The day after Li Guangyu arrived in Santa Clara, he and Yuan Tianfan attended a fundraising meeting at Apple in San Jose.

When Li Guangyu and Yuan Tianfan came to Apple, they were greeted by just an executive of the company, and there were no giants of Apple.

Tianyu Investment Company is not yet well-known in the United States, and Li Guangyu can understand it. However, Li Guangyu did not believe that Apple's senior management did not know about his other industries, and knew that Li Guangyu would personally participate in this financing meeting, but still only arranged for an executive to receive him.

As for the financing negotiations, Yuan Tianfan has reached an agreement with Apple in the past few days, and the main reason attending this meeting today is that several investment companies have signed financing contracts with Apple.

When Li Guangyu and Yuan Tianfan came to the conference room under the guidance of the administrative staff, there was no one in the conference room, and Li Guangyu felt that he had come early.

After a while, Apple Jobs, Wozniak accompanied some people into the conference room.

Wozniak came to Li Guangyu and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Yuan, welcome to you. ”

At the same time, Wozniak also introduced several companies to Li Guangyu and the others who attended the financing.

After listening to Wozniak's introduction, Li Guangyu understood why there was no high-level reception for him. Jobs and Wozniak have gone to meet these three major investment banks, although Li Guangyu has some assets now, but compared with these major investment banks, the gap is too big.

In addition to Apple executives and Li Guangyu, the meeting was attended by Elanly Hairington, general manager of Goldman Sachs' California branch, Jason Wall, general manager of Merrill Lynch's California branch, and Corey Lancosti, general manager of Bear Stearns' California branch, as well as their respective assistants.

In order to prevent an investment bank from controlling their company, Jobs gave 20% of the equity in the first round of financing to four investment companies, and each company only got 5% of the equity.

On behalf of Apple, Steve Jobs welcomed several major investment banks to Apple, saying, "Your investment in Apple will definitely be your most successful investment." We at Apple are on the road to success, our goal is to be the first in the industry, I think this goal will be achieved soon, and I am confident in our next products. ”

Regarding Jobs's wild words, the general managers of several other major investment banks were noncommittal, although they were more optimistic about Apple's development. But to become the number one in the industry as Jobs said, several general managers are not very convinced, at least in the short term.

Then Jobs told several investment bank leaders about the company's next products, the reason why it is sometimes said that Jobs is an artist, just look at the products he designed. He is a person who pursues perfection, and the products he designs are all good-looking, as for whether they can adapt to the market, this remains to be tested.

In the subsequent contract signing, Li Guangyu and his four investment banks each invested $3 million to occupy 5% of Apple's shares, and Apple's final valuation was $60 million.

This has to say that Jobs has to thank Li Guangyu, if Li Guangyu didn't come in and intervene, Goldman Sachs valued Apple at about 50 million, and Li Guangyu wanted to get a part of the shares, which raised Apple's valuation by 10 million US dollars.

Yuan Tianfan originally negotiated with Jobs, the price could be higher, and Tianyu Investment Company ate all the shares of this financing, but unfortunately Jobs did not agree.

After signing various contracts, Lee Guangyu and his team visited various departments of Apple under the guidance of Steve Jobs.

After Li Guangyu and Yuan Tianfan left Apple, Elanli Hrington, general manager of Goldman Sachs' California branch, came over and said, "Mr. Li, are you interested in having a cup of coffee together?" ”

Li Guangyu didn't know what Elanlee Harrington was looking for him for the time being, but he was also curious about Goldman Sachs, so he agreed to Elanlee Harrington's invitation.

After Li Guangyu explained to Yuan Tianfan, he followed Elanlee Hairington to a café.

After Li Guangyu and Elanli Harrington both ordered a cup of coffee, Li Guangyu asked, "Ms. Herrington, do you know what is the purpose of asking me to come?"

Elanlee Hairington is very curious about Li Guangyu, who is only twenty-five years old and has become the general manager of Goldman Sachs' California branch, but he is far from Li Guangyu. In addition, Goldman Sachs was originally engaged in investment, and Li Guangyu has too many companies that have not been listed, and now he has established contact with Li Guangyu, and it will be good to enter and get a piece of the pie in the future.

Elanlee Herrington said: "Mr. Li, I have learned about your deeds, you have developed such a big career in just two years, I admire your talent very much, so I want to get to know you today." ”

"Miss Hairington, you've won the prize, and I'm lucky. My talent can't be compared with you, and you are so young as the head of Goldman Sachs' California branch shows that Goldman Sachs attaches great importance to you. Li Guangyu said.

Elanlee Hairington said: "Mr. Li, there are many groups under your name that have developed very well, but I found that the vast majority of your companies are not listed, the only listed company, or you bought it in the stock market, what is the reason for this?"

In the United States, the company wants to go public when it develops to a certain extent, but the thinking of Oriental people is not the same, if it is not for the lack of money, many company founders are not willing to go public, because after listing, many things are not decided by themselves.

"Ms. Hairlington, my company is just getting started and I don't plan to take it public right now. Li Guangyu said.

Li Guangyu's major companies in Xiangjiang have no plans to go public, while RB and the United States plan to go public in the future. In this way, we can win over more alliances of interests and develop in other countries, and it is not good to develop by eating alone.

Elanlee Hairington also hoped that Li Guangyu would think about going public, and Goldman Sachs would make a little benefit in it, but she was slightly disappointed when she heard Li Guangyu say this.

"Mr. Li, if you have the idea of going public in the future, you can consider cooperating with Goldman Sachs, I think we can achieve a win-win situation. ”

Li Guangyu is very clear about Goldman Sachs' ability, and once ranked above Morgan, you must know that Morgan Investment Bank belongs to the Morgan family, and Goldman Sachs can suppress it to show its ability.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Helrington, I think we will have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future, and in the future, my company will be listed, and the United States will be our first choice, and I also look forward to cooperating with you Goldman Sachs." ”

Elanlee Helington was also happy to hear Li Guangyu say this, although she was unable to reach cooperation with Li Guangyu for the time being, but with Li Guangyu's words today, in the future, Li Guangyu's company will be listed in the United States, and Goldman Sachs has undoubtedly taken the lead.

"Mr. Li, I look forward to your company coming to the United States to be listed as soon as possible, and at the same time, any acquisition business in the United States can also be handed over to Goldman Sachs, we have a professional acquisition team, I think this can reduce a lot of trouble for you. Elanlee Hairington said.

"Ms. Hairington, if I have this need in the future, I will definitely contact you Goldman Sachs. Li Guangyu replied.
