Chapter 178: First Sight of Jobs
Jobs walked over like this, and the indescribable special aura shrouded him, and his extraordinary demeanor was indescribable.
Roy stood up slightly excitedly, took two steps up, shook hands warmly and greeted each other, and welcomed the other party to the private room next to him.
Roy secretly noticed in his heart that the legendary Qiao gang leader was chic and uninhibited (casually and sloppy in clothes), obsessed with spirituality (cultivating immortals), always had a special smell on his body (often did not take a bath for several months), prodigal long hair flicked, and the standard Beatles rock style (rebellious and non-mainstream), but look at the current Qiao gang leader, he actually cut a small flat head, oh buy a ga, and there is no weird smell on his body, it is completely like a different person.
He couldn't help but sigh, the years are really a pig-killing knife, turning a good self-respecting killer Matt into a middle-aged uncle who is calm and has a sense of the overall situation.
Roy quietly put away the fragrance that had been prepared, and sure enough, the story was all a lie, you look at the current appearance of the Qiao gang leader, he is also quite easy-going, just like a normal person.
"Mr. Jobs, I've been looking up to you for a long time, and I'm glad to see you. ”
Jobs nodded, and before meeting, he also admired Roy's achievements in the past two years, so he unusually did not show impatience, but just motioned for Roy to continue.
Roy smiled and said: "Haha, when it comes to Apple computers, my hometown still has the products you designed more than ten years ago, and that style, even if it is put now, is not outdated at all." ”
Jobs was a little moved and took the initiative to ask, "Which model?"
"It's the Apple generation, and in 1976, it wasn't a computer. Roy flashed in remembrance.
Although the Apple generation sounded like a computer, the computer at that time was actually a soldered circuit board, not even a keyboard, mouse, or monitor, and only geeks and engineers knew how to play it.
The glory of the past can always evoke a person's sense of happiness or honor, and Jobs is no exception, he is also immersed in the glory of history, and even forgets that Roy is estimated to be only six or seven years old at that time, let alone playing with computers of that era, he probably can't understand it.
"Well, yes, computers at that time were actually circuit boards, and customers had to get various configurations and programming by themselves after buying them back, and the threshold for use was very high. "But we were really lucky at that time, a small electrical appliance store nearby approached us and ordered 50 Apple generations for $500 each." It's hard to imagine how lucky this rare order was for a start-up at the time. ”
Roy secretly rejoiced, the first step, to find a sense of identity, has been completed, talk about feelings and then talk about interests, hum, directly finalized. "It's incredible. ”
"Well, I still remember the shopkeeper in my heart, if it wasn't for him suggesting that we upgrade our PCs to a complete set of devices and provide them to consumers, we probably wouldn't have made Apple 2nd so quickly. ”
After that, Apple's second-generation fire not only expanded the company's customer base, but also sold it at a higher price.
Roy secretly felt that a story casually depicted by Jobs brought him into another scene with ease, which aroused your association and resonance, and was very attractive, worthy of being a future negotiator and speech genius.
In fact, Steve Jobs can only be regarded as a product guru, and he does not understand engineering technology and programming code. Wozniak was responsible for the design of Apple's early products, and Jobs's main job was to find customers.
His continued sales career is probably what shaped his excellent negotiation and presentation skills.
As the conversation got better, Roy couldn't help but get moving, "Steve, I have a bold idea. I'm fully supporting you and giving you plenty of investment, and you have the freedom to use your product talent, so how about the two of us working together to make a career together?"
Jobs was also very enthusiastic, "Are you going to invest in Apple? This is very good!"
Roy winked at Alyssa, showing off how awesome he was at negotiating, hum, be impressed by my charm, chick.
"That's right!" Roy said proudly, "I want to invest not only in Apple, but also in a big investment, sufficient investment, and even, a direct acquisition!"
Jobs was shocked and stopped talking.
Roy was so happy in his heart, hahaha, in the face of such a big deal, even if you Qiao is the leader, you can't bear it, so you can only be willing to drive it.
This feeling of smashing people with money - Meizizi.
Jobs, reconfirmed: "Are you sure you want to buy Apple?"
"I'm hungry for my $3 billion. ”
Jobs stared at Roy, no longer with excitement and joy on his face, but with a wooden face, refused: "I don't want you to do this, and I won't agree to you do this." ”
Everyone was stunned by this sudden reversal, Roy Chunfeng's smug smile froze on his face, and a wave of doubts surged in his heart, "Didn't you hear it clearly just now? Let me emphasize again, if I become the largest shareholder of Apple, then the position of CEO will be yours immediately, you will be in power, there will be no one to check and balance you, you can freely and freely exert your talents, and create new products without constraints, isn't that what you want?" Have you forgotten the unforgettable shame of being banished by the board of directors for 11 years?"
"I know exactly what you mean, and now I will answer you again seriously, if you want to buy Apple, I will not agree. ”
Roy was stunned, completely stunned to Mars, he was now equivalent to handing over military power to a general who was eager to make a contribution, but was ruthlessly rejected. I don't understand at all what misunderstanding happened between the two sides.
Alyssa observed that Roy was still in a daze of Jobs' answer, and there was a hidden guess in her heart, did Jobs still want to sit on the ground and raise the price?
She smiled and asked, "Mr. Steve, what do you think, why would you turn down such tempting conditions?"
"Yes, why?" Roy also asked anxiously, this time he came with a winning attitude, ready to show off a wave of operations, and the girls around him are watching, if you are unreasonable, even if you are my idol, I will turn my face, hum.
Jobs mused, "If you buy Apple, you're Apple's biggest director, maybe even the only director, right?"
"Sort of. But I promise, from the bottom of my heart, I'm here to support your work, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
"That's why I don't agree. ”
"That's why you're making trouble?!" Roy said angrily, is it my protagonist who can't hold a knife, or are you Jobs floating?
