Happy Tycoon

Yang Jing, who is familiar with the future development, how could he let go of this apple that Qiao Gang took a bite of?

Moreover, in terms of Gang Leader Joe's strong personality, if he doesn't take advantage of the fact that Leader Joe is returning to Apple in glory, it will be difficult for outsiders to buy Apple shares from Leader Joe once he is firmly established in Apple. Like ascending to heaven!

Seeing what the boss said with such certainty, Henry Williams, who was a little skeptical at first, had no choice but to trust his boss unconditionally again.

Henry Williams used to be an executive of Lehman Brothers. He was able to achieve that position. He is a very strong and thoughtful person. A person without temper and skill cannot get to such a high position in Goldman Sachs. .

However, ever since he was recruited to the KY investment fund more than ten years ago, he suddenly found that the strategic vision and strategic layout he was once proud of were like a little baby in front of this mysterious Cole Smith.

Especially as the KY investment fund has killed all directions in the black swan market one after another, while Henry is delighted, he is also deeply fascinated by the boss's precise and incredible vision.

Henry boasted that he had also been working hard in the financial world all his life, but he had never seen such a powerful person. With the KY investment fund growing like a snowball under the boss's command again and again, Henry finally changed from being unconvinced at the beginning to unconditional belief now!

The financial world is a battlefield without gunpowder. Its cruelty may not be as bloody as the real battlefield, but the degree of danger is not much worse than the real battlefield. The financial world is also a cruel battlefield where you live and die!

Therefore, whoever can lead his subordinates to survive on this cruel battlefield and continue to grow through incredible victories, then whoever has the most say on this battlefield!

And his boss is undoubtedly the omnipotent man and commander standing at the top of this battlefield!

Since he said that the young man Jobs would return to Apple, there is a great possibility that Jobs will return to Apple under the command of the boss's invisible magic wand!

Okay, BOSS, I will arrange for people to start contacting Apple's shareholders. Henry said obediently.

Yang Jing glanced at this subordinate who was second only to Old Mike, nodded slightly and said, It's not enough to just contact, and you can buy it at a premium if necessary. But remember, don't expose our existence. There are many shareholders in Apple now, and they are scattered. Acquisition, find more agents to acquire.”

I understand! Don't worry, boss, we have been doing this kind of thing for the past few years.

Well, there is another point you must pay attention to, that is, as soon as possible! The time cannot be delayed until the end of the year. Because according to my analysis, Jobs is very likely to enter Apple again at the end of the year. We need to acquire Apple before Jobs returns to Apple. Enough Apple shares.

Now Apple is really in a precarious and dangerous situation, and now Apple is negotiating with Sun Computer, and is preparing to merge into Sun Computer as a whole.

Jobs absolutely does not allow his Apple to be acquired by others, so he must be working on Apple's acquisition of NeXT computers.

Although Apple finally purchased NeXT Computer at a price of 400 million U.S. dollars, Yang Jing knew very well that Apple did not have such a large sum of money to buy Apple at that time, and the 400 million U.S. dollars was finally converted into Apple's shares. in the name of Jobs. At this stage of Apple, the 400 million US dollars in shares is enough for Jobs to become Apple's largest shareholder, and thus successfully enter Apple again.

Of course, even though Leader Joe is a genius, it’s hard for a clever woman to live without rice. After he took over Apple, he still faced the dilemma of having no money to use. At that time, the vampires on Wall Street aimed at Apple and wanted to inject capital into Apple. Many executives and major shareholders within Apple also agreed with Wall Street's capital injection.

But how could Gang Leader Qiao, who is well versed in the beating nature of the vampires on Wall Street, hand over the control he just acquired so easily to those vampires?

He knew very well that those vampires were coming for him, otherwise, when Apple was in such a predicament, why didn't the vampires on Wall Street inject capital?

Therefore, Leader Qiao rejected Wall Street without hesitation! He doesn't want to be a Wall Street puppet!

Because Jobs rejected Wall Street, Apple's share price continued to fall at that time, and everyone was not optimistic that Apple could be revived in the hands of Jobs, even if it is Jobs who controls Apple now!

Because it is very simple, if you want to successfully pull the apples that are mired in the mud to the shore, you must have a sufficiently large amount of funds. But where did you ask Master Qiao to get the funds? Do you really want to go to the streets to beg and be the leader of the gang of beggars?

But Gang Leader Qiao is Gang Leader Qiao, just when everyone was about to see the jokes of Leader Qiao, Gang Leader Qiao actually got a sum of money that can only be described as incredible!

Because Joe's leader actually pulled over Bill Gates, who was the least likely to invest!

Jobs is recognized as a genius in the United States, but in the country of the United States, there has never been a shortage of geniuses. Among the people of the same era as Leader Joe, there was a guy who was even more talented than him. That person's name was William Henry Gates III, and people used to call him Bill Gates.

This fellow, who is the same age as Gang Leader Qiao, is an out-and-out genius. Perhaps it is no longer enough to describe him as a genius, because he has created countless firsts!

Needless to say, the brilliance of Gates in this life, but what many people may not know is that when Gates was still struggling to develop a BASIC interpreter in the basement, Jobs had already become synonymous with personal computers and was worth millions. . In 1977, Jobs rented an eye-catching booth at the West Coast Computer Show for $5,000 to launch Apple's second-generation product, the Apple II. At that time, Gates was one of thousands of fans who met him. Idol Jobs, this is also the first time Gates and Jobs met.

This meeting also opened the curtain of love and killing between the two geniuses. At that time, I am afraid that no one would have thought that the first meeting between the two at this computer show would be the prelude to the vicissitudes of the American IT industry for more than two decades!

The conflict between Microsoft and Apple is well known, and there are constant business competitions. Before the new century, Microsoft was the leader, but after the new century, Apple has sprung up suddenly, countering Microsoft. The bosses behind these two companies have always been old rivals.

In fact, when the two first started, there was no conflict between the two. On the contrary, because he was a fan of Gangzhu Qiao, the richest guy still wanted to cooperate with the boss, but the arrogant Qiao gangster rejected Gai the richest man. The olive branch handed over opened the curtain of love and killing between the two.

At the end of the 1970s, Joe’s gang leader was temporarily ahead of the richest man, but as the richest man began to cooperate with IBM in 1980, the richest man became a money digger at that time, and his worth quickly surpassed Jobs to become the richest man in the world. The small fans of the company have turned into technology giants.

Four years later, Microsoft has been booming, but Gates did not think about playing alone. In 1984, Bill Gates brought Excel, Word, and Chart to Apple to negotiate with Jobs, but Jobs directly refused. Gates, Gates turned around and sold the product to IBM, which also meant that the first cooperation between Gates and Jobs failed.

Since 1984, Microsoft has been climbing steadily. With the advent of the Windows operating system, it made Gai the richest man on the throne of the world's richest man. On the other hand, Apple’s boss Qiao was forced to resign, but the company still insists on bundling sales of software and hardware, ignores partners, and does not give partners compatibility technical support before the development of the new system, so that all partners Drive away, the glorious era is gone forever, until now, the company is about to declare bankruptcy.

Moreover, for more than ten years, Apple's patent litigation against Microsoft has not stopped. Although all this has nothing to do with Joe's gang, there is no doubt that the relationship between Microsoft and Apple has been fierce in recent years.

Under such circumstances, Jobs pulled in an investment of up to 150 million US dollars from the deadly rival Apple at Apple's most critical juncture. Of course, the price was 18.2 million Apple shares with preferred rights!

The funds saved Apple in jeopardy, and in return, Apple dropped its lawsuit against Microsoft for copyright infringement and built Internet Explorer and Office on every Macintosh. In a sense, it was the richest man Gai who saved Gangzhu Qiao this time.

Of course, this is also the only large-scale external sale of Apple's shares by Gangzhu Qiao after returning to Apple.

In fact, Yang Jing was also very greedy for the 18.2 million preferred shares. He bought so many shares for US$150 million, and the price per share was only US$8.25. It's just that Yang Jing is very clear that these stocks do not belong to him, and he will not be able to force them.

One is that it is impossible for Jobs to sell this part of the stock to the KY investment fund, because in the eyes of Mr. Joe, the KY investment fund at this time also belongs to the category of vampires on Wall Street.

The second is that if you move the shares yourself, it will inevitably trigger a certain amount of space-time paradox.

Although Yang Jing was very envious of the 18.2 million shares, he didn't want to lose a lot of treasure because of these stocks.

At this time, Apple's stock is not easy to buy, but no one buys it at all. Even if Apple's shareholders want to sell their own stocks, no one will take the order. It is easy to intervene in Apple at this time, and there is no need to lose a lot of treasure for those stocks.

But when it comes to the stocks bought by Gai's richest man for US$150 million, Yang Jing is also a little bit embarrassed. It is true that the richest man is a genius, but his genius does not lie in investment.

According to the provisions of the U.S. Securities Law, the 18.2 million shares purchased by the richest man in August 1997 could only be lifted and become ordinary shares after three years.

In August 2000, Steve Ballmer, who had just taken office as CEO of Microsoft, decided to start cleaning up these stocks in Microsoft's hands. Because Apple hadn't launched the iPod at this time, it was only a few months away.

If Apple's iPod had been launched before August 2000, I'm afraid the richest man and Ballmer would not be so eager to clear out these stocks.

The 18.2 million Apple shares cashed out $182 million for Microsoft at the time, with a return on investment of about 20%. Gai’s investment cannot be said to have failed.

But at that time, neither the richest man nor Ballmer would have thought that if they could continue to hold these stocks with patience, then after fifteen years, the market value of these stocks would be as high as 9.1 billion US dollars!

The richest guy and Ballmer can only pay for their investment vision, because they made $8.95 billion less.
