American Fortune Life

Andy looked at Jobs' frowning and thin cheeks on the opposite side, and his mood was not as calm and indifferent as his face showed, but it was very bad, after all, he had to face Apple.

For Jobs, who believes that "only paranoia can survive", while pursuing innovation, "pursuit of perfection" is also an indispensable element. Apple Store appstore may not have this idea before, but now it is the most important part of Jobs' pursuit of perfection.

He is a stubborn, biased, considered authoritarian and irritable person. The things he sees will not change. The board of directors can't hold him back. He knows better than anyone else, leaving him little time.

"Our time is limited, so I won't waste time living the life I don't want. And I won't be fooled by dogma. It will seduce me to follow other people's mindset. The most important thing is to have the courage to follow. Your own mind and intuition. They will know what kind of person you really want to be. Everything else is secondary. "

When Andy heard Jobs's low voice, he sighed secretly, but the expression on his face was still unshakable, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a smile, he looked at him with a half-eyes, "When I decided When I think of this idea, when I create a new business model that integrates the Internet and mobile phones, I know that when I open a door, someone will naturally follow, but there is competition to be motivated, doesn't it? "

"$ 200 million, Apple is willing to pack and buy ..."

Andy chuckled, and didn't care whether Jobs would feel embarrassed. "Just as I believe that the Amad mobile phone will sweep the world, the future of the app store is very bright. I, the pioneer and pioneer, are not afraid. The followers behind me have a big market, so big that I can't eat it alone. I never thought of stopping or preventing others from entering this market. "

Andy didn't answer Jobs's proposal positively at all. Even Jobs himself knew that the price seemed high for a company that was not established long ago, but the two of them were so-called geniuses. .

"We may breach the contract and close the access port of the mobile app."

"Apple controls hardware, software, platforms, user ports. No one will be your opponent, but after all, the United States has sound laws. Unfair competition and monopoly are rules that cannot be bypassed. Win-win cooperation is more appropriate. What do you think? "

The expression on Jobs' face was a bit cold, and the eyes of the two were uncompromising. He was speechless to the young man who was indistinguishable from himself in the face. Nima was already a threat to Hongguo. Hearing what he meant, if he breached the contract, he would stab his knife and sue Apple for monopoly.

"Apple will not engage in monopoly. Apple is open and innovative. We will send people to start and laugh at the contract modification negotiations of Bird Games and the Free City app store, and amend the uniqueness of some terms, such as games like Fruit Swordsman. The only choice in the mall where the download page jumps ... "

Although Jobs was expressionless and his voice was a little cold, but the feeling of enough time in his heart could not be erased, fxxk, these are some **** terms.

Andy looked at Jobs, who threw down a pass, and found a reason to get up and leave. He couldn't help but poked his lips, squinted his eyes, and sneered, "It's really impolite!"

Fortunately, it seems that Jobs does not want to directly lift the table. After all, the amount of compensation for breach of contract is definitely painful. It is understandable to loosen the bond. There are many contracts signed between Andy and Apple at first. Terms that don't care, now become rogue clauses that Apple Inc. hates.

For example, the jump selection of downloading a game; to download a game, the software must first download the bundle of apps such as the Free City App Store. This is also a common rogue bundling mode in the market. Few mobile phones can escape this kind of automatic application store. download.

Andy's biggest advantage is that he can see the future. As the smartphone market continues to mature, consumers spend more and more time on mobile phones. The global smartphone manufacturer's service revenue has increased significantly. Among them, global application revenue has achieved double-digit growth, and third-party platform downloads will skyrocket. This is a large market of 100 billion US dollars. He will not let go, nor can he stop it. The only thing others can do is rely on the advantages of first movers to seize market share and exert brand influence.

In the past, the two camps dominated by the appstore and googleplay dominate the market. Now his free city has been absorbed by Apple, greedily absorbing the nutrients that have allowed him to grow, Google ’s Android system, and his three Internet companies have all joined Google. The open mobile phone alliance was launched as the earliest company to send a team to develop and improve the android system. There is no need to worry about the emergence of new programs, and the period of market blankness can be used to seize the market as soon as possible.

At the reception, Cook held a glass of wine and looked at Andy Smith, who was chatting happily with San Francisco City Councilor Li Mengxian in the distance. His eyes were a little gloomy. He just saw that Joe's face was not very good-looking.

"Without success, he simply dug the trap from the beginning to calculate us. Who would have thought that his strategic layout would be so forward-looking, this young man is very difficult!"

Steve Jobs walked to Cook, squinting his eyes with a half-depressed glance, in fact, they also understood that if there was no Andy Smith App Store, their Apple company had not really considered this business model before, To be honest, on the other hand, I really should thank him.

"Otherwise, he would kick him out!" Cook was also very aggrieved. When he signed the contract, he was also a member of the negotiation team. At the beginning, he was very happy because he could get a little profit from the download profit of the game. It now appears that Nima is the poisonous bait that this young man has sown.

"Oh, do you think he didn't think about this? Do you believe that, as soon as we breach the contract, he will file a lawsuit and claim. After the money is received, he will also use this part of the money to pay lawyer fees to us against unfair competition. Monopoly, even if he can't win, he will be dragged to death with a lawsuit, which was what he meant just now. "

Jobs didn't know if it was sneer or self-deprecating, but the helplessness in the tone was still very obvious. This young man is not only difficult to entangle, but also has a kind of shameless style that you play with, and Lao Tzu is more shameless than you.

"This bastard!" Cook drew a black line from his forehead, squeezing a curse out of his teeth.

"Can't belittle him, look at his age, 23 years old, and make tens of billions of dollars in a short period of time. Even I have to admire his ability. He may not change the world, but his brain wants However, the ideas and ideas can be used to earn wealth. Negotiate. The best solution can be found at the negotiating table. Children from political families value interests and know how to compromise. "

Looking at Joe's thin cheeks and bright eyes, Cook sighed and drank the champagne in his hand. He knew that the negotiation was undoubtedly that their Apple company had chosen to compromise. After all, it was for a user who did not know the future prospects. The software platform paid hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation. At present it does not seem worthwhile, and the most important thing is that it will attract a billionaire who is willing to lay down and play rogue.

Anti-monopoly stick, Apple is afraid of it, who knows? But in case he was so entangled, it really made a moth! That's dumbfounded.

At 8:30 in the evening, Andy looked at the time and converged with a smile. He put his wine glass on a waiter's tray passing by him, holding the slender waist of the little assistant who was a vase all night, and found his master Jobs. After leaving with an apology, he left the reception.

The little assistant was returned to the hotel. In the underground parking lot, Andy said to Tory, "You take them both for another night, and fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon. I'll take a step tonight."

Tory Black blinked his big eyes and seemed to think of something. Although I do n’t know who the big devil is in Los Angeles, there is definitely more than one, and according to the big devil ’s preferences, the other party is definitely a celebrity. Those who had gone through the scandal had a great chance. It seemed that they were about to get rid of her and go to the secret meeting, and sighed helplessly. When the elevator was closed, they saw the red taillight of the car going away.
