Chapter 353

Zhuke is a rich man, and he is a self-made rich man. Even though he is still very young, none of the hundreds of shareholders and shareholder representatives on the scene dare to despise Zhuke's opinions.

What's more, Zhuke is now Apple's largest individual shareholder!

Zhuke was suddenly watched by countless people and said shyly, "that's not good. I have just become a member of the board of directors, but I really know very little about Apple. Is it not to influence your judgment to speak rashly? "

"Cunning fox!"

The crowd did not know who whispered a curse.

Although the voice was not loud, many people heard it.

Zucker himself heard it.

"You don't have to be so modest, Mr. Wald. Even if you don't know much about Apple, we all believe in your vision and overall outlook. You dare to say that. " The shareholder who refuted jobs has come forward again.

This shareholder, named kodler Davids, is the boss of a small oil company. In recent years, he has invested in a lot of Internet companies and made a lot of money. His wealth is no less than $1 billion.

He and jobs are extremely hostile.

Even, he is the vanguard against jobs taking over the power of Apple again!

"Mr. Davids, you can get around me."

Zhuke waved his hand and said, "you don't think I'm rich now, but it's not all my credit. Except for the movie business, other Internet stocks are just luck."

In a word, I can go to the theatre. If I want to express my opinion, there is no way!

"You Kodler Davids was a little annoyed.

Another shareholder representative of the kodler Davids camp could not help but stand up and say: "Mr. Wald, this is the general meeting of shareholders, not the managing board of directors. You are the largest individual shareholder of the company. Your opinions are extremely valuable. Please don't be stingy!"

"Yes, yes!" There are a lot of people around.

"Don't bully me when I'm young. Do you really think I have a good temper? I have a principle that I am not easy to express my views on unfamiliar industries and unclear affairs. This is my principle. I hope you will understand. "

In his words, Zhuke appears to be very righteous, not humble and not overbearing.

"No one can expect to use me as a gun ~" Zhuke was full of disdain.

At this time, jobs looked at Zhuke and asked, "are you sure you don't want to express your opinion?"

Smell speech, Zhu Ke play taste: "today I am very tired, you say, I listen to, after all, I am very young."

Jobs didn't say much, but... He caught a word.

——Today!

Obviously, he knew that Zucker had a plan.

For a moment, jobs couldn't help cursing in his heart.

The next shareholders' meeting will be much more interesting.

Shareholders headed by kodler Davids refuted jobs' plan; And jobs did not retreat, and they launched a fierce battle; Moreover, there are also some neutral shareholders, who are absolutely watching the fun and are not too big to be reconciled.

It's a war of words. It's wonderful!

"You bastards!"

"Stupid guy ~"

"Although Apple's stock price has risen again in the past two years, have you seen our own core competitiveness? It's the same old thing! "

"Those things, in your opinion, are precious wealth, but in my opinion, they are just antiques and rubbish."

"You heard me right. It's rubbish. It's rubbish that can be left at hand!"

"If a company loses the spirit of innovation and the courage to open up, then it is not far from collapse!"

"Stupid, backward, not enterprising bastards, you were born in the world, it is a blasphemy to God. If I were your parents, I would have crushed you to death and pushed you back into the matrix. "

Jobs is jobs, even after suffering, erase a lot of corners, but the temper is still hot.

you 're right!

From the beginning to the end, he was not a gentle gentleman, but a grumpy general. As far as temper is concerned, he has said it many times in public without any ambiguity.

Whether it's the development of a new operating system, MacOSX, or the development of an iPod digital music player, jobs thinks it's necessary.

He even thought: if Apple wants to be brilliant and great again, it must start these two projects.

Of course, he was opposed by many people.

Kodler davitz retorted, "as far as you are concerned, we are all stupid people? Why don't you talk about Apple's e-mail charges? "

Steve Jobs

Suddenly, many people at the scene were happy.

Zhuke himself was very unkind, laughing.

Apple e-mail used to be a trump card project of apple in the mid-1990s, tearing a hole from Microsoft and AOL, occupying a lot of market share, and the monthly advertising expenses are not a few.

This profit makes Apple have a good life.

However... Jobs made a stupid decision!

"I think we should charge for Apple's e-mail, which is $100 per user per year, which is quite reasonable, because we will provide better and more diversified e-mail services." It was jobs' decision.

However, this charging measure has been strongly resisted by users.

As a result, apple e-mail is dead

Exposing people without exposing their shortcomings and beating people without face?

Hehe, at the moment, jobs is being slapped in the face by many opposition shareholders. It's painful!

"Break up!"

An important decision can't be made in one meeting or two sentences, not to mention investing heavily in the development of a new operating system.

There is no doubt that the shareholders' meeting was a failure.

Well, at least for jobs, it's a failure, because there are very few people who support him.

Of course, the general meeting of shareholders is only an introduction, it does not play a decisive role. In the end, it is up to the minority directors who hold more shares to hold the executive board to make decisions.

......

The next day.

Jobs called Zhuke and invited him to dinner.

"Boss, jobs invited you to dinner, presumably because of the two decisions made by apple yesterday?" Alexander laughed.

"I can't think of anything else but this," Chuck said with a smile. After all, I've known him for many years, but friendship... That's the same thing. "

Time passed slowly, and in a twinkling of an eye it was evening.

In a Michelin 3-star French restaurant in downtown Losangeles, Zuker and Jobs sat opposite to each other, two.

"We've known each other for almost five years. If I remember correctly, it's the first time we've had dinner together." Jobs said after a drink.

Zhuke immediately said with a smile, "don't say it. It's true. I haven't had dinner with you, but I'm playing with John lassett and Andrew

"I know." Jobs nodded.

The next time, of course, is eating and chatting.

Suddenly, Zhuke said, "jobs, we have something to talk about, OK? I'm not used to your sudden changes. "

Suddenly, jobs's face froze.

Although there was no contradiction between him and Zhuke, they did have a common friendship. Apart from work, they had almost no contact.

What is he going to say now?

It's nothing more than getting Zucker to support his decision at Apple!

Although Zhuke has just become a member of the company's board of directors, he is, after all, the company's largest individual shareholder and a well-known 10 billion rich man in the United States. In this regard, Zhuke naturally has a great influence on apple.

"I hope you support me!" Jobs's eyes were fixed on Zucker.

Zhuke stopped laughing, put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a wet towel, and said seriously, "what can I get?"

"I can give you a higher position in apple, such as the position of executive director." Jobs said in a low voice.

For jobs, this is already a huge concession.

Zhu Keshen said: "executive director position? Sounds great, but do you think I'll be rare? Do you think it is necessary for Steve jobs to exist as an executive director when he is chairman of apple one day? Do you have a say? Don't fool me ~ "

What a strong man jobs is!

As Mr. Zucker said, the strong Mr. jobs, even if he won't make apple a speech, does not really need to be an executive director.

"What do you want?" Jobs was suddenly happy.

I'm not afraid that you are powerful, but I'm afraid that you don't ask for anything; As long as you want something, there's talk.

He's an old fox!

Don't blame Zhuke for being mean and taking advantage of others. Interest exchange is the norm in the United States.

"The first watch" is presented.
