620 Be in tune with the times

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, which is probably the case with the description.

When leaving Wang Yufei's office and going to go through the process for review and physical examination, Love Dracula couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and swipe the Forbes list of the world's richest people every once in a while.

At present, the hundredth place is still American, Thomas Peter. Of course, it doesn't matter which country people are, the key is that his wealth is 15.8 billion US dollars.

If Wang Yufei's promise is fulfilled, then he will be a proper billionaire, which is what he is pursuing.

Private jets are no longer enough for him. Or he can buy a piece of land in his hometown, build a seaside estate, buy a yacht, and open a paty in the sea when the wind is good, and meet the rising sun on the sea level if he is willful......

Yes, this is the good life that Love Dracula is after.

At this time, he didn't bother to think about it, and Huaxia also gave him a nice name as a transnational interest broker, comprador.

Below the fact that he is about to become a comprador like this, Love Dracula feels very happy.

To his satisfaction, everything went smoothly as well.

Soon, he went from a retired former secretary general of the Quantum Computing Technology Alliance to the head of the future development strategy department of Yuxin Technology.

The only regret is probably that he is still the commander of the light pole.

Because before his arrival, the company did not set up this department.

However, at Wang Yufei's personal request, the work efficiency of the administrative department is still extremely high

After Valent Dracula spent half a day completing all the pre-employment procedures, his exclusive office and the exclusive office area of the strategy department have been divided, and the business card has been designed for him, which looks very high-end and has a unified LOGO, and then his name, the position below, and finally a phone number.

Simple and atmospheric, with a hint of Zen fragrance.

Well, that makes up for some of Love's Dracula's frustration.

But it's not a big problem, the person who will go back to negotiate this time is completely arranged by him, which is actually not bad. He can find a law firm with strong business capabilities when he arrives in the United States.

Although the initial capital is only 100,000 US dollars, it may not be enough, after all, this is a very large negotiation, and he needs to hire many elite people with strong business skills as his assistants, but it doesn't matter, he can personally pay a part of it in advance.

The five million dollars promised by the league after retirement are still lying in his account, and it is enough to take out a part of it to form an elite team that will serve him completely in the short term.

Not to mention that he has the upper hand in this negotiation.

At this moment, Love Dracula was in high spirits.

A day later, everything was ready, and Wang Yufei also called Love Dracula to the office to personally do the final mobilization before seeing him off.

There is only one sentence for mobilization.

"There must be laughter in all tragedies, and I am sure you can make us laugh to the end. I'm optimistic about you. ”

......

While Love Dracula was making preparations for the next day's departure, Tim Cook had just finalized the itinerary with his secretary.

After spending a day arranging the group's affairs, he will take a special plane to China.

Unlike Love Dracula? Is it a requirement for Tim Cook to travel on his own private jet? This is mainly for safety and time saving reasons. And all the expenses incurred as a result are reimbursed by the company.

This is true, and it is written directly in Apple's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Of course, the explanation for this is? "Reasonable and necessary expenses for the benefit of Apple. ”

From this, it can be seen that Apple values and trusts Tim Cook.

In fact, Tim Cook is indeed worthy of this attention and trust.

For example, Apple became the largest company in the universe in the hands of Tim Cook? At the same time, Apple also became the first company in the history of the U.S. stock market to exceed a trillion dollars in the history of the U.S. stock market, and for a long time? It has always occupied the position of the world's largest company by market capitalization.

It's really hard.

Not everyone can do this.

For example, Intel, which was already popular before Apple, can't do it, and Microsoft, which once sold the operating system to every corner of the world? Advertising alone is a big deal? And then Google, which is not doing its job and stirring everywhere, is also not good.

Yes, there is only one reason why a company's board of directors can be so considerate of a CEO, and that CEO brings enough benefits to the board bosses.

How does it compare to the value Tim Cook has created for Apple? Private jet costs are only a drop in the bucket? And it saves time and increases efficiency, so why not?

Of course, Apple's situation in the past two years has indeed been worrying.

But everyone knows that this is a non-war crime.

In fact, now that Apple can have a stable profitability, everyone knows that it is not easy.

After losing the once proud IOS, in the face of Huaxia enterprises and Samsung Electronics aggressively in recent years, can the market still stabilize in the third? On the premise of ensuring profits, it is indeed not easy to not have much gap with the top two.

It also highlights Tim Cook's abilities.

But in the case of quantum computers? It is no longer something that can be replaced by individual ability.

Other manufacturers are using quantum computers to replace manual programming work, which is a huge cost saving? If Apple doesn't follow up, it will naturally fall behind in the competition. And now quantum computers are down? Directly choked the lifeline.

It can only be said that an era has the rules of an era? The new industrial revolution has begun to turn everything upside down.

After more than ten hours of busyness? Tim Cook sat quietly on his plane.

There were no documents on the desk.

The issues that need his attention have been dealt with, and opinions have been given, and he must make a fate-changing decision to go to Huaxia this time.

But so far, he has not made up his mind.

Unlike Love Dracula, he doesn't have much of a sense of money and status.

After all, as Apple's CEO, Tim Cook is already one of the people in the world who stand at the top of the pyramid.

And he's really not short of money.

Even if he retires now, the money he has earned will be spent in his life.

So Tim Cook's question is, what if Wang Yufei threatens him with Apple's future?

If he refuses to join Yuxin Technology, he will not consider re-signing the contract with Apple, which also means that Apple's quantum computer will be suspended indefinitely. If this happens, the former No. 1 company in the universe may not last long.

In the past two years, due to the pressure on profitability, Apple's cash flow is no longer as abundant as it once was.

The timing of the quantum computer shutdown directly determines the release time of new products, and it is impossible to go without new products for a year, even if it drags on for several months, it can lose countless customers, and make the already difficult situation even worse.

So what should he do?

......

Wang Yufei sat in the car.

The car was parked inside the airport and he came to pick him up.

This is the first time he has been to the airport to pick up people, which can be regarded as a courtesy for talents.

That's right, he picked up Tim Cook this time.

It is not the first time that Tim Cook has come to China since he arrived in Beijing, but this time perhaps this professional manager with rich management experience may become his right-hand man, and in order to increase the probability of success, he finally decided to come to the airport to pick up the plane in person.

The time is also very good.

After waiting for about five minutes, Tim Cook's plane had already landed in the airport, and then under the guidance of the tower, it drove to the area that had been planned for a long time.

There was one thing Tim Cook didn't pretend to be sentimental.

Wang Yufei really wanted to keep him in Yuxin Technology.

The current Apple CEO is 62 years old but in good health.

According to Wang Yufei's idea, it is not a big problem for him to continue to work in Yuxin Technology for eight years.

Eight years later, even if Tim Cook retires, Yuxin Technology's foundation is thick enough. Moreover, these eight years are enough time for the company to train itself, or to find a professional manager whose ability and character can meet the requirements of Yuxin Technology.

In terms of employing people, Wang Yufei hopes to prefer shortage to excess.

An excellent professional manager can not only completely free him from the daily management of the company, but more importantly, make the company's use of capital more reasonable and speed up the layout in order to achieve the goal.

Of course, the premise is that he can make people stay in Huaxia willingly.

So Tim Cook has thought a little too much, Wang Yufei did not intend to keep him by threatening Apple.

Of course, as Wang Yufei promised Tim Cook on the phone, if he is really willing to join Yuxin Technology, then he can open up to Apple in the next negotiations for quantum computers.

This is also the reason why Wang Yufei personally picked up the airport in person.

People, after all, are about feelings.

Cao Cao can still meet him.

At least this Apple boss doesn't need to look twice.

Tim Cook was also surprised, because he had just stepped out of the cabin door and saw Wang Yufei standing under the gangway and smiling at him.

This...... Hello, Mr. Cook, we'll meet again after a year or two. ”

As soon as he stepped down the gangway, Wang Yufei said enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Cook, we will meet again after a two-year absence." ”

Stepping down the steps, Tim Cook had already sorted out his mood: "Yes, time flies quickly, isn't it?"

The two smiled and clasped their hands together, and the accompanying secretary brought by Wang Yufei immediately picked up the camera and recorded this historic moment.

This photo is very precious and definitely excellent news material.

The news of Yuxin Technology's poaching on the Internet has already spread to China.

Even the news that Tim Cook may have recently traveled to Huaxia has been spread, but this time Tim Cook's itinerary is still in a state of secrecy, although there are rumors on the Internet that the Apple president has applied for a route to Huaxia, but did not specify the specific time, so it can still only be regarded as speculation.

But when the picture got out, everything was hammered.

Yes, Wang Yufei plans to do so.

He not only wants to announce Yuxin Technology's thirsty posture, the company is also fully prepared for the next public opinion guidance, at least there will be countless calls for Tim Cook to stay in Huaxia on the Internet in China.

Through this, Tim Cook felt the friendliness and hospitality of the Chinese people.

People are always social animals, and anyone can be emotionally affected by public opinion, whether it is a big guy or an ordinary person.

The difference is nothing more than that the big guy may be more determined, so he needs a number of measures to promote the transformation of his mentality.

Just to make everything seem more natural, Yuxin Technology did not notify the media directly.

Since Apple said that it wants the itinerary to be kept secret for the time being, of course they have to cooperate.

"We've got the hotel ready for you, you take a break, and then we'll have lunch. Wang Yufei said.

"I slept on the plane, and now I am in good spirits, so I might as well visit the headquarters of Yuxin Technology first. Tim Cook said happily.

"Okay!" Wang Yufei replied very crisply.

......

The road from the airport to the headquarters of Yuxin Technology is still making preparations for the full implementation of unmanned autonomous driving, so it is not an unmanned car that picks up the airport this time.

However, the spacious business vehicle has its own soundproofing facilities, and a door completely separates the driver and passengers, so you can talk about something.

So when the car drove out of the airport, Tim Cook couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Mr. Wang, you said that you want me to join Yuxin Technology seriously?"

"Of course I'm serious, otherwise you think I'll pick you up at the airport in person?" Wang Yufei's answer was very straightforward, even utilitarian, and full of pride.

Translated from the prophecy of the mall, there are no big customers in this world who deserve to be picked up by me in person.

But Tim Cook can't argue with that.

Because it seems that this is indeed the case.

This is true of monopoly business, especially one that relies purely on technology.

The most terrifying thing is that this kind of monopoly business can control the lifeblood of friendly businessmen.

"Why?" Tim Cook then asked.

Of course, Wang Yufei could understand why this had several meanings, but he just smiled and said: "This question, let's talk about it when we get to the company, some things are more convincing to see with our own eyes." ”

Tim Cook nodded.

The car has driven into the city, and Wang Yufei began to introduce some changes in the capital in the past two years with Tim Cook with great interest.

"Mr. Cook, you see, it used to be a gas station, and now it is being converted into an automatic guided charging station, and 537 such charging stations have been built within the third ring road of the capital. It does not include private electrical piles that are applied for construction by individuals in the community. This also means that for half a year at most, except for some special vehicles, such as police cars and fire trucks, there are basically no cars that need to be driven manually, and the entire capital will fully enter the era of automatic driving. ”

"Now there will be some subsidy measures for petrol cars on the road, or purchased, or scrapped, and second-hand cars in good condition will most likely be exported to other countries. Because in the future, the whole of China will carry out a new round of road infrastructure transformation for unmanned driving. In the future, almost all the roads in China will be filled with new energy driverless cars, including even the public transportation system. The United States should not have advanced the corresponding construction, right?"

Wang Yufei asked with a smile.
