As the absolute protagonist of the banquet, even if Tang Huan is familiar with it and exquisite, he also feels tired. So when he walked to Apple's side, he loosened his tie and sat down.

"John, how do you know about the PC industry now?" Tang Huan's tone was relaxed and John. Scully said hello.

"The PC industry is truly full of prospects and opportunities." John. Scully nodded gracefully.

With more than 10 years of successful experience as vice president and president of PepsiCo, John Brown has a successful track record of PepsiCo. Scully is the darling of the workplace. But the current Apple company also has enough capital to attract this person, and in the past 1982, its revenue was close to $500 million. If it weren't for the glow of Fangyuan Computer Company, Apple would also belong to the absolute media focus with the aura of entrepreneurial success.

Tang Huan can see that at present, John. Scully is still in a state of vacillation about whether or not to become Apple's CEO, or more appropriately described as holding a shelf - "It's hard for you to hire me, but it's not impossible."

It can be said that Apple is far away from getting John. Scully, a professional executive with a good reputation on Wall Street, is just one step away.

Tang Huan turned his gaze to Jobs and Makura, and raised his eyebrows, "You don't seem to be in a high mood?" ”

"Nothing." Jobs denied it and stood up to John. Scully said, "John, let's go out for a walk. ”

……

Nob Hill, where the InterContinental Mark Hopkins is located, is one of San Francisco's 44 hills and seven of the original developmental hills, and is surrounded by shopping districts such as Union Square and Market Street to the south.

A condescending glance. The bustling city of San Francisco is in full view. But John. Scully didn't let go of his mind completely. Instead, he was a little nervous because he was a bit afraid of heights.

"I really think you're a good fit," Jobs said in a sincere tone, "and I hope you can come and work with me, and I can learn a lot from you." ”

John. Scully didn't answer right away, he was still a little reluctant to make a name for himself at Pepsi, but the bright industry prospects shown by the great success of Fangyuan Computer Company in front of him made his heart pound.

Through this intensive contact for most of the past six months, John. Not only did Scully and Steve Jobs develop a similarly close personal relationship. I also have a fairly comprehensive understanding of Apple. This successful up-and-coming Silicon Valley company is in dire need of marketing experts like itself. Even, Apple is a little impatient for its own pursuit.

"Perhaps, we should only be friends, and it is appropriate for me to give you advice from an outsider's point of view." John. Scully said tentatively.

Jobs lowered his head and looked at his feet. was silent enough to make John. Scully had an uncomfortable heaviness.

He was just about to open his mouth to relieve this embarrassing atmosphere, but he saw Jobs raise his head suddenly, staring at him with burning eyes, and asked a sonorous rhetorical question in a sonorous tone. "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to seize the opportunity to change the world?"

Hear this. John. Scully seemed to feel that he had been punched in the stomach and was speechless for a long time, while Jobs stared at him so bluntly.

Eventually, John. Scully nodded and replied earnestly, "Okay, I'm willing to accept the position of CEO of Apple, but I need a $1 million salary, a $1 million signing bonus, and a $1 million severance if this change doesn't work out." ”

Jobs, whose smile quickly bloomed on his face, patted his chest and agreed without hesitation, "Even if I pay out of my own pocket, we all have to solve these problems, because you are the best person I have ever met." I know that you are perfect for Apple, and Apple deserves the best. ”

Speaking of which, Jobs looked at John intently again. Scully, with great sincerity, added, "You've been able to teach me the most, and I've never worked for someone I really admire, and I'm really looking forward to the good times ahead." ”

The breeze blew, and Jobs's long thick hair fluttered gently, exuding a personal charm like a star.

John who has been completely convinced. Scully thought to himself, "Maybe I could really have a perfect career experience at Apple." ”

……

Tang Huan listened to the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra's live performance while his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

"It looks like there's something unpleasant between you and Steve." Tang Huan asked casually.

"You've been busy with Fangyuan Computer's listing recently, so you shouldn't have noticed the mess that Steve did." Macoola sighed softly.

"Some time ago, Apple held a promotion event for the Lisa computer in New York, but Steve actually vowed to reporters that the MAC computer, which has the same graphical user interface but is only a quarter of the price of the Lisa computer, will come out within a year. Isn't this digging your own corner? Now the market response of Lisa computers is very cold, and the sales volume in the past few months is only a few hundred, and it is estimated that many of them have been disassembled and studied by peers. ”

Speaking of this, Macoola slapped the table in anger, causing the red wine in the glass to ripple, "I know that MAC and Lisa have a lot of grievances, but Steve is also too ruthless to his own people, and he simply doesn't see the big picture. It's terrible to see that the Lisa computer, like the Apple III, is facing failure. ”

"It's better to want to open some of this thing. After all, in terms of technology alone, the problems of the Lisa computer itself are still very obvious, and the speed of operation is unacceptably slow, and Zheru has complained more than once about the engineers who ported office software for him. ”

Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows and explained: "As long as AppleIIGS is launched as scheduled this year, the market share will not be lost, and Wall Street will be easy to deal with." As a matter of urgency, Apple needs a CEO who can take care of the day-to-day grinding. ”

"I hope so." Makula nodded, "According to Steve, John. Scully should be quick to accede to Apple's offer. ”

"I believe it." Tang Huan laughed, "It is estimated that the two of them are discussing this matter outside." ”

Makula raised his wine glass and gestured, and then sighed: "Don, how did you sort out so many companies under your command so well that I was envious. ”

"You really can't learn." Tang Huan put down his wine glass and replied leisurely: "You are a little lazy, and you are too soft-hearted to be able to do both grace and power. ”

Macura shook her head self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I am only fit to be a rich man." (To be continued......)
