Chapter 135 VAM Agreements

muttered in his mouth: "There is no water to drink, and my throat is about to burst into flames, so I won't say anything." ”

The words spoken in Chinese, the surrounding group of old beauties could not understand at all, only Luo Bingyun, hearing this sentence, burst out laughing.

Seeing that the people around her were a little inexplicable, she quickly covered her mouth and forced herself to stop laughing.

Zhang Yi said to Jobs: "Old Joe, I'll talk about this today, and I'll talk about it later when I'm free." ”

Hearing this, Jobs, who was excited, was like being splashed with cold water in the middle of winter, so angry that his forehead was bruised, and he pinched his head, but when he looked at his body, he thought of the other party's majestic posture when he was famous in Sam's country, so he could only stop fighting.

Listening to the meaning of his words, the beautiful Apple system that we have worked so hard to make, like a safe fortress, is like a broken warehouse in his eyes, leaking everywhere!

"I'll talk about this today, and I'll talk about it later!" Although I don't want to admit it on the surface, I have to say intellectually that these problems pointed out by Zhang Yi need to be improved.

Looking at the beautiful interface, Jobs wondered for the first time whether the Apple system could really succeed? After all, these bugs that Zhang Yi found out felt very easy, as if they were the emperor's new clothes, and those who couldn't find them were fools.

In any case, these bugs exist objectively, and if you don't see them, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. And if users find out, it will affect the reputation of Apple's system. To make software, especially for large-scale operating systems, customer reputation is the first vitality.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you spend and how beautiful the interface is, it will be useless.

Looking at Zhang Yi's smug appearance, Jobs couldn't wait to give him that face an old look and let him know why the flowers were so red. Bury other people's products, but you don't want to be happy, build your own happiness on the pain of others, what kind of people are these!

In fact, he himself is not like this, when he has nothing to do, he satirizes Microsoft, and the software he makes is terrible and has no aesthetics.

It turned out that he despised others at will, but now he is despised by others, walking the rivers and lakes, sooner or later he will have to pay it back, but now he is returning it to this young man, he is unwilling!

Looking at Zhang Yi's eyes beside him, looking hungrily at Zhang Yi's group of software engineers, Jobs sighed slightly. Compared with Zhang Yi's level of software development, compared to the light of the glow and Haoyue, they are too far behind.

I didn't bother to pay attention to them, so I picked up Zhang Yi and walked towards his office.

After sitting down, he said straight to the point: "Zhang Yi, as one of Apple's shareholders, you have the obligation to contribute to Apple's products. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi snorted.

If you want to get the bugs of the Apple system by buttoning the big hat, it is simply impossible, you know, software testing is more difficult, more expensive, and longer than development. And these bugs pointed out by Zhang Yi are definitely the most needed things for Apple's system that is about to go on the market.

Jobs looked at Zhang Yi's young face, but the expression on his face was like an old fritter, unmoved at all, a typical state of not seeing a rabbit or a hawk.

"Say, what conditions do you have to help Apple improve the operating system!"

In Sam's Country these days, Zhang Yi is also used to the straightforwardness of Sam's Country's people.

If you have something to say, you can say it directly, and if you have a request, you can talk about it directly.

"I want to migrate all the software of Micro Hardware to Apple's system. In addition, Apple computers sold in the future must come with a micro-hardware and software store. ”

When he saw Jobs' brows furrowed, he added: "Of course, Apple can get 20% of the profits obtained by the software store." ”

"Seriously, I really don't like your app store. I believe that the software built into my Apple operating system is enough to meet the needs of users, and I don't need to buy software from your software store at all. ”

The tone of his voice is very confident, with a look of arrogance.

Zhang Yi heard Jobs's words, showing confidence in Apple's Mac system, and his heart was happy, he was just hugging the grass and beating rabbits, but he didn't expect that he might have the opportunity to slaughter a fat pig.

Spreading out his hand, Zhang Yi looked helpless: "You are optimistic about your Apple system, and I am optimistic about my software store!"

"Either you win and I'll lose, or I win and you lose! Let's just make a bet!"

Jobs nodded with interest.

"Tell me, what a bet!"

"In 15 years, if my software store doesn't reach $15 billion in turnover, I'll pay you $1.5 billion, and if it does, I'll only pay you $100 million!"

"Ah! Aren't you crazy? Do you know what the concept of $15 billion is? At present, IBM, the largest company in the industry, has a turnover of less than $15 billion a year! If your software store wants to achieve this turnover, it is purely whimsical and impossible!" The mocking look on Jobs' face could not be concealed.

Zhang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "The so-called bet is like this! Gambling is the vision of the future!"

finally whispered: "It's up to you to bet!" After that, he looked directly at Jobs with provocative eyes.

"What are the prerequisites for this bet!

"The prerequisites are very simple, micro hardware and Apple signed an agreement, within 15 years, Apple shall not for any reason, restrict the user's Apple computer from randomly carrying micro hardware software store, of course, if the software store affects the user's experience, and the user uninstalls it by himself, this situation does not belong to Apple's breach of contract!"

"The second point is that within 15 years, Apple computers cannot appear, similar to the business model of the micro-hardware software mall, otherwise, it will be regarded as Apple's breach of contract, and will pay 10 times the liquidated damages of the software mall sales of the micro-hardware company that year. ”

Jobs's brows jumped, and he said nonchalantly: "That is to say, within 15 years, you must not exclude your random software store, and Apple itself and other software companies are not allowed to build other software stores on Apple's system, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Jobs, your understanding is very accurate!"

"Then what you are talking about, the sales of the micro hardware and software store, do you refer only to the sales on the Apple system, or do you include all the sales on Microsoft Windows!"

Zhang Yi smiled: "Of course, it only refers to the sales of the software store of the Apple system, and does not include any other operating systems except Apple!"

Jobs stared at Zhang Yi, his gloomy eyes blinked, and he said slowly: "You are so confident, Apple computer users, do you really need the software provided by your software store so much?"

Zhang Yi's heart was beating a drum, but his expression became more relaxed: "Believe it or not, it lies in your and my vision, just like on the gambling table, you believe in yourself, you can show your hand, sweep away the chips on the gambling table, if you don't believe in yourself, just put down the chips little by little!"

Jobs's eyes sharpened: "Okay, I'll bet with you this time, but you have to promise me that you will be stationed in Sam's Country in the future, help Apple improve the Apple system, and by the way, make your software store and Apple system more perfect! Of course, I won't let you do it in vain, if you are in this state today, I can persuade the board of directors to give you 1% of Apple stock every year as your reward." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi's heart burst into laughter, this M, not only hugged a handful of grass, beat a rabbit, but also was able to hunt a big fat pig, and finally was forced to give away a little piglet. This happiness came so fast!
