Three days later.
Qualcomm's shareholders' meeting was held as scheduled.
At the meeting, representatives of Longteng Group presented an equity transfer agreement, confirming Qualcomm's status as the largest shareholder.
They also voted on the two issues previously raised by Chen Dong.
Since Antonio and Chen Dong together hold an absolute controlling stake, both proposals were passed without any suspense.
at the same time.
Chen Dong and his group were driving to Emoryville.
Emoryville is a city in Alameda County, California, USA.
Located in the San Francisco Bay area north of Oakland, adjacent to Berkeley and Oakland, it covers a total area of approximately 5.21 square kilometers.
Chen Dong came here because Pixar Animation Studios, which was acquired by Steve Jobs, is located in this city.
Fortunately, Qualcomm's headquarters and Pixar Animation Studios are both in the same state, and driving is extremely convenient. By 4 p.m., the group had arrived in Emeryville, the city where Steve Jobs lived.
Anne had been here once before.
The problem of accommodation for the group was quickly resolved.
The next step was to contact Steve Jobs himself.
After Annie repeatedly contacted, communicated, and confirmed, the meeting place was finally finalized.
A restaurant run by Irish immigrants in the area.
Sliced pork sausage, blood sausage, mashed potato and cabbage, raisin pudding...
Looking at the food served by the waiters, Chen Dong had no appetite whatsoever.
How much longer until Steve Jobs arrives?
This was the third time Chen Dong had asked the question.
Anne was also helpless upon hearing this.
Even when she saw these so-called delicacies, she kept having doubts.
"Boss, it'll be ready soon. Just bear with it a little longer. Or, should I have Wolong go buy a hamburger or a sandwich?"
Seeing the man she loved troubled by food, Annie was incredibly patient, like she was comforting a child, and she couldn't help but find it amusing.
In Annie's mind, Chen Dong was like an omnipotent god; there was nothing he couldn't do.
But now? Chen Dong's childlike behavior made Annie feel even more at ease with him.
So even gods get angry and have mood swings.
"Never mind, I'll go to the door for a smoke."
Most restaurants abroad have no-smoking signs.
If a guest smokes in the restaurant, they will be politely asked to leave.
Even more serious offenses can result in fines or even detention, even for smoking on the street.
It was at this moment.
Chen Dong saw a familiar figure.
The visitors were Steve Jobs and his assistant.
Even if Steve Jobs were reduced to ashes, Chen Dong would probably still recognize his face.
"Miss Anne."
"Mr. Jobs, Mr. Pixar."
Annie stood up, gestured to the two men, and then introduced Chen Dong to them.
"Do you remember the boss I mentioned to you last time? This is my boss, Miss Chen, you can also call him Chen Dong."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jobs, Mr. Pixar."
"Hello to you, Chen."
For foreigners, the name Chen Dong is quite a mouthful.
Chen Dong smiled and gestured for the two to sit down.
At this moment, Jobs looked at Chen Dong with a suspicious gaze.
Chen Dong did not back down at all.
Their eyes met.
Chen Dong's smile widened.
"Mr. Jobs, I have long admired you and would say I am a loyal fan."
Jobs gave an awkward smile, his wariness lessening slightly.
"You flatter me. I heard Miss Anne mention before that you have some things you need to discuss with me in person. Is now a convenient time?"
"certainly!"
Chen Dong nodded and began to speak eloquently.
With Annie's accurate translation, Chen Dong's idea of needing Steve Jobs to join him in making smartphones was fully explained.
Jobs nodded from time to time, showing great agreement with many of Chen Dong's forward-thinking ideas.
However, it was inevitable that Chen Dong left a bad impression on him.
It can only be said that some of Chen Dong's ideas are still on paper or just concepts.
To truly realize and manufacture these products, technology alone is not enough; a large amount of funding is also needed for continuous research and improvement.
Jobs smiled and said, "Chen, you are a great genius. I agree with some of your ideas, but unfortunately, I have no plans to leave my current studio at the moment."
"I can only apologize to you."
"Mr. Jobs, if that's the case, I'm very disappointed. There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken.' I had too high expectations of you."
Annie was taken aback and looked at Chen Dong in surprise. "Boss, do you really mean it?"
"Speak up, what can't you say?"
"Okay, fine!"
Annie gave a bitter smile to herself; Chen Dong was really going to offend someone to death.
Despite her thoughts, Annie still accurately translated Chen Dong's words to Jobs in their entirety.
really.
Anne had barely finished speaking.
Jobs' face darkened instantly, and he questioned him.
"Chen, what do you mean by this?"
"It's nothing. I originally thought that you, who were like a stray dog, would regain your fighting spirit after leaving Apple. But unfortunately, you are no longer the great Apple creator in my heart. I am very disappointed in you."
Pixar angrily rebuked Chen Dong: "What do you know? Oh damn, how can there be such an ignorant person as you? What gives you the right to talk about Mr. Jobs like that?"
Pixar!
"I....."
