Chapter 147: Pebbles on the Ideal Path
In the early morning of the next day, Wang gradually came to the office in low spirits.
Of course, this is because he studied the data of the Apple computer carefully last night, and not because of anything else.
However, this time, unlike Nokia, which is backed by ATT, its current situation is too miserable.
Since 1993, the three major rating agencies have continuously downgraded Apple's stock until it became a junk stock completely last year.
In an effort to save investor confidence, Apple brought back the company's founder, Steve?? Mr. Jobs.
But it was the founder who announced at the press conference that Apple would stick to its own operating system and would not switch to the current mainstream Windows system.
This made investors who were expecting a change another big disappointment, and when the Nasdaq listed Apple's sales order, there was no one to take over.
However, Jobs is also ruthless, and he even used the excuse of "patent infringement" in the hope of taking such a bite from the giant Microsoft.
And Microsoft, which is currently starting a "browser war" with Netscape, is actually like that!
"150 million US dollars, how easy is the money?" Wang gradually looked at the news briefing, and he was envious of his real name.
At this time, Tom walked into the office, "King, Apple's representative has arrived. β
Wang gradually put down the document and stood up, "Let's go, let's go and get in touch with this declining giant." β
As he and Tom walked through the conference room, Dorsey was talking to a skinny white man.
When they saw Wang gradually coming, they hurriedly got up, and Dorsey pointed to the apple representative opposite, "Wang, this is an old acquaintance." β
The skinny white man smiled and stretched out his hand, "I used to work for IBM's PC department, and some of your company's computer equipment was sold through me. β
Well?
Apple has done a survey on the website and sent someone who has dealt with it in the past to be responsible for communication?
Wang gradually recalled the offer that almost made him cry at that time, "You are..."
"Tim?? Cook. The other party smiled and responded, "At that time, I never imagined that your website could grow to such a scale in less than a year." β
To be honest, in the face of this electronic company that is about to go bankrupt, Wang gradually still has a bit of a psychological advantage.
As he walked to the main seat of the conference room, he casually asked, "How did you end up jumping from IBM to Apple, with all due respect, after all, you are a bit now..."
"Isn't it good?" Cook replied without hesitation, "I wonder Mr. Wang, have you seen the press conference of Mr. Jobs' return to Apple?"
"One of his words that struck me deeply was: technology changes the world, and Apple will be the first mover. β
Looking at Cook, who was as fanatical as a religious activist, Wang gradually tried to make a touched expression.
Although I scoff at dreams and whatever, dealing with idealists couldn't be better!
Cook looked at Wang's expression and took a deep breath, "I think Mr. Wang must be able to understand the romance of this unique technology person, after all, we are different from the hyenas on Wall Street." β
"Of course. Wang gradually pointed to the dark circles on his face, "When I thought that I was going to cooperate with Mr. Jobs to lead Apple today, I couldn't sleep last night when I was so excited." β
Then, he sighed helplessly, "But our website has Goldman Sachs Investment, the project leader named Lyman, who simply recognizes money but not people!"
Hearing this, Cook nodded with deep understanding, "Yes, those hyenas even drove Mr. Jobs out of Apple in pursuit of profits." β
"But now everything is different. Cook pulled out a small device, "This is an upgraded version of the audio player under the auspices of Mr. Jobs." β
"I firmly believe that it will completely disrupt the audio market today. β
Wang gradually took over the equipment and compared it with the prototype he had gotten.
Smaller and lighter.
After playing with it for a while, he put down the device, "I have no doubt about Mr. Jobs's judgment on the market, and our cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation." β
"Of course. Cook opened the package and handed Wang a document, "Apple will buy a small music company in New York and upgrade its recording studio." β
"And your website only needs to provide the relevant work authorization, and you can get 50% of the audio download revenue. β
Wang gradually flipped through the papers, his brows furrowed slightly.
"This audio download site is absolutely controlled by Apple?"
Cook also flipped to the relevant file, "Well, yes. β
Hell, idealists, all tm are acting schools!
Wang gradually tapped his fingers on the table, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I think that paid audio has a certain impact on paid reading, which should be detrimental to the interests of the website." β
Cook pretended to be surprised, "But the authorization we need to get is all finished works." β
Wang gradually took the document handed by Tom, "This is the monthly income that websites and authors can get after the end of "Arcane Throne". β
"We also have a vital interest in this. β
Cook looked at the file with a look of sudden realization, "Then I can report to the top and increase the share ratio by some of them." β
Asking for a price all over the world, sitting on the ground and paying back, right?
Wang gradually closed the folder, "I don't know, when will Apple's audio player be launched, and how many music companies will be licensed?"
"I think Apple's first product after welcoming Mr. Jobs' return will not be very low, right?"
He turned his head to look at Tom and said as if unintentionally, "I borrowed your MD player to listen to music yesterday, and it worked very well." β
Then, Wang gradually turned his head to look at Cook again, smiled and asked, "Or, Apple is going to learn from Sony to buy a large music company?" I just don't know how much time the investors will give Mr. Jobs?"
At this time, Cook was no longer an idealist at all, and he stared at Wang gradually for a while.
Then, Cook smiled and tossed the folder on his desk into the trash can in the conference room, and took out another document from his bag.
"Sorry, I got the wrong file. Cook said casually, "I don't think Mr. Wang will blame me for my carelessness, right?"
Hell, you're careless!
"How could it be?" Wang gradually took the document and read it carefully, and replied casually, "After all, there will be some small stones on the road of chasing ideals." β
Musk, who watched a series of actions by the Apple representative and the young writer, was in a trance for a moment.
Didn't they just talk about science and technology and ideals?
It's changing too fast, isn't it?!
He glanced up at Wang Yan, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
