Back To 1995: Chapter 419 wheel of history

  Chapter 419 The Wheel of History

   It can only be said that history is a reincarnation, and no one can avoid it. Even if it is an enemy in a few decades, it will be tough.

  Like the Be system and the Nest system, it can be said that it was late but arrived. After more than ten years, the Be system has changed a few vests, and the sparks between the Be system and Apple are still flying...

Although for many people, Joe's gang leader has a sharp and indifferent personality, strict and demanding, and in the early years, many Apple employees were afraid of his domineering and rude, and even dared not take the same elevator with him, for fear of taking a second look at Joe. The boss was fired.

  But Leader Qiao is human after all, and there will definitely be fluctuations for different people, and Markkula is one of them.

Came to the familiar redwood forest, I haven’t been here for more than ten years, the trees here are even taller, Joe’s leader finally looked at Markkula, “I need to establish a new Apple board of directors, let Apple start again, Scully, Amelio They have made Apple very sick..."

Jobs told Markkula that he dismissed the entire board of directors, including the reasons for driving away Markkula. If he wants to treat Apple's wounds, he must let all those who stand in his way leave, and get rid of all those who are bad for Apple. Impact.

"I see!"

  Markula was very gentle, without any dissatisfaction, nor any unacceptable meaning, "Apple really needs you, maybe we were all wrong at the beginning..."

Hearing this, Leader Qiao immediately felt relieved, but he knew what Markkula said, and he just followed the trend and gave him a step. Although he said that Markkula was a traitor, Leader Joe also He understood that at that time, he had already betrayed his relatives.

   "Apple is in a very bad situation now, with a shortage of capital flow, component suppliers have no confidence in Apple, and users' acceptance of Apple has also declined seriously..."

  In the Apple conference room, Jobs was full of momentum, but he was also worried that this mess was really hopeless.

   "Bruno Song and PA Semiconductor found Apple through Ella Woolard. They must have plans for Apple!"

   Facing Markkula, Leader Qiao said with some concern, for Song Yang who came to him suddenly, Leader Qiao always felt like he was being watched by wolves.

"I heard what you did after you returned to Apple. I think it should continue. As for the others, keeping Apple alive is the most important thing. Bill Gates can pay for Microsoft's rivals SUN and AOL. Case bowed his head!

I have heard of Bruno Song, he is a young man who is very good at seizing opportunities, just like you, he is also a guy with unconstrained ideas, he found Apple, which shows that Apple has what he wants, and also shows that, He has ideas about Apple and thinks Apple has a chance..."

Markkula said to Joe, who has always pursued perfection and has a tough personality, that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Now Apple is smashing drums and beating people. Even Bill Gates can bow his head to his deadly enemy in order to allow Microsoft to enter the Internet. Admit defeat, throw your face on the ground and step on it, there is nothing that Qiao Gangzhu can't let go of, let Qiao Gangzhu do it for Apple, bow your head if you should, and compromise if you have to compromise.

Jobs can ignore other people's words, but Markkula's words have a huge impact on Joe's leader. After hearing Markkula's words, Jobs remained silent, and finally nodded slightly. He knew that Markkula They are all telling the truth, now it is not for Leader Qiao to care about face, but for Apple to survive!

   "Director Woolard!"

At the Apple headquarters in Cupertino, early in the morning, the staff of Apple saw Chairman Ella Woolard and led them to the gate, as if waiting for someone to arrive. Few people are whispering.

A few minutes later, a long train line came down towards the Apple headquarters, and finally a group of people got out of the car, and when they saw Song Yang getting off the car, many Apple employees who knew Song Yang couldn't help covering their mouths , They all felt that something big had happened.

The media reporters who heard the movement hurried over. When they saw Song Yang and a group of people shaking hands with Ella Woolard, they quickly raised their cameras and took pictures of this scene. Some media wanted to He wanted to go forward for an interview, but was stopped by security personnel on both sides of Song Yang and Apple.

It's really hard not to think about it. Apple's current market value is less than three billion US dollars, and it can only last for less than two months. At this time, Song Yang, an upstart on the Internet, suddenly came to Apple , how can we not make people think too much?

  Last year, Song Yang was the person who invested the most in the Internet industry. Although many media and investment experts criticized Song Yang as a prodigal, Song Yang did indeed acquire the Alcatel mobile phone brand.

   And this year, Song Yang came to Apple again. Will he be tempted by such a "cheap" Apple? !

   Almost immediately after Song Yang entered the Apple headquarters, a burst of news spread throughout Wall Street and Silicon Valley in an instant. Song Yang and Apple's management were in contact!

   At the beginning, there is only a picture of Song Yang and Ella Woolard shaking hands, but for the media with big brains, this is enough.

For a while, the rumors that Song Yang wanted to acquire Apple Computer were widely circulated, and it was even rumored that Song Yang wanted to privatize Apple. These rumors caused Apple's half-dead stock price to skyrocket in an instant. Performance.

  But then various speculations and rumors began to appear. Some speculated that Song Yang’s going to Apple this time might be just an ordinary cooperation. It was speculated that Song Yang felt that the mobile phone was not fun, and he wanted to enter the PC manufacturing industry and jointly produce computers with Apple.

   There are also concerns. With Jobs' character, and Song Yang, who is young and energetic and has never suffered setbacks, the two may not be going to stage a martial arts show in the Apple conference room...

There are also analysts on Wall Street, starting from a metaphysical point of view, analyzing those companies that have cooperated with Song Yang in the past, not to mention being cheated, but anyway, there are frequent moths. Netscape, which was the first to cooperate, is now almost cold, and then It's Microsoft, and now it's entangled in monopoly lawsuits, and CUC International, which sold Xueleshan to Song Yang, is ridiculed and has no vision. Can stand it...

When seeing this metaphysical analysis, many people really felt that it was really evil. If Song Yang knew that the media analyzed it like this, he might send them a lawyer's letter to let them see the legal affairs team on his side. Strength, what the hell, Netscape, Microsoft, and CUC International are unlucky, what do they do, when Song Yang cooperates with them, they are all taken out with real gold and silver knives, this unlucky person drinks cold water and sticks his teeth, always Can't blame the dry water...

  Under various rumors and speculations, Apple's stock price also fluctuated violently, but it still rose by more than 10%, because it was cheap enough, with a stock price of less than $14, the ups and downs seemed violent.

  Song Yang, Gleick, Marcus and a group of senior executives from the North American Global Investment Fund, as well as PA Semiconductor's Doble Poole and others, entered the Apple headquarters.

   "President Ella Woolard, thank you for your support this time!"

  Song Yang said to Ella Woolard, who was still the chairman of Apple, that this time, Song Yang did not contact Jobs first, but found Ella Woolard to be the lobbyist this time.

  Talking with Jobs, with the old Joe's character, if you are not careful, the conversation will collapse. No one knows what decision Joe will make.

  The old fox like Ella Woolard is different. As the president of DuPont, he is much smoother in handling things, otherwise it is impossible to sit in that position.

   "Everything is for Apple, I hope this time it will not be a wrong choice!"

Ella Woolard said with a forced smile that the leader of Joe’s gang had already sold more than half of the Apple stocks in his hands. If the Apple fell down, he probably couldn’t accept it psychologically. The actual loss was not Great, but Ella Woolard and the group of directors are different. They still have a lot of Apple stocks in their hands. If they really go bankrupt, then the stuff in their hands will be worthless and become waste paper. It is their group of directors who can't do Jobs's reason.

After entering the conference room, the people on Song Yang’s side sat down with Ella Woolard, the current Apple executives, Schiller, Cook, Forstall, Mansfield, Eddie Ku, Pete · Oppenheimer and others arrived one after another, but only Jobs was missing.

  After exchanging pleasantries, the meeting room began to quiet down, but the absence of Chief Qiao made the atmosphere in the meeting room a bit dignified.

Song Yang's face was normal, with a chuckle on his face, showing no sign of annoyance at all, but his eyes were lightly staring at Cook, Eddie Ku and other big cows. If these people can be poached away, then The Alcatel mobile phone, Panda TV and other hardware industries in Song Yang's hands may save him a lot of worry.

However, it is not so easy to poach people from Gang Leader Joe. The reality distortion force field of Gang Leader Joe is the highest standard in the chicken soup industry. Amelio was affected by it. He sold himself and returned it to Leader Joe. say good things.

Song Yang didn't say anything, but it doesn't mean that Greg, Marcus, Doble Poole and others have no objections. Seeing that Song Yang had been present for a few minutes, but Joe's gang leader was late, Dober Poole couldn't help but say, "Aye Chairman La Woolard, it seems that Apple's internal opinions are not so unified!"

This time it was PA Semiconductor, and the North American Global Investment Foundation, who came with dollars. For Apple, which can only last for two months, this is their life-saving straw. Now that Jobs is not present, How can we not let Duo Bopuer and others think too much, Qiao Gangzhu is deliberately leaving them alone to express dissatisfaction.

Ella Woolard's face was also slightly ugly. Looking towards Schiller and others, the executives who were seen by Ella Woolard also had helplessness on their faces. How could they affect Jobs' success? Decide.

   "Perhaps, he has other things to be busy with. Today, we have enough time to solve all this!"

   Big changes for Yiyan, (_)
