Even under the mediation of Bill Campbell, the first meeting between Zhang Chen and Jobs ended in extreme unhappiness for both parties. After Zhang Chen left, Bill looked at Jobs with regret, "Steve, your prejudice against the Chinese has affected your judgment. ”

Jobs said angrily: "Coach, this has nothing to do with whether he is a Chinese or not. And from this kid, I know that my opinion of the Chinese people is not wrong, they are all a group of rats who have no taste and cultivation when they see money!"

I have to say that Zhang Chen's previous behavior of poking Jobs's scar made this arrogant and conceited genius extremely angry. Jobs' rise to fame as a teenager can be said to have been smooth sailing, except that he was kicked out of Apple's board of directors in the 80s, which became the Waterloo of his life. And the Pixar animation and NeXT computer companies he founded after leaving Apple were also very successful.

Needless to say, Pixar, after Jobs bought the special effects company from George Lucas for $10 million, it became the second dream place for children in the world besides Disney. In the end, although it was acquired by Disney for $7.4 billion, it is still the most creative and technologically advanced animation company in the world.

And NeXT is even more remarkable, after Jobs returned to Apple, Apple acquired the company created by Jobs. At the time, many people thought that Jobs was a fake public servant, but it turned out that this was not the case. At the heart of the later critically acclaimed MacOSX operating system was Openstep developed by NeXT.

Bill said to Jobs solemnly, "Steve, you've crossed the line." I told you before that prejudice and arrogance can blind your victorious eyes and disturb your calm and rational mind, making you stupid. And there is no doubt that your dislike for this Chinese teenager comes from ignorance and prejudice, oh yes, and arrogance. ”

Jobs calmed down, but still said: "Coach, I trust my own judgment, this is not a bias, but a feedback of the nature of things. ”

Seeing that Jobs was so persistent, Bill sighed in his heart, originally wanted to talk to Jobs about Zhang Chen's views on globalization just now, but now he is not interested.

Jobs was silent for a while, and then said to Bill: "By the way, Bill, I want to consult you on an important matter this time." ”

Bill Campbell cheered up, "What's the matter?"

Jobs flashed his habitual sarcastic smile again: "Amelio sent me an email to buy my NeXT for $120 million. ”

Bill laughs: "It seems that their move to develop a new generation of operating systems is not going well. ”

Jobs nodded, sarcastically: "Apple's board of directors is now controlled by a bunch of idiots, so they will have to choose a more idiotic CEO to be at ease." As for Amerio, Ellison told me the other day that a reporter asked the idiot how the Apple was doing, and he actually said that the Apple was like a ship full of treasures, but there was a hole in the ship, and his job was to make sure that everyone on the boat was paddling in one direction. ”

"Haha, that's so funny, isn't his most important job to fix the hole first? When Larry told me about it, we were eating sushi and I almost fell off my chair with laughter. Jobs sneered harshly.

Bill showed his trademark smile: "This is an opportunity, Apple doesn't have enough cash to complete the acquisition, only through stock." If the acquisition is successful, you can return to the board. ”

Jobs nodded, "Yes, I think so too." But it's impossible to buy my NeXT for $120 million, and it is said that he also offered Louis Garcy $80 million to buy Be, also to get Louis's BeOS operating system. But Louis seemed to feel that Amelio had no choice and offered $400 million. If Amelio wants to buy NeXT, he will have to pay at least $400 million before I can ******* laugh and said, "At the same price, Amelio will definitely accept your return price, and Louis should have miscalculated this time." ”

Jobs smiled proudly: "Compared to NEXTSTEP, BeOS is just a math homework for elementary school students. ”

Jobs realized that he had made another mistake of arrogance in front of Bill, and restrained his expression: "Of course, it takes more mistakes from this stupid Amelio." I had to paralyze him, I would email him back, compliment him on his work, invite him to visit NeXT, and I would demonstrate to him the superior capabilities of NEXTSTEP in person. But before I do that, I want you to give me some advice. As a coach, you are the best. ”

Bill patted Jobs on the shoulder and held up the Budweiser Light in his hand, "Steve, I have no doubt that you will succeed." Success is as easy for you as it is to eat. As your coach, the only piece of advice I can give you is not to make Amelio cry. I don't want to see anyone on the board crying like a. ”

Jobs also raised the beer in his hand and said with a smile: "Bill, I knew you would support my decision." ”

Bill and Jobs clinked glasses, "Of course I'll always have your back." Except, of course, when you're carried away by pride and prejudice. ”

Jobs was dissatisfied: "Hey, Bill, what kind of ecstasy did that Chinese monkey pour you into so that you didn't side with me?"

Bill shrugged, "You know, Steve, since I left Apple and you hired me as your coach, my job has been to supervise and teach you to find the right direction. I know you like RB and hate Huaxia, but if you want to be a great person, you have to overcome and suppress your likes and dislikes, and look at things more objectively. ”

Jobs said unconcernedly, "Okay, Bill." I hate this kid anyway, and I'll email all the investment companies when I get back in a while, and I don't recommend that any of them buy his shitty site. In the meantime, I would email USCIS suggesting that his visa be terminated and that he get back to his shitty country. ”

There was a hint of cunning in Bill's eyes, "Oh? Are you afraid of his growth?"

Jobs said dismissively, "No, no, Bill, your agitation is terrible, I just don't like this kind of uncreative and artistic beauty." The fact that such a site exists in this world and makes money is an insult to creators who focus on beauty and art. ”
