Chapter 1076 Unlucky Cook 12/17]

"Mr. President!" Sitting in Tristoff's car, the unlucky guy looked at the other party with some concern.

"Tell me, which department you belong to and what your name is!" It was obviously morning, but Christopher rubbed his eyes tiredly and asked.

"My name is Tim Cook, and I am the deputy manager of the procurement department, responsible for the procurement of parts and inventory management!" Tim Cook replied. [PS: Tim Cook in history was working as a procurement work at Compaq Computer at this time.]

"Tell me, as a member of Motorola, why do you spend money on Daqian's mobile phone?" Christopher felt that he couldn't be angry.

Originally, he saw that Daqian 2's sales were booming, and he was almost irritated. But the result was that someone came to compete with him for the Global Connect version of the mobile phone, but this person was actually an employee of his company!

A Motorola employee was willing to add $100 to buy Daqian’s mobile phone. Are you thinking that Christopher was about to get angry?

Christoph has actually been so angry that he has left the explosion area and has already flown to the sky.

"Mr. President, I actually use our Motorola mobile phone. The reason why I bought this Daqian mobile phone is just my job requirement, not because I like Daqian mobile phone myself!" Tim Cook quickly defended himself, and at the same time took out another mobile phone from his pocket to prove that he was a red heart to Motorola.

"Work, this is such a big joke!" Christoph couldn't help laughing. "Why do you need a Daqian mobile phone when you work for Motorola? Are you also a person from the R&D department, and want to buy a mobile phone and disassemble it?"

"Mr. President, I am indeed not from the R&D department, but our purchasing department also needs a suitable mobile phone. I am responsible for purchasing various parts of Motorola, and I will take a plane to China this morning."

"But all the communication base stations in China are in CDMA format! Our Motorola does not have a CDMA format mobile phone. In order to make calls normally in China, I have to buy a CDMA format mobile phone. This is really my job requirement!" Tim Cook defended.

"Nonsense!" Christopher was angry. "Even if you really need a CMDA format mobile phone, can't you buy mobile phones from other brands? Even if you buy a Nokia mobile phone, you can go over to buy Daqian's mobile phone. Do you know how painful it was for Daqian to mess with us last year? You actually bought Daqian's mobile phone!"

"Sir, I bought Daqian mobile phones to save money for the company. Among all the CDMA-format mobile phones, Daqian mobile phones are the cheapest. In order not to waste the company's funds, I certainly have to choose to buy the cheapest mobile phone!"

"You actually used public expenses to buy Daqian's mobile phones!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Tim Cook said this, Christopher exploded even more.

Good guy, this guy doesn’t even say that he buys a big-money mobile phone, but he still uses public expenses to buy a big-money mobile phone. Is there anything more disgusting than this in the world?

"Sir, I just joined the company three months ago, so I am not very clear about that matter, but I only know that working for the company should save every penny for the company, so I decided to buy the cheapest Daqian mobile phone. I was considering it for the benefit of the company!!" Tim Cook became more and more excited as he spoke, and his whole aura became more and more powerful.

Originally, Tim Cook had a clear conscience, and now he is still being interrogated by the president like this, so of course he must have momentum.

"You...you..." Christopher was angry and anxious, but it sounded like the other party was really considering the company. Christopher paused for a long time before thinking about something, and immediately said angrily, "If you just want to buy a CDMA-format mobile phone, why can't you buy an ordinary one, which costs only $1,200, and you have to buy a Global Pass version with an additional $1,000!"

"Report to the president, because all the American Daqian mobile phones are GSM versions, there is no CDMA format for sale at all!"

"Then you buy it when you arrive in China!"

"Because you can't reimburse your purchases in China." This time, Tim Cook's momentum was a little lowered.

He thought he could go to China to buy a cheaper GSM version of Daqian 2, but Motorola's rules and regulations are relatively rigid, and only by buying a mobile phone in the United States can he be reimbursed.

If you go on a business trip to other countries and buy any valuables, you will not be able to reimburse the company. Although Tim Cook is very loyal to the company, he is not so loyal that he has to use his own money to spend the company. Therefore, buying a Global Edition mobile phone locally in the United States is naturally the best choice.

"I never knew the company had such regulations!" Christopher said angrily.

"President, although there is indeed no explicit regulation, this is an unspoken rule on the finance side!" Tim Cook explained.

"Enough!" Christoph scolded, "I'll ask you again, what do you want to go on a business trip to China? Is Motorola going to China to purchase parts?"

"That's right, Mr. President, I have a few friends working at Nokia. They secretly told me that many of the parts of Nokia are produced in China now, and the prices are relatively low, which can save a lot of costs!"

"So I plan to go to China for inspection and find those low-priced parts to reduce the production cost of our products!" Tim Cook said. "I applied for this matter to the superior department and approved it!"

"Haha, Tim, have you heard this? It's called cheap but no good stuff!"

"How can a country like China, which is poor and backward and has a poor system, produce mobile phone parts?"

"Even if you can really produce a few less important parts, and the price is really low as you said. I think that is also a low-quality product. Such products are not beneficial to our Motorola mobile phones except to reduce the quality of our products and destroy our reputation!"

"Our Motorola mobile phone is the best mobile phone in the world, and the United States is the most advanced country in the world. Instead of looking for higher-quality products in the United States, you go to China to buy some inferior products. What are you worried about?" Christopher said angrily.

"No, sir, this is not the case. I have conducted a survey. Huaxia can produce qualified parts. Otherwise, Daqian's first-generation mobile phones will not be sold smoothly for one year, and there will be no major quality problems. Their parts basically say "Made in a.", which shows that Huaxia can also produce excellent quality and cheap parts. I am really considering it for the company!"

"Enough! Get out of the car!" Christopher was completely impatient. He asked the driver to stop the car and pushed Tim Cook down.

"Sir, will I still go to China?" Looking at Christopher who was angry in the car, Tim Cook asked again without knowing his life.

"You can go, but don't come back when you go!" Christoph said coldly, and the car left, leaving a man on the side of the road, accompanied by the summer wind, with the messy Tim Cook.

"I have to go to China!" Tim Cook said with gritted teeth. In the afternoon of that day, Motorola received a letter of resignation from Tim Cook. Because Tim Cook has only been three months since he joined the company, there is not much trouble in resigning, and the two parties quickly terminated their labor contracts.

Tim Cook took his own money to fly to the distant China.

Six months later, Jobs, who planned to adjust Apple's procurement department, remembered that he had a friend named Tim Cook who was a good player in procurement, so he took the initiative to invite him.
