Chapter 42 Apple shares in hand

In Apple's conference room, the atmosphere was very solemn at this time, and everyone did not speak, but looked at Mike Macula. After all, Steve Jobs, Wozniak, and Roffyn are all partners who have experienced starting a business in a garage together. And Bao Zixuan didn't want to buy their shares, and Mike Makula has fulfilled his mission as an angel investor, and it's time to bring in capital that can grow for the company.

Wozniak: "Mike, that's the matter about the Black Cloud Company's stake, he said Bao Zixuan's words to Mike Makula. But he didn't say that Bao Zixuan didn't want to dilute their shares, and he was afraid of losing his passion for entrepreneurship.

After all, sacrificing shares is inevitable now, and Apple computers without black cloud office software are just big toys at best, so angel investors can only be sacrificed.

Mike Makulla: "I understand what you mean, as an angel investor I can exit, but I want to get the dollars I deserve, without me Apple would not have been able to grow so fast, I want to be able to meet with the people of Black Cloud." ”

Jobs: "That's no problem, tomorrow morning the package of the Black Cloud Company will come to the company to discuss the details of the cooperation." You can negotiate with him first, and if not, we're thinking about the next steps. ”

Bao Zixuan had dinner with Joe Johnson and went back to the hotel without even drinking alcohol. After all, it is not allowed to drink alcohol in the United States if you are not under the age of 21. He didn't want to be caught by an unfamiliar client.

Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan came to Apple, and at this time, Bao Zixuan and Mike Macura sat opposite each other in Wozniak's office, and the two exchanged a few words before getting to the point.

Mike Makula: "You're younger than I thought you were, Bag. Apple was supposed to be an investment for me, but since I got into contact with these young people, I've regained my passion for my work. To be honest, I don't really want to quit, with the work attitude of these people, with the addition of black clouds, Apple will definitely be able to develop rapidly. So yesterday I thought for a night, I can sell most of the shares to you, I need to keep a part. How's that!"

Bao Zixuan: "It's not impossible, but if you want to keep the shares, the price may have to drop to a certain extent, after all, I have to lose a lot of benefits to ensure that you retain the part of the equity." How much do you want to keep. ”

Mike Makula: "Of course, I want to keep 5%~10% of the shares, it depends on the price you offer. ”

Bao Zixuan: "I don't want to waste my energy in endless business negotiations, I can create more value when I have that time in the laboratory and in front of the computer." You now have 30% of Apple's shares, I want 25%, and you can transfer it to me for as much as you say. ”

Mike Makura: "I'm also a technologists, and I understand what you're thinking. I will sell 25% of the shares to you for $5 million. ”

Bao Zixuan: "You're sure Apple is worth $20 million." ”

Mike Makulla: "I don't know for sure, but with the combined efforts of Black Cloud and Apple's founders, it will soon surpass that number. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Okay! You're right. As long as everyone works hard, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished, and there is nothing that cannot be achieved, and there is nothing that is not worth it, we should believe that Steve and they are all geniuses, maybe Apple will be worth 200 billion US dollars in the future, who knows. I agreed, happy cooperation!" He stretched out his hand to Mike Marcus, who reached out to shake it.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the outcome of the negotiations between Bao Zixuan and Makula in the conference room, because if they couldn't reach an agreement, all the plans would have to be reversed, and everyone's shares would be diluted, which was related to everyone's vital interests.

Mike Makula said to everyone: "I have reached an agreement with Bao on my shares, I will transfer 25% of Apple's shares to Bao, and he will be one of us in the future." After speaking, he was the first to applaud.

At this time, Bao Zixuan asked the lawyer introduced through Larry Brown to start drafting the contract.

Bao Zixuan has to sign two contracts, one is an equity transfer agreement with Mike Macula, the other is a software licensing agreement and a loan agreement with Apple, voting rights issues, and the support that Heiyun will provide to Apple.

There are several main aspects, Bao Zixuan bought 25% of Apple shares of Mike Marcura for $5 million, and injected $5 million into Apple in the form of loans for development, and if Apple is unable to repay, then $5 million automatically becomes 10% of Apple's equity. Dilution from other shareholders' shares. Black Cloud Office has licensed Apple to use its software for $10 per computer. And part of the source code was opened to Apple to rewrite parts of the program based on Apple's system. It can be better integrated with the Apple system.

After signing the contract, Bao Zixuan handed the prepared checks to Mike Makula and Jobs, respectively. After everyone had a simple working meal in the cafeteria, Bao Zixuan was ready to go back to school.

Blackcloud left two employees to approach Apple, and they wanted to implant Apple's version of Blackcloud Office software in the next batch of Apple computers. After successfully taking a stake in Apple and Microsoft, Bao Zixuan knows that history is changing a little. According to normal development, these two investments alone can propel him to the position of the world's top ten richest people.

And in an apartment in Los Angeles, a tall beauty was sulking in the room, when his economic man came over after answering the phone and said: "Beckie, you passed the audition, and the second female lead in this play is yours." You're going to have to behave!"

That's right, Bao Zixuan promised to invite the beautiful woman he met on the plane to dinner, but he didn't expect to be too excited to forget everything after negotiating with Apple, and Brooke Xiaosi is still imagining what restaurant to go to eat!

Brooke Shield's agent is a middle-aged woman, 45 years old this year, who has been working in Hollywood for 20 years, and has seen too many performances of young girls Huaichun, and has also seen stories of beautiful women wanting to marry into wealthy families. Looking at the expression of this girl as big as his daughter, he knew that he might have been fascinated by the boy he met on the plane! And the other party went out with several bodyguards to follow, and he saw it with his own eyes at the airport. He wanted to persuade the little girl.

said: "Brooke, are you thinking about the boy you met on the plane, I advise you not to have such thoughts, that is very dangerous, you are now in the rising period of your career, too many scandals will reduce your popularity, the most important thing is that you and the other party are not the same kind of people, you are a star in front of the general public, a darling under the spotlight." But among many rich people, it may be just an object, a lover, and a plaything. Now you don't have too many unrealistic ideas, focus on making movies well, so that you are the real you. ”

Brooke Littles: "I see, don't worry! "But as a girl who has been in love since she was 13 years old, how can she give up easily, it's just that these things can't be said to the economic people.

Bao Zixuan didn't know that because a kind word at that time would cause so much trouble to a girl, it may be that Easterners and Westerners think differently!

At 9:30 p.m., Bao Zixuan and his entourage returned to Boston International Airport, looking at everyone who was a little tired, but full of energy. Bao Zixuan said to everyone: "You have worked hard these days, let's go find a place to drink some wine." Relax. Just go to the Pink Restaurant. ”

"Long live the owner. At this time, everyone began to coax and say.

Zhang Zhan drove two cars with people, 7 people when they went, and now only 5 have returned, and 2 people have to assist Apple in implanting the software before they can come back, and the game department picks up their employees at the California airport, and they have to work there for a long time with LinkedIn.
