It's right to be smart, but it's not God.

Ye Dongqing's energy is limited, which determines that he cannot take every decision in the company personally, manages directly under his command, and holds stakes in dozens of companies, and controls them through Tamsui Investment Group and hedge fund departments respectively.

Fortunately, there are some professional managers in every company to help, and some founders or shareholders are also supervising. In this way, they only need to take the time to give suggestions on development strategies as they are now. If you want the iPhone to develop from the beginning, you must first cultivate the market through this iTouch, cultivate users who are used to IOS operating systems and use wireless network devices to connect to the Internet. His suggestions are not wrong. Jobs and Mr. Cook agree with this view.

After all, the 3G mobile data transmission network has just begun to be built, and even California has not yet fully covered. It is better to rely on the mature wireless network than to rely on it. The cost of expenses must also be considered. The current 3G traffic fee is not ordinary expensive. Because the infrastructure construction cost is too high, the communication operators have joined forces to set a high price.

This is understandable. No one forced anyone to buy it with a gun. Those telecom operators have already spent a lot of money to invest real money. They are all private enterprises. They can't expect them to do charity. If they can't make money, who will work hard to invest a lot of money in research and development and construction?

It’s not just to tinker with things in the R&D laboratory, but the market environment must also be considered.

If you use iTouch, which is responsible for cultivating customer groups, to influence a group of users who like to try it out, it will definitely be easier to promote it when the new product they pay most attention to is about to be launched in the next one or two years. Ye Dongqing is now suggesting that Jobs and interim CEO Mr. Tim Cook pay more attention to this aspect and do a good job in the early stage of work.

As for whether others will pick peaches... there will definitely be companies that benefit, but with Apple's current patent library and its favorable advantages in equipment research and development, the gap with other potential competitors will definitely be more than one and a half years, because unless Microsoft makes up its mind to spend money on the market, it will almost never find any competitors in the operating system field in the short term.

As for Microsoft, Ye Dongqing has not heard of any research and development projects related to smart terminal operating systems, nor has he heard of the familiar name - Android.

Perhaps it may be because of the name change, but it is more likely that with Ye Dongqing's arrival, the founders of Android in their previous life have not developed this program in their lifetime. When they have time, they can ask someone to investigate. The industry he is most concerned about at present is smart phones. Nokia's semi-fool and useless product Saipan, which is bound to be eliminated, is not qualified to block the way.

Time flies very quickly when drinking tea and chatting.

After a simple exchange and unifying the next development ideas, Jobs talked about a small company that he had just founded. He asked Ye Dongqing: "Has someone asked you to invest recently? A company called Blood Hope seems to be developing a rapid paper test product to identify diseases through blood tests. I heard that some progress has been made.

My neighbor Larry Ellison is very interested in this startup. I mentioned this to me at a party a few days ago. Now many companies are starting to show interest, maybe you can try it too."

Because he knew that Ye Dongqing had money and had set up a hedge fund company, Jobs casually mentioned that if he hadn't had a good relationship, he wouldn't bother to care about such idiots.

Quickly screening for various diseases through blood paper measurement. If this technology is really available, the market value can easily exceed 10 billion US dollars. Although the research and development costs of American pharmaceutical companies are huge, it is not difficult to get back the money with long-term patent protection. As long as you can develop a best-selling product and raise the price, it is enough. For example, Viagra, which made the global sales of the accident, is astonishingly high.

However, the birth of "Viagra" is only an exception. Some pharmaceutical companies make money, but more of them go bankrupt with the failure of research and development. New drug projects are either successful or failed, and there is no third way to go.

Ye Dongqing almost sprayed out the water after hearing this.

If he hadn't known Jobs' personality, he would have thought that Elizabeth Holmes, the weird woman, had already pulled Jobs into the water and tricked him.

In Silicon Valley where venture capital and wealthy people gather, it has to be said that the woman's little plan is quarrel, and she is the guy who has only a few understandings and still has money in her hands.

On the night of the other day, if Ye Dongqing opened the door, he might have a "small story" with Holmes. Unfortunately, the crazy woman was not his favourite at all. The two of the Hilton family were already crazy enough, but compared to Elizabeth Holmes, they were still a witch. At least they did not joke about other people's lives, and it was the lives of the patients. It was like delaying the treatment of the patients, which was like killing people indirectly.

I felt a little regretful, but if the same situation appeared in front of Ye Dongqing again, Ye Dongqing would not have hooked up with her unless the two were wandering on a deserted island and she was the opposite sex beside her, then you could consider it.

When Jobs saw Ye Dongqing being stunned, he was a little curious and added: "What are you thinking?"

"It's okay, that woman is a liar, there is no product she mentioned. The experimental data are all obtained through fraud. Whoever wants to invest, whoever wants to invest, I won't invest anyway. I know you have a good relationship with Mr. Ellison, so I advise him to give up. I have been in contact with that woman named Elizabeth Holmes twice, and I am simply crazy."

"That's it..." Jobs nodded and said, "I'll call him later and tell him your words. Although I have money, I can't waste it everywhere. Judging from my understanding of Larry, if I'm cheated, he will get angry, that guy is more arrogant."

It is only in this kind of occasion that in fact, these two guys with the same bad temper really caught a close eye. When Jobs was not sick, he often made an appointment with each other to go out for a run together.

Mr. Cook, who heard them speak at this moment, said: "Silicon Valley has always been like this. Many good projects have been buried. People who are really focused on doing things are not paid attention to. Instead, some projects with highlights and no future are more likely to be paid attention to by investors. In the end, the founder gave himself a large bonus and cheated the money into his pocket. After immediately announcing the project failed and instead continued to create new projects.

There are many people doing this kind of thing, with almost no cost, but very high profits. Not long after the Internet bubble crisis ended, I think the market is overheating again. There is no problem with listed companies, mainly because of the many problems of small and medium-sized startups. More than half a month ago, I went to a meeting and everyone said that their company is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. When I started talking, I almost couldn't help laughing. A guy actually created a house that specializes in selling hot dogs online. Is there no hot dog stall on the street?"

"Who makes the profits of venture capital amazing? Everyone wants to meet the next Microsoft, Oracle, or my Facebook, Amazon, and hundreds of times more profits are enough to make people take risks."

I was just chatting and had nothing to do. I had already made an appointment to go for dinner together later.

Ye Dongqing specializes in these things, so he naturally knows how big the profit is. Such a high profit is enough to blind some people and make them ignore the risks in the investment process.

He is different. He has experience. Compared to small companies that have just started, he is more willing to invest in listed companies that have achieved some achievements, although the price-to-earnings ratio is high, and the development potential is also great. Since he discovered that he is familiar with small things and has gone on a strange trajectory, Ye Dongqing dared not invest entirely based on the list in his mind. It is necessary to make sufficient analysis.

Sometimes I feel complacent because people actually invest according to the current industry of Tamsui Investment Group, and they will be able to eat and drink in their entire lives. But they can see many people rushing into the quagmire. This kind of downward view that stands without a headache makes Ye Dongqing feel very interesting...

Since you are here in Silicon Valley, there is no reason not to make more new friends.

The next morning.

After Ye Dongqing woke up naturally, she called Jobs and asked him to take Mr. Ellison and Mr. Gates to play tennis together.

A group of rich people can always squeeze out their leisure time and occasionally make appointments to gather, which is why he takes the initiative to get closer to the small circle.

The relationship between these three people is quite complicated. There is a competitive relationship and a little sympathy. On the way, Ye Dongqing asked something from Mr. Jobs, saying that his relationship with Gates was not as bad as people imagined. Some conflicts arose because of the competition for the market, and he kept in touch in private.

Speaking of which, Jobs and Gates are no longer at the same level. Judging from the current situation, this is true. Gates' personal wealth and achievements have overwhelmed him in all aspects, and even his reputation is the same. Speaking of the 1980s, he was obviously a little sad. At that time, he was much richer than Gates.

There was no despair. With the emergence of Ye Dongqing, Apple is currently developing a "secret weapon". When the middle-aged man who had just recovered from a serious illness in the car asked Ye Dongqing jokingly that he must let Apple surpass Microsoft in the future.

What could Ye Dongqing say? In his opinion, this was inevitable. He laughed casually and fooled him, took out his newly bought tennis racket and unpacked it.

Tennis is not less popular in the United States than golf. It is hard to say whether the latter can be called exercise. There is no strenuous exercise throughout the whole process. Unless the weather is too hot, you will hardly sweat.

Tennis is different. Ye Dongqing occasionally asks the bodyguards to accompany him to practice. His skills are quite good, and his physical strength is definitely up to date.

It was more than half an hour after reaching the beautiful tennis court. He saw the mountains, lakes and thick trees in the distance. Instead, he wanted to play basketball, but wanted to have some barbecue, lie down and bask in the sun.

When I saw the luxurious building, I was full of resentment. Why did Larry Ellison build a luxury house without anyone scolding me? When I came here, I became "the soul was corrupted by money"?
