Volume 2, The Green Years 297, the famous town of the blemish
When Andy Rubin came to him, four days had passed.
Compared to the understatement last time, this time he was surprisingly angry.
He found himself being treated like a commodity by Yi Shaofeng.
"Yi, you made my newly fledged favor for the Oriental disappear, are you so unscrupulous?"
His attitude towards Andy is completely different from Sergei's, because Sergei has changed from a technician to a businessman, and looking at Andy's life, he can basically only be regarded as a qualified technical genius.
"Andy, you should be happy, do you know how much M dollars I spent during this time to get Google to give up on you?"
"How much?"
Andy's focus was instantly diverted by him.
Everyone is curious and wants to know how many pounds and taels they have in the hearts of others, and Andy is certainly no exception.
"I prepared almost 4 billion M gold, but Sergei's determination was still not strong enough, so I only spent 100 million M gold. ”
He is telling the truth, 4 billion M gold is still his first step of thinking, if it really hurts Google, at least add so much.
"Andy, you may think I'm stupid and have a lot of money, but I think it's too rare to find someone who shares my values and ideals. ”
He's still stealing concepts.
"Yi, I think you spent this money in vain, and I will have more options, even if Google gives up on me. ”
Andy, of course, would not give in so much, and said with a stubborn face.
"Hey, Andy, apart from Google, I don't believe any other company is willing to spend money on R&D when this bubble bursts. ”
He grinned and said with a bit of sarcasm:
"I want to think about who else, Apple? they seem to have their own system, Microsoft? they seem to have Windows, Andy, I'm lonely, tell me, okay?"
Andy's face turned from white to red and then to purple.
Hitting people doesn't slap him in the face, and he was slapped a few times by Yi Shaofeng.
"You don't have to worry about this. ”
Andy twisted his head to the side like an angry child.
He stood up, looked at the window, and said in a slightly low voice:
"Andy, no matter which company is interested in buying you, I will try my best to buy that company, even if I don't have enough money, I can do it. ”
He turned to face Andy and said solemnly:
"Andy, please believe me, only our cooperation will be the greatest cooperation in the world, and the greatest high-tech products in the future will be born in our hands, think about it, what a wonderful thing. ”
"I like ham, I love Christmas, I don't like all kinds of animal offal, I don't like wearing clothes that I don't know how to button. ”
He laughed, knowing that this was the step Andy had found for himself.
At this point, of course, he will let Andy come down the steps peacefully.
"Andy, you can only stay in our country for two months a year, and I believe that even in country M, I can create the best R&D environment for you. ”
"The system I develop has to be open source. ”
Andy made the last insistence.
"It's impossible, you know, only a closed, admitted, system is stable, and I don't allow any flaws in the products that come out of my company. ”
"Open source is what we are all about. ”
"Wrong, open source will only make more people have the illusion of getting something for nothing, which is a regression in social development. ”
The two argued about this issue for half an hour, and it took him countless brain cells before Andy reluctantly gave in.
Seeing that Andy signed the contract handed over by Lin Changjun, half of the goal of his trip was achieved, which made him happy.
He asked Andy to go back to his room with him, and showed him some of the sketches he had already made.
"It's ICOD? No, no, no, it's more perfect than it, I love the abbreviated design so much. ”
Andy looked at the drawings excitedly.
He ignored Andy, who was shouting and waving wildly, and went back to the next room to rest for a while.
The negotiation just now was more tiring than doing anything, and the thought that there might be a more severe negotiation in two days gave him a headache.
For two hours, he sat on the couch and took a nap on his side.
"Hey, easy, I have a question in mind. ”
Andy rushed in in a hurry, and Ben didn't have the cultivation of a high-level intellectual.
He woke up in shock, and looked at the person in front of him with a wry smile.
It is said that technical maniacs are crazy, and he has a little experience at the moment.
"If you want to turn these drawings into real products, it will be very troublesome. ”
"It's not me, it's us. ”
"Well, you're the boss, you have the final say. ”
Andy said with a nonchalant expression, not understanding what was there to correct this.
"What's the trouble you're talking about?"
He rubbed his face with his hands to get his brain back up and running as quickly as possible.
Seeing that Andy was about to open his mouth to explain, he smiled and said:
"Let me guess, you mean you can't get around a lot of patent issues, right?"
Andy nodded confusedly.
"And these patents are in Apple's hands, right?"
"So you already knew. ”
Andy found himself feeling a loss of accomplishment and a little depressed.
"So, Andy, what do you think we should do?"
After hearing this, Andy lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said:
"I want to know, do we have patents at the moment, which ones are there?"
He chuckled, knowing what Andy was going to say.
He walked outside and knocked on Li Zijie's door next to him to ask for a document.
As soon as Rebus arrived in country M, he arranged for him to go to another city to prepare for his next work, and this time he could take Andy with him to join him.
Go back to your room and hand the documents to Andy.
For the next ten minutes, Andy was back in his madness.
"Yi, these patents of ours are fantastic, with this, we can completely talk to Apple about patent exchange and sharing. ”
After saying that, I saw him standing there smiling, but did not answer.
"Easy, if it's not convenient for you to come forward, I can find someone else to do it for you. ”
Andy thought that he could start work by changing the patent as soon as possible, and he was eager to see the sketch turn into a product.
"What if I say, I'm not going to share patents?"
Andy was stunned for a moment, jumped up when he thought of something, pointed at him for a long time, and then said:
"You want to buy Apple?"
"Andy, what's Apple's current market capitalization?"
Andy thought for a moment and said:
"When I left Apple, Apple's market value should be around 6 billion, but their market value has fallen sharply in the past two years, although with Steve's return, Apple has improved, but now it should not exceed 6 billion M yuan. ”
He knows that it is the current low tide of Apple, and there have been rumors of bankruptcy, but he really didn't know that the company with a market value of trillions of M yuan in the future is now only 6 billion.
Rebus had been learning about this for a while, but hadn't reported back to him yet, and he didn't know how it was going.
"Andy, do you think it's possible for me to buy Apple?"
"Yi, I know you're okay with the funds, but Apple's board of directors are all conservatives, otherwise I wouldn't leave, I don't think it's very likely that you will succeed. ”
He did not lose heart, but said confidently:
"What if I pay a premium?"
"Then you must at least be prepared to overflow to 10 billion. ”
He asked Andy to go back to rest first, and as for the arrangement of the office location, he handed it over to Lin Changjun.
Qu Xiaotang stood behind him, relaxing her temples with him, and she did not participate in the negotiations for nearly a day.
"You want to buy Apple?"
He hummed softly.
"Money difficulties?"
He sighed, took his head out of Qu Xiaotang's hand, got up and hugged her and said:
"Don't worry, you man and I have transformed into an unbeatable Xiaoqiang since I was 8 years old, and all the difficulties are only temporary. ”
After exercising in the evening, after a short rest, he endured sleepiness and got out of bed gently.
Walking to the outer hall, he took out his mobile phone and started calling.
"Mr. Zhang, I need a loan of 5 billion M, I don't know if you can't do it?"
He called Zhang Xiaona's second uncle.
"Xiaofeng, you know how tight the domestic foreign exchange is at the moment, if it is a domestic currency, I can still think of a way, but M yuan, it's really troublesome. ”
Without waiting for him to speak, the other party continued:
"I can help you get up to 1 billion, that's my greatest ability. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, if this is done, I will count you as a share. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Dingxi was obviously interested and asked urgently:
"What's the ROI?"
"At least 20 times. ”
He believes that 20 times has made Zhang Dingxi crazy enough.
Sure enough, the other party immediately said:
"Xiaofeng, don't worry, in addition to helping you borrow 1 billion, I will find a way to raise him another two or three billion. ”
After hanging up the phone, he called Chen Zhiyuan again.
After listening to this, Lao Chen decisively told him that the money he invested with him in country M had not been recovered, and it was arranged by him.
After hearing this, he was overjoyed, Lao Chen invested 500 million with him in the early stage, and now there are at least 20 billion.
Just when he was calculating the funds in his heart, Lao Liu's call also came.
"I heard that you are short of money, I can't take out much, at most 100 million. ”
"Thanks, Brother Hua. ”
He was not polite, but he also knew that the money was hollowed out of Lao Liu's old bottom, unless he was willing to cash out the shares of Fengshang and Huafeng.
Qu Xiaotang didn't know when he was standing behind him, and saw him turn his gaze.
She stepped forward, hugged his waist and said:
"I'm sorry, I can't help at all. ”
With enough funds, he was in a good mood, untied Qu Xiaotang's hand, picked her up and said:
"Come on, let you help me now. ”
Although Cupertino has been established since 1955, its area and population are not even as large as a county in China, and the city has only more than 50,000 people, which is a relatively livable city.
Cupertino is known as the heart of Silicon Valley, with a per capita income of 110,000 M yuan, which is considered a highly developed city.
He came here on the third day that Andy was finalised, and Andy was among them.
Because they are also in California, the trip did not take much time, and Rebus also arranged their accommodation early.
As soon as he entered the room, Rebus reported to him urgently.
"Yi Dong, according to the understanding of several of my friends, combined with Mr. Lin's investigation in the early stage, I have preliminarily sorted out the current equity distribution and structure of Apple. ”
