The directors do not have to stay in the company for a long time, and occasionally supervise and manage the company through conference calls, and the independent directors were not present when Ye Dongqing came to Apple.

The so-called "independent directors" refer to directors who are independent of the company's shareholders and do not hold positions within the company, and have no important or professional connections with the company or the company's managers, and make independent judgments on the company's affairs.

It is true that these board members of Apple have relatively strong professional capabilities, at least in other business fields, including Disney executives and Boeing executives, but when it comes to specific capabilities, in fact, that's the case, otherwise before Ye Dongqing intervened, Apple's performance would not be so bleak, and its market share would have decreased again and again.

If there is no such thing, according to his wishes, the top level will be smoothly completed The transfer of power, Ye Dongqing may still give those people a smile, but this time for unknown reasons, several independent directors actually joined hands to do it with him, this is unbearable, there are still many major decisions that need to be decided by the board of directors in the future, he doesn't want to be stabbed in the back at any critical moment, which is not in his interests, and he can't get over his face.

If the shareholding exceeds 35%, the independent directors can lead the way, and Ye Dongqing will most likely become a joke in the mouths of others, and he doesn't want this to happen......

Came directly to Mr. Steve Jobs's office, and by the way, let the female assistant who met in the corridor call Mr. Tim Cook over, recently Jobs is about to be suspended to recuperate, and who the CEO will transfer is the top priority, which is directly related to whether Apple's current project can continue and whether it will be delayed because of this.

If he backs down this time, he will not be able to raise his head in front of other independent directors in the future, so Mr. Cook must be the interim CEO, Ye Dongqing has even been ready to tear his face and let one or two independent directors get out, what Boeing and Disney executives are just some gold-collar workers, he is the largest shareholder of Apple, and there is a gap between the two titles of "senior professional manager" and "super-rich" across the entire Mississippi River.

The female assistant probably knew what was happening in the morning, when she was acting as a stenographer in the conference room, combined with the presence of Ye Dongqing, the major shareholder at the moment, she immediately guessed that there was something important to talk about, so she didn't slack off at all, and replied to him: "Mr. Cook is preparing for this year's internship recruitment, I'll call him over now, is there anything else I need help with?"

"No, buy me a sandwich and the rest counts as a tip. ”

Ye Dongqing was about to pay for it, she shook her head and said, "There is it in the staff lounge, is it okay to have a hot dog?" I will help you heat it up and send it over." ”

"Thanks. ”

Pushing the door and walking in, it happened that Jobs was standing by the window looking out, the CEO of Apple, who was psychologically tormented because of another serious illness, and his face was slightly pale, turned his head and smiled at Ye Dongqing, and told: "The doctor won't let me drink, but I may have to be hospitalized for a period of time, and I don't think there is much chance to drink again. ”

"Macallan 1926, the 1939 that I drank once before is already very precious, it turns out that you still have such a good bottle of wine hidden here, where did you hide it before?" Ye Dongqing came to cook, took a cup with a few pieces of ice, and then poured a small half glass into it, this kind of old whiskey that has been stored for many years is very spicy, so he is not in a hurry to drink it for the time being, waiting for the ice cubes to melt, dilute it slightly, put the cup under his nose, the smell is very strong.

"Of course, it's in the cupboard, after all, there are only forty bottles in the world, and if anyone takes a fancy to it, I will be very distressed. ”

"It's a little early to drink, I should wait until Mr. Cook becomes CEO, I want to know if you want him to take over, is it as strong as I do, how could they fancy Mr. Cook's deputy? I don't believe they will support him for no reason, it's not just about who is CEO, it feels like it's being directed at me. ”

After taking a sip of wine, you can't actually taste good or bad, only know that it's all the taste of money, and a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands of dollars is full of charm from history, just like the kind of cigar that costs millions of dollars a box, and the taste is not much different from a few hundred dollars a piece, but the feeling of smoking is different.

“...... Maybe you're right, it's not just for you, it's for me, and it doesn't have much to do with Cook, his ability is obvious to all, and he is indeed the best candidate for interim CEO. But everybody has ideas, and it can't be so fair, and if you had supported other people, maybe Cook would have been able to determine the position directly, and there were several people on the board who were concerned about your shareholding, and you threatened their interests, which wasn't the case before, I was often tied down by them, and you were out of control and above them.

If you say that you will not continue to increase your shareholdings, maybe they will be a little more relieved, but you don't, everyone knows that your Tamsui Investment Group is still in contact with the small shareholders who hold Apple shares, this is not my business, I emptied the Apple stock back then, leaving only one share, and then it increased a little, but I think your ideas and mine are very compatible, you are very welcome to join our company, you are a smart person. Actually, I think Apple really needs to be led by a smart and vocal majority shareholder, and if I hadn't taken the liberty of raising money and buying all the shares of my friends, I wouldn't have been kicked out like waste, and I always remember this humiliation. ”

Jobs didn't keep anything, he said what he knew.

For the time being, he doesn't know if he can survive this cancer, so there is nothing to worry about, because he is likely to die at any time, although the doctor said that the survival rate is relatively high, but it is not absolute.

When considering the reasons why those independent directors joined forces, Ye Dongqing thought about it in this regard, and it was not surprising at the moment, and there were some other ideas, but Jobs was a member of the board of directors after all, he did not say it for the time being, and he had made up his mind to continue to increase his holdings at any cost, and then promote the company's reform, so that shareholders could regain the right to speak, which was the most beneficial result for him......
