Hearing that Eric fulfilled his request and asked all existing members of Apple's board of directors to resign, Steve Jobs' expression did not relax, and he was still a little aggressive: "So, Eric, what about the technical authorization of the ARM architecture?"
Eric knows what kind of person Steve Jobs is. This kind of guy has a strong desire for control. If you respond to his emotions, you will be influenced by him unconsciously.
Relaxing on the office chair, Eric shook his head and said, "Steve, I can't agree to this request. However, as a shareholder of Apple, Firefly Electronics will naturally not refuse if Apple needs to use ARM chips in the future."
ARM chip technology is related to Eric's layout for the entire future smartphone era.
Eric plans to let Qualcomm, Yahoo, Firefly Electronics, and Nokia form the current strategic pattern of Intel, Microsoft, IBM and other manufacturers, and completely monopolize the entire smartphone industry chain.
To complete this layout, it is necessary to prevent ARM technology from spreading everywhere like the original space-time. .
If the ARM mobile chips laid out by the Firefly system can achieve Intel's dominant position in the PC chip market, even if Apple wants to make smartphones in the future, it must purchase chips from manufacturers within the Firefly system.
Historically, the reason why Apple mobile phones accounted for more than 90% of the profits in the smartphone market was that apart from its high-end focus, the fierce internal competition under the Android platform was also the main reason why manufacturers using this system were unprofitable.
As long as the Firefly system can master the core chip technology and operating system and achieve a monopoly position in the smartphone market in advance, it can avoid the recurrence of the fierce competition in the original time and space, or limit the competition to the most downstream manufacturers. In this way, the Firefly system can safely enjoy the richest and most stable pieces of fat in the smartphone industry.
Steve Jobs was still a bit reluctant: "Eric, if you refuse to open ARM authorization to Apple, Apple will file a lawsuit based on the evidence in our hands."
In the conference room, everyone looked at Jobs strangely when they heard what Steve Jobs said. Even Larry Ellison, who was sitting next to Eric, couldn't help but wink at his friend.
Eric simply drove away all the original members of Apple's board of directors and helped them solve the biggest obstacle to controlling Apple. Isn't it uncomfortable to still focus on such trivial matters now? At this moment, Larry Ellison couldn't help but feel that Jobs was too rude to do so.
"Whether you want to sue or not is your business," Eric said indifferently: "However, Steve, if I were you, I wouldn't waste time on this kind of thing. What you should consider now is How to bring Apple back to life. In addition," Eric looked around at several members of Apple's original board of directors, and said: "Although they have left, the new board of directors, Firefly Investment still has to get its own seats and corresponding votes Quan, there is no room for negotiation on this point, and you should not threaten me with words such as this is the condition for you to control Apple, Steve, to be honest, I don't care whether you want to control Apple again , on the contrary, everyone is very clear that in this conference room, you should be the one who cares about Apple the most. So, now, do you have any other questions?"
Steve Jobs' face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, when everyone thought he would go berserk, Jobs still stared at Eric motionlessly, and said again: "Apple doesn't have enough liquidity on its books anymore. , I need $300 million."
"Larry raised a total of 2.5 billion US dollars. After buying Apple, there is still 50 million US dollars left. I will tell everyone that this money will not be returned to investors. Firefly Investment will make up 50 million US dollars. You 100 million, let's talk about it after spending it."
"Yahoo's software is delayed and incomplete on operating systems other than Windows. I want Apple's operating system to be treated the same as Microsoft's."
"I can't guarantee that Yahoo's software will be synchronized with Microsoft's on the Apple computer operating system. However, if it is not perfect, I will ask them to improve it. Is there any more?"
Steve Jobs thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"That's it. I have to go to Oakland to have a look. Let's go first." Eric said, nodded to the others, got up and walked outside the meeting room. Larry Ellison made a gesture to Jobs. With a wink, seeing that he hadn't moved, he got up helplessly to send Eric away.
In the meeting room, other people also stood up and prepared to leave. Jobs still sat on the chair like a wood carving, watching Eric's figure disappear, but his eyes were a little complicated.
With the rise of Silicon Valley, a large number of billionaires relying on high-tech industries have emerged, and Atherton in the northwest of Palo Alto has gradually become one of the most famous wealthy areas in San Francisco.
Towards evening, in a mansion in the lush and pleasant Atherton community, Caroline politely sent several cleaning company employees away, and returned to the living room, where Melanie was standing in front of a fax machine, receiving an The information passed over, but his eyes were fixed on a long solid wood table next to him.
"Mei, what are you looking at?" Caroline came over and helped Melanie pack up the materials, and at the same time looked curiously at the table following Melanie's line of sight.
"Look," Melanie pointed to the long table, and said, "Most of the decoration in this house is in warm colors. Although this table is in light yellow log color, it is in cool colors."
Caroline was even more puzzled: "What's the matter, I don't think there is anything wrong?"
"Didn't our BOSS buy this house because the obsession with cleanliness became more and more serious and he didn't want to stay in a hotel? The obsessive-compulsive disorder is actually a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder," Melanie said, "Think about it, he saw this A table, will it be uncomfortable?"
Caroline smiled and said, "Eric is not such a harsh person."
"It doesn't matter whether the BOSS is harsh or not. It's a disease. Didn't some people say that the BOSS is very similar to Howard Hughes back then? Howard Hughes' obsessive-compulsive disorder caused the cleanliness to become more and more serious, and finally he couldn't even eat. , and slowly died."
Caroline immediately showed a worried look on her face, turned around the table, and said, "It should, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Melanie walked over with a smile, pointed to a place next to the fruit plate on the table, and said: "This table may not have anything, but look, there is still a scratch here, although it is only a short one, it is very Obviously. Hehe, when the BOSS comes back, I will point it out to him and see if he will fidget."
Caroline picked up the fruit plate and placed it on the scratch, then raised her face and said to Melanie: "Mei, you are not allowed to tease Eric like this."
Melanie looked at the fruit plate that had left the center of the table, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she nodded and said, "Okay, I won't say anything. But, I'm venting my anger on you. That guy obviously doesn't want to be responsible to you. It's disgusting to keep you by my side."
Caroline sorted out the information in her hand, shook her head and said, "I, I don't want Eric to be responsible for me, I'm not a child."
"Hey, poor little Carly," Melanie came over and hugged Caroline forcefully, and then the two of them sorted out the documents that just came from Los Angeles, which were all personal resumes. After Melanie and Caroline left Eric's assistant's office to serve as his personal assistants, the two girls' positions were left vacant and needed to be filled.
The two women sorted and bound more than a dozen resumes at the table together, but Melanie suddenly pulled out another one, stared at the photo on the resume, and said, "This is so beautiful, Carly, for your own sake, I suggest that you secretly throw away this resume."
Caroline reluctantly snatched the resume from Melanie, dissatisfied: "May, we can't do this, it's very unprofessional." Caroline also looked down at the resume. The girl named Marisa Mayer, even though it was just a ID photo, still looks very beautiful: "Well, she is just an undergraduate student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford, so she shouldn't meet Eric's requirements."
Melanie knew that this girl would not allow her to mess around, but she still picked up the resume and stuffed it at the bottom of the pile of materials, before saying: "Ms. Haines interviewed in person, if she doesn't meet the requirements, you Do you think it can appear here?"
