Chapter 1886 A Chance Encounter with Gang Leader Qiao
Sister Dongfang is actually a young artistic woman with a weak heart.
If Yin Jun didn't come over, she usually stayed at home, spending time with her daughter, writing something by herself, reading books, etc. The time passed quickly.
My mother-in-law, Lin Malanying, also lives here, and her sister, brother-in-law, and niece also come over to play, so she feels that her time is quite tight.
But after Yin Jun came, sister Qingxia put everything else aside and would get tired of being with Yin Jun whenever he was free.
Then when Yin Jun goes out for a walk with his daughter in his arms, she will also actively change her clothes, follow her man and baby, and go out happily.
At this time, she was not an Oscar-winning actress or the pride of the Chinese people.
Sister Qingxia is just a man's wife and the mother of a little baby.
She ignored all the bodyguards and nannies around her, and felt that she was the only three people left in the world.
Ya'er is less than half a year old, and it's early spring again. Although the weather in California is very good and the temperature is still suitable, out of conservative habits, Yin Jun still won't carry her too far.
Even just after eating at noon, I went out when the weather was the hottest of the day, and returned home at two or three o'clock.
Ya'er is worthy of being Yin Jun's daughter. As long as her father is holding her, she is full of energy. She is screaming and looking around. She is very cute.
Well, that’s bullshit too.
Yin Jun was much more handsome and comely than Sister Dongfang's ex-husband in his previous life, so the daughter he gave birth to had naturally comely features and had been sculpted since she was a child.
Thinking of Sister Qingxia's two daughters in his previous life, Yin Jun felt a little chilly. Sister Qingxia, with such a bright and heroic face, actually gave birth to two ugly daughters. Sure enough, even genes are bad coins driving out good ones!
It was still like this today. Yin Jun went out to play with his daughter, and Lin Qingxia just followed him, and even took her man's arm, not afraid of tiring Yin Jun.
The community Lin Qingxia chose is a very good wealthy area. The entire block is full of high-end estates. The roads in and out of this community are guarded by security guards. Without the owners' phone calls to confirm, it is impossible to let anyone in.
Five kilometers away from this community is Teresa Teng's house in Los Angeles.
The two girls were very close to each other and often walked around. Qingqing also liked this sister very much. If she hadn't been young herself, she would have taken her sister out to play.
Teresa Teng herself has been helping her family with work since she was a child. She performed on stage at the age of 7 to earn money for her family.
When she was raising her sweetheart, she didn't pamper her all day long like an ordinary wealthy family would, and wouldn't let her daughter do this or that. Instead, she encouraged Qing Qing to make her own decisions and have her own ideas. own thoughts.
The young man thought that his eldest daughter's way of growing up was very good. He talked about it to White Snake and the leader, and wanted them to learn from it.
Since it is a high-end and wealthy area, the public areas inside are very well constructed. There are flowers and plants everywhere in a small lawn park. There is also an artificial lake in the middle that dots the scenery. You can see it under the shade of the lakeside trees everywhere. wooden bench.
"Yeah..."
While walking by the lake, Ya'er suddenly shouted excitedly.
Yin Jun followed her eyes and saw a man in his twenties or thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sitting there, looking at the lake with a dull expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
The young man who withdrew his eyes suddenly looked over for the second time.
Because he felt that this man looked familiar.
As a result, he recognized it at a second glance. Isn't this the younger version of Gang Leader Qiao?
Yin Jun has seen a lot of photos of Gang Leader Qiao when he was young. In terms of talent, he is much more handsome than his rival Bill Gates. His confidant who pretends to be cool all day long - Ellison, the president of Oracle, and he In comparison, he looks like a villain in a horror movie.
The past few years have been the first stage of prosperity for Gang Leader Qiao.
The whole country is praising this young man, praising him for changing the world and bringing computers into ordinary people's homes, which is also the pride of the development of science and technology in the United States.
At that time, Gang Leader Qiao was so high-spirited that he felt that the whole world was in his hands, and he guided the country with arrogance, which was really satisfying.
But the good times did not last long. With a series of product development failures and peripheral rivals pressing harder, Apple has lost the glory it had for about 80 years and now looks a bit uncertain.
It was April 1985, and Yin Jun suddenly remembered, wasn't this the most difficult stage in Gang Leader Qiao's life?
If Yin Jun remembers correctly, in the second half of this year, Gang Leader Qiao will directly resign from his position as chairman, sell almost all Apple stocks, and leave the company he founded.
After thinking about it, the young man handed Ya'er to Lin Qingxia next to him and asked them to go for a walk. After that, he sat next to Gang Leader Qiao.
"Hi, Stephen." Yin Jun looked at the lake like him, and then said hello.
Gang Leader Qiao looked at Yin Jun, said nothing, and continued to be in a daze.
"I'm Yin Jun. I called you last time and wanted to invite you to attend the Qilin Lecture, but you didn't agree." Yin Jun continued disapprovingly, "It seems that you are confused. It has been so long and you haven't done anything yet. Is it getting better?”
Gang Leader Qiao still didn't speak.
Yin Jun smiled and said: "I think you did a good job. On this issue, it is the era that is wrong, not your ideas."
Hearing this, Gang Leader Qiao became a little interested and nodded in a very light tone: "I think so too."
The young man smiled unconsciously.
Gang Leader Qiao is worthy of being Gang Leader Qiao.
His most distinctive characteristics are his refusal to admit defeat and his determination to go all the way.
Just like today's Apple, if he accepts the advice of the general manager and the board of directors, open up Apple's operating system, let more software companies join Apple computers, and enrich the number and types of Apple's software, Then Apple computer sales will definitely increase.
Or if he is willing to make some low-end versions of Apple computers instead of computers worth around 10,000 yuan that are too expensive for most people to afford, then the sales of Apple computers will also be greatly improved.
Even if Apple's computers can make the accompanying software cheaper and don't worry so much about charging money for every piece of software, the sales of Apple computers will still increase.
but……
No!
Faced with these proposals, Gang Leader Qiao rudely rejected them and resolutely made any compromise.
He felt that what he did was the most correct thing and should not be modified.
It is the stupid shareholders and stupid customers who should be corrected.
You read that right.
This is indeed how he views his customers.
So you see, on the one hand, Gang Leader Qiao is clinging on without any reason or chance of winning, and on the other hand, the company's performance continues to decline, and the stock market value continues to decline. What do you want the board of directors to think? What do you want investors to think?
Faced with such a paranoid man who refuses to admit his mistakes, who is willing to work with him again, who is willing to let him take charge of the company again and lead the company to an irreversible abyss?
Therefore, it is absolutely reasonable for Gang Leader Qiao to be kicked out of the company.
But the most ironic thing is that in the year when he was most frustrated, President Reagan had just awarded him the "National Medal of Technology" in recognition of his progress in the computer industry.
Ask yourself.
If he hadn't known about Gang Leader Qiao's great achievements in the future and that Yin Jun was a shareholder, he would have kicked him out of the company.
But considering the development trajectory in the next 40 years, what the young man just said was definitely not flattering to Gang Leader Qiao.
There is no need for it in the first place. In this life, Yin Jun can be better than Apple with just a few projects.
Secondly, what Yin Jun said was true.
Because after 30 years, Gang Leader Qiao has proved with ironclad facts that his high-priced, cutting-edge, beautiful, and paranoid works can be recognized by everyone and will definitely succeed.
And it’s not an ordinary success, it’s an unprecedented success!
His failure was only because of this era.
It is now 1985, and the personal computer industry has only started 8 years ago. Eight years ago, it was Gang Leader Qiao who introduced the first commercial personal computer to the world.
In such a short period of time, people do not know enough about computers. There are 7 billion people in the world, but no more than 300 million people use computers, and many people do not own computers alone.
In such an environment, in addition to Apple, companies such as IBM, HP, and Compaq are competing. Now, Kirin Computer, Dell Computer, and other assembled computers have also entered the market, competing for customers.
How could the computer market of less than 200 million units accommodate so many giants competing against each other?
If it were replaced by the total market of 3 billion computers in the future, it would be about the same.
Under such circumstances, in the early stages of this type of computer, in an era when people have not yet shifted from necessity to quality needs, Apple insists on its strategy of high-priced computers and the best quality computers. That is completely wrong!
This is also an important reason why Apple will suffer huge losses in a few years, while computer assembly companies like Dell can actually prosper!
How can you ask others to pursue a high-quality life when you don’t have enough to eat?
Do you insist on saying that fat meat is bad for health and want people to eat more expensive and finer tenderloins?
Do not make jokes!
How did Apple succeed 20 years later?
At that time, the mobile phone market had experienced twenty years of development and was very mature.
People are still mentally prepared to accept feature phones worth three to five thousand dollars, but they are eager for better phones to appear.
At this time, the Apple smartphone came out, which met everyone's expectations. After a period of adaptation, it quickly became popular and became popular all over the world.
It was completely understandable that Apple phones at that time were a little more expensive than flagship models from Nokia and Motorola.
When you pursue high quality, you naturally need to pay more.
This idea is already very popular in people’s minds!
That's why they have the ability to break through all obstacles, and even if they develop to 10,000 units, countless people will support them, and push Apple's market value to a historical high of 1 trillion US dollars!
Therefore, Gang Leader Qiao's second paranoia was undoubtedly successful!
Therefore, if you look back, if Gangzhu Qiao's mobile phone appeared in the early 1990s, when everyone still only needed the basic mobile phone functions, he had made a smart phone, how many people would you say would be willing to do so? Buy it?
Faced with the stranglehold of Nokia and Motorola, will he have a chance of success?
Isn't it just like today, facing the joint stranglehold of IBM, HP, Compaq and Dell, the market share continues to decline, and the company is in multiple crises?
Therefore, a European and American proverb puts it well.
If you are one step ahead, you are a genius, but if you are a few steps ahead, you may be easily criticized as a madman, but it will be difficult to succeed!
