1991 Starting from the core

Frankly speaking, Su Yuanshan was really a little afraid of Mr. Qiao returning to Apple - or in other words, he was a little afraid of Mr. Qiao.

After attending the Apple press conference, I felt somewhat confident.

Although both of them were eyeing the title of genius, Su Yuanshan knew that his genius was a parallel import, while Mr. Qiao was the real genius with a "stereotype" impression.

Smart, paranoid, strict, bad-tempered, pursuing dreams and focusing on career.

To be honest, Su Yuanshan sometimes couldn't help but sigh to himself. In Yuanxin, with a boss like himself, the senior brothers below are really "blessed" - if there is a boss like Mr. Qiao, I don't know how many people can stay. Go down.

At the very least, Mr. Xi and Li Mingliu, the two most characterful people, couldn't stay here.

…

The next day, everyone was still working as usual, and Tang Wenjie still served as the driver for Su Yuanshan, delivering him outside the Apple building.

"I heard that Old Qiao is difficult to get along with. Do you want me to accompany you?" Tang Wenjie opened the car door, glanced at the burly black security guard at the door, and smiled at the thin Su Yuanshan: "If there is a fight, I can still help you. Block it."

These words immediately amused Su Yuanshan, who had a somewhat serious expression. He glanced at Tang Wenjie, who was also strong. Thinking of Tang Wenjie's help in blocking Yang Yiwen's knife, he chuckled and said: "Come on, I'm not a sister-in-law, so I still don't enjoy it. This kind of treatment.”

"I'm leaving?"

"Let's go..." Su Yuanshan closed the car door for him, put his hands in his pockets, shook his head mockingly, and began to stagger towards the building.

This time, he did not visit in the name of Yuanxin, but in a personal name - so the tone was a meeting between two entrepreneurs who are both called geniuses in Silicon Valley - a little short of a legend.

Although Apple has not built their iconic flying saucer building yet, it has bought a large piece of land. In terms of scale, it looks like the R\u0026D Center of Yuanxin Capital.

And Apple is far less open than later generations. At least, there are doors now.

There is an automatic retractable door at the gate. Because it is working time, the gate is now closed. A tall black security guard has his hands behind his back and stares at Su Yuanshan expressionlessly.

"Brother, I'm looking for Mr. Qiao." Su Yuanshan looked up at the security guard, and finally introduced himself: "My name is Su Yuanshan."

"Wait a moment." The security guard glanced at Su Yuanshan and asked twice into the intercom. Then his eyes changed and he waved to open the door.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuanshan saw two middle-aged men rushing out of the building.

After the two introduced themselves, they led Su Yuanshan into the building and into the coffee shop on the fifth floor.

Su Yuanshan kept looking around the inside of Apple Company all the way, and found that with the return of Mr. Qiao, although there were tables and sofas for employees to rest everywhere in the building, there were few people there at the moment, and most people looked a little hurried. , I think the work task is not light.

In the Noda coffee shop, only a few employees were drinking coffee, while Jobs was sitting in a far corner, tilting his head and looking out the window.

"Mr. Su, the president is waiting for you over there." The administrative director named Wilson stretched out his hand and guided Su Yuanshan forward with a smile.

"Thank you, I saw it."

"Then I won't disturb you."

After Wilson finished speaking, he crossed his hands in front of him and watched Su Yuanshan walk towards Jobs's position with a smile. There was quite a bit of anticipation in his eyes.

——As a senior executive of the company, he had witnessed Mr. Qiao being forced to retreat, and then witnessed Mr. Qiao's return, and even witnessed Mr. Qiao starting to troll people when he came back.

Apart from Apple employees, the one he criticized the most was Yuanxin.

To be precise, it is Yuanxin’s YX team.

Then he immediately passed a board resolution, persuading ARM to disband and open up its patents and source code, leaving only one team for daily maintenance and subsequent research and development.

Now, Su Yuanshan comes to visit Apple alone...

I don't know what kind of sparks will arise between the two.

And as an Apple executive, Wilson knew Su Yuanshan's past very well. He knew that Su Yuanshan would visit some well-known companies every time he came to Silicon Valley. In the past, Apple was placed at the bottom - even in Wilson's memory, it seemed that Su Yuanshan only visited once when he was promoting EDA.

But this time, Su Yuanshan appeared at Apple headquarters after news of a private meeting with Intel's Andy Grove at Bill Gates' home, which may mean that he also wanted to meet Mr. Qiao.

After all, someone originally compared Su Yuanshan to Steve Jobs.

Of course, this statement has been mentioned by many people now - which also means that in the eyes of the people who eat melons, Su Yuanshan's achievements may have surpassed Steve Jobs.

…

"Mr. Jobs, can I sit down?"

Su Yuanshan approached Jobs's seat and asked with a smile.

Jobs was originally stern and had a beard. Although he didn't look very tall, he still gave people an inaccessible and invisible pressure.

However, this pressure soon disappeared.

The corners of Jobs' lips curled up slightly and he nodded slowly: "Hello, Sue. Please sit down."

"Thank you, just have a cup of coffee." Su Yuanshan was not polite and sat down opposite Jobs, and then placed an order as naturally as if he were in a coffee shop.

Jobs was not worried, turned around and shouted to the back: "Who has time for another cup of coffee?"

Immediately afterwards, he put his hands on the table and looked at Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips, adjusted his gaze slightly downward, then met the other person's gaze again, smiled and said: "First of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule."

Jobs shook his head: "I'm not busy."

"..." Su Yuanshan thought to himself, aren't you just talking to death with your words?

And he was still talking to death by lying - he didn't believe that Jobs would not be busy in the face of Apple's complete defeat in the war with the X86 platform and the desperate situation.

Whether it is the Apple in the previous life or the Apple in this life, this is the most critical moment.

Moreover, Su Yuanshan also knows where Apple’s future lies.

After Jobs returned, in addition to cutting off many money-losing businesses, he also formulated Apple's future development direction-namely, mobile communication equipment.

To put it bluntly, it’s a mobile phone.

In the field of feature phones at that time, there was no design at all, and Apple happened to be famous for its design. Therefore, Apple is very visionary and forward-looking when entering the mobile phone market.

Now, it should be the design period of the first generation iPhone.
