Chapter 2972 ​​Proposal (Part 1)

Jobs returned to Apple and pulled Apple from a company on the verge of bankruptcy to the current company with the second largest market value in the world. His impact on Apple was really great.

Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on his importance to Apple. The result is that in recent years, his physical condition has had a greater impact on Apple's stock price than Apple's product launch conference has on the stock price.

His health has, of course, become Apple's top secret. Since hosting the iPhone 4 launch last year, he has rarely appeared in public.

Page and Brin had recently spoken to Jobs, but it was only a few months before they met him. When they came over eagerly, they were a little stunned.

Feng Yiping knows this very well.

Now Jobs is hard to describe as haggard, but he is so thin that he can really be described as a producer.

Even a simple action like standing up is done very slowly... Such a situation can be described in one word in any context: the oil is exhausted and the lamp is exhausted.

"Steve," Page hugged Jobs gently, "nice to meet you,"

Brin also didn't dare to hug him hard, "Nice to meet you,"

"You look so energetic!"

Yes, although his physical condition was visibly poor, Jobs looked very energetic, especially his eyes, which were particularly powerful.

It was as if he wanted to imprint everything he saw.

Today's Jobs is much calmer than in previous meetings.

In the past, Steve Jobs would always put pressure on people even when he was smiling. You really couldn't tell whether he would suddenly change his face at the next moment.

But the current Steve Jobs - at least the Steve Jobs at this moment, is no longer as deep as before, and when he smiles, he finally smiles happily from the inside out.

"Hello!" He patted Page and the others on the shoulders hard, and his voice was loud, "Please sit down, please."

"I've been wanting to meet you lately, but with my body," he laughed, "haha, I really can't help myself."

He simply took the initiative to speak out, "It's great to meet you!"

"I don't know when the next time will be, and I don't know if there will be a next time."

Brin smiled, "How come? At least I can see you at the new product launch conference,"

"What surprises have you prepared for this year's autumn conference? What about next autumn?"

In the past, when faced with such a problem, Steve Jobs would have just laughed it off, or simply looked at you seriously and kept silent. Today he also laughed it off, but he gave a rare reply, "That is, mobile phones and tablets." Bar,"

Of course, saying this is equivalent to not saying it.

Of course he could also hear that Brin was saying that he would have no problem and he would be able to host next year's autumn conference and subsequent autumn conferences.

Next year is very far away for Jobs, but he hopes that if possible, even if he cannot host this year's autumn conference, he can at least attend it.

"Feng, if I said that the experience of using iPhone 4 is really great, would you be angry?" Page asked Feng Yiping.

This guy is stepping on himself to make Steve Jobs happy.

Looking at Jobs who was smiling and saying nothing, Feng Yiping nodded, "I'm just saying this here. I also think iPhone 4 is great,"

"Haha," Jobs threw his head back and laughed.

"But I believe that the Android system will soon be able to launch very strong competing products,"

Of course you have to say this, right, but even he knows that it is really difficult to surpass Apple in terms of user experience on Android phones.

The biggest problem is the lag problem.

Although Rubin's team has been solving the lag problem caused by fragmentation, it seems that there is no optimal solution to this problem.

At least it will be difficult to surpass Apple in this aspect, but it is not impossible to be on par with Apple. It seems that Apple's IOS often has problems later?

"Haha," the two theatergoers also laughed. "As consumers, we hope that the competition between Apple and Android will become more and more intense and they will launch more and better new products."

Feng Yiping looked at Jobs and said, "Look, they are jealous."

"How about it, it's hard to be on the sidelines!"

Page said sincerely, "It's a little uncomfortable."

This time, Feng Yiping smiled proudly.

He felt that his face was getting thicker and thicker. He took away things that belonged to others, but he still laughed at them like this.

However, the best brothers and friends, many times, aren't they the best vehicles to laugh at and make yourself happy?

The hull of the ship moved slightly, and everyone knew that the ship was sailing away. "It's so stable!" Brin couldn't help but say.

Of course, this is just like the 777 being much more stable than the Gulfstream 5. It’s too self-important.

Of course a big thing like the Apollo is much more stable than those small boats.

Following the track in the morning, the Apollo crossed the Golden Gate Bridge again, sailed out of the Bay Area, and came to the open sea. It was just when the sun was setting in the west, the sky was bright red, and the city was also lit up. From a distance, Go, the Pan Am Building is like a stick of toothpaste standing upright, except it's all glowing.

There are very few yachts left in the open sea at this time, and they are very far apart from each other. Everyone knows that those who come here at this time are looking for peace and quiet without being disturbed by others.

The vegetarian dishes carefully prepared by Chef Man Tingfang were served one after another, which gave Jobs a rare appetite. However, his appetite made Feng Yiping and others feel a little sad. In total, they only ate a few meals. Just chopsticks.

Many things that ordinary people take for granted are a huge burden on their current bodies.

So of course they had to speed up, and it only took them as long as they had to eat a sandwich. They ended their dinner and went to the small hall on the top floor.

The small hall is relatively speaking, with an area of ​​more than 30 square meters, it is actually not small. It is also used as an office by Feng Yiping on a daily basis, because it is the third room on the ship with a 360-degree view in addition to the two master bedrooms. .

Surrounded by the vast ocean on three sides, San Francisco is a quiet, deep and dazzling city that looks like a collection of all wealth and splendor, making it particularly attractive.

Jobs couldn't help but stand in front of the window and stare for a long time, "It's so beautiful!"

Feng Yiping swung his glass, "I have something to discuss with you all,"

"Mainly it's about our joint funds,"

Jobs immediately understood that this was another idea that Feng Yiping had said before.

"Objectively speaking, we don't need too aggressive investment,"

Of course, everyone agrees with this. They have all passed the stage of accumulating wealth, and what they need now is stability rather than risk.

Of course, everyone likes rewards like the one in 2009, but everyone knows that such good things are inevitable.

"Based on this basis, the comprehensive return rate of our fund in the past two years has not been very good,"

"No, it's pretty good," Page said.

When it was first established, it cost one billion US dollars per person, and now it has grown to more than 26 billion US dollars!

Of course, considering that there were more than 20 billion in 2008, the average return in 2009 and 2010 is not too high.

"The good news is that according to the current trend, this year will be another bumper year. I think our return should be above 40%!"

Feng Yiping's words suddenly excited them, and Jobs immediately said, "Will gold rise sharply in the future?"

They all know that the biggest move of the fund this year is to buy gold.

"Because the turmoil in West Asia and North Africa is mainly due to the continuous downgrade of the sovereign credit of European countries with problems, such a trend will definitely cause a large amount of funds to flow into the gold market as a safe haven,"

"So, on the whole, yes, I think there is a high probability that the price of gold will reach a new high this year,"

Brin immediately ran over and got a few glasses of wine, "We have to toast you!"

In these aspects, even if they get the most detailed analysis report, they cannot see it as clearly as Feng Yiping, let alone be as sure as Feng Yiping.

This is also the main reason why the United Fund has grown steadily in recent years. In terms of investment, they have complete trust in Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping touched them and said, "It seems okay to celebrate this year in advance, but everyone, I don't have much confidence next year."

"Understand that you don't get an opportunity like this every year," Page said.

Jobs was waiting for Feng Yiping to say something else.

"I have news to tell you, I plan to take Facebook public next year,"

The other three were suddenly excited.

ps: Happy holidays!
