Chapter 485: The Purpose

Li Xu regretted it a little, once Jobs started to go crazy, he didn't care. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In this life, he has seen this guy spray people, the poison of his mouth, and the guy with a slightly worse quality in his heart, it is possible to be sprayed and cry directly.

Hartsfield is also a veteran of Apple, and he has been sprayed by him several times, so Joanna dares to directly confront Jobs and win his respect.

So, at this time, when he was kicked out of the company he founded and wanted to seek comfort, he objected to his imaginary lifesaver, and the result can be imagined.

To be honest, if he didn't think it was a good opportunity, Li Xu wouldn't want to touch his mold.

It's not good, it's okay, Li Xu finally has such a lost weight in front of him, there is no conflict of interest, and he has always been generous, not to mention Apple, which funded it in the early days, and rarely interfered in specific affairs, and he also knows a lot about computer technology, most of the things are on his side, and he is a well-known member of the Jobs Gang on the board of directors.

Of course, he never knew what he had personally contacted with the other directors on the board.

In this way, plus Joanna, they must have told him a lot before, and when Li Xu said that he was not optimistic about this plan, although Jobs sank his face, he did not lose his temper.

"I'm not going to throw in the towel." He said sullenly.

"Of course, if you throw in the towel, it's not Steve? Jobs. Li Xu shrugged his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief by the way, "But, Steve, this may be a good thing for you." ”

"Is it good to be kicked out of your own company by a bunch of bastards?" Jobs's tone was a little unkind.

"Listen, man, I know it's uncomfortable, but the truth is, you were too good before." Li Xu patted him on the shoulder, "Life must have setbacks to be complete, because setbacks make us awe-inspiring, let us understand where the limit of our ability is, and how to break through this limit." ”

Jobs narrowed his eyes and tilted his head to look at Li Xu, his expression seemed to say: What the hell are you kidding me?

Li Xu's face did not change, and he pointed to Joanna and the others next to him: "If you leave Apple completely, they will all follow you, why?" Quite simply, they identify with you, and you're right, Steve, you're right. ”

Jobs looked over, and several people avoided his gaze, except Joanna shrugged.

Well, it's not that they don't agree, it's that everyone is afraid of him.

"I'll say it again, Steve, people can't always have smooth sailing, and even I have times when I'm too anxious to invest and I'm turned away." Li Xu continued, "So I said, your setback is a good thing, no matter how bad it is, you can know which people are really loyal to you." ”

Jobs' eyes lit up, he muttered for a moment, and then looked at Joanna and them: "Hmm...... Thank you. ”

It's just a simple word, but he said it so awkwardly, this guy is really ......

"What's next?" Li Xu immediately changed the topic and asked.

"I'll sell all the Apple stocks in my hand." Steve Jobs said.

What? Li Xu was shocked all of a sudden, you no longer try to take back the power of the company? Didn't you try until September, when you couldn't do it?

"Of course, I will leave at least 1% of the equity in order to get Apple's statement." Jobs added, "I will leave Apple and start a new computer company, I will continue to work hard to practice my beliefs, and one day, I will return to Apple again as a winner!" ”

The last sentence was said through gritted teeth, which showed how much he hated Scully's betrayal.

"Very well, Steve," Li Xu nodded, echoing his words, "but I don't recommend that you do it now, you should take a good rest for a while, spend at least a year, walk around, see everywhere." ”

Seeing that Jobs was still going to speak, he hurriedly raised a hand: "Listen, Steve, I know your feelings, the more this is the case, the more you should not act impulsively, you need to think about it, sort out the gains and losses of the past few years, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your team, right?" ”

Jobs glanced at the others and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you yet." Li Xu patted him on the shoulder at this time, "You know, my investment is responsible for my family, and I can't just sell it like you." ”

"I know, Eddie, I know, it's good that you have your back." Jobs was quite moved.

"Wait for you to set up a new company and let me know when you need it." Li Xu said again.

"Thank you." Jobs raised the cup in his hand.

"I like you, Steve, and I agree with your philosophy too, and you're going to prove yourself." Li Xu opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Then, after taking a sip, he began to carefully reveal his true purpose: "However, if you want to give those guys a little provocation right now, I have an idea. ”

"What's the idea?" Jobs was immediately interested, and for now, he was willing to try anything that would stimulate Apple's board.

"I'm working on a movie, you know, I like to play movies," Li Xu said in a good time, "It's a story about the future, a story that happened in 2015." One of the details is that the TV is showing the meeting of two giants in the IT industry, namely Bill Brown, the president of Microsoft? Gates, and Apple's President Steve? Jobs. ”

"Wait, why Bill? Gates? Jobs asked suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was not very satisfied.

"It's very simple, in the IT industry, I also have a relationship with you." Li Xu stretched out his hand, "Moreover, I see that your relationship is not bad." ”

"I don't have any friendship with that thief." Jobs said this quite tsundere.

"Really?" Li Xu raised an eyebrow, "I think it's more like this: we also have a rich neighbor named Xerox, I broke into the door and tried to steal his TV, only to find out that you had stolen it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Joanna and the others next to him changed their faces, which was a bit of a slap in the face.

However, unexpectedly, Jobs did not mean to change his face, but only showed a dissatisfied look: "You think so too? ”

"I just think that if there is someone in this world who can challenge you, it must be Bill." Li Xu said this, and then quickly raised his hand: "Okay, I invested in the company of the two of you, I think it will be interesting for you to be on camera together." ”

After a pause, he suddenly laughed again: "I look at your photo of this year's harmony, to be honest, it's quite similar." ”

At the IT Practitioners Conference in New York at the beginning of this year, the two of them sat together, not to mention being photographed, and they were also featured in IT-related magazines, which was the first time they appeared in front of the public together and left images.

"Okay, I can try." Jobs touched his chin, "But I don't know how to act." ”

"It doesn't matter, there won't be too many details in the movie, just a rehearsal for the conference in 20 years." Li Xu waved his hand and said, "You can say whatever you want, even if you continue to attack him is shit." ”

Someone immediately laughed, and Jobs involuntarily rubbed his forehead.

This is quite interesting to say, Bill Gate is actually very humorous, and the sentence Li Xu said above is actually the Gate refuting Jobs's words at the beginning, and it is very subtle.

The first company in the world to use a graphical user interface on a computer was the Xerox Group of the United States, a technology company that started with photocopiers and printers.

Jobs only had Apple's graphical interface after visiting the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, which is why in another time and space, many people disagreed with him and thought that he was also plagiarism.

Seriously, it's hard to tell plagiarism based on the graphical interface alone, and it depends on the code, but Jobs is really not very authentic. He first commissioned Gates to write a graphical interface program, and later saw that Microsoft was also developing a graphical interface, so he agreed with Gates that Microsoft would not be able to develop a graphical interface for another company only a year after the Macintosh computer went public.

Unexpectedly, however, the Macintosh computer, which was originally scheduled to be launched on January 1, 1983, would be delayed by a year, and Gates did not default when he announced in November that he would write a graphical interface for IBM's personal computer.

But Jobs was furious, lashed out at Microsoft, and called Gates to Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, and Gates came honestly.

"I trust you, and now you're plundering us!" Jobs was so yelling at the time.

"I think it's more like this: We also have a rich neighbor named Xerox, and I broke down the door and tried to steal his TV, only to find out that you had stolen it." Gates replied very calmly.

This sentence later became a famous saying, and it became an excuse for many people to attack Jobs.

Coincidentally, Jobs not only sprayed Microsoft as useless, but also directly ridiculed after watching the Windows demo: "This is just a piece of shit." ”

So Gates weakly answered next to him: "That's a good piece of shit, too." ”

I have to say that Gates, who was born into a famous family, does have much higher EQ than Jobs.

"Alright, Add, I promised you one thing, should you promise me one thing?" Jobs said again at this time.

"You say." Li Xu, who was in a good mood, nodded immediately.

The reason why he came here was to persuade Jobs to leave the country, and since he had achieved his goal, as long as Jobs did not ask him to support him to get back the Apple now, he could agree.

"So, are you familiar with Mr. Akio Morita?" Jobs immediately asked again.

Li Xu paused, reacted immediately, and couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

Speaking of which, why does this guy have such a high regard for Akio Morita? I've knocked on him before, and now I'm even more so requested, and the other plane has also asked for advice after leaving Apple, I really don't know what to say, how did you, an African-American, end up being a Buddhist?

Of course, he complained in his heart, but Li Xu nodded on the surface: "Of course, do you have something?" ”

"When the matter here is understood, can you arrange for me to meet with him?" Jobs asked excitedly.
