As the big boss who proposes to hold a crazy party, Apple is a well-deserved protagonist. Wang Yaocheng is indispensable for this party no matter what.
After all, Apple's turnaround has increased his wealth by more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, so he has to attend this grand party for both reason and reason.
He didn't want to go to the scene wearing cold and hard armor and walk like a tinkling tin man. That would be really inferior, and all characters wearing armor would be excluded.
The images in Disney animation are childish, with a distinct style of good guys and bad guys.
There are really not many choices for men, and there are very few adult roles.
It would be much better if it were Marvel animation. Superman, Thor, Spider-Man, Flash, Deadpool, Wolverine, etc. can all be dressed up, and the choices are very wide.
There are many Disney girl images, including Snow White, Princess Cinderella, Princess Aurora, Princess Ariel, Princess Belle, Princess Jasmine, Princess Pocahontas, Princess Mulan, Princess Tiana, Princess Rapunzel and Princess Merida, as well as
You can choose from Mermaid or "The Little Match Girl".
It is completely foreseeable that this "Disney Mysterious Night" carnival party will be a grand scene where the princesses gather together.
Relatively speaking, men have far fewer choices.
If you don't want to dress up as a prince, king or Popeye, and then remove the armored animated characters, there are not many options left, such as Indian Chief, Doctor Strange, The Seven Dwarfs, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, "Beauty and the Beast"
》, Peter Pan, etc.
Now, after Pixar Animation was merged into the Disney Company, its animated characters can also dress up and attend parties.
For example, Buzz Lightyear and Cowboy Woody in "Toy Story", the little ants and grasshoppers in "A Bug's Life", or fairy tale characters wearing hoods.
"Miss Cetelina, have you brought my costume?"
"It will be ironed soon."
a while
Miss Cetelina hurried over with a set of Peter Pan costumes, and with an unconcealable smile on her face, handed it to Wang Yaocheng, who was a little distressed.
"Your Excellency, this is already a blessing among misfortunes. All you need to do is bring a thin sword with you. Oh... by the way, there are two transparent wings behind your back."
"Can I not have these two transparent wings?"
"Your Excellency, Peter Pan would be confused with the Shepherd Boy. This is what happens at costume parties."
"Would it look silly?"
"Compared to others, it's okay. You don't want to dress up as Buzz Lightyear or Pluto the big dog. As for the Seven Dwarfs, tsk tsk tsk... that taste is too strong."
Miss Cetelina's perspective of appreciation is obviously different, and she does not agree with the seven dwarfs who live with Snow White.
Uh...okay.
Wang Yaocheng pinched his nose and accepted the explanation, and slowly put on his clothes. Miss Cetelina looked around, put on the pointed soft hat on her hand, and said with satisfaction;
"Look! This is the most handsome Peter Pan I have ever seen. He looks very mature and manly."
Wang Yaocheng still questioned. "This doesn't seem to be a compliment to Peter Pan."
Cetelina said confidently, "The mature Peter Pan is also Peter Pan, which is better than the childish version. Well, at least he looks tall, strong, and very secure."
Wang Yaocheng???
Nightfall
The five-star Peninsula Hotel is brightly lit
Apple has booked the entire grand banquet hall on the second floor, the small banquet hall and bar on the third floor, and the KTV Playboy Nightclub on the fourth floor. Walking into the gorgeous lobby is like entering the Disney world.
in the hall
The party company arranged for people to play Mickey and Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh and Bludo, many dolls, and even a snow-covered castle on the spiral staircase.
Here, it seems to have become a fairy tale kingdom.
just a moment
Wang Yaocheng saw a dozen dwarfs, nine princes, three Don Quixotes, four Popeye, and dozens of princesses entering the venue through the inspection of the protocol channel.
Some families go out as a whole family. The couple and several children dress up as Bambi and Winnie the Pooh, which looks very warm and cute.
More men bring close female companions, so you can see the dwarfs with Snow White, Queen Elsa with Popeye, Alibaba with Pocahontas, and Goofy with Cinderella's waist. It feels completely different.
Reliable.
Enter the venue
Wang Yaocheng soon saw acquaintances, Jobs dressed as Doctor Strange and Merck dressed as a king. For this sixty-year-old senior partner of Goldman Sachs, it was really not a good idea to attend a Disney-themed dress-up party.
"Hey, King Merck of the Goldman Sachs Kingdom, are you going to wear new clothes to inspect your subjects?"
"Boss King, hey! I don't have a hobby of exposure, and I don't want to see my embarrassing story in the entertainment section of "The Sun". It's too noisy here. I stand here like an idiot. Let's find a quiet place."
Let’s chat.”
"But...the carnival party has just begun! Today's jackpot is a Lamborghini sports car and a kiss from Miss New York. Aren't you tempted?"
"Let him go to hell! I am interested in Lamborghini shares, but the Italians are unwilling to sell."
Merck was in a good mood. Several people entered the quiet VIP box. He casually took off the crown from his head and threw it on the coffee table, muttering;
"This damn plastic ring gives me a headache. Who can believe it if I tell you? I have seen more princesses today than I have in my whole life, and they are all women with half of their breasts and thighs exposed. If others didn't introduce me, I would have thought...
Arrived at Hawaii Beach.”
Wang Yaocheng also felt helpless about this; "So, it is not a good idea to bring children to the carnival. It is best to leave early."
Due to the close intertwining of interests, Merck and Wang Yaocheng have been close friends for many years. In the development of Wang's consortium, Goldman Sachs has always played the role of matchmaker and investment partner, and has benefited a lot.
Merck's wealth has also grown rapidly over the past decade, becoming a tycoon with a net worth of nearly US$6 billion, ranking 97th on the global wealth list, which in turn has promoted closer relations between the two parties.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the conversation got down to business.
"...So, Apple is preparing to launch Mac computers powered by Intel microprocessors, running Microsoft Windows XP software Boot Camp, which simplifies the task of Apple Madows, has step-by-step guidance, and users can also choose
Whether you use Mac OS X or Windows, we provide you with diverse choices.”
There was a crisp sound of "pop...".
When Jobs was introducing the new computer product he was about to launch, Wang Yaocheng's face turned dark and he put the champagne in his hand heavily on the coffee table, interrupting Jobs.
"Jobs, are you ready to go to war with me?"
The weight of these words was so heavy that Jobs choked back all the words he said next. Looking at Wang Yaocheng who was on the verge of rage, he was speechless.
"King BOSS, we have all been good friends for many years. I think Jobs will definitely have a reasonable explanation." Merck acted as a co-ordinator in the middle and patiently mediated; "We can listen to his reasons, it only takes a few minutes."
.”
"Okay... Just tell me, Steve. Remember, you only have this one chance."
Wang Yaocheng let out a long sigh of anger and made a decision almost instantly;
If Jobs dares to challenge his bottom line again, he must be beaten to death, no matter how high the price is.
Damn it, it was so fun to jump around.
The atmosphere in the small conference room seemed to be frozen, which made Jobs, who had been trying to challenge Wang Yaocheng's authority, uneasy. He knew that he might really be wrong and put the relationship between the two parties in danger.
Needless to say, this hasty challenge has already lost Wang Yaocheng's trust and brought the relationship between the two parties to a freezing point.
Chambers did the same thing a few years ago, but was severely retaliated against. The consequences made Chambers heartbroken, and he no longer dared to challenge the boss's bottom line.
Why do smart and capable people always do such irrational things?
Because whenever the financial investors who control the majority of the equity do not participate in corporate management, the company's top management team will always try to challenge the other party's bottom line and establish the authority of the management team. That is, Jobs wants to confirm his unique authoritative position in Apple.
Chambers is at Cisco, Ma Yun is at Alibaba, Ma is at Little Penguin, Wang Shi is at Vanke, and Steve Jobs is at Apple. It is the same. Both sides are looking for their own bottom line in the game and slowly finding a balance.
The problem is that the domineering Wang Yaocheng will never allow wanton provocation. He treats his enemies cruelly and cold-bloodedly, and will definitely put them to death without leaving any consequences.
Whether it is Samsung Electronics, TSMC or Hynix, including now Nokia and Motorola,
Both people present knew Wang Yaocheng's tough character. Merck looked at Jobs with a worried expression and sighed silently. He was quite unfavorable about Jobs's mantis blocking the car.
The matter is plain;
Because of the acquisition of Pixar Animation, Jobs's net worth increased sharply.
He is now the largest individual shareholder of the Disney Company and has become a billionaire with a wealth of more than 5 billion US dollars, but his assets are simply not comparable to Wang Yaocheng.
Jobs' biggest mistake was to give up his equity in Apple and the tens of billions of dollars of wealth at his fingertips.
But Wang Yaocheng is completely different;
As a successful man who stands at the pinnacle of wealth, Wang Yaocheng has built a business empire that has grown in strength, controls assets worth trillions of dollars, and has unparalleled decisive influence in many fields.
The two sides are not on the same level. Unless a miracle occurs, Steve Jobs will definitely die miserably.
In a mature business society, wealth is directly proportional to voice and social influence. It is possible that Jobs overestimated his own strength.
In the end, both sides suffer a lose-lose situation. As a friend of many years, Mr. Merck does not want to see it at all.
