"BOSS, are you sure you want to eat a lot of Apple stocks at this time?" Henry Williams sat in front of Yang Jing and asked with a puzzled look, as if he didn't believe that the boss would make such a "low-level" mistake.

From the beginning of speculation on the exchange rate of the US dollar, the yen and the German mark, to the stock market crash in 1987, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the collapse of Japan's financial market, Henry Williams, as the CEO of KY Investment Fund, all participated in the whole process. Therefore, Henry Williams admired his mysterious boss, very much.

In his eyes, his boss is an omnipotent god in the financial market!

But can God make mistakes? Otherwise, why would the boss order to eat Apple's stock at this time? But everyone knows that Apple, which once had a glorious moment, is now completely ineffective. Bankruptcy is its best and only way out! Otherwise, most of the shareholders of Apple would choose to jump off the building.

Last year, in 1995, Apple's performance took a sharp turn for the worse as Microsoft released the Windows 95 operating system. This year, on February 5, 1996, Business Weekly even put Apple's famous trademark on the cover to explain the current headlines: the fall of American idols.

Since Jobs left Apple, Apple has replaced three CEOs in just ten years. In particular, computers based on Windows operating systems and Intel processors quickly dominated the world, Michael Spinderer, a German who only replaced John Scalley as Apple's CEO in 1993, stepped down again, and Jill Amério became Apple's new CEO at the beginning of this year.

Facing the strong combination of Windows operating system and Intel processors, even if Amério struggles hard to make Apple survive in such a world, there is little hope.

Amério even chose to lay off employees, reorganized the company's multiple products and divided them into the following four categories: Macintosh computers, information equipment, printers and peripherals, and "alternative platforms". In addition, the operating system department and the high-tech department have added Internet service departments to try to regain Apple's market share.

Moreover, many people also gave advice to Apple at that time. For example, Wired magazine published an article titled "The Way to Save Apple", which put forward many suggestions on Apple's situation: sell Apple to IBM or Motorola, increase investment in Newton technology, and make full use of Apple's advantages in the US primary and secondary education market.

Wall Street analysts hope and urge Apple to sign a cooperation agreement with Sony or HP.

But these measures ultimately cannot resist the powerful offensive created by the cooperation between Windows operating systems and Intel processors. Apple's bankruptcy entered the countdown in 1996!

Looking at Henry Williams' puzzled expression, Yang Jing smiled slightly, "Henry, listen to me, immediately arrange to secretly eat apple stocks, and still use the old method to eat them in a scattered manner, so that outsiders can see our intentions."

"WHY? Apple is no longer able to do it." Henry continued to ask persistently.

Yang Jing rubbed his eyebrows slightly, then looked up at Henry and said, "It's very simple, because Steve Jobs is the man!"

"Jobs? The one who founded Apple?" Henry was even more confused. "Hasn't he been driven out of Apple long ago? Will he go back?"

"Bingo!" Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction, "It is precisely because I judged that Jobs would return to Apple, and I firmly believe that Apple will resurrect in Jobs' hands and create a more brilliant future that I made this decision. If we don't seize this opportunity at this time, it will take a few years to go bankrupt now and this Apple that is about to go bankrupt will inevitably make us regret it."

"But BOSS, it's been eleven years since Jobs left Apple. Can he come back?" Yang Jing's reason made Henry not as excited as before. "I know Jobs quite well. When I was working at Goldman Sachs, when Apple went public, Lehman Brothers was very optimistic about this company. At that time, Lehman Brothers earned a lot of money. As it turned out, that guy Jobs was a genius."

After a pause, Henry continued: "But genius is hard to accept by ordinary people. Yes, the invention of Apple II did make Jobs the youngest billionaire in the world at that time, but similarly, Jobs' advanced business philosophy made the Apple under his command experience a serious setback in the following years."

Yang Jing said with a smile: "Yes, the release of Lisa database and Apple Iie did cause huge losses to Apple, especially the high R&D expenses of Lisa database that encroached on Apple's large amount of funds. In addition, IBM's personal PC launched by the company triggered the market at that time, which caused Apple Iie to suffer a huge blow. But it is undeniable that Jobs's business philosophy is actually very advanced. Henry, if you look back at the Lisa database that was criticized for nothing at that time, how do you feel?"

Henry hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If Lisa database persists, then there may be nothing about Oracle at this time."

"Isn't that all?" Yang Jing clapped his hands, "Although Jobs lost to Lisa's database, you have to admit that it was just because Jobs's business philosophy was too advanced, not that his business philosophy was wrong. In fact, if you can really study Jobs carefully, you will find that this guy is really amazing. I don't think he is worse than Bill Gates and Larry Ellison. He is even better than the former two in some aspects, especially in terms of business philosophy and grasp of the market.

I think Jobs is a very magical guy. So, if Jobs really returns to Apple as I judged, then with his ability, he will definitely lead Apple out of the predicament and toward glory, just like he created Apple back then. And after the failure of Lisa's database, Jobs will be more steady than before, and pay more attention to market experience and feedback. If he can return to Apple this time, he will not make any mistakes. Jobs, who will not make mistakes, is an extremely terrifying guy!"

Seeing that the boss had a rare look of admiration on his face, Henry couldn't help but pay attention to Jobs. Although this guy was still very prosperous after leaving Apple, even better than when he was at Apple, after all, it was different from the level that KY Investment Fund paid attention to, so Henry didn't know much about Jobs in the past two years.

"BOSS, but Jobs is now a billionaire with Pixar animation. Will he return to the big 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 nod involuntarily.

In fact, although Jobs is quite popular now, that's because Pixar animation brings him.

In 1985, the leader of Joe failed in the power struggle of Apple and had to resign as chairman of Apple and left Apple. He then invested 10 million US dollars from Lucas, the producer and director of "Star Wars", to buy the computer animation studio of Emeryville, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, and changed the computer animation studio into an independent company. The company restructured from the computer animation studio is the famous Pixar Animation Studio in later generations.

Although the leader Qiao left Apple and started playing animation, computers were still his favorite, so while dressing up Pixar, Joe started NeXT computers again. He hoped that NeXT computers could become the second Apple computer and defeat the current Apple company.

It’s a pity that the leader Qiao, who left Apple, has been writing memorization for the past few years. Even though he invested heavily in NeXT computers, the sales of NeXT computers have always been lukewarm, and it can even be said to be bleak.

From building a NeXT computer to being acquired by Apple, in nearly ten years, NeXT computers sold only a pitiful 50,000 units. Especially in 1995, when the powerful storm caused by the combination of Windows operating systems and Intel processors swept the world, not only did Apple computers suffer a fatal blow, but NeXT computers are also difficult to survive.

NeXT computers that were not sold were originally badly sold became a waste of money!

At this time, Gang Qiao was actually almost the leader of the Beggars' Sect. He was so poor that he almost sold blood and sperm!

But if the east is not bright, the west is bright, perhaps God can't stand it. The genius who used to be so down and out was so depressed, so God quietly opened a window for Gang Qiao.

Pixar animation, which was originally not taken seriously by Joe, after several years of painting, actually created the first step in the computer 3D animation movie "Toy Story" in human history.

At that time, including the leader Qiao, he was not optimistic about this first long-form plot animation in human history, which was completely made of 3D computer animation. However, as soon as this movie "Toy Story" was released at the end of 1995, it was released. The animated film became the champion of North American box office in 1995 with a North American box office of 191 million US dollars! It even won a global total box office of 358 million US dollars!

A movie immediately asked the leader of the Qiao Gang to replace the cannon. The leader of the Qiao Gang, who was almost forced to sell blood and sperm, immediately turned into a billionaire with a net worth of $1 billion!

The leader of the Qiao Gang, who solved his own difficulties, immediately turned his attention to the apple he once loved the most. Apple is his own son, and now his own son is facing the danger of death. How can the leader of the Qiao Gang who is a father allow his son to die?

So, at the end of this year, under the operation of Jobs, Apple will acquire NeXT computers for $400 million, and the leader of Joe's gang, who was ruthlessly kicked out of Apple, will return to Apple as a savior!

Then everyone knew what happened next. As soon as the leader of the Joe took office, he immediately took the initiative to contact Microsoft, which was inextricably quarrel with Apple, because Microsoft was desperately explaining the monopoly issue to the US Department of Justice. If Apple goes bankrupt, it will definitely have an adverse impact on Microsoft. Joe's leader seized Bill Gates's concern and persuaded Microsoft to inject $150 million into Apple, allowing Apple to obtain extremely valuable funds.

With this funding stabilized Apple, then the leader of the Joe Gang began to display his talent that had been suppressed for more than ten years. The great success of the iPod in 2001 was a concrete manifestation of Jobs' talent.

With the great success of the iPod, Apple ushered in a turning point. The leader of the Qiao Gang once again made drastic reforms to Apple. He used his keen sense of the market to launch many popular products in succession, and continued until the launch of the iPhone!

It can be said that when the iPhone arrived, Apple ushered in its most glorious decade!

Some even called the emergence of the iPhone "one of the three Apples that once changed the world."

In the history of human development, three apples appeared, which changed the world. The first was the apple that Adam and Eve ate in the Bible, which changed the world's cognition; the second was the apple that hit Newton's head, which changed the physical world; the third was the apple that was bitten in Jobs's hand, which changed the technological world.

It may be a bit exaggerating to say this, but I have to admit that Apple phones have indeed changed the world.

And this is also the ultimate goal that Gangmaster Qiao pursues throughout his life - living is to change the world!
