Page looked at Feng Yiping. This time he chose to believe his intuition. His intuition told him that this question seemed to be what Feng Yiping wanted to ask the most today.

He didn't quite understand. What is Feng Yiping's current topic now? He and Apple have no competition at all.

Jobs was also a little puzzled, why?

With his unyielding and arrogance, he had to admit that Feng Yiping's ideas were geniuses in the development of Internet products.

But at present, his main business in the United States is very clear, with two aspects: one is social networking, including nextdoor and Facebook; the other is the content industry, represented by Netflix, youtube, and the newly acquired Marvel.

These two aspects have no intersection with Apple's current main business.

Even Marvel and his own Pixar belong to the film company, but Pixar's direction is animated movies, and Marvel's main direction is definitely a science fiction movie, and this is not a conflict.

So, what does he mean?

"Feng, you should now know that Silicon Valley should be the most open technology and enterprise circle in the world. We will compete, but we will also cooperate,"

"It's hard to change the world, and it's hard to run a project that can change the world independently, as far as Apple is concerned, we want to work with Google and nextdoor,"

He paused, "In this regard, I think, at the latest next year, we will have specific plans,"

Feng Yiping understood that this is also talking about the iPhone currently being developed.

"But Feng, I still don't quite understand. What aspects will we compete in the future?"

If ordinary people say this, they just pretend that they didn't hear it, because it is not a random company that is qualified to compete with Apple.

And because it is just a company that is not casual, Apple, led by itself, is not afraid to compete with them.

But what he said was Feng Yiping, whom he had to admire in some aspects.

Not to mention his own products, just to mention the improvement and implementation of itunes          Feng Yiping played a very constructive role.

Judging from his personality, he is not a targetless person either.

"This is also some of my feelings," said Feng Yiping. "I have always chosen some projects that are not too popular from the perspective and concept of mainstream perspectives and concepts, so as to avoid competition with friendly companies."

"But, from my experience in China, when the scale of a company reaches a certain level, whether you want to or not, competition with other companies is inevitable,"

"This is mainly because, from an objective law, in a certain period, there are always only a few most popular industries. If you don't get involved, then the development of your company will definitely stagnate."

"And now, this big environment is an environment where you will retreat if you don't advance. If you don't keep up, you may not be able to keep up step by step later."

"Although we are at the moment, I think we will encounter similar situations in the future. In fact, it doesn't take a word about the future, just now, in the online advertising field, we have actually had conflicts with Google,"

Jobs looked at the two of them. Although there was a conflict, it seemed that you had a tacit understanding.

"I can take the project mentioned by Page just now. Google needs to develop its own online payment tool. I think it would be good if nextdoor can have such a product, because I think for us, a product that can be related to finance will mean another blue ocean."

"So, will Apple make efforts in this area in the future? This tool can be used in Apple's online stores and itunes\store,"

Jobs shook his head, "We don't have this plan now,"

That's because you are developing a cross-age product now, so you don't like these businesses, but will you still have this attitude when your product innovation is weak in the future?

"Let me talk about my proposal just now. I think that with the advancement of technology, itunes\store will launch other film and television works in addition to music. This is definitely a necessity, and it will inevitably compete with Netflix and youtube."

"Netflix is ​​already developing our own TV set-top box, and I think this is an inevitable step in the development of itunes\store. At that time, competition was also inevitable,"

Jobs looked at Page and smiled, "Feng has made a great strategic plan for our itunes\store."

There is nothing to reveal about this information. When the technology develops to a certain extent, even if Feng Yiping doesn't say this, Apple knows how to continue to develop itunes\store.

Feng Yiping has said this now, but once again it shows that he not only sees far, but also sees it accurately.

"Also, we all know that Apple has the ability to produce hardware. So, one day in the future, Steve, will you feel that you are not satisfied with all the cars on the market, so you design one yourself to compete with our Tesla?"

Jobs smiled and waved his hand, "Haha, I never thought about this before,"

"Also, in the future, will Google think that Apple's computer prices are too high, which is not conducive to the development of its own business, and is also trying to compete with Apple?"

"Of course, I know you must have never thought about Peppa, but who can tell the future exactly?"

"After saying this, it feels like in the future, it will be a very rare thing for the three of us to get together like this," Page also smiled.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, right," said Feng Yiping.

He knew very well about this, but this was something that would definitely happen.

Senior Apple fans should have all impressions. On January 9, Western Time, in 2007, when Jobs released his iPhone, the first guest to invite him to the platform was Google's Schmidt.

Schmidt was joking at the time that if the two companies merged, the name would have been Apple Valley.

At that time, the two of them were so close, but soon, their relationship took a sharp turn. Schmidt was "invited" from the Apple board of directors. Apple and Google also instantly changed from brothers to enemies because of the launch of Android. Jobs even shouted that he would spend all his last penny and defeat Android...

Now, Android is its own company. Feng Yiping can imagine that after the release of iPhone in 2007 and after Rubin made achievements, it was the end of his honeymoon with Apple and Jobs.

At that time, it was probably as Peppa said, and it would be unrealistic for the three parties to sit together like today.

If such a scene really occurs, how can we say it? Feng Yiping thinks it will be a pity. This is the main purpose of his talk about these things today. It is mainly to give Jobs a good vaccination. The competition between us is inevitable.

"I agree with Jobs, you said, it is difficult to change the world, so we should cooperate more, but what I also want to say is that, in many cases, it is difficult to change ourselves. Competition from friends is the best way to promote our progress and change,"

"So, no matter Steve, you will be in the content field, in the TV set-top box market, in the automotive field... and in the competition with us, I will always regard you and Apple as my good friends and close partners,"

"It is difficult for a person to meet a few good friends and close friends in his life. For us, Steve, like me, you should have never been worried about money since you were twenty years old,"

"Okay, Page is a little late," Page was born in 1973. He didn't have to worry about money after he was 30 years old.

"We all have a common goal, which is to bring some positive changes to the world, so I really don't want it because some competition in this process will affect our relationship..."

These words have some emotional considerations, and of course they have a lot to do with business.

Not to mention anything else, if you break up with Jobs, many of the orders in the Gorilla Glass business will definitely be ruined.

"It seems that the consequences are serious," Jobs smiled relaxedly. "Look at our relationship with Microsoft, look at my relationship with Gates, and you will understand that your concerns are redundant,"

Redundant? Not redundant.

Although you are showing up with Gates in public now, and you are also good at talking and laughing, I believe it even if you fight in private.

"From our current layout, I think the three of us still have more opportunities to cooperate. Of course, I don't think it's ruled out that the situation that Feng Yiping said. In the future, I don't know, and I can't guarantee it."

"But I have a little bit of confidence. I believe that with our wisdom, as long as we can calm down and communicate seriously, we should still find the perfect solution to the problem," he said.

Jobs smiled again, "You said calm down, mainly referring to me."

It seems that he does not know his bad temper.

“I have a lot of times, and I’m very impatient,” Page said.

"You don't need it," they both said to Feng Yiping, who was about to speak.

"I haven't seen him get angry yet, where are you?" Jobs asked.

"I think about it," Paige thought seriously, "not either,"

"If there really is such a day, I hope we can control each other together, okay Feng, do you have anything to say about this?" Jobs asked.

He is not smiling now.

Feng Yiping shook his head.

Although he is still not optimistic about what will happen then, it is already commendable to get the statements of the two of them, especially Jobs.

If you continue, Page is fine, and Jobs will definitely be impatient.

Such a job cannot be achieved overnight. I hope that in the next time, I can do this prevention work more perfectly.

Although he knew the difficulty of this work, for example, it would be difficult for you to change some of Jobs' ideas, no matter what, since it is foreseeable that conflicts will inevitably occur in the future, it will naturally be able to weaken one point, and you will always get better.

It is not said that enemies should be resolved rather than formed, and it is better not to have any intersection, but since the relationship with Jobs is pretty good, Feng Yiping was really reluctant. In the last few years of Jobs, this is probably something that cannot be changed. Everyone's relationship is so bad that it is impossible to add up.

And this kind of prevention work is the best time to start doing this year.

At this time next year, or later, because Jobs will be able to disclose the iPhone project to relevant people by collaborating with telecom companies, high-tech companies such as Google and Yahoo, and this time, it should also include its own nextdoor to provide users with a better user experience and integrate applications that users usually cannot do without on their mobile phones. By then, Jobs will definitely disclose the iPhone project to relevant people and others.

If you do this work at that time, it will seem that it is too utilitarian and has a strong utilitarianism. If you do this today, you will naturally not be much convincing.

Page glanced at Feng Yiping, "If we could merge, what a powerful force would it be!"

Jobs was stunned and laughed, "Hahaha, I don't dare to think about such a scene,"

"But Feng, there is one thing I want to do now, which can be considered as a relief for you. Is your Tesla welcome new investors?"

"Ah?" Are you going to join?

"You are right, the automotive industry is really very dissatisfied with me now. Although your Tesla is still in the R&D period, from your ideas, I think it will be a good project, so I like it,"

"I can't guarantee that I can convince Apple to invest, but I personally want to be an investor in Tesla. How about it, do you welcome it?"

"Of course, of course we welcome," said Feng Yiping.

One thing is certain. As long as the connection is closer now, no matter what kind of conflicts you face in the future, it will at least not be more ugly.

"Do you think some of the investors before Tesla welcome my personal investment?"

He also said that you have a good relationship with Gates? You, the so-called "some investors" must refer specifically to Gates.

Alas, it seems that the task of "prevention" is still a long way to go!
