Ye Dongqing said part of it, keep part of it.

He wants to maintain a certain position in the company, and if he gives everything at this moment, how can he continue to play the role of Apple's "savior", and if he wants to win the board of directors, he must make other scattered shareholders realize that he is still useful and can help them make more money.

Only in this way can Ye Dongqing ensure that he will have more say in power, and at the same time must acquire more shares, maybe with his help, Apple can break through the $1 trillion market value mark faster, it may be worth betting.

After returning that night, Jobs sent someone to secretly collect all the information needed to make a mobile phone, mixed the technology he really wanted with other information, and asked people to help him investigate.

This is a handheld computer released in the nineties, a very failed handheld computer, I don't think it will be taken too seriously, Ye Dongqing has just reached a verbal agreement with Jobs, asking him not to release unnecessary good news in the short term, to maintain the stability of the stock price within a reasonable range, and Ye Dongqing promised to provide funding, management support, and cooperate with each other to complete the "i" series development plan.

The reason for keeping the stock price stable is naturally because Ye Dongqing wants to buy more shares, in a sense, this is a sideline ball that violates insider trading regulations, Tim Cook didn't hear it, and Jobs didn't say yes, judging from the reaction, it should be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Compared with the previous life, the plan to develop mobile smart terminals was secretly advanced by more than half a year, and Jobs knew the importance, so the news was controlled in a small group, and only a few people knew about it.

Third-party companies have been asked to help upgrade security measures, and lawyers have begun to draw up more demanding confidentiality plans, preparing to axe several projects, bringing in capable hardware engineers from within, and trying to recruit a new group of employees.

Now that Tamsui Investment Group has become Apple's current largest shareholder, it naturally has the right to claim a place among the eight board members, and when those warrants are obtained, they can add two or three more places, which is still far from a word, and Jobs must persuade them to approve his and Ye Dongqing's plan, in fact, to the shareholders they represent.

Ye Dongqing, on the other hand, is busy negotiating with a gentleman named Bill Campbell, the current chairman of Apple's board of directors, who has been in office since 1997, and the focus of the talks between the two is to promote the development plan of mobile smart terminal products and install a member on the board of directors.

In fact, there is no actual controller of Apple at present, and it is the company's board of directors that controls it, because Apple has no controlling shareholder, and it is difficult for many shareholders of Apple to use their own rights to determine the composition and decision-making of Apple's board of directors, and the shareholding structure is too scattered, and infighting is also an important factor restricting Apple's development.

The current eight members of the board of directors represent about 37% of Apple's shares, although they are scattered, but they are not as dispersed as Ye Dongqing was reborn, when more than 2,000 investment institutions became shareholders of Apple, so Ye Dongqing was able to successfully get close to 20% of the shares, involving the company represented by the three board members.

They didn't care about the current Apple company, so they agreed to sell Apple shares in the form of warrants or cash transactions, since the equity has changed hands, or is about to change hands, the board seat will naturally be transferred to him, Ye Dongqing's board seat requirements are reasonable.

In the governance structure of modern companies, the board of directors is the highest authority of listed companies, Apple's directors are nominated by the board of directors, and then approved by the general meeting of shareholders, who the directors are has little to do with the shareholders, they are responsible for helping to manage the company, has formed a small circle, the current CEO Steve Jobs is also one of the board members.

Fortunately, the shares have not been dispersed to the point where they cannot be effectively managed, and until today, Tamsui Investment Group has obtained six percent of the shares, and there are almost 14 percent of the shares outside, which are controlled by Ye Dongqing in the form of warrants, so he has a little confidence when discussing this matter.

He will soon be able to sway the rest of the shareholders and concentrate on a controlling stake, at which point the current power of the board of directors will be severely weakened, as Steve Jobs is worried about his CEO.

The power struggle within the board of directors is also quite exciting, Ye Dongqing has met with a representative of Disney in the morning, and the other party has expressed his position on behalf of Mr. Robert Iger, chairman and CEO of Disney, saying that he will support him to enter the board of directors, but at this moment, Apple Chairman Bill Campbell is now here to touch the dust.

This guy relies on the old and sells the old, as an important person who overcame public opinion in 1997 and brought Jobs back to Apple, this old man has been in charge of Apple for more than six years, and his ability cannot be said much, just look at Apple's current market value, it can only be said that it is average.

There is a vision, sitting opposite Ye Dongqing at the moment, holding a cigar between his fingers and saying: "I admit that your plan is very good, very, very good, but don't think that this can dictate to the board of directors, as long as I am in office for one day, I must be responsible for other shareholders!"

To be honest, I'm worried that your ambition is too big, and you haven't stopped even if you have already got so many shares, and you are almost about to contact all the major shareholders with a shareholding ratio of more than 0.5%, don't you know how much it will cost?!"

"That doesn't scare me, Mr. Campbell. ”

Ye Dongqing crossed Erlang's legs, shook his head with a smile on his face and said: "My Tamsui Investment Group has money, and there are millions of dollars more on the books every day, as long as the shareholders are willing to sell, I will continue to increase my holdings until I am close to the controlling stake, which you can't stop."

But that doesn't mean we can't work together, agree with my development plan, Apple will make money in the future, and I promise to give you more rewards. I'm not sure about the others, but as long as you're willing to help me this time, and stand on my side, until you die or have Alzheimer's, I will never let you leave Apple's board of directors, and even give you another job, similar to Google, as a consultant on my Facebook, how about it?"

Bill Campbell not only works at Apple, but also serves as a consultant to Google and Amazon......
