Chapter 248: The first confrontation
Americans are all sarcastic and it is difficult to explain the reasoning. Liu Meng once again realized that the King of Hell is easy to mess with the little ghosts, so he could only wait at the door without any help. He only heard Jobs' passionate speech inside. The biggest issue of this year's WWDC is the change of Apple PC processors, giving up the powerpc processor and switching to Intel processors.
After getting to know Jobs so closely, although the sun and moon change and the stars change, Liu Meng was still very excited and looking forward to it. After all, he was an idol in his heart, a leader with a very charming personality, and he changed the world with his advanced thinking. It was amazing.
Jobs is now seriously ill, but he is still trying to change the world. It has to be said that the value gap between people is very huge, and he is such a respectable and terrible opponent.
Liu Meng waited until 12 noon, and the wwdc was not over yet, and it was not over until around 1:30 pm. There were already many media waiting outside the door to interview Jobs. Liu Meng saw Jobs for the first time, with a mixed beard and a thin person, but his eyes were filled with a shiny light and had a strong aura.
As soon as Jobs came out, the waiting media flocked to him and kept asking questions, "Mr. Jobs, I heard that Apple and Microsoft have reached a settlement on patent disputes. Are you afraid of Mr. Gates? Or is it because Apple is now in a huge financial crisis?"
Another reporter also rushed to ask: "I heard that Apple and At&T have reached a confidential cooperation project. Can you tell me a little about what products are developing? Are the new generation of music players or personal computers or servers?"
Jobs spoke out and replied: "Since you also know it is a confidential cooperation project, why do you still ask such a stupid question?" The question kicked back like a ball.
Jobs pointed to another reporter and scolded: "This lady. Apple is not reconciling with Microsoft, but Microsoft is reconciling with Apple. Do you understand? Do you need to repeat it?"
The playful beautiful reporter made an exaggerated and unknown posture and shouted: "Oh, Mr. Jobs, I don't understand what you said and what I asked. It means that Apple and Microsoft have reached a settlement on patent disputes."
Jobs smiled and said, "Apple has always been at the forefront of the world in terms of technological innovation, and has always been the trend in our industry. Other companies are just following the trend. Isn't this obvious enough? Do we need to reconcile? No, we don't need it. We just accept a kind apology from an old friend."
Another reporter took advantage of the situation and asked again: "Mr. Gates said that in the industry, only respect you. What do you think of Mr. Gates? Does heroes cherish the awe of heroes?"
"No, no, no." Jobs shook his finger, "I am just a kindness to him, in the competition for business. There is no one on this earth that scares me."
"Do you mean you don't take Mr. Gates seriously at all? Will this cause another round of lawsuits between Microsoft and Apple?"
Jobs shrugged. That means: "idonotcare! Anyway."
Several old black bodyguards stopped the reporters' continued questioning and shouted loudly: "Sorry, we did not arrange the interview time after the meeting. Now Mr. Jobs is going to have lunch."
Liu Meng kept watching, observing Jobs up close, and comparing with the evaluations on the Internet and materials. At this moment, he rushed up and said, "Mr. Jobs, it took you ten minutes. We can talk about mobile phones in detail."
Liu Meng was not a question, but just expressed this meaning lightly. Then he looked at Jobs.
Jobs' eyes flashed, staring at the inconspicuous yellow man, and was immediately distracted by other things. Seeing that it was difficult to attract his attention in this way, Liu Meng handed over the paper he had prepared before and shouted: "Mr. Jobs, this is my contact information. I think you will definitely use it one day."
Only then did Jobs's gaze attract him, and he looked at the young man and the paper he handed over. At this time, the reporters stopped and said sarcastically: "Oh, where are you from? Mr. Jobs will not be interested in you."
Another smiled exaggeratedly: "Sir, I think you must have forgotten to take medicine in the morning."
Hahahaha... Everyone laughed in a mess, but Liu Meng didn't laugh or cared, and he still had that firm and confident expression. Jobs couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the young man. Without the exaggeration and exaggeration of American young people, there was a strong sense of confidence and indifference in his eyes.
As the most successful ceo in history, Steve Jobs is also a devil. He is arrogant, withdrawn, irritable, and will do his own thing. But no matter how many people analyze his personality, perhaps everything originates from a point of origin, he is an adopted child and abandoned by his biological parents, and has to face the ultimate question: Who am I? This question has always followed him, changed him, and shaped him.
When he was young, Jobs was very rebellious. He once wore long shawls and beards, and was wild and unruly.
Even the first girl in her life was Chris, whom she met in middle school.
The main reason why Jobs appreciated the first girl in his life was her rebelliousness and strength. She was the first and only girl in the school who dared to trudge school, which fascinated Jobs.
They took a walk, drank, and sucked marijuana together.
Jobs later even said that one day, they even came to a wheat field to attract phantoms. Suddenly, he felt that the whole wheat field was playing Bach's minuet, and he seemed to be conducting a symphony orchestra.
But Jobs did not lose his direction in rebellion forever. In 1974, 19-year-old Jobs traveled in southern India with barefoot clothes.
The trip to India made Jobs start to think about many questions, about "who am I", about his "self", and about how to follow his heart.
After returning, he almost became another person, wearing a yellow robe, shaved hair all day long, taciturn, and indifferent to people. When he was developing a macintosh computer in the early days, he always took everyone to a retreat whenever he encountered problems. A group of people hid in a room and cut off contact with the outside world. In the silence of all things, he pondered silently and listened to the mysterious voices of distantness.
It is precisely because of his childhood and a different personality that the later genius Jobs was created. Jobs saw something familiar to him when he was young in Liu Meng's eyes, and he was absolutely confident and firm, but he was not so easy to fool.
Jobs teased: "Young man, are you sure this broken A4 paper is what I need?"
For many people, being a Jobs employee is a very painful thing. "The Boss from Hell" is the nickname given to Jobs by Apple employees. He has extremely high requirements for team members and cannot tolerate unwise employees. It is said that Apple employees are very afraid that they will ask you sharp questions when they take the same elevator as Jobs, and if your answer is not up to his heart, they may be fired before getting off the elevator.
Perhaps such rumors are somewhat demonized, but Jobs does like an intellectual fight, sometimes he just quarrels with others, but this is often the most effective way to go directly to the core of the problem.
But for most people, this is no less than a test of a fire, and Jobs' attitude is often not friendly, and it can even be said that it is quite rude.
He always forces others to follow his opinions. If others are firm enough, they will defend their ideas with strong arguments. Perhaps it is through this method that Jobs is testing whether people truly understand their ideas. This is a time to test real talents.
If you are a timid person, you are destined to die at the hands of Jobs because he is very confident in what he knows, so he needs others to challenge him.
"I'm sure, Mr. Jobs, this piece of paper is worth 100 billion US dollars. You must hold it up and you will definitely use it in the future." Liu Meng looked at Jobs fearlessly. Although the invisible aura was very powerfully oppressing, he did not retreat at all.
It's like a drop of water standing in front of the Indian Ocean.
In the United States, there are not a few teenagers like Liu Meng who are absolutely confident and passionate. At least Jobs himself had such characteristics in the early stages of his business. The reporters all felt that this teenager must be crazy. The beautiful reporter exaggeratedly said, "Oh my God, handsome guy, what is the code of God written in this piece of paper in your hand? It is worth 100 billion US dollars." He said to the assistant next to him: "Oh my God, I heard it right, Susan, is it 100 billion, right? Or 1000 yuan?"
"Young man, I'd like to ask, I seem to see the few numbers written on your paper. Does it say 100 billion? If you think it's worth 100 billion, I think you'll forget to print the great President of Washington on it." Americans said with humor and witty sarcastic words.
"Maybe we should give this young man some time and let him draw a portrait of Mr. Washington by himself, so maybe this piece of paper is worth 100 billion. Oh my god, why didn't I expect such a genius approach? Jim, please give me a piece of A4 paper and a brush? I will be the richest man in the world later." A bearded reporter couldn't help laughing after he said that.
A young cameraman known as Jim pretended to look for A4 paper and brushes. His funny expression was very similar to Chaplin in the silent film era, and it attracted everyone's hilariousness. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
