After talking to Julian Robertson, Xia Yu was finally relieved.

Many American semiconductor companies have been listed, but few have the opportunity to do it, and he chose AMD and Intel.

Although the other six people in the Fairchild Eight Rebellion, as well as other elites in the industry, have founded quite a few companies, in the process of development, they have either collapsed or been merged by other established giants.

As for the older computer companies, they are the leaders in the semiconductor industry.

For example, IBM, in which Xia Yu plans to take a stake, as well as Texas Instruments, Sperry Rand Company, etc., are all giants in computer-related fields.

But it's a pity that behind IBM is the Morgan consortium, behind Texas Instruments is the Texas consortium, and behind the Sperry Rand stands the Rockefeller consortium.

None of them are easy to mess with!

It's nothing to invest in a small scale, but if you want to grab it, it will definitely usher in the sight of the giants and a tough counterattack, after all, these companies are the tentacles of various consortia in the field, and not everyone is qualified to cut them.

But just as Xia Yu was about to leave the office, Julian Robertson suddenly thought of something and kept Xia Yu.

"Boss, I have a message here, I don't know if you know. ”

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What information?"

Julian Robertson said: "It's about Apple, and now Apple has started the IPO process and is looking for underwriters. ”

Xia Yu's eyes froze, it turned out to be Apple.

How could he not be clear about Apple?

And since he wants to come to the United States to get involved in the high-tech field, Apple is definitely an existence that cannot be ignored, and the market value of Apple in the future will be the largest in the world, and he has learned about relevant information before and after his arrival in the United States.

It's just that after understanding, he knew that it was too late, and there were very few opportunities to do it, and it was too difficult.

Apple has been spotted by the wolves of Wall Street, and the New York Stock Exchange has been waiting for it for a long time.

Last summer, Apple ended the last round of financing before going public, when Xia Yu was still in the United Kingdom, and his tentacles had not yet reached the United States, so he naturally missed it.

And to be honest, that financing, even if Xia Yu knew about it, it was useless, he couldn't rob the giants of Wall Street.

Apple's open financing is to absorb Wall Street capital, which will be used to expand the production of Apple II, and more importantly, to prepare for the subsequent listing.

Only by bringing in Wall Street capital will Apple be successful when it goes public and will be able to obtain a higher market capitalization.

What is given up is a part of the equity, and the value will be several times greater!

Today, Apple is the leader in the field of personal computers, and the Apple II has caused a sales boom, and the media and financial institutions have long dissected Apple's situation.

The media has given extremely high expectations that Apple's listing may create the craziest scene in the history of the United States, whether it is the scale of financing or the number of billionaires!

After Xia Yu learned about the difficulty, he planned to give up temporarily, anyway, there was an opportunity behind him, when Apple still had a trough, Jobs would be kicked out of the door, and even fell into a collapse situation for a while, at that time, Apple lost its halo, and it was possible to achieve a controlling or even privatization.

It's Apple's highlight moment, and it's not a good time to get your hands dirty.

It's just that now Julian Robertson reminded him out of kindness and asked Xia Yu to think again.

He pondered for a long time before saying, "In this way, you can see if there is a chance to enter the ranks of underwriters, if not, forget it." ”

Julian Robertson was stunned for a moment, then understood Xia Yu's attitude, nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I understand!"

......

After leaving Tiger Fund, Xia Yu thought about it and first went to the branch of Polaris Capital that was under construction closer to it.

The branch of Polaris Capital is also located on Wall Street, and because Xia Yu is not stingy with money, he directly asked Peter Lynch to buy a site very close to the New York Stock Exchange.

When he came to the company, Xia Yu found that the basic facilities had already been perfected, and there were already a lot of personnel, he met Peter Lynch's deputy, and learned that the branch construction was nearing completion, and it would take up to five days to get on track and start the investment journey.

The process is good, and all aspects are relatively in place, Xia Yu only gave a few small suggestions, and then left the company and went to the New York branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Wenhan reported the good news to Xia Yu.

After the successful launch of Jiuding News Agency's satellite, the operation efficiency of the news agency has been accelerated by 40 percent, and the timeliness of pictures and information sent through the satellite has been greatly enhanced.

After the initial run-in, Jiuding News Agency has adapted, and thanks to the improvement of the news agency, the reputation has continued to ferment, and many new partners have been added.

Yan Wenhan proposed to Xia Yu to continue to launch two satellites, and the three satellites will be combined, which will enable Jiuding News Agency to achieve global linkage, and there will be a qualitative leap in efficiency.

Xia Yu did not hesitate to this request, and immediately approved it, asking Yan Wenhan to spend more money and strive to launch the satellite as soon as possible.

After chatting about the satellite, Xia Yu learned about the situation of the three newspapers, as well as the details of the "USA Today" newspaper under construction, and also gave a lot of practical and good suggestions.

In the end, Xia Yu instructed Yan Wenhan to continue to make expansion plans, and be sure to let Jiuding Newspaper Company have at least one influential newspaper in the top 20 cities in the United States within this year.

Which newspaper giant in the United States doesn't own at least a few dozen newspapers right now?

There are even more than 100 of them!

The model is basically based on one or several top newspapers as the core, and from the inside out, it revolves around a group of newspapers that are gradually declining in grade.

Typical influence is not enough, it depends on numbers.

However, although it is cumbersome to manage, the effect is not bad, and it can be regarded as an influence all over the country.

Jiuding Newspaper already has three first-class newspapers, and will create the top "USA Today" in the future, the trunk of the towering tree is enough, it is time for the big branches to flourish!

In the past ten days, Xia Yu has been busy, running from San Francisco to Atlanta, and then to New York, with high work intensity, basically no rest, Rao is Xia Yu's physique and energy, and he feels a little tired.

So he stayed in New York for a few days, and by the way, he paid close attention to the situation in the US election.

The situation in New Hampshire has become clear, the Republican Party's long-time accumulation of power exploded at this moment, and the Democratic Party has been losing ground because of the disappointment of the people during Jim Carter's tenure.

Some media have already determined that the Republicans will take New Hampshire in half a month.

Now the Democratic Party is already discussing countermeasures.

And Xia Yu learned that Reagan also began to emerge, and Xia Yu's three newspapers also began to cheer for him.
