In Silicon Valley, Gang Leader Qiao, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago, is still dressed in a sweater and jeans today, but his previous iconic long hair has disappeared and turned into short hair and a beard with some white hair. .
Even Chen Yi couldn't help but lament that time makes people grow old when he saw the image of Gang Leader Qiao changing.
After today's meditation, Gang Leader Qiao was in a very happy mood, but then a piece of news that Cook reported to him ruined his mood, and he immediately started spitting out the fragrance.
"What exactly did Sun Zhengyi and Kira talk about?
you do not know?
Those board of directors shit, I really don’t know what kind of gift their mother was to having him come into this world!
Can't these morons who have lowered the average level of human IQ bring me some useful information? ! "
Cook opposite him looked at Gang Leader Qiao with an embarrassed look on his face, not knowing how to reply to this.
In the eyes of all Apple employees, Gang Leader Qiao may not be as exaggerated as God, but there is no doubt that Apple without Gang Leader Qiao would have achieved nothing at all. It was Gang Leader Qiao who made Apple, not Apple who made Gang Leader Qiao.
It was Gang Leader Qiao who brought Apple to its first peak, but Gang Leader Qiao may have been a bit naive at that time. After encountering setbacks, the board of directors kicked Gang Leader Qiao out. At this time, he finally tasted the beatings he suffered from society. What a taste.
It seems that after leaving Apple, Gang Leader Qiao became more mature and founded an animation studio, Pixar. In the end, it was acquired by Disney for $7.4 billion. Gang Leader Qiao made far more money at Pixar than he did at Apple. Lots of money.
On the other hand, although Apple's performance has rebounded slightly after leaving Gang Leader Qiao, it has never been able to return to the peak when Gang Leader Qiao was there. In the end, it was on the verge of being acquired, so Apple invited Gang Leader Qiao back.
Maybe it was feelings or something else, Gang Leader Qiao agreed and directly used the contacts he had accumulated in the Big Six Hollywood and the media industry during his second start-up period after being kicked out of the company, plus a period of drastic reforms to bring Apple back to life.
The vast majority of Gang Leader Qiao's net worth is Pixar's equity, and in Apple, maybe one ten thousandth is considered too much. It was really when Apple was about to go bankrupt that it was hopeless, and the board of directors invited Gang Leader Qiao back.
So after Gang Leader Qiao returned to Apple, he immediately created a music player, also known as an mp3 player. This thing was prepared to fight a lawsuit with the three major record companies in the music industry from the moment it was born.
However, after the lawsuit was fought, this thing really helped Apple stabilize its position.
Coincidentally, Disney is also a shareholder of Apple, so Disney took the lead in opening up its own music library, and the Apple Store was born.
Now Apple is suddenly popular again, but Disney's board of directors wants to make money after all. It's one thing to open up its own music library, but it's another thing for Mr. Qiao to secretly work on something at Apple.
Gang leader Qiao is secretly crazy about love. When the board of directors discovered that he was crazy about love, the scene was even comparable to Zhuge villagers' verbal battles with scholars.
In addition, during this period, he met the Chip Alliance, an innocent person who had a car accident with him, and the board of directors was considering whether to expel Gang Leader Qiao from Apple for the second time. However, due to the fact that Gang Leader Qiao returned for the second time, The prestige that led Apple back to life was temporarily tolerated, but it also imposed many restrictions overtly and covertly.
After the Ai Crazy prototype finally came out, this group of board members who had little education and scientific literacy and may not even be as good as primary school students tried it out and were all shocked. They finally decided to stock up on the next generation of mobile communication terminals, and Gang Leader Qiao got plenty of money. Funds will be used to continue polishing Ai Kuang.
As we all know, Gang Leader Qiao is not only a patient with pancreatic cancer, but also a patient with late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder. Employees will burst out in anger when they are slightly displeased. He treats the details of love crazy like this, and treats other things in daily life the same way.
So Cook, who was already used to it, just said calmly: "Although those pigs on the board of directors didn't collect any useful information, I can speculate based on the information I observed and compiled.
Shuguang Society also intends to enter the next-generation mobile communication terminal market, and it is not a temporary move. They have been preparing for this for at least two years! "
Hearing this, Gang Leader Qiao felt a chill standing on end for some reason, "Are you sure?!"
"It's just speculation based on Shuguang Club's actions in the past two years, and didn't you already have the same speculation?"
Jobs didn't know why he just felt flustered, but he immediately found the point.
"Have Google ever negotiated with Dawn Society?"
Cook's face suddenly became serious: "It's because I haven't investigated any traces that Sugon Society may have had contact with Google, so I came to report this news to you in person. Damn it, the chip alliance's system is actually made by the Japanese." from!!!"
At this moment, Gang Leader Qiao realized the seriousness of the problem. In fact, he had always wondered what was going on with the Chip Alliance.
Without him, Gang Leader Qiao did not believe that Chinese companies had the ability to develop an operating system on their own, although the patent collision incident made him realize that the chip alliance seemed to have a similar idea to his, which was the keyboard-less touch screen route.
But the inherent impression has always led him to investigate which company provided the operating system.
Although Fengqun, Kingsoft's six software and even various industrial software developed by New World Group are very high-tech in Qiao's opinion, they pale into insignificance when compared with the operating system.
For example: the former are just various crops growing in a farmland, but the latter is the farmland itself.
The difference is clear at a glance.
But if it were the Japanese leader Qiao Gang, he would have to pay great attention to it, because he knew that Japan had this strength. If it were not suppressed by the United States, whether Apple would still exist would be a problem.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the semiconductor industry. According to Moore’s Law, the prices of various products should be getting lower and lower as time goes by.
However, the United States, which controls the voice of semiconductors, directly sets a minimum price for Japanese related products, which has a consequence.
Other Blue Star players can reduce their prices normally over time, but similar products from Japan will always be more expensive than others, so there is no way to play now, so the Japanese semiconductor industry directly suffered a critical blow.
But despite the setback, his foundation is still there. Gang leader Qiao is also an old man from Silicon Valley who experienced the era when Japan's electronics industry swamped the world, so he still attaches great importance to Japan.
In other words, in addition to Blue Star's four camps of Symbian, Microsoft, Android, and os, the fifth camp of the Chip Alliance turns out to be Japan!
And he still doesn’t know anything about the details of this camp? !
Cook looked at Gang Leader Qiao's solemn expression and then expressed his speculation: "In addition to Android, our competitors may have one more Shuguang Club. Kira must have recruited Sun Zhengyi to deal with Japan. The three major operators, plus the chip alliance, have complete control over rare earths and China’s huge market.
If they really succeed, the consequences will be very serious.
Steve, do we want it. . . "
Before Cook could finish, Jobs interrupted with a roar: "No! I have always believed that my work must be the best!
Do you want to use non-technical factors?
Doesn’t that mean I’m afraid? !
Don't you have confidence in our work? "
Cook knew that Gang Leader Qiao had pancreatic cancer and was very irritable and irritable, so he had no negative emotions and explained directly.
"I just want to be on the safe side. I also think that their progress is at least one generation behind us, just like Android. If you think this is inappropriate, then give up."
At this time, Gang Leader Qiao and Cook didn't know that their guesses were completely far from the correct answer.
Shuguang Club's preparation to enter the smartphone market is just Kira's obsession. Since Kira wants to do it, Chen Yi also supports it.
He probably didn't expect that a small incident for him would cause Gang Leader Qiao and Cook to start to change.
