Chapter 860: 3 apples that changed the world

"Boss, are you sure you want to buy a lot of Apple stocks at this time?" Henry Williams sat in front of Yang Jing and asked with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't believe the boss would commit such a crime." Low-level" error.

From the beginning of speculation on the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, Japanese yen and Deutsche Mark, to the stock market crash in 1987, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the collapse of the Japanese financial market, this series of speculations, Henry Williams, as the CEO of the KY investment fund, all went through the whole process. Participated, so Henry Williams admires this mysterious boss, don't want it.

In his eyes, his own boss is an omnipotent **** in the financial market!

But can God also make mistakes? Otherwise, why would the boss order to buy Apple's stock at this time? However, everyone knows that the once-popular Apple is now completely dead, and bankruptcy is its best and only way out! Otherwise, most of Apple's shareholders will choose to jump off the building.

Last year, in 1995, with the release of Microsoft's indos95 operating system, Apple's performance took a sharp turn. This year, on February 5, 1996, BusinessWeek even put the famous Apple trademark on the cover to illustrate the current headline news: the fall of American Idol.

Since Jobs left Apple, Apple changed three CEOs in just ten years. Especially after computers based on the indos operating system and Intel processors quickly dominated the world, the German Michael Spindler, who had only succeeded John Scully as Apple’s CEO in 1993, was ousted again, and Jill Ameri. Ao became the new CEO of Apple at the beginning of this year.

Faced with the strong combination of the indos operating system and Intel processors, even if Amelio struggles to make Apple survive in such a world, there is little hope.

Amelio even chose to lay off employees and reorganize the company's various products into the following four categories: Macintosh computers, information equipment, printers and peripherals, and "alternative platforms." In addition, the operating system department and the high-tech department have added an Internet service department in an attempt to redeem Apple's market share.

At that time, many people also gave advice to Apple. For example, "Wired" magazine published an article entitled "The Way to Save Apple", which put forward many suggestions for Apple's situation: sell Apple to IBM or Motorola. , Increase investment in Neton technology, and make full use of Apple's advantages in the U.S. primary and secondary education market.

Wall Street analysts hope and urge Apple to sign cooperation agreements with Sony or HP.

But these measures are ultimately unable to resist the powerful offensive after the cooperation between the indos operating system and Intel processors. Apple's bankruptcy has entered a countdown in 1996!

Seeing Henry Williams’ puzzled expression, Yang Jing smiled slightly, “Henry, listen to me, and immediately arrange to buy Apple’s stock in secret, and still use the old method to disperse the shares, and don’t let outsiders see our intentions. ."

"HY? Apple is not working anymore." Henry continued to ask very persistently.

Yang Jing rubbed his eyebrows slightly, then looked up at Henry and said, "It's very simple, because of Steve Jobs!"

"Jobs? The Steve Jobs, one of Apple's founders?" Henry was even more puzzled. "Didn't he have been kicked out of Apple long ago? Will he go back?"

"Bingo!" Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction, "It is precisely because I judged that Jobs will return to Apple, and I firmly believe that Apple will come back to life in the hands of Jobs and create a more glorious future, so I will download This decision is made. If we don’t seize this opportunity at this time, it will not take a few years. This Apple, which is about to go bankrupt now, will definitely make us regret it."

"But BOSS, Steve Jobs has left Apple for eleven years, can he come back?" Yang Jing's reason made Henry not as excited as he was just now. "I still know Jobs well. I was still at Goldman Sachs. At the time when Apple went public, Lehman Brothers was very optimistic about the company. At the time, Apple issued 4.6 million shares, and Lehman Brothers did not lose money. It turns out that Jobs was a genius."

After a pause, Henry continued: "But genius is hard to be accepted by ordinary people. That's right, the invention of Apple II really made Jobs the youngest billionaire in the world at the time, but also, Jobs's advanced management The idea allowed Apple under his leadership to experience a serious setback in the following years."

Yang Jing said with a smile: "Yes, the release of Lisa database and AppleIie really caused Apple to suffer huge losses, especially the high R&D expenses of Lisa database encroached on Apple's large amount of funds, plus IBM's launch. The personal PC detonated the market at that time and caused AppleIie to suffer a huge blow, but it is undeniable that Jobs’ business philosophy is actually very advanced. Henry, you use our current eyes to look back at what was criticized at that time. How do you feel about the Lisa database?"

Henry hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "If the Lisa database persists, then there may be nothing about Oracle at this time."

"Isn't that enough?" Yang Jing clapped his hands. "Although Steve Jobs lost to the Lisa database, you have to admit that it was caused by Jobs's business philosophy being too advanced, not his business philosophy. It’s wrong. In fact, if you can really study Jobs carefully, you will find that this guy is really amazing. I don’t think he is worse than Bill Gates and Larry Ellison. Even in some aspects, he is stronger than the first two, especially in terms of business philosophy and grasp of the market. I think Jobs is a very magical guy. So, if Jobs really returns as I judged Apple, in terms of his ability, he will definitely re-lead Apple out of its predicament and lead to glory, just like he founded Apple. And after the failure of the Lisa database, Jobs will be more stable than before and pay more attention to the market. His experience and feedback. If he can return to Apple this time, then he will not make any mistakes again. And Jobs, who will not make mistakes, is an extremely scary guy!"

Seeing the rare admiration on the boss's face, Henry couldn't help but pay more attention to Jobs. Although this guy is still very successful after leaving Apple, even better than when he was at Apple, but after all, it is different from the level of KY investment funds, so Henry did not know Jobs very well in the past two years. .

"BOSS, but Steve Jobs is already a billion-dollar millionaire with Pixar animation. Will he be willing to go back to the big quagmire of Apple?"

"Don't worry, he will definitely come back. Apple is his real child, how could he watch his child die?" Yang Jing's words made Henry nod involuntarily.

In fact, don't look at Steve Jobs now, but that's because Pixar Animation brought him.

In 1985, the leader of Joe’s gang failed in the power struggle of Apple. He had to resign as chairman of Apple and left Apple. He later invested 10 million US dollars from the producer and director of "Star Wars" Lucas. , Bought the computer animation effect studio of Emeryville under Lucasfilm, and changed the computer animation effect studio into an independent company. This company restructured from the computer animation effect studio is famous for later generations. Pixar Animation Studios.

Don’t watch Joe’s helper left Apple and changed hands to play animation, but the computer is still his favorite in his heart. So while he was ruining Pixar, Joe’s helper started the NeXT computer again. He hoped that the NeXT computer would be able to Become the second Apple computer and defeat the current Apple.

It's a pity that the leader of Joe's gang who left Apple has been reciting words for several years. Even if he invested heavily in NeXT computers, the sales of NeXT computers have always been tepid, or even bleak.

From the establishment of NeXT computers to the acquisition of NeXT computers by Apple, in the past ten years, NeXT computers have sold only a poor 50,000 units. Especially when the powerful storm created by the combination of indos operating system and Intel processor swept the world in 1995, not only Apple computers were fatally hit, but NeXT computers were also hard to survive.

The NeXT computer that had not sold well was a tasteless one!

At this time, Qiao’s gang leader was really about to become a beggar’s gang leader. He was also poor at that time and almost sold his blood and essence!

But the east is not bright and the west is bright. Perhaps God can't stand the genius who was once so desolate, so God quietly opened a window for Joe's gang leader.

The Pixar animation, which was not originally taken by Joe’s gang, after a few years, unexpectedly made the first computer 3D animation film "Toy Story" in the history of mankind.

At that time, the gang leader, including Joe himself, was not optimistic about the first feature-length animation filmed entirely in 3D computer animation in human history, but as a result, as soon as this "Toy Story" was released at the end of 1995, it was released in North America. Box office bomb. This animated film became the 1995 North American box office champion with a North American box office of 191 million US dollars! It is a global box office of 358 million U.S. dollars!

A movie immediately changed the shotgun of the Qiao gang leader, and the Qiao gang who was almost forced to sell blood and essence immediately turned into a billion-dollar wealthy man!

After solving his own difficulties, the leader of Qiao’s gang immediately turned his attention to his favorite Apple once and now. Apple is his own son, and now his son is in danger of death. How can the father of the Joe Clan allow his son to die?

Therefore, at the end of this year, under the operation of Jobs, Apple will acquire NeXT computers for 400 million U.S. dollars. The Joe gang who was ruthlessly driven out of Apple will return to Apple again as the savior!

Then everyone knows the next thing. As soon as Joe took office, he immediately contacted Microsoft, which was inextricably linked with Apple, because at that time Microsoft was desperately explaining the monopoly issue to the US Department of Justice. If Apple goes bankrupt, it will definitely be detrimental to Microsoft. Influence. The Joe’s gang caught the anxiety of Bill Gates and persuaded Microsoft to inject $150 million into Apple, allowing Apple to obtain extremely valuable funds.

With this funding to stabilize Apple, then the Joe gang began to display his suppressed talent for more than ten years. The great success of the iPod in 2001 was a concrete demonstration of Jobs' talent.

With the help of the iPod’s great success, Apple ushered in a turning point. Joe’s gang once again drastically reformed Apple. Using his keen sense of the market, he successively launched many popular products ~www.readwn.com~ and has been Continue to the launch of the iPhone!

It can be said that when the iPhone came, Apple ushered in the most glorious decade!

Some people even described the appearance of the iPhone as "one of the three Apples that changed the world."

In the history of human development, the appearance of three apples changed the world. The first is the apple that Adam and Eve ate in the Bible, which changed the world’s perception; the second was the apple that was smashed on Newton’s head, which changed the physical world; the third was when Jobs was bitten in the hand. Apple changed the technology world.

This may be an exaggeration, but I have to admit that Apple's mobile phone has indeed changed the world.

And this is also the ultimate goal pursued by the Lord Qiao in his life-to live is to change the world!

he made it!
