Le Point explains that Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, who was to attend Steve Jobs’s 30th birthday party, phoned the French president’s cabinet director (Jacques Attali) in February 1985 to get them to offer a “prestigious” gift to the Apple co-founder. The French president dismissed the idea. (Le Point does not say what Steve Jobs ended up with. Maybe Emile knows.)
RELATED: Steve Jobs has recently tried to buy a vast property in Lubéron, South of France, and, in 1981, Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber tried (unsuccessfully, again) to get the French president to build an approved Mac-clone plant in France.
