Chapter 347: Temptation

At this moment, the Scully executive vaguely felt that Su Mu wanted to buy himself to help him become a lobbyist and persuade the Apple shareholders to be honest through such a harsh merger...... His heart was moved.

In 1985, when he first got rid of Steve Jobs, he received a $5 million equity dividend and set up an option award of up to $8 million.

In the past three years, his annual salary has been maintained at $2.3 million, and he has proposed the idea of raising his salary, but was rejected by the board of directors, and at this moment he knew that Su Mu wanted to pack up his things and leave, but he could get $20 million in "severance pay", stimulated by huge interests, his anger suddenly subsided, and he felt that it was not impossible to discuss this matter.

As Su Mu said, as the CEO, no one knows more about Apple's business than Mr. Scully, in 1983 and 1984, when the market share reached its peak, it was able to compete with IBM, and then it plummeted, not to mention IBM, even Penguin was about to surpass it, and fell into a strange circle of higher market share and worse company performance.

Swallowing his saliva, Mr. Scully said to Sumu, "You promise it's true?"

"Swear in God's name. Su Mu casually said when he had believed in this old man.

"Hmm...... I'm going to relay what you mean to the shareholders, and if you're willing to pay to help Apple regain its glory, I think there's a chance to get through this merger. ”

Scully is looking for a step for himself, at present, Apple's liquidity is more than 200 million, and it is enough to maintain daily operation, where do you need to let Su Mu pay, what Apple lacks at the moment is not money, but the correct development ideas, and it has been running farther and farther on the detour.

Just last year, in order to avoid dealing with disputes, Microsoft had the idea of buying Apple as a whole, and at the same time obtaining another operating system, it could also enter the field of personal computer manufacturing and realize the simultaneous development of software and hardware, but in the end, I don't know why, Gates gave up this idea.

Speaking carefully, even Gates's vision is a little smaller than Su Mu's, his ambitions are among the best in Silicon Valley, looking at the more than 9,000 startups in Silicon Valley, how many people like Su Mu are trying to cross the two industries of software development and hardware manufacturing, and they really do it?

No.

Su Mu is the only one who wants to tinker with the so-called "Internet ecological chain".

The ecological chain of hardware manufacturing, he has no chance to complete the unification, the technology is in the hands of other companies, the market is also in their hands, not to mention that it takes a lot of money to get involved, the investment cycle is relatively long, and it is difficult to say whether it can succeed in the end, only small-scale shareholding can be held, and it is unlikely to monopolize the market.

Therefore, Su Mu is quite interested in Apple's patents and R&D strength, as long as he can win Apple, it means that he will make a big leap forward in the field of personal computer manufacturing, so that Penguin is no longer just an "assembly factory".

"It's best to succeed, remember to tell me their decision after asking, then I'll wait for your good news?"

Mr. Scully nodded and said, "OK, I'll take you downstairs......"

There was no agreement on the intention, there was no point in further discussion, and the members of the accounting firm he arranged would still review Apple's accounts, and Apple would also check Penguin's accounts.

A merger could take a year or even years, and it was only after years of deliberation that Lockheed and Martin Marietta recently announced the merger in an attempt to form one of the largest arms companies and jointly use technology to compete for military orders.

Shortly after the end of the Gulf War, in this war, the US military used a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, with the help of satellite technology, to achieve precise target strikes and reduce the number of casualties.

It can be said that the Gulf War was built up with money, not by human lives like a traditional war, and only Iraq was used to fill in the gap, and for a time orders for US weapons rose sharply!

The arms dealers made a fortune, the oil traders made a fortune, and when Lily heard about it, she smiled playfully and whispered to Su Mu that this was a promise that Bush Sr. had made to his supporters before completing the campaign.

In the 90s, the consortium seemed to have disappeared, but it was ubiquitous, and the capitalists and businessmen deeply influenced the country's official leadership, and now Su Mu is doing the same, and it can be said that he has also promoted the improvement of the IT industry tax, and this way of using policies to bring benefits to himself is really wonderful.

After waiting patiently for a few days, Apple has not given an accurate answer, and from the news he learned, the company has serious internal divisions, and this uncertainty is directly reflected in the stock market, and the dividends brought out by the merger news have been consumed.

Apple's stock price fell back to the prototype, and Penguin continued to rise, as Cisco released news that Warner Online has adopted new technology to upgrade the network provision service in California, and the cost of Internet access will be greatly reduced.

Silicon Valley has taken the lead in completing the transformation, and Su Mu has also tried it himself, and it is precisely because of this understanding that he is full of expectations for the development prospects of Cisco.

It's a pity that smart is mistaken by smart, he knows very well that the 120K network transmission speed is far from the end, thinking that this time Cisco seized the opportunity, it does not mean that it can be seized next time, between Cisco and Microsoft, he is still optimistic about Microsoft, and there is no idea of investing in Cisco.

Silicon Valley in this era is full of opportunities, Su Mu seized part of it, and missed part of it, and the news he once heard from the old radio station was too one-sided, and I don't know if he will regret it in the future.

The good thing is that Cisco's success inspired him to start thinking about whether he should also get involved in the research and development of next-generation network transmission technology.

The boost of the new network technology to the Nasdaq, coupled with the official intentions, made the enthusiasm of investment institutions and shareholders exceed Su Mu's expectations, and on the first day of July, Su Mu's worth quietly exceeded $5 billion...... ()
