Chapter 4066: Troublemaker 3 Stars
Jobs came to accompany them personally, which really surprised Ellison and others. <冰火#中文In their minds, it was natural for Jobs to drive them out. Inside Apple, Jobs was called the Great Emperor. What is the Great Emperor? That is the imperial system. Inside Apple, Jobs had the final say. Especially this second time he was invited back to Apple to save Apple from the dire situation, Jobs' status was even higher. The board of directors fully authorized him to have the privilege of arbitrary decision-making.
If Jobs said to drive Lin Feng and others out, then all Apple employees would come out to drive them out, and no one would question it at all. As a result, now Jobs not only did not drive them out, but also took the initiative to accompany them, which was really puzzling.
"Mr. Lin, are you so sure that I won't drive you out?" Jobs asked with a smile while leading Lin Feng and others to visit Apple. In Jobs' view, Lin Feng's boldness to come here was also extremely surprising. If I really want to kick him out, the outside world won't say anything bad about him. So, where does Lin Feng get so much confidence?
Lin Feng laughed.
"10 billion US dollars! Just because you are willing to lend me 10 billion US dollars to get through this difficult time, I am confident that you will not kick me out. After all, I am here to visit privately, to visit the headquarters of Apple, to see what the headquarters of the most creative company in the world looks like!" Lin Feng laughed.
"10 billion US dollars! Steve, you lent him 10 billion!" Ellison shouted in astonishment. This is something he really didn't expect.
"Not only 10 billion US dollars, but Jobs also took the initiative to postpone the press conference. I will remember this friendship!" Lin Feng revealed another secret.
Everyone was shocked. Aren't these two the biggest rivals? They are so, so, so close, which is really unexpected.
"I lent you money not because of friendship, but because I was afraid that there would be no rivals. A world without rivals is very lonely!" Jobs sighed.
Pretend to be cool! You are just pretending to be cool! It's lonely without a rival. It would be better if I didn't have a rival. Then I can develop quietly and make a lot of money by monopolizing. How cool! Lin Feng muttered in his heart.
"Also. I didn't come down to accompany you today for this friendship." Jobs smiled faintly.
Show off! This time, it was Ellison who muttered in his heart. He and Jobs have known each other for a long time. This guy is not the kind of person who craves for a rival. He is definitely not the kind of person who deliberately creates a strong person to show off. This is not Jobs. Jobs is keen on innovating and changing the world, not defeating the strong to prove his greatness. Innovation can also prove his greatness.
So,
It's really pretentious to say this! Of course, no one will reveal this. After all, Jobs can borrow 10 billion from Lin Feng to get through the difficulties. It shows that Jobs still appreciates Lin Feng very much.
Led by Jobs, Lin Feng and his party visited the reception, atrium, office, cubicle, conference room, lounge, entertainment venue, toilet, laboratory, innovation laboratory, restaurant, shop, gym, coffee shop, etc. of the Apple headquarters. This visit really opened Lin Feng's eyes. If you don't know that you are indeed at the Apple headquarters, you really won't think you are in an IT technology company, but you will think you are in an exhibition hall or a concert hall.
And this visit. For Lin Feng, the deepest feeling is the Apple culture. The whole company is full of the Jobs spirit. Jobs's quotations can be seen everywhere in the Apple headquarters, and these words are without exception extremely inspiring words. Each of these words represents the Jobs spirit and the Apple spirit.
Of course, what surprised Lin Feng even more was the proximity to nature. Every employee's office is close to the window. Moreover, the floor-to-ceiling windows have a 180-degree view, and the view is extremely wide. There is green grass outside, which is extremely comfortable. Sitting in front of the computer, you can feel the nature, which is incomparable. Moreover, the space for each employee is extremely **, and at the Apple headquarters. I was surprised to find that there are more entertainment facilities than office areas. There is even a small concert hall in it, where employees can entertain themselves.
Of course, another thing that Lin Feng admires is Apple's laboratories, such as the wireless transmission laboratory. A space covering more than 1,000 square meters is specially used to test wireless transmission, and there are several other laboratories of varying sizes. It can be said that at the Apple headquarters, the real office area only occupies a very small part, and the rest are mostly entertainment facilities or various laboratories.
In comparison, although Lin Feng's "Century Light" is already the most open company headquarters in China, it is still a few points behind "Apple". The only comparable one is the restaurant. In terms of the restaurant, it is comparable to "Apple", and even a few points ahead.
Jobs took Lin Feng and his group to visit each floor, introducing its related uses one by one. Although he didn't say much, he spoke to the key points, which made Lin Feng have a deep understanding of these functional areas. Just as he was walking through the office area, Lin Feng accidentally found Cook in the reception room. To Lin Feng's surprise, Cook was meeting with an Asian man, who seemed to be trying to persuade Cook, but Cook was unmoved. Who is this Asian man?
"Boss, this is Lee Kun-hee, the president of Samsung Mobile!" Lin Chiling recognized the man and whispered in Lin Feng's ear.
Lee Kun-hee! Why is he here? And he happened to be seen by me. Did Jobs do it intentionally or unintentionally? Lin Feng's pupils shrank, and he suddenly realized that it seemed that Jobs did not drive him out today, not for any friendship, but for him to see Lee Kun-hee. But why is this? Lee Kun-hee is the president of Samsung Mobile, and it is absolutely impossible for Apple to unite with Samsung. Although Samsung is an important supplier of parts for Apple, why did he let himself see it? This is very strange.
Jobs noticed Lin Feng's expression, and his smile became even wider, and he led Lin Feng into his office.
"Steve, I'm hungry and very interested in your restaurant, so I'll go over first. By the way, are you hungry?" Ellison looked at Lin Chiling and the other two girls. According to the current situation, it is obvious that Jobs has something to talk to Lin Feng, and it should be very confidential. In this case, it should not be appropriate for him and Lin Chiling to be present. So Ellison left with an excuse.
"Well, we're hungry too, let's go together!" The three girls nodded together.
When the four of them left, only Lin Feng and Jobs were left in the room.
Let's be frank!
"Jobs, I think you meant for me to see Lee Kun-hee here!" Lin Feng looked at Jobs and said.
Jobs smiled and nodded.
"I did let you see him on purpose, and I can tell you why he came. He asked me to buy the 'Android' system!" Jobs said, "and I intend to sell it to him."
Selling the 'Android system' to Samsung! Lin Feng frowned. In the era when Lin Feng was reborn, 'Android' was under 'Google', and when '' changed the world, 'Google' also launched the 'Android system'. All major mobile phone manufacturers in the world, except Nokia, which adhered to its outdated Symbian system, all entered the embrace of the 'Android system', especially Samsung. And Samsung also relied on the 'Android system' as the core and took the copycat as the blueprint, and eventually surpassed 'Nokia' to become the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer.
In this world today, Android was acquired by Jobs and entered the ranks of Apple, but is now hidden. Lin Feng believes that the future will be his and Apple's world. Now Apple is going to sell Android to Samsung. Isn't this creating an opponent for itself? Although Lin Feng doesn't think much of Samsung, he must admit that Samsung's copycat ability is too strong, coupled with Samsung's own processing line, it will bring a lot of trouble. Is this necessary?
"Mr. Lin, it seems that you don't want this to happen, and I understand why you don't want it. But at present, Nokia is still the king of mobile phone manufacturers. If we want to drive Nokia down from the king, we need at least three to five years. And this time is too long, I hope it will be shorter!" Jobs' face showed a trace of haze, "I hope to make smart phones popular faster, one year, I hope that within one year, smart phones will replace feature phones, within two years, feature phones will almost disappear, and within three years, there will only be smart phones on the market. And this can't be done by just you and me. But if Samsung is added, it will be fine."
Lin Feng frowned.
"But aren't you afraid that we will drive Nokia out of power and Samsung will take its place? Both of us are manufactured by Foxconn, and we should have a clear idea of our respective production capacity. There is a share of 1 billion units in this mobile phone market, and we can't take up many. Our high-quality route is destined to make the purchasing group all mid-to-high-end customers, while Samsung's industrial chain has three markets covering low, medium and high, and it has been making mobile phones for longer than us. If we open up this market and Samsung benefits in the end, don't you think this is ridiculous!" Lin Feng said in confusion.
"Haha, who said Samsung will benefit. I just need Samsung to completely open up this market, but in the end, only we will benefit. And only with competitors can consumers know our excellence." Jobs said confidently.
Lin Feng looked puzzled. How is this possible? Unless——!
But if that happens, Samsung will be really unlucky. However, why did Jobs tell him? Jobs could do all this alone without letting himself know. But he told himself, this is too strange!
