Mr. John Scully, the current CEO of Apple, was personally invited by Jobs to preside over the company's affairs, and later he personally kicked Steve Jobs out of Apple, and chose a more vocal board in the "war" between Jobs and the board members.

In recent years, there are many founders who have lost their controlling stake in financing and were finally kicked out of the company, such as the couple who founded Cisco, who were originally teaching at Stanford University, and their relationship came to an end while gaining career and wealth.

When it comes to Jobs' departure, this guy is actually to blame, his character is arrogant, arrogant, and paranoid, although it is precisely because of this character that he succeeds, but his bad temper also makes the absolute majority of shareholders stand on the opposite side of Jobs, after the initial success, he has carried out several failed projects one after another, and still insists on going his own way after failure.

After the listing, Apple is not only Jobs's, but also belongs to many shareholders who have invested real money, speaking of Apple's board of directors, they also endured Jobs again and again, and he was willful several times, but the final result proved that he failed, and dragged Apple into the abyss, not to mention that the flow of funds was almost broken, and the company's image was almost ruined.

Speaking carefully, Bill Gates also worshipped Jobs as an idol for a few years, and then since Jobs accused Microsoft of plagiarism on behalf of Apple, he has never heard good things about Jobs or Apple from Gates's mouth, and in recent years, because Apple sued Microsoft indos2.0.3 operating system for the existence of icons similar to Mac, which constitutes infringement, the relationship between the two parties has become more and more tense.

In this era, the dispute between Apple and Microsoft is very exciting, and judging from the current results, Microsoft and Gates are the clear winners.

The main blame came in October 1985, shortly after Jobs left, when Mr. Scully signed Apple's worst-ever contract, agreeing that Microsoft would allow Microsoft to use some of Apple's graphical interface technology if it continued to produce software for Apple, such as ord, Excel, etc.

If Apple hadn't made this deal with Microsoft, indos might never have gotten involved in the graphical desktop operating system, because due to its similarity to Mac-OS, it was clear that Apple would have easily won any lawsuit against Microsoft.

In fact, most people in Silicon Valley know that Apple's graphical interface operating system designed by Jobs was also plagiarized from a product developed by Xerox in 1973 at the Palo Alto Research Center, but the other party did not apply for a patent, which made Apple and Jobs pick up a big bargain.

There are many examples of the success and failure of shopping malls, such as the rising market share in recent years, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Aston Martin and other brands of models have been copied by the car manufacturers, and even the shape of the Mustang car can be found from Toyota.

In the end, most of them became a mess, and the other party clearly copied it, so they almost said "big deal to sue me", and now several software designed and developed by Galaxy Company have also become the object of imitation by many entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, even Ellison's shameless one plagiarized, and after being accused, he obediently paid more than 60 million US dollars to Bee Company, and the judge did not know that Bush Jr. had shares in this company, and it took only three months from the trial to the verdict, but Ellison was still infringing, and it was clear that he would not give up.

Someone sued Su Mu's company for infringement, Su Mu is also saying goodbye, a year just the lawyer's fees cost two or three million US dollars, the market order is also chaotic, private friends are private friends, business is business, recently Bee plans to sue Ellison again, this guy's idea is actually quite simple, most of the first is to attract users, the fines that should be paid are given, and then slowly find a way to avoid infringement during the development period, if you are lucky, you can make a lot of money in the end.

……

Coming out of the helicopter, the two sides shook hands and greeted each other warmly.

Seeing that Su Mu had brought several assistants over, Scully felt that the merger proposal was probably not a joke for himself, so he asked with a smile, "Leon, are you already ready to plan?"

"No, no, no, I just decided to buy your company a few days ago, and I haven't had time to get that, so I just came here today to investigate, because I'm not sure if Apple really meets my needs, you should know that we have less cooperation between these two companies. ”

Su Mu's words sounded a little harsh.

Scully has been a professional manager for half his life, he has never seen any scenes, and with a smile on his face, he is pondering the deeper meaning of the word "acquisition".

Both sides know that the communication is about a merger, but there must be a party that will be passive, obviously, Apple is a passive party, now it mainly depends on what kind of sincerity Su Mu can give, to impress the members of the board of directors of Apple, in this kind of merger and acquisition activities, there is almost no small shareholders to speak, Mr. Scully's opinion is not important, no matter how powerful the CEO is, he is just a person who works for the shareholders.

"Very welcome, we have been established for more than ten years, if the two companies can really merge, I believe it will have a very good chemical effect, and today it has been directly reflected in the stock market, isn't it?"

Mr. Scully holds Apple stock, the last time it rose 5 percent in just one day, it was when the new laptop was released last year, and then it was quickly beaten back to its original shape, and it fell a lot, and now Apple's stock price, nearly 40 percent is supported by patent income, under the strong pressure of Microsoft, Apple's product sales have fallen seriously.

It's clear whether customers choose a product that is easy to operate and has a lot of supporting programs, or a product that is cumbersome to operate and can only be purchased from Apple?

With the release of the new Microsoft operating system, it is foreseeable that the market share of Apple products will decline further, and the Mac-OS operating system has not undergone major updates for more than a year.

Judging from Mr. Scully's reaction, Su Mu felt that Apple should be quite interested in merging with Penguin, and there are currently two main ways to merge, one is that the two companies participate in each other's shares, and the other is to integrate the two companies and let Apple or one of Penguin companies delist.

The other party's attitude will directly determine what kind of price he quotes, and at this moment he is already thinking about whether to call a penguin apple or an apple penguin, which doesn't seem to sound good......
