Vol 3 Chapter 332: I reject

"Open source? Why?" Jobs's eyes narrowed, with vigilance, and he seemed very unhappy. It looked a lot like guarding a child who wanted to take away his toy.
"For the future." Adrian said immediately in an eager and affirmative tone. "There is no doubt that the future is the world of smartphones. Whoever seizes the opportunity will win the market! I may not have been able to do so before. Sure, but after seeing what you have today, I believe that although BlackBerry has opened this era, ne will certainly lead this era! "",
Jobs nodded indifferently, maybe he didn't even realize it himself, obviously the words obviously made him useful.
"So what kind of opportunity should we seize?" Adrian finally threw out his real topic, "Standard! Standard for smartphone systems!"
He reached out and drew a big circle between the two: "Smartphones are the trend, and its market is bound to be a piece of fat. If you want more and better possession before others respond, then develop an operating system The standard is very necessary. The experience of ne is good, but the system is too closed, and the BlackBerry's qualifications in the industry are too shallow, so when the market reacts, there will be more open systems to launch. You have heard of the Android system. Did you buy them last year? Did n’t you think it was fun for Gle's board to approve the acquisition?
Seeing Jobs's expression of thinking, Adrian's tone was also eager: "Think about the situation, Steve, Apple first introduced the personal computer and achieved great success, and it is still a high-end product today. , Is still the first choice for people to buy a personal computer, but when it comes to operating systems, the first thing that comes to mind is Microsoft. The closed oS system is indeed very stable, but it also compromises the low-end market with Microsoft. Do you want this A scene re-enacted on a smartphone? "
Having said that, he suddenly changed the subject: "I always reminded you not to rely entirely on Samsung, but you hardly listened. Now, with this ..."
Adrian shook the ne mockup in his hand: "I want to ask you, Steve, do you know that Samsung also makes mobile phones? If they eat the structure of ne in the process of being an Apple supplier, then launch You own your smartphone and use an open source operating system. At the same time threaten Apple to either pay more or switch to another supplier. How do you choose? "
"I admit that you said so much. This is the most threatening thing in the end." After raising his eyebrows, Jobs finally opened his mouth. "But in other respects, it is not a big deal. Or you want to tell me that you Have no confidence in Apple's future, do you, Ed? "
"Yes." Adrian looked at him. Give a positive answer, "You're right, Jobs, I have no confidence in Apple's future."
There was a flash of mischief in Jobs's eyes. But before speaking, Adrian has said aloud: "I think you should figure out one thing, Steve. I have never invested in Apple, and I have always invested in Steve Jobs. , Steve Jobs, the workaholic, arrogant, narcissistic, but also a genius! "
He stood up sharply, waving his arms and seemed very excited: "Although I have said so much and raised so many bad prospects, I fully believe that as long as there is a Steve Jobs, as long as this genius, There are lunatics and lunatics, Apple never has to worry about anything! Apple will always stride forward! No matter how many people, whatever methods they want to catch up with, it will not care, it will only throw them far away, their own The back is left to others, the apple with Steve Jobs is the real apple, the real industry giant! "
What is the highest state of touts? That is, you obviously use a lot of bad words on the other person, but the other person still feels very useful.
"As long as you're still Apple, as long as you're in charge of Apple, I won't say this at all, but" Adrian calmed down and stared at Jobs. "What if you're gone someday?"
"Oh?" Jobs pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, but said nothing.
"We all know your situation, don't we?" Adrian pointed out directly. "Although it's a bit offensive to say this, I have to consider everything, don't I? So let's suppose, Steve, let's do it again, You announced that you need to leave Apple temporarily due to physical reasons, and you are expected to return after 3 to 6 months. Guess how much Apple will fall in response? I bet at least 10%. "
He opened his hands and raised his head, but Jobs sat still and said nothing.
"What if you don't have an apple like retirement?" Adrian didn't care, and continued, "Let me tell you, Steve, first of all, the stock will inevitably fall to a certain degree, which is unavoidable; Then, Apple will maintain the current momentum because the inertia is huge; then, people will start to question, opponents will start to target, and Apple will do everything to maintain its position and stifle competitors, such as chamfering this or something Apply for a patent; in the end, if Apple can survive it and find a successor who has only half of your ability, you will get a new life, otherwise the giant will collapse. "
Adrian spread his hand, and although a tail was left there, he believed that Jobs would not fail to understand what he meant. When he left, almost everyone knew what happened to Apple, and this was where Adrian's words were most convincing.
"All you have to do is open source, even if it is only a part, a small part, as long as it can integrate this market, if anyone wants to share, we must first ask our opinions, and Apple has a brighter future," Adrian seriously Looking at Jobs, "Don't tell me anything about Apple's traditions, have you made a lot of changes?"
"I admit that your worry is justified, and your portrayal is very attractive, Ed," After thinking for a long time, Jobs, holding his arms, finally opened his mouth, and saw that he was a little tempted, but promised but not Adrie. Ann wanted it.
"But, I refuse," he said, raising his head in an unquestionable tone.
"... why?" Adrian, who was full of confidence, froze for a moment. Some looked at Jobs in disbelief.
"You said, as long as I'm still at Apple, don't worry, right?" Jobs, with his hands folded in front of him, looked at him calmly. "As for the assumption that I'm gone, if there is one day, I believe I will stay Give Apple a rich legacy. If they can't survive the situation, and they can't support Apple, then go bankrupt. "
The eyes behind the glasses shone. At this moment, he and the commander in one of the animations, who would just sit behind the desk and let the glasses flash, looked quite alike.
"He really said that to you?" Claude couldn't help laughing.
"He really said that to me." Adrian nodded helplessly and depressed. "This is really ... a major setback."
He considered the way he spoke, the plot he described, the way he stirred up Jobs' emotions, and considered all the details, but he did not expect that this guy would be proud or insist on his belief to this extent. If you ca n’t survive it, then go bankrupt? It's really mighty. Why don't you just say that build from me and destroy from me? !!
He really wanted to ask that question at the time, but eventually he resisted and did not lobby. Adrian and Steve Jobs have also had a lot of dealings. It is clear that certain things will not change once the other party decides.
It's too bad, it's too bad. Adrian could not help but sigh again. For more than a decade, he has become accustomed to the fact that he can get results every time he lobbyes. It does not mean that he is proud. Every time he wants to lobby, he will make thorough preparations, let alone know that Jobs is not good at talking. I especially thought about it repeatedly, but did not expect to hit the wall severely, or there is no room for maneuver. It's a hell, Jobs, he's got a heartbeat.
You know, unifying the standard of the smart phone operating system was also set by him long ago. One of the most wanted things to do is to suffer such a blow, and frustration is inevitable.
"Unifying the smartphone operating system is really so important?" Claude asked at the moment. "I know a little bit. As the largest and most profitable mobile phone manufacturer at present, Nokia does not seem to be optimistic about smartphones."
"So they are destined to go downhill." Adrian waved his hand. "You've seen ne, too, Crowe, tell me how it feels."
"Well ... as an ordinary person, this kind of mobile phone with a lot of functions in one, but not too complicated is very useful." Claude answered after thinking about it.
"Yes, this is the same as the website. The user experience is very important, and ne does a good job," Adrian nodded. "For modern people, the more features, the better, the simpler the better. To solve all problems with one button, it is better not to design two buttons. In addition, the system of ne is closed. Although it is not friendly to unsupported software, it is also easier to use from another perspective. Provide third-party software that they can easily download without having to consider compatibility issues. "
"In that case, Jobs's rejection of open source is understandable." Claude shrugged.
"Yes, I understand, but I don't accept that we could have used this to set standards that would affect the entire industry!" Adrian waved his fist. "Can you imagine the way we say movies are going to be shot Does anyone have to shoot the scene that way? "
"Certainly, aren't you just like that now?" Claude Haha laughed, then raised his hands in Adrian's white eyes, "Well, I understand your mood as well, Ed, this is indeed an opportunity, If the smartphone really develops as you say. But it's not a big deal to be rejected. We are all familiar with Steve Jobs' style, let alone gle, Samsung. We all have shares, and we will not lose money in the end. "
Hearing this, Adrian could not help raising his eyebrows. Well, it seems that he really overlooked something. With Steve Jobs' control as much as his own, would he agree to this requirement that he could not dominate? Moreover, even Claude, the judgement made on him must be verified again and again, let alone Steve Jobs! But what he said will not be confirmed until a few years later, and now it can only be guessed, and it is still slightly speculative.
Although Jobs rejected it out of his own conviction and pride, it is impossible to make the above impact.
"Well, change the subject," Adrian waved. "Say something that makes me happy."
Anyway, Jobs has made it clear that no matter how unwilling he can only give up, there is no need to care about it. Claude is right, no matter what, the media will not suffer.
"What do you want to hear? Oh, by the way, Airbus's a380 will finish sailing around the world at the end of the year, and it will probably be officially launched next year. Don't you always care about this model. Do you want to change to a larger private jet? Wait for the first half of the year Or you can place an order for more than half a year. "Claude said something thought.
"It was assembled in 2004, but it took more than two years to complete all the tests. This efficiency is too ... let's talk about it, isn't Boeing developing 7478." Adrian shrugged.
"Well, there is one more thing ..." Claude said halfway but stopped. "Forget it, I haven't even figured it out yet, let's talk about it when we have preliminary results."
"No problem, just remember to inform me." Adrian did not follow up. Then he stood up, "I'm going to find someone to comfort my broken heart now, and I'll leave it to you."
Claude rolled his eyes immediately.
Although I gave up the idea of ​​integrating the smart phone operating system, my heart was still somewhat depressed. Naturally you need to find some fun, and some exciting fun, and there is exactly one now.
"Yes, I know. I ... will notice ... It's okay, you have to ... be careful ..." Erin Nordgreen, lying on the sofa with her body half-sided, held the phone and tried to control her tone. In order to make myself tremble because of the impact from behind. And deep inside, the thrilled and twisted voice is not so obvious.
Her clothes were messed up, her bra was pulled down, a pair was exposed softly, one leg rested on the man's shoulder behind her, and her leg was hanging on the calf of this leg.
"Family is fine ... don't worry ... um ..." She couldn't help it, finally, holding her phone and taking a few breaths, as if she could make the fire in her body slightly less.
Of course, this is only temporary. When the flames burn again, it will not be contained in this way, but there is no doubt that Irene likes it very much. She turned her head, released the phone and raised 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 ... uh ... that ... I will ... Ah!" Irene suddenly exclaimed, and her eyes became so dizzy at that moment that she was almost desperate. Fortunately, she finally controlled herself.
"It's okay, Josephine was here, and the sudden appearance scared me." Irene said, taking a chance to breathe twice, "Will you talk to her?"
Then she handed the phone to Josephine kneeling in front of the sofa. Compared with Irene, Josephine who raised her head had no cover at all. Her face was flushed, and there was a trace of water stains on the corners of her mouth. After taking a steady breath, he took it over: "Hi, Tiger, is there anything wrong?"
She said so, her hand reaching in from the bottom of the skirt hadn't stopped for a moment, her eyes even looked at the two people who had increased the range of action before blinking.
"Okay, I know, that's it, I still have something." Two or three sentences sent Tiger Woods over there, and Josephine immediately posted it after hanging up.
Irene also followed at this time, and the twins of Nordgreen's family were entangled with the man, and it was only Adrian who could make the sisters behave like this.
He had no psychological burden at all, because it was Irene's voluntary invitation. Although it was through Josephine, although he didn't say it explicitly, when Adrian came to her house, those teases were real. She even took the initiative to talk to Woods while talking on the phone.
"You seem to hate him, Irene?" After picking her up from behind, Adrian deliberately asked in her ears like this.
"Of course I hate him," Breathing Irene didn't have the slightest scruples. "Sweet words before marriage, just five months after marriage ... he started outside ... fooling around with other women, and more than one! I can Sure, just now ... he was in a woman's room, and he spent the night in Las Vegas for that woman! "
She turned her head and smiled and hooked Adrian's neck with her arms: "So that's it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I can find another man, Josephine respects you, Ed."
This is the consequence of not having the corresponding power and countermeasures, but having to scrabble everywhere, and because of this, Adrian never refused to promise his woman a marriage. However, although the Shuangfei Nordgreen twins are very cool, the quality of the two sisters is quite good, but occasionally it is enough to play, after all, the two sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Don't say anything, but see how Irene Nordgreen played dumb deafness with Woods outside, and you will know what her personality is, let alone Adrian has a lot of information about her. How to come to know Woods from Sweden. Similarly, Josephine Nordgreen was placed in an internship at a cooperative law firm after joining him. It didn't take long for him to become an official assistant and participate in several cases to improve on the name recommended by Adrian. Knowing his fame in the circle, but also doing it right, he did not disgusted the office, but passed it to Adrian's ears and only shrugged him.
So be careful, only caution will not capsize in the gutter. Of course, if they can have more handles, Adrian would not mind trying more, after all, this is very good for the twins. (To be continued ...)
