Chapter 1070 God Joe Is Not Having a Good Time
William Whitewright did not return to Asia, and although he did not appear often, he always caused various topics.
Of course, if you had to say how good he was, that would be nonsense. The money is also his business, so what if it can't be used up in a few lifetimes, and he will not be willing to bear the loss.
Of course, he just hurts a little bit, Jobs hurts everywhere.
At the just-concluded MacWorld conference, when he announced that he was compatible with Microsoft Office and built-in IE4.0, the audience booed.
There were also a few who went too far and left the stage angrily. Although understandable, a little loss is simply inevitable.
Yes, Jobs felt humiliated, if it wasn't for this mess, why would he have to settle for it.
Compatible with Microsoft Office and IE4.0, he can retain users to the greatest extent. This is the case with a closed system, and there won't be too many application software. If you can't see those familiar things, the target customers will definitely hesitate.
With Office and IE4.0, at least at the work level, the target customers will not have too much discomfort.
Besides, this is a tacit agreement between him and Microsoft. Otherwise, how could Bill Gates invest in Apple.
It is really appropriate to describe Jobs as a bad year. If you use one word to describe PCs in these years, it is explosive growth.
However, affected by the Asian financial crisis, it slowed down unexpectedly for the first time.
"You should give that bastard a hard time, by the way, why is your memory more expensive?"
"Expensive? Well, so I'm better too. By the way, don't mention four stars, that guy is crazy."
Businessmen naturally maximize their profits. He doesn't care if you lose money or not. Of course he will be happy if it can be cheaper.
"Okay, okay, damn it, let me make sure, the CPU delivery won't be delayed?"
"Of course not. The Asian financial crisis has little impact on Lion City."
"Well, that's fine, by the way, if you can, teach Soros a lesson."
"Although it's difficult, as you wish." Although William White said so, he smiled wryly in his heart. It's so easy, there is someone behind him, and he is still a very big man.
Master Qiao was upset with Mao, but it was easy to understand that this place was a mess, otherwise, he wouldn't have to make compromises with Bill Gates.
This face was thrown into the Pacific Ocean, and I didn't expect that the country of the United States might also be affected.
At this point, not only him, but also the Mi Fed was a little surprised. They need to achieve dollar hegemony, and in order to achieve this, destroying the real economy is also acceptable.
However, not to destroy oneself. Well now, not to mention cars and household appliances, these two goods are almost hopeless, and even semiconductors are showing a certain degree of decline.
After selling a bunch of feelings, Jobs only bought a few months.
If, if it fails again...
"Damn it, who of you knows what color it is?" Jobs heard Jonathan Ive roar just as he walked to the door of the new product development room.
Like him, this guy is not a good-natured guy. In other words, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. The people Jobs can fancy, except for one Tim Cook, are basically neurotic.
"Don't get excited, Jonathan, we still have time, let's perfect it."
"Okay, boss, this color is not bright enough. What I need is a very eye-catching beauty, it needs to be shiny, and it needs to be like a work of art."
To be honest, you look at it with the eyes of posterity, but it is a translucent plastic shell. If you want to be transparent, you can't be beautiful. This is simply a matter of craftsmanship.
If I use the paint process, I can get the color effect of Ferrari. If I use brushed metal, I can make it into a work of art. However, it is plastic, and you still demand transparency, which is really too embarrassing for a human being.
In fact, Jobs is still very satisfied with the current G3. Having someone who is more paranoid than him really saves a lot of trouble.
"By the way, Jonathan, based on this prototype, you design another laptop."
"Laptop? Boss, look at this. I designed the shell machine. However, I think it's too cartoony. If it's used in a business setting, it doesn't seem dignified enough."
"Dignity? What is that? We are the first movers. Consumers should listen to us. Their ideas don't matter. Those ideas are wrong.
This design is very good, you write a report, if G3 is successful, the next step is the notebook. "
"I know the boss, as you wish."
Glancing around, Jobs was very satisfied to see that no one had expressed any objection.
Well, the guy who disagreed, he fixed it long ago. Those who stay here now are basically all the way with them.
Apple sucks right now, and everyone in the room knows that. If they can't pass this level, they need to find another way out.
Anyway, no matter what Jobs said, William White's office would never put this rotten apple.
Plastic things, no matter how good-looking you make them, it doesn't matter. It's just to fool the current local turtles.
However, the advertising and marketing department can consider helping out, as can the front desk. Anyway, it looks a little more fashionable, which is still very good.
"Support server? Hahaha, Tom, never mind, this is doing Bill Gates a favor.
By the way, have you seen their latest design? "
Fat Tom's face is a bit dark, and Jobs has designed a freak.
"Ahem, boss, it's a bit different, it's different from the computers on the market."
"It's right to be different. This is differentiated competition. If you think about it, if you fight for technology, IBM, HP, and Compaq, any one can beat Apple.
Fighting prices, Dell computers are direct sales, which is also a dead end. Then, what was left to Jobs was just differentiated operations. I haven't seen that computer, Tom, but the less computer-like it is, the more likely it is to be successful. "
Tom the fat cat is convinced, otherwise, he can only work part-time. William White is hiding in Xiangjiang, just hearing what he said, and making a rough judgment. This kind of ability, his fat cat Tom doesn't have it.
Uncompromising, unyielding, and not following the herd. This is what Apple insists on. Therefore, later Hollywood liked Apple not only because of sponsorship fees.
Anyway, if you look at it, the mobile phones used by the bad guys are generally Nokia and Motorola. Good people usually use apples. As for computers, the bad guys seem to like Compaq the most. Damn, if you don't pay these guys advertising fees, there seems to be a problem with your own brand image.
"Boss, Jeff seems to be hesitant."
"Haha, don't worry about them, let Steve be hypocritical. At this time, driving sales is the most important thing. If the estimate is good, he will agree.
Really, Amazon is the first mover, yes, and there are a lot of competitors. "
"That's right, this guy didn't pay much attention to those DVDs and CDs at first. Now it's all right, most of the profits come from these, and he doesn't even care if he wants to."
"By the way, Tom, is there any problem with the latest delivery?"
"In an average of one week, there is no problem with warehousing and subcontracting, and the bottleneck is personnel distribution."
"Tsk, try those students, or, try those foreign students, don't care where they come from. By the way, set a scoring standard, and if it really doesn't work, replace them."
"Okay, I know the boss."
