"Steve, can I understand that if you have the opportunity, you would still be willing to go back to Apple, no matter what you are doing now, no matter what kind of investment you make, Apple will be your first choice?"

Jobs now understands that Zheng Yan does intend to let him join elite technology. But Jobs misunderstood, he thought that Zheng Yan wanted to keep him in Elite Technology, and he couldn't go back regardless of whether he had the opportunity to return to Apple in the future.

After a short period of thought, feelings for Apple still prevailed, "It seems that I have no chance to join Elite Technology, you are right, if there is a chance, I will still choose to go back, nothing can stop it." ”

"I once said to Larry that I'm not short of money right now, I just want to go back and fulfill my unfinished dreams. Apple is like my child, it was the shareholders who abandoned me in the first place, not Apple, and I couldn't watch it fall like this. ”

Jobs's words were impassioned, and he seemed to be trying to exclude the regret of not having access to elite technology, but Zheng Yan on the side became more satisfied the more he listened.

"Steve, if you want to finance elite technology, it's not impossible, but my conditions are not simple. You should know that before Cisco went public, I offered $100 million in exchange for 10 percent of the shares. ”

"In my opinion, maybe the elite technology in five years will not be comparable to Cisco, but in ten years it is expected to catch up with Cisco, and in twenty years, Cisco will definitely not be able to compete with elite technology. Of course, that's just my personal opinion. ”

"But even though it's my personal opinion, I stick to it. If someone else were here today, no matter what the conditions were, I wouldn't agree to the financing, but we were friends. As long as you're willing to raise $100 million, I'll give you 10 percent of the shares. ”

"At present, the shareholders of the company are just the four of us, Larry should not have an opinion, neither will my third brother and me, as for my friend Zheng Rong, there must be no problem. In other words, as long as you promise, from today onwards, you will be one of the shareholders of Elite Technology. ”

For a company, multiple shareholders are not a big problem, if the financial strength of this shareholder

, ability and prestige are the best choices, which are only good for the development of the company, not bad.

Zheng Yan can even imagine that once the news of Jobs joining Elite Technology spreads, perhaps the strategy of developing customers prepared before will be saved.

Larry Ellison, a famous playboy in Silicon Valley, plus Jobs, a genius boy in Silicon Valley, and Zheng Yan, the most famous investor on Wall Street, will undoubtedly be a good topic, and elite technology will even save the cost of publicity.

After Jobs heard Zheng Yan's words, he felt very surprised, originally thought that after saying a word, there would be no opportunity to invest in elite technology. As for the price of $100 million, although it is a bit high, it is not unacceptable.

"Zheng Yan, are you serious?"

"Of course..."

"No, you wait a minute. Before Zheng Yan finished speaking, Liu Wei suddenly jumped out and said: "I don't have an opinion on Steve's financing of the company, but is the price of 100 million US dollars in exchange for 10% of the shares?"

"Our company has only been established for about half a year, at the beginning we were 10 million US dollars in exchange for 10% of the shares, and now the users are only 200,000, the most important thing is that the company has not generated any profits except for spending money, this valuation..."

Although Liu Wei's words were not finished, everyone understood what he meant, he felt that Zheng Yan was a little open-mouthed, but as Zheng Yan's brother, it was inconvenient for him to evaluate Zheng Yan like this.

Zheng Yan didn't expect Liu Wei to jump out of these words, and Larry Ellison didn't expect it either, but the most unexpected thing was Jobs.

After all, Jobs and Liu Wei met for the first time, in Jobs's view, Zheng Yan's conditions would undoubtedly double Liu Wei's worth, but he stood up to speak for himself, which made Jobs's good impression of Liu Wei instantly increased a lot.

"Liu Wei, you run an entertainment company, and you may not know much about the Internet industry. If it was the manager of the investment company sitting here, the price given by Zheng Yan would indeed be high, but if it were me, the price would be acceptable.

”

"But in any case, I still want to thank you for your kind words. By the way, I have an animation studio called Pixar, and I will also shoot movies in the future, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with your Dragon Entertainment. ”

Originally, Liu Wei was still curious, how did Jobs know that he was engaged in the entertainment industry, and he didn't think he was famous, especially outside the film circle, but now he finally understood.

"Well, since you don't have an opinion on your own, then there must be no problem on my side. Liu Wei said indifferently.

"Zheng Yan, I can agree to your conditions. It's just that I have a doubt, I've already said that if I have the opportunity, I will still choose Apple, don't you want me to stay in elite technology?"

Zheng Yan saw the change in Jobs's expression throughout the whole process, and Zheng Yan was not surprised by the question he raised, and said with a smile: "Steve, if you are willing to stay in elite technology, of course I welcome it, and if you go to Apple, I have no opinion." ”

"Don't forget, I'm also a shareholder of Apple, and I'm probably the one who wants you back to Apple the most besides yourself. As for elite technology, isn't there still Larry, don't you think Larry's ability is not as strong as yours?"

"It's hard to say anything else, but in terms of management skills alone, I think I surpass Larry a lot. Jobs said with a pretended seriousness.

Jobs was so happy that he could even say that it had been the happiest thing in the past few years, and he even made a joke about Larry Ellison.

"Hey, Steve, that's your fault. Don't forget, although Zheng Yan agreed to your financing request, if I don't agree, you will be useless. Now for you a chance, take back what you just said. ”

“...”

Larry Ellison, as Jobs' best friend, naturally noticed Jobs's mood changes, at least much better than when they first met, so he was not annoyed, and threatened Jobs.

While Larry Ellison and Jobs were joking with each other, Zheng Yan was already thinking about how to take advantage of Jobs' joining.
