Chapter 229 Jobs

"Steve, you are late, the sailing competition is over. If you had come earlier, you could enjoy a... unprecedented competition."

Larry Ellison originally wanted to say that it was a wonderful game, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out because he really couldn't think of what was so wonderful about the game just now.

"Larry, you know, I have no interest in sailing. If possible, I would rather use this time to practice meditation. If you are also interested in practicing Zen, I would be happy to discuss it with you."

If it were anyone else, they might realize that there is a problem with Larry Ellison's words and even explore it, but Steve Jobs has no interest in it.

The person who came was none other than Steve Jobs, known as the Joe Gang Leader. When it comes to Jobs and Zen, it can be said that everyone knows that since Jobs read "The Original Mind of a Zen Man" written by Shunryu Suzuki in his freshman year, he has been fascinated by Zen.

He became a loyal believer in Zen Buddhism, and from then on, he became a staunch vegetarian.

"Forget it, my friend. I only like sports. If you ask me to practice Zen, you might as well kill me."

"No, in addition to liking sports, you also like young girls." Jobs said with a smile.

Although the two people are very good friends, their interests and hobbies are completely different. This is also what is strange to most people. One likes to be extremely quiet, the other likes to be extremely active, and the two bosses with completely different personalities have become the most popular.

Good friends. And when the two talked about each other, they never took into account that Jobs once commented on Larry Ellison in front of reporters, saying that his motivation for progress was young girls.

"Okay Steve, let's not talk about this for now. Let me introduce you to a friend. This is Zheng Yan from China. And just today, he became one of our shareholders in Oracle."

"Zheng Yan, this is Steve Jobs. He is my best friend. Since you have always been keen on investing in the Internet industry, you must know something about him."

Zheng Yan thought to himself that more than just understanding, although Steve Jobs was kicked out of Apple and temporarily fell into a low point in his life, the name of Apple's Godfather was not for nothing.

"Jobs

Sir, I have known you for so long, I never thought that the friend Larry introduced to me would be you."

Originally, Zheng Yan only came to meet Larry Ellison's friends with the mentality of expanding her network. However, after meeting Steve Jobs, Zheng Yan instantly changed her mentality. She must hug this thick thigh tightly.

"Hello Zheng Yan, speaking of it, I am just a loser who was kicked out. Since you are Larry's friend, you can just call me Steve."

Although Jobs was deeply hit by the betrayal of his partners, it did not defeat him. After leaving Apple, he established a computer company, but the current situation of the company is not very good.

"Let's go, let's find a place to have something to eat and chat together."

After the sailing competition, Larry Ellison didn't want to continue standing on the beach blowing the sea breeze.

"Steve, I think you should change your vegetarian habit, otherwise your body will have problems sooner or later."

Larry Ellison was just out of advice from friends, but he didn't expect that Jobs' health did have problems a few years later, leading to his death at the age of fifty-six. However, whether this was related to his vegetarianism

, no one knows.

"Okay Larry, you have said this issue many times, and you know you can't convince me. Let's talk about yourself. Listen to what you just said, did this financing come from Zheng Yan?"

Jobs was very aware of how difficult Larry Ellison was, so he quickly changed the topic. And he also wanted to know whether Larry Ellison's problem had been solved.

"You guessed it right. Just this morning, Zheng Yan and I have signed an agreement. He raised $250 million in Oracle and obtained 12% of Oracle's shares. As long as we have this funding, I

I believe that Oracle can not only get out of this predicament, but also reach a higher level."

Talking about Oracle, Larry Ellison is obviously in a good mood. Recently, he has put a lot of effort into solving the funding problem.

"By the way, you may not know that Zheng Yan is not only a shareholder of Oracle, but he is also a shareholder of Cisco. I think

Soon, he will also become one of Apple's shareholders."

Although Jobs has left Apple, he is the company he founded after all. Hearing Larry Ellison mention Apple, he couldn't help but be a little interested. So Larry Ellison told Zheng Yan about the bet between Zheng Yan and Buddy Morris.

one time.

After Larry Ellison's explanation, Jobs also became curious about Zheng Yan. Although Jobs has now started his own business again, he became a billionaire at the age of twenty-five, so he was naturally not proud of it.

It is comparable to ordinary people. Now, Zheng Yan, who is younger than him and worth far more than him, suddenly appears. It would be abnormal if he is not curious.

"When Apple went public, I was praised by countless media, and I was very proud of myself. But looking at you now, I suddenly realize that the achievements I achieved back then were nothing at all."

Like most people who knew Zheng Yan's details, Jobs also felt that he had been hit, but no one knew that Zheng Yan had a cheating artifact that no one could match. It's like a game, while others are slowly beating monsters and leveling up.

When buying equipment, Zheng Yan already had a set of god-level equipment, and there was no comparison at all.

"Steve, I just have better luck."

Although he had heard the same praise countless times, Zheng Yan still felt a little embarrassed, especially since there was a real great god sitting opposite him, and these words came from the mouth of this great god.

"By the way, Zheng Yan, your bet with Buddy Morris was to use Apple's shares as a bet. Are you very interested in Apple?"

Although he left Apple, Jobs's company is still engaged in the computer industry, and he is certainly aware of Apple's situation. Apple's computer sales have continued to decline in the past two years, and its stock price has plummeted, which made Jobs feel strange about Zheng Yan's decision.

, he did not believe that Zheng Yan could not see the problems that most people saw.

"Steve, to tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about Apple's future, and I am even more optimistic about Apple than Cisco and Oracle. However, I am not optimistic about the current Apple. This bet is just

An investment in the future.”
