Steve Jobs was worried that the situation would deteriorate further, because the conflict between the board of directors and Ye Dongqing, the major shareholder, would endanger the stability of Apple, and he even came up with this bad idea of delaying the operation.

In fact, Jobs also knows that as long as Ye Dongqing retreats this time, the independent directors of the board of directors are likely to make inches in the future, and continue to let Apple develop according to their ideas in the future.

Ye Dongqing definitely didn't want to see Jobs delay treatment for this kind of thing, and in addition, he couldn't back down, so he had asked his assistants to prepare various response plans before he reached a conclusion, and the best way was to unite the shareholders and re-elect the list of members of the board of directors, and then start planning to add the number of directors and other matters.

In the past, Ye Dongqing didn't think about meddling too much, all he thought about was helping to plan after investment, in order to earn profits through stock appreciation and dividends in the future, just like investing in Amazon, Tencent and other companies.

However, at that time last year, Apple's shares were treated as junk stocks with no potential, Ye Dongqing successfully bought a large amount of Apple shares through warrants and options and other trading means, and the progress was much smoother than he imagined, and when he came back to his senses, he was already Apple's major shareholder, holding almost nine times the shares of the second largest shareholder.

Recently, with the continuous delivery of warrant contracts, he suddenly found that he already had such a big right to speak, and his mind was also active, rather than letting others manage the company, of course, he thought that it was better to take back the power in his own hands, not easy to mess up, and easier to seize the opportunity, confident to bring Apple to a new peak.

In this case, the board of directors has become an obstacle, just they are in opposition to him on the appointment of the interim CEO, and naturally Ye Dongqing has used the topic to play, he hopes to balance the board of directors, restore the management system of shareholders in power, the recent contradictions mainly come from the replacement of the old and new management rights, the old side is unwilling to let go, and the new side is not willing to let go.

Since it is a struggle, there will always be a high and low winner, Ye Dongqing does not want to be the losing side, just made up his mind, decided to raise the premium to forcibly take more than half of Apple's shares, and link the list of large and small shareholders from top to bottom, while ensuring his right to speak, he can ensure that he can get more benefits, and the price is nothing more than that the current starting price will increase and can be afforded.

There is a special elite team dedicated to dealing with various issues for Ye Dongqing and his company, and specific matters such as acquisitions are left to them to deal with, the four independent directors of Apple who have opposing opinions are on the blacklist in his heart, if the increase in holdings is relatively smooth, they will not be able to jump for long, these guys underestimate Ye Dongqing's financial resources, and also underestimate his confidence in Apple, since they have decided to go against the grain, they should be prepared to suffer the consequences......

During the day at Facebook's headquarters, he met with executives from a well-known architectural design firm called the Smith-Group and showed them a concept of the building.

According to the other party, the first draft will be determined within ten days, and the specific design work may take up to four months, designing a skyscraper at least 500 meters high, and it is not a wooden house built by someone else's family.

The initial overall design cost is as high as 20 million US dollars, including the whole process from design to supervising construction, the current embarrassment is that even the land has not been bought, Ye Dongqing needs to go to New York, ask about the land sale, he must get as soon as possible in terms of location, area can make him satisfied with the construction land, the funds are no problem, as long as the design is completed, the construction can start soon.

In addition, he also talked with Mr. McCord about Apple's problem, during which he also learned about the fund-raising situation in recent times, and learned that Freshwater Investment Group was only willing to accept the news of 20 billion US dollars, and the wealth management products of Freshwater Fund suddenly sold well, and recently planned to gradually kick out small investors, if anyone redeems it, they will not continue to sell to them, and compared with these troublesome small investors, it is undoubtedly more worry-free to cooperate with financial predators.

The stall was bigger and it was not easy to manage, and one after another after finishing the backlog of things that he had accumulated during his absence in Silicon Valley, he happened to receive a call from Miss Marhi, telling him that he was preparing to return to Paris and was deliberately transiting through New York.

So on March 7, Ye Dongqing also bought a few first-class tickets and took his people back to New York, the flight between New York and San Francisco is almost six and a half hours, if there is something to sleep on the plane, it is not too late to rush back.

I got on the plane at 9 p.m. on the West Coast and arrived in New York in the early hours of the morning, when the sun had risen above sea level and the statue of Liberty holding torches aloft.

I slept back to New York from San Francisco, I didn't wake up at all during the period, and after the delivery of the 747 customized from Boeing, there will be three big beds inside, and it will be more comfortable to take a plane at that time, and the business is expanding globally, and Ye Dongqing likes to travel, and there are more places where he uses planes in his daily life, so why make so much money if he doesn't enjoy it.

Asked Miss Mahi to meet on the island next to Long Island, Ye Dongqing couldn't wait to see this renovated island, Assistant William just told him the offer of several mainstream helicopters a few minutes ago, it is estimated that he will choose Black Hawk helicopters, performance and domineering appearance are placed there, several Bell Helicopter products are also very good, he wants to see the real product, feel it before making a decision, several sales representatives will come to contact him for a test drive.

Riding from JFK International Airport to the island, Miss Mahi had just set off when he arrived, so he walked around the stables first, and the stables were renovated into a stylish red and white wooden house, surrounded by black-painted railings and surrounded by large green meadows.

The clutter of primitive vegetation has been removed, planted with North American red maple and evergreen lawns, flowers and shrubs have been planted together, and there are traces of just construction everywhere, and workers are moving various sculptures to the grass and placing them according to the designer's vision......
