Obviously, Jobs was still resentful of the last time Apple stock was sniped.%〗

"I didn't expect you to cooperate with those people and seek skin with tigers."

Liu Chenyi also showed great sincerity and said, "Mr. Jobs, I was forced to do so. Please believe that I have always wanted to cooperate with you, but you ignore my sincerity."

"Do you want to take over Apple and become a major shareholder?" Jobs immediately understood Liu Chen's intention. He is a man who is very slight in money but has a strong desire to control himself. He can tolerate no shares in Apple, but he cannot tolerate opposition in Apple.

"In fact, it's scattered and I already own a lot of shares in Apple." Liu Chen said with a smile.

"How much money do you want to invest and how many shares do you get?" Jobs asked in a deep voice, full of vigilance.

"Plus with the exclusive license of all patented technologies for the ipod-mini and smart mobile terminals in exchange for a 4% stake, I want you to convince those stubborn old guys, of course, in return, I will always support you as Apple's eO and not interfere in any management matters."

Jobs' eyes lit up, and then he said with some concern: "It may be difficult to get those guys who fall into the eyes of money to transfer 4% of their shares. No one knows whether your technology is useful or not."

Liu Chen smiled and said, "Can the ipod incident still explain the problem? If the public knew that the smart mobile terminals developed by Apple also involved a large amount of infringement, the stock price would probably fall to a historical low. At that time, it would not be difficult for me to buy 4% of the stocks myself."

Jobs said bluntly: "If that's the case, is Apple's stock worth buying?"

Very sharp and to the point.

If Apple cannot develop smart mobile terminals such as iPhones and iPads, it is just music players, and its potential has come to an end, and it is indeed not worth buying by Liu Chen.

"If that's the case, I believe there are many financial tycoons who want to take action. The competition will definitely be very fierce at that time, and you still cannot achieve your goal." Jobs said the truth.

Liu Chen did not refute and agreed: "Mr. Jobs was very right. I definitely couldn't compete with these people, but Apple was destined to be unable to become the greatest company in the world through smart mobile terminals. The company founded by Mr. Jobs is likely to become a toy for financiers. Haha, it is purely used to seek benefits and become a mediocre company."

This obviously hit Jobs' weakness. After being expelled from Apple, Jobs started his second business and achieved remarkable results. The reason why he was willing to return to Apple this time was to turn the company he created into the world's greatest company. It can be said that this is the deep desire of Jobs. After listening to Liu Chen's analysis, he didn't understand that it was indeed the case. He gave up bargaining and said directly: "Patent technology, those guys who only know how to count money don't understand what patent technology. Your conditions are still a bit harsh. What else do you have?"

Since Jobs gave up the bargaining, Liu Chen also said honestly: "In addition, I have many Chinese trademarks. To be honest, I have mastered the technology of producing smart mobile terminals. The reason why I did not produce it myself and went to Apple for a long time is just one reason."

"Because we have developed it? Pick up ready-made?"

"You are wrong, Mr. Jobs, technical problems are not a problem for me. The main reason is that you are at Apple. I will invite you here. If you cannot reach a cooperation this time, I would like to ask Mr. Jobs to join my company and sell smart mobile terminals to every corner of the world to become products leading fashion and life." Liu Chen said with great force.

Liu Chen has always been hesitant. If there were no Jobs and Apple only had smart mobile terminals, could Apple become the world's largest company with market value?

Jobs was a little moved, but then sighed and said, "The reason I returned to Apple is because she is Apple. It is impossible for me to come out to cooperate with you. Apple is my dream in this life."

Liu Chen's face immediately looked a little bad.

He left with a sleeve, and it was obvious that the negotiation failed again.

Liu Chen was also extremely depressed. He really wanted to cooperate with Jobs to push Apple to an unprecedented level as soon as possible. However, Jobs was too cautious and had a tough temper, so he was really not a suitable negotiator.

If you want to develop in a leap, Apple and B are not to be missed.

Just when Liu Chen was about to return to China, he unexpectedly received a call from Jobs, and the place where he made an appointment was not Apple's headquarters, but his home.

Jobs moved here since the mid-1990s.

Liu Chen has always believed that one of the best ways to understand a person, especially his outlook on life and values, is to understand his living space.

Jobs made the world fascinated because he not only changed the way of human life, but also changed people's vision of knowing the world, but also redefined many industries in today's world.

Many people only think that Jobs is a successful businessman, or an amazing entrepreneur, who can make money. This is a very one-sided understanding.

Jobs was waiting for Liu Chen at his doorstep.

The front door, walls and floor are made of ordinary bricks.

To ensure that, several pots of evergreen trees were placed at the door to cover it, which looked beautiful and polite compared to building a cold high wall.

There is no word at the door: no visit, or any bodyguards stand guard.

The roof is blue, and the red roof across the street seems to be more generous than the Jobs' home.

The neighbor next to Jobs's house is a deep mansion with neat and beautiful trees, flowers and plants. Even the bricks that pave the walls and roads are better than Zhou Zheng of the Jobs's house.

In this simple town, the Jobs's family is quite ordinary, but it is also the most characteristic, because the gardens of the Jobs's family are planted with apple trees.

Liu Chen glanced at it and saw a few fruits hanging on the tree.

Jobs and his wife welcomed Liu Chen. This was a very beautiful and elegant woman. Liu Chen didn't understand Jobs' intention, but he accepted it happily.

"Mr. Liu, welcome you to your home as a guest." Laurenna said with a smile.

Liu Chen also greeted with a smile.

Jobs has always given the public the impression that he is proud, selfish and unkind. He refuses to accept his biological daughter and refuses any woman to dominate his emotions. Because of his stubbornness, he has lost the Apple company he has worked hard to run.

Life in the 1980s was in a mess due to emotional problems, until I met the young and beautiful Laurenna at the age of 39.

Liu Chen also observed this beautiful and wise woman.

Jobs invited Liu Chen into the home.

Liu Chen noticed that the exterior wall of their master bedroom was made of bricks removed from other places, which looked broken and untidy, with a sense of vicissitudes of time and age.

Just looking at this wall, you will feel like you have come to a rural area in China.

When Jobs saw Liu Chen paying attention to the wall, he explained: "I really appreciate the artistic taste of the architects who built this house."

Liu Chen nodded and said yes.

The windows in the master bedroom are extremely simple and simple, without any extra decoration, and the curtains are white tones, so there is no luxury.

The side doors, the door panels are made of ordinary logs, the walls are made of broken bricks, and the corridors are also paved with untidy broken bricks, making it hard to imagine that one of the richest people in the world live here.

The back door is even lower and old.

In the yard, there is an iron structure object with a special shape, which should mean the fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations: two vertical iron rods form a cross, which symbolizes Western Christian civilization, and the smooth triangle inlaid on the iron pillars may represent the hierarchy of the pagoda.

Jobs was observing Liu Chen, and saw that he was watching everywhere with relish and did not disturb him. At this time, he said: "I think that only by combining Eastern and Western civilizations and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses can we stimulate creativity."

Liu Chen nodded without saying a word. He agreed with Jobs's living philosophy. Naturally and simply, this is the true meaning of life.

Jobs' personality and uniqueness can be seen from his residence.

Then, Jobs invited Liu Chen to take care of the vegetable garden together, and Liu Chen happily accepted it.

It is hard to imagine that the two big guys are working very enthusiastically in the vegetable garden.

Jobs said meaningfully: "I didn't expect you to do farm work."

Liu Chen disagreed, "Mr. Jobs, don't forget that what we in China lack the most is farmers. My family has always had a vegetable garden and often helps my mother take care of it. I didn't expect that you can grow vegetables as well."

"I like plants that grow naturally, and don't like animals that feed on other animals. Eating on other animals will eventually become food for humans."

Liu Chen smiled and said, "I can't see this point, and I can't enjoy it every day."

"It's just a personal choice." Jobs didn't care and continued: "I have been thinking for the past six months. At the beginning of the year, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The doctor announced that he only had 3 to 6 months of life."

Liu Chen was shocked. Sure enough, what should come has come. The two met many times this year, but they didn't feel anything strange about Jobs. Liu Chen thought the trajectory of this world had changed.

"But half a year later, I miraculously recovered. Being able to pass by death was all the help of my wife. During my cancer, Laurenna stayed by my side and encouraged me to actively overcome the disease every day."

Liu Chen was silent.

Jobs continued: "Whether in life or career, Laurenna's support for me is as firm as ever. Without her, I wouldn't know if I could live until now. As early as more than ten years ago, I would have no idea what the meaning of life is."

The two worked together and said a few words from time to time.

Liu Chen couldn't help but say: "Mr. Jobs should take care of himself more to prevent the recurrence of the disease."

Jobs smiled relaxedly, "You may not know that since I was 6 years old, I have been thinking about death every day, and that has nothing to bothered me."

Liu Chen no longer said that Jobs is obviously a person with a strong worldview and belief, so don't try to convince such a person.

Everything in Jobs' home is simple, compact, pragmatic and comfortable.

The couple planted 6 acres of flowers and plants around the house and opened a small vegetable garden.

Laurenna brought apple juice to the two of them.

Apple is Jobs’ favorite food, and Liu Chen also likes it very much.

It was a great time to visit, and there was no talk of anything about work.

Liu Chen's understanding of Jobs is also more three-dimensional. He admires this paranoid genius and is also very happy that he can gain a peaceful life in middle age.

The next day, Jobs called Liu Chen again and made an appointment to meet again at Apple's headquarters.

After three consecutive days, we met every day. This was probably the first and only time in Jobs' life. Cook felt it was incredible. He couldn't guess what the boss wanted to do.

Liu Chen came again the day before yesterday, and this time Cook was waiting there.

The girl at the front desk was surprised to see the young man who arrived three days ago walking into EO's office. Mr. Jobs really got to meet him.

"I think I'd try my best to convince those stubborn guys to give you the shares you want. Haha, if I had shares myself, I would be willing to give them all. Unfortunately, my shares were sold long ago. Anyway, I wouldn't be a slave to money." Jobs said with a smile.

Liu Chen also understood that Jobs joked about his pursuit of money. Both of them understood how many times the market value of Apple would increase once the smart mobile terminal was successfully listed. How huge is this money. Liu Chen said uneasy: "Then I will wait for the good news from Mr. Jobs, and I believe it must be good news."

After talking about the main business, Jobs relaxed a lot and smiled and said, "Are you a student or a businessman?"

"In fact, technology, art, and business are all connected. They do things that most people cannot do in a certain field. There are not many people in this world who are willing to use their brains. Most of them passively accept what the world gives. What they can think of is to live a more relaxed life, but the result may be contrary to their wishes. The more they want to be relaxed, the more they are, the more they are, the more they are."

Jobs didn't expect that Liu Chen would talk about philosophy at once and nodded, "That's true. I figured this out after studying in college for a year. At that time, I thought about what kind of career a young man should pursue, and how I should spend my life. Although I was not very clear at the time, the only thing that is certain is that I must not consume it in the boring homework assigned by the teacher or the meaningless tasks assigned by the boss. I must do some work that I am really interested in but no one does. In many speeches, young people always like to ask me what kind of job I should engage in, and my answer is the same."

Liu Chen was very interested in what kind of answer Jobs would give, and said curiously: "What kind of job is it?"

"I would say: The most important job that young people should do is to have upward steps and a sky that can be looked up, and how to climb up is as clear and objective as possible, and then strive for it. Although it may not be as high as in the end, it may even take a year of hard work just like those who have followed the trend from the beginning, but it has to work a lot, but has a life of struggle, instead of seeing at a glance, the work and life in fifty years later, mechanically consuming life. When you close your eyes and go to another world, it must be very sad. What flashes before you must be the most primitive dream of childhood, and you must regret it at that moment and want to start over, but reality is still to live first."

Liu Chen also agreed, saying, "If you go to a kindergarten to ask those children what dreams they have and what they want to do in the future, everyone will chatter excitedly and describe a bizarre situation to you. However, when you go to elementary school to ask those children, probably only some children who have enough energy to learn still have dreams, and other children are just learning mechanically. The biggest willingness is probably to take the exam better. Parents should not scold them, and it is best to be able to get into a key junior high school. When you go to junior high school and high school, fewer and fewer people have dreams until you graduate and enter society to support yourself. Dreams have become a luxury of self-deprecating. The reality that a person needs to accept and face in his life is probably the process of continuous destruction of dreams and imagination. I especially want to create a school where everything is free in this school. The only thing to do is to find your interests and pursuits, and then realize it. That's all, I really want to see what will happen in ten or twenty years."
