American Fortune Life

1 Unlimited Loop Road, Coopertino, Silicon Valley, California, USA, Apple Corporation headquarters, is an Apple science and technology park, surrounded by buildings and designed to resemble universities. The main body of the administrative building is really bad, not even the county government building in Rabbit Country.

As Jobs' first apprentice at the company, Cook pushed open the door to Jobs' office and walked in.

“Is something wrong?” Jobs looked up from various documents and asked Cook, who had already sat across the street.

“I just got an appointment and Andy Smith wants to see you and say there's business to talk to you in person.” Cook slightly lowered his head and told Big Joe about it.

“Andy Smith, actually, I'd love to meet this big shareholder of our company. He's been under a lot of pressure lately. I didn't think he'd be so fond of crazy phones...” He smiled with an obscure expression on his face.

Cook also shook his head and smiled bitterly. To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in his crazy phone. Don't look at the release. It's good, but the first version of Love 1 supports only the 2G network connection provided by AT&T. It's easy to lose the envelope. The key is that the speed of the internet is like a turtle, which is comparable to the torture of dialing the internet in that year.

Especially with the recent resolution of the board of directors, Mr. Joe threw an intoxicating price, which was just as intoxicating as the price of 499 and 599 knives, two to three times the price of other products.

Cook comes from the product design and is quite satisfied with the design of the crazy phone, even if there is only 1 button on the front of the whole machine!!! This totally contradicts the then popular multi-button design of mobile phones. The huge body and the thin pursuit of digital products at the time were in complete conflict.

But he is also confident that people will fall in love with the shape of this phone. It's just the shape of the phone. The content is Wangdao. There is no APP for users to use. Is it just a phone call and listen to music at such an expensive price?

Jobs also knows some of this difficulty, but paranoia like him won't accept failure, and even if this phone is a failure, he will die. Just like Microsoft Front Hard Steel.

He came back to Apple as the Savior, how could he fail!

“Look at these newspapers today... Andy Smith is a bunch of bullshit kids in their eyes. Are these the kind of kids in their mouths who make money in a matter of months that they'll never make again? They're all idiots! ”

Jobs grabbed the newspaper at hand, lifted it in the air, his slender face, his glasses glowing, his ridiculous expression, he had been attacked by the media a long time ago, knowing the faces of those media, well, who made his stains too unseemly?

“Inform each other that Andy Smith is invited to visit Apple Industrial Park in my name. Since an outsider so adores crazy phones, as us, he can no longer pretend to be blind. Microsoft and Nokia have had enough ridicule for a while. Second generation machines need to make samples as soon as possible, and some of the problems of Love 1 need to be solved as soon as possible. Especially the black background, the problem of not replacing wallpaper, no horizontal keyboard problems, chasing major network speed problems, 3G is the key... ”

Cook left the Jobs office with a smile. Just now, Mr. Joe was a self-explanatory man who couldn't even get into the conversation. Hey, being a penis under such a strong man, and controlling yu is so counterproductive, it's really depressing to ask the CEO of everything.

Jobs in the office looked at his increasingly thin image in the mirror, his eyes flashed with discomfort and firmness, he knew very well what his body was like, spending more money, just to keep himself alive for a while, for a limited period of time, always leave the world with a rich ink, to amaze, to worship or to lament, even if he had capital long ago that could be kept in the history of science and technology.

The breeze blew through, flicking the newspaper on the table, making a noise of sand, looking at Andy Smith's handsome young photograph, whispering, “What an interesting little guy... ”

Andy's cold photo in the paper is underneath a line of titles, "Did the money break Andy Smith's brain and make him a nonsense clown? ”

“The age of real smartphones has come and the death bells of traditional pseudo-smartphones have been ringing! Andy Smith."

San Francisco Mockingbird Gaming Company conference room.

Andy smiled with the sun on his face, looking at the representatives of the three banks across the street, and the team behind him, and the atmosphere in the room was weird.

Especially the representative of the Bank of America, Lewis, the former credit account manager with whom Andy first made a loan, has now risen to the rank of a major account manager, looking at Andy with a grudging eye, and full of guard and hostility towards the representatives of the other two banks around him.

Well, this is a $500 million loan, look at the asset valuation on hand, Tsk, it's so tempting, this game company is like a hen laying down a golden egg!

The representatives of the other two banks were similarly gleaming with greed, and how could they not be thrilled that speculators on Wall Street could have had the opportunity to share a dividend on the rapid growth of the gaming company in advance?

“As you've all seen, this is the financial position that our gaming company can disclose to the public, although not in detail, but I want to make enough judgement that our boss doesn't want to waste too much time at the negotiating table, so next, please write down the amount of your bank's loan, the interest rate, and we'll choose one of them as a partner, only once, and if you don't meet our requirements, then we'll renegotiate with the other banks. ”

With a smile on his face, Alvitelli sat in the middle and looked at the three bank representatives who had changed colour. He said the request with no concern. The voice fell, and the three bank representatives sank into the ink and looked at each other. They all saw the helplessness, frustration and alertness in each other's eyes.

To be honest, when they walked into the conference room and saw each other, they guessed that there would be such a play, that no one was a fool, and that way of negotiating had been experienced.

In doing so, the companies that put eye-drops on the banks are basically in the buyer's market, and the banks don't have many choices, unless they don't want to do the business, if they want to take the business, they have to compete with each other at a competitive price, which is a masterpiece!

Feeling uncomfortable? All right, you can quit. The other two will have to lose one!

“Three, I want to tell you that this business is just the beginning, I'm young, I have a lot of ambition, I have a lot of opportunities to work with in the future, I am a very old man, I like to work with old friends, I think the representative of Bank of America Mr. Lewis should know best, so I look forward to having a long-lasting partner out of the three. ”

Andy sat next to Alvitelli, his mouth curled with words that made everyone look weird. The three bank representatives across the street couldn't help but laugh. What a big bait. Are they biting, biting, or biting!
