King of Hollywood

"Open source? Why?" Jobs narrowed his eyes with vigilance, and seemed very unhappy. His appearance was quite similar to that of a child who was guarding against a child who wanted to steal his toys.

"For the future." Adrian, who saw it in his eyes, immediately said with an eager affirmative tone, "There is no doubt that the future is the world of smart phones, and whoever can seize the opportunity will win the market! I may not have been able to do so before." Definitely, but after seeing your stuff today, I believe that although BlackBerry started this era, ne will definitely lead this era!" \

,"Jobs nodded indifferently, maybe he didn't even realize it, obviously these words obviously benefited him a lot.

"So what kind of opportunity should we seize?" Adrian finally brought up his real topic, "Standard! The standard of the smartphone system!"

He stretched out his hand and drew a big circle between the two: "Smartphones are a trend, and its market must be a piece of fat. If you want to have more and better possessions before others react, then develop an operating system." The standard of NE is very necessary. Ne’s experience is very good, but the system is too closed, and BlackBerry’s qualifications in the industry are too young, so when the market responds, there will inevitably be a more open system. Have you heard of the Android system? gle bought them last year, you don't think it's a bit of fun for the gle board to approve the acquisition?"" See

Seeing Jobs' expression of thinking, Adrian's tone became more eager: "Think about the situation back then, Steve, Apple launched the personal computer for the first time 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 the operating system, the first thing that comes to mind is Microsoft. The closed OS system is indeed very stable, but it also gives up the low-end market to Microsoft. Do you want this A scene re-enacted on a smartphone?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the subject: "I have been reminding you before, not to rely entirely on Samsung, but you hardly listen. Now, with this..."

Adrian shook the ne prototype in his hand: "I want to ask you, Steve, do you know that Samsung also makes mobile phones? If they understand the structure of ne in the process of being Apple's supplier, and then launch a Your own smartphone, and use an open source operating system. At the same time, threaten Apple, either pay more, or switch to other suppliers, how do you choose?"

"I admit that you have said so much, the last point is the most threatening," Jobs finally opened his mouth after raising his eyebrows, "but in other respects, it is not a big deal. Or if you want to tell me, you Not confident in Apple's future, are you, Ed?"

"Yes." Adrian looked at him. He gave an affirmative answer, "You are absolutely right, Jobs, I have no confidence in Apple's future."

A look of astonishment flashed in Jobs' eyes. But before he could speak, Adrian went on loudly: "I think you should figure out one thing, Steve. I never invested in Apple, and I never invested in Steve Jobs. , is the workaholic, megalomaniac, narcissist, but also the genius Steve Jobs!"

He stood up abruptly, waving his arms and looking very excited: "Although I have said so much and mentioned so many bad prospects, I completely believe that as long as there is a bastard like Steve Jobs, as long as there is this genius, With lunatics and crazy people, Apple will never have to worry about anything! Apple will always stride forward! No matter how many people try to catch up with them, it will not care, it will only leave them far away and its own Leave the back to others, the Apple with Steve Jobs is the real Apple and the real giant in the industry!"

What is the highest state of flattery? That is, you obviously use a lot of bad words on the other party, but the other party still finds it very useful.

"As long as you are still at Apple, as long as you are still in charge of Apple, I won't say this at all, but" Adrian, who has calmed down, stared at Jobs, "what if one day you are not here?"

"Oh?" Jobs pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, but didn't say anything.

"We all know your situation, don't we?" Adrian pointed out directly. "It's offensive to say that, but I have to consider all the circumstances, don't I? So let's just pretend, Steve, let's do it again, You announced that you need to leave Apple for the time being due to physical reasons, and you expect to return in 3 to 6 months, guess how much Apple will fall in response? I bet at least 10%.”

He opened his hands and raised his hand, but Jobs still sat there firmly and said nothing.

"What will happen to Apple if you are no longer around?" Adrian didn't care, and continued, "Let me tell you, Steve, first of all, the stock will inevitably fall to a certain level, which cannot be avoided; 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 possible to maintain its position and kill competitors, such as chamfering this corner or something Apply for a patent; in the end, if Apple can survive and find a successor who is only half as capable as you, then it will be reborn, otherwise, the giant will collapse."

Adrian spread his hands, although there was a tail behind, but he believed that Jobs would not fail to understand what he meant. After he left, almost everyone knew what happened to Apple, and this is where Adrian's remarks are most convincing.

"What you have to do is open source, even if it's just a part, a small part, as long as you can integrate this market, if someone wants to share, you have to ask our opinion first, and Apple has a brighter future," Adrian said earnestly. Looking at Jobs, "Don't talk to me about Apple's traditions, don't you also make a lot of changes?"

"I admit, your worries are justified, and your description is also very attractive, Ed." After thinking for a long time, Jobs, who folded his arms, finally opened his mouth. It could be seen that he was a little tempted, but he agreed, but it was not Adrian. Ann wants.

"But, I refuse." He raised his head and said in an unquestionable tone.

"...Why?" Adrian, who was full of confidence, was taken aback for a moment. Some looked at Jobs in disbelief.

"You said that as long as I'm still at Apple, you don't have to worry, right?" Jobs looked at him calmly with his hands folded in front of him, "As for the assumption that I'm not here, if there is such a day, I believe I will stay. Give Apple a rich legacy, if they can't survive this situation, if they can't support Apple, they should go bankrupt."

Eyes sparkle behind glasses. At this moment, he was quite similar to the commander in a certain animation who would only sit behind a desk and let his glasses shine.

"He really said that to you?" Claude couldn't help laughing.

"He really told me that." Adrian nodded helplessly and depressed, "This is really a...a major setback."

He considered the way of speaking, the plot, how to arouse Jobs' emotions, and all the details, but he didn't expect that this guy would be proud or stick to his beliefs to this extent. If you can't make it through, then go out of business? It's really mighty and domineering. Why don't you simply say that what is built from my hands is also destroyed from my hands? !

At that time, he really wanted to ask such a question, but in the end he held back and did not continue to lobby. Adrian and Jobs have dealt with not less. It is very clear that once the other party decides on some things, they will not change.

Too bad, really too bad. Adrian couldn't help but sighed again. For more than ten years, he has been used to achieving results every time he lobbied. It is not that he is proud. He will make careful preparations every time he wants to lobby, let alone knowing that Jobs is not easy to talk this time. I have thought about it repeatedly, but I didn't expect to hit the wall hard, or the kind with no room for maneuver. What the hell, that Jobs guy obviously had a heart attack.

You know, unifying the standard of the smartphone operating system is also one of the things he has set down a long time ago, and he wants to do it the most. It is inevitable to be frustrated by this kind of blow.

"Is it really so important to unify the smartphone operating system?" Crowder asked at this moment. "I have a little understanding. As the largest and most profitable mobile phone manufacturer, Nokia doesn't seem to be very optimistic about smartphones."

"So they are destined to go downhill." Adrian waved his hand, "You have also seen ne, Klaue, tell me how it feels."

"Well... for ordinary people, this kind of mobile phone with many functions in one, but not too complicated is easy to use." Claude replied after thinking about it.

"That's right, just like a website, user experience is very important, and ne does a good job," Adrian nodded, "For modern people, the more functions the better, the simpler the better. If you use one button to solve all the problems, it is better not to design two buttons. In addition, ne’s system is closed, although it is very unfriendly to unsupported software, but it is also easier to use from another perspective, as long as the platform continues to Provide third-party software, and they can download it easily, without having to consider issues such as compatibility."

"In this case, it is understandable that Jobs refused to open source." Crowder shrugged.

"Yes, I understand, but I don't accept it, you know we could have used this to set standards that affect the entire industry!" Adrian waved his fist, "Can you imagine which way we said that the movie should be shot, Do other people have to use which method to shoot the scene?"

"Of course, isn't that what you are doing now?" Claude laughed, and then raised his hands in Adrian's white eyes, "Well, I also understand your feelings, Ed, this is indeed an opportunity, If the smart phone really develops as you said. But it’s no big deal to be rejected, we are all familiar with the style of Jobs, and whether it is gle or Samsung, we all have shares, and we will not suffer after all.”

Hearing this, Adrian couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Well, it seems that he has indeed overlooked something. With Jobs's controlling desire no less than his own, he will agree to this request that he cannot dominate ? Moreover, even if it is Claude, the judgment he made must be checked again and again before he will act, let alone Steve Jobs! However, what he said will not be confirmed until several years later, and now it can only be regarded as speculation, and it is still a slight guess.

Although Jobs refused out of his own conviction and arrogance, it is impossible for the above to have no impact.

"Okay, change the subject," Adrian waved his hand. "How about saying something that makes me happy."

In any case, Jobs has clearly expressed his refusal, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only give up, and there is no need to worry 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 complete its round-the-world voyage at the end of the year, and it will be officially launched next year. You haven't been concerned 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 in half a year." Claude said thinking of something.

"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 later, isn't Boeing developing the 7478?" Adrian shrugged.

"By the way, there is one more thing..." Claude stopped in the middle of speaking, "Forget it, I haven't even figured out the clue yet, let's talk about it when we have the preliminary results."

"No problem, just remember to notify me." Adrian didn't ask. Immediately stood up, "Anyway, I'm going to find someone to comfort my broken heart now, and I'll leave it to you here."

Claude immediately rolled his eyes.

Although I gave up the idea of ​​integrating the smartphone operating system, I was somewhat depressed. Naturally there was a need to have some fun, some exciting fun, and there happened to be one right now.

"Yes, I know. I... will pay attention... it's okay, you have to... be careful..." Irene Nordegren, who was lying on the sofa half sideways, grabbed the phone and tried her best to control her tone , in order to let myself tremble continuously with the impact force coming from behind my body. And a surge of pleasure deep in my heart, and the distorted voice is not so obvious.

Her clothes were messed up, her bra was pulled down, a pair of soft exposed, one leg was placed on the shoulder of the man behind her, and the panties hung on the calf of this leg.

"Home is fine...don't worry...well..." She finally couldn't help it, and took a few breaths of air-conditioning forcefully, as if this could lighten the fire of desire in her body a little.

Of course, this is only temporary, and when the flames burn again, it cannot be contained like this, but there is no doubt that Irene likes it very much. She turned her head, let go of the phone and raised it to her ear, then licked the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue and winked at the man behind her.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I will... um... that... I will... ah!" Irene suddenly exclaimed, her eyes became extremely dizzy at that moment, almost desperate , Fortunately, she finally controlled herself.

"It's okay, Josephine is here, I was taken aback by her sudden appearance." Irene said, taking this opportunity to pant twice, "Do you want to talk to her?"

Then she handed the mobile phone to Josephine who was kneeling in front of the sofa. Compared with Irene, Josephine who raised her head had no cover at all, her face was blushing, and there was a trace of water stain at the corner of her mouth. After taking a steady breath, he took it over: "Hi, Tiger, what's the matter?"

As she said this, her hand that was stretched in from the bottom of her skirt didn't stop for a moment, and her eyes even looked at the two people who increased their movements in front of her without blinking.

"Okay, I got it, that's it, I have something to do." Two or three sentences sent Tiger Woods over there, and Josephine posted it immediately after hanging up.

Irene also stood up at this time, and the twins of the Nordgren family immediately entangled with the man desperately. Only Adrian could make the sisters behave like this.

He didn't have any psychological burden at all, because Irene took the initiative to invite her. Even though it was through Josephine, even though she didn't say it clearly, after Adrian came to her house, the teasing was real. She even took the initiative to do the exciting thing of talking to Woods on the phone while being lingering.

"You seem to hate him, Irene?" After hugging her from behind, Adrian asked in her ear on purpose.

"Of course I hate him," gasped Irene without the slightest scruples, "before marriage, he talked sweetly, and after marriage...only five months later, he started outside... fooling around with other women, and more than one! I can Sure, just now... he was in some woman's room, and it was for that woman that he spent the night in Las Vegas!"

She turned her head and smiled charmingly, wrapping her arms around Adrian's neck: "In this case, I can also find another man, Josephine admires you very much, Ed."

This is the consequence of wanting to make trouble everywhere without corresponding power and countermeasures, and it is precisely because of this that Adrian has never promised himself a woman's marriage. However, although the Shuangfei Nordgren twins are very cool, the quality of the two sisters is quite good, but it is enough to play occasionally, after all, these two sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Not to mention anything else, but look at how Eileen Nordegren pretended to be deaf and dumb to Woods messing around outside, and you will know what kind of character she is, not to mention that Adrian has a lot of stories about her being How to get to know Woods and intelligence from Sweden. Similarly, after Josephine Nordegren caught up with him, she was arranged to intern in a law firm with a cooperative relationship. It didn't take long for her to become an official assistant with the name recommended by Adrian and participated in the promotion of several cases. Not only did he not resent his reputation in the industry, but he did it just right, and it didn't make the firm disgusted, and it only made him shrug his shoulders when it reached Adrian's ears.

So be careful, only by being cautious can you not capsize in the gutter. Of course, if you can have more handles on them, Adrian doesn't mind trying more, after all, these twins are very good. (to be continued...)
