Ye Dongqing is right, the cake is too big, and it is unrealistic to let Apple eat it.

Since competitors will inevitably emerge, it may still be a relatively strong one, in Jobs's opinion, it is better to directly let Ye Dongqing successfully occupy the remaining part of the market, and there will not be too much pressure on Apple at that time, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are meat.

is quite kind, and he did not take advantage of Apple's side by virtue of his status as a major shareholder, although his shareholding is more than sixty percent and he has the absolute right to speak within the company.

Mr. Jobs took the initiative to mention it, that was another matter, he nodded unceremoniously, and replied: "Okay, I'll have someone contact you, ready to launch a new mobile operating system based on the Linux operating system, it will compete with Apple, I am confident that it will develop, now that you already know the news, then most of the others will soon know, a bunch of mobile phone manufacturers may be going to find me." ”

"It doesn't matter, Apple's lead is obvious, Microsoft hasn't been able to bring Apple's new system down, and neither will you. ”

"Of course, a lot of my money is in Apple, how is the new product being developed?"

As Ye Dongqing told Jobs before, he really hasn't bothered about business matters recently, and occasionally makes some arrangements over the phone, but his mind is not on business, and he prefers to be quiet and enjoy life.

"It's pretty good, some technologies, including the clarity of the screen, touch sensitivity, processor performance, and battery capacity, etc., have been improved, almost in the R&D laboratory, next time someone will send you a try, there are more and more products in the app-store, which is why I'm not afraid of any competitors, to be honest, I think the managers of those mobile phone manufacturers have water in their heads, Nokia is still trying to beat iOS with Symbian, it's like a joke." ”

"Steve, it's not like, that's a joke, with the development of wireless network transmission technology, and the expansion of the construction scale of 3G mobile base stations, the next generation of iPhone is bound to be more popular, but this time can't be like last year, there is a gap of almost five months between the launch and the press conference, and the mass production is being handled, right?"

Mr. Jobs replied: "Of course, I already have experience, and this time I may release the first batch of goods a month after the press conference, but to be honest, the current products are selling well, and I will be reluctant to replace them directly." ”

"The two are sold together, the new model is expensive, and the price of the old model is reduced, which allows consumers to have more choices, anyway, we won't suffer, right?"

This time, Jobs came to visit Ye Dongqing by the way because he participated in the event, and asked for some opinions by the way.

The form is there, Apple is no longer the enterprise dominated by the board of directors, Ye Dongqing occupies the absolute right to speak, and more than half of the seats on the board of directors are his people, so Jobs can't be careless.

As long as it can make money, investors don't care who will manage the company, Ye Dongqing's achievements after investing in Apple are obvious, many old investors' assets have increased more than ten times rapidly, especially in the past two years, almost whoever buys makes money, stupid will stop something, when he asked for five more members on the board of directors, the resolution was passed on the same day, which allowed him to further grasp the company.

Apple has more and more direct stores, and the number of agent sellers is also increasing, because the products are good enough, the advertising efforts have increased a lot, and now the market share in the field of computers, music players, and mobile phones is rising, and it is considered a cool company in the minds of consumers.

It's easy to market a product, but it's hard to market a company's brand, Apple was only a little famous in the United States, and many young people didn't know its glory in the early eighties, and if they wanted more people to accept it, especially in the international market outside the United States, advertising was naturally indispensable.

In the ensuing conversation, Ye Dongqing asked Mr. Jobs to pay more attention to marketing, and soon after Jobs left, asking him to attend the official party at that time, it is said that Gates, Ellison and others were also there.

Sitting alone in a café, my back was sweaty from the heat.

No kidding, he really paid out of his own pocket and asked an assistant to help buy two high-powered air conditioners, and they were going to be installed today.

I put a $100 bill under the cup, packed two sandwiches and hot dogs to take home for lunch, rested for a while, and rarely checked my mailbox......

Ye Dongqing has set up a private investment arm in the form of a family office, and may also donate 20 percent of the shares of Tamsui Investment Group to a charitable trust in his name this year.

The concept of financial management is changing, and with the next possible attempt to sell and cash out, there is more money, and in addition to paying off foreign debts, he also has to reconsider where to invest, and buying the Ferrari brand is an attempt to satisfy his own hobbies, and maybe occasionally play Formula 1.

In order to buy this company, the money spent is more than 10 billion US dollars, and it is agreed that it will be paid in three years, without calculating interest, and the shareholders of the Fiat Group are satisfied, and he is also satisfied, some time ago the loan received more than 20 billion US dollars, part of which was used to pay off old debts, and part of it was used for investment and charity, and the overall personal debt ratio was less than 35 percent, and the asset structure is still healthy.

Not to mention the rest, selling their Apple shares, as well as Amazon shares, can almost pay off all the foreign debts at present, and almost no one in business will worry about interest, they are only worried that no one will lend money to them for business.

Someone once analyzed Ye Dongqing's family history, and one of the sentences summed up is - learn to use other people's money to make money and skip the process of capital accumulation.

Of course, not everyone can succeed, and if you lose money, you may not be able to pay off your debts for the rest of your life.

Laura is pregnant, so that Ye Dongqing has not had much time to accompany Mahi recently, and she asked Ye Dongqing to travel with her during the Christmas holiday, but in the end she didn't make it.

Today, Mahi called him again and told him that he was here in the Bahamas to help manage the company.

Most of her father was killed, but at the end of last year, one of the two may have been one of the murderers, and he was arrested by the authorities and fined almost 300 million US dollars, not because of his father, but because of tax evasion, plus some other things, he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison, and he barely had an explanation.

After so long, Mahi's family immigrated to the United States, and she also holds a French passport, dual citizenship, and settled her home in Los Angeles.

I felt that it was not good to refuse again, and it was so close, so I simply hung up the phone and arranged a route to the airport to fly to the Bahamas.

To be honest, Laura's temper is indeed a bit big because of emotional confusion, and it's a dangerous period, men, there are always certain needs......
