Xiao Yu attended Apple's flagship store in New York.

Unlike previous stores in other regions, Apple has taken this flagship store very seriously, specially invited people to design the exterior of the entire building, and the interior and decoration have also been carefully arranged to make the flagship store reflect the taste of Apple as much as possible.

As a well-known brand in the United States, Apple's flagship store has attracted the attention of countless fans before it opens, and some of them even queue up at the gate of the flagship store in advance, waiting for the opening.

According to the convention, the first customers received at the opening were able to receive some gifts, and these gifts are very unique, belonging to the kind of money that may not be bought, so many fans are very enthusiastic.

"I can't see that Apple's appeal in New York is so great!" Xiao Yu and Steve Jobs looked at the queue outside the flagship store and smiled in surprise and delight, reminding him of the grand opening of Apple stores in China in the next few years.

I still remember that there was a famous fan who queued up three days and three nights in advance to become a customer of Yanjing's first Apple store, and took a photo of himself and put it on the Internet, but was criticized as an idiot and a fool, which made Xiao Yu feel very sad.

If you look at it from another angle, that customer is a bit like the fans who are queuing up to buy tickets at the stadium ticket office, and some of them are also queuing in advance, are they also fools?

"Did you see that person?" Jobs pointed to one of them, who was doing something with a big cell phone.

Xiao Yu nodded, this person was wearing a suit, but his image was a little lazy and unkempt.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's from Wall Street, and that guy ......" Jobs pointed out a few more at once, and then laughed, "I dare say more than half of them are coming for you." ”

"Me?" Xiao Yu couldn't believe it.

"Of course, you don't know? They even set up your fan site online, and you're a fan of a lot of venture capitalists, but you usually stay in the UK and have very little news, so it's rare for you to appear in New York this time, and they naturally want to come to see you! ”

There was a little more cunning in Jobs's smile, and it is not difficult to imagine that this must have been deliberately spread by him.

Xiao Yu stared at Jobs and smiled bitterly, he really had no way to take this old naughty boy, but he didn't care, anyway, as long as Apple benefited, he would also benefit, so what did it matter?

From the moment I decided to come to the United States, Xiao Yu was already prepared for the artificial knife and I was mentally prepared for the fish and meat.

"Don't look reluctant, you're their idol, you have to smile a little!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Jobs patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder and smiled, he was very proud of his decision.

"I like to be cool!" Xiao Yu pouted.

Jobs laughed!

The two walked out of the gate of the store side by side, and the scene was immediately in an uproar.

From Xiao Yu's investment in Apple to the present, almost no one has seen Xiao Yu and Jobs appear in public at the same time, but when they were interviewed alone, Jobs praised his good friend many times, and Xiao Yu was the same, which made many people very interested in knowing what the two would be like together.

The result is obvious, sarcasm!

Xiao Yu seemed to be unable to bear to be sold by Jobs, after he cut the ribbon, when he was interviewed by reporters, he created problems for Jobs again and again, although the latter also resolved them one by one, but he was also scared out of a cold sweat by Xiao Yu from time to time, and then fought back unscrupulously, sarcastically mocking Xiao Yu in turn.

The two unscrupulously laughed at each other, which made the atmosphere of the scene extremely lively, but it also confirmed one thing to everyone, the friendship between them is indeed extraordinary, otherwise, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to be like them.

After the opening ribbon cutting, Xiao Yu and Jobs went to the store to help, and the first ten customers who bought Apple products could get the request to take pictures with Xiao Yu and Jobs, which made many customers who opened the store secretly regret it.

I should have come and queued up earlier!

After all this, Apple's flagship store has also launched more interaction with fans, which further exaggerates the atmosphere of pursuing technology applications in the flagship store, and even some activities specially launched by Apple to encourage customers to be creative.

"Xiao Yu, how is the construction progress of your stadium?" Jobs asked with concern.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought of the stadium, "According to the progress of the project, it can be completed in one and a half years, and it will be put into use in two years, don't worry, Steve, it will not delay the company's development of the European market." ”

For Xiao Yu, Jobs trusted, he had seen the design drawings of Apple's flagship store and the design of the Red Rebels Stadium transmitted by the company that served the stadium's operation, and he could only say that it was almost an architectural art.

Apple's store in front of the Red Rebels Stadium is arranged in the basement, the area is not small, but the entrance is on the square in front of the stadium, on which is a very exquisite glass frame design designed by Xiao Yu himself, the spiral staircase spirals downward, coupled with the contrast of the lights inside, the whole shape is like a crystal clear Apple logo, Jobs has to sigh, that is really great.

In the past, when Lamborghini launched the Red Rebel sports car in North America, Jobs only supported it out of a cheering mentality, but when he saw the sports car, he had to be convinced by Xiao Yu's design, and immediately paid for one, and then he knew that this limited edition sports car set off a huge rush of buying around the world.

And Xiao Yu's Apple store at the Red Rebels Stadium, Jobs was also full of praise, and after negotiation, it was unanimously decided to operate it into the largest and most complete flagship store in Europe.

In addition to Apple, the Red Rebels Stadium is also surrounded by famous brands, including Audi, Adidas, Vodafone and other companies and brands that will open flagship stores there, and the new Manchester United is also looking for partners around the area.

As Xiao Yu said to Jobs before, it will become another high-profile focus in Manchester, especially when the surrounding land is driven as a whole, and that piece may become the most prosperous area of Manchester in the future.

Thinking of this, Jobs had to admire Xiao Yu's ability, once he decided to run something, he was always able to make amazing masterpieces, such as investment, football, and architecture.

"Now that the outside world is interested in the value of several companies in your hands, do you plan to transfer some of your shares, or go public?" Jobs asked with concern.

Xiao Yu smiled, "It's not time yet, Steve, at present, the blog company is developing a new type of core technology called Twitter, once this service is launched, I believe it will change the world's Internet information exchange model, and the social service website under its umbrella has not enough users at present, and there is still a lot of potential." ”

"What about video-sharing sites? I've heard that Google is planning to buy him! ”

"It's not time yet!" Xiao Yu pretended to smile mysteriously.

In his calculations, going public is inevitable, and it is impossible to become bigger and stronger if you run an Internet service company in the United States without going public, and the reason why Xiao Yu has been dragging it out is to obtain higher value.

It's not that he cares about the money very much, in fact, the money is just some data for him, he cares more about recognition, just like players ask for higher salaries, they regard salaries and transfer fees as a recognition of their own strength, while Xiao Yu regards the value of the company as a recognition of himself.

Jobs has no way to take Xiao Yu, just the few companies he holds in hand, if they are sold out, the market value will be at least billions of dollars, but he still doesn't care about the old gods, and he soaks in football all day long, sometimes even Jobs can't tell whether Xiao Yu in football is more outstanding? Or Xiao Yu of the United States is better.

Or both are equally brilliant!

…………

came to the United States and participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Apple's flagship store, Xiao Yu had to go to Hollywood.

Since investing in DreamWorks with George Clooney and others, Xiao Yuke has never been here, which makes George Clooney and Brad Pitt and others complain a lot, thinking that he is a hands-off shopkeeper.

Knowing that Xiao Yu had arrived in Hollywood, a group of friends immediately heard the news, some of them were filming, and some were on vacation, but they all rushed back, so everyone got together to chat and talk, talking about the situation in DreamWorks and the recent situation in Hollywood.

Xiao Yu is still the same old saying, he thinks that animation, comic book heroes and other themes will become a new source of movie creativity, and under his proposal, DreamWorks has bought the rights to [Transformers], [Iron Man], and [The Chronicles of Narnia].

And this time, Xiao Yu proposed that DreamWorks contact the famous game manufacturer Blizzard, and he felt that Blizzard's classic game [Warcraft] was very suitable for development into a fantasy epic movie similar to "The Lord of the Rings".

After Xiao Yu got Blizzard's positive feedback information, Xiao Yu thought that the current [World of Warcraft], an online game that made Blizzard like a sky, had not yet appeared, and Blizzard's market value was not very high at this time, so he immediately asked John David to evaluate it, and immediately began to operate the matter of buying Blizzard.

Blizzard has always faced financial pressure from the parent company, and if it can be acquired by Xiao Yu and get a relaxed creative environment, it is also a very happy thing for them, so they have given enough support for the acquisition.

Soon, the acquisition of Blizzard came to an end, and Xiao Yu planned to make Blizzard a comprehensive surname game company integrating game development, publishing, and online game operation, and then let them run it independently.

After acquiring Blizzard, DreamWorks naturally got the copyright of the movie version of [World of Warcraft], and the two sides negotiated an acceptable sharing plan.

In addition to [World of Warcraft], Spielberg also planned to shoot a World War II-era film, which reminded Xiao Yu of the disaster that China suffered during World War II.

Xiao Yu didn't refuse, but he obviously felt the kind of "ill-intentioned" eyes that Clooney and others imposed on him, and knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time.

That night, Xiao Yu boarded the plane back to Manchester.
