Obviously, Jobs is still haunted by the last time Apple stock was sniped. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I didn't expect you to cooperate with those people and seek skin with tigers. ”

Liu Chen also showed great sincerity when he came, and said: "Mr. Jobs, I was also forced to be helpless, please believe that I have always wanted to cooperate with you, but you ignore my sincerity." ”

"Do you want to become a major shareholder in Apple?" Jobs immediately understood Liu Chen's intentions, he is a person who takes money very lightly, but has a strong desire to control, he can tolerate not having a stake in Apple, but he can't tolerate opposition in Apple.

"Actually, bits and pieces, I already own quite a few shares in Apple. Liu Chen said with a smile.

"How much money do you want to invest, how much stake do you want to get?" Jobs asked in a deep voice, full of vigilance.

"Coupled with the exclusive licensing of all the patented technologies of the iPod-mini and smart mobile terminals, in exchange for a 4% stake, I want you to convince the stubborn old guys, of course, that in return, I will always support you as CEO of Apple and not meddle in any management matters. ”

Jobs's eyes lit up, and then he was a little worried: "It's probably very difficult to get those guys who fall into the eyes of money to transfer 4% of the shares, and no one knows whether your technology is useful or not." ”

If the public knew that the smart mobile terminals vigorously developed by Apple were also involved in a large number of infringements, I am afraid that the stock price would fall to a record low, and it would not be difficult for me to buy 4% of the stock myself. ”

Jobs said unceremoniously: "If that's the case, is Apple stock still worth buying?"

Very sharp and to the point.

If Apple can't develop smart mobile terminals such as iPhones and iPads, and it's just a music player, the potential has come to an end, and it's really not worth Liu Chen's purchase.

"If that's the case, I'm sure there are a lot of financial predators who want to make a move, and then the competition will definitely be fierce, and you still won't be able to achieve your goal. Jobs told the truth.

Liu Chen did not refute either, and agreed: "What Mr. Jobs said is very right, I am sure that I can't compete with these people, but Apple is destined to become the greatest company in the world through smart mobile terminals, and the company created by Mr. Jobs is likely to become the plaything of financiers, hehe, purely for profit, and reduced to a mediocre company." ”

This obviously hit Jobs's soft underbelly, Jobs was expelled from Apple after a second venture, and achieved good results, the reason why he is willing to return to Apple this time is to hope to turn this company he created into the world's greatest company, it can be said that this is Jobs's deep desire in his heart, after listening to Liu Chen's analysis, he didn't understand that this was indeed the case, gave up bargaining, and said directly:" Patented technology, those guys who only know how to count money don't understand what patented technology is, your conditions are still a bit harsh, what else do you have?"

Now that Jobs gave up bargaining, Liu Chen also said sincerely: "In addition, I have a lot of Huaxia trademarks, and to be honest, I have mastered the technology of producing smart mobile terminals. ”

"Because we've developed a ready-made?"

"You are wrong, Mr. Jobs, technical problems are not a problem for me, the main reason is because you are in Apple, I hereby send you an invitation, if you can't reach a cooperation this time, I implore Mr. Jobs to join my company, together to sell smart mobile terminals to all corners of the world, become a leading fashion and life products. Liu Chen's words were sonorous and powerful.

Liu Chen has been hesitant, if there is no Jobs, and Apple only has smart mobile terminals, can Apple become the world's largest company in terms of market capitalization?

Jobs was a little moved, but then sighed and said: "The reason why I returned to Apple is because she is Apple, and it is impossible for me to come out to cooperate with you, Apple is my dream in this life." ”

Liu Chen's face immediately looked a little unpleasant.

Throwing off his sleeves, it is clear that the negotiations have failed again.

Liu Chen was also extremely depressed, he really wanted to cooperate with Jobs and push Apple to unprecedented heights as soon as possible, but Jobs's vigilance was too heavy and his temper was too hard, so he was really not a suitable negotiation partner.

If you want to grow by leaps and bounds, Apple and FB are not to be missed.

Just when Liu Chen was about to return to China, he unexpectedly received a call from Steve Jobs, and the place where he met was not Apple's headquarters, but his home.

Steve Jobs moved here in the mid-90s.

Liu Chen has always believed that one of the best ways to understand a person, especially his outlook on life and values, is to understand his living space.

Steve Jobs fascinated the world because he not only changed the way people lived, but also changed the way people saw the world, and he also redefined many industries in today's world.

Many people just think that Steve Jobs is a successful businessman, or a great entrepreneur, who will make money, which is a very one-sided understanding.

Jobs was waiting for Liu Chen at the door of his home.

The front door, walls, and floors are made of ordinary bricks.

For the sake of privacy, a few pots of evergreens were placed at the door to shade it, which was beautiful and polite compared to building a cold high wall.

There is also no sign at the door: no visits, or any bodyguards standing guard.

The roof is blue, and the red-roofed building across the street seems to be more imposing than the Steve Jobs' house.

The neighbor next to Jobs's house is a deep house compound, the trees and flowers are neatly and beautifully repaired, and even the bricks for building walls and paving roads are more positive than those of Jobs's house.

In this simple town, the Jobs family is quite ordinary, but it is also the most distinctive, because the garden of the Jobs family is planted with apple trees.

Liu Chen glanced at it, and saw a few fruits sparsely hanging on the tree.

Jobs and his wife greeted Liu Chen together, this is a very beautiful and temperamental woman, Liu Chen didn't understand Jobs's intentions, but he gladly accepted.

"Mr. Liu, welcome to your home. Lorenna said with a smile.

Liu Chen also greeted with a smile.

Jobs has always given the public the impression of being proud, selfish, and unapproachable. He refused to accept his own daughter, refused to allow any woman to dominate his emotions, and because of his stubbornness, he had lost the Apple company that he had worked so hard to run.

Life in the 80s was a mess because of emotional problems, until he met the young and beautiful Laurenna at the age of 39.

Liu Chen also observed this beautiful and wise woman.

Jobs invited Liu Chen into his home.

Liu Chen noticed that the exterior wall of their master bedroom was made of bricks removed from elsewhere, which looked broken and untidy, and there was a sense of vicissitudes of time.

Just looking at this wall, you will feel that you have come to a certain rural village in China.

Seeing Liu Chen paying attention to the wall, Jobs explained: "I very much appreciate the artistic taste of the architect who built this house. ”

Liu Chen nodded yes.

The windows in the master bedroom are extremely simple and unadorned, without any frills, and the curtains are in white tones, so you don't see any luxury.

The side doors, the door panels are made of ordinary logs, the walls are made of broken bricks, and the corridors are paved with untidy broken bricks, making it hard to imagine that one of the richest people in the world lives here.

And the back door is even lower and old.

In the courtyard, there is a specially shaped iron structure object, which is supposed to symbolize the fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations: two vertical iron rods form a cross, which symbolizes Western Christian civilization, and the sleek triangular shape inlaid on the iron pillars may represent the level of the stupa.

Jobs had been observing Liu Chen, and he didn't bother when he saw him looking around, and said at this time: "I think that only by combining Eastern and Western civilizations and learning from each other's strengths can creativity be stimulated." ”

Liu Chen nodded and didn't speak, he agreed with Jobs's concept of living, natural, simple, this is the true meaning of life.

Jobs' personality and distinction can be seen from the residence.

Then, Jobs invited Liu Chen to take care of the vegetable garden together, and Liu Chen gladly accepted.

It's hard to imagine that the two bigwigs are in full swing in the vegetable garden.

Jobs said meaningfully: "I didn't expect you to do farm work." ”

Liu Chen disagreed, "Mr. Jobs, don't forget, the most important thing we lack in China is farmers, and my family has always had a vegetable garden, and I often help my mother take care of it, but I didn't expect that you would also grow vegetables." ”

"I like plants that grow naturally, and I don't like animals that feed on other animals, which eventually become food for humans. ”

Liu Chen said with a smile: "I can't see this, every day there is no meat and no joy." ”

"It's a personal choice. Jobs didn't care, and continued: "I've been thinking about it for the past six months, and at the beginning of the year, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and the doctor announced that he only had 3 to 6 months to live. ”

Liu Chen's face was shocked, sure enough, the thing that should come is still coming, the two have met many times this year, but they didn't feel the strangeness of Jobs at all, Liu Chen thought that the trajectory of the world had changed.

"But half a year later, I was miraculously healed, and I was able to pass with death, all thanks to the help of my wife. Throughout my cancer treatment, Laurena was by my side and encouraged me every day to overcome my illness. ”

Liu Chen was silent.

Jobs went on to say: "Laurenna's support for me in life and career has always been unwavering, and I don't know if I would have survived without her, and I couldn't have found the meaning of life more than a decade ago." ”

The two worked together, saying a few words from time to time.

Liu Chen couldn't help but say: "Mr. Jobs, you still have to take care of your body to prevent the recurrence of your condition." ”

Jobs smiled easily, "You may not know, since I was 6 years old, I thought about death every day, and it didn't bother me. ”

Liu Chen also said that Jobs was obviously a person with a strong worldview and beliefs, and should not try to convince such a person.

Everything in Jobs' home was simple, compact, pragmatic and comfortable.

The couple planted 6 acres of flowers and plants around the house and created a small vegetable garden.

Laurenna brought apple juice to the two of them.

Apples were Jobs' favorite food, and Liu Chen liked them too.

It was a great pleasure to visit and didn't talk about anything about work.

Liu Chen's understanding of Jobs is also more three-dimensional, admiring this paranoid genius, and he is also very happy that he can achieve a peaceful life in middle age.

The next day, Jobs called Liu Chen again and made an appointment to meet again at Apple's headquarters.

For three days in a row, they met every day, which was probably the first and only time in Jobs's life, and Cook felt incredible, and he couldn't guess what his boss wanted to do.

Liu Chen came to the day before yesterday again, and this time Cook was waiting there.

The little girl at the front desk was surprised to see the young man who had arrived three days earlier walk into the CEO's office, and Mr. Jobs really had to meet him.

"I think I'll try my best to convince those stubborn guys to give you the shares you want, hehe, if I have shares, I'd be willing to give them all to you, but unfortunately my shares have already been sold, and I'm not going to be a slave to money anyway. Jobs said with a smile.

Liu Chen also understood that Jobs joked about his pursuit of money, and both of them understood that once the smart mobile terminal was successfully listed, Apple's market value would increase by many times, and what a huge amount of money it was, Liu Chen said disapprerovitously: "Then I will wait for Mr. Jobs's good news, I believe it must be good news." ”

After talking about business, Jobs relaxed a lot and said with a smile: "Are you a student or a businessman?"

"In fact, technology, art, and business are all connected, and they are all in a certain field to do what most people can't do, and there are not many people in this world who are willing to use their brains, most of them passively accept what the world gives, what exists, all they can think about is to live so easily, but the result may backfire, and the more people who want to be relaxed, the more relaxed they are. ”

Jobs didn't expect Liu Chen to talk about philosophy all of a sudden, nodded and said: " Indeed, I figured this out after a year of studying in college, and I thought about what kind of career a young person should be engaged in after all, and how I should spend my life, although it was not clear at the time, but the only thing that was certain was that it must not be consumed in the boring homework assigned by the teacher, and it must not be consumed in the meaningless tasks assigned by the boss, I must do something that I am really interested in and no one does, and I have the same answer to the question that young people always like to ask me what kind of job I should do in many speeches。 ”

Liu Chen was very interested in what kind of answer Jobs would say, and asked curiously: "What kind of work is it?"

"I will say that the most important work for young people should be to have an upward ladder and a sky to look up to, and how to climb up as clear and objective as possible, and then strive for it, although in the end it may not reach much high, and even take a year of hard work is the same as those who go with the flow at the beginning, but it is much harder, but they have the process of struggling for a lifetime, rather than being able to see at a glance thirty years later. Fifty years later, work and life are mechanically consuming life, and the moment when you close your eyes and go to another world must be very sad, and what flashes in front of you must be the most primitive dream of childhood, and at that moment you must regret and want to start over, but the reality is still to live first. ”

Liu Chen also agreed, and said: "If you go to a kindergarten and ask those children what they have dreams and what they want to do in the future, everyone will be excited to chirp, and their hearts will be surging to paint a bizarre scene for you, but you go to the primary school to ask those children, probably only some of the children who have spare time to learn still have dreams, other children just study mechanically, the biggest willingness is probably to take the exam a little better, parents don't scold, it is best to be able to be admitted to key junior high school, to junior high school, In high school, there are fewer and fewer people who have dreams, until they graduate and enter the society to support themselves, dreams have become a self-deprecating luxury, and the reality that people have to accept and face in their lives is probably the process of dreams and imagination constantly dying, I especially want to create a school, in this school everything is free, the only thing to do is to find your interests and pursuits, and then go to achieve it, that's all, I really want to see what will happen in ten or twenty years. ”

"So is the idea starting to be implemented?"

Liu Chen said: "What does Mr. Jobs think?"

Obviously, if Liu Chen didn't do it, he himself was just a mediocre person, in fact, he had already done it, Gyeongju Vocational and Technical School, select some talented junior high school students, high school students and college students at Mizuki University, there is no clear pressure to go on to higher education or graduation here, everything is guided by interests, and life is completely supported by the school.

"It's always beautiful to talk about dreams, and now for my dreams, I'm going to go back and convince those old stubborns. ”

The two chatted for another half an hour, and the more they chatted, the more they found that they were very deed-worthy, and they all belonged to the kind of people who had dreams and courage to realize them.

Intelligent mobile terminal, Jobs will never give up, he will do his best to achieve Liu Chen's requirements, but before that, he has to investigate, after thinking about it comprehensively, he admires this young man very much.

Two days later, Jobs replied to Liu Chen, as a result, Liu Chen's stake in Apple increased to 5%, which also depended on the last sniper operation, and a group of old guys on the board of directors were frightened, really afraid that Apple's stock would fall worthless again, and they would lose money.

Since then, Liu Chen has been the sixth largest shareholder of Apple and has the conditions to enter the board of directors, and Jobs has also left selfish intentions.

During the trip to the United States, all the things to be dealt with were achieved, and Liu Chen's heart was like an arrow.

The launch of the Yinba 3, with its unique large-screen design and cool touch controls, left other brands behind at once, and its sales continued to rise, surpassing the previous two generations of products and once again leading the trend.

Thanks to the sales channels of Ba e-commerce, Yinba 3 is all sold online, and no longer cooperates with Gumei or Su Bo, so that the sales of e-commerce have also seen a blowout, and the traffic has increased a lot, driving other products, and sales have gradually risen.
