Seeing the rare admiration on his boss's face, Henry couldn't help but pay more attention to Jobs. Although this guy is still doing well after leaving Apple, even better than when he was at Apple, after all, he is not at the same level as KY Investment Fund, so Henry didn't know Jobs very well in the past two years.
"Boss, but Jobs is now a billionaire with Pixar Animation. Is he willing to return to this quagmire of Apple?"
"Don't worry, he will definitely come back. Apple is his real child. How could he watch his child die?" Yang Jing's words made Henry nodded involuntarily.
In fact, although Jobs is very successful now, it is because of Pixar Animation.
In 1985, Steve Jobs failed in the power struggle at Apple and was forced to resign as chairman of the board. He then invested $10 million to buy the Emeryville computer animation effects studio under Lucasfilm from Lucas, the producer and director of "Star Wars". He then turned the computer animation effects studio into an independent company. This company transformed from the computer animation effects studio is the famous Pixar Animation Studios.
Even though Steve Jobs left Apple and started working on animation, computers were still his favorite thing. So while working on Pixar, he also started working on NeXT computers. He hoped that NeXT could become the second Apple computer and defeat the current Apple.
It’s a pity that the years after Steve Jobs left Apple were unlucky. Even though he invested huge amounts of money in NeXT computers, the sales of NeXT computers were always lukewarm, or even dismal.
From the establishment of NeXT computers to their acquisition by Apple, in the nearly ten years since its establishment, NeXT computers only sold a pitiful 50,000 units. In 1995, when the powerful storm created by the combination of Windows operating system and Intel processor swept the world, not only Apple computers suffered a fatal blow, but NeXT computers were also unable to escape.
The NeXT computer, which had already had poor sales, became a waste!
At this time, Boss Qiao was actually about to become the Boss of the Beggars' Sect. He was so poor at that time that he almost had to sell his blood and sperm!
But if the east is dark, the west will be bright. Perhaps God couldn't bear to see the former genius in such a miserable state, so God quietly opened a window for Boss Qiao.
Pixar Animation, which was not originally taken seriously by CEO Steve Jobs, actually produced "Toy Story", the first computer 3D animated film in human history, after several years of hard work.
At that time, even Steve Jobs himself was not optimistic about this first full-length animated feature film in human history shot entirely with 3D computer animation. However, as soon as Toy Story was released at the end of 1995, it became a box office bomb in North America. With a North American box office of 191 million US dollars, this animated film became the champion of the North American box office in 1995! It also grossed 358 million US dollars in the world!
A movie instantly transformed Boss Joe into a wealthy man. Boss Joe, who was almost forced to sell his blood and sperm, immediately became a billionaire with a net worth of $1 billion!
After resolving his own difficulties, Boss Joe immediately turned his attention to Apple, which he once loved and still loves. Apple is his own son, and now his own son is in danger of death. How can Boss Joe, as a father, allow his son to die?
Therefore, at the end of this year, under the operation of Jobs, Apple will acquire NeXT Computer for $400 million, and Jobs, who was ruthlessly kicked out of Apple that year, will return to Apple as a savior!
Everyone knows what happened next. As soon as Steve Jobs took office, he immediately contacted Microsoft, which was fighting with Apple, because Microsoft was desperately explaining the monopoly issue to the US Department of Justice. If Apple went bankrupt, it would definitely have an adverse impact on Microsoft. Steve Jobs seized on Bill Gates's concerns and persuaded Microsoft to inject $150 million into Apple, allowing Apple to obtain extremely valuable funds.
With this funding, Apple was stabilized, and then Steve Jobs began to display his talent that had been suppressed for more than ten years. The huge success of iPod in 2001 was a concrete display of Jobs' talent.
With the huge success of iPod, Apple ushered in a turning point. Steve Jobs once again made drastic reforms to Apple. Using his keen sense of the market, he launched many popular products in succession, which continued until the launch of the iPhone!
It can be said that after the iPhone came out, Apple ushered in its most glorious decade!
Some people even say that the emergence of the iPhone is "one of the three Apples that have ever changed the world."
In the history of human development, the appearance of three apples has changed the world. The first one is the apple eaten by Adam and Eve in the Bible, which changed the world's cognition; the second one is the apple that fell on Newton's head, which changed the world of physics; the third one is the bitten apple in Steve Jobs' hand, which changed the world of science and technology.
This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but we have to admit that the iPhone has indeed changed the world.
This is also the ultimate goal that Boss Qiao pursued throughout his life - to live is to change the world!
He did it!
