American Fortune Life

In the previous life, since the death of Jobs, Apple's creativity has been bleak, disappointing all Apple fans. This is probably the biggest reason why most people around the world complain that Cook is not as good as Jobs.

When it comes to innovation, Cook is indeed in an embarrassing situation.

However, Andy doesn't think that Apple lacks innovation, and Cook is really to blame. If Jobs is still there, does Apple still have subversive innovation capabilities?

This is probably not the case.

After all, Cook is the successor chosen by Jobs himself. Boss Joe is very clear about what Cook is best at, data and operations. He is very clear that Cook is not a visionary or an innovator at all.

As there are more and more companies in Andy's business, there are more and more things that need to be understood about corporate management. Looking at Apple from his current perspective, especially when looking at problems when he is standing higher than everyone else , You can really clearly see the difficulties and troubles Apple is facing.

To put it bluntly, regardless of whether Jobs is present or not, Apple's development strategy from disruptive innovation as its core competitiveness to operations as its core competitiveness is inevitable given the limited supply chain and fierce competition in the Android system.

Because, the growth of a truly excellent enterprise depends on the management system formed over time, and the beginning of the decline is also due to the improvement of good operational capabilities.

Andy joined Apple's board of directors, also to learn, to learn from Apple.

As an existence that can 'foresee the future', Andy can indeed ignore anyone. However, Andy is not the kind of conceited fool, he knows that he can't rely on that little capital to be awesome for a lifetime, after all' Plug-in time' limited.

Andy also has to admit that Apple is a great company!

Apple is the first to perfectly combine an obsessive industrial product concept with an extreme industrial system within the visible range of human beings, and has reached the pinnacle.

Andy joined Apple because he hoped to understand and learn the entire system from the inside, which includes supply chain management concepts, organizational structure concepts, talent concepts, and so on.

From this standpoint, Apple is undoubtedly the king, even if only the king of the current era.

Therefore, in the next few days, Andy used his status as a member of the board of directors to read a large number of minutes of Apple's board of directors and company meetings, as well as some internal materials, hoping to learn some management experience from them.

Not to mention, Andy really figured out Cook's so-called supply chain management system that is unparalleled in the world, and he really realized that the real ruthless person is not Jobs, but this Tim Cook Ke is the real cold-blooded capitalist in the textbook.

According to the minutes of Apple's internal meetings, it is its long-term policy not to disclose the supply chain.

On the one hand, Apple itself does not manufacture electronic equipment and does not participate in the management and operation of manufacturing plants. On the other hand, it is because behind Apple’s glamorous sales data are tens of thousands of workers in electronic equipment manufacturers. The result of working on time and working day and night.

Although many problems in the electronic equipment supply chain are not just Apple's business, they are contemporary and are the drawbacks of the traditional manufacturing process itself.

Yet Apple's supply chain has almost always been under Cook's control. And Cook's work style has always been to put pressure on the team, and the team put pressure on the suppliers, and the suppliers put pressure on the workers.

Jobs, it's not that Cook doesn't know what's going on with the workers at the lowest end of the supply chain, it's just that they don't care at all, and they don't care about others. It has nothing to do with Apple's interests, unless it affects Apple itself.

In those materials, it is clearly recorded that Cook said at a meeting that he should be as strict as possible without involving ethics.

Even once, when he got the production schedule, Cook once said, why don't you work on Sunday?

"hehe.

. . "

Andy, who was sitting in the general manager's office of Mockingjay Games, closed the document in his hand, shook his head and chuckled, picked up the coffee cup by the desk, and drank slowly.

Andy didn't mean to ridicule or despise Apple or Cook, but was happy to find out about Apple's supply chain management system. After all, he was also going to eat a piece of the mobile phone cake.

Since you don't understand some things, you have to read more, think more and learn more. It is not a lie that stones from other mountains can be used to make jade.

"Boom——"

"Boss, Mr. Vitley, you are already online..." The little assistant, who was wearing a pretty and fresh delicate color-blocking floral shirt and a slim and elegant fishtail skirt, walked in with a pair of black high-heeled shoes. The skirt has a more graceful curve, and the slender and slender big white T is vividly displayed.

"Well, I see." Andy put down his coffee cup, shook the mouse, looked up at the little assistant standing opposite with a charming smile on his face, and said, "When Lulana comes back from London Fashion Week, you and She goes to Miami or Malibu to pick a beach house she likes."

"Give it to me?" the little assistant's beautiful eyes widened, and she asked uncertainly in surprise.

Andy gave her an angry look, "What do you think!"

"Great! Giggle..."

thump——

"Boom~"

"thank you boss."

Tory Black leaned over and printed a bright chun mark on Andy's cheek, her pretty face was slightly flushed, and she was very happy.

"Money fan! Well, let's go out."

"Snapped!

The little assistant walked out of the office slowly with her slender waist twisting her slender waist, as if she was worried that the big devil would not see it clearly, and intentionally increased the swing.

When the office door was closed, Andy withdrew his gaze, shook his head and laughed, and clicked on the video icon. After a window popped up, the black screen quickly brightened, and the real-time picture of the Gaia conference room in New York appeared in the video.

"It's time to start."

Andy nodded calmly at the people opposite, and said lightly.

"... New York stock markets suffered a heavy sell-off yesterday, March 2, as worries about the financial system led to panic selling by investors, with the Dow Jones falling below the 6,800 mark for the first time since March 1997 and the S\u0026P 500 approaching 700 Click on the pass.

In the past week, the income from shorting stock index futures has reached 230 million. . . . . .

Day-to-day turmoil in the US financial and commodity markets also added negative factors to the decline in gold. Gold futures fell for a sixth day in a row. . .

London time, this morning, before the London stock market opened, HSBC announced that it would raise US$17.7 billion in funds through the issuance of new shares to increase its capital adequacy ratio.

At the same time, the bank announced its 2008 performance report. Last year, the bank's pre-tax profit was US$9.3 billion, a sharp drop of 60% from the previous year. Shares in the bank plummeted 18 percent after the opening bell. Affected by this, Standard Chartered Bank, Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland also suffered a decline between 2% and 15%.

Just now, the London stock market fell to its lowest point in six years, and the "Financial Times" average price index of 100 stocks dropped more than 200 points from the previous trading day, a drop of up to 5%.

Affected by this, the other two major stock indexes in Europe also suffered declines to varying degrees. The news in Europe seriously hit investors' confidence in the global financial market, and they worried that the market would deteriorate day by day. Affected by this, US stocks continued to fall after the opening bell. . . "

"Tsk tsk..."

Andy heard all kinds of data reported by his subordinates. Of course, he is most concerned about how much money he has earned. Since Britain has lifted the short-selling restrictions on financial stocks, the record of the London branch is amazing, 160 million pounds In terms of income, it leads all investment groups under Andy, and even exceeds the US headquarters' income of 230 million yuan.

To be honest, although money is just a bunch of numbers to Andy now, making money is always a very happy thing.

However, Andy also knows that the good days of the financial crisis are almost over, it's time to stop and prepare to launch the "Savior Plan"!

"Two days later, on March 5th, all short-selling funds belonging to us will be returned! That's right, all positions will be cleared! Don't keep any money, prepare funds, and wait for my order. I am going to start buying the entire United States!"

In the meeting room of Gaia Corporation in New York, except for Alvetrie and Bardstone who knew the plan, everyone else was dumbfounded looking at the big boss with bright eyes and a serious expression on the big screen. He was definitely not joking.
