one year, and whether he can secure his position as CEO will ultimately depend on whether his performance within the year satisfies the board. Ti will prove everything.
However, on this day, an era of legend would finally co to an end.
Yet no one knew that the reason for the legend's early curtain call was a fear deep in his heart.
...
Without a doubt, the news of Tim Cook's departure and Apple's change of leadership made headlines as the biggest news in the civilized world today.
Even in Huaxia, it was no different.
Unfortunately, California ti is 16 hours behind Huaxia ti. Apple Inc. officially released the news at ten in the morning, so by the ti it reached Huaxia, it was already past two in the morning.
Nevertheless, it still excited quite a few people.
Even though at this hour, the majority of normal people would have already been asleep, and among those who weren't asleep, most were not interested in the news, they wouldn't even be active online.
Whether it's Apple or Youwei, those who debated online the rits and derits of these companies' products, no matter how miserably this group portrayed themselves, were already worry-free about food and clothing.
Those worried about making a living simply didn't have the energy to care about how a magnate's departure thousands of miles away might affect the so-called industry.
They might not have even heard the na Tim Cook.
However, when the sun rose in Huaxia the next day, the news inevitably exploded online, dominating the hot search on nearly all public domain traffic.
After more than a decade, Tim Cook finally retired, and for countless Apple fans, a new face had finally erged.
They say a new official fires up three asures upon taking office, so surely this year's Apple tech gala needed to unveil sothing eye-catching, right?
Last year's iPhone 15 really left much to be desired.
To put it bluntly, 'squeezing the paste out of the tube' hadn't ever seen such skimpiness. In this regard, Intel, normally the master of stinginess, seed generous compared to Apple. One might even think Apple belonged to the list of high-tech companies under sanctions.
Unfortunately, this news didn't set the Xilin Mathematical Research Institute ablaze.
In the entire institute, there currently were no Apple users.
It wasn't that the institute had any special requirents, mainly because everyone had free phones that were pretty good to use, so unless there was a particular need, no one would specifically go out and buy an Apple phone.
Even Hanna used Youwei's phone. Theoretically, Youwei's phones couldn't use Google's set of services, which wasn't user-friendly for her.
But that was just theoretical.
There were many geniuses in the institute, and with a little tweaking, it wouldn't affect anything. It was rely about installing the Higo service frawork.
For Qiao Ze, it was even more so.
It was just that in the morning when he t Su Mucheng, she ntioned, "Qiao, did you see? Tim Cook voluntarily resigned."
Then he just nodded and replied, "Oh."
Qiao Ze had never dealt with Tim Cook, only having t with the president of Apple's Greater Huaxia once.
That manager surnad Cheng gave Qiao Ze an impression that remains, and from one remark made at the dinner table, he gained a bit of inspiration. It was from that ti he began publishing one paper after another in "Mathematics Annual," so in this regard, he should thank Manager Cheng.
Right, there was also the Qiuzhi Scholarship from the School of Mathematics that was sponsored by Apple Inc.
A rather decent person.
After that, there was no further contact.
He heard that negotiations with Xilin Licheng had occurred a few tis, but in the end, the two sides didn't reach a cooperation agreent.
Su Lixing conducted business very reasonably, valuing the order of first co, first served.
Hence, with only these ties to Apple, Qiao Ze wasn't interested in Apple's change of leadership.
However, today indeed brought so good news.
Upon turning on the computer, Dou Dou sent him a ssage: the results of the supercomputing calculation were out and had been directly sent to his email.
Qiao Ze opened it and knew imdiately that his direction was not wrong.
In other words, the research paper could be concluded.
Even though he had a clear plan for the direction of future research, the fact that a problem he had pondered over for years could finally be concluded still made Qiao Ze feel a hint of loss.
Yes, there was no excitent, just loss.
It was like finally finishing a beloved novel, that subtle sense of loss, wishing the story could have been a bit longer.
Or perhaps if this problem had been a little more challenging...
But unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
Already seated comfortably, Su Mucheng sensed that Qiao Ze's mood seed off, and curiously asked, "What's wrong, Qiao? You don't seem happy?"
Qiao Ze took another look at the result, silently integrating the known quantity into the equation in his mind, proving that it indeed balanced, before saying, "My doctoral thesis is complete."
"Ah? It's finished? That's fantastic..." Su Mucheng was about to clap, but seeing Qiao Ze's lancholic mood, she asked in confusion, "Um... isn't this sothing to be happy about?"
Even though Su Mucheng wasn't a Ph.D. candidate yet, many around her were.
If Liu Chenfeng's doctoral thesis advisor could pass it, he would probably be so excited that he'd jump up, right?
