Chapter 867: Apple Heir: Cook

"That ......"

Faced with such favorable conditions, Jobs opened his mouth and nodded in agreement.

"Zhang Ning, you are a local tyrant now, I can only agree."

"Haha, that's a good cooperation."

Jobs can agree, Zhang Ning doesn't care if he calls himself a local tyrant.

Anyway, he looks like a local tyrant.

"However, Zhang Ning, I must say that for this cooperation, I may not have much energy to be responsible for the operating system, and I am eager to launch our 64-bit computer. Of course, I mean, I'll also take the time to take care of what you call a generic PC operating system...... I mean, you get the idea. ”

"Understood."

This guy is a really good idea.

I took the money, but I didn't want to do anything.

However, Zhang rather did not want to debunk Jobs.

The general PC operating system plan, he doesn't want to involve Jobs yet.

It's not that Jobs is incapable, but this guy is too capable, often his ability is more than a little bit higher than others, and he is very innovative. It's like their own operating system, in fact, they already have their own operating system, but it's okay to be so tall every day. In the end, he couldn't adapt to the market, and there is no doubt that Zhang Ning would hit the wall if Jobs was involved.

"In this way, Mr. Jobs, I will be responsible for the PC general operating system. However, you also know that we have a shortage of manpower in this area, and I want to find some people in your company to help, what do you think? ”

"Of course, we are partners, whoever you want, come directly to our Apple when the time comes, everyone, I can choose whatever you want."

"That couldn't be better."

After negotiating with Jobs, Zhang Ning was busy entering the business of operating systems.

Of course, in fact, Zhang Ning still has an input method to launch.

It's just that, just in case, Zhang Ning decided to get the framework of the operating system plan first.

At the very least, the new company needs to be set up, and at the same time, it is necessary to find specific talents.

Under the full promotion of Zhang Ning, soon, a new company, Penguin Apple Software Company, was officially established.

Although the name sounds strange, this brand new company still attracts a lot of attention.

One is a penguin and the other is an apple.

One is the king of the global Internet, and the other is the king of scientific and technological innovation.

Together, what will they bring to the world?

A lot of media talk is already talking, looking forward to the changes that the two companies will bring to the world.

At the same time, Zhang Ning also came to Apple as soon as possible, ready to pull a few people over.

"Zhang Ning, you really came to ask for someone?"

Seeing Zhang Ning coming to Apple, Jobs did not directly ask Zhang Ning to choose someone as he said before.

On the contrary, after seeing Zhang Ning, Jobs was very bitter.

"Actually, Zhang Ning, you know Apple's business recently, it's relatively busy. All of our employees have been fully engaged in the development of the 64-bit computer. The talent you want, I'm afraid, we really can't give it to Apple. ”

"Jobs, what do you mean?"

Zhang Ning's face turned cold and looked at Jobs angrily.

"Zhang Ning, don't get me wrong, you wait a few more days, how about waiting a few more days, when we are done, I will definitely find time to personally lead the team to develop our general PC operating system."

"Jobs, forget it if you come, you're still busy with yourself."

Zhang Ning snorted coldly.

This guy is really the goods of his teammates.

When Steve Jobs and his first partner developed the game console, they agreed that they would be paid half of each of them after the development. Although Jobs didn't have any technology at that time, basically more than 99% of the technology was in charge of Tizi, he was only working, but Tizi didn't think much about it at the time, one person and one half. As a result, Jobs said that the game manufacturer gave them $700, so he gave $350 to Tide. It seems, this is one and a half. But not long afterward, when Tizi once chatted with the CEO of the game console manufacturer, he learned that the CEO paid Steve Jobs not $700, but $5,000.

Unexpectedly, when this guy cooperated with himself, he also began to pit himself.

Hmph, if it weren't for the operating system, Jobs, do you think I'd work with you?

Fortunately, Zhang Ning had a plan.

"Jobs, you mean, you don't want to be involved in the plan for a universal PC operating system?"

Zhang Ning looked at Jobs.

"No, Zhang Ning, of course I want to participate, it's just that you know now that I'm too busy. I assure you, as soon as I develop a 64-bit computer, I'll lead all the people at Apple to take care of it. ”

"In that case, well, Jobs, then Penguin Apple Software is in charge of our Penguin family. As for your 64-bit computers, we're not going to get involved either. ”

"Hey, hey, Zhang Ning, this can't be done, we have signed the contract."

"Don't worry, Jobs, I can't do without you. However, Penguin Apple Software will have nothing to do with your Apple in the future, including shares...... And, until our operating system comes out, I can use your Apple brand, including the kernel of your Apple system. ”

"Okay then."

Jobs did not object.

He really wasn't interested in that operating system business.

Moreover, he also believes that Zhang Ning will never succeed.

"However, Zhang Ning, I still want to thank you, thank you for helping us in Apple's most difficult time."

Jobs looked a little embarrassed.

"No thanks, if you want to thank you, I just need one person from your company."

"If you hand him over to me, then I will let go of all the unpleasantness that happened to us before."

"Zhang Ning, you say, who, as long as he has no task, I will definitely release him."

"Cook."

Cook: The heir of later Steve Jobs and the CEO of later Apple.

After the death of Steve Jobs, Cook continued to propel Apple forward, causing its stock price to set world records again and again.

Although Cook does not have the innovative ability of Jobs, it has to be said that Cook is also a rare genius.

In particular, Cook is also a master of adapting to the market and following the laws of the market.

Zhang Ning just wants such a master.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cook in 2004 was not valued by Jobs.

"You're talking about Cook, well, I promise you."

After thinking about it for a while, although Jobs didn't particularly want to release people, considering that Cook was not a person in Apple's inner circle, and if he didn't let anyone go, it would be too bad for Zhang Ning to save face, so would he have to cooperate in the future. I had no choice but to nod, but still said to Zhang Ning, "However, Zhang Ning, apart from Cook, we really don't have anyone else." If you want, you can only wait. ”

"Okay, I know, take me to him."

"No need, I'll call him over."

Taking out the phone, Jobs called Cook's office.

A few minutes later, Mr. Cook took a document and knocked on the door of Mr. Jobs' office.

And then come in. didn't seem to notice that there was Zhang Ning on the side, and Cook said directly to Jobs, "Jobs, I think that for our 64-bit computers, we can consider using Intel processors." At present, the world's 64-bit performance is the best in the table is Intel. ”

"Cook, stop, don't get involved in the 64-bit computer, I'll introduce you to someone."

Jobs waved his hand, pointed to Zhang Ning on the side and said, "This is Mr. Zhang Ning." ”

"Zhang, hello."

Cook nodded to Zhang Ning, but immediately looked at Jobs again, "Why, why don't you let me get involved in the 64-bit computer business." ”

"Let Mr. Zhang Ning explain it to you."

Jobs leaned back in his chair and handed the words to Zhang Ning.

"Hello Cook, you're no longer an Apple employee, welcome to Penguin."

Walking forward, Zhang Ning said to Cook.

……

"What, Cook, no interest in us penguins?"

A few days later, Zhang Ning treated Cook to a meal.

Cook didn't go to work these days, and he didn't go to Penguin.

Zhang Ning knew that Cook, who was fired by Apple, was not in a good mood.

“no。”

Cook smiled wryly, "I just have some of them that haven't come to my senses yet, so why did I get fired." ”

"Hehe, it's not the apple that fries you, it's that I insist on pulling you to the penguin."

"Strange, Mr. Zhang Ning, I didn't enter the inner circle at Apple, you pulled me to what you penguins do. And, as far as I know, you only pulled me alone, are you so optimistic about me. ”

"I've always believed in my own vision."

"But, Mr. Zhang Ning, I don't even believe in myself."

Cook has some self-deprecation.

He is actually a man with dreams.

When he joined Apple, he wanted to enter Apple's inner circle and help Apple regain its former peak status.

It's a pity that I didn't expect that after a few years of drying, I was actually fried by apples.

Although it seems that Zhang Ning is pulling himself to the penguin, it also shows that he has not been paid much attention by Jobs in Apple in recent years. If you pay attention, where is Jobs willing to let go.

"Cook, you can't take yourself so lightly, sometimes, we don't know how much potential human beings have. A few years ago, I didn't even think I could start a penguin company as big as I am now. I don't think you can play under Apple's current system, especially under the authoritarian system like Jobs, you can't achieve your recovery at all. But at us at Penguin, I can give you maximum authority. ”

Compared with Jobs, Zhang Ning prefers Cook.

Steve Jobs was a genius, but he was self-determined and arrogant, and one day he might be at the top of the world, but one day, he would soon fall. But Cook is different, he can manage well according to the needs of the market. In particular, if Zhang Ning wants to enter the operating system market, he needs people like Cook to operate.

This is also the reason why Zhang Ning knew that Jobs had cheated himself, but Zhang Ning had not turned his face with Jobs.

As long as you take the kukra to the penguin, then, a qiē is worth it.

Even if, Zhang Ning took out a sum of money to Jobs and asked them to develop a 64-bit PC computer.

Of course, Zhang Ning also knows that 64-bit PC computers will not succeed in the future.

"Thank you, Zhang Ning."

Cook stood up and took out his wine glass, "Zhang Ning, come, have a drink." ”

"Actually, I'm interested in you penguins too."

"Good guy, don't come to work if you're interested."

Seeing Cook winking at him, Zhang Ning felt that this guy had played a little trick on himself.

Do the momentum to KO Cook.

Cook jumped away and laughed, "Haha, if it weren't for that, how would I know I could find such a powerful boss." ”
