American Fortune Life

In previous lives, since the death of Jobs, Apple's creativity has been bleak, disappointing all fruit fans. This is probably the biggest reason why most people in the world are not as good as Steve Cook.

In the matter of innovation, Cook did fall into an awkward position.

However, Andy doesn't think that Apple lacks innovation. It really is to blame Cook. Assuming Jobs is still there, does Apple still have the innovative ability to subvert Xing?

This is not necessarily the case.

After all, Cook was the successor that Jobs personally chose. Joe's boss knew exactly what Cook was best at, data, and operations. He knew very well that Cook was not a visionary and innovator at all.

With the increasing number of Andy's companies, more and more aspects of corporate management need to be understood. From his current perspective, look at Apple, especially when standing higher than everyone else when looking at problems. It can really clearly see the dilemma and trouble that Apple is facing.

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

Because the growth of a truly outstanding company depends on the management system formed by Jiu Jiu, and the beginning of the decline is due to the improvement of good operating capabilities.

Andy joined Apple's board of directors for the same purpose, to learn from Apple.

As being able to 'foresee the future', Andy can indeed not put anyone in his eyes. However, Andy is not that kind of arrogance. He knows that he can't rely on that cost for a lifetime, after all. Plug-in time is limited.

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

Apple took the lead in perfectly combining a persistent industrial product concept with an extreme industrial system within the visible range of human beings, and achieved its peak.

Andy joined Apple in order to understand and learn the entire system category from the inside. This category includes supply chain management concepts, organizational structure concepts, talent concepts, and so on.

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

So, in the next few days, Andy used his identity as a member of the board of directors to read a lot of the minutes of Apple's board of directors and company meetings, as well as some internal materials, in the hope of learning and absorbing some management experience.

Not to mention, Andy really learned from Cook's so-called global unmatched supply chain management system, and also realized that the real cruel man is not Jobs, but this Tim Kuhn Gram is the cold-blooded capitalist in a real textbook.

According to the minutes of Apple's internal meetings, non-disclosure of the supply chain is its long-term policy.

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, because Apple's bright sales data is behind tens of thousands of workers of electronic equipment manufacturers, in order to ensure product lines The results of completing the work on time and shifting day and night.

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

However, Apple's supply chain almost always belongs to Cook. Cook's work style has always been to put pressure on the team, and the team puts pressure on the supplier, and the supplier puts pressure on the workers.

Jobs, Cook is not unaware of the situation of those workers at the lowest end of the supply chain, but they don't care at all and don't care about the 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 it should be as strict as possible without involving ethics.

Even once, when he got the production schedule, Cook said, why not work on Sunday?

"Ha ha……"

Andy, who was sitting in the office of the general manager of the mocking bird company, closed his papers, shook his head, smiled slightly, took the coffee cup by his desk, and drank slowly.

Andy didn't mean to laugh at or despise Apple or Cook, but was happy to understand Apple's supply chain management system. After all, he was also going to knife and eat a piece of cake on the mobile phone.

Since you do n’t understand some things, you need to see more and learn more.

"咚咚"

"Boss, Mr. Witley, is already online ..." The little assistant, wearing a pretty fresh and exquisite contrasting flower shirt, with a slim and elegant fishtail skirt, came in on a pair of seven-point black heels, elegant The skirt is more curved and graceful, and the long and slender big white t shows vividly.

"Well, I know." Andy lowered the coffee cup, shaking the mouse, looking up at the little assistant who stood opposite, said with a smile on his face: "When Lullana returns from London Fashion Week, you and She went to Miami or Malibu to pick a beach house she likes. "

"Send it to me?" Little assistant Mei Mei opened his eyes and asked in amazement and uncertainty.

Andy gave her a nasty look, "You say it!"

"Awesome! Giggles ..."

Thump thump

"Oh ~"

"thank you boss."

Tory Black leaned over Andy's cheek and printed a bright print, his face flushed slightly, and he was very happy.

"Fortune lover! Alright, let's go out."

"Snapped!

The little assistant flirted out of the office with a twisted slender waist, slowly, seemingly worried that the big devil didn't look really, and also intentionally increased the swing range.

When the office door was closed, Andy retracted his gaze and shook his head uncontrollably. After clicking the video icon with the mouse, the black screen quickly turned on, and the live video of the crowded New York Gaia meeting room appeared in the video.

"You can start."

Andy rushed across the crowd and nodded his head, and said lightly.

"... Due to the panic selling by investors due to concerns about the financial system, the New York stock market suffered a severe setback yesterday, March 2. The Dow Jones Index fell below the 6,800 mark for the first time since April 1997, and the S & P 500 index approached 700. Click the pass.

In the past week, the return on short stock index futures has reached 230 million ...

The sharp turbulence in the US financial and commodity markets has also added bearish factors to the decline in gold. Gold futures prices fell for the sixth consecutive day ...

London time. This morning, before the opening of the London stock market, HSBC announced that it had raised $ 17.7 billion in new shares to raise capital adequacy.

At the same time, the bank announced its 2008 performance report. Last year, the bank's pre-tax profit was $ 9.3 billion, a 60% drop from the previous year. After the opening, the bank's stock price plummeted by 18%. Affected by this, Standard Chartered Bank, Rice Banking Group, Barclays Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland also suffered losses of between 2% and 15%.

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

As a result of this drag, the other two major European stock indexes have also suffered varying degrees of decline. News from Europe has severely dampened investor confidence in global financial markets and fears that the market will worsen. Affected by this, US stocks continued to decline after the opening ... "

"Hmm ..."

Andy heard the various data reported by his men. Of course, he was most concerned about how much money he made. Since the UK has lifted the short limit on financial stocks, the London branch's record is amazing, 160 million pounds. The revenue of the company led all of Andy's investment team, and even exceeded the 230 million revenue of the US headquarters.

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

However, Andy also knows that the good days of the financial crisis are basically over. It's time to stop and prepare to launch the savior plan!

"Take March 5th as the node two days later, all the short funds belonging to us must be returned! Yes, all positions are cleared! Nothing is left, ready funds, waiting for my order, I am ready to start buying the entire United States!"

In the meeting room of the Gaia Corporation in New York, except for Alvitre and Bardstone who knew the plan, everyone was stunned. They looked at the big screen with bright eyes and serious expressions, and they were by no means joking bosses.
