American Fortune Life

Chapter 676 Difficult Andy Smith

Andy looked at Jobs' frowning and thin cheeks opposite him, and his mood was not as calm and indifferent as his face showed. On the contrary, he was very bad. After all, he was about to confront Apple.

For Jobs, who firmly believed that "only the paranoid can survive", while insisting on innovation, "the pursuit of perfection" is also an indispensable element. Apple's AppStore may not have had this idea before, but now it is the most important part of Jobs' pursuit of perfection.

He is a stubborn, biased person who is considered authoritarian and irritable. The things he believes in will not change. The board of directors cannot suppress him at all. He knows better than anyone else that there is not much time left for him.

“Our time is limited, so I don’t waste it living a life I don’t want. I don’t get caught up in dogma which tempts me to live according to other people’s mindset. Most importantly, have the courage to follow Your own heart and intuition. They will know who you really want to be. Everything else is secondary."

Andy sighed secretly when he heard Jobs' low voice, but the expression on his face was still calm, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, with a hint of a smile, and he looked at him with half-closed eyes, "When I decide When I thought of this idea and created a new business model that integrates the Internet and mobile phones, I knew that if I opened a door, people would naturally follow behind, but competition will have motivation, right?"

"200 million US dollars, Apple is willing to package and buy..."

Andy chuckled, and didn't care whether Jobs would feel embarrassed, "Just like I believe that icrazy mobile phones will take the world by storm, the future of the app store is very bright, and I, the pioneer and pioneer, am not afraid The chasers behind, this market is so big that I can’t eat it alone, I never thought of stopping it, and I can’t stop others from entering this market.”

Andy didn't answer Jobs' proposal directly at all. Even Jobs knew that the price seemed high for a company that had just been established, but the two people present were so-called geniuses. .

"We may break the contract and close the access port of the mobile APP."

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

The expression on Jobs's face was a bit cold, and the two of them looked at each other without giving in. He was very speechless for the young man in front of him whose imposing manner was no different from his own. Nima, he was already a threat to Hong Guoguo , Listen to what he means, if he breaches the contract, he will stab a knife and sue Apple for monopoly.

"Apple will not engage in monopoly. Apple is open and innovative. We will send people to initiate contract modification negotiations with the Mockingjay game company and the Liberty City APP store, and amend the uniqueness of some terms, such as games such as Fruit Swordsman. The only option for the mall that jumps to the download page..."

Although Jobs had no expression on his face and said in a cold voice, the feeling of being old enough in his heart could not be erased, FXXK, these are some damn clauses for him.

Andy looked at Jobs who threw down an ultimatum and found a reason to get up and leave. He couldn't help poking his lips, squinting his eyes, and sneered, "It's really rude!"

But fortunately, it seems that Jobs did not want to directly lift the table,

After all, the amount of compensation for breach of contract is definitely heartbreaking, and it is understandable to want to loosen the ties. The contract that Andy signed with Apple has many clauses that he didn't care about at first, but now it has become a problem for Apple. Hateful rogue terms.

For example, the jump selection for downloading games; to download games, the software first needs to be bundled with apps such as the App Store in Liberty City. This is also a relatively common rogue bundling mode in the market outlook. 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 their phones. The service revenue of global smartphone manufacturers has increased significantly, and the revenue of global applications has achieved double-digit growth, and the download volume of third-party platforms will soar. This is a huge market worth hundreds of billions of dollars. When others enter the market, the only thing they can do is to rely on the advantages of the first mover to seize market share and exert brand influence.

In his previous life, the AppStore and the two camps dominated the market. Now his city of liberty has been absorbed by Apple, greedily absorbing the nutrients that make him grow stronger, Google's Android system, and his three Internet companies have joined Google's initiative. The Open Handset Alliance, as the first company to send a team to develop and improve the Android system, does not have to worry about the emergence of new programs, and the blank period in the market that appears can be used to seize the market in the first place.

At the reception, Cook held his wine glass and looked at Andy Smith, who was chatting happily with Li Mengxian, the governor of the San Francisco City Government, in the distance.

"It didn't work out. He just dug a trap to plot against us from the very beginning. Who would have thought that his strategic layout would be so forward-looking. This young man is very difficult!"

Jobs walked up to Cook, squinted his eyes half-closed, and said in a gloomy voice. In fact, they also understood that if there was no App Store for Andy Smith, Apple really hadn’t considered this business model before. To be honest, on the other hand, I should really thank him.

"Or kick him out!" Cook also felt very aggrieved. He was also a member of the negotiating team when he signed the contract. He was very happy because he could get a little profit from the download profit of the game. Now it seems that, Nima, that is the poisonous bait cast by this young man.

"Hehe, do you think he hasn't thought about this? Do you believe that as soon as we breach the contract, he will file a lawsuit for compensation, and after getting the money, he will use the money to pay the lawyer's fees to sue us for unfair competition. Monopoly, even if he can't win, he will use the lawsuit to drag us to death, that's what he meant just now."

Jobs didn't know whether it was a sneer or self-deprecating, but the helplessness in his tone was very obvious. This young man was not only difficult to deal with, but also had a demeanor that you were playing tricks, and that I was more shameless than you.

"This bastard!" A black line appeared on Cook's forehead, and he cursed through his teeth.

"You can't underestimate him. Look at his age. He is 23 years old and has earned 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 he thinks Ideas and creativity can earn wealth, let’s negotiate, it’s best to settle at the negotiating table, children from political families value interests and know how to compromise.”

Looking at Boss Joe's thin cheeks and bright eyes, Cook couldn't help but sighed, and drank the champagne in his hand. He knew that the negotiation was undoubtedly their Apple company chose to compromise, after all, it was for a user who didn't know the future prospects. It seems that the hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation paid by the software platform is not worth it at present, and the most important thing is to provoke a billionaire who is willing to put down his figure to play a rogue.

Antitrust is a big stick, who knows whether Apple is afraid or not? But what if he really messed around with him and made a moth! That would be dumbfounding.

At 8:30 in the evening, Andy looked at the time, restrained his smile, put the wine glass in his hand on the tray of a waiter passing by him, put his arms around the slender waist of the little assistant who had been a vase all night, and found the owner Jobs , After leaving with an apology, he left the reception.

After sending the little assistant back to the hotel, in the underground parking lot, Andy said to Tori, "Take the two of them to stay for another night, and fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon. I'll take a step ahead tonight."

Tory Black blinked his big eyes, as if he had thought of something. Although he didn't know who the devil's mistress was in Los Angeles, it was certain that there was definitely more than one, and according to the devil's preferences, the other party was definitely a celebrity. Those who have been rumored to have a great chance, it seems that they are going to get rid of her again and go to a secret meeting to make love. They sighed helplessly, and when the elevator closed, they saw the red taillights of the car going away. ) Download Free Reader!!
