Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 551 Apple's Response

In less than 5 minutes, all the high-level executives at Apple arrived at home, and those who were not in the company, like Jonathan Ive, hurried back.

After everyone sat down, Jobs didn't say anything, and directly signaled Cook to play the video from beginning to end again.

Although Jobs didn't say anything, everyone felt that something big was about to happen, especially the sudden notice of the meeting. The key was Jobs' stern expression, and everyone was trembling.

Jobs has always been the master of "one thing and one thing" at Apple. People can become mature, but the most essential character of a person remains unchanged, and Jobs has a strong desire to control, from the "closed culture" of Apple he created. I can tell,
It can even be said that Jobs is a "tyrant" in essence. This has been very obvious since he returned to Apple. He directly reorganized the board of directors and expelled all the board members who had expelled him before, including the fact that they welcomed him. incoming board members.

There can only be one and only one voice at Apple, and that is Jobs' business.

No matter who it is, as long as he doesn't listen to Jobs, he will kick him out of the board of directors, and Jobs reorganized the board of directors, not to let the board of directors play a big role, but to make it a puppet, let it obey his orders, and be subject to it. Its dominance, so as to achieve monopoly and cover the sky with one hand.

It is said that when Jobs first returned to Apple, he planned to invite Arthur Levitt, chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, to join Apple's board of directors.

This made Arthur Levitt very excited, because he himself is a fan of Apple. Since he bought the first Macintosh computer in 1984, Arthur Levitt was immediately impressed by the high performance and high quality of Apple products. , has become one of Apple's loyal fans for more than ten years.

When Arthur Levitt learned that Jobs intended to let him join Apple's board of directors, he excitedly visited Apple's headquarters and discussed with Jobs his future role in Apple's board of directors.

But Jobs didn't like it very much, especially after Jobs stumbled upon Arthur Levitt's point of view that "the board of directors should assume a strong and independent role" in a speech, Jobs immediately withdrew his order.

Jobs directly called Arthur Levitt on the computer and told Arthur Levitt that he felt that the views put forward by Arthur Levitt might be suitable for some companies, but they definitely did not suit Apple's corporate culture, so he decided to withdraw his opinion on Arthur Levitt. invite.

This hit Arthur Levitt hard. He originally planned to do a big job. He thought that Apple's board of directors was just a puppet of Jobs, and he only needed to obey his orders.

Jobs' behavior style is very similar to Li Feng's, but Li Feng's methods are more gentle, perhaps because Li Feng controls the vast majority of Fengrui's shares, he is not afraid of the restrictions of the board of directors, and he doesn't even need a board of directors. never mind.

******
At this time, the video was finished playing soon, the launch of the Android system, the establishment of the Android Alliance, and the first Android smartphone... etc. These have a great impact on all the high-level executives present at Apple, no wonder it made Jobs so nervous , It turns out that there is an enemy attacking!

Everyone is also discussing:

"Who can tell me, how did this Fengrui come out from there, how did he quietly create an Android system, and then quietly create an Android Open Alliance, even their first Android can only Mobile phones are not much later than ours!" Some were surprised.

"Yeah, what the hell is going on with Fengrui? Why didn't we get any news from Apple? Fengrui can make such a big noise, it must not be done in a day or two, and it must be a layout It's been a long time, what are we Apple doing at this time!" Some accused.

……

At this time, someone introduced: "I know a little about this Fengrui. It comes from a Huaxia company, and it is a completely native Huaxia company. But his founder is not simple. His Chinese name is "Li Feng". not very clear,
However, he has a very famous name in Silicon Valley, called "Leo", and is highly praised by many Silicon Valley investors, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter (Twitter), which are now on fire... all have his investment,
And this Leo is very young, he is estimated to be 23/24 years old now, and he comes from a very ordinary family. It is really not easy to start from scratch!Even now, Leo holds the vast majority of Fengrui’s shares, and I’ve heard that Fengrui is currently preparing for financing, with a valuation starting directly at 300 billion US dollars! "

"It turned out to be Leo. I didn't expect it to be him. Besides, this person's experience is really wonderful. It's not easy to be so successful and still have so many shares!"

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard of this person too, and I've heard that in China they pay great attention to self-reliance and interpersonal relationships. Few young people are successful, and this Leo can achieve so at such a young age. Success must be even more difficult!"

……

While everyone was discussing, Jobs didn't bother them. He also took a piece of information on Feng Rui and Li Feng that Cook had just sorted out to study carefully. If you want to defeat your enemy, you must first understand your enemy. It seems that what is called in China "know yourself and know the enemy, and you can win every battle",
So if you want to defeat Fengrui, you must first understand it; and to understand Fengrui, the most important thing is to understand its main leader, Li Feng. He is not only Fengrui's current leader, but also Fengrui's founder. major shareholder.

The more Jobs studied Li Feng's materials, the more he felt that Li Feng was powerful. What did this person say? It was like playing a game to "open and hang". He knew that there were treasures there, that there were monsters there, and that he knew the way forward. He could make money by doing anything. , You can succeed in whatever you do, and you can achieve whatever you want to do.

Moreover, his entrepreneurial experience is very similar to his own, he became famous at a young age, but this Li Feng is stronger than himself, that is, he has firmly grasped his own company from beginning to end, and has been on the road to success from beginning to end, without missing a single step , and even those companies he invested in, all succeeded, and none of them failed!

As if invincibility is a sign of his success!
Never fail!
Never fail!
Never fail!
Such Li Feng wants to enter his own operating system, and the layout has been perfected for such a long time, does he still want to continue to succeed? !
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
No one has ever defeated himself. If Bill Gates can't, then neither can Li Feng!Jobs clenched his fist tightly.

It's just that what should we do now, the "enemies" have already made their moves, and they are waiting to die, which is not Jobs' style, and Jobs is also in deep thought...

Just when Jobs had some thoughts, the discussion on the scene soon interrupted Jobs' thoughts.

"Who collected the information, why didn't they find such a big problem!"

"We mainly focus on Microsoft, where we will think of Fengrui from Huaxia."

"Then why didn't I think of it..."

.....
At this moment, there is still arguing, what's the point of shirking responsibility!This made Jobs very annoyed, he patted the desk in front of him hard, and said loudly:
"What are you doing, what are you arguing about, now is not the time for who is right and who is wrong, now is the time to solve the problem, since everyone is so willing to talk, let's talk more!"

It's just that after Jobs finished speaking, no one spoke, and everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. Who can touch Jobs' eyebrows at this time, isn't it courting death!
Seeing that no one spoke, Jobs didn't push too much. Now that time is very precious, he also said: "Actually, the matter of Fengrui is all my fault.
When Fengrui held the opener conference, I knew it. I remember that Cook showed me the live broadcast at that time, but I didn’t take it seriously, and gave up after watching it twice;
Even when Fengrui first formed the Android Alliance, I heard some rumors, but subconsciously, I still didn't take it seriously. After all, it is too difficult for me to believe that a Chinese company develops an operating system! "

What Jobs said was right. It is indeed too difficult for a Chinese company to develop such an excellent operating system, and everyone thinks so, but they just don't want to admit it.

Fortunately, Jobs directly uncovered this scar, and then faced the problem calmly, "But don't worry about everything now, we Apple still has time to have a chance, the success of a system is not simply a good or bad system, otherwise Microsoft's Windows It's over already!"

Yes, what Jobs said was right. Now that the war has just begun, it is too early to tell the winner, let alone we still have Jobs!

If Li Feng's experience just now is wonderful, then Jobs is a living "legend". From the blockbuster fame at a young age, to the self-exile abandoned by Apple, and finally to the return of the true god... Jobs' experience is a legend, and he is now Still continue to create legends.

When Jobs said this, everyone felt relieved. That’s right, it’s just a small Chinese company. How could it be regarded as a “giant” Microsoft?

At this time Jobs also called the name, "Cook, you should talk about it first. After all, you were the first to discover the situation, and you are familiar with the situation. What do you think we should do next?"

In fact, regarding the issue of "how to deal with the sharp Android system", Cook began to think about it as early as the first time he discovered the situation. He also thought about it, rearranged his thoughts and said:

"Fengrui's Android system is relatively powerful, but it only makes Android mobile operating system, and the first smartphone supporting Android system was developed by HTC. One is for the system and the other is for the mobile phone. This seems to be very good. Combination, but it may not be able to play the effect of 1+1 greater than or equal to 2;
I think everyone is quite clear about this point. Hardware and software need a certain degree of fit. Only products that work closely together with software and hardware are the best products, and this is our advantage at Apple.

No matter how good Fengrui's Android system is, the physical examination for users is definitely better than Apple's, and I also specially noticed that the first Android phone released by HTC has a touch screen and a keyboard. I want to please both sides. Not flattering, after all, the size and capacity of mobile phones are limited, so I think our Apple iPhones are better than Fengrui HTC phones,
So I think the most important thing for us now is not to deal with Fengrui. Moreover, if we succeed in the launch of Apple's first-generation iPhone, then we will have a lot of room for follow-up operations. After all, all system disputes will eventually come back. As far as the product is concerned, Fengrui's first Android phone is two months behind us.

And what I mean is, do nothing now, just do our own thing well, the most important key is the launch of Apple's first-generation iPhone! "

"Well, yes, it can be done!"

"Well, I also agree with Cook's idea!"

……

What Cook said is good, and everyone agrees. The key is the success or failure of the first-generation iPhone.

However, some people have different opinions, "I think what Cook said is good, but we can't take Fengrui lightly. We don't know what the future market of smartphones is now. Even I think the first generation iPhone is good, and it is better than HTC. good

But in the market, no one can tell, maybe someone will like this kind of mobile phone, so we have to prepare both ways. While doing a good job in the launch of our iPhone mobile phone, we must also attack the sharp Android system. Any chance of his momentum. "

"Well, this also makes sense. We have to learn the lesson from Microsoft, and we can't relax before we confirm our dominance!"

"Well, that's what it means. Hold both hands hard, and don't let go of both sides. Microsoft should also be vigilant!"

……

The collective wisdom is indeed very powerful. After a while, several countermeasures were discussed, and Jobs was also very satisfied. After all, Jobs spent a lot of effort in building this unity, and there are still many core members of the team who have not come, especially his own. Go-getter Jonathan Ive is still on the way.

After everyone finished talking, Jobs also concluded: "What everyone said is good, at least I am not scared, which makes me very satisfied, and I will also express my thoughts a little bit.

First of all, everyone should understand a truth. From the time when Fengrui launched the Android system and established the Android Alliance, Fengrui has been our enemy. The competition between systems is the cruelest. There are only life and death, success and failure. Think about us and Microsoft. Understood!You don't need to have any luck. "

"Second, in fact, what everyone said just now is correct. Fengrui is a small company. It is not as powerful as we imagined. It is just a product of Apple's carelessness."

Then Jobs stretched out three fingers and said again: "This is mainly because we have never paid attention to or studied Fengrui.

It seems that Fengrui is coming aggressively, but in fact it hits us Apple's measures are not enough, and this is all an illusion, Fengrui is not as powerful as we all imagined, it just has three fatal weaknesses! "

Three fatal weaknesses! ?real or fake? !

After just a few glances, I found three weaknesses, which were fatal!
Jobs is not kidding!
