Chapter 78 (1/2)
Chapter 78 - First day at the box office
Eric nodded, said goodbye to Jeffrey and the others, and walked with Steve Jobs to a nearby coffee shop
”It was a country full of devotion, I saw rims, so I was drawn to shave my head, without any discomfort or resistance Instead, I followed the flow of people, walking all the way to the shore of the Ganges River But at the sanorance of that country”
”Later I thought, Perhaps Thomas Edison's contribution to mankind far exceed those philosophers and artists When i returned to California, I no longer pursued the illusory philosophy of life, instead, I chose the electronics industry as e, I and several friends set up Apple”
In a coffee shop, Eric gently stirring his coffee, patiently listening to Steve Jobs talk, this opportunity is not easy to h Eric does not like Steve Jobs character, but he admires his talent
After more than 10 minutes, Eric finally could not help but say: ”Steve, have you ever reflected on yourself?”
The sudden interruption left a trail of displeasure on Jobs face, who asked: ”reflect, why should I reflect?”
”For example, ere you driven out of apple?”
Steve Jobs with a solemn face corrected:
”No, Eric, I wasn't driven out of apple, I gave up apple voluntarily”
Eric shrugged and said: ”Look, this is a flaw in your personality, you're not willing to compromise, which also led to a bottleneck in the development of both you and Apple If you had made an appropriate coo, perhaps you can continue to stay in apple With your strength, getting the leadershi+p of Apple back again is a piece of cake”
Steve Jobs retorted: ”If I uys will force me to do it a second time, then a third time or even more compromises”
Eric chuckled and shook his head, He understood that it is absolutely iPixar, he didn't know if Steve Jobs will ever return to Apple in the future
In the past, Steve Jobs was able to achieve such dazzling achievements, in addition to his talent and perseverance, Luck also accounted for a large part
If he had sold Pixar before, there will be no dazzling successes story after the release of 《Toy Story》, and he hiet of ridicule In that case, perhaps the desperate Apple would rather file for bankruptcy, then invited Steve Jobs back
Eric didn't want to persuade Steve Jobs either, shi+fting the subject to the topic the
too of them meet for today: ”Let's talk about Pixar, Steve, since you've found ht?”
Steve Jobs hesitated for a , is he wanted to meet Eric face to face, so he can persuade him to rise the price, he was quite confident in his eloquence
Unfortunately, he just said soman didn't interrupt him, but he showed an unmoved appearance Eventually, he knew that if he said a word about increasing the price, The other party will act like last time on the phone, he will directly walk out on him
”Eric, I agree with the 20 o”
”No problem,” Eric put down his cup of coffee, and happily snapped his fingers
Steve Jobs was looking calm until Eric suddenly showed his excited expression, for that e mistake
But since the decision has been o back on his word, He is a ain: ”Eric, are you interested in personal computers?”
Eric quickly understood theof Steve Jobs: ”Do you want me to invest in your NeXT computer company?”
”Yes, PC's are a very pro electronic products, look at the past few years, IBM personal computers business development data is known, just last year”
”Stop, Steve, I'ures All I ask is, if I buy NeXT, would you accept my advice on the company's business?”
”ThisEric, you only need to invest fiveno, thirty h ood idea I had before I'h profit”
”That is to say, I am only responsible for investement of the company?”
