"Hello Mr. Joe. ”

"Hello, Mr. Amami. ”

The 1999 Joe Gang Leader and the future Joe Gang Leader felt a little different from each other to Senxia.

Although the future Qiao Gang Leader developed a powerful Apple Kidney Machine, the Qiao Gang Leader at that time had already been tortured by illness for a long time.

But what appeared in front of Sen Xia now was a man in the prime of life full of vitality, his eyes were bright, and his body was far stronger than Sen Xia's impression.

"Congratulations on your return to Apple. ”

Although Joe is back at Apple now, he's not the CEO of Apple right now — and he's back in that position until next year.

However, it is now the end of 1999, and the pace of 2000 is already approaching, and the so-called "next year" is actually coming soon.

Although he has not yet become a CEO, the relevant news has come out, and after the market learned the news, the stock really swished up.

It's noon, and the place where the two of them are located is a high-end restaurant, sitting upstairs by the window, enjoying the winter sunshine while talking about life, which is really a comfortable thing.

Especially with a big guy like Joe's gang leader.

"Thank you," Gang Leader Qiao smiled, "I also wish your product a big sale, and it is really a wise move to choose the Internet mode." ”

Obviously, the Qiao gang leader also knew about the big move that Senxia had made before.

In other words, there are only a few people who don't know what Mori Xia is doing here.

It's a next-generation game console, it's an Internet system, and there's a handheld console.

Well, such a machine is really delicate, at least for now, no one has thought of doing such a game machine.

"I didn't expect this product to spark such a big discussion. ”

While most of the stuff from that launch event is coming out next year, there's no doubt that the product has sparked a lot of discussion.

For now, the news has had a series of repercussions.

And the most direct manifestation is that Sony's PS2 sales during the Christmas holiday are lower than expected.

Before this, Sony felt that it had a great advantage and didn't care at all, but after Christmas, Sony also found out that something was wrong.

But this is useless, because it is almost the end of the year, and during the holidays, all activities are basically suspended, not to mention, Sony has not paid much attention to DC-P, because they have come to the conclusion after analysis: The Order of the Phoenix should be the result of Sega's dumping, and the popularity of the moment has no effect at all, not to mention anything else, whether the Order of the Phoenix can attract third-party software vendors is a question - after all, the so-called Mithril forces, its main force are born in text AVG.

Ten years ago, the profitability of clubs like ELF might have been able to shake up Sony.

But today...... Hehe.

Senxia is very comfortable with this, because Sega itself is indeed throwing the pot, and the arcade department even celebrates it.

But Senxia has also got benefits here, you know, many of these employees accepted by his side are the main development force of XBOX in another world line, without these people, Microsoft now wants to develop an XBOX, I'm afraid it will have to find someone from scratch.

Although the lifelong employment system that is popular here reduces the vitality of enterprises, it will also become more difficult to poach people.

Mori Xia is still very interested in what all this will turn out in the future.

"You're so young, it's hard to imagine that you've only just graduated from high school. "The Qiao gang leader was also surprised by Sen Xia's appearance, and in addition to the relationship between the Easterners and the Westerners, the Qiao gang leader was shocked by this, which was a matter of course.

"I graduated in March," Mori explained, "and being young is not an advantage for the company, because sometimes it's hard to win people's attention because of your age." ”

So sometimes, Sen Xia entrusts things to Sister Aki or others, because although youth is an advantage, it is also a disadvantage.

Well, it's not because you want to be lazy, huh!

"But that concept aside, your product is amazing too," whether it's a polite remark or not, in short, Joe Gang Leader is now complimenting Senxia's side, "especially that XBOX handheld...... Well, cool. ”

I don't know why, when the Qiao gang leader heard "XBOX", he felt that this handheld was quite pleasing to the eye - by the way, when Bill Gaizi stopped at this name, he was inexplicably stuffed for a second.

"I've heard that Apple has also released game consoles before, right?" Sen Xia suddenly thought of this.

However, after hearing Senxia's words, the Qiao gang leader frowned: "It's true, those stupid guys always try to get involved in areas they don't understand, but they don't know that their abilities are extremely limited. ”

Yes, a few years ago, Apple did work with Bandai on a game console called "Pippin", but it didn't work, because from 1996 to 1998, the machine sold less than 50,000 units in total.

Could it be that this machine is not good?

No, this console is very high-performing, and it can connect an external keyboard and mouse, and even surf the Internet, even if it is used as a home computer.

The project was not sold by Apple itself, they made an infrastructure design like the future Android, and then licensed it to other manufacturers.

- Yes, that's what Apple did before Joe's gang returned to Apple.

Apple, which is completely different from the future painting style, Sen Xia also thinks it's quite interesting.

However, whoever sees the price of six hundred dollars will probably exclude this machine from their own purchase list.

"But the concept of that machine is outstanding, especially the design of the wireless handle, which I think is great. ”

- Yes, this machine has such an advanced design.

"But it turns out that such a path is not suitable for Apple. "Qiao gang leader actually scoffed at Apple's previous series of actions.

"Yes, that's true. ”

That's the end of the conversation for now, because that's when the order begins.

"Mashed potatoes, seasonal fruit salad...... Thank you. ”

"Steak...... Well, fully cooked, thanks. ”

Hearing that Sen Xia ordered fully cooked steak, Qiao Gang Leader was a little surprised: "Very few people eat fully cooked steak. ”

Mori Xia also said with a smile: "There are very few people who don't order steak at such a restaurant. ”

Gang Leader Qiao shrugged: "Vegetables and fruits, this is the source of health, I believe this." ”

Senxia didn't try to convince the other party that Joe's gang leader should be a fruit and vegetable, which may have something to do with his experience in India.

But Sen Xia didn't want to worry about this, and he didn't plan to correct it, because of the stubbornness of the Qiao gang leader, which was also famous.

"A well-cooked steak is a chef's ability, and only a really good chef can lock in the juice and umami in a well-cooked steak. "Since you've come to a restaurant like this, why don't you give it a try?"

Many people despise people who eat fully cooked steaks, and some chefs also despise customers who order fully cooked steaks because there is almost no gravy in the whole steak and the texture is on the hard side.

But in fact, if you want to see how good a chef's cooking skills are, you really need to see the fully cooked steak. Only a true chef can lock in the gravy and umami of a fully cooked steak and make it charred on the outside and tender on the inside, but without two brushes, the fully cooked steak will not work.

As a well-cooked party and foodie, Mori Xia found enough arguments for herself to eat all-cooked steak.

"Your English is very standard, I can't make out the Japanese accent at all, I used to communicate with other neon people, at first he spoke to me in English with a Japanese accent, but then we had to find a translator. Gang Leader Qiao was a little surprised by Senxia's English accent.

"Actually, I don't understand the neon gold in English. ”

As soon as Sen Xia said this, Qiao Gang Leader also laughed.

"Actually, I have half of my blood from a large eastern country, and my ancestors also immigrated to Mud Bang nearly 2,000 years ago. ”

The former is a fact, and the latter is the history of the second Tianhai family, about this, Sen Xia doesn't believe it, but the things in his own family, don't believe it or not, but if you don't believe it, it doesn't mean that you can't use it to pretend to beep!

At least the things that came out of the second of the ancestors in my family are still very compelling to use to pretend to be beep.

Sure enough, the face of the Qiao gang leader also showed a look of surprise, satisfying Sen Xia's vanity.

"What will you do in the future, Mr. Qiao?" asked Senxia about the strategy after Qiao Gang Leader took office.

"The first thing is to cut all the useless and unobtrusive items, and then recycle the licenses. "Joe said what he was going to do.

Senxia nodded.

These are not secrets, because Qiao Gang Leader has been so rumored before.

"I'm very optimistic about Apple's future," Senxia said, "and we may have the opportunity to work together in the future." ”

"Perhaps. ”

Joe was noncommittal, but he knew that the Order of the Phoenix was very close to Micro (Giant) Soft (Hard), and Bill Gai also saw the DC of Sega - now the Order of the Phoenix - as part of their development strategy.

To be sure, as long as DC is not dead, Bill Gai should not make up his mind to enter the gaming industry, but will fully support DC - at least until their antitrust lawsuit is over, Microsoft will not easily set foot in the gaming industry.

Senxia knows that the development of XBOX was also a somewhat hasty decision at the beginning, if it weren't for Sega, a pig teammate, to hit the street, XBOX might really be annihilated in the long river of history.

"But I think you and Microsoft might work even closer. Gang Leader Joe really said, "We don't have much in common with the Order of the Phoenix. ”

"But I remember that the giant hard also invested in you, right?"

The year before last, in 1997, Big Hard invested $1.5 billion in Apple. If nothing else, the other party will invest nearly $1.5 billion in Apple next year and the year after.

"Because the big tough doesn't want Apple to go bankrupt, which will have serious consequences for Microsoft's antitrust lawsuit. "But soon they will understand how stupid their decision is, and Apple will defeat Microsoft." ”

Yes, Apple at this time is indeed very dangerous, and there is no way to pick up the leaks on Senxia's side - if you invest simply, there is still money or something, but this investment is harmful to the development of Animic.

Although it was an opportunity to pick up the missing apples, Senxia didn't do that.

But I seem to be quite rich, do you want them to make an investment?

Sen Xia suddenly thought of the Tianhai family.

The money invested in Apple, if held for ten years, the market value of these Apple shares will exceed 10 billion US dollars, and their own family, like Animic, does not need too much living money for development, so do you want to remind your family?

Well, I'll talk to my grandfather when I get back......

Senxia made up her mind in her heart.

"I agree with you, Apple is a great company. But you would say that there is no avenue for cooperation between us at all, and that's not true. Senxia said.

"Oh?" the gang leader Qiao looked at Sen Xia's side.

"-How's the music?" Senxia made an opinion, "Internet music, what do you think?"

“…… Mithril?" Qiao Gang Leader understood almost instantly, "No, is it QICQ?"

Yes, QICQ.

Senxia smiled.

"At the beginning, I thought of Mithril, which is one of the greatest innovations in the history of your gaming platform and the Internet," Qiao Gangster did not hesitate to praise his praise for the Mithril platform, "but I just realized that behind the Mithril platform is QICQ, and you want to cooperate with Apple with this?"

"Why not?" said Senxia shrugged.

Music, this idea coincides with Joe's gang leader. For Senxia, the development of Internet music is also a big help, maybe people in a big eastern country don't care much about this, but for other places that pay attention to copyright, music is definitely a big killer.

If you want QICQ to develop globally, there is no reason why you should not work it.

"It's a question to think about. Gang Leader Qiao didn't respond to Senxia immediately, but was thinking.

"It's okay, we weren't here to talk about business today. Senxia said with a chuckle.

"But I think our cooperation may have a good result. "Gang Leader Qiao does have ideas in his mind about music, but Gang Leader Qiao is not very clear about this, so if it is cooperation, he thinks it is still okay.

Of course, the reins must be in their own hands - at least that, Joe Gang Leader is not going to compromise...... Of course, the reins must be in their own hands - at least that, Joe Gang Leader is not going to compromise...... Of course, the reins must be in their own hands - at least that, Joe Gang Leader is not going to compromise......

……

Regarding Joe's gang leader's illness, many people say that it is because of vegetarianism, and some people say that it is because of vegetarianism that he can live so long, which is a very delicate problem.

In addition, I've been struggling with whether to call it a giant hard or Microsoft (laughs).

Two in one, meow~
