Chapter 342 Jobs and the bait thrown out

No. 1 Infinity Loop Road, Cupertino, Silicon Valley, California, is Apple's headquarters. This is an Apple technology park. The green space surrounds the building and the park is designed similar to a university. The main body of the administrative building is really not very good, and even the county-level government building in Rabbit Country is not as good as that of the country.

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

"Is there anything wrong?" Jobs asked, looking up from various documents at Cook who had already sat opposite him.

"I just received an appointment. Andy Smith wanted to see you, saying that he had a business to discuss with you in person." Cook nodded slightly and told Boss Qiao about the matter.

"Andy Smith, I actually want to meet the major shareholder of our company's circulating shares. He has been under a lot of pressure recently. I really didn't expect that he would recommend Crazy Mobile Phones so much..." As he said that, a smile appeared on his face that was unexplained.

Cook also shook his head and smiled bitterly. To be honest, he has no confidence in Ai Chuang mobile phones. Although the press conference was well tampered with, the first version of Ai Chuang 1 only supports 2G network connections provided by AT&T, and is easy to lose packets and disconnect. The key is that the Internet speed is like a turtle, which is comparable to the torture of dial-up Internet access back then.

Especially recently, when the board of directors has just passed the resolution, Boss Qiao has offered an intoxicating price. The prices of US$499 and US$599 are simply intoxicating, which is as much as 2-3 times the price of other products.

Cook is from a product design and is quite satisfied with the design of Ai Ceng mobile phones. Even if there is only one button on the front of the entire machine!!! This completely violates the popular multi-key design of mobile phones at that time. The huge body completely conflicts with the concept of digital products pursuing lightness at that time.

But he is also confident that the people will fall in love with the appearance of this phone. It’s just that the mobile phone is not good. Content is the king. There is no APP for users to use. Could it be that if you buy it at such a high price, just make a phone call and listen to music?

Jobs also knew these difficulties, but he was as paranoid as he was, and would not accept failure. Even if this phone was really a failure, he would have to endure it. Just like the hard-core front-line with Microsoft.

He came back to Apple as a savior, how could he fail?

"Look at these newspapers today... Andy Smith has become a little brat in their eyes. Are these people the little brat they say that they can make money that they can't make in their lifetimes within a few months? They are all a group of idiots!"

Jobs grabbed the newspaper at his hand and raised it in the air. His thin face, his glasses were shining, and his face was sarcastic. He had been attacked by the media for a long time and knew the faces of these media. Well, who made the stains on his body too unpopular?

"Notify the other party and invite Andy Smith to visit Apple Industrial Park in my name. Since outsiders all advocate Ai Crazy Mobile so much, as we, we can no longer pretend to turn a blind eye. Microsoft and Nokia have already had enough ridicule during this period. The second-generation mobile phone must make samples as soon as possible, and some problems of Ai Crazy 1 must be solved as soon as possible. Especially with the black background, the problem of being unable to change wallpapers, there is no horizontal keyboard problem, and chasing the main network speed problem, 3G is the key..."

Cook left Jobs' office with a wry smile. Just now, Boss Qiao was a question and answer that outsiders could not interfere. Alas, it was a CEO who was a young man under such a strong man and was so outrageous to control Yu and had to ask about everything. It was really depressing.

Jobs in the office looked at his increasingly thin image in the mirror, with unwillingness and determination flashing in his eyes. He himself knew very well what his body was like. No matter how much money he spent, it would only allow himself to survive for a longer period of time. In a limited time, he always had to leave a rich mark in the world, which would amazed, worship or sigh, even if he had the capital that could be preserved in the history of science and technology a long time ago.

The breeze blew, flipping the newspaper on the table, making a rustling sound, looking at the handsome young photo of Andy Smith, whispering: "What an interesting little guy..."

Underneath Andy's cold photos in the newspaper is a line of titles "Did money crash into Andy Smith's brain and make him a nonsense clown?"

"The real era of smartphones has arrived, and the death knell of traditional pseudo-smartphones has been ringed! - Andy Smith"

San Francisco Mockingbirds Games Company Conference Room.

Andy smiled with a sunny smile on her face, looking at the representatives of the three banks opposite and the teams brought by each behind her, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was very strange.

In particular, the representative of Bank of America was Lewis, the former credit account manager who Andy had dealt with when he first made a loan. He has now been promoted to a major account manager and is looking at Andy with a hint of resentment, and is full of vigilance and hostility towards the representatives of the other two banks around him.

Well, this one is related to a loan of $500 million to $800 million. Looking at the asset evaluation in your hand, it’s so tempting. This game company is simply a hen that lays golden eggs!

The other two banks also had a greedy light in their eyes. How could they be unhappy and excited when the speculators on Wall Street could not do what they had the opportunity to enjoy the dividends of the rapid development of this game company in advance?

"Everyone has already read the information in hand. This is the financial situation that our game company can announce to the public. Although it is not very detailed, I think it is enough for everyone to make a judgment. Our boss does not want to waste too much time on the negotiating table. So next, please write down the amount and interest rate of your bank. We will choose one of them as a partner. There is only one opportunity. If you can't meet our requirements, then I'm sorry, we will renegotiate with other banks..."

Alvetre sat in the middle with a calm smile on his face, looking at the three bank representatives opposite who had changed color, and said the request without caring. After the words fell, the three bank representatives fell into the face. When they looked at each other, they all saw helplessness, unwillingness 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. No one was a fool, and they had experienced this negotiation method.

Companies that do this and give banks eye medication are basically in the buyer's market. Banks do not have many choices unless they don't want to do this business. If they want to win the business, they have to compete with each other at a price. This is a conspiracy!

Discomfort? Feeling cowardly? OK, you can quit. The other two companies are eager to lose one opponent!

"Three, what I want to tell three is that this business is just the beginning. I am still young and have great ambitions. There are many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I am very nostalgic and like to cooperate with old friends. I think Mr. Lewis, the representative of Bank of America, should know the best. Therefore, I am looking forward to a long-term partner among the three..."

Andy sat next to Alvetre, with his lips slightly raised and said something that made everyone look weird. The three bank representatives on the opposite side were even more amused and crying. What a big bait, are they biting, or biting!
