When he showed up and hugged each other, everyone immediately gathered around to watch. Some people were whispering and talking, wondering why he came here.
Although he is the largest shareholder, Su Yehao does not have much presence within Apple.
Apple's computer and office software business has been half-dead for many years, and its subsidiary Apple Smart has been divided separately. This has caused the importance of Apple itself to drop two or three levels in Su Yehao's eyes, and he is too lazy to intervene on weekdays.
It can be said that the era of mobile terminals that really made Apple rise has been replaced by Su Yehao, turning Apple from a leader to a vassal.
Today, Apple is only responsible for helping to develop operating systems. Su Yehao holds the majority shareholding and decision-making power of its subsidiary Apple Intelligence.
After all, he was the first to come up with the idea of building a smart phone, so it was reasonable for him to become the leading party. Even the wily Jobs did not realize the problem and thought he was smart enough to jump on the bandwagon.
But I didn’t expect that this car was supposed to be Apple’s own car…
Su Yehao has been to Apple headquarters before, but he still can't remember how to get there.
I found a blond white girl dressed as a secretary and asked her to lead the way and took the elevator upstairs.
"What's the use of having a large scale? People will only say that Buffett can earn as much as he wants by employing a dozen or twenty people, blah blah blah, is it so difficult to admit that I am excellent?"
He sat on Steve Jobs's sofa, minding his own business, and picked up today's newspaper.
Overall.
"The company can still carry out its work normally without you. Just like me, with so many companies under my control, I can still give myself a whole day off."
The Steve Jobs sitting in front of him looked like two completely different people from the famous "godfather of technology" in Su Yehao's impression.
"I am already preparing. If something unexpected happens to me, Cook will be a very good CEO. You know, I have had the experience of being driven out of the company I founded by investors, so I will inevitably be a little worried about the shareholders.
If the worst happens regarding excessive power, I hope you can assure me that the balance of the company's board of directors will not be destroyed by then."
Finding that Su Yehao was obviously not going to leave his office, Jobs was a little helpless. He personally made a pot of black tea and brought it over, saying:
If it weren't for Su Yehao's heavy position in Apple stocks, Wall Street investors would have almost forgotten the existence of Apple, leaving only a few niche investors who would pay attention to Apple's latest trends.
Su Yehao said seriously:
"No matter how strong the spirit is, it will be weighed down by the physical body. Therefore, Buddhism emphasizes going to the Western Paradise after death. God's heaven can only be entered after death. What I mean is that even if you meditate, it is useless. If you are sick, you still need to be treated quickly.
That's right, in fact, if everyone had regular physical examinations every year, many diseases would no longer be dangerous. You must not have participated in the company's free physical examinations, right?"
Steve Jobs was quite unlucky. In his early years, the media frequently made old accusations and compared him with Bill Gates.
now.
Compared with the last time we met, this boss in his previous life was obviously much thinner, his beard and hair were white, and his spirit was a bit haggard.
As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, Jobs rolled his eyes and replied:
If this thing works, the average life expectancy in India will not be far lower than that in developed areas.
Even out of love for talents, Su Yehao did not want the person in front of him to die too early.
"Maybe, I don't want to take risks. Come with me to the R&D laboratory later and you will know how good the next Apple products are. This company is not your emoji group and does not have countless fanatical investors.
The money on the books is only enough to fail two or three times at most, and I don’t want it to sink again.”
It's actually right when you think about it.
pity.
If he could be persuaded so easily, Jobs would not be the tyrant that others see him as.
After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, Jobs kept it secret, and even Su Yehao only found out about it later.
Jobs stood up slowly and told:
"Didn't anyone tell you that due to the flight delay, the three directors who went out for the meeting had no time to return to the company and the meeting was postponed for two hours? I know my body well. It doesn't have a big problem for the time being, and the company
I’ve been quite busy lately.”
"Then have you ever thought that maybe Apple will become even better in my hands? There is no bad corporate management system, only bad decision-makers. Steve, it took you several years to bring Apple from the brink of bankruptcy."
After rescuing the company and making the company's finances healthy, it's time to flex its muscles."
Annoyed by Su Yehao's verbosity.
Without waiting for an answer, he added again: "I'm only in my twenties and I've already taken care of my health. Steve, you'd better go for the surgery as soon as possible. Cancer is not a cold. It won't do you any good if you continue to delay."
No."
"If I remember correctly, some media said that the size of your family office has exceeded a thousand people, which is several times larger than other family offices."
Jobs opened his eyes.
Success once or twice may still be described as luck, but that is obviously not the case now.
In fact, his pancreatic cancer has a very high possibility of being cured in the early stage. After it was discovered last year, Jobs dragged him away from surgical removal. This behavior seemed particularly baffling to Su Yehao.
Although the two were allies and partners, Jobs did not want to discuss these private matters with Su Yehao.
Su Yehao is not polite.
Jobs knew his temper. If such a lazy rich man were under his command, he would have been kicked out of the company long ago. However, Su Yehao was so leisurely and leisurely, and the investment projects he chose could always bring extremely impressive returns.
The computer market has long been divided up by many brands, and the market share left for Apple is only about 3%. Even if it wants to be aggressive, there is no good way. It is good to be able to defend the basic market.
Go to bed when you are sleepy, eat when you are hungry, and treat yourself when you are sick... These should be common sense, but Jobs did not take the usual path.
Su Yehao only smiled and said:
Nowadays, the reporters don't even bother to compare. The gap between the two sides is too huge in terms of the scale of the company they manage and their personal worth.
When he knocked on the door and entered the office, he found that Jobs was still doing yoga, sitting cross-legged, basking in the sun and meditating with his eyes closed.
It was diagnosed at the end of last year, but it has been postponed for five to six months. I heard that not only did I not listen to the doctor, but I also went to India to seek remedies from a spiritual medium.
Su Yehao smiled at this moment and said:
"No, I don't plan to listen to you. Once something happens to you, I will buy the stocks from other shareholders at a premium until I get more than 33% of the shares and become Apple's controlling shareholder. If you don't want this to happen,
Then go and receive treatment from top doctors. This is like cheating and copying the test papers during the exam. You let the students who got all A+'s in their homework not copy, but you chose to learn the homework of the Indian students. Didn't you find something wrong?"
You could guess that he was trying to persuade him to get treatment as soon as possible. Jobs didn't respond and said stubbornly: "You are discriminating. As far as I know, Indian students' academic performance is very good, second only to you Chinese."
"Who said that? I'm Chinese, but my grades are terrible."
Su Yehao did not give a good tone and added: "I am just giving an example. The top doctors and pharmaceutical companies are all in the United States. They should be able to cure you..."
