Chapter 1182 Negotiations Broke Down
·
Ku Mao
Jabs looked very depressed.
Chen Mo actually knew why.
Jabs has a very arrogant character and cannot listen to any opinions of others. Coupled with his mania, once he becomes stubborn, he is like a lunatic!
The employees of Pingguo Company usually avoid Jabs when they see him, and no one even dares to ride in the elevator with him.
As one of the founders of Pingo, Woz had been with Jobs for many years, so you can imagine how much anger he received from Jobs.
Chen Mo patted Jabs on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It depends on people. If it doesn't work, we will think of other ways."
In fact, Chen Mo had no other choice.
There is not much cash left in the company's books, and the acquisitions by the six major consortiums have caused Chen Mo's cash flow to have a big problem.
Jabs calmed down, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll contact Woz now."
Chen Mo nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's visit him together in the evening."
Jabs went to call Woz.
Gong Ziyuan asked: "Husband, I heard that Woz was very angry with Jabs. The two have been at odds for many years."
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, I know."
"Then why do I feel that you are so confident in convincing Woz?" Gong Ziyuan asked curiously.
"Hey, don't forget, I am the White Dragon King!" Chen Mo said with a mysterious smile.
……
……
noon.
Jabs drove his Beetle and took Chen Mo and the others to a stop in front of the courtyard of a villa.
Jabs personally opened the door for Chen Mo and let him get out of the car.
With this kind of treatment, I am afraid that only Chen Mo has this honor in the entire scientific and technological world.
"Is this Mr. Watts' home? It's so beautiful!" Gong Ziyuan looked at the swimming pool, garden, and large villa in front of her and said sincerely in admiration.
"If you want a typical high-end building in a hegemonic country, ask our real estate company to open a branch in San Luo.
Oh, of course it has to be before 2007. "Chen Mo said.
Because in 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis occurred in the hegemony, and the entire real estate industry would undergo a collapse. Housing prices plummeted to an unprecedented low!
Of course, based on the current historical development trajectory, Chen Mo feels that the subprime mortgage crisis will not occur until 2007.
Because of his rebirth, the economic and technological development in this world is much faster than in the previous life.
Just as Chen Mo was talking to Gong Ziyuan, two figures came out of the courtyard in front.
Seeing these two people, Chen Mo frowned immediately.
These two people were surprisingly Johnson and Lewis!
The two have been blatantly mixed together!
Johnson made no secret of his ambition to help Jusoft acquire Pingguo because he thought it would be a good thing for Pingguo.
"Jabs? Are you also here to visit Woz?" Johnson said with a playful smile: "Let me introduce, this is Mr. Lewis, the general manager of the GiantSoft Investment Department!"
Louis smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Jabs, I have known you for a long time. Mr. Geci often mentions you and praises you as his spiritual mentor!"
When Louis saw Chen Mo, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but laugh mockingly: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Chen? What a coincidence, we meet again! But this time, I'm afraid you're late!"
Jabs couldn't control his emotions at all and said angrily: "Go away! I don't want to see you, a traitor!!! Pingguo Company will never be sold!!!"
Also, go back and tell that hypocritical guy Bill that the thing I regret most in my life is letting him visit the operating system that I haven't released yet! ! ! "
After saying that, Jabs roughly pushed Johnson and Lewis away and went inside.
Johnson was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Jabs, I know what your purpose is here, but it's a pity that Woz has been convinced by us and he has agreed to this acquisition."
"If you go in again, it's just a waste of time."
Jabs suddenly got angry, picked up a rock from the ground and was about to hit Johnson on the head!
Johnson was so frightened that he ran away!
Jobs is mentally ill and he can't afford to offend him!
"Jabs, it's useless even if you are angry!"
"I said, I'm thinking about the company and the employees!"
"Pingguo can only have a future if it is acquired by Jusoft!"
While running, Johnson continued to stimulate Jabs.
Jabs felt like his lungs were going to explode!
Chen Mo patted Jabs on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't be as knowledgeable as this villain. Only by convincing Woz can you slap Johnson hard in the face!"
The gate of the villa.
A middle-aged man with a beard and half-white hair has been waiting for a long time.
This person is none other than Woz.
Woz's wife died in a car accident, which gave him great mental stimulation. This was one of the reasons why he quit his job.
"Jabs, I didn't expect that you would still be willing to come here to see me in your lifetime."
Woz said with a slightly mocking tone.
Then, he turned to look at Chen Mo, stretched out his hand and said friendly: "This must be Mr. Chen Mochen, the new generation of stock god, right?"
"Long-awaited great name!"
"Hello Mr. Watts, I am Chen Mo, and this is my wife Gong Ziyuan."
Chen Mo smiled and shook hands with Woz.
As soon as the two of them finished their greetings, Jabs asked dissatisfiedly with a questioning tone: "Woz, tell me! Did you agree to Johnson's trash?"
"Ping Guo is our brainchild!!! How can you agree to sell it to others?"
"You are acting traitor!!!"
The more he spoke, the redder Jabs' face became, as if he was about to suffer from bipolar disorder.
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point because of Jabs.
Seeing that Woz became visibly impatient, Gong Ziyuan quickly smoothed things over and said:
"Mr. Woz, Mr. Jabs, can we have lunch first?"
"I'm so hungry now. Can you stop talking about work and wait until after dinner?"
With the foreign beauty Miya Shion here, it would be hard for Jabs and Woz to fall out on the spot.
So, Woz nodded and smiled: "Oh, dear Mrs. Chen, of course! It is my honor to have dinner with a beauty like you!"
"I specially prepared my favorite roast turkey, borscht and beef pizza for you."
Gong Ziyuan's eyes were bright and she said with anticipation: "Wow, so many delicious foods? Thank you Mr. Watts!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere relaxed.
Chen Mo secretly gave Gong Ziyuan a thumbs up.
It is indeed the right thing to bring your wife out!
Jabs was also very considerate to Chen Mo and his wife. Sure enough, he didn't mention the acquisition again during the meal, but he didn't take a few bites of the meal and kept a straight face and lowered his head.
During the dinner, Gong Ziyuan was also very discerning and kept asking Woz about his glorious deeds back then.
And constantly plays the role of admiration.
With such a beautiful foreign beauty holding him, Woz was of course very happy!
From the time he and Jobs created the Pinguo computer to the listing of Pinguo, Woz continued to talk about the Pinguo company becoming one of the Fortune [-]. The sparkle in his eyes seemed to bring him back to that all-powerful era.
"Miss Gong, I didn't expect you to know so much about Pingguo! Wait a minute!"
The fat Woz sluggishly went upstairs to move a well-packed box, placed it in front of Gong Ziyuan, and said with a grin:
"This is the first-generation Apple computer Apple-1 that I developed together with Steve Jobs! It is completely handmade and is the only one in the world!"
"Although the performance is very backward from the current point of view, it is very memorable for me."
"Now I give her to you as a small gift."
Gong Ziyuan said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Watts, I will treasure it well!"
Chen Mo smiled and said: "Honey, you have to put this computer away. Maybe in 20 years, this Pingguo prototype will be worth tens of millions!"
"Hahaha... Mr. Chen, you really know how to joke!" Woz laughed.
However, he didn't know that what Chen Mo said was true!
Twenty years later, the first-generation fruit-ping machine was auctioned for nearly 20 million Daxia coins!
Of course, Chen Mo didn't like this money.
Just being able to own the world's first Pingguo prototype computer hand-made by Pingguo's founder is something to be proud of.
After finishing the meal, Woz said: "Okay, everyone, you are definitely not just here to come to me to eat, right?"
"We can talk about business now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jobs, who had been lowering his head, raised his head again, with the same questioning attitude: "Just now Johnson said that you agreed to the acquisition of Jusoft. Tell me, is it true?"
Woz nodded: "Well, it's true. I will attend the afternoon board meeting and vote in favor with Markkula."
"Woz, are you crazy? Do you like being a traitor so much?" Jabs became uncontrollably furious again.
"Jabs, Johnson has told me that the company's financial situation is very bad now. Many employees can't even get their basic salary and are even on the verge of bankruptcy!"
"He promised me that if the acquisition is successful, he will guarantee the jobs of these employees, and even if there are layoffs, he will give a large sum of generous compensation." Woz explained patiently.
"Those damn idiot employees, what do you care about them? Pingguo has given them enough glory!" Jobs said angrily: "Do you think those employees will thank you? They will just laugh at you for being stupid!!!"
Chen Mo shook his head secretly in his heart.
Woz and Jabs are simply two extremes!
Jobs was an absolute genius. In his philosophy, only geniuses deserved respect, and idiots could be replaced at any time, so life or death didn't matter.
But Woz is different.
He was particularly good to his employees, and even implemented the "Woz Plan" that year, taking out 64 shares and selling them to the company's employees at a price of five yuan per share. At that time, Pingguo's stock price had reached more than 20 yuan.
At that time, Woz and Jabs had a big fight over this matter.
Just like now.
Woz said angrily: "Don't those old employees who have worked hard for Pingguo for so many years deserve our good treatment?"
"Jabs, you have to understand that it is impossible for us alone to achieve what we are now!"
Jabs roared: "No! All of their positions can be replaced, they are just a bunch of idiots! We are the soul and core of Pingguo!"
"If you still think so, then I have nothing to say!!! Please go back!!!" Woz said angrily.
Chen Mo put his hand on his forehead and shook his head with a wry smile.
Jobs' mania and arrogance are really hopeless!
If he hadn't been an IT madman and a design genius, he might have been beaten to death by Pingguo's employees!
"Go back as soon as you come back! I can see that you, like Markkula, only care about money!!! You only look at the immediate interests and don't pay attention to long-term development!!!"
Jabs stood up, pointed at Woz's nose and said, "I really regret coming here!!!"
After saying that, Jabs walked away!
Chen Mo and Gong Ziyuan were left messy in the wind...
Chen Mo actually knew why.
Jabs has a very arrogant character and cannot listen to any opinions of others. Coupled with his mania, once he becomes stubborn, he is like a lunatic!
