Age of Dreams

Jobs was very baffled. His first reaction was that he heard it wrong, and his second reaction was that Xiao Qi ate too much.

There was something wrong with his pancreas. He had an operation two years ago. After he got better, he stopped the treatment and continued to work endlessly.

As everyone knows, rest is necessary after a serious illness. Jobs was not only tired, but also overworked, and his body could not get effective rest. Coupled with the limitations of Western medicine for physical recovery, it was only five years later that Jobs was completely worn down. , let him go to meet his God ahead of time.

Jobs is now much thinner than the fat-faced man before. Everyone thought it was a natural phenomenon after the illness, but they didn't know that this was a sign that the illness had begun to spread and worsen.

Now everyone thinks that Chief Qiao is thin enough, but if Xiao Qi draws his appearance in five years, everyone will think that Chief Qiao's figure is very standard now.

It was replaced by Paul from Microsoft. If he had this kind of illness, he must have gone to cooperate with the treatment and recuperate in the best environment. This guy finally recovered with an optimistic attitude and the best treatment conditions. Yes, he lived longer than Chief Qiao.

But Jobs is different. This super workaholic is busy with work every day, and spends every day in anxiety and irritability.

In this environment, healthy and good people will get sick, not to mention Jobs, a patient who has not recovered from the original, which caused his anger to be strong and directly caused liver problems.

Therefore, the more successful Apple is, the thinner Jobs everyone sees, and finally it is the farewell step.

Of course, neither Jobs nor the people of the world thought that that day would come so soon, nor would they know the ambush of the serious illness. It has already started at this time.

Jobs thought that he could carry it through with his own willpower, and everyone thought that there was nothing that could stop Joe.

Therefore, Jobs was very disgusted with Xiao Qi's gesticulation, even if it was such gesticulation with concern: "What do you mean? What does my physical condition have to do with our cooperation?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Xiao Qi said seriously: "Without Jobs, Apple would have no future. Naturally, I would not cooperate with a company that has no future."

Jobs raised his eyebrows, and said with a stern face, "You said I would die in two or three years?"

Xiao Qi didn't speak.

What he just said was from the heart. Look at the situation of Tim Cook as the CEO of Apple after Jobs arrived in heaven: Apple’s market share continued to decline, causing Apple’s stock price to almost halve. The empire laid down the altar, and since then it has been on the same level as Samsung and other manufacturers.

It's not that Tim Cook is incompetent, on the contrary, he is very capable. He has been assisting Joe Gang a few years ago, handling more than one-third of Apple's work. But he still couldn't replace Jobs at all.

Some people are everything to a company.

Jobs is the soul of the entire Apple. Without his Apple, there is really no way to stand out from the crowd.

"Don't worry, I won't die so soon." Jobs pondered for a while, and said, "I will definitely not die until I bring Apple to the top! I want to see Apple succeed!"

In the previous life. Jobs really did it.

The unprecedented success of iphone, ipad, ipod, and imac let people witness the process of him becoming the emperor of the world's number one electronic kingdom. It was also after fulfilling his wish that his strong willpower stopped functioning, and he finally left this world peacefully.

He thought that Xiao Qi was worried about the future cooperation with Apple, but Xiao Qi never thought about it that way.

"Stephen, my condition is not an order. It's a request." The boy said like this.

"Ok?"

"As a senior iPhone fan and Apple fan, I look forward to having a great rival and friend besides me in the smart electronics industry in the future." Xiao Qi said to him sincerely: "So, please Take care of your own body. Don’t let Apple have no one at the helm, and don’t let me win too easily by myself. The days without opponents will be very lonely.”

"Hahaha……"

Jobs laughed.

After a while, he took off his glasses after laughing enough, and slowly wiped them off: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao Qi, the father of smart electronics who created the dream pad, is actually a fan of our iPhone, or a senior fan... …Should I say thank you and say it's an honor?"

He doesn't believe Xiao Qi's words, the iPhone hasn't been released yet, so where are there any senior fans?

As far as Apple fans are concerned, there are not many innovative products from Apple, and ipods are rarely sold in China. He can't see any Apple fans in China.

As everyone knows, Xiao Qi is talking about the past life, not the present life.

Regarding this, Xiao Qi also laughed, "Buddhism pays attention to fate. If I have no fate with the iPhone, how can you explain that there are so many functions similar to the iPhone in my dream pad? You haven't found out who leaked the secret yet." Because there is none at all! Stephen, I am a genius, and you are even more so! But a genius needs not only a brain, but also a good body. People who are too short-lived cannot have the highest honor! Now You're only 52 years old, don't you want to run Apple for another 20 years?"

The sneer on Jobs' lips gradually dissipated.

The overlap of the functions of the dream pad and the iphone has always been a heart problem for him. Even after reaching an understanding agreement, he has not stopped pursuing it.

But just like what Xiao Qi said, countless people spent countless efforts, but none of them found any trace of leakage.

However, it was Xiao Qi's last few words that really moved Jobs.

Jobs was a person with a strong desire for control. Although he didn't have many stocks, Apple belonged to him, and no one else was allowed to spy on him.

Persisted for five or six years, and passed away after bringing Apple to its peak; compared to the temptation of being in charge of Apple for a long time, it is nothing worth mentioning.

He doesn't want to live forever, but he also hopes to be in charge of Apple as long as possible.

Before he dismissed Xiao Qi's statement, it was because he didn't believe that he couldn't survive, and he didn't believe that the serious illness could knock him down.

But seeing Xiao Qi being so serious, he hesitated a little.

"Will my condition...will it really become that serious?" Jobs' eyes rarely flashed confusion.

"Of course! This kind of illness can't be delayed. It must be treated as soon as possible, and the course of treatment must be arranged as soon as possible." Xiao Qi hurriedly chased after the victory: "Temporarily leaving is just to come back better! You just need to control the general direction of Apple. Well, isn’t there dozens of vice-chairmen to do the specific things? Believe me, Stephen, as long as you do this, you will definitely be able to control Apple for another 20 years!”

Jobs closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

Just when Xiao Qi felt that his rhetoric was useless, he suddenly opened his eyes: "What you said is true? As long as I go for treatment for a year, will I continue to cooperate with Apple forever?"

"When did I say that I will cooperate with Apple forever?" Xiao Qi was not stupid, and immediately retorted: "It's just a permanent cooperation in the dream pad app store! If you want me to cooperate with Apple all the time, you have to keep watching me, Otherwise, I might eat the apple one day!"

"It depends on whether you have that ability!" Jobs took a deep breath, and said lightly, "You won't have this opportunity within twenty years! The Fairy Company has to be careful!!"

During the speech, he had already expressed his decision.

When Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh, his heart was filled with joy.

Just like how he felt in the auditorium of Columbia University before, Xiao Qi still has that idea today.

It would be very lonely to live without Gangzhu Qiao as an opponent! (To be continued..)

ps: After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to save Gangzhu Qiao. Just as Xiao Qi thought, now that there is no leader Qiao, the mobile phone has become a pool of stagnant water again. With such an opponent and friend, it should be more interesting for the future business path!
