No. 1, infinite Ring Road, Cupertino, Silicon Valley, California, USA, Apple's headquarters, is an apple Technology Park. The green space around the building, the park design is similar to the University. The main body of the administrative building is not so good, even the county government building of the rabbit country is not so good.

As jobs' first disciple in the company, cook opened the door of jobs' office and walked in.

"What's the matter?" Jobs looked up from various documents and asked cook, who had already sat opposite him.

"I just got an appointment. Andy Smith wants to see you. He says he has business to talk to you face to face." Cook nodded slightly and told boss Joe.

"Andy Smith, in fact, I'd like to see this large shareholder of our company. He's under a lot of pressure in recent years. I didn't expect that he would be so fond of crazy cell phones..." He said with a smile on his face.

Cook also shook his head and smiled bitterly. To be honest, he didn't have any confidence in the phone. Although the press conference played a good role, the first version of the phone only supports the 2G network connection provided by at & T. it's easy to lose packets and lose lines. The key is that the network speed is like a turtle, comparable to the suffering of dial-up Internet in those days.

Especially when the board of directors just passed the resolution recently, boss Qiao offered a intoxicating price. The price of 499 and 599 dollars is intoxicating, 2-3 times the price of other products.

Cook is a product designer. He is quite satisfied with the design of the crazy mobile phone, even though there is only one button on the front of the whole machine!!! This is a complete violation of the then popular mobile multi button design. The huge size of the body and the pursuit of digital products at that time the concept of thin completely conflict.

But he is also confident that people will fall in love with the appearance of the mobile phone. It's just that the appearance of the mobile phone is not enough. The content is the king. There is no app for users to use. Can you just call and listen to music at such a high price?

Jobs also knows about these difficulties, but paranoia, such as him, will not accept failure. Even if this mobile phone is really a failure product, he will carry it to the end. Just like Microsoft's front hard steel.

He came back to Apple as a savior. How could he fail!

"Look at today's newspapers... Andy Smith has become a babe in their eyes. Are these people the babes they are talking about who have made money they haven't made in their lives in a few months? All idiots! "

Jobs grabbed the newspaper at his hand and spread it in the air. On his thin face, his glasses were shining and his face was full of sarcasm. He had been attacked by the media for a long time. He knew the faces of these media. Well, who made the stains on his body so invisible.

"Inform the other party and invite Andy Smith to visit the apple Industrial Park in my name. Since an outsider is so fond of crazy cell phones, we can no longer pretend to ignore them. Microsoft and Nokia have made enough mockery in this period of time. The second generation machine should make samples as soon as possible and solve some problems of crazy 1 as soon as possible. Especially in the black background, the problem of unable to replace wallpaper, no problem of horizontal keyboard, and the main problem of network speed, 3G is the key... "

Cook left jobs' office with a wry smile. Just now, boss Qiao was a self-examination and self answer from a stranger who couldn't get in at all. Alas, being a younger brother under such a strong man, and controlling Yu is so rebellious. It's really depressing for the CEO to ask about everything.

Jobs in the office looked at his increasingly thin image in the mirror, and his eyes flashed with reluctance and firmness. He was very clear about what his body was. No matter how much money he spent, he would only let himself live for a longer time. In a limited time, he would always leave a deep and colorful pen to the world, which would make the world wonder, worship or sigh I'm afraid that he had the capital to be preserved in the history of science and technology long ago.

The breeze blew, flipping the newspaper on the table, making a rustling sound, looking at Andy Smith's handsome young picture, whispering: "what an interesting little guy..."

Under Andy's grim picture in the newspaper is a line of headline: "did money swoon Andy Smith's brain and make him a joker?"

"The era of real smart phones has come, and the death knell of traditional pseudo smart phones has been sounded! ——Andy Smith "

San Francisco mocks the conference room of bird games.

Andy smiles with sunshine on his face, looking at the representatives of the three opposite banks and the teams behind him. The atmosphere in the conference room is very strange.

In particular, the representative of Bank of America, Lewis, the former credit customer manager who dealt with Andy in his first loan, has been promoted to a major customer manager. He is looking at Andy with a little grudge, and is full of caution and hostility to the representatives of the other two banks around him.

Well, this is a loan related to 500-800 million US dollars. Look at the assets appraisal on hand. Tut, it's so tempting. This game company is just a hen laying golden eggs!

The eyes of representatives of the other two banks are also shining with greed. What Wall Street speculators can't do is that they have the opportunity to share the rapid development dividend of the game company in advance. How can they not be happy and excited."You've seen the information in hand. This is the financial situation that our game company can announce to the public. Although it's not very detailed, I think it's enough for you to make a judgment. Our boss doesn't want to waste too much time on the negotiation table. So next, please write down the loan amount and interest rate of your bank, and we will choose one of them as our partner, There's only one chance. If you can't meet our requirements, I'm sorry. We'll renegotiate with other banks... "

With a calm smile on his face, alvette sat in the middle of the room and looked at the three bank representatives who had changed color on the opposite side. He said the request without any concern. The voice fell down. The three bank representatives sank into the ink and looked at each other. They all saw helplessness, unwillingness and vigilance from each other's eyes.

To be honest, when they walked into the conference room and saw each other, they guessed that there would be such a play. No one is a fool. This kind of negotiation has been experienced.

In doing so, the companies that give the banks eyedrops are basically in the buyer's market. The banks have few choices, unless they don't want to make this business. If they want to win the business, they have to compete with each other at a lower price. This is yangmou!

Uncomfortable? Feeling a lump? OK, you can quit. The other two would like to have one less opponent!

"Three, I want to tell you that this business is just the beginning. I'm still young and ambitious. There are many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I'm very nostalgic and like to work with old friends. I think Mr. Lewis, the representative of Bank of America, should be the most clear. So I'm looking forward to a long-term partner among the three."

Andy sat next to alvertriel and said something that made everyone look weird. The three bank representatives on the opposite side couldn't cry or laugh. What a big bait. Are they biting, biting or biting!
