Chapter 844 Scene 844 This is called a threat
"Okay, everyone has worked hard during this time, what projects can be proposed, according to the system, we can approve two new project development plans this quarter." Jerry York looked in Cook's direction as he spoke, "You can be bold and let Miss Kelly Yaan hear and let them decide." ”
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Cook, who sells by figure, handed over a document and said loudly: "Next quarter, our company's focus should be on MacBook-Pro laptops with 17-inch screens, as well as the new iPad series, and make these two products our development focus." ”
As soon as Cook said this, in addition to Jobs, Li Xiaole, Jonathan, and everyone in the design department changed their faces, MacBook-Pro laptops are forgotten, and the ipad series is a key project developed and designed by Jobs and Li Xiaole.
"It's not fair! The iPad is the project of our Pirate Design and Development Department, not Cook yours. Jonathan stood up angrily and shouted loudly, this time Cook is really too deceitful!! The designer will never allow others to steal his work!
"Please sit down! Mr. Jonathan. Jerry York looked at him coldly and said, "What do you mean by the projects of your design and development department, all the projects belong to the company, not your pirate design department." ”
As soon as he said this, many people on the board of directors nodded one after another, Jonathan is just a simple designer, where does he understand the internal struggle of the company, Li Xiaole didn't pull him when he wanted to, only to see the simple-headed chief designer rush forward, arguing with a face full of course: "All the hardware and software of the iPad were designed by Steve and Li 2 years ago, how can you just snatch them away!?" It's not fair!? ”
"Yes, they designed it." Jerry York's voice also raised a lot, swept the direction of Li Xiaole and Jobs with a calm face, and sneered in a strange tone: "But one of them is busy filming TV and movies, and they don't go back to the company for a few months, and the other is either in the hospital for treatment, or is on vacation with his family, and he doesn't even work for 100 days a year, you say that this project belongs to them, is it unfair to us colleagues who work hard 10 hours a day?" ”
With Jerry York's confident voice, all the heads of Apple departments present nodded one after another, which can be regarded as speaking to their hearts, compared to Jobs and Li Xiaole, they are the people who really contribute more to the company's struggle......
Since Jobs and Li Xiaole mixed together and watched what "Life Remote Control", his personality has changed greatly, although it is not as harsh as before, but at the same time, he is not so enthusiastic about his work, he spends most of his time with his family and goes to the hospital for treatment every year, although this is understandable, but he is currently the CEO of Apple, which makes everyone have some thoughts in their hearts.
"And." Jerry York continued to stare at Li Xiaole unrelentingly: "Our director Li transferred more than 100 employees from the technical department for several months in order to produce their Olympic opening ceremony, and took away our best R&D products, just for his personal directing career, such behavior is essentially beyond his responsibilities as a design director, and Steve, as the leader of the company, not only did not stop him in time, but also connived at his behavior many times, I propose that Steve Jobs be removed from the position of CEO, Changed to Tim Cook. ”
The scene was in an uproar, Jonathan didn't expect his impulse to become the fuse for the opponent to attack Jobs and Li Xiaole, he blushed and pointed at Jerry York and said: "You bastard, how can you ......" said and rushed up angrily, wanting to find Jerry York's theory, but he didn't expect Jerry York's eyes, and the sturdy security director next to him, the Russian Sodlov, couldn't help but say, as soon as he rushed up, he pressed Jonathan to the ground and twisted his arm from behind, Jonathan snorted with pain on his face.
Jobs was stunned, he didn't expect things to develop like this, it seems that Jerry York really wanted to oust him from power this time, just when the Apple leader, who is known for his hot temper, was about to have a seizure, he saw a figure rushing up, raised a kick, and kicked Sodelov, the head of the security department like a Russian white bear, 2 meters away, and hit the table leg "Boom!" With a muffled sound, everyone was stunned, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw that the person who rushed out was Li Xiaole.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Li Xiaole pulled up Jonathan, looked at Jerry York's fat face coldly, and said: "Is it necessary to treat the company's chief designer like this, if he hurts a finger, your financial statements for the next quarter will drop by a few percentage points." Then he looked back at Sodlov, who was getting up with anger on his face, and said coldly: "What kind of security supervisor would be rude to a chief designer who is helpless." ”
"I'm here to protect Director York, you Chinese bastard!" Sodelov touched the blood stains on his abrased face, scolded angrily, and seemed to want to rush over, but at this time, he saw Cheng Long swaying over, blocking in front of him and saying expressionlessly: "What did you just say about China?" Sodelov was obviously stunned when he saw kung fu superstar Cheng Long, and he was too frightened to make a sound.
"Someone, give our chief designer a wound." Li Xiaole beckoned, and a staff member came up to help Jonathan down, and Li Xiaole turned his head to look at Jerry York and said coldly:
"Aren't you grateful for everything Steve saved your bankrupt company?"
"I follow the company's system." Jerry York said loudly without flinching.
"What system? What did he do wrong? Li Xiaole looked at her like a stupid pig: "Do you need me to remind you of this idiot?" It was him, the patient CEO, and me, the idle director, who designed the Ipod and the Iphone, which made your company grow to the current scale. ”
It's not the first time that the directors of this company have wanted to set up Jobs, these stupid pigs who want to share vested interests, don't do their business all day long, and it seems that the so-called "Jobs voluntarily resigned due to illness and proposed Cook to take over" in history was also forced by the board of directors.
"I'm here for the overall good of the company!" Jerry York rightfully held his chest out.
"John Sculley also used this reason to kick Steve out of the company in 1985, has anyone told you what happened to him?" Li Xiaole sneered.
Sodelov, the head of security, couldn't hold back any longer, and stepped forward to warn Li Xiaole: "No one can threaten board members on the board. "A menacing look of wanting to beat people.
"Director Sodelov, I'm not threatening Director Jerry, I'm just telling him the truth." Li Xiaole said calmly and said to Cheng Long next to him: "Big brother, if this Russian guy interrupts me next time, you will break his leg." ”
Sodelov instinctively glanced at the smiling Cheng Long, and took a step back with a pale face, after all, the Chinese kung fu superstar in the movie gave people too many impressions......
"That's the threat, you know?" Li Xiaole looked at Sodelov with a face like paper with cold eyes, and the people at the scene opened their mouths slightly, but they didn't expect that this design director with few roads turned out to be such an iron-fisted person, which was even stronger than scolding employee Jobs in person.
"Okay, don't be nervous, let's all sit down." Kelly Ya'an, the chairman of the board of directors, who had been watching all this silently, suddenly stood up and walked over gently, patted Jerry York on the shoulder and asked him to sit down, and as this gentle and elegant lady came forward, the tense atmosphere of the scene immediately eased.
The blonde-haired Kelly Ya'an, who seemed to have the temperament of a medieval European aristocrat in her gestures, came over and smiled and took Li Xiaole's hand, took him back to his seat and asked with a smile:
"Director Li, although your and Steve's design has made a huge contribution to our company, I am sure you will see the efforts of our colleagues in other departments, after all, design and creativity are only one part of the product, and on this basis, all the other of us have made great contributions to improve a product, whether it is an ipod or an iPhone, do you think I am right?"
"Yes, Ms. Ya'an." Li Xiaole also returned to his usual modest demeanor and nodded with a smile.
"So, I don't think it's too much of a request for Mr. Cook's department to focus on the MacBook-Pro laptop and ipad series in the next quarter, do you agree with me?" Kelly Ya'an smiled and pressed his shoulder.
"Totally agree, ma'am." Li Xiaole looked at the leading figure of the board of directors, and also understood in his heart that the other party wanted to calm things down.
"And I heard that Director Li is also launching a new product project recently, if you don't mind, can you share it with us first?" Although Kelly Ya'an seemed to be saying this to Li Xiaole, she looked at the other people present, and everyone was in an uproar, all of them looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all asking, "What new product has Li Xiaole developed?" ”
Jerry York was obviously stunned, what's going on? Didn't he already convince the board to take away Jobs and Li Xiaole's ace series of Ipads? How can they still have any new products in development? Could it be that Li Xiaole's sudden appearance this time is not only to help Jobs stabilize his position, but to develop a new product?
The most surprised person at the scene was actually Li Xiaole himself, knowing that the development of Ibox had only been carried out within Apple for 1 week, and it was strictly kept secret within Jonathan's team, it was really amazing that Kelly Ya'an, the chairman of the board of directors, could know their movements...... It seems that Lei Ting is right, a woman who can be in a high position is not a simple role......
Li Xiaole also took a deep breath, knowing that it was time to watch his performance, he stood up and announced with a smile: "Well, okay, in that case, now I will introduce you to the line of products that I and Steve are planning to launch next quarter, his name is Ibox." ”
