Chapter 978 The court is cold, and the first meeting with Jobs

Lin Cheng's first public appearance in the United States was undoubtedly very successful, and before Lin Cheng's press conference, the labels labeled by the European and American media were generally "arrogant", "arrogant", "mysterious", "young" and other neutral and derogatory words.

But through this public press conference, people quickly realized that Lin Cheng was a handsome, confident, talkative, and funny person.

Such people are often very popular in the European and American worlds, and some foreign reporters who originally looked at Lin Cheng with colored glasses said to the domestic reporters present after the press conference: China Lin is really nice, I want to turn a fan of China Lin Lu!

Because Lin Cheng never compromises and never bends over, when domestic reporters are in China, they don't like how to look at Lin Cheng, but after going abroad, they really feel how much influence Lin Cheng has in the world, and see that foreign reporters have been impressed by Lin Cheng's personal charm, and domestic reporters feel honored at the same time, for the first time in their lives, they are proud of the same race and country as Lin Cheng.

"Give birth to a son like Lin Cheng!"

Thinking of Lin Cheng's age of twenty, many reporters recited this sentence, which is undoubtedly their beginning to change and agree with Lin Cheng.

……

After the press conference, Lin Cheng went to the banquet hall on the fifth floor of the Hilton Tower, where Lin Cheng was hosting a reception for the American imperialist high society.

It's just that when he first got out of the elevator, Lin Cheng didn't think much of it, but when he came to the door of the banquet hall, a trace of bad omen suddenly appeared in his heart.

According to his previous experience of holding receptions in China, when he arrived at the door, there should be a noise in the banquet hall, including singing, dancing, laughing, and talking.

But he found that there was hardly any sound coming from the banquet hall at this time, and the silence was a little strange.

If it is said that it is because of being in the United States, it is very different from the domestic situation, then it is even more impossible, after all, compared with the calm and introverted of the Chinese people, the American imperialists should belong to a more enthusiastic and unrestrained race.

Lin Cheng used to watch American imperialist film and television dramas, but whenever American imperialists held cocktail parties and parties, their hustle and bustle always opened Lin Cheng's eyes.

"It's a waste of time to think about so many things that you don't have, and you can see when you go in and take a look. ”

Lin Cheng opened the door of the banquet hall, but saw Spencer, the chief butler he hired from England at the beginning of the month, standing at the door, and Spencer also found Lin Cheng at the same time and immediately walked towards Lin Cheng.

Spencer, as a housekeeper trained by the British tradition, is naturally impeccable in terms of etiquette, he bowed to Lin Cheng first, and then said with a sad face: "Sir, we sent out one hundred and fifty invitations to tonight's banquet, but there were less than thirty guests who came, I'm sorry sir, I messed up this dinner." ”

Spencer felt very guilty, as Lin Cheng's high-paid housekeeper hired from London, England, the first time he helped Lin Cheng to buy a banquet but ended up in a cold place, he thought it was caused by his own incompetence, and he was full of apologies to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng didn't react much to this, but asked lightly: "Among the more important guests, who are the people who came? Who didn't come?"

Those who are familiar with Lin Cheng know that the more flat Lin Cheng's tone is, the more angry the anger in his heart becomes, and it is obvious that he is irritated by the cold situation of the banquet tonight.

Spencer replied honestly: "The people who came were Steve Jobs, George Williams, Aidan Norton, Wies-Brown, Benjamin Fontaine, Gavin Billy, ......"

Lin Cheng was stunned when he only heard one Jobs, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, in his opinion, although Jobs is still in the street stage, his future popularity and influence are not inferior to Bill Gates.

If Jobs had not died young, it is difficult to say what epoch-making electronic products he would have drummed up, after all, Apple, under the leadership of Jobs, has always been a pioneer and trendsetter in leading technological innovation.

As for Apple in the post-Jobs era, although Tim Cook did a good job, and in terms of selling fruit machines, Tim Cook was even better than Jobs, but Apple's innovative spirit that has always been admired by the industry has inevitably disappeared.

Apple in the post-Jobs era, like some other large companies of the United States imperialism, has gradually degenerated from a great company to an ordinary large company after its initial amazement.

For example, Microsoft, from its creation to 2001, every time Microsoft released an operating system is an epoch-making technological revolution, indos95, indos98, indos2000, indosXP have all achieved great success, for Microsoft to establish an unbreakable hegemony in the computer software market.

But after entering the 21st century, perhaps because there are no opponents, the operating system released by Microsoft can no longer impress, and even the computer that the author uses now is indosXP released in 2001.

In the Jobs era, Apple's mp3s, iPhones, and iPads were all world-leading electronic products, which almost single-handedly opened the era of mobile intelligence.

After Jobs' death, what was the impression that Apple left on people? It was nothing more than the first generation of the fruit machine and the protracted litigation with Samsung, in fact, Apple, like Microsoft, was no longer great and could only eat Jobs's old book.

Spencer then added: "The distinguished guests who received the invitation but did not come are Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Steve Ballmer, Larry Elson, Jeff Bezos, Craig Barrett, Donald Unreliable, Yang Zhiyuan, David Ferro, ......"

Although Lin Cheng is about to become the richest man in the world, Lin Cheng's influence in the United States is still too weak, and China, a country with a completely different social system from the United States imperialism, has always been discriminated against by the American imperialists, so the rich people in the upper class of the American imperialists received the invitation sent by Lin Cheng, and most of them smiled contemptuously and threw them into the trash can, disdainfully.

"Hmph, today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unattainable!" After Lin Cheng said a cruel word in his heart, he took a strong breath and memorized the name of the person who did not come.

Then he patted Spencer on the shoulder and reassured: "Spencer, the reason why they didn't come is because they want to give me a dismount, warn me that this is the US imperialism, let me settle down a little, it's not that you are poorly organized, you don't have to take it to heart." Let's go, take me to meet the guests. ”

"Yes, sir. Lin Cheng's pacification had an effect, and Spencer quickly cheered up and led Lin Cheng to the guests and get acquainted with the guests who came tonight.

Although Apple is still dormant, there is no doubt that among the guests who will arrive tonight, the heaviest weight is Steve Jobs.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs, welcome. Holding the palm of the middle-aged man in front of him with a somewhat bald head and a pair of glasses, Lin Cheng said enthusiastically.

"Lin, I was originally dismissive of your invitation, but my secretary told me that Today Capital owns 5.6% of Apple's shares, and you are one of the shareholders of my Apple, so I came. "Jobs, like the legend, spoke directly and didn't know what Chinese politeness was.
