Chapter 618: The Bigwigs Are Online
Jobs, who has always been quite forbearing, was finally annoyed by this sentence, and the next storm was raging. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You bitch-raised bastard, you fucking say it again, it's not me who brought the apple to the abyss, it's a bunch of idiots, bastards who let me go, and the reason why this world is so ugly is because ****** you are such a self-righteous fool ......"
Before Jobs left Apple, several bigwigs who became directors looked calm and not surprised, although Jobs scolded them, habit became natural.
The young man's face turned red, he was a famous genius on Wall Street, the protégé of the big guy Kayi, when had he been humiliated like this?
"Mr. Jobs, I represent the majority of shareholders and Mr. Kaye on the Board of Directors. He bites the word Kaye, Apple's largest individual shareholder and the eighth largest shareholder, particularly hard.
Who is Kayi?
His name has previously been dubbed as "speculator", "activist investor" and even "corporate predator", the real big man on Wall Street, ranked 37th on the Forbes list of the world's richest people in 2003, with total assets of more than $10 billion.
Jobs stared at him and said in a sarcastic tone, "so-funking...... what?”
The young man gasped for breath, and the journey was smooth, and he had been treated like this, and he snorted and stopped talking.
"Steve, we're not questioning your decision, we're puzzled, if you want, you can tell us what you think, and of course, if you refuse, we all respect you completely, just like we said when we asked you to come back, Apple, created by you, is now completely up to you to drive where it goes. ”
The old and dignified Twenson said gently, with a polite scholarly demeanor.
He joined Apple's board of directors in 2000 and became co-lead director in 2002.
The unruly Jobs gave Twenson a lot of face.
Twenson is also well-known on Wall Street and even in the American technology community, and he is quite legendary.
In 1980, with a Ph.D. from Princeton University, he joined Genomics as a scientist.
In 1995, he became the CEO of Gene Technologies.
At that time, the gene technology company had financial problems, and the major shareholders sold their shares to accumulate wealth, and the operation was very sluggish.
Twenson adheres to his own scholarly style, increases the company's R&D investment, streamlines the company's scientific research projects, and stimulates the innovation enthusiasm of the scientific research team. This was followed by the introduction of a series of well-known drugs to the market, and the gene technology company also transformed from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy to a giant in the biological field with annual revenues of more than 10 billion US dollars, creating a Wall Street myth.
Jobs said: "The Chinese market will become the second largest in the world after North America, and it must enter the layout in advance, and before a bunch of self-righteous Wall Street fools don't react, when they rush in waving money, it will no longer be an opportunity." ”
"Heh, the Chinese are still a bunch of monkeys who don't have enough to eat, and the most important thing for them is bananas and not music. "The young man who represents Kayi, Alai, is young and vigorous in the end, and he can't stand Jobs's sarcasm and ridicule.
Jobs squinted his eyes and gave him a dangerous glow, staring at him and saying word for word: "Get-out-of-here, now, right-now." ”
The iconic Joe's hysteria is all out.
Twenson waved his hand and said, "Alai, you go out first, the major shareholders of the company fully trust Mr. Jobs, and so does Mr. Kaye, I believe that he asked you to come over, just to learn, or to suggest, not to say." ”
The gentle tone was obviously different from Jobs's roar, but it also carried a force of obedience, and when Alley saw that the two giants had driven him away, he left indignantly, and said with hatred in his heart: "What's the big deal? ”
As Jobs grew older, his ability to control his temper also improved, he took a breath and took the initiative to explain to the other seven: "China's economic growth rate has exceeded 10% continuously, the penetration rate of computers is getting higher and higher, and the total sales of MP3 in 2003 exceeded 2 million. ”
Tebrune took off his glasses, as an independent director, he must bear that responsibility with his full reputation, pinched his sour nose, and said: "The European market is larger than the North American market, and there is also the Japanese island market, both of which are very standardized, and they are also applicable to ipod+iTunes, while the Chinese market does not attach importance to intellectual property rights, and piracy is everywhere, I am worried that the iPod that relies on iTunes to succeed can defeat the popular USB flash drive MP3 in the Chinese market?"
That's professionalism, to the point.
Jobs' face changed slightly.
"Our management miscalculated the sales of the iPod mini, resulting in supply far from keeping up with sales, and when we have to temporarily abandon a part of the market, it is really difficult to choose a safe regulated market or open up an unknown emerging market, and I have no better advice, Steve, go for it. ”
Very clever way of suggestion, I only analyze, how to do it is up to you.
Jobs's fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was moved, and several other people were raised and waited, Jobs has always been arbitrary, they don't have enough weight to speak, it's better not to say, but their position is to temporarily abandon the Chinese market.
Cook was so settled that everyone was about to ignore his presence.
The last conversation with Liu Chen at Harvard was always in his throat, and he had to fight back strongly, so that the kid who dared to peek at the apple in the dark would pay a painful price and go straight to the base camp.
"I still decided to enter the Chinese market, if everything is mature and standardized, it will be a fool, not a responsible CEO. ”
He bit the CEO hard and told these people, Apple, I'm in complete charge.
The final word, despite the disappointment, the directors said no more.
The meeting dispersed.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of his office looking out at the night scene, Jobs was never at ease, he always felt that something was going to happen, this was the timberwolf's perception of danger, but what could it be? He couldn't think of anything to worry about, he firmly controlled Apple, and as for the stock price continued to soar, even if it fell, he didn't care.
Cook was by the side, with a hidden concern in his eyes, and a little ...... Emotion. (To be continued.) )
