As Andy expected, some shareholders previously called on Apple's management to disclose ceo's succession plan to ensure that the company can "smoothly transition" after Jobs left. This proposal was not approved due to opposition from the majority of shareholders. Who will succeed Jobs? Continue to be suspense.

After the proposal was rejected, Andy noticed Tim Cook's nervousness dissipated, as if with relief.

Because at this time, he is the chief operating officer of Apple Inc. and father of iPod Joe Rubin Starr are two hot candidates. During Jobs' previous medical leave, Cook has been exercising ceo duties on behalf of the boss.

Cook has always regarded the position of eo as his own pocket, but when Joe's boss is absent, shareholders will inevitably sort out any moths, so nothing changes, which is the best situation for him.

Although before, the outside world and shareholders present were very dissatisfied with Steve Jobs 'concealing his true health status, but when it came to the meeting, shareholders did not have too much entanglement about Steve Jobs' health issues. They were more concerned about the health of the supply chain and Competition between iCrazy and Android smartphones.

Speaking of Android, the eyes of everyone present fell on Andy consciously or unintentionally. It is not a secret that the cooperation between Ziyou City App Store and Google was one of the reasons why Andy was unable to gain power on Apple's board of directors.

However, Andy doesn't care what other people think. Since Apple just wants to take him in and not let him hack it, then he will be 'honest' in salary, just like watching a movie, as for other things, He doesn't say much.

Just kidding, with a million dollars a year, I wanted him to give advice to Apple. I really wanted to blind these people.

"... Mr. Smith, do you have any suggestions for Apple's future development?"

Cook, who has played with Andy Smith several times, is very clear about the power of the young man in front of him. Even the proud and arrogant person, such as Boss Qiao, has to admit that he is a genius when talking about Andy.

Now that the other party has become Apple's director, Cook naturally will not let go of this opportunity to ask for advice, and would like to hear what the other party has to suggest, 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 specific situation of the company. I can't put forward opinions on construction, but, for one thing, I want to remind the board of directors.

I do n’t know if the company ignored the Tianchao market consciously or unconsciously. Why is the third generation of Aidang released, and the company still has not fully developed the Tianchao market? "

I was expecting Andy Smith to be able to say what good suggestions were present to the crowd. When I heard Andy's question, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, especially the board members' eyes were blinking.

"Cough ... Tianchao is negotiating there and can officially enter this year." Cook, who knew the inside, slightly unnaturally coughed twice and explained with a smile.

"Oh? That's a huge market of 1.3 billion people. Once opened, the sales of iphones will grow explosively. I believe that Apple's stock price will rise as a result. I have nothing else to say, thank you."

After Andy whispered, he looked nodded and said that he seemed to be afraid that everyone would not know the truth of the Tianchao market.

Looking at the unnatural expression m on the members of the board of directors and the thoughtful expression of the sole Chinese female director, Andy sneered in his heart.

Apple's problems in the dynasty are rooted in Jobs, he has never been to the dynasty once. In his mind, the Tianchao market is not even as good as Malaysia.

To put it higher, Jobs's dictionary doesn't have the concept of 'market demand', because he thinks his creativity will always be ahead of demand.

Steve Jobs, who is an artist himself, has arrogance in his bones. He does not pay attention to the market, especially the Tianchao market. This place with a large number of users and unlimited market potential is like other markets in Jobs' eyes. There is no reason to pay him special attention because None of this can inspire him. The creativity of Apple products comes from the designer's brain, not from a certain market.

In fact, the real reason lies in prejudice. Jobs's prejudice against the heavens is rooted in his deep influence on the culture of the heavenly pirated piracy. Of course, the most important thing is the commercial atmosphere of the rapid success of the contemporary dynasty. The destruction of it made Jobs, who is pursuing innovation and intellectual property-oriented, extremely disgusted. With this prejudice and confusion, even if the Tianchao market later gave Apple a delicious big cake, it still could not change his stubbornness. impression.

However, even if it was wrong, the arrogant Steve Jobs would not admit it, because he was the kind of person, not to mention that he also died shortly.

In fact, Andy can also understand Jobs' disgust about the rampant copycat market in Tianchao. After all, domestic shipments of copycat phones in Tianchao have exceeded 200 million, occupying a quarter of the market in Tianchao, and even spread to China, Southeast Asia, South Asia and other places.

Even more exaggerated is that some cottage phone manufacturers set up direct sales in Dibai, and Zhongdong has become the largest overseas customer for cottage machines!

To be honest, changing to any brand of mobile phone maker can't like this kind of cottage that is so large that it has formed a cluster scale.

After Andy made his speech, he kept the smile and watched the meeting silently until the shareholders meeting was over, left the meeting room, attended the next press conference, and announced the new board members to the outside world.

An hour later, all this was finally tortured. Under the leadership of Cook, Andy came to the office prepared for the director of Andy. After a brief greeting, Cook got up and left. After Andy sent him out, he turned around. Carefully examined the neat and bright, modernly decorated office.

Sitting on the boss chair, Andy's mouth turned up, and he smiled slightly. In any case, he finally sat in Apple's headquarters.

"嘀"

"Gary, come in a bit."

Andy said, holding down the answering machine on the table.

Soon the door of the office room was knocked. After Andy said in, he walked in an elite white young man dressed in a suit and leather shoes. This one was selected by Andy from his own think tank to be placed in Apple. Secretary here.

It's impossible for Andy to waste time with Apple. Usually, the secretary can stay at Apple's headquarters and keep up with the company's internal information.

"sit down."

"thank you boss."

After the other person sat down, Andy said, "Gary, the work here will be left to you. The main thing is to master the daily dynamics of the company. I am a major shareholder of Apple. I do n’t want to be really I'm in the dark, causing heavy losses to my stock. "

"Understand the boss." Gary nodded solemnly. "Boss, when I went to get the information just now, I heard a message that the marketing and public relations people were working on an emergency."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Andy asked curiously. Unexpectedly, Gary's work efficiency was so high that he could gain something just now.

"London this morning, a marketing company, a powerbook notebook suddenly smoked, and when it was inspected, it suddenly exploded. The flame struck 6 feet high. According to eyewitnesses, the flame rushed to the ceiling when the laptop exploded. Fortunately, At that time, no one was injured. This is a picture I know from the Internet later. The battery part is completely burned ... "Gary said, took out his mobile phone to find the picture, and handed it to the big boss with a strange expression.

Andy took the phone twitchingly, took a look at the photo above, and looked at the exploding and burning Apple laptop, feeling a throbbing heartbeat and inexplicable palpitations.

Nima, that's how I got dressed!

Andy grumbled in his heart.
