Chapter 348 I Support You, as Long as It Is Beneficial!

Zucker is a rich man and a self-made billionaire. Even though he is still very young, none of the hundreds of shareholders and shareholder representatives at the scene dared to take Zucker's opinion lightly.

What's more, Zucker is now Apple's largest individual shareholder!

Zhu Ke was suddenly watched by countless people, and he couldn't help but say shyly: "This is not good. I just became a member of the board of directors, but I really know very little about Apple, so I dare to speak, don't I want to influence everyone's judgment? "

"Cunning fox!"

No one in the crowd murmured a whisper.

Although it was not loud, many people could hear it.

Zucker himself heard it.

"Mr. Wald, you don't have to be so humble. Even if you don't know much about Apple, we all trust your vision and your big picture, and you boldly say so." The shareholder who refuted Jobs before, stood up again.

The shareholder, Cordler Davis, is the owner of a small oil company. In recent years, he has invested in many Internet companies and has made a lot of money. His net worth alone is not less than 1 billion US dollars.

He and Jobs were extremely incompatible.

Even, he is the vanguard against Steve Jobs again in charge of Apple's power!

"Mr. Davids, just bypass me."

Zhu Ke hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't look at my wealth now, but it's definitely not all due to me. Except for the movie business, other Internet stocks or something, it's really just luck."

In a word, I can watch the play, but if I want to express my opinion, there is no door!

"You!" Cordler Davis was a little annoyed.

Another shareholder representative from the Codler Davis camp couldn't help but stand up and said: "Mr. Wald, this is the general meeting of shareholders, not the executive board of directors. You are the company's largest individual shareholder, and your opinion is It is extremely precious, please don't be stingy!"

"Yes, yes!" Many people around agreed.

Zhu Ke immediately made an embarrassed expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't bully me when I'm young, do you really think I'm good-natured? I have a principle, that is, for unfamiliar industries and unclear affairs,

It is absolutely not easy to express opinions. This is my guideline, I hope you understand. "

In his words, Zhu Ke seemed very righteous, neither humble nor arrogant.

"No one should expect me to be a gunman~" Zu Ke was full of disdain.

At this time, Jobs looked at Zucker again and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to express your opinion?"

Hearing this, Zu Ke played with the taste: "I'm very tired today, you guys said, I'll just listen, after all, I'm very young."

Jobs didn't say much, but...he grabbed a word.

--today!

Obviously, he knew that Zucker had his own plans.

For a time, Jobs couldn't help but curse in his heart.

The next shareholders meeting will be much more interesting.

Shareholders headed by Cordler Davis refuted the plan set by Jobs; Jobs did not retreat at all, and started a battle of words with them; Besides, there were also some neutral shareholders, which was definitely not to watch the excitement. Suspect that the matter is big, one after another and thin mud.

A battle of words, very exciting!

"You bastards!"

"Stupid guy~"

"Don't look at the fact that Apple's stock price has risen a lot in the past two years, but have you seen our own core competitiveness? The things we use are still the same!"

"Those things, in your opinion, are precious treasures, but in my opinion, they are just old antiques and garbage."

"You heard it right, it's trash, trash that can be left behind!"

"If a company loses the spirit of innovation and the courage to open up, then it is not far from destruction!"

"Stupid, backward-thinking, unmotivated bastards, you were born into the world, which is a complete blasphemy against God. If I were your parents, I would have crushed you all to death and put you back into the mother's body."

Jobs is Jobs, even though he has gone through hardships and erased a lot of edges and corners, his temper is still hot.

That's right!

From the beginning to the end, he Jobs was not a gentle gentleman, but a general with a bad temper. As far as his temper is concerned, he has repeatedly spoken out in public without being obscure.

Whether it was developing a new operating system, Mac OS X, or developing an iPod digital music player, Jobs thought it was necessary.

He even believes that if Apple wants to be brilliant and great again, it must start these two projects.

Of course, he was opposed by a lot of people.

Cordler Davis, retorted: "As far as you Steve Jobs is far-sighted, we are all stupid people? Then why don't you talk about Apple's e-mail (e-mail) fee?"

Jobs: "......"

Immediately, many people at the scene were happy.

Zucker himself was also very rude and laughed.

Apple e-mail was once a trump card project of Apple in the mid-1990s. It tore a hole from Microsoft and AOL, and occupied a lot of market share. The monthly advertising fee is not a few.

This profit has allowed Apple to have a pretty good life.

However... Jobs made a stupid decision!

"I think Apple should be charged for e-mail, the service fee of $100 per user per year, which is quite reasonable, because we will provide better and more diversified e-mail services." This is Jobs under decision.

However, this charging move was strongly resisted by users.

As a result, Apple e-mail is completely finished...

Expose people without exposing their shortcomings, and beat people without slapping their faces?

Hehe, at this moment Jobs is being slapped in the face by a group of opposition shareholders, it hurts!

"Party!!!"

An important decision cannot be settled in a meeting or two sentences, not to mention investing a lot of money in developing a new operating system.

Undoubtedly, this shareholders meeting was a failure.

Well, at least for him, Jobs was an absolute failure, because there were very few people who supported him.

Of course, the general meeting of shareholders is only an introduction, and it does not play a decisive role. In the end, the decision must be made by the few directors who hold more shares and hold the executive board of directors.

......

the next day.

Jobs called Zucker and invited Zucker to dinner.

"Boss, Jobs invited you to dinner, presumably because of the two decisions made by Apple yesterday?" Alexander laughed.

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "I can't think of anything else besides this. After all, I've known him for many years, but our friendship... that's the same thing."

Time passed slowly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

Zucker and Jobs sit opposite each other at a three-Michelin-star French restaurant in downtown Los Angeles.

"Zuck, we've known each other for almost 5 years. If I remember correctly, this is the first time we have eaten together." Jobs said with a glass of wine.

Zucker laughed immediately: "Don't say it, it's true. I haven't eaten with you, but I came in and played with John Lasseter and Andrew."

"I know." Jobs nodded.

The next time, naturally, is to eat and chat.

Suddenly, Zucker said: "Jobs, let's talk, OK? You suddenly become like this, I'm really uncomfortable."

Suddenly, Jobs' face froze.

Although there is no contradiction between him and Zucker, they do have a general friendship. Except for work, there is almost no contact.

What is he going to say now?

It's nothing more than getting Zucker to support his decision at Apple!

Although Zucker has just become a member of the company's board of directors, he is after all the company's largest individual shareholder and a well-known billionaire in the United States. For this alone, Zucker naturally has a lot of influence in Apple.

"I hope you support me!" Jobs stared at Zucker with a burning gaze.

Zhu Ke stopped smiling, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a wet towel, and said solemnly, "What can I get?"

"I can give you higher status at Apple, such as an executive director position." Jobs said solemnly.

For Jobs, this is already a huge concession.

Zucker said solemnly: "The position of executive director? It sounds really good, but do you think I would be rare? With you, Steve Jobs, who was the chairman of Apple for one day, do you think the position of executive director is necessary for him to exist? There are words. Right? Stop fooling me~"

What a powerful man Jobs was!

As Zucker said, even if the strong Steve Jobs will not make Apple a mess, the position of executive director is really unnecessary.

"Then what do you want?" Jobs was suddenly amused.

I am not afraid that you are powerful, but I am afraid that you will not ask for anything; as long as you ask for something, there will be something to talk about.

They're all fucking old foxes!

Don't blame Zucker for being mean and taking advantage of others. The exchange of interests is the norm in the United States.

" "The first more is sent.
