Back To 1995: Chapter 790 reins

   The gang leader Qiao is by no means a character who is willing to be subordinated to others. Since he returned to Apple and washed the entire Apple board of directors and management, you can know the character of the gang leader Qiao.

Now Apple's hardware and software are controlled by Song Yang's companies. Just like Apple sells an iMac, it can sell for 1,299 US dollars, but now Apple is not the era of later generations of smartphones. One company makes 90% of the profits of the entire industry. The presence.

   In the face of IBM, Dell, HP, etc., Qiao Gangzhu can make a few words of bullshit, and bury a few words from other colleagues at the press conference, but the most basic rules must not be said!

Apple does not dare to say that in the computer industry, if it can beat those opponents, if it can win the opponents, Apple iMac computer does not need to be tricky in design. It is an all-in-one computer, and the floppy drive is cancelled. The bells and whistles are just to attract the attention of users.

   Apple earns the most from selling an iMac, which is around 30%. This is already a lot of money. You must know that brands such as Dell that take the mass-market route can earn 15%.

But no matter how much Apple earns, anyway, the Alcatel mobile phone industry chain, PA semiconductor, ARM, Panda TV, etc. on Songyang's side, a machine will scrape more than 20% of the income from Apple, regardless of whether Apple earns this machine or not. Earn, anyway, Song Yang will not lose!

   And if the Apple computer sells a lot, it is also for the Panda TV screen, the PA semiconductor chip, and the ARM design to promote it, which is equivalent to a wave of advertisements.

Now Apple still wants to use America Telecom's flagship electronic retail stores all over America and overseas, and Alcatel's mobile phone sales channels, at least 5% of the profit must be contributed. This is still a friendly price, depending on Apple It's an "ally", and for the first line of resistance against Microsoft, it's just a matter of collecting some money, otherwise, it may be more!

   "Of course there is no problem. I think the sales channel of Alcatel mobile phones and the flagship store of America Telecom are also happy to cooperate with Apple!"

Song Yang smiled at Jobs and said that America Telecom's flagship store has now opened from America to Canada, England and other places. In addition, Alcatel's mobile phone sales channels have initially established a sales network covering major regions of the world, covering the world. Dealers everywhere, even in Africa, can now buy Alcatel phones.

Jobs nodded, Song Yang, the "white knight", was willing to help Apple, but when he thought that nearly one-third of the revenue from selling a computer would go to Song Yang's pocket, Gangmaster Qiao couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. Breath to calm yourself down.

Although he is a little more irritable than his temper, Gang Master Qiao, who has suffered losses, has long been able to control his temper in important matters. In order to return to Apple and stabilize his position in Apple, he can put down his body. Going to join forces with Bill Gates temporarily, and now doing white jobs for others, Gang Master Qiao has endured.

   Song Yang looked at Jobs' expression. He knew that due to the strong desire for control of the gang leader Qiao, I am afraid that he would not have to watch Apple work for others all the time. He must be here, and he will have a fight with the gang leader Qiao in the future.

However, Song Yang is not too worried. Song Yang is now Apple's largest individual shareholder. After next year, Apple will be like other technology stocks. Even if the stock price does not collapse, it will have to lose a layer of skin, and Song Yang will buy more by then. Just order Apple stock, it's the price of cabbage anyway...

This requires a balance. Apple is inseparable from Steve Jobs. All the foundations of Apple are built by Steve Jobs, so it is impossible to drive Joe out of Apple, but also to ensure that Song Yang has absolute influence on Apple. There needs to be a balance in the middle. Just do it.

   And when the time was right, after Gang Master Qiao left Apple, Song Yang didn't mind, he swallowed the apple in one bite, and directly owned the computer business and operating system, which made up for a shortcoming in Song Yang's hands!

  Song Yang and Gang Leader Qiao, who were sitting opposite, both had smiles on their faces, but they both had their own thoughts and wanted to bite each other hard!

   "Song, I have another thing I need your help with, which is very important to Apple!"

   After a while, Gang Leader Qiao finally began to talk about the real purpose of inviting Song Yang over this time.

  Song Yang stretched out his hand and asked Gang Master Qiao to continue.

   "Song, you know, the apple looks better now, but, the person before, made it a mess inside, I avoided it from continuing to rot inside, but it will take a long time to cure it completely.

   Apple's debt now exceeds one billion US dollars, and this does not include those bonds you have in Song Yang's hands. Apple needs new revenue to fill those holes! "

   Jobs waved his arms, just like he did at the press conference, trying to convince Song Yang with his "reality distortion" ability.

But after hearing Jobs's rhetoric, it seems that if Song Yang doesn't help Apple this time, Apple will collapse, the technology industry will lose a top technology company, and Song Yang may make a fatal mistake, Song Yang is still He looked very calm.

Jobs's words are indeed very powerful, and he was caught by him inadvertently. From Apple needing Song Yang's help, to Song Yang's sin if he didn't help Apple, this kind of argument, if you haven't experienced poison The baptism in the chicken soup era may have really been bypassed.

   "So, which industry does Apple want to enter?"

Song Yang asked Jobs with a calm face. Jobs said so much, but he wanted to let Apple enter the mobile phone, MP3 or other industries. This is the easiest industry for Apple to enter. Grab a meal with Song Yang here.

   took a deep look at Song Yang. Seeing Song Yang's expression, Jobs knew what to do. It was probably useless, "MP3!"

After hesitating for a while, Jobs still said the name of MP3. He wanted Apple to enter the MP3 and mobile phone industries at the same time, but in the end, he chose MP3. In the current mobile phone industry, the competition pressure is too great, even if it is Qiao Gangzhu, dare not say, can hold down Nokia, Motorola, Alcatel mobile phones and other brands.

The mobile phone industry is now basically a fight between gods and gods. Even if it is Nokia, the industry leader, it is not safe to sit. Motorola was pressed and beaten by an Alcatel mobile phone in America. This was a few years ago. , but now it actually happened.

In contrast, the MP3 industry has significantly fewer opponents. Although many electronics companies are launching their own MP3 brands, and there is even the presence of the industry leader of Dimeng, Jobs is confident that Apple will be able to compete in this industry. Kill a **** way!

Hearing that Jobs wanted Apple to enter the MP3 industry, Song Yang smiled, "It's a good choice, the MP3 market is indeed huge now, I think Alcatel mobile phones are willing to support Apple's entry into the MP3 industry, and Diamond League will not refuse! "

   The core patents of MP3 are all in the hands of Alcatel mobile phones. Even if Alcatel mobile phones do not end up in person, other brands that want to produce MP3 must obtain the consent of Alcatel mobile phones.

   Jobs thought that he would have to spend a lot of time talking, but he did not expect Song Yang to agree so easily, which made Jobs a little surprised for a while.

   "Alcatel mobile phone, willing to support Apple's entry into the MP3 industry, but..."

  Song Yang also stared at Jobs and said, "Apple MP3 must allow users to download music from the Saipan Music Store, this is the only condition!"

The tone of Song Yang's words was not serious, but it made Jobs' face darken slightly. He knew that Song Yang said these words, but he meant that there was no negotiation at all. Apple could enter MP3, but it wanted to launch its own music store called What iTunes stuff, don't even think about it!

   Without waiting for Jobs to speak, he directly blocked the opportunity for Jobs to speak. Song Yang did not say how Song Yang would react if Jobs insisted on letting Apple launch its own music store, but Jobs also knew that it should not be a good thing.

   Jobs really wanted to play a whole set, from MP3s to music stores, and won them all, but Song Yang obviously didn't give him a chance.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, but Song Yang was not at all abnormal. No matter what the face of Gang Leader Qiao sitting opposite, Song Yang got the status of Apple's largest individual shareholder with real money and bought so many bonds issued by Apple. Used for decoration.

  Some things, Song Yang will support Jobs, such as fighting with Microsoft, but sometimes, Song Yang will never allow Apple to go beyond the bounds, playing MP3 can be, if you want to launch a music store, don't talk!

Gangmaster Qiao really dared to do that, so Song Yang wouldn't mind. He initiated a meeting of all Apple's board of directors, exercised the rights of the largest individual shareholder, and made a small loss of Gangmaster Qiao's face. By then, let alone a music store, Even the MP3 business has to be messed up by Apple.

  It is really not easy to accomplish something, but if you want to hold back, there are means!

   After a while, Jobs laughed, obviously making a choice, "Thank you Director Bruno for your support of Apple!"

When Song Yang took the people away, many of Apple's executives, including Apple's marketing president Phil Schiller, Apple's design director Jonathan Forstall, and the supply chain director Cook, etc. Filed in.

   "Steve, the pre-sale of iMacs has exceeded 30,000 units. All major dealers are calling and want to pre-order iMacs!"

As soon as he came in, Phil Schiller reported the good news to Jobs. Just after the press conference was held, Apple received various orders for iMac. They came to the door one after another, and the pre-sale of 30,000 units was already the best pre-sale by Apple in recent years.

   But when he heard Phil Schiller's words, Jobs just responded lightly, his face was a little unsightly, and all Apple executives knew immediately that something was wrong.
