"Has Logitech's order been sent, and can you ensure that the supply will be completed before 10 days?"

"The first batch of 3,500 units of Forsycom has been loaded onto the ship? How long will it take to arrive at the port? Yes, after arriving at the port, customs clearance as soon as possible, time is running out. ”

"Site Scheme。。。。。。 ”

"Yes, this page of PPT needs to be revised again, my idea is。。。。。。 ”

"Rachel, add these two media outlets to the PR list as well, yes, you can ask Casey about the specifics. ”

As the official launch of iCom approached, Matrix was working at full capacity, hiring more jobs and subcontracting a lot of work to various labor outsourcing companies and consulting firms.

Zhang Chen was also so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and the PPT at the press conference alone had already changed drafts several times, and even a burden had to be done with several layers of foreshadowing, and each layer of foreshadowing had to be carefully considered which words to use, which made Shen Mingjie miserable.

"Okay, I see, I'll get back to you when I'm done, Samantha, you inform Bob and Andy, go to Johnny's for a meeting in a moment. Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone. Zhang Chen picked up his phone while arranging work, "Hi, Jonny, what's the matter? ”

With the expansion of Matrix, in order to give the design team a better working environment, Jonathan's office has moved to another office building across the road, which has been bought by Matrix for two million dollars, although the area is not large, only two floors, less than 3,000 square meters of office space, but it is not a big problem to cope with it in a short time.

"I'll tell you the news, Amelio has been fired. Jonathan Ivey said quickly on the phone.

Zhang Chen was stunned, so fast? It seems that Jobs's movements in this life are much faster than in his previous life.

"When did it happen?" Zhang Chen asked in a deep voice.

Jonathan's British accent is strong: "Just now, Apple's board of directors informed the group's management that the official announcement should be made immediately, and my friend at Apple called me just five minutes ago. ”

Zhang Chen thought for a while: "Who is the successor?

Jonathan, of course, didn't know, "I didn't know yet, the board just told all the executives that the CEO was being selected, and CFO Fred Anderson would take Amelio's place on an interim basis." But now everyone is rumoring that Steve may return to the role of CEO of Apple. ”

Zhang Chen said in a deep voice: "It's not possible, the successor must be Jobs." ”

Jonathan Ivey was surprised: "What did you hear? No? It is said that Steve has long rejected Apple's board of directors, and now Apple is in a bad situation, and his Pixar is in good condition, so he shouldn't wade into this troubled water." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "You wait and see, there should be news soon, but you don't want to go back to Apple, right?"

Jonathan Ivey laughed, "How is that possible? ”

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "That's right, our career has just begun. ”

Amelio's eyes widened, his eyebrows erected, and he held up the phone and whispered, "Ed, stop kidding!"

Ed Woolrad said calmly: "We are not kidding, this is the result of our five-hour conference call. Jill, you're fired. ”

Amelio didn't believe it: "No, it's impossible! Now that Apple is starting to get on the right track, I 。。。。。。 ”

Ed Woolrad said loudly: "Apple lost $620 million again in the first quarter, is this what you said is on the right track?"

Amelio exasperated: "Compared to the same period last year, the loss has dropped by 30%! I am confident that this momentum will be curbed by the end of this year! ”

Ed Woolrad interrupted Amelio: "Jill, stop saying any more, let's all keep some decency, maybe you don't think it's your responsibility, but the board can't watch Apple continue to slide into the abyss." Moreover, the board could not understand that their CEO was still in the mood to spend a vacation in Florida in such an emergency. ”

Amelio didn't give up: "What about Lisa and Pinal? I'm going to talk to them." ”

Ed Woolrad didn't hesitate to say, "They also voted yes." ”

Amelio fell into an ice cave: "They promised to support me!"

Ed Woolrad no longer wanted to entangle with Amerio: "Mr. Amerio, thank you very much for everything you have done for Apple, now this is the official notice, you have been fired, someone will come and do the handover with you, that's all, goodbye." ”

Amelio held up the microphone in a daze, "Dad, there's a beautiful coral there, you can come down and take a look." Amelio's youngest daughter, with a hose on her head, came up to him with a water hose on her head.

"Huh?" Amelio came back to his senses, with a complicated look on his face, "Gina, you go play first, Daddy will come over later." ”

Amelio thought about it, and instead of contacting Lisa and Pinal, who had promised to support him, on the board of directors, he called Jobs.

He was ready for Jobs not to answer the phone, but unexpectedly, after only two rings, Jobs's voice came.

"Hi, Jill, I heard the news, they went too far to treat you like this. Like an old friend, Jobs was indignant about Amelio on the phone.

The corners of Amelio's mouth moved: "Steve, did you do it?"

Jobs pretended to be stupid: "What do you mean? God, Jill, you don't think I'm behind all this, do you?"

Amelio had already figured everything out at this time, and Jobs and Fred Anderson exaggerated Apple's current financial difficulties to the board, and at the same time, Jobs sold all the Apple shares in his hands, giving Apple a heavy blow in external pressure, and the board of directors panicked and chose themselves to be the scapegoat.

Amelio sneered, "Steve, when did you start planning all this? It was Newton's thing two months ago? No, you probably thought about it when you sold NeXT to Apple, right?"

Jobs was unfazed, still in that concerned tone: "Jill, you're really thinking too much, uh, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for you." I'm from here, and I've been swept away by Apple, and frankly, it was really bad. But now that you think about it, the first few months away from Apple were really very valuable time, and I give you a piece of advice, don't be in such a hurry to find a job, with your ability and qualifications, it is not difficult to find a better job than Apple, you can use this time to spend more time with your family。。。。。。。 ”

Amelio sneered and listened to Jobs's chatter of "care" on the phone, "Okay, Steve, I know, I wish you a bright future, but, you and I are no longer friends, never again." ”

"Duh... Honk... Honk... Jobs heard the beep on the phone, and the look on his face was very complicated.

Larry Ellison and Bill Campbell looked at each other, "You seem to feel sorry for Amelio?

Jobs pouted: "Of course not, he's the worst CEO I've ever seen, and he should have left this position a long time ago, I just think Apple's decision was made too late." ”

Bill Campbell smiled, "Steve, your acting skills have regressed... ”
