Chapter 160: Continue to force the palace
Hastings and Mark left with smiles in the end. Both parties were very much in love, making the negotiation go very smoothly. Kaos invested US$30 million, accounting for 70% of Orgflix's shares. Of course, as a condition, the company's CEO remained
Return to Hastings.
The management of flix does not want to get it. Just like Kaos thought before, it is not necessary to obtain the management rights of a platform that relies entirely on the quality of its works. It consumes energy and does not bring much benefit. Instead, it is better to hand in
Give each other such professionals.
This decision was also made because the amount of investment funds was not large, and orgflix's operations were too independent and could not complement its own business territory at all.
On the contrary, Apple has a different status. As a technology research and development company, although the current market situation is not very good, there is no problem with its own research and development capabilities.
Google has eaten up Apple, with one hand controlling software research and development, and the other hand controlling hardware updates. Coupled with Kaos's foresight about the future, the smartphone market will be completely dominated by Kaos. It is wonderful to think about it.
The stumbling block to all of this was Steve Jobs, a stubborn person.
Kaos's eyes narrowed as he thought about these things, and he lay down on the sun lounger again and rested quietly. At the same time, he also watched Lin Yifei admiringly playing at the beach.
Running barefoot on the beach, Yaksi jumped behind him, and because of the influx of sea water, he jumped and dodged the waves from time to time, but he lost his hair under the big waves.
One person and one cat are full of joyful emotions, which also makes Kaos feel that life is very beautiful and the world is worth cherishing.
..................................................
While enjoying life in Kaos, the atmosphere inside Apple Company in San Francisco and Silicon Valley was gloomy. Perhaps it should be said that in the past month since I left Kaos, the atmosphere inside Apple Company has been like this.
"Why, in today's board meeting, if you two are still interested in the acquisition of Google, then don't say anything. I will never agree."
Sitting on the main seat in the conference room, Jobs looked at Millard and Bill without giving him a good look, and said directly impatiently.
During this period, the board of directors' discussions never stopped, which also caused constant conflicts between several people. Milad and Bill, in particular, continued to follow Kaos's instructions and put pressure on Jobs, making him panic.
"Hahaha, of course it's not about the acquisition. We held the board meeting this time to question whether Steve Jobs is still capable of serving as the company's CEO."
Millard watched Jobs squinting his eyes, with a smile on his face, and placed a document on the conference table. At the same time, he glanced around at the people in the conference room and said proudly.
Just like in ancient times, serious illness of an emperor would inevitably cause turmoil. Although Jobs did not have as much power as the emperor, he was still the backbone of the company.
Now such a report that the other party is seriously ill will directly affect the other party's authority and make all the directors present doubt whether Jobs can continue to perform his duties as CEO.
As the medical records changed hands one after another, after everyone present watched it, things went as expected by Milad, Bill, and Kaos. Everyone in the board of directors fell into silence, with different expressions on their faces.
Different, there are surprises and uncertainties, and there are also embarrassments.
"Jobs, is this case true?"
After reading the information, there were directors on the board of directors who couldn't help but ask.
"You actually..."
The angry Jobs slammed the conference table, stood up from his seat, and pointed at Millard and Bill with trembling fingers.
Regarding the news of his serious illness, under such a severe situation in the company, Jobs was trying his best to block the news for the time being. There were some gossips, but when he was commuting normally, no one had ever doubted it. But now he was
The other party investigated and found out, which made Jobs very embarrassed.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Jobs glanced at Jerry York beside him, blinked slightly with his left eye, then stretched out his hand to hold his forehead, his body was swaying and he was about to fall down.
"Jobs, what's wrong with you?"
Jerry York looked at Jobs, stood up immediately and asked hurriedly, and then looked at other people at the same time and said: "Okay, this meeting ends here. I will take Jobs to the hospital first, so that he can
The hospital will determine whether he can continue to preside over the work after that."
After Jerry York said these words, he helped Jobs and hurriedly walked out of the conference room, and Art Levinson, who was close to Jobs, followed immediately.
"Okay, let's go too."
Millard could see clearly that Jobs's acting skills were not very good, but today's goal had been achieved, and he did not continue to chase him. After smiling at each other and Bill, he got up and walked outside.
After leaving the conference room, he immediately picked up his cell phone and reported to Kaos to claim credit.
........................................
"As you can see, this Kaos is too much."
After coming out of the company and getting into the car, Jobs put away his painful expression and became more relaxed, but his tone was still a little angry.
In order to avoid being attacked at the meeting, he had to pretend to be sick and come out, which made Jobs feel extremely embarrassed.
"Hey, we don't have a good solution now. Let's do this. I'm trying to see if I can convince the foundation in the past two days and find a way for them to show the situation to appease the board of directors."
Holding a bottle of mineral water, Jerry York took a sip, shook his head and said helplessly.
He almost joined Apple with Steve Jobs in 1997, but he never expected such a result.
However, he also understood that Jobs invited him to Apple's board of directors because he was a professional in securities and funds and could help Apple develop broader financing channels.
He helped Steve Jobs a lot before, and now he should be of more use.
Art Levinson didn't say much at all. He was better at retailing, but more often than not, he gave Steve Jobs sales advice after the product came out. Just like the various hunger marketing campaigns for Apple mobile phones in later generations, they were all indispensable behind them.
His plan.
"Thanks a lot, Jerry."
After hearing Jerry York's suggestion, Jobs breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and was grateful.
Some time ago, he wanted Jerry York to help, but the other party refused. The two were very good friends, but they also had their own interests and plans. Obviously, there was nothing they could do. Jerry York
The old fox also has limited support for him.
"Don't have too much hope. Recently, the foundations and investment institutions behind Google have been constantly obstructing and persuading. Two institutions have even agreed to sell their Apple shares to each other."
