Rebirth Capital Entertainment

Silicon Valley is simply another name for the high-tech Santa Clara Valley in California. It is not just a city, but is composed of many cities.

And as time goes by, the concept of Silicon Valley in people's consciousness is also changing, but basically, the core of Silicon Valley is the South Bay area, such as San Jose, Sunnyvale, Fremont, Santa Clara, and Coopera

Cities such as Tino belong to Silicon Valley.

The South Bay area is part of the San Francisco metropolitan area, so you can enter Silicon Valley in less than half an hour by car from the San Francisco Airport.

However, after Kaos got off the plane, he did not go directly to Silicon Valley. Instead, he took a car to a dock near the sea, where a beautiful white yacht was parked.

Coming to Silicon Valley to attend Apple's shareholder meeting is a serious matter, but before the meeting, there are indispensable banquets and private contacts between shareholders to prepare and unite for future discussions.

Kaos is no exception. Even because of the shares he holds, there is no need for him to find anyone to contact. Someone has come to him specifically and wants to chat with him in advance.

"Hello, Kaos."

Accompanied by Lin Zhiling, Kaos had just stepped onto the yacht when he saw Jobs coming towards him, smiled, opened his hands and gave himself a hug.

"Hello, it's an honor to meet you."

This unexpected enthusiasm made Kaos stunned for a moment, but he also hugged the other person and said with a smile.

When I hugged a lady before, I felt that Western etiquette was superior to Chinese etiquette, but now that I was hugged by a rough man like Steve Jobs, I suddenly felt that Western etiquette was really barbaric and could not reflect the politeness of etiquette at all.

It's just that Kaos couldn't express his unhappiness, and he still responded to the other party's enthusiasm with a smile.

After they separated, Kaos casually took a look at the yacht at his feet. Of course, this was not Jobs' custom-made private yacht. It would take a few years for real private superyachts to become popular.

Most of today's yachts are still very crude due to the electronic equipment of later generations. Most of the yachts used by rich people are actually of the same standard, with some modifications in some small places.

There wasn't much difference between Jobs's yacht, and it didn't feel very strange. Kaos just glanced at it twice and lost much interest. He followed him to the top of the yacht and sat down.

"You invited me here, maybe you are preparing to go to sea."

Kaos looked at Jobs and asked straight to the point. At the same time, he was also observing Jobs. He was enough to be called a legend in later generations, but his overall appearance looked very slovenly, a common black shirt and light blue jeans.

.

Although he looks like a tech nerd, Kaos will not underestimate Jobs, nor will he think that he only relies on his harshness in technology and does not have any business talents.

"No, the reason why I put the location here is because I went fishing last night."

With his chin raised slightly, Jobs gave people a high-spirited and self-centered feeling. Although such a person at work would give people an annoying feeling, as a business partner, he made people feel reassured.

and convinced.

The tone of Kaos's questions was taken as a matter of course, and he pointed to the fishing rod not far away.

"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. So, is there anything you want to talk about when you invite me here?"

Hearing that Jobs actually took a boat out for night fishing last night, Kaos was a little surprised. After all, Kaos had no such hobbies in his previous life, and he also didn't understand that if he had money, he would not find women to play games, but would fish alone.

people's thoughts.

This made Kaos slightly shake his head and laugh, and then asked casually, wanting to know the purpose of the other party's date with him. As he spoke, he stared straight at Jobs and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you. Kaos will join Apple and become a member of the board of directors after tomorrow's shareholder meeting."

Taking a sip of coffee, Jobs said with a smile, and then continued with a smile: "The other thing is that I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future and that the board of directors will give me more support in my work."

It was a shame for Steve Jobs to be kicked out of Apple before. Although he is back again now, it does not mean that he is very stable at Apple.

At least until he can produce certain results and satisfy the board of directors and all shareholders, his position was not very stable in his previous life, especially last year when Google Music and iPod entered the market early and became a hit.

The first profit point he set for Apple to generate was completely ruined and even suffered a certain loss. He still has unsold iPods belonging to Apple, and the Apple Music online store has

It seems a bit tasteless.

A lot of things just came a step too late, and they were completely lost. Now, because of his drastic reforms after his return, Apple, which had just been a little optimistic, has once again become worse, and he has lost the trust of Apple's board of directors in him. Likewise,

Somewhat reduced.

"Of course there is no problem. I still admire you very much, Steve Jobs. The reason why I chose to buy a large amount of Apple shares is because this company is now dominated by you."

Kaos smiled and readily agreed to the other party's cooperation, but then he frowned again, looking at Jobs with a shrewd look in his eyes and said: "But as far as I know, you still hold an animation studio in your hands.

, I’m afraid this will seriously affect your energy, how about selling it and focusing on presiding over Apple’s corporate affairs from now on?”

"Pixar?"

Originally, Jobs was very happy when he heard that Kaos was pursuing him and expressed his willingness to support him on the board of directors. But as the conversation changed, he frowned and looked at Kaos and asked tentatively.

.

"Yes, to be honest, I am very interested in this company. I didn't know that Mr. Jobs was willing to sell it to me without any hesitation."

Kaos saw Jobs react and directly admitted that he was very interested in acquiring Pixar Animation Studio.

What I just said about worrying about affecting Steve Jobs's energy was a complete joke.

Otherwise, Kaos has so many companies in his hands now, which would have already made him miserable.

"Sorry, I have no plans to sell it right now."

Putting the coffee in his hand to his lips, Jobs shook his head without hesitation and rejected Kaos's proposal.

"Don't you want to hear the price I offer?"

Kaos was a little surprised by Jobs's rejection, and continued to ask with a frown.
