American Fortune Life

No. 1 Infinity Loop Road, Cupertino, Silicon Valley, California, USA, Apple headquarters, here is an Apple technology park, green space surrounds the buildings, and the design of the park is similar to that of a university. The main body of the administrative building is really not very good, not even the county-level government building in the rabbit country.

As Jobs' first protégé at the company, Cook pushed open the door to Jobs' office and walked in.

"Is there something wrong?" Jobs raised his head from various documents and asked Cook, who was already sitting across from him.

"I just received an appointment. Andy Smith wants to see you, saying that he has business and wants to have a face-to-face meeting with you." Cook nodded slightly and told Boss Joe about the matter.

"Andy Smith, in fact, I really want to meet the major shareholder of our company's tradable shares. He has been under a lot of pressure recently. I really didn't expect that he would be so respectful of Ai Crazy Phone..." said A smug smile appeared on his face.

Cook also shook his head and smiled wryly. To be honest, he didn’t have much confidence in the iCrazy mobile phone. Don’t think that the cloth will work well, but the first version of the iCrazy 1 only supports the 2G network connection provided by aT\u0026amp;amp;T, which is easy to lose. Not to mention dropped packets, the key is that the Internet is like a tortoise, comparable to the torture of dial-up Internet access back then.

Especially when the resolution of the board of directors was passed recently, Boss Joe threw out an intoxicating price. The price of 499 and 599 US dollars is simply intoxicating, which is 2-3 times the price of other products.

Cook is a product designer, and he is quite satisfied with the design of the iCrazy mobile phone, even though there is only one button on the front of the whole machine! ! ! This completely violated the multi-button design of mobile phones that were popular at the time. The bulky body completely conflicted with the concept of light and thin digital products at that time.

But he is also confident that people will fall in love with the appearance of this mobile phone, but the appearance of the mobile phone is not enough, the content is king, there are no apps for users to use, is it possible to buy it at such an expensive price just to play Phone, do you want to listen to music?

Jobs also knew about these difficulties, but he was as paranoid as he was and would not accept failure. Even if this mobile phone was a failure, he would endure it to the end. Just like the hard steel on the front with Microsoft.

He came back to Apple as a savior, how could he fail!

"Look at these newspapers today... Andy Smith has become a nonsense kid in their eyes. Could it be that this kid in their mouth has made money in a few months? Is it unearned wealth? They are all a bunch of idiots!"

Jobs grabbed the newspaper at hand and waved it in the air. On his thin face, glasses glowed, and he had a mocking expression. He had been attacked by the media a long time ago, and he knew the face of these media, well, who Let the stain on him be so unpopular.

"Inform the other party to invite Andy Smith to visit the Apple Industrial Park in my name. Since an outsider is so admiring the icrazy mobile phone, as us, we can no longer pretend to turn a blind eye. Microsoft and Nokia have ridiculed enough during this time , The second-generation machine should make samples as soon as possible, and some problems of Love Crazy 1 should be solved as soon as possible. Especially the black background, the problem of not being able to change the wallpaper, the problem of no horizontal keyboard, and the main network problem, 3G is the key. . .”

Cook left Jobs' office with a wry smile. Just now, Boss Joe was asking himself questions and answers that outsiders couldn't get in. Hey, being a younger brother under such a strong man, and controlling Yu so against the sky, you have to ask about everything CEO, it's really depressing.

Jobs in the office looked at his increasingly skinny image in the mirror, with unwillingness and firmness in his eyes. He knew very well what was going on with his body, and no matter how much money he spent, he was just letting himself survive for a while. In the limited time, he must always leave his mark on the world to make the world marvel, worship or sigh, even if he had the capital to be preserved in the history of science and technology a long time ago.

As the breeze blew, the newspaper on the table made a rustling sound. Looking at that young and handsome photo of Andy Smith, he murmured in a low voice, "He's really an interesting little guy..."

Beneath the grim picture of Andy in the newspaper was the headline "Did Money Go To Andy Smith's Brain And Make Him A Rambling Clown?"

"The age of the real smartphone has arrived, and the death knell for the traditional pseudo-smartphone has sounded! - Andy Smith"

Mockingjay Games conference room in San Francisco.

With a sunny smile on his face, Andy looked at the representatives of the three banks opposite and the teams brought behind them, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room was very strange.

In particular, the representative of the Bank of America was Lewis, the former credit account manager whom Andy had dealt with when he got the loan for the first time. Now he has been promoted to the key account manager. Representatives of the two banks were full of alertness and hostility.

Well, this one is related to a loan of 500-800 million US dollars. Looking at the asset appraisal in hand, tsk tsk, it is simply too tempting. This game company is simply a hen that lays golden eggs!

Greed was also shining in the eyes of the representatives of the other two banks. What the speculators on Wall Street could not do, but these banks had the opportunity to share the dividends of the game company Feizhang in advance. How could they not be happy and excited? .

"Everyone has already read the information in hand. This is the financial situation of our game company that can be announced to the public. Although it is not very detailed, I think it is enough for everyone to make a judgment. Our boss does not want to waste too much time on the negotiating table. So next, please write down the loan amount and interest rate of your bank. We will choose one of them as a partner. There is only one chance. If you can’t meet our requirements, then sorry, we will renegotiate with other banks. . . ”

With a calm smile on his face, Alvetrie sat in the middle seat, looked at the three bank representatives who had changed color, and said the request indifferently, the words fell, and the faces of the three bank representatives sank into ink, Looking at each other, they both saw helplessness, unwillingness and guard in each other's eyes.

To be honest, when they walked into the meeting room and saw each other, they guessed that there would be such a drama. No one is a fool, and they have experienced this kind of negotiation.

The companies that do this and give eye drops to banks are basically in a buyer's market. Banks don't have many choices, unless they don't want to make this business. If they want to win the business, they have to compete with each other at lower prices. seek!

uncomfortable? Feeling useless? Okay, you can withdraw, the other two wish to lose one opponent!

"Three, what I want to tell you is that this business is just the beginning. I am still young, and I have great ambitions. There are many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I am very nostalgic and like to cooperate with old friends. I think Mr. Lewis, the representative of Bank of America, should know best, so I am looking forward to a long-term partner among the three..."

Andy sat next to Alvetrie, with the corners of his mouth tilted slightly, he said something that made everyone look weird, and the three bank representatives on the opposite side couldn't laugh or cry, what a big bait, they are biting, biting , or bite it!
