Chapter 397: Be ruthless
It's around 8 o'clock in the morning, Apple hasn't officially started work yet, and it's just dawning. Zhang Yang was thinking about how to enter the company opposite, when he suddenly caught a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. Jobs! Seeing this figure, a name popped out of Zhang Yang's mind directly, the reason why Zhang Yang recognized Jobs was because after Jobs died a few years later, he was also very popular in China, and Zhang Yang naturally saw a lot of photos of Jobs.
However, Jobs now looks quite well, not as thin as a few years later, but I don't know if his illness is happening now. Counting the time, it shouldn't have been presented yet, right? "Let's go, I'll have some coffee." There were all kinds of thoughts in his head, but he said to Li Keqing in his mouth, and then took the lead and walked towards the café where Jobs was going.
Foreign and domestic are not compatible, even some very famous celebrities in foreign countries are rarely harassed when they eat out, and foreigners leave enough for others, although there may be some fans who come up to ask for autographs and the like, but they will never disturb people to eat.
Jobs is not a star, although he is the president of a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, but in a place like Silicon Valley, there are many CEOs like Jobs, and everyone is not surprised, not to mention, people like Jobs, except for Apple employees, there are not many people who know him.
Entering the café, Zhang Yang saw Jobs sitting in a position near the window eating breakfast there, it should have been at home in the morning, Jobs is a workaholic, it seems that this biography is not false, when eating breakfast, Jobs is still looking at a document in his hand.
asked Zhao Fei to ask for tools, Zhang Yang directly pulled Li Keqing to sit down in the seat next to Jobs, the seats in this coffee shop are all two-person tables or four-person tables, and Zhang Yang They are sitting at a four-person table. Xia Yueyue sat opposite Zhang Yang and them, while Yun Wei gestured to Zhang Yang and sat down at the table next to them.
There are also many Chinese in Silicon Valley, but Zhang Yang's presentation did not attract everyone's attention, and after sitting down, he looked at Xia Yue opposite, Zhang Yang suddenly smiled and said in English: "Senior Sister Xia, do you see the company opposite?" Xia Yueyue glanced at Zhang Yang a little strangely, I don't know why Zhang Yang uses English, but she didn't think too much, following Li Keqing for so long, Xia Yueyue's English is no problem for conversation.
Seeing Zhang Yang asking, Xia Yueyue replied without scheming: "See, Apple, a very famous computer company, is also very famous in China." And I kind of like the way apples look like they. ”
"Hehe, that's right, Apple has been growing over the years, in 2000, Apple's market value was just $6.1 billion, less than 10 billion, but now Apple's market value is about $40 billion, but if Apple's stubborn old man can't find a new path, I'm afraid it's not far from the waning mountains." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Zhang Yang is actually not alarmist, don't look at Apple's market value has been rising, but in fact, Apple's situation is definitely not optimistic. Before ine came out, Apple didn't have its own flagship product, or it didn't have its own partial focus, and the computer had Dell, IBM, HP and other companies specializing in notebooks.
The hardware has i, nvidia, i, and another md has popped up, and mobile phones have nokia, motorola, samsung and so on all over the world.
In terms of operating system...... Well, one Microsoft is enough. But what does Apple have? It seems that Apple is bigger than these companies, but Apple is like a stubborn old man, its appearance, its systems, etc. are notoriously stubborn, so before there was ine, its product sales were actually not high.
What's more, it's just stubborn, it's quite expensive, strictly speaking, in any aspect, Apple's competitiveness is actually not high. If there had been no INE in history, and the ID that Jobs tossed out before INE, I'm afraid Apple would have fallen.
"Huh? Why? It shouldn't go out of business, right? Xia Yueyue was really attracted by the flamboyant words, and immediately asked curiously.
"Huh." Zhang Yang looked at Xia Yueyue and chuckled, but the corner of Zhang Yang's eyes caught that Jobs had obviously been attracted by his words, whether Jobs was angry or emotional, but Zhang Yang's words were not wrong.
I don't know what Jobs came up about, but if he doesn't have this idea now, then the current situation of Apple, as the executive president, Jobs knows better than anyone. "Isn't it? It is quite a matter of growing faster and faster in the computer industry, especially the faster and faster update of various computer hardware, and Apple has only two options if it wants not to die. Ay...... Forget it, this has nothing to do with us, what are we doing here, eat, eat. It just so happened that Zhao Fei and a waiter brought it over early, and Zhang Yang stopped talking.
"This gentleman, good." Zhao Feigang put the tray in his hand on Zhang Yang's table, and Jobs, who was sitting not far from Zhang Yang's them, turned his head and looked at Zhang Yang seriously and said hello.
"Okay." Zhang Yang immediately laughed, someone once said that Jobs was a stubborn person, especially for Apple, he had a deep affection for Apple, so it was almost difficult for Jobs to accept that someone was not good at Apple. Of course, it doesn't mean that Jobs can't listen to other people's opinions, it's just that as long as he hears that someone is not good at Apple, he has to let the other party come up with a reason why Apple is not good.
"Steve Jobs. Steve. Jobs got up from his position, took two steps, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yang. Okay, my name is Zhang Yang, Mr. Jobs. I know you're the president of Apple. Zhang Yang greeted Jobs with a smile.
"Bang" Xia Yueyue almost knocked over the plate in front of her, she looked at Zhang Yang's eyes and was immediately a little speechless, like looking at a beast, why did this guy suddenly pick up Apple in English, the feeling is that he knows that the CEO of Apple is sitting next to him, but he is talking about Apple here, isn't it?
Zhang Yang's directness made Jobs stunned slightly, obviously he was a little surprised, but Zhang Yang was like this, and Jobs also knew that Zhang Yang must have something to do with him, and what he said just now was undoubtedly to attract his attention. The person who can lead a company to the world's first, although Jobs's personality is a little arrogant, it doesn't mean that he will be arrogant to everyone.
Although Jobs was reluctant to approve, the words he had just made public directly hit Apple's current status quo and hit Apple's vital point. After hesitating for a moment, although he didn't know what Zhang Yang was selling, Jobs still nodded and said: "If you don't mind, I don't know if Mr. Zhang can continue to talk about the topic just now, and I don't know what Mr. Zhang has about Apple." ”
"If I came to Mr. Jobs to sell a tool to Mr. Jobs, and it was worth up to half of Apple's computer, would Mr. Jobs blow it up?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Poof...... Xia Yue, who had just taken a sip of coffee, directly sprayed the coffee in his mouth on the whole table. rry,rry。 Xia Yueyue immediately blushed a little, quickly stood up and spoke to Jobs. Jobs smiled and said, "It's okay. Although the smile on his face was still the same, Zhang Yang could see that his face was already a little stiff.
Zhang Yang is also careless, the correction has already come today, since he has decided to attack Apple, it is like what Zhang Yang did before, he doesn't mind making the gap on the Apple a little bigger. Since you have started, you must be ruthless, otherwise, it is better not to move, you can't cooperate with Apple, there are other companies in the world that can cooperate, and now all the patents are in the hands of Zhang Yang, isn't it?
"If that's the case, then it looks like I should be happy, if Mr. Zhang's tool is really worth half of the apple, then Mr. Zhang means that after Apple has this tool, the value of that half of the apple will be more than double the value of the whole apple, is that what it means?" Jobs asked with a smile.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but show a hint of admiration, sure enough, the person who can bring a company to the first place in the world is definitely not brain-dead, even if he is arrogant, but others also have that capital, but in fact, it does not mean that an arrogant person is a person whose eyes are above the top, these are two concepts.
Jobs directly grasped the meaning of Zhang Yang's words. "That's right. I wonder if Mr. Jobs can lead us on a tour of Apple? Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
"Naturally, there is no problem in visiting Apple, I wonder if I can take a look at Mr. Zhang's tools worth half an apple first?" Jobs asked stubbornly.
Zhang Yang smiled, didn't care, and directly picked up Li Keqing's bag next to him, and took out the rather poorly made mobile phone from it. Seeing Zhang Yang's mobile phone taken out, Xia Yueyue almost couldn't help but fall directly from the chair, and she looked at Zhang Yang's eyes now like she was looking at a madman.
Just such a broken mobile phone, ready to sell for tens of billions of dollars? Depend on! If it weren't for outsiders, I'm afraid Xia Yiyue would directly give Zhang Yang a middle finger. When he saw the tools Zhang Yang took out, Jobs's face was also stiff, but soon, his eyes lit up.
