"Open source? Why? " Jobs's eyes narrowed, with vigilance, as if very unhappy, that look, and to guard against the children who want to take their toys.
"For the future." "There is no doubt that the future is the world of smart phones. Who can seize the opportunity, who can win the market! I may not be sure before, but after seeing your things today, I believe that although BlackBerry has opened this era, iPhone will surely lead this era! "
Jobs slightly did not observe the nod, perhaps even he did not realize that, obviously, this remark made him very useful.
"So what kind of opportunity should we seize?" Adrian finally threw out his real topic, "standard! The standard of smart phone system! "
He stretched out his hand and drew a big circle between them: "smart phones are the trend. Its market is bound to be a piece of fat meat. If you want to have more and better possession before others react to it, it is very necessary to formulate a standard for operating system. The iPhone experience is very good, but the system is too closed, and BlackBerry's experience in the industry is too shallow, so when the market reacts, there will be more open systems to launch - have you heard of Android? Google bought them last year. You don't think it's fun for Google's board to approve the acquisition? "
Seeing jobs showing a look of thinking, Adrian's tone was also enthusiastic: "think about the original situation, Steve. Apple launched the PC for the first time and has been a great success, and it is still a high-end product today. It is still the first choice for people to buy personal computers, but when it comes to operating systems, Microsoft is the first to think of. The closed OS system is really stable, but it also gives up the low-end market to Microsoft. Do you want to make this scene happen again on smart phones
At this point, he suddenly changed the topic: "I have always reminded you not to rely entirely on Samsung, but you hardly listen to it. Now? With this... "
Adrian shook the iPhone prototype in his hand: "I want to ask you, Steve, do you know Samsung also makes mobile phones? If they are in the process of being Apple's supplier, they can understand the structure of the iPhone, and then launch their own smartphones, and use the open-source operating system to threaten apple. Either pay more or change to another supplier. How do you choose? "
"I admit, you said so much, and that's the most threatening point in the end," jobs finally said after picking his eyebrows. "But otherwise, it's not a big deal, or you want to tell me that you don't have confidence in Apple's future, do you. Ed? "
"Yes." Adrian looked at him and gave a positive answer. "You're absolutely right, jobs. I have no confidence in Apple's future."
There was a twinkle of amazement in jobs's eyes, but before he spoke, Adrian already said aloud: "I think you should make it clear that Steve, I never invested in apple, but I have always invested in Steve jobs. Steve Jobs is the workaholic, arrogant, narcissist, but also the general genius of Steve jobs!"
He stood up and waved his arms, showing great excitement: "although I have said so much and mentioned so many bad prospects, I fully believe that as long as Steve Jobs is here, as long as there is this genius, madman and madman, Apple will never have to worry about anything! Apple will always stride forward! No matter how many people want to catch up with what means, it will not care. It will only throw them far away and leave their back to others. Apple with Steve Jobs is the real apple and the real giant in the industry! "
What is the highest level of flattery? It's when you use a lot of bad words on the other person, but they still feel very useful.
"As long as you're still at Apple, as long as you're still in charge of apple, I won't say that at all, but -" Adrian, who has calmed down, stares at jobs. "What if one day you're gone?"
"Oh?" Jobs pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, but didn't say anything.
"We all know about you, don't we?" Adrian bluntly pointed out, "it's offensive to say that, but I have to think about everything, right? So, let's say, Steve, let's do it again. You announce that you need to leave Apple temporarily due to physical reasons, and you are expected to return in 3 to 6 months. Guess how much Apple will fall in response? I bet at least 10 percent. "
He opened his hand and raised it, but jobs still sat there and said nothing.
"What happens to apple if you're gone - like retirement or something?" Adrian didn't care. He went on, "I'll tell you, Steve, first of all, the stock market will inevitably fall to a certain extent, which can't be avoided; then, Apple will maintain the current momentum, because the inertia is huge; then, people will begin to question, the competitors will start to target, and Apple will try every means to maintain its position and kill its competitors, For example, patent the chamfering. In the end, if Apple can survive and find a successor who is only half of your ability, it will be reborn. Otherwise, the giant will collapse. "Adrian spread out his hand. Although there was a tail left behind, he believed that jobs could not fail to understand what he meant. After he left, almost everyone knows what happened to apple, which is also the most convincing part of Adrian's speech.
"All you have to do is open source, even if it is only a part or a small part. As long as you can integrate this market, if anyone wants to share it, you have to ask us for our opinions, and apple has a brighter future," Adrian looked at jobs seriously. "Don't tell me about Apple's tradition and so on. Didn't you also make a lot of changes?"
"I admit that your fears are justified, and your description is very attractive. Ed, "after thinking for a long time. With his arms in his arms, jobs finally opened his mouth. He could see that he was moved, but he agreed, but not what Adrian wanted.
"But I refuse." He raised his head and said in an unquestionable tone.
“…… Why? " Full of confidence, Adrian settled in a daze, some can't believe looking at jobs.
"You said, as long as I'm still at Apple, I don't have to worry, right?" Hands crossed in front of jobs calmly looking at him. "As for the assumption that I'm not here, if one day I believe I will leave apple a rich legacy. If they can't survive in this situation and can't support apple, they should go out of business."
The eyes behind the glasses are shining, this moment. He is quite similar to the commander in an animation who always sits behind his desk and makes his glasses flash.
"Did he really say that to you?" Claude couldn't help laughing.
"He really said that to me." Adrian nodded helplessly and gloomily, "this is really a time A major setback. "
He took into account the way he spoke, the plot he portrayed, how to provoke jobs, all the details. But I didn't expect that this guy would be proud or stick to his faith to this extent. If you can't make it through, you'll go out of business? It's really powerful. Why don't you just say that it's destroyed from my hands?!
At that time, he really wanted to ask this question, but he finally resisted. No more lobbying. Adrian and jobs have had a lot of contact, very clear. Some things, once decided by the other party, will not change.
It's too bad. It's too bad. Adrian couldn't help sighing again. For more than a decade, he has been used to the situation that every lobbying can achieve results - not to say that he is proud. Every time he wants to lobby, he will make careful preparations. What's more, he knows that jobs is not easy to speak, and he has repeatedly thought about it, but he didn't expect to hit the wall severely or have no room for maneuver. Damn it, Steve jobs. He had a heart attack.
You know, unifying the standard of smart phone operating system is one of the things he has set down for a long time and wants to do most. It is inevitable that he will be frustrated when he is hit by this kind of attack.
"Is unified smartphone operating system really so important?" "I've learned a little bit that Nokia, as the biggest and most profitable mobile phone manufacturer at present, doesn't seem to be very optimistic about smartphones," Claude asked at the moment
"So they are destined to go downhill." Adrian waved his hand. "You've seen the iPhone, crow. Tell me how it feels."
"Well As ordinary people, this kind of mobile phone with many functions is easy to use, but it is not so complicated. " Claude thought about it and replied.
"Yes, just like websites, the user experience is very important, and the iPhone is very good," Adrian nodded. "For modern people, the more functions, the better, the simpler, the better. If you can solve all problems with one button, it's better not to design two buttons. With the closed system of the iPhone, although it is not friendly to unsupported software, it is also easier to use from another perspective. As long as third-party software is constantly provided on the platform, they can easily download it without considering compatibility and other issues. "
"In that case, it's understandable that jobs refused to open source." Claude shrugged.
"Yes, I understand, but I don't accept it, knowing that we could have used it to set standards that affect the industry as a whole!" Adrian waved his fist. "Can you imagine the way we say the movie is going to be made, the other way around?"
"Of course. Isn't that what you're doing now?" Claude laughed, then raised his hands in Adrian's white eyes. "Well, I understand your mood, ed. this is really an opportunity if smartphones really go as you say. But it's no big deal to be rejected. We are all familiar with Steve Jobs's style. Besides, Google or Samsung, we all have shares, and we won't lose after all. "
After hearing this, Adrian couldn't help but pick his eyebrows. Well, it seems that he has indeed overlooked some things. With jobs' kind of control which is no less than his own, will he agree to the requirement that he can not dominate? What's more, even Claude has to check his judgment again and again before he takes action, not to mention Steve Jobs! But what he said will not be confirmed until a few years later. Now it's only a guess, and it's a little bit of a guess.Although jobs refused out of his own faith and pride. But it's impossible if none of the above has an impact.
"Well, change the subject," Adrian waved. "Say something that makes me happy."
In any case, jobs has clearly said no, no matter how unwilling, can only give up, there is no need to worry about. Claude was right. In any case, AC media will not suffer.
"What do you want to hear? Oh, by the way, Airbus's A380 will complete its round the world voyage by the end of the year, and it will be officially launched next year. Haven't you been concerned about this model and need to change to a larger private plane? We can place orders in the first half of the year or more. " Said Claude, thinking of something.
"It was assembled in 2004. But it took more than two years to complete all the tests, and this efficiency is too Let's talk about it then. Isn't Boeing developing the 747-8. " Adrian shrugged.
"By the way, one more thing..." Claude stopped in the middle of it. "Well, I don't even have a clue. Let's wait until we have the preliminary results. "
"No problem. Just let me know." Adrian also did not ask, immediately stood up, "anyway, I am going to find someone to comfort my broken heart, here it is for you."
Claude immediately rolled his eyes.
Despite abandoning the idea of integrating smartphone operating systems. But the heart is still more depressed, naturally need to find some fun. Find some exciting fun. There's one right now.
"Yes, I know, I Will pay attention to It's OK. You have to Be careful... " Lying half to side on the sofa, Irene Nordegren grabs the phone and tries to control her voice so that her voice is not so distorted by the shock from behind and the thrill of deep inside.
Her clothes were crumpled, her bra pulled down, a pair of soft exposed, one leg on the shoulder of the man behind her, and her panties hung on the leg of that leg.
"It's nice at home Don't worry about Well... " She finally couldn't help it, covered her mobile phone and took a few breaths of cold air, as if only in this way could the fire in her body be reduced a little.
Of course, it's only temporary. When the fire burns again, it can't be contained in this way, but there's no doubt that Irene likes it very much. She turned around, released the mobile phone, held it to her ear, and then licked the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, and threw a wink at the man behind her.
"Yes, yes, I understand. I will Well That I will Ah Irene suddenly exclaimed. At that moment, her eyes became very lax, and she was almost desperate. Fortunately, she finally controlled herself.
"It's OK. Josephine's here. I'm scared by the sudden appearance of Josephine." Said Irene, taking the opportunity to gasp, "do you want to talk to her?"
Then she handed her cell phone to Josephine, who knelt in front of the sofa. Compared with Irene, Josephine, who raised her head, had no cover on her upper body. She blushed, and there was a trace of water stains on the corner of her mouth. She took it after a steady breath: "Hi, tiger, what can I do for you?"
She said so, her own hand from the bottom of her skirt did not stop for a moment, her eyes were looking at the two people who had increased the range of motion in front of her eyes and did not blink.
"OK, I see. That's all. I have something else to do." Two or three words passed Tiger Woods over there, and Josephine put it up immediately after hanging up.
Irene at this time also followed up, Nordegren twins and men immediately fight to entangle, can let the sisters do so, only Adrian.
He didn't have any psychological burden, because Irene invited her on her own initiative. Although it was through Josephine and there was no explicit statement, after Adrian came to her house, the teasing was real. Even before, she took the initiative to talk to woods on the phone.
"You seem to hate him, Irene?" After picking her up from behind, Adrian deliberately asked her in her ear.
"Of course I hate him," gasped Irene, without any scruples. "Sweet talk before marriage, after marriage Only five months later, he started outside Hang out with other women, and more than one! I'm sure just now He's in a woman's room, and he went to Las Vegas to spend the night for that woman
She turned her head and smilingly put her arm around Adrian's neck. "In that case, I can find another man. Josephine is a great admirer of you, ed
This is the consequence of not having the corresponding power and counter-measures, but also having to make love everywhere. Because of this, Adrian never promised his wife marriage. However, although Shuangfei Nordegren twins are very happy, the quality of the sisters is quite good, but occasionally play on the line, after all, the two sisters are not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Not to mention anything else, but if you look at how Irene Nordegren pretends to be deaf and dumb about woods outside, you can see what her personality is, not to mention Adrian has a lot of information on how she came to know woods from Sweden. In the same way, Josephine Nordegren was arranged to work as an intern in a cooperative law firm. Soon after joining him, he became an official assistant and participated in several cases according to the name recommended by Adrian, which improved his reputation in the circle. Moreover, he did just the right thing, which did not disgust the firm, but also made Adrian shrug his shoulders.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
