Seeing this gentleman who came to the door and called himself Robinson, Joshua chose to refuse without thinking, "Sorry, I'm going out now," he had no intention of inviting someone into the house.

Robinson smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all, "Look at Joshua, it only takes me a few minutes,"

"I believe that the issue I have discussed with you is also a rare opportunity for you,"

Joshua looked at Mr. Robinson again, from the briefcase he carried to the suit he was wearing, his t-shirt and coated, his clean cheeks, his meticulous hair, and his face that was always smiling like a diplomat…

He originally thought that this was a hr who he had just dealt with, but now, he felt that this guy looked a bit like a guy who came to sell.

"You should make an appointment first," he said.

After years of training at Apple, he not only became arrogant, but also had a bad temper.

——This is very ironic. On the one hand, they think that Jobs' violent temper and style are really unbearable, but on the other hand, they now have this tendency.

"Who said we didn't?" Joshua was still smiling. "From the day after you left Apple, we made an appointment with you through the contact information we knew,"

"Until now, we have not only sent 3 emails to your email, but also left messages on your phone 3 times, but you have never replied,"

Now, it was Joshua's turn to be a little embarrassed.

After finally ending a difficult career, Joshua, who felt that his body had been hollowed out, has completely let himself go these days.

The computer is not turned on, the mobile phone is not known where it is thrown in, and even the landline at home is too lazy to listen to messages.

His wife and children's verbal explanations were also made, so that they had to leave him messages on the refrigerator frequently.

The reason why he was in a hurry to go out was because he had been lying in bed for most of the day and spent a long time in the game room. After getting beer for the third time, he saw his wife's message on the refrigerator and had to go to the supermarket.

So, Mr. Robinson's words should be true. They have made an appointment with themselves in ways that can be used, but have not received any response.

Speaking of which, even Jobs, who had a very bad temper, had never done such a thing-his secretary would help him handle these things in a timely manner.

Joshua looked at his watch, "Well, I'll probably take a few minutes,"

"Thank you," Robinson handed him a business card, "I'll get to know Toby Robinson,"

"Hello, Scott Joshua," Joshua shook his hand and finally opened the door and let him in.

But wait, he looked at Robinson's business card, are you officially getting to know each other?

Why don’t you even write the company name and position on your business card? Who do you think you are?

You, a guy who came to talk to me, would you pretend to be a big shot for me?

It was obviously not the first time Robinson encountered such a situation. Before Joshua asked, he took the initiative to say, "Sorry, our company is still a startup, and there is no name yet. The boss means that when the team is almost formed, everyone will discuss together and see what our company is called,"

"Similarly, because it is a startup, we do not have a clear division of labor. Everyone's main job is to contact target talents like you."

When Joshua heard Robinson say this, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

The sound of closing the door was still echoing. He really wanted to open the door again and let the gentleman he invited in to go out as he could.

You look quite reliable, but why doesn’t your company sound very reliable?

The name is not determined and the division of labor is not determined, which means that most of them do not even have a fixed team.

But just like that, do you still want to start a business and still want to pull me in?

It's not that he has a high opinion of himself.

With so many years of experience working in Apple's core design team, as long as he wants, he can easily find a good job in any high-tech company in the world.

However, he is currently a little reluctant to work.

Apple is not Apple that is facing bankruptcy a few years ago. With the improvement of Apple's performance and the rise of Apple's stock price, the compensation received and the Apple stock he holds after leaving the company are enough to make him live a very comfortable life.

What he originally planned was to relax completely for a while before considering the next step.

Maybe it is to start a business in the field you are interested in.

It is also possible that like other Silicon Valley, they are considered to be small-capable, but after the previous high-intensity and high-pressure work, at least some people who resist entrepreneurship temporarily turn into an investor or coach, provide technical and financial support to some people who are interested in entrepreneurship, and hope to further increase their assets.

But now, an unreliable company like you is coming to you, and you want me to work for you. Who gives you the courage?

"Joshua," Robinson sat down with a smile, as if he didn't see the gloomy face at all. "In fact, it is mainly because we are elites like you, and some of our previous experiences, when we first started, we wanted to build our new company into a company that would make us feel happy and comfortable,"

"Oh," Joshua was stunned.

If it is for this purpose, it is not unreasonable. At least, this statement is worthy of his entertaining Robinson for something, "What do you want to drink?" he asked.

"Just like water, thank you," Robinson gave a breath, and finally made some progress.

God knows why these guys who came out of Apple are so difficult to get along with.

When pouring the water, Joshua thought of a question, "It seems that you are very familiar with us?"

"How many people are not familiar with Apple?" Robinson smiled.

Joshua didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. Although he had successfully "escaped" from Apple, and although he knew that Robinson said this, he did not respond to his question positively, but after hearing this sentence, he still felt a little glorious.

It seems that even if you leave, you will inevitably be marked as an Apple man.

The fluctuations in his heart made him a little annoyed. He frowned and asked, "Have you determined the direction of this company that has not yet been named?"

He thought that if Robinson did not respond positively on this issue, he would immediately ask him to close his door from outside.

"Of course," Robinson put down the water cup, "our direction is in the field of smart hardware,"

"Smart hardware?" This is the answer that Joshua would not be surprised when he heard it.

On the contrary, if there are currently popular social or other projects, he will be surprised.

He asked immediately, "You want to develop smartphones too? Are you from Chicago or Shirata?"

Currently, Motorola is headquartered in the suburbs of Chicago, while Nokia's US headquarters is now in White Plains, New York.

"No, I want to reiterate that we are a startup, our direction is smart hardware, smartphone projects, we have not ruled out at the moment, but this is at least not the key project we want to develop at the moment,"

Robinson's words made Joshua a little confused again. Where did you come from? What exactly do you want to do?

Robinson did not answer his questions in time this time, "Frankly, Joshua, we have reached agreements with many of your colleagues in Apple. We highly appreciate and recognize your talents and some rare qualities that you and your colleagues have because of their work experience."

"The company's investors especially appreciate such characteristics..."

Many of Apple colleagues are so targeted? That is, this is a long-planned plan. Joshua immediately interrupted him, "The company's investors are very familiar with us?"

"Of course," said Robinson. Otherwise, why did our emails be sent to your email the day after you left the job?

"Am I familiar with this investor?" Joshua continued to ask.

"I think so," Robinson said, "but before we know more about your wishes, it is not convenient for us to disclose his identity for some reasons."

"I need time to think about it," Joshua stood up.

"Of course," Robinson also stood up, looking quite optimistic, "If you have any questions, feel free to contact me,"

When he arrived at the door, looking at Joshua's gray 911, he smiled and said, "The car is good!"

"Thanks,"

"By the way, are you interested in Tesla's electric sports car?" he asked with a smile.
