American Fortune Life

As Andy expected, some shareholders had previously called on Apple's management to disclose the CEO's succession plan to ensure the company's "smooth transition" after Jobs left. Continue to be suspenseful.

After the proposal was rejected, Andy clearly noticed that Tim Cook's nervous expression dissipated, as if he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, at this time, he, who is the chief operating officer of Apple, and Joe Rubinstaller, the father of the iPod, are the two most popular candidates. During Jobs' previous sick leave, Cook has been acting as CEO on behalf of Joe's boss.

Cook has always regarded the position of CEO as his own pocket. However, with the absence of Boss Joe, shareholders will inevitably mess up something, so nothing changes, which is the most beneficial situation for him.

Although the outside world and the shareholders present were very dissatisfied with Jobs' concealment of his real health status before, but when it came to the general meeting, the shareholders were not too entangled with Jobs' health issues. They were more concerned about the health of the supply chain and The competition between icrazy and Android smartphones and other issues.

Speaking of Android, everyone's eyes fell on Andy intentionally or unintentionally. The cooperation between Liberty City APP Mall and Google is not a secret, which is one of the reasons why Andy cannot gain power in Apple's board of directors.

However, Andy doesn't care what other people think. Since Apple just wants to recruit him and not let him make trouble, then he will 'honestly' get his salary and just watch the show. As for other things, he doesn't care. Will say more.

Just kidding, spend a million dollars a year, just want him to advise Apple, really want to blind these people's hearts.

"...Mr. Smith, do you have any suggestions for the future development of Apple?"

Cook, who has fought against Andy Smith several times, is very aware of the strength of this young man in front of him. Even a arrogant person like Boss Joe has to admit that he is a genius when talking about Andy.

Now that the other party has become a director of Apple, Cook will naturally not let go of this opportunity to ask for advice, and also wants to hear the other party's suggestions, even if the other party will not say anything important.

"After all, I just joined the board of directors, and I'm still very unfamiliar with the company's specific situation. I can't put forward constructive opinions now, but there is one thing I want to remind the board of directors.

I don't know if the company is ignoring the Tianchao market consciously or subconsciously. Why is it that the company has not fully developed the Tianchao market even after the third generation of Ai Crazy? "

The people present who had expected Andy Smith, a genius, to come up with some good suggestions, couldn't help but look a little disappointed when they heard Andy's question, especially the eyes of the board members.

"Ahem...the Tianchao side is negotiating, and they can officially enter this year." Cook, who knew the inside story, coughed a little unnaturally, and explained with a smile.

"Oh? That's a big market with a population of 1.3 billion. Once it is opened, the sales of icrazy mobile phones will explode. I believe that Apple's stock price will rise because of this. I have nothing else to say, thank you."

After Andy let out a soft sound, he nodded and said with the original expression, as if he was afraid that everyone would not know the truth about the Tianchao Market.

Seeing the unnatural expressions on the faces of the board members and the thoughtful expression of the only Chinese female director, Andy sneered in his heart.

The root of Apple's problems in China is Jobs, who has never been to China once. In his mind, the Chinese market is not even as good as Malaysia.

To put it bluntly, Jobs does not have the concept of "market demand" in his dictionary, because he thinks that his creativity will always be ahead of demand.

Jobs, who regarded himself as an artist, had arrogance in his bones. He didn't pay much attention to the market, especially the Tianchao market. This place with a huge number of users and unlimited market potential was the same as other markets in Jobs' eyes.

There is no reason for him to pay special attention, because none of these can inspire him. The ideas of Apple products come from the brains of designers, not from a certain market.

In fact, the real reason lies in prejudice. Jobs’ prejudice against China is rooted in his deep influence on pirated Chinese culture. Of course, the most important thing is the business atmosphere of the contemporary China, which is eager for quick success and quick profits. Jobs, who pursues innovation and pays attention to intellectual property rights, is extremely disgusted by the destruction of China. With this prejudice and incomprehension, even if the Chinese market later gave Apple a delicious big cake, it still cannot change his stubbornness. impression.

However, even if it was wrong, the arrogant Jobs would not admit it, because he was that kind of person, not to mention that he was dying at that time.

In fact, Andy can also understand Jobs' distaste for the rampant copycats in the Tianchao market. After all, the domestic shipments of China's fake mobile phones have exceeded 200 million, accounting for a quarter of the Tianchao market, and even radiate in Dong, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. and so on.

What is even more exaggerated is that some counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers set up direct sales in Dibai, and Zhongdong became the largest overseas customer of counterfeit mobile phones!

To be honest, if you were any brand mobile phone manufacturer, you would not like this kind of copycat army that is so huge that it has formed a cluster scale.

After Andy finished his speech, he kept his smile and watched the meeting without saying a word, until the end of the general meeting of shareholders, he left the venue, attended the next press conference, and announced the new members of the board of directors to the outside world.

An hour later, all the tossing was finally over. Under the guidance of Cook, Andy came to the office prepared for Andy, the director. After a while of polite greetings, Cook stood up and said goodbye. After Andy sent him out, he turned around. He took a closer look at the clean, bright and modernly decorated office.

Sitting on the boss's chair, Andy's mouth turned up, and he smiled faintly. No matter what, he finally sat in Apple's headquarters.

"Beep—"

"Gary, come in here."

Andy pressed the answering machine on the table and said.

Soon there was a knock on the door of the office, and after Andy said to come in, a young white man in a suit and leather shoes walked in. secretary here.

It is impossible for Andy to waste time on Apple. Usually, this secretary can stay at Apple's headquarters to keep abreast of the company's internal news.

"sit down."

"thank you boss."

After the other party sat down, Andy said: "Gary, I will leave the work here to you in the future. The main thing is to grasp the company's daily dynamics. I am a major shareholder of Apple. I don't want to be really caught by some people." I was kept in the dark and lost a lot of money on my stock."

"Understood, boss." Gary nodded with a serious expression. "Boss, when I went to get the materials just now, I heard the news that people from the marketing department and the public relations department are dealing with an emergency."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Andy asked curiously. He didn't expect that Gary's work efficiency was so high that he would be rewarded just after he arrived.

"London this morning, in a marketing company, a PowerBook notebook suddenly smoked. During inspection, it suddenly exploded, and the flames shot straight up to 6 feet. According to eyewitnesses, when the notebook exploded, the flames went straight to the ceiling. Fortunately, , No one was injured at that time, this is a photo I learned from the Internet later, the battery part has been completely burned..." Gary said, took out his phone to find the picture, and handed it to the big boss with a strange expression.

The corner of Andy's mouth twitched and took the phone, looked at the photos on it, and looked at the exploded and blackened Apple laptop, feeling a burst of palpitations and unspeakable toothache.

Nima, this is how I dress up!

Andy complained angrily in his heart.
