In 1997, when Apple was in a deep crisis and couldn't extricate itself, when it had no choice, it invited back Steve Jobs, who became famous for founding the company NeXTComputer.

In order to bring back Jobs, Apple's board of directors bought Jobs' NeXTComputer at a price many times higher than the appraised price.

In this matter, both the public and Jobs himself clearly know that the actions of Apple's board of directors are actually to compensate for the mistakes made in the first place.

As for Jobs, in addition to returning to Apple and getting a large amount of compensation, the most important thing is that he felt that he was driven away, which was a great shame. So, where you fall, get up there.

To succeed, it takes great success to get yourself out of the bad breath at the beginning.

Therefore, for him, how much money is secondary, and making Apple a first-class computer company is his biggest motivation.

And Zhang Yi in front of him, the more he understands, the more he appreciates it, and his technology is first-class.

In terms of business smell, no one can compare.

The original business model is all amazing.

Although he knows that there may be hidden traps in Zhang Yi's agreement, he feels that business is like this, you take what you need, I take what I need, everyone makes profits, and business can last for a long time.

The goal he pursues is that Apple's products are loved by people, and Apple's audience is getting bigger and bigger.

And Zhang Yi can provide great help to the research and development of Apple's operating system, which is what he values the most and what Apple needs the most.

The launch of Apple's version of the micro-hardware software store will greatly enrich the user's choice of content. These days, he has also tried out micro hardware players, compression software, input methods, game modifiers and other software.

These software give him the same feeling as Apple's purpose of making software, powerful, simple interface, and so good that people can't put it down.

Of course, he was also surprised by the popularity of the legendary online game in the Celestial Empire obtained by the investigation company.

In the past, he would never have imagined that you could get an online game on the computer that would be so fascinating. And that's where Apple is lacking.

What's even more enviable is that after Zhang Yi acquired Blizzard, Blizzard's StarCraft sold millions of sets in the country of sticks, which is a jaw-dropping achievement that is unprecedented.

These days, in addition to Zhang Yi's street fight scenes and the song "You Raise Me Up", the most concerned thing on major TV channels is the crazy pursuit of StarCraft in the country of sticks.

Many stock commentators on Wall Street suddenly discovered that the game industry was so attractive, and the most famous game company, Blizzard, had been acquired by the Celestial Empire, which made many Sam's people unhappy, but when they thought that the person who bought it was Zhang Yi, who became famous in Sam's Country, they couldn't hate it at all.

In a country like Sam's Country, personal success is very admirable, and if this person is particularly young, it is even more likeable. If you are young, your strength is off the charts, and if you sing a good tune, it will attract thousands of blonde beautiful girls, shouting and making noise, to give birth to a baby.

Under Apple's strong request, Zhang Yi pretended to be reluctant to agree to the introduction of Blizzard series games into Apple's system, and the issue of joint venture production of Apple's high-configuration game computers was also added to the agreement.

It's just that when Zhang Yi proposed to monopolize Apple's agency in the Celestial Empire. Jobs did not object, and even kindly reminded him that the income level of the people of the Celestial Empire was too low, and in such a low-income situation, it was impossible to buy expensive Apple computers, and it was completely worth the loss to spend a huge amount of money to build a store in the vast Celestial Empire.

But Zhang Yi insisted on the agency of all Apple's products in the Celestial Empire, and said that after 15 years, if the sales volume could not exceed the sales volume of Sam's Country Apple, he would rather transfer all the Apple shares currently under his name, about 5%, to Apple management for free.

As soon as these words came out, Jobs looked at Zhang Yi in front of him in a daze, if it weren't for the fact that he knew the young man in front of him very well during this time, he even doubted that Zhang Yi in front of him and Zhang Yi a few days ago would not have been transferred.

Looking at the current wage gap between the Celestial Empire and Sam's Country, no normal person dares to say that in fifteen years, the sales volume of Apple computers in the Celestial Empire will exceed that of Sam's.

And the young man in front of him dared to make this bet, why should he be the kind of person who can see through the future in the legend?

Thinking of this, Jobs almost couldn't control it and burst out laughing. 5% of Apple stock is a huge amount of money, and some people are rushing to send money, so why not do it!

This is the case with businessmen, if the immediate interests are large enough, they can cover up some of the things hidden under the surface.

And these things are just a little bit of ice that pops out of the water from time to time. Without looking down through the tip of the ice, you don't know if it's a huge iceberg or just a piece of ice below.

In business, risk and profit are directly proportional, and such a huge profit makes people forget the huge risk hidden underneath. This is the case with Apple now, they only see great benefits.

In the negotiations with Apple, the two sides quickly signed an agreement under the strong intervention and promotion of Jobs.

Although Apple cannot keep this package agreement secret, it is also unwilling to make a big deal about it.

However, under Zhang Yi's skillful maneuvering, the media accidentally learned the full content of the agreement.

Even the photocopy of the original version of the agreement was published by the newspaper, and the content was so detailed that people couldn't help but marvel at the professionalism of the Sam's Country Media paparazzi.

Encouraged by this news, Blizzard's stock turned over and looked like green. The U.S. stock market is different from the Celestial Empire, and its rise, which is reflected in the K-line chart, is floating green. And the stock of the Celestial Empire rose, but it was red.

Apple's stock, on the other hand, is tepid, looking half-dead and lazy.

After all, Apple is an old high-tech stock, with huge outstanding shares and scattered stock holders, which simply cannot form a synergy. The most important thing is that the micro-hardware software company from the Celestial Empire is not listed in Sam's Country, and Sam's people don't know about this company.

At present, Zhang Yi, who is only known in the United States, is the actual controller of this company.

Considering the time limit of Zhang Yi's business visa, Jobs once thought about suggesting that Zhang Yi obtain the nationality of Sam's Country, but Zhang Yi refused without hesitation, for him, he would rather obtain any British or French, or even German nationality than obtain the nationality of Sam's Country.

Not for anything else, just because the Celestial Empire and Sam Country are difficult to really reconcile with each other, at that time, Zhang Yi, who was sandwiched in the middle, was neither left nor right, and it was difficult to have both.

In desperation, Jobs had no choice but to use his local political resources, promoted by the state legislature, and Mr. Mayor awarded Zhang Yi the title of honorary citizen.

In fact, with Zhang Yi's current popularity in Sam's Country, it is not difficult to win this title, but the anxious Jobs didn't want Zhang Yi to waste his time on this.

For Apple's operating system, time is money!
