Humanity is great because of dreams, that's a good slogan. We don't have the right to decide whether others have high aspirations or a stable life, but we can make our own choices, and some people are born to dream and are good at making their dreams come true.

Someone has said that the progress of science and technology comes from imagination, and this sentence is naturally true. If you can't even think of it, how can you use your knowledge to achieve it? There are three magic apples in this world, the good and evil fruits that gave wisdom to Adam and Eve, the naughty apple that hit Newton, and the apple that Steve Jobs stole a bite into.

The Apple building is located in Cupertino, California, and it may be the same way that big companies disdain to be located in Silicon Valley or big cities, but it will still be respected.

Still in the car, Lin Fan saw Jobs waiting downstairs, Jobs is a very proud person, but it does not mean that he is a fool, he often exports to employees, he laughs at the staff who are not highly skilled, but he will also maintain a respectful attitude towards people who are better than him.

"Lin, you're very welcome. ”

Lin Fan naturally held Jobs' hand, the existence he looked up to in his previous life is now equal, "The maker of God's mobile phone, I am also full of expectations." ”

In the next time, Lin Fan and Apple's current executives met and shook hands one by one, and then the group entered the company's conference room in a big way. Lin Fan is not here for sightseeing, but has a new idea.

It is an indisputable fact that Apple's mobile phone will become more and more popular in the future. At present, the Angry Birds developed by rovio must be popular all over the world through the medium of the Apple Store, and even if Lin Fan wants to make PS the first mobile office software, he must also use the platform of the Apple Store, just as Mortal Security quickly opened the situation with the help of the Microsoft System Store.

Lin Fan must start in advance, the future of mobile office is a major trend, not only mobile office, mobile video, mobile games will be on fire in the terminal of smart phones, Lin Fan is now doing what a content provider should do, investing in games and videos everywhere. It's just that now he can't be a supplier, and he knows too little about mobile phone development, so he can only wait for future investments to have his own platform.

Why did Lin Fan come to talk in person? Apple is really not a good thing, and in the future, Huaxia's products will have to be shared with Apple if they want to enter the Apple store, such as the mighty Zhihu case. But it must obey Apple's overlord clause, otherwise it will not be able to open the huge American and even world markets.

In 2012, Apple introduced a new clause: if your app is for sale or promotion, shows an app developed by someone else, and behaves in a similar or confusing way to the Apple App Store, it will not pass the review. This vague term means that Apple can decide which software it can put on or off the shelves as it pleases. Lin Fan has no doubt that even if he appears in this life, Apple will still introduce similar terms. Then it was necessary for him to come here.

"Mr. Steve, with all due respect, I think you already know my intentions and whether you are interested in working together. ”

Jobs motioned for the staff on both sides to leave, and to be honest, Jobs's expectations for Lin Fan are also coming, especially as an Internet practitioner. He knows very well that the company under Lin Fan's name has not yet developed at all, and once it develops, it will definitely play a huge role.

"I am very interested in the Chinese market in Mr. Lin's mouth, where mortal products are free to enter the Apple store, and Apple uses the influence of mortals to promote Apple. It's just that when he said this, Jobs shook his head, "But Apple is a completely different system from existing products, and I don't think that the promotion of mortals will bring much benefit to Apple." ”

Jobs was very serious about his opinion, but in fact he was already moved. The Apple Store is a cross-generational approach, and this is the first time that Apple has developed some code to allow other content manufacturers to make software applications that are partially suitable for Apple's system, and since its creation in March this year, there have been fewer than 1,000 apps in the Apple Store, and even fewer people have downloaded them. So no matter how smart and confident Jobs was in his products, he couldn't have predicted how great the Apple Store would be in the future.

Moreover, Lin Fan's proposal that all the products of the mortal system enter the Apple Store for free, which is not a problem for Jobs at all. Even if the mortal product is too profitable in the future, he can kick Lin Fan out of the game at any time by modifying the terms. In fact, he was very interested in Lin Fan's control of the huge Huaxia market.

According to the current trend, Lin Fan's mortal products extend to all aspects: mobile payment, mobile office, and mobile entertainment. Over time, mortals will surely become monsters that Apple and Microsoft combined can't match. If Apple wants to rule the world, it needs an ally to help him fight the growing Android community.

"Actually, I can negotiate with Mr. Steve commercially and pay Apple a fee to get the right to settle in the product. But why did I come in person? Just to make friends with Mr. Steve. ”

Previously, Jobs had been speculating about the significance of Lin Fan's entry into the Apple Store. He had a hunch that Lin Fan must have unknown plans, so he planned to add conditions. But he didn't expect that Lin Fan didn't play cards according to common sense at all, was he really not interested in the Apple Store?

Lin Fan sneered in his heart, it is undeniable that Jobs is a genius figure, he created the first generation of personal computers and the Apple mobile phone that changed people's lifestyles, but at the same time he is also a very qualified business person, deceitful and cunning all kinds of means are used to the extreme.

But Lin Fan is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past, Lin Fan naturally has his own way of negotiating, "If Mr. Steve can't find out the benefits I can bring, you might as well imagine the disadvantages I may bring." If I preemptively register all of Apple's trademarks in Huaxia, will it bring inconvenience to Apple's entry into the Huaxia market? For example, in order to protect the development of national enterprises, we led Huaxia mobile phone manufacturers to submit a protection bill to demand an increase in customs taxes on foreign mobile phones? For example, there may be a danger of information leakage on Apple's mobile phones?

As an Internet practitioner, what he is best at is to find value through user information, and what he is most afraid of is losing user trust. An Internet company that is not trusted is bound to perish.

"Mr. Lin was a real eye-opener for me, it was the first time I had encountered a direct threat to a door-to-door negotiation. ”

"I'm actually friendly, I'm afraid it's Mr. Steve, but unfortunately I happen to have that strength. ”

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be sparks in the air colliding, and then a good story was born in the Internet world, and later generations divided Apple into two stages in 2008, which is also the two stages of Jobs's life.......
