American Fortune Life

Chapter 1659: I'm Gonna Buy The Whole USA!

In a previous life, since Jobs' death, Apple has shown a bleak creativity that has disappointed all fruit powders. That's probably the biggest reason most people around the world don't talk about Cook as much as Jobs.

Cook is in an awkward position to innovate.

But Andy doesn't think Apple's lack of innovation is really to blame for Cook, assuming Jobs is still around, does Apple have the ability to subvert Xing's innovation?

I'm afraid not.

After all, Cook was Jobs' handpicked successor, and Big Joe knew exactly what Cook was best at, data, operations, and he knew very well that Cook was not a visionary, innovator at all.

As Andy's company grows, there's just more and more business management to understand, and when he looks at Apple from his current perspective, especially when standing higher than everyone else, he can really clearly see the dilemmas and troubles that Apple faces.

To put it bluntly, with supply chain constraints and Android system competition, Apple's strategy to move from subversive innovation as its core competitiveness to operations as its core competitiveness is inevitable, whether Jobs is at home or not.

Because a truly brilliant business growth depends on the evolving management system, and the downhill begins by improving its ability to operate well.

Andy joined Apple's board of directors, also to learn from Apple.

Andy, as a man who can ‘foresee the future', can truly keep anyone out of sight, but Andy is not that arrogant foolish, knowing that he can't rely on that little bit of money for the rest of his life, after all, ‘plug-in time' is limited.

Andy has to admit, Apple is a great company!

Apple pioneered and culminated in the perfect integration of an obsessive industrial product philosophy with a polarized industrial system within the human horizon.

By joining Apple, Andy wants to understand and learn from within the whole system, including the supply chain management philosophy, the organizational structure philosophy, the talent philosophy, and so on.

On this footing, Apple is undoubtedly the king, if only the king of our time.

So, over the next few days, Andy took advantage of his membership in the board and looked extensively at the minutes of Apple's board and corporate meetings, as well as some internal information, to learn some management experience.

Not to mention that Andy really figured out Cook's so-called global supply chain management system, where no one can take their right, and really realized that the real tough guy wasn't Jobs, but Tim Cook, who was the kind of cold-blooded capitalist in the textbooks.

Non-disclosure of supply chains is its long-standing policy, as shown in the minutes of meetings within Apple.

On the one hand, Apple itself does not manufacture electronic equipment and is not involved in the management and operation of manufacturing plants, and on the other hand, it is the tens of thousands of workers behind Apple's bright sales data, manufacturers of electronic equipment, who work day and night to ensure that their product lines are completed on time.

While many of the problems in the electronics supply chain are not just Apple's business, they are anachronistic and the downside of traditional manufacturing processes themselves.

However, Apple's supply chain is almost always under Cook's control. Cook's working style has always been to put pressure on the team, which puts pressure on the supplier, who puts pressure on the worker.

Jobs, Cook doesn't know what's going on with the workers at the bottom of the supply chain, but they don't care about anything else. It has nothing to do with Apple's interests unless, of course, it affects Apple itself.

In that information, it was clearly documented that Cook had stated at a meeting that ethics should be as strict as possible, without involving ethics.

Even once, when we got the production schedule, Cook said, why don't we work on Sundays?

“Oh... ”

Andy, sitting in the office of the general manager of Mockingjay Games, closed the file, shook his head and grabbed the coffee cup by the desk and drank it slowly.

Instead of laughing or despising Apple or Cook, Andy was happy to figure out the Apple Supply Chain Management System, after all, and he was ready to eat a piece of the cake on his phone.

Since he doesn't understand some things, he needs to read and learn more. His mountain stone can attack the jade, not falsely.

“Knock, knock...”

“Boss, Mr. Vitley, is already online...” Dressed in a beautiful, fresh, sophisticated contrasting flower shirt with a slim, elegant fishtail skirt, the assistant stepped in on a pair of black heels with a cropped heel, a floating skirt, a more curved masterpiece, and a slender large white T.

“Well, I get it.” Andy dropped the coffee cup, shook his mouse down, looked up and stood opposite him, a smiling assistant said, "When Lulana returns from London Fashion Week, you and she go to Miami or Malibu to pick a beach house of your choice. ”

“For me?” The little assistant opened his eyes and asked with great surprise and uncertainty.

Andy wasn't angry anymore. She glanced, "Don't you think? ”

“Wonderful! ”

Psst...

“Phew ~”

“Thank you, boss. ”

Tory Blake leaned over Andy's cheek with a bright chun print, blushing and happy.

“Fans! Okay, get out of here. ”

“Pfft!

The little assistant's eyes twisted slim waist slowly out of the office, seemingly worried about the King's inaccuracies, and intentionally increased the swing.

When the office door was closed, Andy retracted his gaze, couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. After clicking the video icon, the black screen quickly lit up, and a real-time view of the New York Gaia Company conference room appeared in the video.

“Here we go. ”

Andy looked lightly at the crowd across the street and said softly.

“ Concerns about the financial system led investors to panic sell, and the New York stock market suffered a major setback yesterday, 2 March, when the Dow Jones index fell by 6,800 points for the first time since April 1997, bringing the S&P 500 closer to the 700 point threshold.

In the past week, earnings from short stock index futures have reached 230 million...

The two days of sharp volatility in United States financial and commodity markets have also added to the downturn in gold. Gold futures prices fell for the sixth day in a row...

At London time, this morning, before the opening of the London stock market, HSBC announced that it would raise $17.7 billion to increase capital adequacy through the issuance of new shares.

At the same time, the Bank released its 2008 performance report, with pre-tax profits of $9.3 billion last year, a significant decline of 60 per cent over the previous year. After the opening, the bank's share price plummeted by eighteen percent. As a result, Standard Chartered Bank, Rice Bank Group UK, Barclays Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland also suffered declines of between two and fifteen percent.

Just now, the London stock market dropped to its lowest point in six years, with the Financial Times' average price index of 100 shares falling by more than 200 points, or five percent, from the previous trading day.

As a result of this drag, Europe's other two major equity indexes have also suffered varying degrees of decline, and European news has seriously hit investors' confidence in global financial markets, fearing that they will deteriorate. Affected by this, US shares continue to fall after opening... ”

“Tsk... ”

Andy listened to all the data reported by his men, and of course he was most concerned about how much money he had earned. As the UK had lifted the time limit for the financial unit, London Branch's performance had been staggering, with £160 million in earnings, leading all Andy's investment teams and even surpassing $230 million in earnings from United States headquarters.

Honestly, while money is now just a bunch of numbers for Andy, making money is always a joy.

But Andy also knows that the good days of the financial crisis are almost over, and it's time to stop and get ready to start the Savior Program!

“In two days' time, March 5th will be the node, and all of our empty funds will be returned to the cage! That's right. Clear all positions! Not at all, have the funds ready, wait for my order, I am ready to start buying the entire United States! ”

In the conference room of Gaia, New York, with the exception of Alvitelli and Badstone, who knew the plan, everyone stared at the big screen with a bright, serious look and was never the big joke owner.
