Yang Jing, who is familiar with the future development, how could he let go of this apple that was gnawed by the Qiao gang leader?
Moreover, in terms of the strong character of the Qiao gang leader, if you don't take advantage of the Qiao gang leader's glorious return to Apple now, then once the Qiao gang leader is firmly seated in Apple, it will be difficult for outsiders to buy Apple's shares from the hands of the Qiao gang leader!
Seeing that the boss said so surely, Henry Williams, who was still a little skeptical, could only choose to believe in his boss unconditionally again.Henry Williams was also an executive of Lehman Brothers before, and he was able to achieve that position, which he was a very strong and very creative person, and a person without temper and skill could not get into such a high position at Goldman Sachs.However, since he was tapped into the KY investment fund more than ten years ago, he suddenly found that the strategic vision and strategic layout that he was once proud of were weak in front of this mysterious Cole Smith as if he were a little baby.Especially with the KY investment fund killing all sides in the black swan market, which made Henry feel happy at the same time, but also deeply fascinated by the boss's accurate and incredible vision.Henry boasted that he had worked hard in the financial world all his life, but he had never seen such a powerful person.With the growth of KY Investment Fund under the command of the boss again and again, Henry has finally changed from unconvinced at the beginning to unconditional belief today!
The financial world is a battlefield without gunpowder, and its cruelty may not be as bloody as the real battlefield, but the danger is not much worse than the real battlefield - the financial world is also a cruel battlefield where you live and die!
So, whoever can lead his men to survive on this brutal battlefield and continue to grow through incredible victories is the one who has the most say on this battlefield!
And his boss is undoubtedly the all-powerful man and commander who stands at the top of this battlefield!
Since he said that the young man Jobs would return to Apple, then there is a great possibility that Jobs will return to Apple under the command of the boss's invisible magic wand!"
Okay, boss, I'll arrange for people to start reaching out to Apple's shareholders."
Henry said obediently.Yang Jing glanced at this subordinate who was second only to Old Mike, nodded slightly and said, "Light contact is not enough, you can buy it at a premium if necessary."
But remember one thing, don't expose our existence.Now there are many shareholders of Apple, so they should diversify their acquisitions and find more agents to acquire. ”"I see!
Don't worry, boss, we've been doing this kind of thing for the past few years. ”"Well, there's one more thing you must pay attention to, and that is as soon as possible!
Time cannot be delayed until the end of the year.Because according to my analysis, it is very likely that Jobs will re-enter Apple at the end of the year.We're going to have to buy enough Apple shares before Jobs comes back to Apple. ”Now Apple is really in a dangerous situation, and now Apple is negotiating with Sun Computer Company to merge into Sun Computer Company as a whole.Steve Jobs would never allow his Apple to be bought by someone else, so he must be running the business of Apple's acquisition of the Next computer now.Although Apple eventually acquired Next Computer for $400 million, Yang Jing knew very well that Apple did not have such a large amount of money to acquire Apple at that time, and the $400 million was eventually converted into Apple's shares and counted in Jobs's name.At this stage of Apple, $400 million in shares is enough for Jobs to become Apple's largest shareholder, thus successfully becoming Apple's owner again.Of course, even if Joe is a genius, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, he still faces the dilemma of having no money to use after he becomes Apple, at that time, the Wall Street vampires are targeting Apple, and they want to inject capital into Apple, and even many executives and major shareholders within Apple have agreed to Wall Street's capital injection.But how could Joe, the gang leader who is well versed in the beating of the vampires on Wall Street, hand over the control he just gained to the vampires so easily?
He knew very well that those vampires were coming for him, otherwise why wouldn't he have seen the vampires on Wall Street inject money when Apple was so embarrassed before?
Therefore, Joe Gang Leader did not hesitate to refuse Wall Street!
He doesn't want to be a puppet of Wall Street!
Because Jobs rejected Wall Street, which led to the continued decline of Apple's stock price at that time, everyone was not optimistic that Apple could come back to life in the hands of Jobs, even if it was Jobs who now controls Apple!
Because very simply, if you want to pull the apples that are stuck in the mire smoothly, you must have a large enough amount of money.But where do you want Joe to get this money?
Do you really want to go to the streets to beg and be the leader of a beggar gang?
But Qiao Gang Leader is Qiao Gang Leader, and just when everyone was about to see Qiao Gang Leader's jokes, Qiao Gang Leader actually pulled up a sum of money that can only be described as "incredible"!
Because Joe's gang leader actually pulled over Bill Gates, who was the least likely to invest!
Steve Jobs is recognized as a genius in the United States, but in the United States, there has never been a shortage of geniuses.Among the people of the same era as Joe's gang leader, there is a guy who is even more genius than him, and that person's name is William Henry Gates III, and people are used to calling this guy Bill Gates.This guy who is the same age as Qiao's gang leader is an out-and-out genius, maybe it's no longer enough to describe him as a genius, because he has created countless firsts!
Needless to say, Gates's brilliance in this life is needless to say, but what many people may not know is that when Gates was still working hard in the basement to develop the basic interpreter, Jobs had already become synonymous with personal computers and was worth millions.In 1977, when Mr.
Jobs rented a high-profile booth at Computex West for $5,000 to launch Apple's second-generation product, Appleii, Mr.
Gates met his idol Mr.
Jobs as one of thousands of fans, marking the first encounter between Mr.
Gates and Mr.
Jobs.This meeting also opened the curtain of love and killing between the two geniuses.At that time, I am afraid no one would have thought that the first encounter between the two people at this computer exhibition would become a prelude to the changes in the American IT industry for more than 20 years!
The contradictions between Microsoft and Apple are well known, and business competition is continuous, before the new century, Microsoft took the lead, but after the new century, Apple has sprung up again, and counter-oppressed Microsoft.The bosses behind these two companies have always been a pair of old rivals.In fact, when the two first started, there was no contradiction between the two, on the contrary, because they were fans of Qiao Gangmaster, Gai Shoufu still wanted to cooperate with Qiao Gangmaster, but the arrogant Qiao Gang Leader refused the olive branch handed over by Gai Shoufu, which opened the curtain of love and killing between the two.In the late 70s, Qiao Gang temporarily led the richest man in the world, but as the richest man began to cooperate with IB in 1980, the richest man became a money digger at that time, and his worth quickly surpassed Jobs and became the richest man in the world.Four years later, Microsoft has been thriving, but Gates didn't think about playing alone, and in 1984, Bill?
Gates brought Excel, ORD, and Chart to Apple to negotiate with Jobs, but Jobs directly rejected Gates, and Gates turned around and sold the product to IB, which also meant that the first cooperation between Gates and Jobs failed.Since 84 years, Microsoft has been climbing steadily, and with the advent of the DOS operating system, it has made the richest man in the world the richest man in the world.On the other hand, Apple, Qiao's gang leader was forced to resign, but the company still insisted on bundling software and hardware, ignored partners, and did not give partners compatibility technical support before the development of the new system went on the market, so as to drive all partners away, and the glorious era is gone, until now, the company is about to declare bankruptcy.And in the past ten years, Apple's patent litigation against Microsoft has not stopped, although all this has nothing to do with Qiao's help, but there is no doubt that Microsoft and Apple have been in a tight relationship over the years.Under such circumstances, Jobs pulled an investment of up to $1.5 billion from Apple's rival Apple at the most critical juncture, of course, at the price of 18.2 million Apple shares with preference!
The money saved Apple from the stake, and in return, Apple dropped its copyright infringement lawsuit against Microsoft and built Terexplorer and Office into every Actosh.In a sense, this time it was the richest man who saved Joe's gang leader.Of course, this is also the only time that the Joe gang has sold Apple's shares on a large scale after returning to Apple.In fact, Yang Jing is also very greedy for these 18.2 million preferred shares, and he bought so many shares for $1.5 billion, and the price per share is only $825.It's just that Yang Jing knows very well that these stocks don't belong to him, and he can't do it even if he asks for it.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 the Joe gang, the KY investment fund at this time also belongs to the category of the vampires on Wall Street.The second is that if you move this share, it will inevitably trigger a certain equivalent of space-time paradox.Although Yang Jing coveted the 18.2 million shares, he didn't want to lose a lot of treasure because of these stocks.At this time, Apple's shares are not difficult to buy, but no one buys them at all, and those shareholders of Apple have no one to take over even if they want to sell their shares.At this time, it is easy to get involved in Apple, and there is no need to lose a lot of treasure for those stocks.However, when it comes to the stocks bought by the richest man for $1.5 billion, Yang Jing is also a little embarrassed.It is true that the richest man is a genius, but his genius is not in this aspect of 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 not be released into common stock until three years later.And in August 2000, Steve Ballmer, who had just become CEO of Microsoft, decided to start cleaning up these stocks in Microsoft's hands.Because at this time, Apple has not yet launched the iPod, in fact, it is only a few months away.If Apple's iPod had been launched before August 2000, I am afraid that the richest man and Ballmer would not have been in such a hurry to clean up this batch of stocks.The 18.2 million shares of Apple stock cashed out $18.2 billion for Microsoft at the time, with a return on investment of about 20.But at that time, neither the richest man nor Ballmer would have imagined that if they could have the patience to continue to hold these stocks, the market value of these stocks would be as high as $9.1 billion in fifteen years!
The richest man and Ballmer can only pay for their investment vision, because they have earned $89.5 billion less: bow and thank the "blood killer" for the 1000 tip, and the "very lazy fish" 100 for the tip.
