Chapter 345: Chicken Soup for the Soul of the Li Family
When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.
That being said, when it's so hard to weigh the pros and cons, how can it be so easy to decide?
No matter how difficult it is, it still has to be broken.
Rather than having a strong opponent in the future, it is better to stabilize a strong ally now.
With Li Jiaming's determination, Apple, which has a market value of 120 billion, has become the prey of Yahoo, and the entire Silicon Valley has been stunned. One is the god of Yahoo and the other is the god of Apple, which one is this?
"Apple is a great company that has made great achievements in how it connects to the Internet, and we want to use our achievements in the Internet to help them achieve an even greater ......leap forward between Apple and Yahoo." ’
Tim's statement is not tactful, but it can't change the fact that he wants to annex Apple, and it also triggers a sharp rebound in Apple's stock price and Yahoo's stock price.
Jobs' personality is too strong to be bought by Yahoo, and if he were to go against the board, will Apple split again? If it does, what will happen to Apple in the future?
A series of questions became meaningless after Jobs himself was terminally ill and Li Jiaming and Yang Zhiyuan appeared in public at the same time. The great Jobs was indeed great, not only ushering in the era of personal computers, but also saving the aging Apple, but so what? He is good at integrating technical resources and leading the new trend of electronic products; but Jerry's ally is China Ming, who is also good at integrating technology and intellectual resources, and has precise strategic vision and extremely rich imagination, and their cooperation is the real savior of Apple, which is about to lose its soul.
Li Jiaming, who has become a dragon and has not seen the end of the dragon, also rarely appeared on the TV screen, allowing CBS, ABC and other media to enter his classroom and listen to the lectures with the students. Still the same size, T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, Li Jiaming, who became the richest man in the world, is no different from before, sitting on the desk in the first row after the lecture and talking eloquently, but he allows students to ask questions but does not allow reporters to ask questions.
It's an age of individuality, and the richest man's hat is enough to get the attention you need at any time. In this case, there is no need to be too polite to the media, and sometimes putting on a show can win the respect of those journalists.
"Ok, the first question, why did I refuse to be interviewed by the media? The reason is simple, I need to think about the future and the strategic direction of GCA with a more calm and peaceful mind. If I'm a regular media interviewer, a regular speaker, I don't think I'm not inflated, I'm not going to be in the spotlight. ”
After explaining, Li Jiaming signaled that his students could go and collect money. Most of the doctoral students he brings and the doctoral students who come to the class need to work part-time, and since the reporters are not allowed to ask questions, they can serve for a fee.
Although this was a joke made by the students with Li Jiaming, he agreed to this joke proposal, which also made the reporters accept it with tears and laughter. Giving interviews in class in disguise and letting PhDs earn labor fees is news in itself, so why don't journalists who want to create news without news agree? The price is not very high, $200 a question, and asking ten questions is not enough for them to spend on a trip.
Of course, not everyone on the small note answers the questions, especially when it comes to some trade secrets. The questions Li Jiaming answers are all selective, arguable, or some mysterious questions.
"The second question, what do you think of the Ministry of Justice's investigation of GCA?
Although the headquarters of Hanhua is still in Beiping after its listing, the proportion of American equity has reached 52.87%, 2/3 of the board members are Americans, and the proportion of employees is as high as 61.89%. ”
"The third question, what do you think of Yahoo's takeover offer to Apple?"
This question is easy to answer, but it is also very difficult to answer, and the reporter who asked the question is also tricky enough, and he has figured out Li Jiaming's psychology and knows that he will not avoid any questions in class.
"Jerry had talked to me in advance about getting my financial backing. Yahoo's development has now reached a bottleneck, and it must expand into the physical realm, that is, to prepare for the era of the Internet of Things.
In fact, if the Yahoo acquisition is successful, it is not necessarily a good thing for GCA, and after the two complement each other's advantages, it is likely to pose a threat to GCA in many areas. Don't think that if GCA has a seat on the board of Yahoo, it can exert pressure and influence, we are all listed companies, even if our personal prestige is high, we must obey the will of capital.
However, after much consideration, I agreed, and personally gave Jerry enough financial support. The reason is very simple, I think that times have changed, and the competition between companies has become a competition; I admit that at the tactical level of specific operations, competition will still exist for a long time, but in the end it will be the choice of users that will determine the fate of the company, rather than management, marketing, and the encirclement and suppression of opponents. ”
The first reaction of the reporters, but China is very hypocritical, and he is cleverly avoiding the problem.
But these hypocritical words, Li Jiaming does not think, on the contrary, he also thinks that at the strategic level, it is more accurate to use the word competition without fighting. The reporters did think that Li Jiaming's remarks were hypocritical, but they did not have the right to ask questions directly, but the students who had the right to ask questions agreed. They haven't really entered the society and the workplace, so how have they seen those all-encompassing competitive methods?
In the eyes of these students who have learned a belly of theory, their professor Li Jiaming is right. In a society with a sound legal system, the prosperity and decline of a company depend on the factors of the company itself.
Li Jiaming doesn't care how these reporters report and process after they go back. In fact, at his level today, even if he is honest, he will be scrutinized under the microscope by the media and the public.
Times have changed, and this is the era of 'de-authority' in the Internet age. Traditional media still has the right to speak, but as an individual, people also have the right to speak, and the worst thing is that most people do not have or do not want to have the ability to think independently, and are choosing to believe what they want to believe or the truth, while those who want others to listen to him will spare no effort to say it.
Therefore, there will be no more secrets in this world, and even the most confidential things will be exposed by those who want others to listen to him. If there are too many insider revelations, there will be no fugitives when people are aware of them, and there will be no more people with high moral character. So, in this day and age, you don't have to argue, you don't have to force everyone to believe and agree with you, in fact, you can't do it. What you have to do is just stick to your heart and not be moved by external objects.
Therefore, you will only be able to defeat you, and you will never be your opponent. This sounds like chicken soup for the soul, but it is a real wise saying, if you think it is chicken soup for the soul, it is really chicken soup for the soul.
