Chapter 675: Showdown at the Cocktail Party

A smile appeared on Jobs' emaciated cheeks, watching this handsome and tall young man hugging his wife Helen with a charming smile, and very calmly, shaking hands with presidential candidate O'Black Bull without humility or arrogance.

To be honest, he really admires this young man, if he can stop dealing with Apple stock!

It was the young Andy Smith in front of him, from May last year to the end of August this year, he had bought and sold Apple shares three times, and each time he stepped on the node of Apple's stock price, which led the group of sharks in the board of directors to follow the chaos.

Just like this last time, before entering August, Andy Smith sold off all the Apple shares he held, which caused a stir in the market, and then the subprime mortgage crisis detonated, the U.S. stock market, and the global market turmoil, which caused Apple's stock price to fall from $180 to $150, completely offsetting the advantages brought by the popularity of crazy mobile phones around the world.

No, just now the market has regained a little confidence, this young man has spent 500 million yuan on Apple stocks, there is such a shareholder who likes to make wind and rain and holds a large number of outstanding shares, it is really not a happy thing, this cocktail party invited, in addition to some things to talk to him, there is also to stabilize this young man.

There are many people on Wall Street who are now watching the every move of this genius who makes money as easily as drinking water, and his influence in the financial markets can really leverage the rise and fall of a stock.

"It's a shame you didn't make it to the last dinner you had in DC... O'Black Bull held champagne and greeted Andy with a very friendly smile.

"Hehe, that's nothing, I've seen your propaganda speech, it's great, you're a very charismatic person, next year's election, maybe a special election that many people are looking forward to, a special moment of decision, I'm looking forward to the change in the United States. Andy's tone was very calm, and the words he said did not hide his good impression of the Ao Hei Niu in front of him, which made the Ao Hei Niu and his wife, Jobs and Helen all look surprised.

Especially O'Black Bull, although his face did not change, the flashing light of his eyes and the upturned curvature of the corners of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood, and he could naturally hear the meaning of Andy's words, the young billionaire was very optimistic about him as a black presidential candidate.

He himself knows that he has never been the most promising candidate, and at the beginning of his decision to run, he had very little money, and even fewer patrons, and the campaign office was a backyard and a living room of a certain family. After becoming the sole candidate of the Donkey Party, the situation has changed dramatically, but it is still not comparable to the background of the Elephant Party's rivals.

"I think as part of the United States, we should definitely do our part and try to make this important social change, what do you say, Steve?" Andy asked with a light smile as he looked at Steve Jobs.

"Of course, this is a goal that we should work together and is part of our social responsibility. Jobs smiled and nodded slowly in agreement.

"Thank you, thank you both for your support, we should have a toast for change. "O'Black Bull is in a good mood, and to be honest, he never thought that his chocolate complexion would give him a huge campaign advantage.

After all, the current situation of discrimination in the United States is very serious, although public discrimination will be condemned, and even go against the mainstream, everyone is careful not to touch this high-voltage line of skin color, but the actual situation is still very serious, otherwise there will be no distinction between the white community and the black community.

"Cheers, of course!"

"Cheers!"

The harmonious atmosphere of their small circle has made many people look sideways, and many people are very surprised that Andy Smith, a rich man from the political family of the Elephant Party, will get along so well with the presidential candidate of the Donkey Party, no wonder many people in the Elephant Party will show a crying and laughing expression when mentioning this young billionaire.

Andy and O'Black Bull chatted for a while before ending their conversation, and in the company of Jobs, he exchanged pleasantries with Governor Arnold, who was already slightly old, muscular and with a thick accent.

For Arnold, Andy doesn't have any special feelings, but he complained in his heart about this old boy's aesthetic heavy taste, after all, the kind of maid who can get rid of his mouth, and has an illegitimate child, I really can't understand his heavy taste.

"You seem to be very bullish on Barack. Many people are not optimistic about him, after all, his experience is so lacking that he has not even managed a city. Jobs and Andy asked with a chuckle as they walked slowly to a lounge area in the corner.

"Hehe, isn't there an advisor, a think tank? America needs to be great again, the most perfect embodiment of sovereignty and freedom and unity, and what could be more appropriate than to elect him president, which will create a boom in the free world, don't you think?"

Andy also chuckled and said, omitting the words black people that may appear in the words, after all, his relationship with Jobs is not very harmonious, he doesn't want to leave any tricks because of his quick mouth, he doesn't believe that Jobs has any restraints.

Jobs smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then shook his head slightly and said: "Whoever is elected will inherit a mess, two wars, a planet full of dangers, and a once-in-a-century financial crisis... Tsk, I feel a headache just thinking about it. ”

"Hehe, they'll have a way, won't they? Andy smiled and didn't make any comment.

"Speaking of the financial crisis, you have made a lot of profits!" Speaking of this, Jobs's eyes flashed with a haze, and he said lightly. Turning his head and glancing at the handsome side face of the young man next to him, he sighed again and again, in more than a year, the accumulated wealth has reached 10 billion, which has to be admired and envied.

"Yes, but it's all thanks to my investment company and think tank, after all, I don't know much about finance, and I only provide funds. Andy shrugged and said noncommittally.

"A lot of people in Silicon Valley, investment banks are waiting for the open financing of many of your companies, how about it, have I had the pleasure of participating in Series A financing? ”

I heard that Jobs finally said the goal of attention, and at the same time, it was also determined that Jobs would build an app store for Apple, which is also Apple's consistent style, no matter what money Apple will not let go, not to mention the platform mall like a money printing machine.

"You know, I'm not short of money, Mockingbird Games has a lot of money, and I don't even need to replenish my funds, as for the APP store, hehe, does Apple really want to inject capital?"

Well, there was an idea before, but unfortunately the board didn't approve the plan, and the directors decided that building Apple's own app store was the right choice. Jobs adjusted his sitting position, raised his arm and took a sip of the mineral water in the cup, his eyes watching Andy's expression change.

Andy shook his head and chuckled, and said indifferently: "It seems that we are going to become competitors, but it doesn't matter, as two partners with contract protection, they are both for the better experience of Apple mobile phone users to create high-quality services, and make money together, after all, it is not a monopoly industry, but Apple's official advantages are still obvious, hey, it seems that the development speed of my Free City APP Mall is going to be affected." ”

Jobs's pupils shrank suddenly, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, he heard the meaning of the words in front of him, the appearance of the words contract and monopoly made Jobs feel very unhappy.

Now it seems that the young man in front of him didn't have any good intentions when he signed the contract, and made a lot of default punishment traps, even if a person with great courage like Jobs saw that the number of people who needed compensation had just arrived, let alone the group of vampires on the board of directors, compensation, it was like killing them.

Jobs looked at Andy who was leaning on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed opposite, and finally sighed slightly, he was already sure that Andy Smith seemed to have guessed this day, so at the beginning, he was prepared for the possibility that Apple would one day kick him out and go it alone. The vision, the genus xing, and the far-sightedness shown here are indeed very formidable opponents.

However, it is true that Apple is not afraid of competition, and although Jobs' App Store is still in its infancy, it is enough that the future will be brilliant!
