Chapter 551: The Core of Apple

……

Jobs's affection for Apple is unsurpassed. Similarly, his dedication to Apple's power is unsurpassed. After the incident of forcibly taking him to the hospital for surgery, if he continues to check the management of the apple, I am afraid that the relationship between the two will really have a gap.

After returning to the ward and waiting quietly for a while, Jobs finally moved while lying on the hospital bed.

"Steve, are you okay?"

glanced at his wife and two daughters who were clutching his right hand, with excitement, worry and joy in his expression, and then turned his eyes to Guo Shouyun, who was smiling and looking at him next to him, and said in a complicated tone: "Bruce, you are really a bastard! After I get better, the first thing I have to do is to beat you up." ”

"Haha, Steve, I'm glad you can still say something like that. But don't thank me too much, I just did what a friend should do. … Well, I'll be relieved when you come to your senses. Laurenna, Steve will leave it to your care, remember what the doctor said, don't let him eat irritating food. ”

After the latter nodded, Guo Shouyun continued: "During Steve's hospitalization, Erin and Eve will stay with me first, and Wendy will take care of them. ”

"Thank you, Bruce!" Laurena said gratefully.

"No, who made the two of us close friends!" After the words fell, after looking at Jobs, who also showed a trace of gratitude in his eyes, Guo Shouyun said again: "Steve, you have a good rest today." I'll take Tim and Jonathan to see you tomorrow. What you have next for Apple, wait until tomorrow. ”

"I'm like this now, is there any room for bargaining?"

Obviously, for being dragged to the hospital by Guo Shouyun for surgery, even if Jobs understood that the other party was for his own good, he still had resentment in his heart.

In this regard, Guo Shouyun is not surprised. After smiling and nodding, he beckoned to the two little ones.

"Erin, Eve, come here. ”

Two little girls, one 8 years old and the other 5 years old, although they are still young, they are also old enough to remember.

"We're going to accompany Dad!"

"Dad is not feeling well and needs to recuperate. Obedient!"

Under the appeasement of Laurenna, the two little ones reluctantly followed Guo Shouyun away.

"Matthew, leave two people behind!"

After walking out of the ward, Guo Shouyun stopped and explained.

Although he has kept the news of Jobs' hospitalization a secret, he has not even told Apple's top management. But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, whether it is for Jobs' health or safety reasons, it is best not to let outsiders disturb him now.

"Yes!"

……

"Erin, Eve?"

"Aunt Wendy!"

Compared with Guo Shouyun, who often travels on business and is increasingly majestic, there is no doubt that Wendy is more liked by the two little girls. Moreover, because Laurenna often brings them to Guo Shouyun's house, the two little girls are very familiar with Wendy. As soon as he entered the door, he walked out from behind Guo Shouyun and trotted into her arms.

Looking at her lover's inquiring eyes, "Steve is sick and hospitalized, and Laurenna has to take care of him." So Erin and Eve stayed at our house for a while first. ”

"Steve is hospitalized, when is it serious?"

"Just finished surgery this morning. Pancreatic cancer!"

"What?pancreatic cancer?!"

"Hmm... Fortunately, the cancer did not spread because it was detected early. Once the tumor is removed, it's fine. However, a period of hospitalization is required. ”

"Whew, that's good!" patted his chest, "Which hospital is he, I'll see him tomorrow!"

"Stanford University Medical Center, but he's just had surgery and he's still very weak. You'd better wait a few days and see him again!"

Wendy Roosevelt thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then I'll arrange for Erin and Eve to stay first!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Not long after Wendy left with her two children, Guo Shouyun's cell phone rang. Not surprisingly, it was all Apple executives who called to find out about Jobs' condition. Fortunately, with his explanation, Tim Cook didn't tell too many people.

After sending them Jobs' hospital address, the matter settled down.

The next day, Guo Shouyun did not go to the hospital. He knew that this time must belong to Jobs and Apple executives.

So, it wasn't until the third day that he arrived here with the fruit he had bought, and Wendy and Wendy.

Putting things at the head of the bed, when the two women were talking, Guo Shouyun sat down next to the hospital bed.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

"Much better!" Jobs clenched his fists, and his face was indeed much better than when he had just undergone surgery.

"That's good. During this time, you should give yourself a vacation and have a good rest!"

"Bruce, I don't like hospitals. And now that I've had the surgery, I can be at home for the rest of the recuperation process!"

Guo Shouyun smiled, "Steve, don't think I don't know what you have in mind. I advise you to die and don't think about touching the management of apples again until your body is truly healthy. In addition, you should stay in the hospital not only to recuperate, but more importantly, to stay in the hospital for observation, to really ensure that the tumor in your body is completely removed. ”

Jobs shrugged, "I knew you wouldn't say yes!"

"It's also for your future. Steve, you're not yet fifty years old, and we still have plenty of time to change the world through technology. Don't be fooled and miss out on a better future. In addition, you don't want Reed, Erin and Eve to get married without their father, which is the regret of their lives. In addition, I like Eve very much, and I plan to let our family George marry her in the future!"

"Eve is my daughter, and George's stinky boy wants to be my son-in-law, and he needs my consent first. ”

"Then you have to let yourself live until then!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Thanks to you, my pancreatic cancer has been cured, how can I not survive? Twenty years later, you will watch how I repair your son!"

"Haha, welcome, welcome. There's someone to discipline that stinky boy for me, and I'm too late to be happy!"

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Laurena and Wendy, who were standing on the side, couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"Bruce, what do you think of me letting Tim take my place temporarily?"

After chatting for a while, Jobs was silent for a moment and then suddenly said.

"Tim Cook, he's the right fit!"

"Why?"

"Don't you know why?"

"But I'd like to hear your opinion!"

After glancing at Jobs, Guo Shouyun nodded.

In Apple's core management, Jonathan Ivey is responsible for the exterior design of most of Apple's products, and understands Apple's core philosophy better than anyone else, but he seems to be only interested in product design, and he is only good at it. For running the entire company, the capacity is slightly insufficient. ”

"Jonathan Rubinstein, your old subordinate from Next, was instrumental in the development of the iPad and has ambitions to run the company. It's a pity that Apple already has you, and until you really leave Apple, it's not suitable for a second strong leader to emerge here. In addition, although Jonathan Rubinstein has an unparalleled talent in hardware development, he has always adhered to the idea that the design should be changed according to the needs of hardware development. It just so happens that in Apple's product strategy, the exterior design is the first, and the hardware belongs to the subordinate position, so he is not suitable. ”

"Scott Forster, a genius software designer, is an honest and down-to-earth person, he is a good employee, but he is not suitable to be a qualified leader. In him, he does not have the ability and charisma to be the CEO of the company. ”

"Finally, there's Tim Cook. Cook is calm and decisive, and after becoming Apple's chief operating officer, he was able to shorten the company's inventory period from two long months to two days, and even 15 hours at the shortest. Moreover, he is a hero who is willing to be behind the scenes, rarely enters the public eye, and even deliberately reins in his edge, and at the same time he is an excellent management and operation talent. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, he is a qualified assistant and complements your personality. If there's anyone in the company who is best suited to manage the company in your absence, Cook would be the best fit!"

After listening, Jobs was silent, "Bruce, I really didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of Apple's internal management!"

"Steve, although I promised you not to meddle in the management of Apple, it doesn't mean that I don't care about Apple! I also remind you that it is a good choice for you to put Tim Cook in charge of the management of the company for the time being. But for Jonathan Rubinstein, it was hard for him to accept the result. I'm afraid, he won't stay at Apple anymore. ”

"I know. But Apple has a lot of talent. Even if he leaves, we have the right person to take his place!"

In fact, as long as you're there, I don't care what other people do. ”

Jobs could hear the sincerity in his words, and that was why the trust was particularly touching. Of course, he is not a person who can easily express his feelings. But this trust made him feel that because he was forced to come to the hospital for surgery by Guo Shouyun, the accumulated depression and resentment dissipated.

"By the way, do you want me to inform Paul and Mona for you?" asked Guo Shouyun.

"No, it's not too late for me to notify them when I'm discharged!"

After suffering from illness, the irascible and selfish side of Jobs's personality diminished a lot. At the same time, it also made him realize the importance of family and relatives!
