Chapter 250: It can be smaller
Liu Meng repeatedly muttered the sentence "Ask for knowledge as hungry, and humble as foolish". This is a pursuit of innovation that is almost as if it were ascetic, constantly moving forward like a new peak. Apple's products are different from others. Apple's products are like her helmsman Jobs, who refuses vulgarity. The product characteristics of a company are influenced by the founder, which is like the spirit of drawing a sword.
At the end of the speech, the prides of Stanford spontaneously applauded for more than five minutes, which was a recognition of Jobs' talent and a sincere respect.
Three days later, Liu Meng finally got a meeting with Jobs at Cupertino's Apple headquarters. The plump beauty with big waves and blonde hair and blue eyes led Liu Meng up there. She didn't even touch her chest and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, you are so amazing. Mr. Jobs actually met you."
Liu Meng was in a good mood and joked: "Of course, I have always told the truth and can't even tell a lie. Just like this, you are such a cute and beautiful girl."
American girls love humor the most. After hearing Liu Meng's words, the girl giggled and laughed very happily, "Mr. Meng, you are such a gentleman. I believe that the cute and beautiful lady will definitely be willing to date you."
Liu Meng thought that American girls are really open. If you think you are nice, you will invite them. If the date feels good, then things will come naturally. You will change the topic and say, "You should call me Mr. Liu, or Meng. The naming method of our Chinese is different from that of you Americans."
It caused a burst of giggles from the girl, and she handed her own business card to Liu Meng and smiled: "Dear Mr. Liu Meng. If you want to chat with someone, you can call me."
Liu Meng took the business card and nodded with a smile. When he arrived at Jobs' office, two engineers were arguing with Jobs inside. One of the Indian engineers hesitated and said: "Mr. Jobs, our latest ipod has been the most streamlined and can no longer make any changes to make it lighter and thinner unless we invent the devices from the inside to the outside ourselves."
Jobs held the latest generation of ipod prototype and started playing with it for a while. Without saying a word, he began to analyze the device carefully. After half an hour, Jobs insisted: "This prototype is too heavy and too large in size, and you must continue to work hard to modify it."
Another white engineer insisted: "Mr. Jobs, this is the end result. It is impossible to make the ipod smaller."
Jobs was silent for a while. Then he stood up, walked to the edge of the fish tank, and threw the ipod prototype into the fish tank. When the ipod bottomed, bubbles floated out of the water. Jobs said: "Look! There are bubbles, which means there is room, continue to streamline the size!"
The two engineers looked blankly at the ipod prototype bubbled in the bathtub and Jobs's cold and unquestionable face, nodded and left.
Liu Meng was shocked. Jobs' pursuit of products did achieve an unbearable paranoia, but it was this impossible requirement that ultimately made Apple. No one would succeed casually, and even more so for a company. It is to strive to do its best. The rules are used to break them. Only by following these principles can one make people better and the company more successful.
Jobs then noticed that Liu Meng had come in and said with a smile: "Young man, sit down and tell me what you have to do with me. I believe you are not a sensational and exaggerated person."
Jobs never said a word of nonsense. He often said that he didn't have much time and would never allow false polite waste. Liu Meng had never contacted such a direct person. Moreover, Chinese people are naturally sleek, and they always talk about things and talk about things. Naturally, they don't make any mistakes. They immediately said: "I hope to use your influence to let me let as many Americans know me in the shortest time."
Liu Meng was very confident when he finished speaking this request and did not have a stance of asking for help. He believed that as long as the key technology of throwing out the iPhone was in my control, Apple must cooperate with me. As a kind of cooperation, this requirement is not an exaggeration.
Jobs looked at Liu Meng's expression a little strange. He didn't expect that he would say such words, and even more so that he could maintain such expression after saying these words. He replied: "Young man, I admire your courage and confidence very much, but I have never gained nothing in life. I am not an omnipotent God or a philanthropist. Why do you want to help you? My life creed is that giving will bring rewards. Before harvesting, you must sow seeds. We can chat like friends, for example, when talking about women, the girl named Anna who brought you in just now is very spicy, and she is the dream lover of the young men in our company."
Liu Meng was a little surprised and vibrated slightly. He was about to confess to Jobs, but suddenly hesitated whether to use such resources. It is actually a bit early to throw out patented technology now.
Just as he guessed what Liu Meng was thinking, Jobs continued: "Make good use of the resources you have. No one is absolutely pauper, has nothing, and has always possessed perseverance when he has no wisdom. He usually has youth and time when he has no experience. He usually has the desire for him when he has no wealth. Even if he has nothing, he still has the mentality of starting up easily. Therefore, uselessness is a false proposition. Everyone has resources. Successful people use the resources they have to achieve their desired goals."
Liu Meng was originally going to throw out the monopoly of patent technology, but after Jobs said that he changed his mind. In addition to resources such as patent technology, he had at least a lot of resources. As Jobs said, as long as he was good at using it, he could achieve the purpose of becoming famous in the United States, so that he would have the greatest possibility to be seen by Gu Pan and let her take the initiative to come to him.
Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to turn yourself into a big magnet and let the needle be attracted automatically from the sea.
After saying that, Jobs looked at Liu Meng. Liu Meng didn't say a word of nonsense and solemnly bent down and said to Jobs: "Thank you, I'm leaving, but Mr. Jobs, please keep the paper I gave you properly. I still believe you will use it one day, and it's worth 100 billion."
After saying that, Liu Meng turned around and left, and Jobs's voice rang behind him, "Okay, I'm looking forward to when I need it, it must be very exciting." (To be continued...)
