Vol 5 Chapter 1211: prevention

One second to remember【】, provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Peppa looked at Feng Yiping. He chose to trust his intuition this time. His intuition told him that this question seemed to be what Feng Yiping wanted to ask the most today.

He didn't quite understand. Why did Feng Yiping bring up this topic now? He and Apple currently have no competition at all.

Jobs is also a little puzzled, why?

With his arrogance and arrogance, he has to admit that Feng Yiping's ideas are geniuses in terms of Internet product development.

But at present, his main business in the United States is very clear, two aspects: one is social, including NEXTDOOR and Facebook; the other is the content industry, represented by Netflix, YouTube, and the newly acquired Marvel.

These two aspects, and Apple's current main business, can be said to have no intersection.

Even Marvel, and its own Pixar, belong to the film company, but Pixar's direction is animated films, and Marvel's main direction is definitely science fiction movies, which is not in conflict.

So, what does he mean by this?

"Feng, you should know now that Silicon Valley should be the most open technology circle and enterprise circle in the world. We will compete, but we will also cooperate."

"It is difficult to change the world. It is also difficult for a team to independently operate a project that can change the world. As far as Apple is concerned, we hope to cooperate with Google and NEXTDOOR,"

He paused, "In this regard, I think we will have specific plans next year at the latest."

Feng Yiping understood that this was referring to the iPhone currently under development.

"But Feng, I still don't quite understand. You said that we will definitely compete in the future. In what ways?"

If the average person said something like this, he would just not hear it, because it is not just a company that is qualified to compete with Apple.

And because it's an indiscriminate company, Apple, under its leadership, is not afraid to compete with them.

But it was Feng Yiping who had to admire him in some ways.

Not to mention his own products, just to talk about the improvement and implementation of iTunesStore, Feng Yiping played a very constructive role.

Judging from his character, he is not a targetless person.

"This is also some of my feelings," Feng Yiping said. "I have always selected some projects that are not too popular from the mainstream perspective and concept to avoid competition with friends."

"However, from my experience in China, when the scale of the company is large enough, whether you like it or not, it is inevitable to compete with other companies."

"This is mainly because, from an objective law, there are always only a few hottest industries in a certain period of time. If you don't get involved, then your company's development will definitely stagnate."

"And now this big environment is an environment in which you will retreat if you don't advance. If you fail to keep up, you may fail to keep up with each step later."

"Although we are in peace at present, I think in the future, we will definitely encounter a similar situation. In fact, we don't need to talk about the future, just say that we have conflicts with Google in the online advertising field.

Jobs glanced at the two of them. Although there is already a conflict, looking at you, it seems that there is already a tacit understanding.

"I can take the project mentioned by Page just now. It is necessary for Google to develop its own online payment tool. I think it would be good if NEXTDOOR had such a product, because I think, for us, a A product that can be linked to finance means another blue ocean."

"So, in the future, will Apple make efforts in this area? This tool can be used in Apple's online store and iTunes\Store."

Jobs shook his head, "We don't have this plan now,"

That's because you are now developing a cross-age product, so you don't like these businesses. But in the future, when your product innovation is weak, will you still have this attitude?

"Then going back to my proposal just now, I think that with the advancement of technology, in addition to music, other film and television works will be launched on iTunes\Store. This is definitely a necessity, and it will inevitably and Netflix and YouTube competition,"

"Netflix is ​​already developing our own TV set-top box, and I think this is also an inevitable step in the development of iTunes\Store. At that time, competition was also inevitable."

Jobs looked at Peppa and smiled, "Feng has made a great strategic plan for our iTunes\Store."

There is actually nothing to disclose these news. When the technology has developed to a certain level, even if Feng Yiping does not say this, Apple knows how to continue to develop iTunes\Store.

Feng Yiping has said this now, but once again it shows that he not only sees far, but also sees accurately.

"Also, we all know Apple’s ability to produce hardware. So, one day in the future, Steve, will you feel that you are not satisfied with all the cars on the market, so you design one yourself. So as to compete with our Tesla?"

Jobs smiled and waved his hand, "Haha, I never thought about it,"

"Also, in the future, will Google think that Apple's computer prices are too high, which is not conducive to the development of its own business, and will also test the water hardware manufacturing to compete with Apple?"

"Of course, I know Peppa, you must not have thought about it now, but who can say for the future?"

"That said, I feel that in the future, it will be a rare thing for the three of us to get together like this," Page also smiled.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, right," Feng Yiping said.

He couldn't be more clear about this, this is something that must happen.

Senior fruit fans should have impressions. When Jobs released the iPhone on January 9, 2007, the first guest to go up to the platform was Google's Schmidt.

Schmidt was joking at the time, if the two companies merged, the name must be Pinggu.

At that time, the two of them were so close, but soon the relationship took a turn for the worse. Schmidt was "suppressed" from the board of directors of Apple, Apple and Google, and because of the launch of Android, they instantly changed from brothers to enemies, and Jobs even shouted If you have to spend the last penny, you have to knock Android down....

Now, Android is his own company. Feng Yiping can fully imagine that after the iPhone was released in 2007, after Rubin made his achievements, it was the end of his honeymoon with Apple and Jobs.

At that time, it is probably the same as Peppa said, it is not realistic for the three parties to sit together like today.

If such a scene really occurs, how should I put it, Feng Yiping feels that it is indeed a pity. This is the main purpose of what he said today. For everyone, mainly to vaccinate Jobs, the competition between us , It is inevitable.

"I very much agree with Steve Jobs. It is difficult to change the world, so we should cooperate more. But what I want to say is that in many cases, it is also difficult to change ourselves. Competition from friends is the best way to promote us. Means of progress and change,"

"So, regardless of whether you will compete with us in the content field, in the TV set-top box market, in the automotive field, Steve, I will always regard you and Apple as my good friends and close partners."

"It is very difficult for a person to meet a few good friends and close partners in his life, and for us, Steve, you, like me, shouldn't worry about money since the age of twenty."

"Well, Peppa is a little bit later," Peppa was born in 73, and he didn't have to worry about money after he was 30 years old.

"We all have a common goal, that is, we all want to bring some positive changes to the world. Therefore, I really don’t want it because some competition in this process will affect our relationship with each other. ..."

These words have some emotional considerations, and of course they have a lot to do with business.

Apart from other things, if you have a fight with Jobs, many orders in the Gorilla Glass business will definitely fall apart.

"Listening to you, it seems that the consequences are very serious," Jobs smiled lightly. "Look at our relationship with Microsoft and the relationship with Gates. You will understand that your concerns are unnecessary. "

extra? It is by no means redundant.

Although you and Gates are appearing together in public now, and they say it's good to laugh with your brother, but in private, I believe even if they fight together.

"From the perspective of our current layout, I think the three of us still have more opportunities to cooperate. Of course, I think that the situation as Feng Yiping said is not ruled out. In the future, Google will produce hardware, I don't know. , Can’t guarantee,"

"But I am very confident about one thing. I believe that with our wisdom, as long as we can calm down and communicate seriously, we should still be able to find a perfect solution to the problem."

Jobs laughed again, "Calm down when you said, mainly referring to me,"

It seems that he is not ignorant of his violent temper.

"I have a lot of times, and I get very impatient," Page said.

"You don't need it," they both said to Feng Yiping, who was about to speak.

"I haven't seen him angry yet, how about you?" Jobs asked.

"I think about it," Page thought about it seriously, "Neither."

"If there is such a day, I hope the two of us can restrain ourselves together, OK Feng, do you have anything to say about this?" Jobs asked.

He wouldn't smile.

Feng Yiping shook his head.

Although he is still not optimistic about what will happen by then, it is already commendable to get the two of them, especially Jobs.

Going on, Page is okay, and Jobs will definitely be impatient.

This kind of work cannot be done overnight. I hope that in the next time, I can do this prevention work more perfectly.

Although he knows the difficulty of this job, for example, it is certainly difficult for you to change some of Jobs' ideas, but in any case, since it is foreseeable that conflicts will inevitably occur in the future, it will naturally be able to weaken one point, and it will always be better. Minute.

It doesn’t mean that enemies should be settled or not, and there is no intersection, but since the relationship with Jobs is good, Feng Yiping is really reluctant. In the last few years of Jobs, this is probably something that cannot be changed. The relationship between everyone is so bad that it can't be added.

And this kind of prevention work is the best time to start this year.

By this time next year, or later, because we have to cooperate with telecommunications companies, and high-tech companies including Google and Yahoo, and this time should also include our own NEXTDOOR in order to provide users with a better experience on mobile phones. Integrating applications that users usually cannot do without, Jobs will definitely disclose the iPhone project to relevant people.

If we were to do this work at that time, it would appear to be too utilitarian. If it is similar to today, it would naturally not be convincing.

Peppa glanced at Feng Yiping, "If the three of us can merge, what a powerful force would be!"

Jobs was taken aback and then laughed, "Hahaha, I can't even think of such a scene,"

"But Feng, there is one thing I want to do now, which can be considered to give you peace of mind, your Tesla, welcome new investors?"

"Huh?" Are you joining?

"You are right~www.wuxiaspot.com~The automotive industry is indeed very unsatisfactory for me now. Although your Tesla is still in the development phase, from your perspective, I think it will be A nice project, so I like it,"

"I can't guarantee that I can convince Apple to invest, but I personally want to be an investor in Tesla, how about it, would you welcome it?"

"Of course, of course welcome," Feng Yiping said.

One thing is certain, as long as we are more closely connected now, no matter what kind of conflict we face in the future, at least it will not be more ugly.

"Do you think some investors before Tesla would welcome my personal investment?"

Say you have a good relationship with Gates? Your so-called "previous investors" must refer specifically to Gates.
