Chicago 1990 Chapter 1458: 2nd generation route
"IMac!? That has nothing to do with Steve Jobs. It is a product of the new consumer desktop computer project led by me. His only contribution is to pick the name, even that is not his original. I remember him I used to prefer MacMan..."
For Jobs, the former Apple CEO Amelio naturally had no good words. Back then, he led the wolf into the room and bought Jobs’ NeXT computer company at a premium to return the banished Apple founder. He considered himself a great benefactor. He did not expect that a year and a half later, he The other party took control of the board of directors and left the house mercilessly.
"Hello, Again? Huh..."
In particular, he was full of complaints about Jobs's puns at the first iMac press conference in 1998.
"Hello, once again" shows that Apple Computer hopes to use iMac to reproduce the glorious ambition of the year. It is Jobs' return statement, binding the individual to the new product, and Amelio's previous contribution to this project is completely obscured.
At the end of that conference, Jobs said: ‘Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that Apple is profitable again. ’
Amelio should feel it as if he had eaten the first nine buns, was bitten by Jobs in the last bite, and said that he was finished.
The others at the long table laughed in agreement, and the owner, Holden Mifflin, the president of the publishing house raised a glass to express his comfort.
Song Ya followed everyone with red wine in his mouth, with a smile on his face, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.
People think that they always have filters. Amelio is not a good operator of large electronic companies. He doesn’t understand technology and only values financial statements and capital operations. If Jobs brings NeXT's operating system back to Apple and takes over iMac The project, the iMac inside and outside will definitely not be what it is now, it may not be a success, and it will save Apple from the crisis.
Jobs drastically cut down a large number of messy projects during Amelio's tenure, abandoned compatible computers, streamlined product lines, straightened out the supply chain, and invested R&D funds in projects with great potential such as the iPod, and he was about to complete the recording soon. Industry, launched the iTunes music store.
Even if you look at the market value alone, compared to the low point of Amelio's period, Apple is now twice as high as it used to be.
Jobs is a marketing guru, but Amelio lacks personal charm and influence of public opinion. After being driven away by Jobs and stubbornly denouncing the worst CEO in history, he can't take it off. He doesn't lack the next home, but he never took up the post. Apple's CEO, a highly influential position in the industry, has always been fascinating.
Of course, Jobs' current situation cannot be said to be better. Apple's stock price today is exactly one block. The highest point before the stock market crash was five yuan.
However, Amelio also has advantages. He is a top professional manager at any rate. He has a very good resume before going to Apple, or he can't get the position of Apple CEO. What he is best at is to control an unfamiliar company in a short period of time. , Through layoffs and capital games to create a beautiful financial report card, has a good relationship with the major banks on Wall Street, and is proficient in dealing with politicians. In fact, it was a mistake that he ran to manage Apple's star-studded electronic industry giant, but it was just right for the First Bank of New Jersey with extremely complicated and delicate internal problems.
So Song Ya used his good job as CEO of the First Bank of New Jersey to hook his finger, and he didn't hesitate to jump over to work for the black pharaoh.
He also knows that after Beats and iPod went hand-in-hand, the two sides were already a life-and-death competitive relationship. This is the Walkman business. Sony relied on the cassette Walkman to establish its global dominance.
"Jill, I heard that your investment banking business license has come down?" Linton, who was at the same table, put down his glass and asked.
"Yes, it's still an empty shell for the time being. I am building the framework of the investment department and preparing to launch the first fund." Amelio asked with a smile, "Are you interested in joining?"
"Haha, of course, who should my accountant call?" Linton asked.
The black pharaoh finally started to work as an investment bank to bring everyone to play. Not only Linton, but also many sports stars and friends are interested in taking money to play, including the spare money of Songya Forest. The first fund will be used to invest in the technology industry. The above is to scan Apple stock through Amelio's old relationship.
"It's right in front of you." Amelio patted Dr. Chen's shoulder next to him.
Although the Financial Modernization Act opened up the opening of mixed banking operations, there are still many restrictions. The new New Jersey First Investment Bank will be a semi-independent operating entity, and Song Ya’s shareholding in there will be higher than that of New Jersey First Bank. It is much higher, and it is impossible to throw it to Amelio like Bank One. Dr. Chen, who has been in charge of A+ venture capital for many years, makes him more relieved.
"Haha, okay. How about you? Anders?" Linton asked a young man present.
"I'm still in school..." The young man didn't look up, shrugged and continued to deal with the food on the plate.
Anders Eisner, the youngest son of the Disney Emperor, is younger than Songya and is studying at the nearby Harvard Business School.
The Jews pay much attention to the education of their children, and the vision of the sons of the Disney Emperor is even more extraordinary than that of the rich second generation. It is comparable to the top rich man APLUS, Oscar consort, Hollywood actress Jennifer Connelly nominated by the movie queen, Houghton Mifflin president, Disney Group The vice president, the CEO of the First Bank of New Jersey, the CEO of the First Investment Bank, and the Federal House of Representatives and other political and business figures were at the same table, and they were very relaxed.
A little too relaxed, Eisner should spoil this little son more, Anders' demeanor was a bit frivolous during the dinner, of course this is the reason why he is here.
The royalist's close minister Linton began to follow Eisner's family route. Because they were banned from buying Disney shares, Song Ya and his alliance could only use this circuitous method.
"By the way, Anders, are you interested in my bank job after graduation?"
Amelio cooperated tacitly and pretended to ask: "There is a need for a good young man like you..."
"Mail room?" Anders interrupted Amelio impolitely. His father Eisner, like his childhood friend Ovitz, also started his career in the mail room of William Morris' agency.
"Hahaha!"
Amelio laughed, "Impossible! Your teacher won't agree."
The relative of Professor Jennifer Connelly at Harvard who is here happens to be the teacher of Anders' business school.
"I think about it?" Anders had to consult his father, who had a strong desire for control, on matters such as choosing a career.
"Yes, do you like the financial industry?" Amelio asked.
"Uh...I am more optimistic about the real estate industry." Anders replied.
Due to the consistently bad endings of dealing with the rich second and third generations, Song Ya never joined their chat circle. While chatting with Jenny beside him in a low voice, he straightened his ears and listened to the movement there.
Linton, Amelio, and Houghton Mifflin are all human beings, and Anders is coaxed into comfort.
"Are you coming back to filming so soon?" he asked Jenny.
"Don't count it, just go to the Super Sense agent crew to have a cameo appearance."
Jenny answered. She just gave birth to a son for Song Ya: Rams, Song Ya has been with Boston during this time.
Eisner has three sons, and Anders’ two older brothers are both in the entertainment industry, and the Disney Emperor is taking care of him. The eldest son Blake is more literate and has a dream of director. He is already a very successful commercial director. This year Will officially start filming the first film: Super Sense Agent.
