Wall Street Legend

How should I put it? Jobs's personality was a bit abnormal and he was an out-and-out workaholic.

He doesn’t have many friends either in the company or in life, and Larry Ellison is one of them. The two live close to each other, and they often meet up for morning jogs. As the founder of Oracle, Ellison Mr. Wang holds a lot of shares and is currently worth between 20 and 30 billion U.S. dollars. This figure was after the stock market crash. It was even more at the beginning of the century.

It is normal for such a person to be arrogant, but when they met, he joked about Ye Dongqing's skin color, saying that he was "an alternative among the Chinese", mainly referring to Ye Dongqing's rich nightlife. After all, the impression of Chinese Americans in the minds of Californians is It's strange, solitary, and even a little mysterious. There doesn't seem to be anything interesting except for Chinese food and a dry cleaner.

I knew beforehand that Ellison was a complete bastard and his expectations were too low, so I couldn't say I was disgusted. I just didn't like people like him. As the host, I still treated him politely and then said The conversation shifted to Jobs.

Jobs was diagnosed with an illness recently and was holding only a glass of watermelon juice in his hand. He told Ye Dongqing: "Perhaps I can no longer manage Apple. I am currently considering whether I should step down from my position as an executive and rest in peace." For a while, the doctor told me that I might only have about half a year to live, and my wife even approved that I hook up with a model tonight, but if I really did that, I might not even live for half a year."

It seems that the relationship is really close. It seems that this is the first time that Ye Dongqing has heard him joking like this. Ellison already knew the news and stood beside him and said: "I know your character, maybe because of your company's secret project , maybe even until the end, who wants to lie at home and go see God in boredom?

If I get sick, I will change to a beautiful woman every day until I spend all my money and die. This is not easy at all. Sorry, I know your money can easily be spent, after all...you know. "

This was mocking Jobs for being "poor", but it succeeded in making Jobs laugh. Ye Dongqing couldn't judge the relationship between the two. After all, he didn't know much about it, but it was really difficult to understand how the two could get together. Mostly because Maybe it's because both of them are straight-tempered. As long as they understand each other as people, it will be easier to get along with each other.

Just at the end of last month, Ye Dongqing tried to get his two spokespersons on Apple's board of directors to pass a high-level physical examination project. This was because he knew that according to the timeline of his previous life, Jobs was now sick. He hoped to let Jobs know that he was sick as soon as possible and seize the time to receive timely treatment to avoid delaying the best opportunity for treatment like in his previous life.

Tamsui Investment Group holds a lot of shares in Apple, already as high as 35.0%. Without the help of Jobs, it means that Ye Dongqing may have to personally play in order for Apple to continue to develop along the expected path. If it goes on, not to mention that he prefers Jobs, he may be a jerk to his subordinates, but for shareholders, having his help will definitely save them a lot of worry.

In his previous life, during a routine physical examination, Jobs was found to have a tumor in the pancreas. The average life expectancy after a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is only about half a year, so the doctor has informed him to prepare for his funeral, just like this time, but Ye Dongqing knew that this was a curable tumor that progressed slowly and could be removed through surgery. It could be said to be a blessing among misfortunes.

Unfortunately, as a Buddhist and vegetarian, Jobs opposed mainstream medicine. He refused surgery and expected to cure the tumor through drugs or diet therapy. The effect was not very satisfactory. After wasting precious time, He eventually had surgery, but by then he had missed the best time for treatment.

Not wanting the last tragedy to happen again this time, Ye Dongqing held the wine glass and asked tentatively: "I'm sorry for what happened to you, Mr. Jobs.

But what would you do if a doctor told you there was a cure for evil? I mean if it could be surgically removed or something, that would be great, right? "

"Of course, I just had a gastroscopy vital test, and the results will be out tomorrow. I didn't plan to come today, but my wife wants me to go out and relax. She and her friends also have a party, which is good for both of us. This is a bit of a blow. Big." At only forty-nine years old, Jobs still couldn't accept the fact that he was about to die. After speaking, he took a deep breath and continued: "I often work overtime. This is probably why my health has been poor. Leo, I suggest You think about the next CEO, I prefer Tim Cook, he knows all my plans, and he should be able to manage this company well with your help."

"I will consider him, but you really should take a good rest recently. It is best to overcome the disease. Our plan has just begun, and you don't want to leave without waiting for them, right?"

Sorry to him, I can only make myself feel better, so Ye Dongqing is talking to Jobs in a normal tone. He hopes to get all the treatment progress and give the most correct advice.

The news of Jobs's illness has not yet been announced to the public. Only a very few company executives, including Ye Dongqing, know that the candidate for the interim CEO will be determined soon. He usually has more contact with Mr. Tim Cook and is temporarily listed as the No. 1 candidate. One candidate.

"It's not clear yet. We won't know what the situation is until tomorrow. Don't focus on me. You are the star of the party today. You should be happy on your birthday." Jobs patted him on the shoulder and said, and a guest happened to come over. After saying hello, Ye Dongqing left temporarily and continued to entertain other guests.

The yacht sets sail and will arrive in San Francisco tonight. Some of the guests who are going back tomorrow will disembark there, and the rest will continue to follow the yacht back. If it's too slow, you can also take a car back from San Francisco directly. It won't take too long, and There's enough to keep everyone entertained until dawn, if you like.

It might rain tonight, but planes carried out artificial rainfall near San Jose, causing the dark clouds to stop there. It would have cost more than a million dollars in total, but at least it didn't rain at the moment, otherwise tonight's party would be It was all destroyed.

As an organizer, how could Ye Dongqing not give a speech? At this moment, he took the microphone from Assistant William and said with a smile: "There are no rules at the party tonight. I just hope that everyone will eat and drink well. Thank you very much for coming from all over the United States. Come to my 20th birthday party, I hope this year can also have a happy ending, both business and emotional, by the way, if anyone wants to vomit, please just lie down by the railing, the owner of this boat Don’t want anyone throwing up on the boat.”

Not far away, little Edward was satisfied. This was what he forced Ye Dongqing to say, which was one of the prerequisites for borrowing the boat...
