Chapter 1068 The success of two losers

.A few days after resigning, Jobs founded com computer company and continued to start his career journey.

In December 1996, almost all major computer newspapers around the world published the news that Apple acquired com on the front page, and Jobs returned to Apple. At this time, Jobs became famous because his company successfully produced the first computer cartoon "Toy Story", and his personal value had soared to one billion US dollars. In contrast, Apple was on the verge of despair.

In the face of crisis, Jobs bravely used the authority of the CEO and made drastic reforms. He first reorganized the board of directors, and then did something shocking to the point, abandoned his old grudges, shook hands with Apple's old rival, Microsoft, and reached a strategic comprehensive cross-licensing agreement. Jobs became the cover character of Time magazine again.

Under the reform of Jobs, Apple finally made a profit. When Jobs first took office, Apple lost as much as one billion US dollars, but a year later, it miraculously made a profit of 300 million US dollars.

Jobs became a miracle and always gave people constant surprises. The genius computer talent, approachable style, wonderful creative thinking, and unstoppable leadership style have built the core content of Apple's corporate culture. The respect for him by Apple employees is simply a religious fanaticism.

When the four people emerged, someone was already predicting that Jobs would be on the cover of Time magazine for the third time.

A famous saying by Jobs is that I am a genius and I will definitely succeed.

Fan Wubing also admires such a talented and outstanding person.

Although this time, the government department received the visit to China, as the main body of Jobs' visit to China, the employees of Fan's Investment Group provided various services along the way, allowing Jobs to easily learn about China's exhibitions in recent years in a short period of time.

Feeling the attractiveness brought by China with great changes, Jobs' attention to the Chinese market immediately rose to a new level. After visiting the major companies and the size of the Kouji Clubs under Fan's Investment Group, Jobs also felt that it was absolutely not unreasonable that Fan Wubing could become a big name in the world's financial industry in his prime, so he was more confident in the cooperation between the two sides.

After five days of visiting China, Jobs was invited to give a speech at Peking University, and Fan Wubing also appeared in the lecture hall of Peking University on time to support Jobs.

The lecture hall, which can accommodate 500 people, was crowded, and there were obviously more people standing in the aisle than sitting. Media reporters also seized the favorable terrain and set up long guns and set up their speeches live.

Fan Wubing sat in the front seat, smiling and listening to the leaders of Peking University sideways to introduce to him the recent exhibition of Peking University and the concerns and greetings he expressed to Fan Ting, who graduated from Peking University.

"This is the benefit of power and wealth. Before I was reborn, I worked so hard to attend a third-rate pheasant university, but now I can sit here openly and listen to the performance report of the Peking University leaders. It's really incomparable." Fan Wubing thought of this situation and couldn't help but shook his head with some emotion.

After a brief speech, the host invited Job, the protagonist of the speech.

Fan Wubing had never seen Jobs before. When he saw him appearing at the speech table, he visually measured that he could look about 1.85 meters tall, and he could look half a head taller than himself.

When he saw Jobs and Fan Wubing, he couldn't help but think of Shi Yuzhu who had just turned over in the country.

Comparing Jobs and Shi Yuzhu, these two iconic figures in the business circles of their respective countries should be a very interesting thing.

Both of them are the best among the intellectual youth in their country. They are not only good at brains but also fearless. They devote themselves to starting businesses in high-tech fields early, and reached their first peak in their careers around the age of 30.

Both of them are used to despising stereotypes, with a maverick look, one always a black pullover with jeans, while the other is bald red and white sportswear.

Both of them have innate business sensitivity and are real cross-border experts. Jobs has proved his ability in many fields such as music, movies, and mobile phones, while Shi Yuzhu is galloping on the battlefields of software, real estate, health products, financial investment, online games, etc.

They are perfectionists who demand details, and they can make a product shocking and ghosts. The Nang Platinum that has been sold for many years is still the best-selling health product in China, while the evil occupies 70% of the market share of the digital music player market. In addition, people are still marketing geniuses who have insight into human nature. However, one makes money by exploring the beauty of human nature, while the other uses the weaknesses of human nature to grab money.

Perhaps because success came too quickly, they all directed a self-destructive high fall, and after they woke up, they relied on their amazing self-correction ability to draw a task again and continue to move forward.

There was a time when Shi Yuzhu seemed to be about to become China's Jobs. At that time, Giant Group launched an independent product every year, and quickly grew into a high-tech group company with a output value of one billion and a profit of tens of millions this year.

Almost at the same time, Jobs was left with only tens of millions of dollars in cash and two companies facing layoffs and reorganizations. He could become the American version of Shi Yuzhu, such as doing real estate in California, opening a casino in Las Vegas, filing oil and arms in the Middle East, or becoming a shrewd equity investor. But he did nothing, and just continued to pay his own and others' pockets to support two companies that lost money for a long time, and stubbornly waited for them to grow up.

But in the end, A is A and B is Mao

To a certain extent, Jobs was lucky. In the United States, his idealism always found the right viewer, so he gritted his teeth and did not compromise with reality.

Senior entrepreneurs like Rospero are willing to check out checks and share risks with them, and big companies like Snyder also agree to invest in small companies to make animations and participate in the sharing of the money.

The reason why Shi Yuzhu became today's Shi Yuzhu is because he is carrying a huge debt of 200 million yuan and wants to make a comeback. As for the two projects at hand, although the profits of software are very high, the market is relatively limited. If you want to pay off the 200 million yuan, it will probably take ten years. The health care products are not only big but also just starting out, but only five years will be needed to make Nao Platinum at most.

Afterwards, his choice was actually correct.

Jobs's close friend in his early years, Daniel Kotke, who once went to India to make a pilgrimage together, once said, "Steve always had his Apple computer in his heart. From a deeper analysis, his success was due to a deep sense of insecurity in his heart, which made him have to go out and prove his value in existence."

And the young man from Anhui town and who was alone in big cities had a very similar heroism complex. In 1990, Shi Yuzhu, who was 1.8 meters tall and weighed less than 60 kilograms, gave his company a very loud name, Giant. He announced that Giant would become China's four kings and the giant in the east. After Xiao *ping's speech in the southern tour, the supreme leaders inspected the Giant one after another, and there was an inscription saying that China should be a Giant.

In the end, Shi Yuzhu was overwhelmed by this sense of self-giving and the imposed sense of mission by the outside world.

After that, he became a thorough pragmatist, doing only what a businessman should do.

But Jobs continued to play an idealistic tyrant role. Under his authoritarian rule, Apple operated efficiently like a small kingdom.

If Jobs was born in China, a subject society rather than a civil society in the sense of being a civic society, his arrogance would spoil him, and people succumb to his authority until he destroys the company, just like Mou Zhong, Tang Wanxin, and Sun Hongcheng. But he was born in the United States, American capitalism had a kind of hedging power. Board of directors, shareholder representatives, and institutional investors restrained him like a series of tight spells.

In the end, Jobs and Apple achieved a win-win situation.

What is rare is that neither of them has become slaves to the failures of the past.

Jobs learned to be tolerant and knew how to trust and authorize outstanding people, such as the British, John Lasette, the president of muscle, and Jonathan Ever, who originally designed a white toilet and later served as vice president of design at Apple. He also learned to cooperate and openly, allowing Microsoft to invest in it, and using Intel's chips to establish an open mobile phone platform.

Shi Yuzhu knew that he must always maintain a sense of crisis and keep the company full of cash flow forever. He only does business with high profit margins and is not related to the government. Such business is often in a gray area. He went to China and Minsheng Bank, cashed in time and sold Shanghai Jiante. Giant went public to raise nearly one billion US dollars, keeping a sufficient distance from the media.

The only regret is that he is no longer interested in innovation.

American biological historian Jared Diamond asked in his book "Guns, Germs and Steel, The Destiny of Human Society". Why are cattle, horse, sheep, and pigs from Eurasia, instead of alpacas in South America and zebras in Africa, becoming livestock that eventually widely distributed around the world? His answer is the environment.

Fan Wubing thought about this. For a moment, he felt a little dazed. He thought that maybe Jobs went to China, or Shi Yuzhu went to the United States, or the endings of the two people would be exactly the opposite of now?

It can be seen that the ancients said that the Pill was born in Huainan and the Accumulation was born in Huainan. Different environments really have a completely different impact on human development.
