I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

According to Yang Ming's salary, fifty people are also a large salary.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it is very worthwhile.

After Yang Ming handed over the company's affairs to Yuan Tianfan, Langdon, Navia, and Tim Patterson, Yang Ming did not stay any longer.

Leave here by car and return to Connor Manor.

Yang Ming set his sights on the second target.

Pingo Company.

In 1976, Jobs successfully persuaded Woz to follow him in sales while assembling the machine. Another friend of theirs, Roy Wayne, also joined, and the three formed Pingo Computer Company on April 1976, 4.

In May of the same year, Jobs negotiated with a local computer store, The Byte Shop, where the owner, Paul Tyrrell, ordered 5 devices, which later became known as the Apple I, and paid $50 per unit upon delivery.

After Jobs obtained the order, he sold his valuables to raise funds, and persuaded the store credit manager of Cramer Electronics, a large electronic parts distributor, to provide the parts first and pay later. In the end, Jobs successfully completed the transaction. In January 1977, Pingguo Computer Company was officially registered as Pingguo Computer Company.

In the same year, Woz had successfully designed the Apple II, which was more advanced than the Apple I.

Jobs wanted to expand the company and get a loan from the bank, but Wayne withdrew because of the psychological shadow caused by the failure of the risky investment (another theory is that Wayne chose to give up his crazy job for the sake of health).

At that time, Pingguo Computer Company lacked financial resources.

Jobs finally met Mike Markkula, who invested $9.2 and co-signed a $25 bank loan with Jobs.

Yang Ming then reviewed the previous financing process of Shipingguo Company, its pre-IPO equity structure and the company’s rights structure over the years.

On April 1976, 4, Pingguo founded the company with 1% of its shares held by founders Jobs, 45% by Woz, and 45% by Wayne. Soon after, Wayne withdrew from the partnership and Jobs repurchased his shares for US$10.

1976年8月马库拉入伙9.1万美元，当时计划股权结构为乔布斯26%，沃兹26%，马库拉26%；剩下22%用来吸引新的投资者。

On January 1977, 1, Xinpingguo Company was established with a shareholding structure of 3% for Jobs, 30% for Woz, 30% for Markkula, and 30% for Engineering Holt.

However, this balanced shareholding structure is a foreshadowing of Jobs' future being kicked out.

At the end of 1979, Pingguo introduced pre-IPO mezzanine financing, with a total of 16 investors including Xerox, Rothschild, Untenberg, Towbin, Brentwood Capital and some individual investors.

一直到1980年12月12日，平果 IPO，IPO后第一大股东乔布斯被稀释后的持股比例约为 15%；第二大股东马库拉约持有700万股，占比约 11.4%；第三大股东沃兹持有400万股，占比约 6.5%。

In other words, when Jobs and Woz established Pingguo Company, it was very difficult when Pingguo Company was first established, because there was no sales volume and it was difficult to raise funds.

At the end of last year, after introducing capital and investors, it has passed the most difficult time. Historically, it will be listed at the end of this year.

In other words, under the current circumstances, it is basically impossible for Yang Ming to acquire or completely swallow up Pingguo Company.

With Jobs's character, he probably wouldn't be able to sell Pingguo Company easily. However, this does not mean that Pingguo Company does not need financing.

For any company in Silicon Valley, as long as it has not actually gone public, it hopes to raise as much money as possible to obtain more funds for development and reduce risks.

Yang Ming is very optimistic about Pingguo Company.

There is also Steve Jobs, the founder of Pingguo Company, whom Yang Ming admires even more.

However, it came relatively late.

Pingguo Company was established in 1976, before Yang Ming came to this world.

In other words, although it is impossible to acquire or swallow up Pingguo Company now, it is still necessary to provide financing to the other party and obtain as many shares or original shares as possible.

In Yang Ming's view, the most important thing about Pingguo Company is Steve Jobs.

If Pingguo Company left Steve Jobs, there might not be a Steve Jobs at all. Therefore, whether it is financing or dealing with Jobs in advance, it is considered good.

Yang Ming returned here.

Yang Ming wrote an invitation letter and asked Lin Dezhong to send it to Jobs.

Steve Jobs probably worked at Pingguo Company.

Even if Lin Dezhong doesn't know where Pingguo Company is, he can still find out by asking someone.

Now Pingguo Company can be regarded as one of the larger companies in Google.

When Linde Chung and his maid drove in person to deliver the invitation letter to Jobs.

. . .

City of Cupertino.

It is also known as the heart of Silicon Valley and later became famous as the headquarters of Pingguo Company.

Here at the Pingguo company headquarters.

Now a white man wearing glasses, polite and about the same age as Yang Ming is working.

He was Steve Jobs, the founder of Pingguo Company, who later became famous in the technology world.

At this time, Jobs was wearing a black sweater and jeans and was in his office.

At the end of last year, he was invited to attend the Xerox headquarters and was shocked by the technology at the Xerox headquarters. Since then, he felt that the development of Pingguo Company was a little different from the past.

In the past, it was very difficult for Pingguo to raise funds and sales were not good. Compared with IBM, it was really far behind.

The pressure to start a business in that situation can be imagined.

After signing a financing agreement with those 16 capital and personal investors at the end of last year, I was temporarily relieved. Now I am also seeking to go public to obtain more financing for Pingguo Company.

At this time.

There was a knock on the door at his office.

"Mr. Jobs, a butler who calls himself Sir Young is here to visit you."

Sir Young?

For a moment, Jobs didn't react.

"He said Sir Yang is Mr. Yang, the chairman of Xiangjiang Empire Group."

If you want to talk about Mr. Yang, the chairman of Xiangjiang Empire Group, Jobs immediately reacted and his expression changed immediately.

Jobs remembered that Imperial Group seemed to want to order a batch of computers from Pingguo Company before, but later gave up for unknown reasons and instead ordered a batch of office computers from IBM. This made Jobs regretful that he could not seize this large order.

There are so many groups under the Imperial Group, involving more than one million employees. Even if only some of the management use computers, the sales volume will be very huge.

Jobs hurriedly welcomed him out.

He soon saw a middle-aged man.

The person coming was none other than Lin Dezhong.

"Hello, are you Mr. Jobs?"

"I am, are you Sir Yang's butler?"

"Yes, my name is Lin Dezhong, and I am here to deliver the invitation letter to you on behalf of Sir Yang."

Lin Dezhong gave the invitation letter to Jobs.

Jobs hurriedly took it over to take a look. It turned out that it was Sir Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group, who invited him to meet and chat at Conner Manor.

Sir Yang, chairman of Imperial Group, actually came to Silicon Valley?

And he didn't know!
