Chapter 188: Donus Joins

Wen Ming suddenly found himself busy, and after getting out of the hospital where Aaron Martin was staying, he immediately flew to Boston to prepare for Apple's headquarters.

After solving the cancer crisis he was facing and becoming extremely powerful, Wen Ming could no longer lock himself in the laboratory. Because his current industry is really huge, although these industries are managed by professionals, but if he, the boss, does not come forward, one day, no one will know who he is.

Moreover, his Apple company so far only has two products, the iPhone and the iPad, although these two products can allow his Apple to firmly occupy the mobile device market, but this is obviously not enough.

If Apple wants to achieve what it has achieved in another world, then it is necessary to seize Microsoft's PC market.

Although Bill Gates is also about to become a shareholder of Apple, so what does it matter?

After returning to Apple again, Wen Ming held a high-level meeting.

The number of senior executives at Apple is increasing, because in the process of enterprise development, many new departments are inevitably needed, and the head of these departments must be one of the top executives of the company.

The content of the meeting is nothing more than a summary of the work of the previous period, and then some arrangements for the future work.

Of course, the main purpose is to emphasize the existence of my own boss.

After the high-level meeting, Wen Ming returned to his chairman's office, and today he met with a very important guest. What is important here is what is important to Apple.

There was a knock on the door, and Lilith came in with someone she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Mr. Donnas, it's been a long time."

Wen Ming stood up with a smile on his face, and even stepped out of the desk and gave Donus a hug. The last time he and Donus saw each other was when he escaped from a desert island and was rescued by Donus on a ship.

After getting off the boat, they never saw each other again.

Wen Ming has a very good impression of Donnas, not only because Donus is his savior, not only because Donus is the technical puzzle of his Apple empire, but also because when he was suffering from cancer, Donus sent a message to help him.

This is important.

When a person is found at sea, almost no one will refuse to save them as long as they are not engaged in some illegal activities. But after Wen Ming suffered from cancer, it can even be said that he was incurable, and he was willing to lend a hand, which can only show that this person's heart is really good.

You must know that there were seven or eight people who rescued Wen Ming in addition to Donnas. And none of those people were willing to help Wen Ming after learning that he had cancer.

Of course, it is the duty of others to help him, and it is his duty not to help him. Wen Ming is not qualified to pursue these, but he can choose how to repay those people after he has the ability.

For the people who were on the same ship as Donus at the beginning, Wen Ming has asked Apple and Tesla to record their information, and in the future, whenever Apple has a new product, or Tesla has a new product, it will be given to those people for free.

Iphones and iPads aren't worth much, but what about Tesla's pure electric cars?

And Donus didn't enjoy these rewards, because Wen Ming was ready to give him a more generous reward.

"It's been a long time."

After Donus and Wen Ming hugged for a while, they sat down at Wen Ming's invitation, and then sighed with a sigh on their faces: "I never thought that the person I met at sea would achieve such a high achievement in such a short period of time. Even, already on an equal footing with my boss. ”

The boss of Donnas, naturally, is Bill Gates. Saying that Wen Ming and Bill Gates are on an equal footing is not an exaggeration at all. Not to mention the value, just the fact that Bill Gates gave up his stake in Facebook and then took a stake in Apple, which has a higher valuation, is enough to prove that Bill Gates values Wen Ming.

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Your boss? Mr. Donnas, I think you should call him a former boss. ”

Donners was able to come to Apple so openly, and it was when the P system was criticized recently, naturally because he had left Microsoft.

It's not that Microsoft has to fire Donnas, it's Nokia's failure on the P system, and someone always needs to be blamed.

"If it weren't for you, I think, he would still be my boss. It's just that I need to change departments at Microsoft. ”

Donus smiled bitterly and asked, "I'm really curious, why did you conclude that the P system would fail before it was released?" Even if you already had the idea of iOS at that time, but you didn't have the funds to help you complete the iPhone product at that time, what gave you confidence? Or is it because you wanted me to work for you at that time? ”

Wen Ming smiled, then pointed to his head and said, "I said that I can see the future, do you believe it?" ”

When the fake is true, the truth is also false.

Donus took this sentence as the conceit of Wen Ming's genius, and said with a wry smile: "So, now do you really want me to join Apple?" ”

Wen Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, if you don't have a non-compete agreement with Microsoft, we can sign the employment contract now." Of course, even if you have a non-compete agreement with Microsoft, I think I can say hello to Mr. Bill Gates. ”

Donus was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have a non-compete agreement, but this does not affect me from joining Apple, because your system and the system we made before are completely two platforms. Wait, I suddenly thought of a question, Bill Gates has a stake in Apple, then, won't he still be my boss in the future? ”

Wen Ming nodded, and said as a matter of course: "It can indeed be understood in this way, but, strictly speaking, he will not have the decision-making power of Apple, as well as the management of specific affairs." So, he's still your 'former' boss. ”

After the joke, Wen Ming said seriously: "If you decide to sign the employment agreement, then you will have the right to dividends from the technology and management shares enjoyed by the veteran employees of Apple." At the same time, you will become the head of Apple's R&D department, responsible for the later upgrade and development of iPhone and iPad, as well as the maintenance and upgrade of the iOS system. ”

Donners was stunned and asked in disbelief, "The person in charge?" But I only know about technology, and I don't really know much about product design. ”

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Haven't you heard? Whether it's an existing Apple product or a new Tesla sports car, the product design is up to me? ”

Donus was speechless and said, "Well, if you don't think I'm here to be a commercial espionage, then when can we sign the agreement?" ”

Wen Ming pressed the call button on the desk, asked Lilith to take the prepared contract in, and said: "If you are really here to be a commercial spy, then I think your 'former' boss must be very entangled, because he will be entangled in which company he should make money from, Microsoft or Apple?" ”

Donus laughed, began to look at the contract, and after a few minutes, signed his name on it in earnest.

At the same time, Apple's non-compete agreement was also signed, and there were some confidentiality clauses.

"Even though I've signed my name, I still want to know why there is a confidentiality clause?"

Faced with Donnas's puzzlement, Wen Ming smiled and said, "Because I will give you a task to develop a new Apple product." ”
