Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 218: 100 Billion Business at Private Dinners

Chapter 218 Hundred Billion Business at Private Dinners

What?

Is the sun coming out from the west today? Someone actually invited me to dinner?

Roland's head was buzzing, quite unexpectedly.

Since he entered the circle, he has not participated in any gathering activities. Compared with those well-connected social stars in the circle, he looks boring like an old man in his eighties. , Randomly pick out a big guy who sits with him and eats, that can completely crush those grass-roots teams in the circle. Roland is taking the elite route, playing dimensionality reduction strikes. See how happy he is.

And the party that Spielberg can call him to go to is obviously a high-end scene. Just like James Cameron who brought himself to knock on the door of Wall Street, there is not only Hollywood behind Spielberg.

It's a pity that before he could ask a question, the old man had already put down the file, locked the office and left. So, when Roland went home to change his clothes, his eyes were really smeared, and he didn't know what to wear.

Dress more formally...

If you are having dinner with people like George Lucas tonight, isn’t that just asking for fun?

Dress casually...

If you have dinner with a big guy you don't know tonight, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

After thinking about what the old man said before, "It's up to you whether you bring your family or not, you're all your own people anyway", Roland simply pulled Kate along and changed into a black and white couple outfit.

Pure black shirt jacket and slacks, with a white short sleeve inside.

White dress with tie waist, hem and calf.

Standing together, that is a golden couple, a perfect match!

However, regarding Roland's hasty approach, Kate had something to say: "You don't even know who you are going to see, so why not take me with you?"

"No matter who I go to see, I will take you with me."

Roland is not stupid, but usually too lazy to talk to other people, "I can't help it, who let you be by my side, I have a sense of security?"

"Tch, look at your pride, let's go."

Although Kate didn't say anything, she was very happy in her heart. She took Roland's arm and left the house rattling.

When the two arrived at Spielberg's house, the old man who was ready just asked them to follow him, and then led the run, while the two who were behind were confused by his actions.

Looking at the figure of Yiqi Juechen, those who knew knew that this was an appointment, but those who didn’t know thought it was to meet an old friend!

After driving for more than an hour, the two parties stopped at the entrance of a private club in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles. The two got out of the car and followed the old man in. Beware of doubts, they saw the man sitting on the circular sofa. Behind the two distinct groups of people, unexpected emotions welled up in my heart along with the realization of the reality.

(⊙o⊙)

It turned out that someone really treated someone to dinner today.

"Hi, Paul, when I had free time, I kept inviting you to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, you were very busy at that time, so we missed it unfortunately. I didn't expect that when you have time now, I was caught by various people in the company. The project was dragged down, and it was impossible to pick up the plane at all, which is really a pity..."

As soon as the two sides met, Spielberg erupted with great enthusiasm for Paul Allen, but when he opened his arms to hug him, the guy who got up to greet him responded with 'disgust', "Oh! Come on! Steven Why are you being polite to me?"

"I don't want to come to you when your schedule is full. If you want to blame, you can blame William..."

"He took the initiative to come."

"Really?" Spielberg asked with a smile, "William?"

Hearing this, Bill Gates, who also stood up, extended his right hand and gave Spielberg a friendly shake with a smile. Although his movements were elegant, his mouth was merciless, "Steven, he is talking nonsense, Obviously he was showing off to me that the DreamWorks he invested in has already made crazy profits, so he invited me to take a look and brag about his talent in investment..."

"Oh? It's an exaggeration to say that it is crazy profitable. Since its establishment, including this year, we have launched a total of four projects. Although the prospects are great, judging from the current results, we can only be regarded as on the right track. "

When Spielberg heard this, his words immediately became sincere.

Paul Allen was immediately upset when he heard what he said, "Hey! Steven, blow it!"

"You can't talk about the company's prospects in front of me alone, but you can talk about the reality when William comes?"

"It's embarrassing for me!"

"Because William is not an investor, we have professional ethics and only describe a bright future to investors."

Singing and saying hello similar to a cross talk, Jobs rolled his eyes for a while. When Spielberg turned to hug him, the guy didn't show mercy to the other two at all, and said bluntly, "I am Pulled by them."

"It wasn't you I met, but your student."

"Roland is now Apple's largest shareholder."

The crisp words made Spielberg smile again and again. After patting his old friend on the shoulder, he turned around and looked at the little guy behind him. He took a deep breath and said with emotion: "I know."

Hearing these words, Bill Gates and Paul Allen looked at each other, and both sides saw helplessness on each other's faces.

have to…

This guy is a real conversation starter.

However, after looking at each other, they also turned their eyes to Roland who was aside by coincidence, stepped forward and stretched out their hands.

"Hi, Roland, Hi, Kate, I don't think we need to introduce ourselves."

"Of course, Paul, Steven talks about you a lot."

“I read a lot of books about your personal experience.”

"Hello, Roland, Hello, Kate, don't pay attention to that guy's words, he's just like that."

"Oh, Mr. Gates, I..."

"No, No, No, you already call him Paul, why do you still call me Gates? William is fine..."

"Okay, William, my teacher is here, even if I have an opinion on him, I dare not say it!"

The merciless words made them nod their heads with joy, but before they could respond, Jobs, who had already approached him, said with a dark face, "I've heard everything, so don't say it if you don't dare to say it..."

The hard words were impersonal, but after that, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Steve."

"Roland." Roland didn't care, but grinned.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's go in."

Seeing that Jobs still looked arrogant, Paul Allen greeted him directly, "Because it was a temporary position, many restaurants didn't prepare it, but William and I brought some ingredients ourselves..."

During the gap between step-by-step, Spielberg also found an opportunity to whisper to Roland, "Steve is like this."

"He will only enjoy the joy of success brought by himself; he was driven away by the shareholders back then. Now that you have become the major shareholder of Apple, he will naturally not like you when he sees you for the first time."

Although the invitation was only received in the last few days, after chatting with Roland about "Saving Private Ryan", the old man made people watch Roland's every move, because he felt that there was a problem with the development idea of ??Warcraft Film and Television.

It is obviously correct to learn from Amblin to hoard copyrights. However, after searching for copyrights, the company does not develop. Where did the flowers go.

If you don’t stare, you don’t know. When you stare, you are taken aback. When he found out that Shouwang Venture Capital was targeting Apple and Microsoft in the primary market, and the number was no longer huge, but infinitely tended to enter the board of directors, he knew that today Sooner or later it will come.

Unexpectedly, before he finished all the things at hand, these guys were already making appointments.

Of course, the old man's explanation was actually within Roland's expectation.

Jobs, no friends.

Isn't this a well-known thing in the world?

If he saw Roland for the first time, he would hug the current major shareholder like he saw his godfather, and he would not be kicked out of Apple by the shareholders back then. There would be no such thing as Microsoft.

Corresponding to Roland, who nodded naturally, is the slightly restrained Kate.

If, a year ago, Kate, who accompanied Roland to participate in Ronald Perelman, was able to cope with those scenes with ease, and Roland didn't know what to chat with those people, then now, the two sides just lost sides.

Kate has seen old money, and having experienced the influence of history, she knows how to communicate with those guys, but now, these guys in front of her are all trendsetters of the times, not to mention the Internet, even personal computers are talking to Roland After dating, she came into frequent contact—well, more often she was researching why Roland was fascinated by a broken machine!

Is this more fun than women? (Nonsense, this can see a lot of young ladies!)

"They all acted alone. It seems that your decision to bring me here was a mistake."

"Where is it? It's just a private social dinner, and it's the first time I've seen them, so we'd like to chat more."

Unfortunately, Roland's expectation could not become a reality. After entering the box and taking a seat, Jobs, who was extremely purposeful, asked straight to the point about Roland's intention to acquire shares in Apple.

"I asked William and Paul, and they said that they were not in charge of this matter."

"So, did Steven make you do this?"

The same words reappeared, and Bill Gates and Paul Allen smiled wryly and supported their foreheads. Steven Spielberg, who was passively involved in this matter from beginning to end, also shook his head helplessly. Clearly, if Jobs didn't understand Roland's intentions, then he wouldn't eat today's meal, and he would be full of laughter just sitting here.

So, they wanted to expose the matter quickly, and at the same time, they also wanted to find out the reason.

"Yes, Roland, if it weren't for your generous hand, we might not even meet today."

"Do not develop Warcraft film and television, but invest in technology, is it because you have tasted the fruits of victory in Yahoo's investment case?"

"If you don't tell your thoughts, he will feel bad, and if he feels bad, we will feel bad too."

Such words are like a capitulation meeting. Although the wording does sound a bit unreasonable (I asked the bottom line when I first met), but considering that these guys in front of me are all in a Lamborghini for a few seconds. He deliberately wasted time, so Roland didn't mind them asking this question, and Roland voted for Apple just to get to know Jobs, so now, he wouldn't hide it even more, but the reason he gave didn't make everyone feel sincere—

"If I say that I like Pixar animation, I hope that the company owned by Steve can create more classics, so I want to buy Apple shares, support the cause he likes in exchange for his inner happiness, and use it It turns into a good motivation to run the company to meet my own needs, do you believe it?"

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were stunned.

"What?" Spielberg looked at Roland with shocked eyes. For the first time, he discovered that his student's brain circuit was so weird. "Roland, if you like Pixar, why didn't you tell me before?"

"I'll help you make an appointment with Steve, won't the matter be settled?"

"Yeah, isn't this just a phone call? Do you need to sweep away 10% of Apple's shares in the primary market?" Paul Allen is also a **** who spends money without blinking, but for the first time he Seeing that someone spends money like this!

"Your joke is very funny, but I don't think Steve likes it." Bill Gates also wondered to chime in.

"Steve isn't joking right now."

As the three spoke to Roland, Jobs, who was sitting directly opposite Roland, looked as dark as a blue sky.

The slightly curled corners of his mouth twitched even more.

Kate kicked Roland with her foot, signaling him not to fool people with these words of coaxing children, and be more serious.

As for Roland, he felt that he was too wronged——

‘The fundamental purpose of my investment in Apple is for Pixar animation! '

‘What kind of world is this! No one would believe me when I told the truth! '

‘Does it have to be a conventional reason to convince these guys? '

‘Otherwise, this kind of arrogant guy will just take me as a joke? '

Spielberg's kind can get into the circle by calling a teacher, truck drivers' kind are shameless and others can teach them, bald Perelman's kind is good friends as long as they can make money, and Wolf King Icahn's kind is the only one I can see Like a guy who can see the value in front of him, Jobs also has his own personality, and his biggest characteristic is his extreme self-confidence.

He has the confidence to handle everything. He firmly believes that he is right and others are wrong. If he can't put forward a point of view that catches his eye, then Roland can only be a shareholder, not his friend.

After all, among the three present, Bill Gates used Microsoft to win Apple, while Spielberg used games to crush the salesman who sold the machine at that time. In other words, if you don’t slap him, he will feel pain. , he won't even think you're awesome.

As the saying goes—

'To make friends, you must overcome yourself, and it is better to have nothing than yourself. '

But wanting to slap Jobs in the face, no matter how you think about it, it is a bit difficult!

Seeing that Jobs' patience was about to reach its limit and he was about to jump out to meow, Roland sighed, and he said directly, not wanting to pretend to beep: "Well, I just want to express my admiration for Pixar in a joking way... "

"Since you want to know the reason, then I will say it directly. In fact, investing in Apple is just one of the most common investment behaviors, because I think that after Steve returns to Apple, he can inject vitality into Apple."

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Bill Gates, who was chatting with his friends in the office for a long time that day, was the first to ask.

Although he felt that Jobs was a bit stubborn, it was actually convenient for him to evaluate Roland.

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple..."

"If you don't mind me talking about history, then I will say it..."

Roland cleared his throat, unprepared, he had already found a set of arguments in his mind.

"Steven and I both like games, and we also know that the Atari shock back then was caused by him, so when I got rich and developed games, I deliberately bypassed Steven I don’t like Nintendo, but at that time, the console market had limited products and personal computers were popular all over the world, so the research and development direction of the company under my name was computer games.”

“In the process of developing computer games, we found that with the emergence of Windows 95, the degree of game creation is higher than before. Coupled with the rapid growth of the Internet market, our company has developed online battles last year.”

“The virtual world is constantly flooding with incremental netizens, and Microsoft is the overlord of the operating system industry, so even if Steve returns to Apple, Apple, a personal computer manufacturer, cannot beat Microsoft in terms of personal devices right now.”

"Not only that, Steven also told me before that when Steve bought Pixar from George, the main purpose was to sell personal computers again. The reason why Pixar made animations was purely to better display their computers to the outside world. It's a pity that Pixar, which has gone through the path of animation production, lost in the field of personal computers, so..."

"I believe that Steve can't be working on personal computers when he understands the general situation."

"Or in other words, he who has returned will lead Apple to find growth points for the company other than personal computers."

uh-huh?

Although what Roland just told was some old-fashioned and rotten things, everyone's face showed interest.

Now that they can sit together, they have accepted the current facts, and no one will be arguing about those bad things back then. Not only that, the belief that Roland said has also become more clear under the clear proof. allure.

If before, Paul Allen just attributed Roland to a lucky kid, then now he also wants to know why Roland believed in Jobs, and while he was urging, Jobs, who was elbowing the table, , has already spoken.

"Then what new growth point do you think I will look for?"

"Or, is there any new growth point that makes you think you can hold a large number of shares in Apple?"

"Uh..." Roland hesitated, "I just have some immature thoughts..."

"It's okay, just say it..." Paul Allen added: "I know you are worried that if the idea is valuable, it will be directly used by Apple or Microsoft after going back, but...you are not only a shareholder of Apple, but also a shareholder of Microsoft. Shareholders, the communication between us will ultimately increase your interests..."

This is what Roland is worried about.

If Penguin is notorious, one second you developed a blockbuster project, and the next second I will plagiarize you and sue you, then Microsoft will have even less credibility. In their eyes, the business field is only about profit. no friend.

They can laugh and laugh in private, but at the same time, they will not let go of any ideas.

However, he also understood that if he didn't say it, Jobs would obviously not accept him because of a historical analysis, so after pondering for a while, he changed his mind and said, "Well, my immature idea, In fact, it started because of Yahoo and IMDb. When I first came into contact with IMDb in 1991, because the internet speed was very slow, I could only load text.”

"Afterwards, the increase in bandwidth made image transmission possible."

"By last year, IMDb and Yahoo were able to store some videos of less than 15 seconds and less than 3Mb..."

"Okay, I understand!" Before Roland could finish speaking, Jobs, who had been listening, interrupted.

His face remained unchanged, but his eyes were full of surprise and shock.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who were also listening, narrowed their eyes, and the two of them frowned and frowned at the same time.

What did Roland just say?

Isn't that what Jobs did after Apple came back?

Because the personal computer field has been occupied by Microsoft, Jobs found another way, and tinkered with the music player iTunes and iPod. Digital music player software and music players were sought after by music fans as soon as they were launched.

Unlike the previous situation where you had to buy an album to listen to songs, now, music fans can buy by the single.

The sales volume of this product exceeded 100 million as soon as it was launched, and it soared to 1 billion in the second year.

By 2008, its revenue accounted for a quarter of Apple's total revenue!

Sony, which is also a portable audio player, was beaten by Apple!

It is no exaggeration to say that from this day on, Jobs put down his PC and led Apple into the era of mobile devices!

However, the history told by Roland is not the point.

For Jobs, Roland's current thinking is fundamental!

How could he not see the Internet wave created by Yahoo?

How could he not know about the small video advertisement on IMDb?

However, regardless of whether it is Yahoo or IMDb, they have only recently used these playback technologies, returned to Apple, and are still vying for power. He has not yet cleared the entire board of directors and has not yet begun to think about these specific things!

Roland has already discovered that with the increase of equipment capacity, audio and video can become a profit point in the future?

This, this, this...

If he still felt that when he asked the question just now, today's meeting was a game between Bill Gates and Steven Spielberg, then now, he really believes that Roland is only out of investment considerations I bought a stake in Apple!

because-

Bill Gates and Paul Allen, those two stupid beeps, obviously only discovered this problem!

So he had to stop Roland's narration!

Because he doesn't trust Microsoft!

While he was calling to stop, Bill Gates and Paul Allen also looked at each other.

Bill Gates' eyes were full of certainty about his previous analysis, while Paul Allen was unbelievable.

Investing in Yahoo, IMDb, and Blizzard Entertainment…

These behaviors are not a coincidence?

Roland, who will only come of age on January 1 next year, actually understands the Internet?

Bill Gates, who holds the idea that "some people are born to interpret success", is not surprised.

He even wanted to keep listening. After returning to Microsoft and defeating Netscape, it was the moment when Microsoft organized programmers to conduct crazy research and development around the new content discovered by Jobs according to Roland's ideas.

Unfortunately, Jobs, who seemed to have discovered the same problem as Roland, didn't seem to give him this chance.

"Uh...it's okay, you can continue talking, the video on the website, what's the problem?"

"We at Microsoft are also developing MSN. We also found that with the increase of network speed, videos can also be embedded in web pages for playback. At the same time, we also noticed a series of problems..."

"If you have any trouble, you can tell us, we Microsoft can cooperate with Yahoo..."

Smiley words made Jobs, who was still in shock, sneer.

"William?"

"Are you trying to swindle other ideas from Roland the same way you swindled the Windows idea from me?"

Hearing this, Bill Gates just shrugged, not embarrassed.

Seeing this situation, Jobs turned his head to look at Roland again, and said, "Let me tell you, Roland, don't believe any of his words. If you have any ideas, you can do it yourself, and they Microsoft will only copy."

"If I were you, I would sell the more than 10 million shares of Microsoft and eat all the apples."

"If you get 34% of Apple's stock, you get a veto..."

"Don't you like Pixar? I can sell you half of the shares."

"You know, your teacher asked me to buy it before, but I was not willing to sell it."

When Jobs made such remarks, everyone on the scene laughed.

They knew that Roland's thinking was consistent with that of Jobs, to the point that this old stubborn was the same as he treated Bill Gates and Steven Spielberg back then, and felt that Roland was qualified to be his friend.

This is a good thing for Roland, but for Bill Gates and Paul Allen...

Well, although they really want to know how Roland and Jobs came together, but now that the two parties treat the same question as a business secret, it's hard for them to ask.

"Since the problem has been solved, can the waiter serve the food now?"

Spielberg, who had been silent since he encouraged Roland to help everyone solve the confusion, jumped out to warm up the scene, and following his words, everyone who also didn't want to talk about this topic nodded in response.

Under Paul Allen's call, many ingredients that Roland didn't care about on weekdays were all served on the table.

"Boiled California Red Abalone with Pine Needle Rice from Ice Lake."

"The chef here personally dived to catch this."

"Bigeye Tuna."

"Specially selected for you, although the wild bluefin is very easy to handle, but compared with that, the big purpose has less fat content."

"We know you need to control your diet."

"Oh, this is the blueberry jam that William specially brought, grown in his own estate."

“Since last year, Melinda has been a full-time wife at home. She likes to do these things when she’s fine.”

"If you don't want to take the children at home, Melinda will come over this time."

After getting rid of that stubborn guy Jobs, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately eased a lot.

Spielberg and Paul Allen made jokes. At the beginning, Jobs, who had the four big characters on his body, also complained about the treatment Disney gave to Pixar. Bill Gates and Kate, who like to collect art They chatted very happily, but only Roland chose to bury his head in hard work, as if he had been abused all year round.

Only Kate discovered Roland's true thoughts.

Take a sip of unknown food, and then take a sip of the fine wine that Paul Allen and the others brought.

All the enjoyment that was confiscated at home on weekdays has now been recovered.

Picking up the cigarette on the table, he stuffed it into his mouth, squinted his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Then it is really a cigarette after a meal, which is better than a living god.

Of course, Roland was not too much.

Finished half a bottle of wine, extinguished the cigarette butt, then turned around and smiled at Kate, proving that he was only in daily communication.

Such a style was also seen by the other four people. Spielberg shook his head. He is used to Roland's behavior as a family member. Bill Gates was originally pursued by his wife, although he has various But to put it bluntly, in addition to raising Xiaomi, life is also controlled quite ruthlessly. Jobs and his wife are both Buddhists. He is a madman at work, but in life—it is said to be the boss of the world. I'm the third child, but that's about it.

In other words, out of the bunch of people present, only Paul Allen lived that kind of nightly life, the other guys.

Can understand Roland's little joy at the moment.

After dinner, a group of people did not leave on the spot. First, Bill Gates’ goal was not achieved. Second, it was really early. After finding another place to sit down, Bill Gates He also asked about other things on the sidelines.

"I heard from Carl that you want to sell Yahoo stock?"

"But you don't want money, just Marvel?"

"Why? Is it because a flaw in the portal was found?"

This statement similar to a thief made Jobs roll his eyes. Although he wanted to remind Roland, he also wanted to hear Roland's thoughts. After all, the audio and video Roland said before surprised him to the extreme.

Of course, this is also related to Apple's failure to make portals.

Roland, who also understood the reasoning, showed a wry smile, glanced at the people around him, and shrugged: "If it is said that I sold Yahoo shares because I just like Marvel, would you believe it?"

"When I invested in Yahoo, I felt that Yahoo had an extremely broad financial prospect. After the stock price soared, I cashed out and bought Marvel, which I have liked for many years, and now, it happened to be a coincidence..."

As soon as these words came out, the other four showed helpless smiles again.

Roland, will you die if you don't pretend to beep?

Found a trend of the times, but ended up using it to exchange for a worthless comic company?

Aren't you mentally ill?

And Roland is really helpless, just like investing in Apple just for Pixar, his original idea was as simple as that!

Why is it so difficult to tell the truth these days!

I really want to talk to you all!

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Okay, we believe it." Seeing that Roland refused to tell the truth, Bill Gates didn't force it either.

Because of Jobs' temptation before, he was already very satisfied, but now...

He has other topics that he can chat with everyone.

"Roland, you said before that you and Steven both like games, but because of Nintendo, after founding the company, the research and development direction was personal computers, but I found that your Blizzard Entertainment is developing "Warcraft", At the same time as "Diablo", a PS game console game was also developed, just like the movie, called "Spider-Man"..."

"Before, I also chatted with people from EA, and they said that the game "Spider-Man" sold very well. The point is, its appearance also drove the sales of Sony PS game consoles, which at least helped to stretch the sales of 400,000 yuan. Sales."

"Why, are you also interested in the host?"

"Steven's "Jurassic Park" was just commissioned to Sony, and you ended up doing it yourself."

"Do you think Sony's console project idea is very promising?"

As soon as these words came out, they scratched everyone's hearts like a cat's claw.

Jobs felt that Bill Gates was talking about Microsoft’s future projects, Spielberg really liked games, Paul Allen knew that his friend was testing Roland, and Roland himself—

He was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Sony's project idea is very promising?"

"I didn't work with Sony on the console."

“I just don’t want the profits of the game to be embezzled by Sony, so I made it myself and let it sell it on my behalf.”

"but…"

However, Roland hadn't finished speaking, and he realized that something was wrong in an instant.

etc!

Bill Gates, who controls Microsoft, suddenly talked to me about Sony's console games?

its not right! Isn't this special code their future project?

The one that spent decades and never made a profit—

Xbox!

Grab the grass!

What this guy wants to chat with me now is the future console war?

Stop!

"I just talked with Jobs as if it was the iPod that crushed Sony's traditional CD, and now I talked with Bill Gates about the Xbox that spent money to occupy a place in the host war. Not only that, Sony and Amblin and Warcraft Film and Television Spielberg and I jointly hold 50% of the overseas distribution company's shares, and Sony Pictures Entertainment's flagship products are all in the hands of the Jewish gang...'

'Hold the grass! It turns out that the top two of Sony's six main businesses, the first and the last, are right in front of me? '

'Hold the grass! It seems that you can push it lightly, and then unexpected things will happen? '

Thinking of this, Roland froze his brows as he paused.

He felt that he might have discovered a big thing.

A major event that can wipe Sony's neck with a knife!

Note: ①When Jobs first returned to Apple in 1997, he only had the title of interim CEO, and his annual salary was only US$1, but the things he did were not low-key at all. After the rights, the joint shareholders fired most of the members of the board of directors. (The information comes from page 69 of the fourth edition of "Top of the Tide". At that time, Jobs was very aggressive. He was the kind who would catch and bite. The character in the article was written based on this.) ②Find new ideas for Apple. The growth point of Apple is also true, and the iPod that he led Apple to create directly killed the traditional record industry. Among them, Sony was hit hard by Apple. In the words of Dr. Wu Jun, Jobs crazily worshiped the founder of Sony, and was Akio Morita, known as the sage of management, so Apple's first hit product in the Internet era is the Akio Morita Walkman. To put it bluntly, people's original purpose may be to kill Sony. ③Although the Xbox came out in 2001, when Sega and Sony were fighting, Microsoft supported Sega. After Sega failed, Microsoft wanted to cooperate with Sony, but was rejected. Finally, they started to do it themselves. Steve Ballmer led, but the home console was indeed proposed by Bill Gates at Microsoft.
