Chapter 219 Feeling too good and easy to be slapped in the face
(Bow thanks to "Sweetheart Wanzhi" for his monthly ticket support!)
October 1 is a very important festival in China, but in Mexico, it is a very ordinary Tuesday.
It has been a week since the Mexican Ministry of Commerce's standardized meeting on the communications industry. Zhou Ming went out after lunch at noon. He went to the airport to pick up Jobs. According to his plan, he needed to upgrade the phone and mobile phone in the zero-yuan purchase machine. Jobs' Aipai Company is Zhou Ming's partner this time.
After about an hour of touching, Zhou Ming arrived at the airport and found that the exit of the airport was full of reporters. Seeing them holding cameras and preparing recorders, Zhou Ming was a little surprised. He asked curiously what was going on.
The reporter asked the question looked Zhou Ming up and down with contempt: "Brother, are you kidding? If you don't know what the situation is, you dare to come here. God, you don't even bring a camera or recording device. Are you here for a trip? Do you know how rare this opportunity is? I am a reporter from the Mexican Morning Post. I arrived here at 9:00 in the morning, but there was no good seat at that time."
Zhou Ming touched his nose a little embarrassed. He just wanted to keep a low profile, so he dressed a little casually. Unexpectedly, he was regarded as a reporter who came here to squat and take pictures.
However, Zhou Ming, Mexico Morning News, has heard of: "Morning News is a very influential newspaper in Mexico. Your news can always track the hottest news."
"We are the best!" the reporter said proudly, but he then remembered something and became upset. "But damn, I drank too much last night and accidentally leaked today's news. As a result, this situation became when I got here."
"This at least proves that your news is very attractive." Zhou Ming comforted him and then asked, "So I'm sorry to bother. Who is here and has such a great influence? Could it be that the movie star from Hollywood or any politician?"
With Zhou Ming's question, the reporter's eyes became even more contemptuous: "Brother, your words really make me doubt your professional quality. You won't run over without even knowing any news, right? Damn if I were your editor-in-chief, a guy like you who is simple-minded, doesn't know anything, and has no vision, I will definitely kick you hard in the butt and kick you out of the newspaper!"
Hearing his words became more and more unbearable, Carlos couldn't help but step forward and said, "Your wine is not awake yet. You should go back to your kennel and sleep for one more day. We just want to ask who is coming. We don't need your preaching!"
The reporter was also angry: "Please keep your mouth alive, otherwise I wouldn't mind using my socks to block your mouth!"
Then he said: "But I'm in a good mood today, so it's okay to tell you. Today there will be a flight from California, USA, with a very influential figure on it, and he is Jobs, chairman of Aipai Company!"
"I think you should have heard of this name?" said the reporter. "That is a very well-known and very news-oriented person. His Aipai Company created four billionaires and more than fifty millionaires within less than an hour after its listing. And that was ten years ago, and it was calculated in US dollars!"
"Of course, maybe that's all in the past, but just last year, the animation movie Toy Story he devoted himself to was also a huge success. Not only in the box office, he was also the world's first 3D animation, which is epoch-making. I never thought I would actually watch cartoons in the cinema, but because of the name of Jobs, I contributed my first cartoon movie ticket!"
The reporter continued: "It is because of these first time that Toy Story has won more than eight Oscar nominations!"
"More importantly, because of the success of Toy Story, Jobs returned to Aipai Company and immediately launched new computers and mobile phones this year, which are products that transcend the times!" he emphasized, "So I believe he must be the one who leads the trend of the times. Now that he has finally come to Mexico, how can we not come and interview him desperately?"
Zhou Ming was stunned. Of course, this was not how amazing his words were, but Zhou Ming didn't expect that it was really Jobs, and he didn't expect that this guy had such great influence in Mexico.
Although Zhou Ming also came to pick up Jobs, Zhou Ming also knew very well that Jobs was a very powerful businessman. He brought Aipai to glory, but in 1991, it is not twenty years after the emergence of 3G mobile phones; now Aipai is just an ordinary technology company that survives in the cracks of the market. His computers are not as good as IBM and Dell, and the communication products are completely exploded by Motorola.
That's right, Zhou Ming's first reaction to this situation was that there was a Hollywood star. Zhou Ming had been in Mexico for so long, and he knew very well that with the emergence of the lipstick effect of the financial crisis, a movie star was much more famous than the boss of a company.
So perhaps Jobs' reputation was also because of Toy Story rather than his Aipai Company.
But no matter what, this at least shows one truth: a great character must be very awesome no matter what time!
Zhou Ming thought so in his heart, but suddenly heard a noise and noise coming from the front. The reporter who had been muttering in Zhou Ming's ear was also refreshed. While he excitedly held his camera to check, he kept muttering: "Great, Jobs is really here. I must take the first-hand information and ask the question I want to ask the most!"
Zhou Ming felt helpless about this, and he wanted to ask: Are you really a reporter rather than a fan of the leader of gang Qiao?
The noise there was getting louder and louder, and they could clearly see the crowd in front of them constantly retreating like a wave. Even people with no common sense understood that someone was coming out of the exit, and the reporters were following the photos all the way.
The reporter in front of Zhou Ming also jumped anxiously: "Damn it, it must be Jobs who came, but with so many idiots standing in front of me, it's really annoying!"
As the people there got closer, Zhang Lin and Hyena helped separate the reporters who had retreated from the front. They could finally see the situation there, and only saw a few middle-aged people walking out under the escort of a group of bodyguards.
Seeing this scene, the reporter was immediately excited: "God, this is really great. I thought it was only Jobs. Unexpectedly, Mr. Langke came too. He is the vice president of Motorola and a core family member of the Chicago Consortium, one of the eight major consortiums in the United States. Is their arrival a change in Mexico's communications industry?"
Zhou Ming was also surprised because he thought that Jobs was the only one who came. He originally planned to pick him up today, but he didn't expect that Motorola's people also came, and they were the vice president of the company, and they were on the same flight as Jobs. This was so strange.
However, Zhou Ming didn't have time to think too much, so he heard the reporter shouting: "Ah! Jobs and Mr. Lang Ke and others walked towards this side. They must have seen the uniform of the Mexican Morning Post on me, so they came to be interviewed!"
Zhou Ming looked up and saw that Jobs and Langke were really coming here. This situation also made other reporters around him ecstatic and said: "The Mexican Morning Post is indeed very influential. I'm afraid you are also the chief reporter of the Morning Post. So even people like Jobs and Mr. Langke hope to accept your interview first. As far as I know, he has not received any interviews after getting off the plane!"
These words made the reporter's tail rise to the sky: "Of course, the Mexican Morning Post is the most influential media in Mexico, and I am the newspaper's best reporter. Of course, only I can deserve them! But don't worry, I won't forget yours even if I interview."
He also turned around and said to Zhou Ming: "You come and assist me in the interview. If time allows, I can ask them a question and consider giving you a copy of my interview record."
Zhou Ming smiled and said, "I think this is not necessary, because they may be here to find me."
"Are you sure you didn't take the wrong medicine?" the reporter laughed, "What are you? Which newspaper does not even have a special uniform. It must be an unknown tabloid. How could such an influential entrepreneur come to find a unknown garbage newspaper? This is simply the funny joke I have ever heard. You have to have a bottom line even if you feel too good. If you feel too good, you can easily be slapped in the face..."
The reporter's words came to an abrupt end here, because just as they were talking, Jobs and Langke had already walked in front of them.
Zhou Ming looked at them with a smile and was about to speak, but he saw the reporter holding a recorder and rushing forward and said: "Hello, Mr. Jobs and Mr. Lang Ke, I am Garcia, a reporter from the Mexican Morning Post. I am very happy to see you here. I think I am ready to interview you. I will make the news of your arrival a headline today!"
The reporter's words made Jobs and Langke slightly surprised, but he nodded and smiled at him with a graceful look: "We are also very happy to know you, an excellent Garcia reporter, but now may not be a good time for an interview, and we are not ready to be interviewed."
After saying this to him, Jobs and Lang Ke were in front of the reporter's round eyes, and he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhou Ming and hugged him.
"I'm very happy to see you again, Mr. Zhou Ming." Jobs said to Zhou Ming.
"We were really flattered," Lang Ke also said.
"After all, I invited you, so if I don't come to pick you up, that's the biggest rude, right?" Zhou Ming said.
