"Boss King, let's calm down and see if it is possible to resolve this serious disagreement." Mr. Merck's interests are deeply involved with both parties. They have had a deep friendship with each other for more than ten years and are absolutely unwilling to sit back and watch the talks collapse between the two parties;
"This is a major event involving tens of billions of dollars of investment. Please don't make the decision based on emotion. Steve Jobs did a great job before, and we can't find a more suitable CEO of Apple to replace him."
The hasty decision was a real disaster for Apple.
Things are far from out of control, plans can be adjusted and changed, calm down... We must find a solution acceptable to both parties."
room
Wang Yaocheng sat down on the sofa with a sullen face. The two beautiful transparent wings on his back were immediately folded. He rested the thin sword at his waist on his lap in an irritable mood, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible.
Seeing that Wang Yaocheng did not continue to get angry, Mr. Merck knew that there was still a chance to resolve the matter.
The final concession must be made to Jobs, who has a stubborn temper, and open a gap in him.
"Look, Steve, if you are willing to accept my mediation, there is still room for negotiation, otherwise everything is over.
Chamberlain was once the basketball emperor who ruled all in the NBA. After his retirement, he became nothing more than a scandal-ridden gangster. The glory on the basketball court was taken over by Air Jordan, and the audience had forgotten about him while cheering.
Apple is a great company founded by Steve Jobs. However, after leaving Apple in the 1990s, the name Steve Jobs has long been forgotten, and it was only mentioned again in recent years.
In today's world, electronic technology is developing at a rapid pace, and no one, whether consumers or industry insiders, will remember you in a few years.
Steve Jobs, admit it!
You need the stage of Apple more than anyone else to realize your dreams."
MSD's words touched the heart of Jobs. Jobs looked up at Wang Yaocheng, who had a gloomy face, and said in a dry tone;
"I really need Apple. To me, this is not an ordinary company, but a totem of life that transcends career and a stage where dreams are condensed.
To this end, I am willing to make maximum changes.
King BOSS, I do not deny that I am indeed wary of the strong strength of the consortium and have been trying to draw a clear line between the two parties.
Apple is afraid of encountering the same fate as Netscape and Yahoo and being resold at every turn. I am even more afraid of losing the power in my hands. Maybe this is a cost-effective investment for you.
But to me, Apple is the whole meaning of life."
"Okay, okay, we can sit down and talk."
Mr. Merck asked Jobs to sit down and said seriously;
"Jobs, you have a private agreement with BOSS Wang regarding your investment in Apple. The Wang Group is only a financial investor and does not participate in specific operations and management.
King BOSS has fulfilled his promise, and you have also done a great job in putting Apple on the right track.
The problem is;
The situation is constantly changing. Based on Apple's current size, it has gradually affected the world market competition pattern. This cannot be ignored.
As the CEO of Apple, Mr. Jobs deliberately drew a clear line with the consortium, which actually harmed the interests of the consortium and was undoubtedly very unwise.
As far as I know;
The Athlon 3 CPU uses an advanced 90-nanometer process, has stronger performance and consumes less power. The price of the two is similar, so it should be a better choice than Intel CPU.
But Apple would rather choose Intel processors than consider Athlon 3 CPUs. What a stupid decision.
This is by no means a pure commercial competition and can be explained by considering the interests of Apple.
Most of Apple's products are manufactured by Taiwan's Foxconn, and laptops are not pre-installed with the Android operating system. All of this should be done at the behest of you, Steve Jobs, and you must take responsibility for this.
King BOSS has been able to tolerate it till now, which is very commendable and reflects the tolerant attitude of a gentleman. Now it’s time for you to take practical actions.”
Jobs licked his dry lips and said, "Apple Mac computers can try to make changes. Users can choose whether to use Apple Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows or Android systems when restarting the machine, providing more diverse choices...
"
"It's not enough, man, the BOSS King wants more than this."
…
Listened for a long time
Wang Yaocheng could no longer hold back his temper and waved his hand, saying domineeringly;
"That's not the case. Now that we have reached this point, there is no need to waste any more time.
Apple must make radical changes. The Royal Family Fund will send a professional team to hold important positions such as senior executive vice president and take over Apple's administrative and financial power.
I can't stand Apple to continue to sit on the fence and form a virtual industrial alliance with its competitors to fight against the companies owned by the Royal Family Fund.
from now on
Regardless of whether Jobs is willing or not, Apple computers must use Athlon series CPUs, mobile device laptops must install Android system options, portable iPod digital music players must use Atlantic Jinko application chips, and all OEMs must be handed over to Yangtze Technology
The group is not allowed to use outsourced LCD panels from Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers.
Apple has fully integrated with the companies under the consortium and launched the highest degree of comprehensive cooperation.
Regardless of whether Jobs is willing or not, it is imperative for the consortium to obtain absolute control of Apple and will be the first to take action in the capital market.
I cannot tolerate an opponent with a total worth of 70 billion US dollars, posing a threat to the main business of the consortium, let alone allow Apple to form a substantive interest alliance with it, which will in turn harm the consortium enterprises.
Steve Jobs, all you can do is say yes or no, and you still have the opportunity to implement your genius ideas as CEO.
Otherwise, I can only wish you good luck!
I will leave you three days to think about it, but the consortium's actions will start tomorrow.
You do have your own genius ideas, but who cares?"
Mr. Merck looked at the domineering Wang Yaocheng speechlessly, and had to admit that this was a good way to cut through the mess quickly and completely solve Apple's internal hidden dangers.
A good horse must be put on a halter, running around all over the world is not enough.
If we continue to bargain item by item, the two sides will break down sooner or later. It would be better to just issue an ultimatum to save trouble.
Can it be a one-time deal?
"Jobs, I hope you can cherish the precious opportunity given by the King of Boss. In fact, the major shareholders have always had the right to speak. It's just that you pretend to turn a blind eye and the conflict comes to the board of directors. Your chances of winning are slim."
Jobs sat dumbly, as if he didn't hear MSD's words, and he was already in an extreme struggle inside.
MSD quietly gave Wang Yaocheng a wink;
It means that he should leave first, and he will gradually complete Jobs' work and accept this harsh condition.
Wang Yaocheng understood this and stood up and said coldly;
"Mr. Jobs, which one you choose to do depends on the height your career can reach. I hope you choose carefully."
After saying that, he walked away.
As soon as I opened the door and walked out, the lively and noisy rhythmic dance music suddenly became louder.
The "Disney Night Out" carnival party has begun, and the men and women in the venue are getting excited and swaying to the powerful music melody of Britney Spears in the center of the stage.
"Hey, handsome guy, come over here."
"Come and dance! Peter Pan is my favorite, he will make me excited."
"Hey, don't go!"
With the black lines all over his forehead, Wang Yaocheng was not in the mood to get involved with these fashionable girls. All his good mood disappeared and he quickly left the lively venue.
No matter how much you deceive yourself and others, the boat of friendship finally capsized.
Once the friendship of more than ten years is gone, even if they can still work together, the two parties will never be able to go back to the past, nor can they heal the deep rift between them.
This feeling sucks.
The business empire is getting bigger and bigger, but there are fewer and fewer real friends. In the face of sharp conflicts of interests, everything becomes a fan.
If you look at it from Jobs's perspective, it is the right decision to be wary of prying major shareholders and keep distance between the two parties.
Then it would be foolish to challenge the bottom line of major shareholders over and over again.
This gave Wang Yaocheng, the major shareholder, an excuse to get angry and reach out to pick the ripe apple.
Due to the sharp contradiction between the two sides, this hidden danger will explode sooner or later.
After Jobs re-entered Apple, the strong support from major shareholders allowed him to quickly gain a foothold, implement efficient scientific research and administrative measures throughout the company, and lead the company out of the quagmire quickly.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages.
When Apple under the leadership of Steve Jobs essentially threatened the interests of Wang Yaocheng's consortium, the major shareholder's backhand blow would surely knock Steve Jobs into the dust.
Return to Viking Tower
Wang Yaocheng's mood has become much calmer. A clear look of relaxation can be seen on his face, which seems to have removed a psychological shackles.
The lingering memories of his past and present life made him always in awe of Gang Leader Qiao.
Until today, the illusion was completely broken. Wang Yaocheng was surprised to find:
Regardless of the illusion created in his mind, Jobs was far from being as powerful as he imagined, and his own strength was far superior to that of him.
The iPhone that helped Steve Jobs ascend to the throne has not yet been released, and now he is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
If that's the case, what's there to be polite about? Just go ahead and fuck the special girl.
The consortium is too deeply involved in the electronic semiconductor field and the mobile phone field. Apple's current strategy has greatly affected the interests of the consortium, and a showdown with Apple is inevitable.
Standing at the window, staring at New York's Central Park shrouded in darkness, Wang Yaocheng took a long breath and seemed to put aside all unnecessary thoughts.
He turned around and came to the desk in the study and said into the intercom;
"Miss Cetelina, please inform Director Zhao Feng, Han Jianfei, Liu Shoutian, and Hao Wei of the Secretariat that A-level urgent matters need to be handled."
"In addition, we have contacted the relevant persons in charge of HSBC, Royal Family Fund Secretariat, Legal Department, Accounting Review Department, Family Fund Investment Management Department and other departments to prepare for a video conference call. The specific time is scheduled in 40 minutes."
In this quiet summer night, Wang Yaocheng made a phone call, which stirred up the subsidiaries of the East and West Coast Consortium in the United States, and even the headquarters of the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong, thousands of miles away, all rushed into action to deal with Class A emergencies.
An equity acquisition case against Apple was launched vigorously and resolutely.
