"As time goes on, computer technology will only be updated faster and faster. Think about it, gentlemen. In the 1970s, how many ways did we think about making computers have so little space? It's easy to operate now! If Mr. Clinton's information superhighway can be realized, it will be an unprecedented innovation, so I industry is definitely the best investment object in the future! " The middle-aged man talked with a lot of words. From his excited look, if he told this in the auditorium, his body language would be very rich.
"But at present, except for a few companies with good prospects, such as Microsoft, many enterprises have more or less some problems, such as apple." The person who said that was obviously mean.
"It's very normal. The CEO of Apple may be very skillful in management, but he doesn't have any specific plans for technology upgrading." The middle-aged man replied quietly.
"But we all know that after the release of in3.0, Microsoft has basically established its own monopoly position." The other party didn't intend to let him go, but a voice interrupted: "every company has its own direction. Microsoft is following the popular moral line, so apple can take the high-end elite line."
The middle-aged man's eyes obviously flashed a glimmer of light, and immediately turned to see the voice of the people. He was a young man in his early twenties, with bright black eyes and curly brown hair. His height of about six feet made his tall and straight figure slender. With the appropriate suit, he had a smile and temperament.
"Hello, Mr. Steve jobs. This is Adrian Cowell." The young man held out his hand to the middle-aged man.
"Hello, Mr. Cowell," Steve shook hands with him. "Nice to meet you."
He did not open his mouth to ask each other's occupation, can attend this kind of banquet either rich or expensive, but inevitably with a little arrogant tone. Normally, if not, he would not be Steve jobs.
But Adrian's next line made him frown: "frankly, I don't like you, Mr. jobs."
This is true. In his previous life, he knew something about the black history of Steve Jobs, the founder of apple. To put it simply, he was eccentric, arrogant, dictatorial, and liked to take other people's achievements as his own, and even his illegitimate daughter refused to admit it. In particular, if he had not offended all the board members, he would have been kicked out of apple.
So he didn't really like this man in his previous life. But now it's different. Adrian, who was born again, is similar to jobs in some places. It's inevitable that he has a bit of the same smell. What's more, although this guy has many problems, he has few business talents. If he had not been kicked out of apple a few years ago, who would have laughed at the end of the war between apple and Microsoft.
For Adrian, who knows the future, jobs has a lot of things he wants. If the operation is good, the benefits will be very important to his plan, so it is not too much to have a good relationship now, so
"However, there are no perfect people in this world. There are both good and bad sides in this world. So if you don't like it or not, you should have some respect." Adrian continued with a smile.
This disguised compliment immediately let jobs frown to stretch out, nodded and raised his chin slightly: "it's true."
"I'm a director, a new director, but I also run media companies and investment companies with my friends," Adrian continued. "Mr. Clinton's concept of the information superhighway has given us a lot of new ideas. If it can be built successfully, it will open a new door for the media industry. In addition, we all graduated from Stanford and have a relatively good understanding of the situation in Silicon Valley, so we are optimistic about the investment in I industry. Just when I heard your talk, I came over and hoped that I didn't disturb you. "
"No, no, no, of course not," jobs's eyes lit up behind his lens. "I have to say that you and your friends are very far sighted. Mr. Cowell, the development of I industry has never been as rapid as it is now..."
Then there was a long talk. Although I analyzed the current industry from the overall perspective, more of them were promoting his own ne computer company. The company, which he founded after being kicked out of apple, focuses on developing new computer technology.
Adrian can't help but feel a bit ironic. In his previous life, he had heard such a saying: jobs publicized in his autobiography that the reason why he was successful was related to his seizing the opportunity to promote himself anytime, anywhere. Now it seems that this statement is somewhat credible. To be frank, if he didn't know what the future would look like, he might have been really moved by jobs. This guy's eloquence is absolutely superb, which is better than Clinton who gave a speech at the fund-raising dinner just now.
"Thank you for your explanation, Steve. My friends and I will consider your suggestion." After jobs finished his long speech, Adrian quickly took the lead, lest he continue.
"I'm sure you'll make a wise choice, Adrian." Jobs nodded and didn't go on."So..." Adrian looked at Claude in the distance. "I think I have to leave. I'll get back to you later."
Mr. adelain took out jobs' business cards and handed them to each other.
After a conversation, it's still a little rewarding. At least two people have already called each other's names directly. But for the time being, it will be a few years before the relationship can be further deepened, and then the good things in jobs' hands will be valuable. Of course, Adrian would not say this to Claude.
"he's a business genius, yes, he was very arrogant in the early 1980s, that's normal, very few people became a billionaire in their early 20s, it's not easy to stay awake, so it's normal to suffer setbacks," Adrian said on the way back, sitting in the RV, "at least Joe Booth didn't get down, so I think he's a notable object. Remember, "icing on the cake" is never as good as "sending charcoal in the snow!"
"Oh, please, don't speak Chinese to me, OK? I have a headache at the thought of those words, "Claude cried." I know what you mean. That's it. "
"Well, let's talk about another thing," Adrian changed the subject. "How's the foreign trade company doing? Time is running out, and the Soviet Union can last another six months at most. "
"Is it?" Claude raised his eyebrows. "Sure?"
"No, it's just my own inference." Adrian knows what he's asking.
"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements, ed." Claude thought about it and then added, "in fact, I've made an arrangement, and after that evening's discussion, I started to analyze and make a plan."
"Plan? What kind of plan? " Adrian got interested when he settled in.
"Well Well, I'll wait until it's done, "Claude said after thinking." I was going to give you a big surprise. "
"Big surprise? Well, then I'll wait. " Adrian doesn't ask much.
A few minutes later he frowned again. "What are you looking at, crow?"
"Watching, of course..." After watching him for a long time, Claude began to laugh. "Does more than a month's life as a father in London have any impact on you - but judging from your performance tonight, you haven't changed at all."
"Shut up, crow! I said, "I'm not polite if you talk like that again!" Adrian immediately became angry and threatened.
"Well, well, I didn't say anything," Claude laughed. "You really haven't changed at all, ed."
Rolling his eyes, Adrian looked out of the window. Change? Of course not. Although Adrian almost thought he had changed during the time when Emma was always pestering him in London, when he returned to Los Angeles, he knew that he was still himself. He knew what he wanted and how to get it.
The Democratic Party's fund-raising dinner is just for once, mainly to observe whether there is any deviation in the highway proposed by Clinton. Adrian was not interested in getting mixed up with politics. All these things were left to Claude.
After that, Adrian immediately put himself into the later stage of shawshank redemption. To be honest, the editors in the studio have good abilities, but their understanding of the film is far less than that of Adrian. In addition, the time of shooting is compressed as much as possible, and the shots are very messy, and few people can figure out the sequence of these shots.
Although Adrian gave guidance through videophone when he was in London, it was not a substitute for him to edit the film himself. So when he returned to Los Angeles, he saw a basic story line that was clearly explained, but various transitions were very rigid. Faced with this situation, Adrian had to adjust himself.
Fortunately, as he had expected, it was much easier to revise than to create from scratch. It took about a week to edit the shawshank redemption. Then it took another week to sort out the bits and pieces of post work, such as adding music - Thomas Newman's soundtrack was completely different from what he remembered, but it was just as wonderful; or contacting a couple of stars to do the dubbing - which had to be supervised by Adrian.
Finally, two weeks later, The Shawshank Redemption was basically completed, and the rest was to try, release and publicize, especially the publicity work. It was very important because the goal of the film was very clear, which was to go for the Oscar.
"It's going to be my ticket to the Oscars next year." That's what Adrian said to Lafayette.
