Chapter 846: Scene 846 The biggest winner
"I think it's pretty good......" Jerry Yorke's face was no longer as complacent as before, but instead a gritted anger and reluctance...... He lowered his voice and said:
"I admit that this is a somewhat distinctive product, but I think this Ibox smart TV is not mature enough compared to the Ipad, although these games are interesting, but they are not aimed at people of all ages, everyone can see the elderly and children playing this kind of game, it may be tired in a few minutes, and it can't last at all~ And whether it's tennis, table tennis, or fighting, it seems too complicated, too professional, not everyone will get started at once~These games can't have enough energy to be the driving force behind Ibox's launch~~ I feel like Ibox can be postponed until the next quarter......"
The emergence of Ibox this time is destined to not allow Cook to replace Jobs in the position, but Jerry York still hopes that Cook's Ipad can take the initiative in the current situation.
Although it seems a bit strong, but the board members also frowned and thought about it after listening to it, carefully imagine that Jerry York's words do have some truth, although these games are very interesting, but they are not so close to the people, unlike "Plants vs. Zombies" that can be played all day long, the camera captures the movements of the whole body, which is a huge test of the player's physical strength.
"Who's to say we didn't design mini-games that were accessible to the people? Mr. Jerry, why don't you try it for yourself? Li Xiaole smiled, clicked into the interface of "Condor Fighting", entered the "Fruit Hero" in the training mode, and then asked Jerry York, who weighed more than 200 pounds, to come over by himself and let him try it himself.
"I won't...... I don't have many motor cells. Jerry York shook his head again and again, looking very embarrassed, but he thought in his heart that in order to prove that Li Xiaole's game was not so easy, he could only bite the bullet.
"It's very simple, if you see the fruit flying out, just cut it off with a hand knife, you don't need to move your body, you just need to move your arms, fools will." Li Xiaole smiled and pushed him to the correct position of the camera, and then waved his hand into the interface of "Fruit Hero".
Jerry York watched an apple suddenly fly up from the bottom edge of the screen, instinctively swiped his hand in the air, and saw the apple "poof", and the juice was cut in half in the sputtering, Jerry York was stunned, he didn't expect the operation to be so sensitive, but he gritted his teeth and turned his head to the people on the board of directors and pouted, which means what is there to play in this game...... It's boring.
"Simple, right?" Li Xiaole smiled: "Attention~~ It's difficult later~~"
As time went by, more and more fruits jumped out, and Jerry York also began to scramble, he was the first to prove that this game was boring, but he didn't expect to concentrate while playing, and began to chop fruits seriously~ Both hands were scratching quickly with empty hands, constantly chopping all kinds of fruits, looking very happy, until a bomb appeared, and he hit the bomb "Peng!" "A game-over.
Now there was an immediate burst of laughter, and many members of the board covered their mouths and laughed.
"Mr. Jerry, do you still find it difficult now? Do you think this game will be more acceptable to everyone? Li Xiaole asked with a smile, Jerry Yorke was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, he could feel that this little game of "Fruit Man" was very interesting and fascinating.
Li Xiaole smiled in his heart, just kidding, this is the empty-handed version of "Fruit Endure" that hundreds of millions of people around the world will love in the future, it's strange if you don't have a fat man~~
"Alright." Kelly Yaan stood up, turned to the forty-eight representatives of the board of directors and said, "I believe you are now aware of the current situation, this game can be played very well even by people with limited mobility like Mr. Jerry, I think this is a game for all ages, and it can be used as a driving force for Ibox, so let's raise our hands now to vote on the spot, and now agree that this project will be the main launch project in the next quarter, please raise your hands." ”
After Kelly Ya'an finished speaking, she took the lead in raising her hand, and 32 of the other forty-eight delegates at the scene raised their hands, and in the silence of the scene, Kelly Ya'an turned her head to the lawyer next to her and asked: "Lawyer Mel, please record the result of this vote." Then he turned his head and announced to everyone: "We officially announce that the board of directors has decided to focus on promoting the product Ibox in the next quarter, and all aspects of this project are in charge of Director Li Xiaole~~"
Jobs, Jonathan, Cheng Long, and Zeng Zhiwei all excitedly raised their hands and roared at each other to express their excitement when they heard this! Yes~! And they succeeded! I never expected it! Ibox beat the Ipad so smoothly and passed the audit!!
But they didn't wait for too long to be happy, and Kelly Ya'an's next words made them stunned, and the chairman of the board of directors, who was like a European aristocrat, announced with a smile: "At the same time, I personally feel that this Ibox smart TV project has a huge investment and is extremely risky, I think Director Li Xiaole needs to join the company full-time to be in charge of this project with peace of mind, and he can sign a long-term contract with the company after completing this series." ”
As soon as he said this, the members of the board of directors all nodded and discussed with each other, obviously this proposal went to their hearts, although Li Xiaole is talented, but after all, he is restless, is he going all out for Apple? Or is it just to promote his episodes? This is the only place where everyone is not at ease, even Jobs and Jonathan turned their heads in anticipation, looking forward to Li Xiaole really joining Apple to fight side by side with him.
Li Xiaole was stunned, he didn't expect Kelly Ya'an to make this request on behalf of the board of directors, of course he could not serve in Apple for a long time...... Hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this request, I have my own film plan, and I don't want to work in the company for a long time." "He only needs Apple's resources, but he doesn't have much ambition for the tech industry, which is not his goal.
"So how do our board get such a big project into your hands!? You are in charge of the project but you are not willing to take risks, how can it be justified! Jerry Yorke, who was still depressed just now, was energetic at this moment, and suddenly shouted, and the people in the conference room were also full of discussions, and everyone felt that Li Xiaole's attitude of swaying at both ends was a problem......
"In this way, our board of directors can give Director Li a conditional agreement." Kelly Ya'an interrupted Jerry York without waiting for him to finish, and smiled and proposed:
"You also know that this project requires a huge investment from the company, and the risk is too huge, so we hope that you can take some responsibility, if this project is profitable, then Director Li you want to maintain your current work style in the future, we will never have any opinions, but once this project has a loss, then I hope Director Li can reflect on your own attitude, concentrate on working for the company, and sign an exclusive work contract with the company, we hope that you can take on more and heavier responsibilities for the company like Steve in the future, You know Steve's health hasn't been very good...... We need someone as capable as you to preside over the big picture. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, and Jerry York and Cook opened their mouths even more, they finally understood what the board meant, and what the directors meant...... If you want to train Li Xiaole to be the successor of Steve Jobs!? Want him to be Apple's next CEO!?
What's going on!? If the Chinese kid succeeds in the Ibox project, he will continue his glorious career as a director, and if he fails this time, he will parachute into Apple to become the helm of the world's second-largest technology company...... Oh my God, is this still a punishment for failure!?
Cheng Long and Zeng Zhiwei were stupid...... They all thought that Apple didn't like Li Xiaole very much, but now what's going on, why are they forcing Li Xiaole to take the lead all of a sudden......!?
Li Xiaole took a deep breath, smiled confidently and looked at the people on the board of directors and nodded, "Okay, I agree to this condition!?" ”
Wow~!! There was an uproar at the scene, everyone was talking to the people next to them, and before the angry Jerry York could say anything, Kelly Ya'an announced the official end of the meeting, and everyone broke up in a lot of discussion.
Jerry York's fat face was trembling at the moment, he didn't know what to say, and Cook next to him also asked him with a wry smile: "What should I do, Jerry......"
"What else can I do!!" Jerry York turned to his partner and yelled, saliva spraying all over his face: "We're going to support this little bastard with all our might!" Be sure to make Ibox a success! Otherwise you want to be waved around by this little bastard for the rest of your life!? ”
At this time, few people noticed that Steve Jobs, who had been very weak and had not spoken, was smiling and hugging Kelly Yaan, the chairman of the board of directors, in the crowd at the moment.
"Steve, this time I did everything you asked, don't hold a grudge against the 1985 incident, I'll give you all the favors." Kelly Ya'an smiled gracefully and calmly.
"Ya'an, thank you, I really don't know what to do without you." Jobs had an indifferent smile on his face, and at this time, Li Xiaole also walked over and shook hands with the two with a complicated face, and he also seemed to understand that this time he seemed to have been calculated, and he was pitted by this sick old friend Jobs.
"Steve...... Did you arrange all this? Li Xiaole smiled bitterly, on the surface, the biggest winner of this project is him, but in fact, it was Steve Jobs who really won the big victory, he did almost nothing, kept his position as CEO, and also threw the pressure on himself......
