Volume II, The Green Years 300, The Arrangement of Apples
The place Steve arranged was a three-Michelin-starred hotel.
He was very angry, and Merrill Lynch's people called to say that the acquirer wanted to see him, and he was angry at that time, scolding Merrill Lynch for being a traitor and scolding Apple's sensible rats.
"Hey, Steve, don't you want to know who you lost to?"
"Shit, I didn't lose to anyone, I just lost to money. ”
"Well, don't you want to hear what the other person has to say?"
"A bunch of Orientals who only know how to plagiarize, I don't believe they can say anything, do they want to change apples into fruit wholesalers?"
Jack was helpless, he knew Steve's temper, and he had heard some of the prejudice against Orientals, but he didn't expect it to be so deep!
"It's your right not to see each other, okay, I'll help you reject the other party. ”
"Wait, if they're willing to give us the apple back, I can talk. ”
Jack couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Steve, with all due respect, can you come up with that much money? Even if you sell your Disney stock, it won't be enough. ”
"I have a friend, his name is Bill, and I think he will support my decision. ”
"Steve, I won't help you spread such words, because the other party also paid a lot of money to buy Apple, if you agree to meet, I think with your talent and eloquence, you can try to convince the other party. ”
Yi Shaofeng also figured out the foreigner's temper, so he didn't arrive early, but pinched the time to come.
Foreigners are like this, if you arrive early to wait for him, he will say: I am not late, instead of saying like the Chinese: I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting.
He was still early, maybe Steve waited until he showed up before showing up.
"Hello Steve. ”
"Oh my god, I'm sorry, I wanted to ask, are you weaned?"
After saying that, Steve himself laughed there.
He wasn't angry either, and waited for Steve's laughter to stop before he said:
"I'm really not worth it for Apple, it's not worth it for you, I was actually bought by a stinky kid, but I was even more defeated. ”
"What did you say?"
Steve glared at his eagle-sharp eyes, and his nose, which was originally slightly red, turned even redder with anger.
He didn't bother to engage in a verbal battle with Steve.
He took a file bag from Rebus's hand and handed it to Steve.
When Rebus heard that he was going to see Steve, he mainly applied for the position of assistant, as Steve was the god in his heart.
Macintosh, 1984, everyone who works in the IT industry, everyone knows it, and the person who created them was a man named Steve.
Suspiciously, Steve picked up the file bag he had pushed over from the table.
When I took a look at it, the more I looked at it, the more I wanted to see it, and the more I looked at it, the bigger my eyes became.
"What is this?"
"This is a gadget developed by our domestic company, of course, many of them can only be models at present, of course, I have applied for patents, including country M. ”
Steve watched it for half an hour before he reluctantly put it down.
"It's a joke, your patents can't be turned into products, because you need to use a lot of Apple patents. ”
"I know, that's why I'm buying Apple. ”
He said it very lightly.
Steve doesn't seem to have accepted Apple's change of ownership.
"Even if you own Apple, the board members will not agree to give you these patents, this is not your East, the boss is a word, the board of directors can use legal means to restrain you at any time. ”
He smiled, pulled out his phone, and shook it in front of Steve.
"Ten minutes ago, when I first arrived, Apple held a board meeting and passed a resolution to swap patents with Fengrui, which I think will soon be included in Apple's white paper and retained as a permanent system. ”
"Shame on you!"
Steve stood up and looked at him, his face trembling, and he was worried that he would grit his teeth.
After a long time, Steve roared and said:
"As long as I'm at Apple for a day, I won't agree to your recklessness. ”
"Steve, I'm here today to convince you that we should work together and believe that together we will create the greatest product in the world. ”
Steve calmed down and looked at him sarcastically.
"I can agree, but only if you turn your complexion white. ”
He shook his head slightly.
"That's not to talk about. ”
Steve didn't say anything, but the sneer on his face was even louder.
He turned his head to look at Rebus, and Steve nervous when he saw his action, not understanding his intentions.
After about five minutes, Rebus nodded at him.
"Steve, the board of directors has just made a decision to remove you as CEO, and I don't think there's any need for you to go back and pack your belongings. ”
With that, he got up and left, ignoring Steve, who was cursing loudly.
Sitting in the car, he didn't call the driver to drive at the first time.
He sighed softly, a look of disappointment on his face.
"Yi Dong, I thought that you wanted to see Steve because you wanted to continue to use him. ”
"Haha, of course I want to use it, but a person like him, it doesn't work to ask for words softly, if he wants to, even if my attitude is worse today, he will agree, so I don't need to wronged myself. In fact, before I came, I knew that this trip would not end well. ”
"Then you ......"
"Of course I thought about what happened, and I also wanted to meet him, no matter how much I ignored him, he was a legendary genius. ”
Back at the hotel, Qu Xiaotang only glanced at him, knew the result, and comforted softly:
"We can't have everything going well, we can't use all the talents for you, as long as there is a remedy. ”
He nodded slightly, agreeing with her.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Andy and Lin Changjun, who had gone to Apple's board meeting, came back.
Then he called Rebus, and for Apple's follow-up arrangements, he held a small meeting in the room.
"Apple's technical director, with Andy as the director, will take up immediately. Apple's CEO is temporarily served by Lin Changjun, and Mr. Lin also has to look for a candidate, after all, you are not professional, so it is not good for you to stay in this position for a long time. ”
Lin Changjun thinks so, laymen lead insiders, and this industry is taboo.
The first is that outsiders make random ideas, and the other is that even if insiders deviate from the route or make some small movements, the upper-level laymen will not be able to find out.
"Mr. Lin, the board of directors will be convened again in two days, since we have acquired Apple, we must do something to boost their confidence. ”
"In this way, you go and announce that I will inject 1 billion M in the near future, on the one hand, to subsidize the dividends that shareholders have not received in the past two years, and secondly, to announce that it will be used for the research and development of Apple's new technology products, and the new generation of products includes the iPad and mobile phones we have formulated. ”
After the two left, he sat in his place, thinking.
The two major application systems of mobile phones in the last generation are now in their own hands, which can be regarded as monopolizing the software of mobile phones, so will there be a third widely used mobile phone system?
