Chapter 236: Half a Year Life
How to say it, Jobs's personality is a bit perverted and belongs to an out-and-out workaholic.
Whether it is in the company or in life, he does not have many friends, Larry Ellison is one of them, the two of them are close together, and often meet to go out for morning jogs, as the founder of Oracle, Mr. Ellison has a lot of shares in his hands, and is currently worth two or three billion US dollars, which is still the number after the stock market crash, and it was even more at the beginning of the century.
It's normal for such a person to be arrogant, but as soon as they met, he joked about Ye Dongqing's complexion, saying that he was "an alternative among the Chinese", mainly referring to Ye Dongqing's rich nightlife, after all, the impression of Chinese Americans in the minds of Californians is quite strange, withdrawn, and even a little mysterious, except for Chinese food and dry cleaners, there seems to be no bright spots.
I knew in advance that Ellison was a complete bastard, and his expectations were too low, so he couldn't talk about disgust or anything like that, he just didn't like people like him, and as the host, he still coped with a few words politely, and then shifted the topic to Jobs.
Jobs was recently diagnosed with a disease, and at the moment he was only holding a glass of watermelon juice in his hand, he told Ye Dongqing: "Maybe I can't continue to manage Apple anymore, and I'm thinking about whether I should step down from the position of executive officer and recuperate for a period of time, the doctor told me that I may only have about half a year to live, and my wife even approved me to hook up with a model tonight, but if I really do that, I may not even live for half a year." ”
It seems that the relationship is really close, Ye Dongqing seems to be the first time to hear him joke like this, Ellison already knows the news, and stands next to him at this moment and says: "I know your character, maybe because of your company's secret project, it will last until the end, who wants to lie at home and be bored to see God?"
If I get sick, I must change a beautiful woman every day until I spend all my money and then die, which is not easy at all. Sorry, I know your money is easily spent, after all...... You know. ”
This is ridiculing Jobs for being "poor", but it successfully made Jobs laugh, Ye Dongqing can't judge the relationship between the two, after all, he doesn't know much, but it's really difficult to understand how these two can play together, most likely because both of them are straight, as long as they understand each other's people, it will be easier to get along.
At the end of last month, Ye Dongqing managed to make his two spokespersons on the board of directors of Apple pass a high-level physical examination project, this is because he knows that according to the timeline of his previous life, now that Jobs is sick, he hopes to let Jobs know that he is sick as soon as possible, and seize the time to carry out timely treatment, so as to avoid delaying the best treatment time like in his previous life.
Tamsui Investment Group holds a lot of shares in Apple, which is as high as 35.00 percent, if there is no help from Jobs, it means that Ye Dongqing may have to play in person in order to let Apple continue to develop according to the desired route, not to mention that he likes Jobs more, and he may be a bastard to his subordinates, but for shareholders, he can definitely save a lot of worry with his help.
In his previous life, during a routine physical examination, Jobs was found to have a tumor in the pancreas, and the average life expectancy after the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer was only about half a year, so the doctor had notified him to prepare for the future, just like this time, but Ye Dongqing knew that this was a curable tumor, which progressed slowly and could be removed by surgery, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune.
Unfortunately, as a Buddhist and vegetarian, Jobs was opposed to mainstream medicine, and he refused surgery, hoping to cure the tumor with medication or dietary therapy, but the results were not ideal, and he ended up having surgery after losing precious time, but the optimal time for treatment was already missed.
Not wanting the tragedy of the last time to continue to be staged this time, Ye Dongqing asked tentatively with a wine glass: "I'm sorry for what happened to you, Mr. Jobs."
But what would you do if the doctor told you there was a cure for evil? I mean, if you could surgically remove something, that would be great, right? ”
"Of course, I just had a gastroscopy biopsy and the results will come out tomorrow, so I didn't plan to come today, but my wife wants me to go out for a walk, and she has a party with her friends, which is good for both of us, so it's a bit of a big blow. Only forty-nine years old, Jobs still couldn't accept the fact that he was about to die, sighed deeply, and continued: "I often work overtime, probably this is why my health has been bad, Leo, I suggest you consider thinking about the next CEO, I prefer Tim Cook, he knows all my plans, with your help you should be able to manage this company." ”
"I'll think about him, but you really should have a good rest lately, and it's best to get over the disease, our plans have just begun, and you don't want to leave without waiting for them, right?"
I apologized to him and could only make myself feel comfortable, so Ye Dongqing was talking to Jobs in his usual tone, he wanted to get all the progress of the treatment and give the most correct advice.
The news of Jobs' illness has not yet been announced, and only a very small number of company executives, including Ye Dongqing, know that the interim CEO candidate will be determined soon, and he usually has more contact with Mr. Tim Cook, and is temporarily listed as the first candidate.
"It's not clear yet, I'll find out tomorrow what the situation is, don't focus on me, today you are the protagonist of the party, you should be happy on your birthday." Jobs patted him on the shoulder and said, it just so happened that a guest came to say hello, and Ye Dongqing left temporarily and continued to entertain other guests.
The yacht will set sail and will arrive in San Francisco tonight, and then some of the guests who will go back tomorrow will disembark there, and the rest will continue to follow the yacht back, if it is too slow, you can also take the car back directly from San Francisco, the time is not too long, and it is enough to have fun for everyone, if you want, you can drink until dawn.
It could have rained tonight, and there were planes that did artificial rain near San Jose to stop the dark clouds there, and it would have cost more than a million dollars in total, but at least it didn't rain at the moment, otherwise tonight's party would have been ruined.
As the organizer, how could Ye Dongqing not make a speech, taking the microphone from Assistant William's hand at this moment, he smiled: "There are no rules for tonight's party, I just hope everyone is full of food and drink, thank you very much for coming from all over the United States to attend my twentieth birthday party, I hope this year can also have a happy ending, whether it is business or emotional, by the way, if anyone wants to vomit, please lie directly by the railing, the owner of this ship does not want anyone to vomit on the boat." ”
Not far away, little Edward was satisfied, this is what he forced Ye Dongqing to say, which can be regarded as one of the prerequisites for borrowing a boat......
