Chapter 254: Arrangements for the funeral

In a private ward at San Francisco General Hospital, Jobs opened his eyes tiredly, frowned unnaturally as he looked at the ward environment.

Even though the ward in front of you covers an area of ​​no less than a hundred square meters, the overall decoration is very luxurious. At the same time, it seems that the patient's feelings have been taken into consideration. It is like a home environment, giving it a warm atmosphere.

But in essence, this is still a hospital, which Jobs hated.

But now, with his body, he cannot leave here. In order to survive for a while, he can only endure it for a while.

As the wife of Jobs, Laurenna knew too much about the other person's thoughts and distrust of the hospital. She reached out and held Jobs's palm and said, "Be patient, Dr. Charles said that your recent

His condition is still very good and I believe he will be discharged from the hospital soon."

"Haha... don't worry, the current situation is that I don't want to be patient, so what can I do?"

Jobs just smiled bitterly at his wife's relief, and then nodded in response to reassure her.

As for the claim that he would be discharged from the hospital soon, Jobs didn't believe it at all. After all, he knew his own body best.

There's really no need to argue with your wife over this, it's better to just pretend to be stupid.

"Deng Deng..."

There were several slight knocks on the door, and then Jobs's secretary opened the door and walked in. After bowing respectfully to him, he said, "Mr. Kaos is here."

"Oh, he's here, please come in."

When Jobs heard his secretary's words, he looked at him and paused for a moment, concentrating a little. Then he relaxed again, lay on the bed nonchalantly, and gave instructions to his secretary.

After receiving the order, Kaos quickly walked in with Lin Zhiling. Although it was not suitable, there were still two bodyguards. They followed him into the ward and stood there. As for the corridors and other places outside the ward, how many people were there?

People are even more unknown.

Regarding this situation, after Jobs glanced at it, he chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Kaos would be so concerned about his own safety at such a young age."

"There is no way. The Jones family is still too young, and they basically rely on me alone to support them. Naturally, they have to be more careful."

Kaos could hear Jobs's sarcasm. Although bodyguards were very common in upper class society, it was indeed unusual for him to visit the hospital with so many people.

However, Kaos didn't care about this. Instead, he took the initiative to explain, but such an explanation was obviously unable to convince the other party.

But it is indeed a fact. Compared with those wealthy families, the biggest difference is that there are too few talents in their own families.

If something happens to the person who is in charge of the family, the family may disappear, and there will be no progress for at least several decades. He is about to become the most obvious case.

But for a family that has been developing for hundreds of years, such a situation will not happen. There may be some turmoil, but a successor will soon appear to maintain the family's power.

"Yes, you should really pay more attention to your own safety."

When Jobs heard Kaos's words, he sighed with a somewhat lost expression. He seemed to agree with Kaos's words, and then he chuckled and said again: "You can guess why I invited you here.

why?"

Following Jobs' words, Laurenna, who was sitting on the other side, frowned slightly and opened her mouth to say something. In the end, she didn't speak, but her eyes were focused on Kaos.

"I really can't guess this. After all, the relationship between us doesn't seem to be very good."

Knocking his knee with his hand, Kaos shrugged his shoulders, looked at Jobs's somewhat weak expression, and gave a helpless answer after thinking for a moment.

Kaos really didn't know the other party's purpose for calling him here. After all, since the first time he attended Apple's board of directors and the two parties broke up on bad terms, Kaos has not appeared again since then.

I have never talked to Steve Jobs.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Yu naturally didn't know the other party's purpose, and even though he had some guesses, it was not easy to answer Jobs, so he just pretended to be confused.

"As for your previous proposal to acquire Apple, I have recently talked with several of the directors. Now that my health is not good, I am afraid that I will not have much time for management in the future, so I invited you here to talk about it.

this matter."

Jobs said softly, but when it fell into Kaos's ears, he was quite surprised.

But compared to this, Kaos was even more surprised by what he said next. After Jobs explained Apple, he continued: "Do you still have interest in Pixar animation? If so,

I also want to sell it to you at once."

Kaos looked at Jobs. He was no longer arranging his future work. Instead, he seemed to be retiring and wanted to arrange his own funeral affairs at once.

By making such an arrangement, Jobs had obviously determined his physical condition and was clearly planning the next things.

"Ha, of course I'm interested. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good price."

Although he was not sure whether the other party suspected him, Kaos had no reason not to eat the fat meat he had obtained.

He had previously planned to wait until Jobs passed away before buying it from his wife and daughter. Now that he was willing to give it to himself earlier, Kaos naturally agreed with joy.

.....................................

After everything was settled, Laurenna watched Kaos leave and said, "Are you really going to sell the company to him?"

"Then what can I do? If I don't sell it, you won't be able to manage the company with your ability after I pass away."

Jobs responded with a wry smile to Laurenna's dissatisfaction, and his eyes became a little deeper again.

Naturally, he had some awareness that there was something wrong with the medicine he was taking, but just when he was about to take action, his doctor Glassman died in a car accident.

Although there were some clues afterwards, it was impossible to know who was behind the scenes.

Jobs was not without doubts about Kaos, but as his health deteriorated rapidly, he no longer had time to investigate too much. He did not even dare to tell his wife Laurenna for fear of causing trouble to her.

.

Although he is considered a billionaire, compared with those real wealthy plutocrats, the difference is still too big.

Even before he leaves this world, the career he has worked hard for can only be handed over to his past opponents.

Nowadays, Apple itself is in a turbulent period. In the past, he turned the tide, but it was only possible to stabilize the situation. Now without his management, I am afraid it will not know where it will go in the future.

As for Pixar animation, although it has performed well and has even begun to make profits in recent years, it is not stable. After all, the other party's entire distribution and production still rely on the support of Disney.

It can be said that these two companies are not that stable. If he can continue to support it for four or five years, then there may be a turnaround, and then the situation of the two companies can be maintained by hiring professional managers.

But now it's not possible. Although Kaos mentioned it last time and hasn't spoken since being rejected by him, Jobs knew that the other party had been eyeing him.

And now that he is the one to sell the company, the price can be much higher. Otherwise, after he dies and the other party uses commercial means to force it, his wife Laurenna will have no choice but to sell the company at a low price.
