291 Two madmen

(Thanks to my friend Yu Xuefei for her encouragement)

Liu Anran did not go directly to Fox and Sony to talk, but first came to Apple's headquarters to find Jobs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The current Jobs is slightly better than before, but at most he is mental, his body is still so thin, and his mental state is not bad.

"Haven't had surgery yet?" Liu Anran frowned and asked.

"No, the body hasn't recovered yet. And which iPod we have developed together has already started to be put into production, and I will hold a new product launch conference at the end of the year, and I am not worried about not taking care of these things. Jobs said with a smile.

"I'm here to buy my Pixar animation studio, and now that you have the money, tell me directly, how much money are you willing to spend to buy it."

"Don't worry about this, I always feel that you are a little different from before, and it seems that your temper has changed a little." Liu Anran shook his head and asked.

Although he did come from Pixar Animation Studios, he didn't expect Jobs to be so direct. This guy's eyelashes are empty, and he plans to have a good relationship with him first, and then talk about it.

"Actually, I'm still me, but you're not my subordinate, but my partner. When I'm anxious with them, I'll be anxious, otherwise their work will drag on and they won't have good ideas. Jobs shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Also, I want to ask you, why are you so optimistic about our Apple company? You still have a stake in your investment company, and you already have almost 7% of the shares, right? ”

"Pretty much, in fact, the reason why I invested in Apple is really very optimistic about his development prospects." Liu Anran said with a smile, he didn't deny it.

"Like I told you before, Apple is a good company, but now the main products are focused on computers, which is too narrow."

"The world of the future is a world of entertainment, and entertainment is everywhere. Do you make people run around with a computer on their backs? With the development of technology, it is easier for people to communicate with each other. Maybe a mobile phone can do your daily needs, so you device manufacturers should also change your thinking. ”

"Andy, I'd love to see you come to Apple, you know, what you just said is similar to what Johnson and I thought." Jobs said with a smile.

"In the future, computers will be the central part of all people's digital lives. Especially with this iPod, we have put back our plans that we had put on hold a little bit earlier. Let's go, I'll take you to a fun place. ”

After Jobs finished speaking, he stood up, regardless of Liu Anran's reaction, and walked directly outside.

Liu Anran shook his head helplessly, this guy is still doing his own thing. Now I want to talk to him about Pixar Animation Studio, and he wants to take himself to play again.

Jobs rarely responded to the staff nodding to him. But everyone is also used to Jobs like this, and he won't waste his time on it.

After walking with Jobs for more than ten minutes, he came to a corner, and Jobs turned around and said mysteriously: "Andy, you will be the first guest here." ”

After coming inside, Liu Anran was dumbfounded, this turned out to be an Apple experience store.

"Andy, let me introduce you, this is Ron? Johnson, the guy I hired with a high salary to help me with my retail store plan. From a customer's point of view, wouldn't you feel good to be here? After Jobs finished the introduction, he said to Liu Anran with great interest.

Liu Anran nodded stupidly, he didn't expect to see the famous Applestore in advance: "Jobs, I believe that as long as your retail store is launched, the sales of Apple products will be greatly improved, and people will know more about the Apple brand." ”

"Actually, we started planning this store a long time ago, and I'm very confident. It's just that my body is in a problem, so I delayed it for a while. However, I would like to open this store before this new product launch. Jobs said with a smile.

"Our business philosophy is not to sell our products to customers, we will patiently communicate with customers, so that they can experience the benefits of our products and what kind of convenience will be brought to them in their future life. Our only task is to create better products that customers can experience and buy. ”

Jobs was thrilled to say that it was rare to meet someone who agreed with him. When the plan was first proposed to the board of directors, it was met with unanimous opposition. Or under all the pressure, I pushed it down.

"I'm thinking about whether to let them eat some more Apple shares, and I think that as soon as this retail store is launched, plus the new product is launched, Apple's stock price will skyrocket again. But I think you should still take a break and don't get too tired. Liu Anran nodded and said.

"Andy, you are now the largest individual shareholder of our company. Do you still want your stake to break 10%? But now that you've made money, I don't have any problem with continuing to increase your holdings. Jobs shrugged his shoulders and said.

Now Liu Anran controls a high proportion of Apple shares, but they are in the hands of different institutions. People who don't know Liu Anran may not know that they have been dealing with him for so long and don't know that he has been thinking about Apple for a long time.

But not only did he not object, on the contrary, he welcomed it. He always felt that the ideas of those people on the board of directors could not keep up with his pace, and if Liu Anran was interested in getting a seat on the board, he would have strong support when he promoted some plans and ideas in the future.

"Look, you also know that I have a lot of plans lately, and I am still a little tight on the funds in my hands. And I think your steps are still a little small, depending on what you mean, you just want to open an experiment, since you are so confident in this store, why not open a few more at a time? Liu Anran nodded and asked.

"I don't think one is enough at all, so it's better to have five at the same time. In this way, it can attract people's attention and make people pay more attention. ”

"Well, it's a really great idea, but five is a bit too much, and three is better. That's it, Johnson, we're going to choose the addresses of two more stores, and we're going to have to be quick, we don't have a lot of time. Jobs touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying to Ron? Johnson said.

Ron? Johnson opened his mouth to try to persuade him, but he gave up. What Jobs recognized as something would not change, it can only be said that one madman meets another madman, making them all even crazier. (To be continued.) )
