Every time there is a change in the shareholding of a large company, it almost always means that there will be adjustments in personnel arrangements, and Jobs does not believe that Ye Dongqing only wants a few inconsequential board seats, he is worried that his chief executive will be replaced, and he himself is not confident that he will not be fired.

After all, with the exception of the iPod Walkman business, PC sales have been in a slump for a long time, which is a huge failure for shareholders, and what worries Jobs is that he can't even give a detailed plan to convince the new major shareholders that Apple's core business can recover.

Market share has slipped all the way to a new all-time low, and to be honest, there is no hope of turning defeat into victory, and a few years ago it was almost merged because of bankruptcy like other failed companies, and finally used the old patent to extort some money from Microsoft, which made the form slightly better.

Now Jobs, not the successful person who was pushed to the altar, after nervously preparing some documents, and his assistant Tim Cook went to the appointment the next night, on the way Cook reminded the boss more than once to control his emotions, and sure enough, he was taught a lesson by Jobs because he repeated it too many times.

It is no wonder that people often say that the later Apple CEO is not enterprising, and after cooperating with Jobs for a long time, the edge will be worn out, and he is used to executing it, and the title of "tyrant" is not just a casual talk......

Ye Dongqing has put too much pressure on Apple, because of his arrival, history has changed a lot, Apple was able to succeed in the previous life, this time it may not be feasible, and what he wants to do is to let this company re-embark on the development path that has been "walked", and advance the turning point to the present.

Unlike Amazon, Netflix and other monolithic industry giants, Apple is facing great competition, which increases uncertainty, and the only quality is that it has a ready-made development foundation, both software and hardware, so as long as he follows his ideas, the possibility of success again is very high.

I walked out of the Mercedes S600, sorted out my clothes and entered the restaurant, the time was seven o'clock in the evening on the West Coast, and I was not late or early.

Led by the attendants, to the table near the window, where the small garden could be seen outside, Ye Dongqing smiled and stretched out his hand to greet Steve Jobs and Mr. Tim Cook, and said: "I'm sorry for being late, just call me Leo, my bodyguards don't know the way, fortunately, this restaurant is famous enough, and the police know where it is." ”

Cook shook his hand with a bright smile on his face: "It's okay, it's early for us." ”

"I've seen your news in the newspaper, and I have to say that young people nowadays are really scary, I wasn't as good as you when I started my business, and my daughter recently asked me for money to buy a digital camera, just to share her life on Facebook, and that program is very good. ”

Jobs rarely said polite words, after all, he was not in his twenties, he had met so many times, he already understood who could be messed with and who could not be messed with, as a CEO, it was best not to get along with a major shareholder who is about to have multiple board seats, and he was also laughing.

The beard began to turn white, and his face was a little thin, it was indeed the science and technology boss in Ye Dongqing's memory, yes, he was thinking in his mind that if nothing else, he should be sick now, but now he himself doesn't know, in order to avoid letting such a cow leave early, maybe he should think of a way to let the other party receive treatment in advance, and it is not a big problem to live for a few more years, and there is even the possibility of recovery.

Some effective experimental treatment options are not accessible to ordinary people, but the rich can buy them with money, some people say that money can't buy time, but the fact is that they can buy lives and use special channels to treat diseases.

Like Ye Dongqing, the practice of spending money to hire people to help him make money, and taking time to travel and enjoy life, is also equivalent to prolonging life in disguise, the time of the rich and the time of ordinary people, the length may be about the same, but the quality is very different, so people should be more motivated.

Didn't mention this matter for the time being, they sat on both sides of the table, Ye Dongqing was praising Apple's soft power, focusing on iTunes and iPod music players in terms of performance, and there were no bright spots in other aspects, which would only be embarrassing.

He knew that, and so did Mr. Jobs and Mr. Cook.

Before the food was served, after the greetings were finished, Ye Dongqing took out a few folded pieces of paper from his pocket, and said in his mouth: "Some investors in Tamsui Investment Group have concerns about my continuous increase in Apple shares, in fact, I not only bought warrants, but also planned to buy those shares in the future, because I had no money for the time being, so I had to choose to start with warrants."

In the current situation, this is not a wise choice, because whether it is investing in the Amazon online store, or investing in the growth of my Facebook company, or other initiatives, it is normal for investors to have concerns. However, Apple can't do it now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future, the iTunes project has given me hope for success, and the closed ecosystem is also what I like. ”

One bite is not good, which makes Jobs about to go berserk, and the smile on his face has been put away, but the good thing is that since it comes to long-term planning, it means that there is no need to worry about being fired for the time being, because no shareholder will talk to the outgoing CEO about this.

Seeing Ye Dongqing handing him something, he took it curiously, only to hear the young Chinese teenager continue: "I had a dream when I was very young, the Internet is good now, but unfortunately it is far from successful enough, and the impact on people's lives is limited, I hope to be able to realize my plan through Apple, and build Apple into a technology empire that occupies an important position in the world!"

That's why I want to talk to you today, I think only by communicating face-to-face can we better let you understand my philosophy, and the ideas I have conceived are all based on reality, combined with the available technologies that have emerged, such as touch screens, Portfolioall completed by General Motors and Alias-avefront personnel, Sony's SmartSkin input system, DSIDatotech of Canada has developed a HandGear device that supports multi-touch, among other things. These can be applied to mobile smart products, all operations can be done with your fingers, which can increase the size of the screen and reduce the weight, Apple has already made an attempt, the Newton project, but the technology was not mature at that time, and in my opinion it is now close to maturity......"
