Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology - Chapter 742
Remember [] for a second, update fast, no pop-ups!
Jobs’ choice to resign was not an impulsive move, but knowing that he no longer has any place at Apple.
The CEO position must belong to Cook.
Even if Jobs used his qualifications to force the board to admit that he was the CEO of the company, he was an empty shelf.
Apple’s top executives have undergone a major reshuffle in the months since Jobs left.
Even if Jobs continues to serve as the company’s CEO, he will be hampered everywhere.
Such a CEO is not interesting to do.
After Jobs’ resignation letter, he used another 2,000 words to clarify some of his ideas about Apple’s future development.
One of the most critical is to ensure the cooperative relationship with Changtian Technology.
The reason is that Changtian Technology’s hardware performance is far ahead of all companies in the world, which contributes to Apple’s brand value.
And Xia Guo has the world’s largest user market.
Even if Apple doesn’t want to offend Wall Street’s capital, it has to find a way to coexist peacefully with Changtian Technology.
Instead of directly rejecting Changtian Technology, and letting things develop to the point where there is no room for turning around.
But very unfortunate.
Jobs’ resignation letter was approved by the top management of the board, but his analysis of Apple’s development was thrown into the trash as laughable rubbish.
After Jobs resigned.
Cook held a grand inauguration ceremony on the second day.
Jobs has since become a shareholder with less than 1 percent of Apple and has held no other positions.
Apple, on the other hand, has entered the Cook era with great strides.
The drastic change in Apple’s top management has attracted the attention of the global media.
The “Wall Street Journal” gave a detailed report on the changes in Apple’s top management with the title of Jobs being abandoned by Apple.
In the report, the “Wall Street Journal” described in detail the friendship between Jobs and Changtian Technology and the previous cooperation between the two parties that reached tens of millions of meters.
And said that with the end of the Jobs era, Apple also ushered in the Cook era.
The relationship between Cook and Xia Guo is not so close.
Cook to clean up the traces of Steve Jobs in the next iPhone.
Coupled with the pressure of the U.S. hearing, Apple is trying to keep the U.S. market.
The next generation of iPhones is likely to drop Changtian’s hardware.
It has to be said that the Wall Street Journal is indeed the mouthpiece of Wall Street capital in the United States.
The media’s sensitivity to developments is quite remarkable.
Although Apple has not announced the next-generation iPhone, that is, the relevant configuration of the iPhone 5 and the situation of suppliers.
But the “Wall Street Journal” accurately judged that Changtian Technology will be kicked out of the supply chain by Apple mobile phones.
Except for the Wall Street Journal.
, “The New York Times”, “Washington Post” and many media in Europe and Asia, Asia, South Korea, have tracked and reported the news of Jobs’ departure from Apple.
There is a lot of speculation about a post-Jobs, or even Cook, Apple.
But all the media are almost unanimously confirmed.
In the Cook era, Apple will end the nearly one-year honeymoon period with Changtian Technology.
We don’t know what impact this will have on Apple’s future product development.
But it is definitely good for Samsung, LG, Sony and other technology companies.
The day Cook took office as the official CEO of Apple.
In the stock markets of Asia and the United States, the stock prices of semiconductor companies such as Samsung lg, Micron, Hynix, Intel, and Qualcomm have all gone crazy.
Stock prices do reflect a company’s future expectations.
The iPhone 5 is still under design.
But now it’s only about half a year before the iPhone 5 was released.
Cook also sent a number of negotiating teams to Samsung, LG, Sony and other companies to negotiate.
Hope to be able to win the supply of iphone5 related accessories at a more suitable price.
With such a move by Apple, industry insiders have determined that the next-generation iPhone 5 will no longer use Changtian Technology’s hardware products.
Even the most untechnical lithium battery iPhone 5 is also going to be purchased from Sony, which confirms that Changtian Technology has been kicked out of the supply chain.
Not to mention the most notable storage and memory.
And this matter finally feedback in the consumer market.
Some consumers are very worried that the next-generation iPhone, that is, iPhone 5, will not use the hardware performance of Changtian Technology will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, in the consumer market, the iphone4s, which has been sold for more than half a year, has experienced a dramatic increase in sales.
Except for some of them bought by real consumers, most of them were bought by scalpers in the mobile phone industry.
The scalper is still ready to gamble.
The bet is that after the iphone4s is discontinued, the performance of the follow-up iphone5 is not as strong as that of the iphone4s, which will make the actual sales price of the iphone4s much higher than the current retail price.
Apple’s high-level turmoil has evolved into a skyrocketing price of iphone4s. After Cook knew the news, he was dumbfounded.
This reaction in the retail market is simply a slap in the face of Cook.
This made Cook very embarrassed.
Even when Cook attended certain work events, some reporters deliberately asked Cook this question.
“Excuse me, Mr. Cook, what do you think of the fact that consumers think that the performance of the iPhone 5 without Changtian Technology’s hardware will not be as good as that of the iPhone 4s, which will lead to the huge profits and price increases of the iPhone 4s at the retail end?”
Cook originally attended some public events with a smile on his face, but his expression changed when he heard the reporter ask this question.
He would not answer such a question at all, but chose to leave in a hurry.
After being slapped in the face by the market continuously.
An idea for a more determined Cook.
That is to make iphone5 successful.
We must ensure that the sales volume of iphone5 is much higher than that of iphone4s.
And Jobs, who was idle at home, was extremely disappointed in his heart.
Jobs is very rich now.
In addition to having huge cash and fixed assets, he also owns nearly 1% of Apple’s shares.
According to Apple’s current market value, Jobs’s stock is worth about 6.2 billion meters.
For many people, let alone a lifetime, even 100 lifetimes of money cannot be earned.
But for Steve Jobs, the more money, the more the money loses its original role.
Jobs is reborn.
Because he was supposed to have cancer and died last year.
But because of advanced medical technology, he lived to this year.
When a person comes back to life, he always thinks about life and the whole universe.
He didn’t think that since he recovered again. Death did not take him away.
Then he should do something worthy of his own life.
Thinking of this, Jobs suddenly had a particularly primitive impulse in his heart.
Since he can create an Apple company.
Then he would be able to create another Apple.
But not so far.
Because Jobs’ physical condition is not enough to support his long-term high-intensity labor.
But Jobs made a move that shocked the world.
He sold 1% of the Apple stock worth 6.2 billion meters in his hand, and cashed out all of it.
This time the entire capital market went crazy.
The first is that Apple’s major shareholders, including Cook, who only owns a limited 0.02% stake, feel that this is completely incredible.
Because many people think that Apple is currently on an upward trend.
The current stock price and market value are only temporary, and the future stock price will definitely be higher than it is now.
Every idiot knows to cover up the Apple stock in his hand and sell it after a few years.
And Jobs didn’t seem to want to wait for a moment.
In a hurry to cash out all the stocks in hand.
Is this not optimistic about Apple’s future?
1% of the stock was quickly swept away by Apple’s top executives as well as multiple Wall Street capitalists.
Many media’s evaluation of Jobs is that Jobs has gone crazy.
Because according to the terrifying sales of iphone4s, everyone believes that Apple’s market value will grow rapidly.
Sell your stock at this time.
Isn’t that the equivalent of selling the stock at the foot of the mountain?
But Jobs didn’t care.
Jobs has a huge amount of cash in his hands.
Also because of the body.
After Jobs sold Apple shares, there was no movement.
Instead, he lives in his own villa area, receiving the care of a family doctor, waiting for his body to recover slowly.
The strong shocks in the technology and capital markets of the United States have also brought news from all walks of life.
Wang Xiang immediately reported to Chen Xiao the changes in Apple’s top management.
Wang Xiang’s face was very ugly.
Because he knew Chen Xiao’s intentions.
Under the very harsh external capital environment, Changtian Technology tried its best to rescue Jobs, in fact, it also wanted to establish a certain relationship with Jobs.
Jobs was the CEO of Apple.
To put it more directly, Steve Jobs is the godfather of the iphone and has a strong say in the future development and direction of the iphone.
Wang Xiang considered that Jobs would continue to serve as Apple’s CEO after he returned to the United States.
Then under the harsh capital and cooperation environment of the United States.
Apple can at least negotiate with Changtian Technology to do things.
The two sides continued to discuss cooperation matters.
The worst case is that Changtian Technology’s hardware does not enter the US market.
But elsewhere in the world.
iPhones will continue to use Changtian Technology’s hardware.
I don’t know how ruthless Apple is.
Just kick Steve Jobs out of the game.
This seems to have made the previous efforts of Changtian Technology in vain.
Wang Xiang has been the CEO and executive chairman of Changtian Technology for so many years.
The heart can still be calm.
But there was still some urgency in his tone.
Chen Xiao was not surprised at all.
After all, no matter what era, anyone who sits in Cook’s position has a desire for power, money, fame and status.
And Chen Xiao was sure.
The root cause of Steve Jobs’ exit at Apple, in addition to Cook and his team.
The most important thing is the pressure from Wall Street.
After all, the United States is currently Apple’s largest sales market.
Although Xia Guo is the market with the largest population and the greatest potential, such potential has not been realized after all.
under the capitalist system of the West.
Profits that can be seen and felt are profits.
Those expectations for the future, for them, are the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, which cannot be touched or obtained.
For Apple’s board of directors and Cook, when the Xiaguo market surpasses the US market and becomes the largest sales place for iPhones, I don’t know it’s the Year of the Monkey.
For such a long time, Cook’s can’t wait, nor can Apple’s executives.
So they chose to give up Steve Jobs, and also chose to cut off the cooperative relationship with Changtian Technology, that is, they chose to keep the US market.
Chen Xiao actually understood very well.
From the moment he was reborn, the moment he came to this parallel world.
The course of history in this world has changed.
The world before his rebirth.
Apple’s mobile phone kills the Quartet, and it is basically a good invincible hand.
Warwick, once in the Xia Kingdom, almost brought down the Apple Show, but it finally failed due to a variety of reasons.
As for Xiaomi and Xia Guo’s blue factory and green factory, because of their lack of R&D and innovation capabilities, they are also an assembly company from beginning to end, and their essence is exactly the same as that of Lianxiang.
This model is the favorite of U.S. capital.
Xiaguo’s assembly companies buy high-tech hardware products from the United States at high prices, and use Xiaguo’s cheap labor, land costs, and environmental costs to produce relatively cheap mobile phones, which are provided to consumers around the world, especially those in the West.
The western world enjoys the cheap cost of living that developing countries sacrifice at their own expense.
This is a common method used by Western capital to harvest leeks in developing countries.
The US technology industry and capital will never allow companies such as Xiaomi to have the ability to challenge the authoritative research and development capabilities of the US technology industry.
As long as you have such an idea, they will come up with 100 ways to clean up and let you honestly be your foundry.
But now Chen Xiao is reborn~www.mtlnovel.com~ reborn in this parallel world.
It is absolutely impossible for him to let this matter appear on Changtian Technology.
Wang Xiang hurriedly said to Chen Xiao:
“Apple has started to buy Samsung’s memory, storage and Sony’s cameras, storage batteries, etc. in large quantities.”
“This is preparing for the iPhone 5.”
“Apple’s behavior has a demonstration effect on the entire mobile phone industry. Companies such as htc may also follow in Apple’s footsteps and give up cooperation with us in order to win the license of the US market.”
Wang Xiang said: “The most troublesome thing now is the French company Pascal. Pascal has not received any orders from Apple so far, and the orders of htc have also dropped significantly. The French have already had great opinions on us, and even Directly shut down the nearest factory and don’t want to invest any more.”
Chen Xiao smiled and said, “We didn’t play the Steve Jobs card.”
Wang Xiang did not understand what Chen Xiao meant.
“Then what should we do next?”
Chen Xiao smiled and said, “Wait.”
“Ah!” At this moment, Wang Xiang was a little puzzled.
It’s already this time, and it’s already at such a critical juncture. Chen Xiao actually asked everyone to wait and didn’t take any measures.
“Then how long will it wait?”
Chen Xiao said calmly: “If Pascal can’t get the funds from France, we will invest in the construction of the factory through an intermediary agency, so that they don’t have to worry about funds.”
“When are you asking me? When the iPhone 5 is mass-produced!”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao smiled.
Of the three cards in his hand, none of them were played.
