"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kraft! I saw your name on the front pages of the newspapers this morning, you did a miracle last night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Jobs was not as domineering as the outside world said, he took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Ruan Erniu and said hello.

"I am very honored, Mr. Jobs, that you are my idol. Ruan Erniu said.

"Call me Steve, Kraft, and I think we need to find a quiet place to sit down and talk. Joe said.

Ruan Erniu said: "Of course, we are ready!"

Immediately, a group of five people came to the conference room booked by Ouyang Haotian in the hotel.

That's right, five people, in addition to Jobs, Ruan Erniu, Ouyang Haotian, Brian Acton, Jobs is followed by a man named Tim Cook, although he is silent most of the time.

Jobs said to Ouyang Haotian: "Steven, how long have we not seen each other?"

Ouyang Haotian said: "Four or five years, right? It seems that that year, you happened to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer." However, I didn't expect you to be miraculously alive now, and also launched the iPhone. ”

Jobs laughs: "Most pancreatic cancer patients die in the first two years of discovery, and I'm already one step in the race against death, but I have more to win." ”

Ruan Erniu admired this man more and more in his heart, ordinary people may have collapsed long ago when they learned that their lives were short, but this man used his remaining life to change the world.

"The market response to the iPhone has not met our expectations, and now only league players like Kraft or trendy young people like it will like to use it, but in the near future, it will inevitably replace Motorola and Nokia. Jobs said.

Ruan Erniu nodded and said, "This is inevitable, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have invited you to discuss......"

Jobs waved his hand and said, "One thing, I'm curious, why do you think I will definitely open the app store?"

Er Niu glanced at Ouyang Haotian and Brian Acton respectively, and said, "Intuition, purely my personal intuition. ”

Tim Cook, who was silent on the sidelines, suddenly said: "Kraft, you and Steven are actually the same kind of people. ”

Erniu asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

"Because you're all too confident in yourself," Cook said. By the way, on this point, I never agree with Steven. ”

Jobs laughed: "I don't need anyone's approval, Tim, I just need you to do your own thing." ”

Then, with a frown, Jobs said bluntly, "Give me a reason, Kraft, and give me a reason to put your app that doesn't even have a name in my app store." ”

Ruan Erniu said without hesitation: "Time, this is the only chip I have!"

Jobs loosened his brow bone, nodded and said, "Kraft, I have to say, you are the most un-NBA player IT businessman I've ever seen." Okay, I agreed, I can let the technicians under me talk about the specifics. ”

Ruan Erniu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and smiled at Ouyang Haotian and Brian Acton, but he didn't expect that the matter would be negotiated so easily.

Erniu said apprehensively: "Steven, why don't you ask us how to crack iOS?

Jobs shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, the key is that you can crack it and want to 'participate' in us." ”

Ruan Erniu once again looked at this legendary tyrant, and the mind and bearing of the person who can achieve great things are really extraordinary.

Tim Cook asked, "So what's it called? You can't send us an app, because I'm going to have a big problem with my supply chain." ”

Brian Acton said: "Whatsapp! is the result of our joint discussion, we don't care about the cost of the phone and the package, as long as there is wifi, you can call and text as much as you want. ”

Jobs laughed, "Kraft, tell me why you think I'd agree." ”

Ruan Erniu also smiled: "Of course, because Skype is slow, they are too proud to understand the future of mobile." It's like Motorola obviously developed the first generation of touchscreen phones, but it didn't stick to it. ”

Jobs propped his arm and said: "There will always be people who hold on to the past and can't let go, they will eventually fall behind or even be eliminated, and we will survive." ”

Ruan Erniu looked at this emaciated man and thought with emotion: "His life may really be short, but his name will definitely live, and most people will not forget this man who changed their lifestyle." ”

……

This is destined to be a meeting for both guests and hosts, and there is not much verbal war between the two sides, and it is completely a one-shot combination.

This has the influence of Ouyang Haotian's contacts for many years, the consideration of the practicality of WhatsApp, and the promotion of mutual benefit between the two parties.

Getting to know Jobs was also a milestone in Ruan Erniu's IT career, from this day on, he was no longer a nobody, he had the qualifications to officially end the game and start the game with those giant beasts.

Years later, Nguyen Er Niu said in his autobiography: "This was a new beginning, and even at that time, in the eyes of most people, it was nothing more than an unprofessional NBA player who successfully 'fooled' Jobs."

In fact, Jobs also needs us, because in the second month, the app store will be officially opened. This is the most critical step for the iPhone to succeed. ”

……

Ruan Erniu and his partner are negotiating business with Steve Jobs.

Billy Knight, the general manager of the Hawks, was also not idle, and he finally finalized the relevant trade.

Judging from the game, he is still very satisfied with the state of his trading partner.

"Mike, I'm pretty much done with the Kings, and for the rest of the time, give our benches a little more playing time, and they need to show their chances. Billy Knight called Woodson's phone.

"Billy, I'll do it. Do you need to talk to Kraft about this? I think he should have the right to know. Woodson said worriedly.

The current Celestial Empire is no longer a rookie who has just entered the league, and the team has a big deal, and the emotions and interests of the leader must be taken care of.

That's just like Jordan and the Bulls, James and the Cavaliers. Superstars are not only kings on the field, but also off the field, they are also the presence of the team that must make concessions and compromises.

Billy Knight said: "Of course, both Kraft and Joe should have the right to know. How do you stabilize the mood in the locker room without their support?"

Woodson thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Kraft has a negative attitude? He has a good relationship with those players. ”

Billy Knight laughed and said, "You're wrong, Mike, the Celestial Empire is a realistic person, and he is far more mature than you think." His goal is bound to be a championship and a Hall of Fame, so he'll understand it all very quickly. ”

Woodson nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell Kraft and Joe about this tonight." ”

On the evening of January 31 in Los Angeles, Nguyen Erniu did not stay with Jennifer in her apartment because Woodson called: "The deal is confirmed!" (to be continued.) )
