In his previous life, since Jobs' death, Apple's creativity has been dim and disappointed all Apple fans. This is probably the biggest reason why most people in the world complain that Cook is not as good as Jobs.

Cook is indeed in an embarrassing situation when it comes to innovation.

However, Andy does not think that Apple lacks innovation, it is really to blame Cook. Assuming that Jobs is still there, does Apple still have the ability to subvert Xing’s innovation?

This is probably not the case.

After all, Cook was the successor chosen by Jobs himself. Boss Qiao knew very well until what Cook was best at, data and operations. He knew very well that Cook was not a visionary or innovator at all.

As Andy has more and more companies, there are only more and more aspects of corporate management that need to be understood. From his current perspective, he looks at Apple, especially when he is at a higher position than everyone else, he can really clearly see the difficulties and troubles facing Apple.

To put it bluntly, regardless of whether Jobs is in trouble or not, in the case of supply chain restrictions and fierce competition in Android systems, Apple's development strategy from disruptive innovation as its core competitiveness to operation as its core competitiveness is inevitable.

Because, the growth of a truly excellent company depends on the management system formed over time, and the beginning of the decline is also due to the improvement of good operational capabilities.

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

As an existence that can "foresee the future", Andy can indeed not take anyone seriously. However, Andy is not the kind of conceited stupidity. He knows that he cannot rely on that little capital to be awesome for the rest of his life. After all, the "plug-in time" is limited.

Andy also has to admit that Apple is a great company!

Apple was the first to perfectly combine an obsessive industrial product concept with an ultimate industrial system within the visible range of human beings, and reached its peak.

Andy joined Apple to understand and learn the entire system category from the inside, which includes supply chain management concepts, organizational structure concepts, talent concepts, etc.

From this point of view, Apple is undoubtedly the king, even if it is just the king of this era.

Therefore, in the next few days, Andy used his identity as a member of the board of directors to review the minutes of Apple's board of directors and company meetings, as well as some internal information, in order to learn and absorb some management experience from it.

Not to mention, Andy really figured out Cook's so-called supply chain management system that no one in the world can match, and he also truly realized that the real cruel man was not Jobs, but Tim Cook, who was the real cold-blooded capitalist in textbooks.

In the minutes of the internal meeting of Apple, it showed that not disclosing supply chains is its long-term policy.

On the one hand, Apple itself does not manufacture electronic equipment and does not participate in the management and operation of manufacturing factories. On the other hand, it is because behind Apple's glamorous sales data is the result of tens of thousands of workers from electronic equipment manufacturers working day and night to ensure that the product line is completed on time.

Although many problems in the electronic equipment supply chain are not just Apple's business, but are timely and the drawbacks of the traditional manufacturing process itself.

However, Apple's supply chain has almost always been under the control of Cook. Cook's work style has always been to put pressure on the team, and the team gives pressure to suppliers, and suppliers put pressure on workers.

Jobs and Cook did not know what happened to the workers at the lowest end of the supply chain, but they didn't care about anything else. They had nothing to do with Apple's interests unless it affected Apple itself.

In those materials, it was clearly recorded that Cook said at a meeting that it should be as strict as possible without ethics.

Once, when I got the production schedule, Cook once said, why don’t you work on Sunday?

"hehe……"

Andy, who was sitting in the office of the general manager of the Mockingbird Games Company, closed the documents in his hand, shook his head and chuckled, picked up the coffee cup next to the desk, and slowly started drinking.

Andy did not mean to mock or despise Apple or Cook, but was happy to find out about Apple's supply chain management system. After all, he was also preparing to cut the cake of mobile phones and eat a piece.

Since you don’t understand some things, you have to read more and think more. It is not a false statement that you can polish jade from other mountains.

"Dongdong"

"Boss, Mr. Vitre, is already online..." The little assistant wearing a pretty and fresh exquisite contrasting flower shirt and a slim and elegant fishtail skirt walked in with a pair of seven-quarter black high heels. The flowing skirt showed the gracefulness of the curve, and the slender and slender white t showed it to the fullest.

"Well, I get it." Andy put down the coffee cup, shook his mouse, and looked up at the little assistant standing opposite him with a charming smile. "When Lulana comes back from London Fashion Week, you and her will go to Miami or Malibu to choose their favorite beach villa."

"I gave it to me?" the little assistant opened his beautiful eyes wide and asked in surprise uncertainty.

Andy gave her annoyed look, "What do you think!"

"Great! Heck..."

Thumb

"Pok~"

"Thank you, boss."

Tory Black leaned over and printed a bright mark on Andy's cheek, his pretty face turned slightly red, and he was so happy.

"Money-lovers! Okay, go out."

"Bang!

The little assistant twisted his slender waist with charming eyes and walked out of the office slowly, as if worried that the great devil would not see it carefully, and intentionally increased the swing.

When the office door was closed, Andy withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but shake his head and laughed. He clicked on the video icon with his mouse. After the pop-up window, the black screen quickly brightened. The live-time picture of the full New York Gaia Company meeting room appeared in the video.

“It’s time to start.”

Andy nodded to the people opposite with a calm expression and said lightly.

"…The New York stock market suffered a sharp drop yesterday on March 2, with the Dow falling below the 6,800 point mark for the first time since April 1997, and the S&P 500 approaching the 700 point mark.

In the past week, the income from shorting stock index futures has reached 230 million...

The sharp turmoil in the US financial and commodity markets also added negative factors to the decline in gold. Gold futures prices fell for the sixth consecutive day...

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

At the same time, the bank released its 2008 performance report. Last year, the bank's pre-tax profit was US$9.3 billion, a sharp drop of 60% from the previous year. After the opening, the bank's share price plummeted by 18%. Affected by this, Standard Chartered Bank, the UK Rice Bank Group, Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland also suffered a decline of between 2% and 15%.

Just now, the London stock market fell to its lowest point in six years, and the Financial Times' 100 stock average price index fell by more than 200 points from the previous trading day, a drop of as much as 5%.

As a result of this, the other two major European stock indexes have also suffered varying degrees of decline. News in Europe has severely hit investors' confidence in the global financial market and is worried that the market will deteriorate day by day. Affected by this, US stocks will continue to fall after the opening..."

"Tsk tsk..."

When Andy heard the various data reported by his subordinates, he was of course most concerned about how much money he made. Since the UK has lifted the short-selling order for financial stocks, the London branch's record was amazing, with a profit of 160 million pounds, leading all investment groups under Andy, and even exceeding the 230 million meter of US headquarters.

To be honest, although money is just a bunch of numbers for Andy now, making money is always something that makes people extremely happy.

However, Andy also knew that the good days of the financial crisis were basically over, and it was time to stop and prepare to launch the 'Savior Plan'!

"Taking March 5th two days later as the node, all our short funds will be recovered! That's right, all clearance will be made! Don't leave any funds at all, prepare the funds, wait for my order, and I'm ready to start buying the entire United States!"

In the conference room of Gaia Company in New York, except for Alvetre and Badstone who knew the plan, everyone else looked at the big boss who was joking with a bright look and serious expression on the big screen.
Chapter completed!
