King of Hollywood

“Open source? Why?" Jobs' eyes squinted, cautious, seemed very upset, and, as such, was quite similar to guarding against children trying to steal their toys.

“For the future.” Adrian in his eyes said with enthusiastic affirmation, "There is no doubt that in the future, the world of smartphones, whoever can seize the opportunity can win the market! I may not have been sure before, but after seeing your stuff today, I'm sure BlackBerry will lead the way in this era, though it has begun! ”

Jobs nodded slightly, perhaps not even realizing it himself, and apparently it made him feel good.

“So what opportunities are we supposed to seize?” Adrian finally threw out his real topic, "Standard! Standard for smartphone systems! ”

He reached out and drew a big circle between them: “Smartphones are a trend, and their market is necessarily a fat one, and if you want to take more and better possession before someone else reacts, then it's very necessary to set a standard for the operating system. The iPhone experience is good, but the system is too closed, and Blackberry is too poorly qualified in the industry, so when the market reacts, there's bound to be a more open system -- have you heard of Android? Google bought them last year, and you don't think it would be fun for the Google Board to approve them? ”

Adrian's tone was much more enthusiastic when he saw Jobs reveal his thoughts: "Think about what happened, Steve. Apple's first personal computer launch was a huge success and is still a high-end product today. It's still the first choice for people to buy personal computers, and when it comes to operating systems, it's Microsoft that comes to mind first. Closed OS systems are stable, but they also give way to the low-end market over to Microsoft. Do you want this to happen again on your smartphone? ”

Speaking of which, he suddenly changed the subject: “I've been warning you before, don't rely entirely on Samsung, but you hardly listen. Now. With this..."

Adrian shook the iPhone prototype in his hand: “I want to ask you, Steve, did you know that Samsung also makes cell phones? If they eat through the structure of the iPhone in the process of being an Apple supplier, then launch their own smartphone and use an open source operating system while threatening Apple. How do you choose between paying more or switching suppliers? ”

“I admit that you said so much, and that was the most threatening of all," Jobs finally opened his mouth after picking his eyebrows. “But on the other hand, it's no big deal, or you want to tell me that you don't have faith in Apple's future, do you? Ed?”

“Yes.” Adrian looked at him and gave a positive answer. “You're absolutely right, Jobs, I have no faith in the future of Apple. ”

Jobs had a slight stunner in his eyes, but he hadn't spoken yet, and Adrian had said it out loud: "I think you should figure out one thing, Steve, I never invested in apples, I never invested in apples. Steve? Jobs, is that the workaholic, arrogant, narcissistic, but also the genius Steve? Jobs! ”

He stood up violently, waving his arm very excitedly: "I've said so much and raised so many bad prospects, but I totally believe that with Steve? With this genius, madman and madman, Apple never has to worry about anything! Apple will always make big strides! No matter how many people try to chase it, it doesn't care. It just throws them away, leaves their backs to others, has Steve? Jobs' apple is the real apple, the real giant! ”

What is the highest realm of bragging? You obviously use a lot of bad words on each other, but they still feel very comfortable.

“As long as you're in apple, as long as you're in apple, I wouldn't say that at all, but --" Adrian, who's calmed down, stares at Jobs, "what if one day you're gone? ”

“Oh?” Jobs pushed the glasses on the nose beam and didn't say anything.

“We all know about you, don't we?” Adrian was direct, “though that's offensive, I had to consider all the circumstances, didn't I? So let's say, Steve, let's do it again, you announce that you need to leave the apple temporarily for physical reasons, and expect to return in three to six months, and guess how much the apple will fall? I bet at least 10%. ”

He opened his hand and yanked, but Jobs still sat steadily there saying nothing.

“What happens to Apple if you're gone —— retired or something?” Adrian doesn't care, either. Keep going, "I'll tell you, Steve, first of all, the stock will inevitably fall to a certain level, which is inevitable; then Apple will maintain its current momentum, because inertia is huge; then people will start questioning that the opponent will start targeting and Apple will do everything possible to maintain its position and strangle its competitors, like patenting applications for this chamfer or something; finally, if Apple survives and finds a successor who is even half as capable as you are, it will be reborn and, conversely, the giant will collapse. ”

Adrian spread out his hand, and although there was a tail behind him, he was sure Jobs wouldn't have misunderstood what he meant. When he left, almost everyone knew what was going on with Apple, and that was the most convincing part of Adrian's story.

“All you have to do is open source, even part of it, part of it, if you can integrate this market, and if anyone wants to share it, you have to ask our opinion, and Apple has a brighter future,” Adrian looked seriously at Jobs, "Don't tell me about Apple traditions and other things, didn't you make a lot of changes? ”

“I admit that your fears are valid and your portrayal is tempting. Ed," After a long time of thinking. Jobs, with his arm in his arms, finally opened his mouth and saw that he was a little moved, only to say yes, but not what Adrian wanted.

“But I refuse.” He raised his head and said in an unquestionable tone.

“… why?” Adrian settled in full confidence and some looked at Jobs incredibly.

“You said you wouldn't have to worry as long as I was on the apple, right?” Jobs, with his hands crossed in front of him, looked at him calmly. “As for the assumption that I'm not here, if there's ever a day when I'm going to leave a rich legacy to Apple, if they can't stand it in this situation, and they can't support Apple, let's just go down. ”

The eyes behind the glasses sparkle and shine at this moment. He and the one in an animation who would never sit behind a desk and make glasses shine like a commander.

“Did he really say that to you?” Claude couldn't help laughing.

“He really said that to me.” Adrian nodded very helplessly and depressingly, "this was a major setback… ”

He considered the way he spoke, the plot, how to provoke Jobs' emotions, and all the details. But only unexpectedly, this guy would be proud, or insist on his faith. If we can't make it through, then we're closed? That's really powerful. Why don't you just say that you built it from me and you ruined it from me?!

He really wanted to ask, but eventually he did. No more lobbying. Adrian and Jobs have had quite a few dealings, obviously. There are things that will not change once the other person decides.

Too bad. Too bad. Adrian couldn't help but sigh and sigh, for more than a decade he has been accustomed to the fact that every time he lobbies he can achieve results - not to say he is proud, but he prepares himself carefully every time he lobbies anyone, not to mention this time knowing that Jobs can't speak and has been particularly conceived over and over again, without expecting to hit the wall hard, or that there is no room for spinning. Goddamn it, Jobs, that guy, he had a heart attack.

You know, unifying the standard of smartphone operating system is one of the things that he has set for a long time, and one of the most important things he wants to do is suffer this blow, and frustration is inevitable.

“Is a unified smartphone operating system really that important?” Claude asks right now, "I learned a little bit that Nokia doesn't seem to like smartphones very much as the most effective handset manufacturer at the moment. ”

“So they're destined to go downhill.” Adrian waved, “you saw the iPhone, too, Claude. Tell me how it feels. ”

“Well… as an average person, this set of features is very versatile, but not very complex.” Claude thought about it and said so.

“Yes, that's just like the website, the user experience is very important, and the iPhone is doing great,” Adrian nodded, "The more features, the simpler, the better, the more you can solve all the problems with one button, it's better not to design two buttons. Together with the iPhone's system closure, while unsupported software is very unfriendly, it's easier to use from another perspective, as long as third-party software is continuously available on the platform, they can easily download it without having to consider compatibility or other issues. ”

“Then it's understandable that Jobs refused to open source.” Claude shrugged.

“Yes, I understand, but I don't accept, knowing that we could have used it to set standards that affect the industry as a whole!” Adrian waved his fist, "can you imagine how people would have to shoot a movie if they were going to shoot it? ”

“Of course you can. Isn't that what you're doing now?” Claude Haha laughed, then raised his hands in Adrian's white eyes, "Well, I understand your mood as well, Ed, and this is indeed an opportunity, if the smartphone really develops the way you say it does. But it's no big deal to be rejected. We're all familiar with Jobs' style. Besides, google is good. Samsung is fine. We all hold shares, so we won't lose. ”

Having heard that, Adrian had to pick his eyebrows, well, it seemed that he did neglect something, and with Jobs's kind of control * *, would he agree to a demand that he couldn't dominate? And even Claude, judging him, has to be checked over and over, not to mention Steve? Jobs! But it would take years for all of that to be proven. Now it's just speculation, and it's still a slight speculation.

Although Jobs refused out of his own conviction and arrogance. But it's impossible to do that without making an impact.

“Okay, let's change the subject," Adrian waves, “and say something to make me happy. ”

In any case, Jobs has expressly said no, and no matter how unhappy he is, he can only give up, and there is no need to compare. Claude was right. In any case, AC Media will not suffer.

“What do you want to hear? Oh, by the way, the Airbus a380 will complete its global voyage by the end of the year, and will be officially launched next year. Didn't you always care about this model and want a bigger private plane? Wait for the first half of the year or most of the year to place your order.” Claude came up with something to say.

“Assembled in '04. But it took more than two years to complete all the tests, and this efficiency is too much… Let's talk about it later, isn't Boeing developing 747-8?” Adrian shrugged.

“Well, one more thing...” Claude said halfway and stopped, "Forget it, I haven't even figured it out yet. Let's wait for the preliminary results. ”

“No problem, just let me know.” Nor did Adrian ask, and he stood up, "Anyway, I'm going to find someone to comfort my broken heart, and I'll leave it to you. ”

Claude immediately rolled his eyes.

Although the idea of integrating smartphone operating systems has been abandoned. But it's still somewhat depressing, and naturally you need to have some fun. Find some exciting fun, just right now there's one.

“Yes, I know, I... will notice... nothing, you have to... be careful...” Eileen on the couch halfway? Nord Green grabbed the phone and tried to control his tone so that his voice twisted less visibly as his body shivered with the shock coming from behind, and the pleasure of a deep * * inside.

Her clothes were rubbed in chaos, her bra pulled down, a pair of soft exposed outside, one leg resting on the shoulder of the man behind her, and her legs hanging on the calf leg.

“The house is fine... don't worry... hmm...” She finally couldn't help but cover her phone and breathe a few breaths of air as if it would ease the * * fire in her body a little.

Of course, it's only temporary, and when the flame burns again, that's not how it can be contained, but Irene definitely loves it. She turns her head, releases her phone and raises it to her ear, then licks the corner of her mouth with her tongue and throws a glamorous eye at the man behind her.

“Yes, I understand, I will... um... that... I will... ah!” Irene suddenly shouted. At that moment, her eyes became unusually divergent and she almost ignored everything. Fortunately, she finally took control of herself.

“Nothing, Josephine's here, and suddenly it startled me.” Irene said so, taking this opportunity to sigh twice, "Do you want to talk to her? ”

And then she handed her phone to Josephine on her knees in front of the couch, and compared to Irene, she lifted her head up, Josephine, her upper body was completely out of sight, reddish, a little water stain on the corner of her mouth, and when she breathed smoothly, she picked it up: "Hey, Tag, what's up? ”

She said that her hand, which had reached from the bottom of the skirt, had not stopped for a moment, and her eyes did not blink when she looked at the two men who had increased the action in front of her.

“Okay, I get it. That's it. I have work to do.” Two or three sentences to get rid of that Tiger over there? Woods, after hanging up, Josephine put it on.

Eileen also stood up, and the Nord Green twins strangled the men to pie, and Adrian was the only one.

He had no psychological burden, because it was Irene's offer, despite Josephine's lack of clarity, and when Adrian came to her house, those provocations were real. Even the excitement of having a phone conversation with Woods before, she did it on her own.

“You seem to hate him, Irene?” After lifting her from behind, Adrian deliberately asked in her ear.

“Of course I hate him,” Irene gasped without any concern, "sweet words before marriage, just five months after marriage, he started outside... hanging out with other people's women, and more than one! I'm sure, just now... he was in a woman's room, and he spent the night in Las Vegas just for that woman! ”

She turned her head and smiled and snagged Adrian's neck with her arm: "In that case, I can find another man. Josephine admires you, Ed. ”

That is the consequence of not having the corresponding power and countermeasures, but spreading haze everywhere, and that is why Adrian has never given himself a woman's commitment to marriage. However, although the Twin-Fei Nord Green twins are enjoyable and both of their sisters are of fairly good quality, occasional play is enough, after all, neither of them is a fuel-saving light.

Nothing else, but look at Irene? How Nord Green muted Woods out there pretending to be deaf knows what her personality is, not to mention the fact that Adrian has a lot of information on how she came from Sweden to meet Woods. Same thing, Josephine? After hitting him, Nord Green was placed on an internship at a law firm with which he had a cooperative relationship. Shortly after, he became an official assistant relying on Adrian's name and participated in several cases to raise his reputation in the circle, and did just as well, not to offend the firm, but to shrug Adrian's ears and shoulders.
