Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 4120: The helplessness of both sides

"What's the future of Apple?" Lin Feng's words left Jobs stunned for a while.

He expected that Lin Feng would ask a lot of questions, but he didn't expect that Lin Feng would get straight to the point and ask such a question. This question is really surprising. Jobs was extremely confident about Apple's future. But Lin Feng's words obviously had ulterior motives.

"Lin Feng, what do you mean by this?" Jobs asked, "Although your 'Fuxi' has the upper hand at the moment, this is only the first round. We still have many rounds to fight, as long as one side does not defeat the other If you fail, then it’s not a win or a loss!”

Lin Feng chuckled.

"Steve, I know you are very confident. But I know better what smartphones can be used for. So, I believe I am still very confident in who will knock down whom in the future." Lin Feng chuckled, He had a relaxed and indifferent look on his face, as if he had everything to win.

Naturally, Jobs would not be intimidated by Lin Feng's few words. If you were intimidated by this, it wouldn't be Steve Jobs.

"Lin Feng, everything in this world ultimately depends on strength, not words. Although your words are indeed very powerful, you can turn white into black, and turn dead into living. But it doesn't mean that you can turn things around. , reversing yin and yang. Everything depends on strength. "Jobs is also full of confidence.

The next generation of ‘Fuxi’, he has absolute confidence to surpass Lin Feng’s ‘Fuxi’. Although "Fuxi" will continue to be upgraded, Jobs does not believe that the next generation of "Fuxi" can surpass the next generation of "Fuxi". This is not Jobs' arrogance, but stems from his confidence in himself. ‘Apple’s’ ability to innovate. That's absolutely superb.

"Steve, how about this? How about we make a bet!" Lin Feng thought for a while and suddenly laughed.

bet? Jobs frowned. Betting with Lin Feng would basically mean losing 9 out of 10 bets. If you still have 10% left, the best you can do is protect your capital. He didn't want to fall into Lin Feng's trap.

"Haha, Steve, you don't want to listen to my bet, so you have to reject it. Are you so unsure of yourself?" Lin Feng chuckled, "Actually, my bet is just like those of venture capital investors. It sets a goal. , if it cannot be reached, the venture capital will formally invest. If it can be reached, the company can redeem the shares with the stock price of the day. Let's bet on the sales volume of the next generation of 'Fuxi' and '. Fight! Next year, whoever has the highest sales volume will have the right to merge with the next generation, what do you think?"

Dominant merger rights! Jobs's eyes flashed coldly. Lin Feng wants to annex Apple. The ambition is really big. However, even if he has this appetite, can he digest it? Apple is not a small company, and Lin Feng is not afraid of choking him when swallowing Apple.

"Lin Feng.

Your bet is not very fair! "Jobs pondered for a moment and said.

This bet. The most important thing is fairness. At present, this is unfair. Lin Feng’s ‘Phantom Technology’ is basically just an assembly company. The hardware used is from the 'Second World', the system used is also from the 'Second World', and the games used are from the 'Second World'. ‘Phantom Technology’ only designed the appearance of ‘Fuxi’ and debugged various software and hardware. On the contrary, Apple designs everything from hardware to software, inside and out. There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

"If you really want to bet, then use your 'Second World' to bet!" Jobs made the condition.

It's not that the two sides can't gamble, but the chips must be equal. ‘Second World’ is enough to be on par with ‘Apple’.

"Ha, Steve, the market value of 'Second World' now exceeds 300 billion US dollars, while 'Apple' has just exceeded 100 billion US dollars, how can we compare it?" Lin Feng looked at Jobs with interest. The gap is too big. Jobs said that "Phantom Technology" and "Apple" cannot be compared. Similarly, today's "Apple" and "Second World" cannot be compared.

Jobs shrugged.

"But it's you who wants to bet, isn't it? I, Apple, have no interest in it at all." Jobs said slyly. Generally speaking, in this kind of bet, the party initiating the bet has an advantage. Jobs didn't know what Lin Feng's confidence was, but it was not that easy to take advantage of Apple. If you want to bet, you have to suffer some losses. Bet your 'second world' against '.

Otherwise, he won't do it! He won't do anything cheap. You, Lin Feng, are smart, and he, Steve Jobs, is not stupid either.

Lin Feng's face twitched. This Jobs was cunning enough, and he had spotted his own weakness. Now, he was in a bit of trouble. If you agree to this, you will obviously suffer too much. Although Lin Feng is very confident, what if he loses? There is a contingency in everything. If you really lose, will you be cheating? And if you win, it’s not worth it. But if you want to give up now, it will be even easier for Steve Jobs to ridicule you.

This is really like eating sugar cane, but suddenly discovering that there is a worm in the sugar cane. Not to mention how disgusting it felt. Of course, what could be more disgusting than that? Not two worms, but half a worm. That feeling was not to mention disgusting.

"Steve, you are really trying to conquer our army!" Lin Feng said meaningfully, "But I want to ask, if Apple loses, are you really willing to merge Apple into my company?" Lin Feng said meaningfully. Feng asked.

"Haha, if you lose, will you be willing?" Jobs asked without answering.

This question is a comparison of the seriousness of both parties in this bet. In the past, for this kind of bet, venture capital funds would sign a contract with the founder of the company, agreeing on when and what performance the company must achieve. If it achieves the performance, the founder will get what funds or get the equity back. If it fails to achieve the founder's performance, How it must be. These all need to be clarified in black and white in a contract. But there is no need for such a contract between Lin Feng and Jobs. What is needed is integrity from both parties.

"If you lose, then of course you are willing to admit defeat!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice. "I have had many bets in my life, but the stakes are so big. This is the first time in my life. But I didn't expect that Mr. Jobs would really be willing to bet with me."

"Haha, under normal circumstances, I would not engage in such a boring bet with you. Because in any bet, there is a possibility of cheating. I don't know if you can cheat, but if you can, I will never take such a risk. Unnecessary risk." Jobs said something that was a bit confusing.

Lin Feng frowned. Want to ask. But seeing the indifference on Jobs's face, he obviously didn't want to mention what he said before, so Lin Feng didn't say anything more.

"Then it's settled. Next year, one battle will determine the outcome!" Lin Feng stretched out his right hand.

"One battle will determine the outcome!" Jobs held Lin Feng's hand and said decisively.

"Then farewell!" Lin Feng clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Jobs placed his hand gently on his upper abdomen. After a while, a faint layer of water dropped on my face.

There was no time, he really was out of time. Otherwise, he would not agree to Lin Feng's bet. And if Apple didn't have him, he didn't think Apple would be Lin Feng's opponent. Lin Feng was too scary. He didn't think that he would be Lin Feng's opponent after losing his 'apple'.

"Boss, is it necessary to take such a risky bet?" Lin Chiling asked worriedly.

"It's necessary! Because I'm not sure that I will be able to win Apple in a few years. To be honest, what I have here -" Lin Feng pointed to his head, "the things in it are almost used up, and I am running out of ideas." No idea, and Apple is the most innovative company on the planet. I need Apple to keep my business empire strong, so I have to take a risk.”

Lin Chiling, Natalie and others looked at each other. When it comes to creativity, my boss seems to be more creative than Apple. Well, even if the boss's creativity is running out, can Apple always be creative?

Little did the girls know that what Lin Feng was talking about was creativity, but actually he was referring to the memory in his brain. Lin Feng's memory is almost gone, so Lin Feng needs to make up for it. And Jobs was his favorite candidate.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't know that Jobs was already ill at this moment, otherwise Jobs wouldn't be so anxious. The disease that Steve Jobs suffered from was called pancreatic cancer. This is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract that is highly malignant and difficult to diagnose and treat. About 90% are ductal adenocarcinomas originating from glandular epithelium. Its survival rate is extremely low, about 1%. And this 1% still refers to the case where excellent therapeutic effects are obtained. Otherwise, it won’t be enough in five years, but in one or two years.

It's a pity that Lin Feng doesn't know now. If he had known about it, he would have asked Hua Shiqi to see Steve Jobs. In the world where Lin Feng was reborn, although Steve Jobs was ill, he kept it a secret and only went to the hospital from time to time. It wasn't until later, when it couldn't be delayed any longer, that it became known to the outside world.

After leaving Apple, Lin Feng went to Symantec, and now the two parties have reached an acquisition agreement. 'Second World' fully acquired Symantec, and this was naturally due to John Doerr, Symantec's largest shareholder, selling his equity to 'Second World'. Otherwise, if you want to complete this transaction Acquisition is absolutely impossible.

The biggest reason why John Doerr was able to sell his shares to Lin Feng was because he made a huge profit in the mobile phone battle between Lin Feng and Apple. And this stroke was naturally due to Lin Feng’s previous guidance.

"Hi, Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you this time!" John Doerr said with a smile.

"Haha, happy cooperation. Mr. Duer should win a lot this time!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

John Doerr was originally advised to buy more Apple stocks in the stock market. After all, even if Apple is impacted and suppressed by its own "Fuxi", its sales will be amazing, and its stock price will inevitably rise. There is a huge increase. As for Lam Feng's 'Second World', since it is not the company that directly launched 'Fuxi', although its games are very popular, it is not a direct company after all, so the stock price increase is limited, and the stock price of 'Second World' is already very high. , without much stimulation, it is difficult to make its stock price rise.

Therefore, this time in the stock market, as the most famous venture capitalist in the United States, John Doerr made a lot of money. As for off-site, in casinos and bookmakers, John Doerr bought Lin Fengying. This also made him a fortune. Although he didn't make as much money as he did in the stock market, he still made hundreds of millions of dollars. This also makes John Doerr extremely satisfied.

Therefore, in the subsequent Symantec transaction, John Doerr readily sold his Symantec shares to 'Second World'. As for whether 'Symantec' will be more profitable in the future, that has nothing to do with him. It doesn’t matter anymore. The money he wants to earn is enough. This person must be content. If people are dissatisfied, they will get lost in this materialistic and luxurious world. This is especially true for venture capitalists like him.

"Mr. Lin, Nokia will launch 'n97' soon. What do you think Nokia will do?" John Doerr asked.

Lin Feng understood what John Doerr meant. If Nokia's n97 is good, compared to Nokia's recent stock price plunge due to the 'n95', this is an opportunity to buy at the bottom. At present, many financial traders are optimistic about Nokia and want to get in at the bottom, and then make a fortune by taking advantage of the popularity of 'n97'. John Doerr was also interested. But he is not sure whether Nokia can still defend its status as the king of the mobile phone industry. Lin Feng just happened to be here, so he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity go.

This person, sometimes, relies on his network resources. The more popular you are, the more ways you can make money and the faster you can make money. And John Doerr is a leader in this aspect, otherwise how could he become the most famous venture capitalist in the United States.

"Haha, Mr. Duer, if you believe me, then you'd better not touch Nokia again. Now is the era of smartphones, and Nokia is old. When it gets old, it will be eliminated by society. Don't look at it in the past thirteen years. It has been the leader in the mobile phone industry for many years, but in the crazy era when Moore's Law is about to expire, one mistake will knock it off the throne and even fall into the abyss. I believe that not only Nokia, but also Microsoft. "It has fallen behind and has not grasped the mobile era. Microsoft has fallen behind!" Lin Feng lamented.

With the advent of the big mobile era, all individuals and companies that cannot keep up with the pace of the times will be eliminated!
