罗伯特·艾格 创始人肖像计划 <​Ep.2>


Note

  • 这个男人,过去十五年时间,几乎不接受采访,只是静悄悄的,花掉了1000亿美金。
    ——这个男人,太厉害了......

  • 艾格跳槽去了ABC,从最底层的小导播做起,一辈子46年职业生涯,再也没有跳过槽。这46年里的最后15年,他升任CEO,做出了惊天动地的大事情。

  • 今年,艾格退休写了自传,起名字叫《The Ride of a Lifetime》,我想了半天,这书名有点拽,只能翻译成《一辈子就要干一票大的》,笔者一介俗人,但愿艾总不要介意,哈哈。
    ——《一辈子的旅途》,感觉会更契合些?哈哈哈

  • 在艾总的这本《干一票》里,我读来读去,总是找不到他是怎么升到副总裁的——升到副总裁之后的一步步到CEO倒是写的很细致,看来大佬写自传也为自己讳,不愿意提太多当年勇。
    ——Interesting

  • 地表最强二人组(Tom Murphy和Dan Burke)最牛逼的成就就是不出让股权(Equity)的资本并购。一路用自由现金流加发行债券来进行收购,85年的时候举债30亿,配合巴菲特的5亿美金,小鱼吞大鱼,一把吃掉了当时比自己体量大得多的ABC电视台。他们俩的管理特点是极端节俭,冷血砍成本(不禁让人想到贝索斯),收购完成后,直接开掉1500员工、干掉高管电梯、高管餐厅、全员改坐经济舱,甚至于把曼哈顿总部的办公室卖了,换来1.75亿美金。三年多就把当时举的债还完。

  • 作为巴菲特一辈子最推崇的企业家组合,Tom和Dan还有一个特点:放权。他们俩极为谨慎用人,但是一旦选中,就破格提拔,尚方宝剑交出,让牛人干大事。没干多久,俩人就接二连三的退休了,艾格你年轻,你来当总裁!

  • 艾格原话是这么写的:“我心里也有预期,感觉最后总裁的位置是我的,但是确实没想到来的那么快”。按照网友的话就是“一脸懵逼”。

  • 艾格有个特点,他性格是标准的外柔内刚,外圆内方。他不强势,不豪夺,永远不是人群中最聒噪的那位。他能等,在大都会(CapCities)花六年时间做三把手,等到二把手退休,再等好几年到一把手退休,最终上位
    ——耐得住寂寞,受得住繁华

  • 21世纪出头即提出战略:
    第一句:我们只做高质量品牌视频
    第二句:全力拥抱技术而不是对抗
    第三句:全球化

  • 大佬的出手案例:

    • 2006年从乔布斯手里收走Pixar皮克斯,给迪士尼的动画部门注入新鲜血液。2009年40亿美金收购漫威,可能是历史上最赚的10笔交易之一了。2009年买Hulu,2012年买星战(LucasFilm),2019年买21世纪福克斯。这些大手笔并购,都发生在我眼前,但是我硬是没看出来艾格下的这盘大棋,里面藏着多么致命的一击。
    • 十五年间,把内容全部license给奈飞和苹果。观众看得开心,白花花的银子往迪士尼口袋里走。这是因为,迪士尼知道,自己的技术还不太行,开发网站和App不是强项,贸然启动会沦为笑柄,而且时机还不成熟,所以先闷声发大财15年。
    • 到2016年,迪士尼收购了流媒体底层技术公司BAMTech,终于补齐自己的技术短板。随后2018年发布ESPN+,试水直播稳定性,逐渐打磨用户体验。
    • 2019年,突然砍掉全部商业合作,终于推出DisneyPlus,所有内容独家在我这里看!
  • 2016年,小米手机的开发人员大概是200人,不包括米聊等其他项目,就是直接围绕手机开发的人。

  • 你猜一下,华为当时有多少人围绕手机做开发? 我告诉你,1.2万人。2016年,华为投了1.2万人围绕手机做开发,将近100倍的差距,直接砸下来。
    ——太刚了,没想到真这么多人

  • 2019年11月,DisneyPlus上线,所有漫威、皮克斯、星战和迪士尼的内容,仅此一家,别无分号。48小时内,美国和加拿大1000万人付费订阅,随后到今天为止每天100万人订阅。整个北美一共就3亿多人啊!

  • 通读艾总的全书,我看到了一个中人之资的职业经理人,一路上穿过重重障碍,用自己前半辈子的人生,爬到职场最高点,然后用后半辈子的人生,终结了一场战争的故事。
    ——这才是牛逼的CEO

Steve Jobs at 44, By Michael Krantz, 1999

Differences and Similarities Between Apple and Pixar Apple turns out many products--a dozen a year; if you count all the minor ones, probably a hundred. Pixar is striving to turn out one a year. But the converse of that is that Pixar's products will still be used fifty years from now, whereas I don't think you'll be using any product Apple brings to market this year fifty years from now. Pixar is making art for the ages. Kids will be watching Toy Story in the future. And Apple is much more of a constant race to continually improve things and stay ahead of the competition.  His Role At Pixar At Pixar my job is to help build the studio and recruit people and help create a situation where they can do the best work of their lives. And to some degree it's the same at Apple. But at Pixar, I don't direct the movies, whereas at Apple probably, if I had to pick a role out of a film production, I'd be the director. So it...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 16 Blind Spots, Grudges, and Sharp Elbows

Steve could be pretty thin-skinned when someone prominent criticized the aesthetics of his products. He took great umbrage that Neil would, as Steve put it, “pop off in public like that without coming to talk to us about his technical concerns first.” From that point on he had rebuffed all of Neil’s attempts to smoke the peace pipe. 有趣 He had blind spots, grating behavioral habits, and a tendency to give in to emotional impulse that persisted his entire life. These characteristics are often used to make the case that Steve was an “asshole” or a “jerk,” or perhaps simply “binary”—that odd adjective often used to convey the sense that he was half asshole/half genius from birth to death. These aren’t useful, interesting, or enlightening descriptions. What’s more illuminating is to take a look at the specific ways in which Steve failed to do an effective job of tempering some of his weaknesses and antisocial traits, and to consider how, when, and why some of them continued to flare up even...

Foobar2000 组件安装教程

 原作者 博客地址   汉化作者 Asion博客   关于foobar 2000的一些资源 前言 foobar2000 由于其软件架构特点以及开放的姿态,使得第三方很容易开发组件(component)来拓展它的功能。由于在官网下载的默认安装文件只带了少量几个默认的组件,满足不了使用的需求,例如:默认不带 ape,tta,tak 等音频文件格式的解码器,很多无损压缩格式音乐没法播放。所以自己下载安装组件是必备的基本技能。 foobar2000 的中文汉化版(Asion 汉化)为了方便使用,集成了无损压缩文件解码器以及一些其它有用的插件,安装时选上即可,不喜欢折腾的建议使用汉化版。 这里组件指的是 foobar2000 标准组件(*.dll 文件),而非 vst 插件等其它插件,姑且把组件分为两类: 官方组件: 英文版安装包自带,安装时可选择; 第三方组件:非官方自带的组件 除了 foo_input_std.dll 和 foo_ui_std.dll 这两个组件是必须的外,其它的所有组件都 非必需 的,可以随需要增删。第三方组件可以去 官网 、 官方论坛 或者 官方 wiki 去找,也可以去贴吧等地逛逛。 下载 还是要强调一下,这里说的是 foobar2000 component ,不是中文网上通常说的 vst 插件。 下载好的组件包一般是 xxx.zip 或 xxx.fb2k-component 格式的文件,也有用 7z 打包的。前两种都是 zip 压缩(只要把 fb2k-component 改成 zip 文件就变成了 zip: 包)。标准状况下压缩包里的内容结构应该是 xxx.zip yyy.dll README.txt (可能没有) LICENCE.txt (可能没有) (其它杂七杂八) 除少数外一般只有一个 xxx.dll 文件.一定要注意压缩包结构不能是: xxx.zip yy folder (文件夹) zzz.dll … 否则要解压缩,提取那个 dll 文件。 安装 方法一(推荐) 打开 foobar2000 的菜单 文件 > 首选项(file >preferences) 的 组件(components...

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs

I grew up as an only child, with a single mother. Because we were poor and because I knew my father had emigrated from Syria, I imagined he looked like Omar Sharif. I hoped he would be rich and kind and would come into our lives (and our not yet furnished apartment) and help us. Later, after I’d met my father, I tried to believe he’d changed his number and left no forwarding address because he was an idealistic revolutionary, plotting a new world for the Arab people. Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother. By then, I lived in New York, where I was trying to write my first novel. I had a job at a small magazine in an office the size of a closet, with three other aspiring writers. When one day a lawyer called me — me, the middle-class girl from California who hassled the boss to buy us health insurance — and said his cl...

Steve Jobs: `There's Sanity Returning', 1998

Nobody can doubt the charisma of Steven P. Jobs. The interim CEO of Apple Computer Inc., who returned to the company last July after his ignominious 1985 ouster, has brought back his legendary vision, impatience, and infectious passion for the Macintosh. Jobs spoke to Business Week Correspondent Andy Reinhardt in Apple's stark, fourth-floor boardroom, just after the company rolled out its new software strategy on May 11. Note: This is an extended, online-only version of the Q&A that appears in the May 25, 1998, issue of Business Week. Q: Now that you've introduced the new, bold-looking iMac, are you going to do some radically different products? A: There's a lot of talk about such things -- about handhelds, set-top boxes. A lot of computer companies have been searching for a consumer product. My view is that the personal computer has been the most successful consumer product of the last 10 years. What we have to do, what the industry stopp...

产品随想 | 陪读《Make Something Wonderful:Steve Jobs in his own words》1976-1996

  There’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there. And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours. But somehow, in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something’s transmitted there. And it’s a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation. So we need to be true to who we are and remember what’s really important to us. ──Steve, 2007 Introduction by Laurene Powell Jobs Much of what’s in these pages reflects guiding themes of Steve’s life: his sense of the worlds that would emerge from marrying the arts and technology; his unbelievable rigor, which he imposed first and most strenuously on himself; his tenacity in pursuit of assembling and leading great teams; and perhaps, above all,...
