Chapter 2144 New Partner
Seeing the famous young rich man doing such a thing, Page and Brin were quite speechless.
"Look, we can have an in-depth discussion with those female stars in Hollywood on this issue, right?"
"Speaking from experience, for some female stars who take acting as a legitimate path, asking them for professional questions like this is definitely the best compliment," Brin said.
Immediately, Feng Yiping and Page looked at him with burning eyes, "Tell me, did you get such experience from those female stars?"
"What? Oh, a slip of the tongue. It was just a metaphor. Really, it was just a metaphor."
Bryn Xin said, this man really shouldn't be too proud. When he is proud, some truths will slip out accidentally.
He immediately changed his tone and said, "In addition to funding, this project has other needs, so feel free to mention them."
Feng Yiping and Page smiled. They were really not that nosy about their friends' privacy in this regard.
"Don't worry, I won't be polite,"
The reason for bringing them along this time is not only to further consolidate the relationship with them, but also to rely on them in the future.
"Between us, there's no need to be polite," Page said.
But Feng Yiping felt that just bringing the two of them was not enough.
"By the way, I plan to bring someone in," Feng Yiping also became serious.
And drag someone in? Page and Brinton were very curious.
Who could that person be? Also, what kind of project will this be?
Feng Yiping did not sell out to them at this moment, "I want to bring Steve Jobs in,"
"Oh," the two breathed out.
It was obvious that they had no objections when Jobs was brought in.
Of course, don't forget that when Sequoia and KPCB invested in Google and decided to subject them to "underage supervision" and find a CEO for Google, Page took the initiative to contact many people in the circle. Finally, His favorite thing is to have Jobs become the CEO of Google.
However, Gang Leader Qiao had already been respectfully invited back to Apple at that time, so naturally he couldn't get his wish.
But this is enough to prove that they and Jobs are at odds.
"It's really a good opportunity to bring Steve Jobs along," Page said.
When he said this, he naturally thought that Feng Yiping was worried about Jobs's condition, so he wanted to take this opportunity to increase extra income for Jobs, or in other words, to increase the income for Jobs' relatives.
Although Jobs seems to be in good health at the moment, as long as the disease is related to cancer, it is nothing to take lightly.
What's more, although Apple's stock price has improved a lot, and Apple's situation is no longer as poor as it was when Jobs was first brought back, because Jobs currently holds very little shares in Apple, even though he is a leader in the American high-tech industry He is an old-timer, but his net worth cannot be compared with that of any one of Feng Yiping and the other three.
They also knew the relationship between Feng Yiping and Jobs.
After all, in Silicon Valley, apart from his own company and Google, the company Feng Yiping is closest to is Apple.
He now also serves as Apple's special advisor.
In terms of personal relationships, the two families were also good. When Amanda was born, Jobs and Laurenna stayed in the hospital.
"Feng, I am more and more curious about what project you are going to do," Page said.
However, he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it. I know it. If you don't say it, there must be a reason why you don't say it."
"Thank you for your trust. I will contact Steve Jobs right away. After that, I have to go home and take a look,"
"Take it easy," Brin smirked and patted him on the shoulder.
This guy!
…………
Feng Yiping walked out of Google quickly, not meeting Mayer on the way. However, as soon as he arrived in the parking lot, his phone received a text message. It was very concise, one word and one punctuation mark: Run away?
He really admired Mayer's ability to send text messages. It was very concise and expressive.
He hurriedly got into the car and replied with a few words, "I'm still busy, I'll contact you later."
Follow him and call Jobs, "Steve, I have something to discuss with you,"
"I'm very busy right now," Jobs's attitude wasn't very good.
Of course, he has been in such bad behavior lately.
Feng Yiping understood that the current progress of the smartphone project, which he had invested huge resources in and was highly confidential, was not going well.
"If it's a supporting issue, Cook is advancing the relevant process," he explained patiently because it was Feng Yiping.
After participating in the West Lake Sword Discussion, Cook went to Wuli'ao to learn about the situation of Jiasheng Optical Park.
"Wait a minute, that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is, can you have $1 billion ready by the end of this year or the beginning of next year?"
"One billion U.S. dollars? Do you need funds then?" Jobs's voice changed, "I will think of a way, but, 1 billion...,"
It was enough for him to say, "Steve, it's not for the reasons you think. I'm preparing a project that will have a considerable return. Page and Brin have just decided to join,"
"Oh," Jobs' voice changed again, "Then don't say on the phone, when will you come to the United States?"
"I'm already in Silicon Valley,"
"Then you come to my place, no, let's find a cafe, forget it, I'm going to your office now," Jobs changed his mind several times in succession, completely different from his usual calm and decisive attitude.
The reason why he felt it was inappropriate to let Feng Yiping go to his place was because it seemed that Feng Yiping wanted to make a lot of money by hooking him up.
As for the cafe, it's not very safe.
Therefore, Feng Yiping's office is the safest.
…………
More than forty minutes later, Feng Yiping met Jobs in the garage and said, "Steve, you are still so energetic."
Steve Jobs seems really energetic right now.
"Hahaha," Jobs smiled and hugged Feng Yiping, "I heard that your YouTube has been officially approved to enter the Chinese market. Congratulations!"
"Google China is also developing so brilliantly, so Feng, do you feel that you are not too concerned about the development of Apple China?"
"Come on Steve, you have also been to China. You know very well that the reason why Apple's current sales in our country are average is mainly because Apple's computers are still considered luxury goods for most Chinese people."
"You also know that if you buy a computer this year, it will be outdated next year,"
Jobs nodded, "That's a problem,"
He looked at Feng Yiping's small building and said, "This should be the most luxurious founder's office in Silicon Valley."
"Not really," Feng Yiping said. "Although many people's offices are smaller than mine, just a collection in their office, such as a painting hanging on the wall, can build many offices like mine."
He is also telling the truth. Many new rich people in Silicon Valley, like many rich people in China, are willing to spend a lot of money to buy elegant works of art. On the one hand, this seems to improve their taste in the eyes of others. On the other hand, This is naturally an investment.
"Please take a seat." Feng Yiping waved the assistant away and handed Jobs a bottle of mineral water. "What did Cook say about the supporting facilities?"
"Look, you promised in front of so many people that you would contribute to a good life for the people in my hometown,"
"The people in your hometown are living a good life, but you still need other people to contribute? I saw the photos that Cook brought back. Compared with when we went there, the changes have been so big. They have already lived a good life,"
"If you compare happiness, it may have exceeded the residents of many American towns," Jobs said.
"Cook must have realized the hard work of people in my hometown, right? Besides, how can there be the best life? Aren't they all better?" Feng Yiping said with a smile.
In bringing Jobs in, we also have the consideration of further improving the relationship with him.
If we build a good relationship with him, Jiasheng Optical's support for Apple will naturally be smoother.
Of course, this is just one of many reasons.
"Like us, he is also shocked by the efforts of the workers in your company. In fact, I also feel that our system is currently over-protective to workers and over-indulgent to labor unions,"
"This has a huge impact on the manufacturing industry and the real economy...,"
"Okay, you know, I'm not here to talk about this." Jobs held the mineral water bottle sideways in his hand, "Tell me about that project of yours,"
