Seeing that Jobs still didn't believe it, Xuluo simply told the truth: "Mr. Jobs, we are all geniuses, and we are different from others. I'm willing to pay the price I can for the Pixar animation studio I love, just as you're willing to give everything to go back to Apple and let those who look down on you kneel and admit their mistakes, our needs are pure and don't think too much. What do you think?"

When Jobs heard this, there was nothing wrong in his eyes.

He lives by himself, and feels that if he is so rich and falls in love with something he likes, he will definitely do whatever it takes.

In this life, when you have the ability, why can't you be willful?

Thinking of this, his fingers began to tap slowly on the table, turning his eyes back on such a table of food.

"So be it!"

Jobs quickly made a decision, "Apple's side of the matter is according to what you said, the price of Pixar Animation Studio, it is also calculated according to 700 million US dollars, I want cash, is there a problem?"

"No problem!"

Xuluo laughed and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Jobs, happy cooperation!"

Jobs also stretched out his hand and shook it with him.

This time there is no future reboot happening.

Xuluo doesn't care, Pixar Animation Studios is already mine, and the previous owner definitely can't enlighten me anymore.

However, when he resumed eating, he asked a curious question: "Mr. Jobs, why don't you swap with my Apple stock?" I thought you'd ask for a share."

As Jobs ate, he said slowly, "I sold almost all of my Apple shares, and now I won't buy a single share!" I'll make a VAM agreement with them, and if I do well, they'll reward me with Apple stock...... I'm going to earn these stocks back with my own hands!"

"Good!"

Xuluo nodded happily, "If you can make good results, you should naturally be rewarded, I have no opinion!"

[In view of the general environment,

As Apple's largest shareholder, Xuluo's statement is naturally very meaningful.

Jobs smiled and nodded, "You can call me Steve."

can take the initiative to let people call themselves by their first name, which also represents Jobs's recognition of Xuluo.

Xuluo also reciprocated, "Steve, you can call me Luo...... Come, I wish you success and regain your lost glory!"

Jobs raised his glass, "Thank you, and I wish you success at Pixar Animation Studios."

Maybe it's because he can return to Apple, and Jobs is in a good mood.

After eating and drinking, he chatted with Xuluo.

Jobs asked the boy, "Luo, I know that your future computer is now bundled with Microsoft's indos system to be sold to users. But deep down, you feel that it is Microsoft that opens. Is it better to have a Windows system, or is it better to have a closed system with Apple?"

Speaking of which, Xuluo is really a peer in the computer industry.

Although Steve Jobs despised this kind of cobbling together computers, he is now valued at more than $10 billion, which is higher than Apple's total market capitalization.

If you still try to satirize others, it will be a shame on yourself.

Only those who succeed can stand on a high place and guide others.

Just like when Apple was in full swing, Steve Jobs said wildly, "I want to completely destroy Microsoft, their indos system is a thief stolen thing, it shouldn't exist in this world!" In the same way, when did you see Steve Jobs who left Apple and said that?

Compared with today's booming Microsoft, Apple is almost home, and Jobs was driven out of the company he founded in shame, what qualifications do you have to say people?

So now Joe

Booth was discussing the problem with Xuluo.

He's really asking the right question.

This is very clear to Xuluoke, after all, he can "see" indos95!

Xuluo replied, "I have also studied Apple's closed system, which is a closed loop specially made to avoid external viruses, program interference, etc. It has its purest benefits, allowing users to use their computers with peace of mind, and a lot of Apple's software is very cool, and I like it.

But I think the future development trend of computers should still be open. Loose platform! For example, Microsoft's indos system, which was inconspicuous at first, has many more problems than Apple's. But over the years, it has evolved better and better, directly surpassing all operating systems, why is that?

It's not because they're open yet. Put the source code, so that all software engineers and software companies in the world can develop software based on the Indos platform? Everyone works together to make more and more software that can be used in the INDOS system, and naturally the carrier of INDOS is getting better and better.

Closed system and open. On the surface, the battle between Apple and Microsoft is a war between Apple and Microsoft, but in fact it is Apple alone, competing with all the software engineers in the world! One company against all the people, do you say that Apple can win in this way? It's weird to win!"

Jobs nodded, he understood all these truths.

Over the years, without Apple, he can see more clearly from the perspective of a bystander.

The important reason for Apple's decline today is what Xuluo said.

It's not just that Apple's various soft armor functions are not many, the system is stuck, and the hardware facilities are not good.

The truth is, you don't see any hope in Apple.

"While you're right, I don't think there's only one mode of operation in the world." Jobs looked at Xuluo and said slowly, "I think the benefits of Apple's closed system are incomparable! We can create the purest system and software for users according to their needs! In this market segment, Apple will definitely be able to eat it!"

Xuluo smiled dumbly, but his heart was MMP.

The boy thought, this Jobs is really an iron hammer, he has encountered so many difficulties and setbacks, and he still hasn't changed his mind.

In this way, Lao Tzu's Apple shares are in danger!

For a while, he pondered, why don't he sell his shares in Apple in two years?

Although it is possible to lose $3.5 billion in this way, it is better than the total annihilation, right?

But such a decision is not easy to make.

The premise for Jobs to sell Pixar Animation Studios was that the shares in Xuluo's hands could support his return to Apple.

If Xuluo sells all his shares after two or three years, and Jobs is swept out of the house again, Xuluo's reputation will be completely ruined!

Agreeing to other people's things, and turning around and regretting when you get benefits, such people are absolutely unpopular in the business world!

Xuluo is an outsider in the Mi Kingdom itself, and you still have no business credit so much, God knows how the Elder of the Mi Kingdom will target him.

Therefore, even if it is just to set up a character, Xuluo cannot sell Apple shares.

Jobs is also observing Xuluo's expression, but he is a person in the technology industry, and people in the entertainment industry like Xuluo, or even those who have become actors, cannot be compared in terms of expression and mood management.

He couldn't see what Xuluo was thinking.

In fact, Jobs didn't care what Xuluo thought.

Anyway, if you promised to support me, then you have to talk and count.

……

In the next two days, Jobs and Xuluo completed the equity delivery of Pixar Animation Studios.

But this news will not be announced to the public, and it will not be announced until after Jobs becomes Apple.

When the time comes, he will say that because he has no intention of taking care of other companies, he can only change hands.

5

Hundreds of millions of dollars in cash were also deposited into Jobs' designated account.

In fact, Jobs's life is very simple, he doesn't have any luxurious life at all, and his clothes, meals, and consumption are very simple on weekdays.

All he cares about is his career.

Such a pure person, to put it bluntly, is actually a very stubborn person, so it is no wonder that the research and development at Apple did not look back, and in the end he was directly driven away.

And a scene that Jobs was actively looking forward to also appeared.

Cole, chairman of Apple, publicly appealed when interviewed by reporters, "According to the requirements of our major shareholders and the consideration of Apple's future, we are ready to invite back Steve, let him take the helm of the company that carries his dreams, and take Apple out of the predicament!"

As a result, the excited reporter ran to Jobs's door to block him and asked him how to respond, Jobs said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I've never thought about this matter, I'm focusing on my company now!"

The next day, Apple's CEO Camões also told reporters: "Apple is in a predicament right now, and there are a lot of troubles. Steve, please come back! My CEO position itself should be yours! Only you are up to the job!"

"I'm going back to being CEO of Apple? That's a good idea, but I'm not interested!"

This is Jobs' second answer.

So there was Apple's third appeal.

"Steve is a man of great talent! Our technical department needs a visionary like him to direct!"

"You know, when you're in trouble, you always think of the heroes who turned the tide, and compared to Apple, Steve is that kind of person!"

"It's terrible now! We can't think of any other way, and if Steve doesn't come back, isn't Apple going to be doomed?"

Many of Apple's middle managers have also started making various appeals.

In fact, at this point, many people know that the return of Jobs should be a certainty.

Sure enough, just five days later, Apple officially announced that Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, would return to Apple as CEO.

"Welcome home, Steve!
