Coquettish Rebirth

At this time, Apple and Motorola are really dumb and can't tell the pain of eating coptis!They want to stop the loss quickly, but after someone finds out about the stop loss, they can’t sell it. Doesn’t this make them uncomfortable?Fortunately, Apple said that they made a "technical investment" and just put one of their own software stores in Motorola's mobile phone. What Apple really paid was not much, at most it was the salary and time cost of some personnel. .But Motorola is miserable!The hardware cost of this mobile phone is all paid by them!Now that the mobile phone can't be sold, isn't the mobile phone they have already produced blind?Isn't that almost all wasted?

So under such a situation, Apple's stock price did not drop too much, but Motorola's stock price dropped, which is really amazing!Under such a situation, Motorola's CEO and other executives really feel like crying!Why did Motorola's CEO executives find Apple to cooperate?It is to calm the anger of the board of directors, and to increase the stock price as soon as possible!In order to increase the stock price as soon as possible, they have even announced in advance that the mobile phone will be released in November in Europe without saying hello to Apple!The results of it?The stock price hadn't risen for two days before encountering such an incident, and it completely became the rhythm of lifting a rock and hitting one's own foot!

For many years, the successive CEOs of Motorola have been trying to change the company's long-term monotonous corporate culture, trying to build Motorola into the world's top consumer electronics giant.This task naturally fell on the current Motorola ceo Edward's head.Therefore, Edward's ultimate task is to regain the crown of "the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer".However, after finally producing a mobile phone with 2004 million sales in 1.3, Motorola did not have any outstanding performance. The stock has been falling all the way, and now it has reached the point of falling sharply. Edward's position as CEO is a bit precarious!This CEO has really been "summoned" by the board of directors many times!

Motorola became sad at this time, while Apple did not receive much impact. Although their stock prices also dropped a little, the decline was not much.Moreover, under the leadership of Jobs, the entire Apple Company has almost ignored the cooperation project with Motorola. The manpower and material resources of the mobile phone department have basically been concentrated in the field of independent system and mobile phone research and development!To be honest, after the death of the previous words, this Apple has really started to secretly prepare to develop a system called iphone-os. Such a system is such a thing that was later renamed ios in history.However, the current predecessor of ios is not completely developed. If we want to talk about the progress, they are only at the level of the alpha version now!

The so-called alpha version is that even the basic functions are not fully built, let alone a lot of bugs.Software at such a stage cannot be launched at all, and it shouldn't even be called "public beta" by consumers.Because such an immature version was exposed too early, it can only disappoint consumers greatly, and then cause the whole brand to be affected a bit!In such an alpha version of ios, it is normal to take a year and a half to develop it into a version that can be launched, but now Jobs has issued a death order, and it must be completed within a year no matter what. It will be completed within half a year.Such a request would make Apple's employees die!Because everyone is afraid of Jobs to death!If the task cannot be completed and the node cannot be reached, this Jobs will really call everyone to the office and scold them severely. The developers who scolded will not be able to help but want to jump out of the window and directly jump off the building to commit suicide!

…Just when such an Apple software engineer was under a lot of pressure and struggling, when they came home after get off work in the middle of the night, a mysterious headhunter found them.According to the headhunters, there is a big company in the industry that has a slight competitive relationship with their company, and they are very optimistic about Apple's software engineers. We suddenly have a kind of drowning man who sees the life-saving straw and rushes!Because the days at Apple are sometimes really life-threatening!Especially when forced by Jobs!Although it is said that working under Jobs, it really feels like working with a genius.But such a genius has such a bad temper!Even though it is said that the temper of such a genius has improved a lot compared to when he was young, but now it seems that Alexander wants to commit suicide!If you change jobs to another company... Sigh... Doesn't this mean that the pressure will be much less?Is there any other company in the industry whose work pressure can be as high as Apple's?

And the key point is that in Apple's employee contract, there is no clause prohibiting competition in the same industry!That is to say, there is no clause that restricts employees from resigning or changing jobs, and they are not allowed to enter companies that compete with Apple within a few years!If there is such a clause, then when the employee leaves, the employee will have to be paid a lot of money!In order to reduce costs as much as possible, Apple has not added clauses in this regard!So this means that employees can actually switch to competing companies!In this way, some software engineers were really moved!Then after these software engineers tried their best to ask for leave, they went to a headhunting company for an interview-of course they had an interview with the headhunting company.It is impossible for the headhunting company to allow the client to meet directly with the headhunted target, otherwise the headhunting company will not be able to get the intermediary money?

During the interview or interview with the headhunting company, these software engineers were quite satisfied - the conditions of the headhunting company to help the new owner open are quite good, a little higher than the original salary given by Apple, and the other headhunting company I also guarantee that the boss of the new owner will never have the same bad temper as Jobs, and the new boss is easy to talk to... And at such a time, Jobs also discovered such a thing!How did he find out?Very simple, who said there is no office politics in European and American offices?Besides, the software engineers in charge of developing ios ask for leave every so often, and they always ask for leave during the day. These people also receive mysterious calls during working hours from time to time, and even go to the corner where no one is around to answer the phone in a very mysterious and low voice. ...

Jobs is not a baby. After seeing this kind of performance, can he still not understand that these weird-behaving software engineers are facing poaching?He also knew that this period of time put a lot of pressure on the people below, but he couldn't help it!The time the company is facing is tight, he can't just let the people below come at their own pace, can he?Always obey the company's policy, right?And if these few software engineers change jobs all of a sudden, to be honest, the development speed of ios will definitely be affected!Even if not all of these software engineers are in key positions, why don't newcomers get familiar with the progress when they come?Do not re-familiarize with various design ideas or something?Isn't this all time cost?So Jobs is going to make these few software engineers unable to jump into the slot!

But what should be done to prevent the following people from quitting?Employees have the right to resign. Jobs can't prevent people from resigning, right?And now the poaching is done by the headhunting company, and he doesn't know who is behind the headhunting company!So after much deliberation, Jobs felt that it must not be some small and medium-sized company poaching people-in the United States these days, no small and medium-sized company would dare to go to Apple to poach people!Because the treatment can't afford it!The annual salary of software engineers working at Apple is 15 US dollars or more. Generally, the annual salary of software engineers in small and medium-sized companies is only about 12 US dollars, and the benefits provided by Apple are not bad, so obviously only giant companies can dig people!Otherwise, Apple's software engineers may not be willing to go to small companies. After all, small and medium companies may collapse in a few years, so it is better to work at Apple!

…In such a situation, after thinking about it for a while, Jobs probably drew up a list of several "suspects"—those who have the courage and strength to poach Apple's software engineers are probably Intel, Huaxia Hi-Tech, Microsoft, etc. Several manufacturers!Although Intel may not need any engineers to develop mobile phone software, but now that Apple develops mobile phone systems, not everyone in Apple knows about it, let alone people outside!Maybe the other party just wanted to poach people, but they didn't expect to poach someone who was working on the mobile phone system!So after thinking of this, Jobs wrote a secret email to these few manufacturers in private.

And Jia Hongjian received such an email.When he first received the email, Jia Hongjian was taken aback. He thought that Jobs had discovered that it was Jia Hongjian who was digging the apples so quickly!That's right, it was Jia Hongjian who hired a headhunting company to poach people from Apple before!He, Jia Hongjian, is a reborn person, especially a reborn person of the former Guofan. He can tell that Apple is definitely developing ios now. Since this apple is going to be his opponent, since it seems that Huaxia Hi-Tech is also developing Apple, the mobile phone system, has no good way to confront it head-on, so who said we can't use some dirty tricks to make trouble?So he hired a headhunting company to poach people from Apple. If he poached five or six people, how could it disrupt Apple's development plan?Isn't this tantamount to messing with Apple?

So when he saw such a letter, Jia Hongjian really thought that Jobs was a god!How did he find out so quickly that Jia Hongjian was making trouble?In the end, who knew that he opened the e-mail and went in to have a look, only to find out that he hadn't found out about his knocking on the wall at all!Such a letter from Jobs originally contained such a thing-in view of the complicated competitive situation in the market, why not let Apple take the lead and stipulate that several giant companies should not poach each other? r1152
