It's just the way time is recorded, from 1984 to 1985, and nothing else has changed.

On January 4th, Su Mu finished his housing loan and returned to Silicon Valley again to deal with Penguin's affairs, and returned home on February 19, the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Stayed until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and waited for his parents to finish moving before leaving, there were things in the new house, and he didn't take too much, Su Dingcai wanted to sell the old house in Chinatown, but Su Mu and his grandfather disagreed.

The old man agreed to move out because he had feelings for this house and made a lot of determination, and went to live in the new house for a while.

And Su Mu attaches more importance to the old radio station that does not dare to move, this is his biggest secret, God knows if he will be able to receive future news, he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what if, and he is determined to wait until the next solar storm breaks out.

Chinese celebrate the Chinese New Year, but other Americans don't have this tradition.

Young adults can't get a holiday from their bosses, so they rush home for a reunion dinner, and even if the New Year is over, more people are working outside and don't even have the opportunity to go home.

From late December to the end of February, Penguin's sales business was in a slump, mainly because of the school holidays, and the salesmen did not make enough money to pay for their expenses.

Fortunately, a telephone ordering business for private customers was opened, and advertisements appeared in different newspapers one after another, and by the time Sumu started school, cumulative sales exceeded 6,000 units, so that the company was still profitable.

As soon as the school season arrived, all the salesmen geared up and rushed to all parts of the United States in pairs.

Soon came a succession of good news, compared with the second half of last year, after the president proposed that students should start learning computer technology, most middle schools and universities were willing to purchase private computers, and in just half a month, they earned the Beverly Hills house.

Miss Black took care of the company very well, and he didn't need to worry too much about Su Mu, so he went back to Menlo Park Private High School to study, and set the time to take the SAT test in June or August, there are many exams in a year, and he chose the test time at will, and there were still a few months left to review, which seemed very urgent.

In April, Jobs left Apple, and the Queen of England signed a bill promising to return Xiangjiang to China in 1997.

Boss Han was ruthless, and selected three supermarkets at the same time, one in Beverly Hills has already opened, and the remaining two will open this month, so Su Mu's value skyrocketed.

In addition, Penguin's company makes a profit of 30,000 US dollars a day, which is equivalent to the annual income of a middle-class white-collar worker.

It's right to make money, but you don't dare to use it indiscriminately, it's all about accumulating capital for bigger business, and Miss Black is recently helping him with his research, contacting computer accessories suppliers, and preparing to create his own computer brand.

In early May 1985, the weather in Silicon Valley was already very hot, and you could go out in short-sleeved shorts.

On May 3rd.

As usual, Su Mu used the golden time in the morning to study, and he was still sharing a house with Li Zhekai and James, and they got along very harmoniously, and he had no plans to move out for the time being.

At this moment, hearing James and telling him to go downstairs to answer the phone, Su Mu put down his pen and came to the living room and found that it was Boss Han calling.

After a few polite greetings, I heard Boss Han's tone say excitedly: "Su Mu, I have good news for you! Someone is willing to buy your shares for two million dollars!"

His face was immediately wrong, and according to the current development trend, the value of these shares in his hands was much higher than two million dollars.

You can't directly use a year's profit to refer to the market value of a company, such as Qugou Supermarket, because of the use of capital investment, it is still in a state of loss, but in most of the year, it has developed from one store to five stores, showing strong growth.

The turnover and profits of the three companies that have made a profit are quite good, and the profit margin can be maintained at about six percent.

I don't usually call myself, this time it's rare for Boss Han to call, and he actually thinks of himself as a fool, the tacit understanding between Su Mu and the other party has long been exhausted, after Black Friday last year, ushered in a month-long promotion season, and the store located near Chinatown alone sold more than $1.4 million.

The second supermarket, located near the Dodge Arena, also surpassed $1.9 million in sales in the first quarter today.

Because the company is developing smoothly, he doesn't care much about the supermarket, he contacts a third-party accounting firm every half a month to check the accounts, and Du Zhong's father helps to keep an eye on the bank, Su Mu went to Du's house to visit during the New Year, and specifically mentioned the problem of capital security with this uncle who has a good relationship, Du Zhong's father patted his chest and promised that he would help keep an eye on the company's funds.

The business system in the United States is perfect, even if Boss Han is a major shareholder, he can't use the company's funds at will, and the Jewish young man Qian Helberg, after becoming the company's management, is also helping Su Mu keep an eye on Boss Han's dynamics.

The reason why Su Mu was on guard was mainly because Boss Han deliberately excluded him from the company, so it was strange not to be suspicious.

At this time, he pretended not to understand, and sat on the sofa and said in surprise: "Is it?!Two million dollars, I can sell him 10%!"

The implication is clear, Su Mu thinks the company is worth $20 million.

Boss Han was speechless for a while, and continued: "No, he wants to use two million dollars to buy 49 percent of the shares in your hand, there are not many such good opportunities, you had better hurry up and come back, two million dollars! How much money did we invest at that time?"

Sensing that he was fooling himself like a child, Su Mu laughed angrily, not believing it at all, Boss Han would not know the actual value of this company, and asked rhetorically: "Do you want to sell the shares in your hand? I am willing to pay three million dollars to buy the shares in your hands, with a premium of 15 percent, and you have made a lot of money!"

Boss Han was quiet over there, perhaps because Su Mu's answer was beyond his expectations, and he spoke after a while: "I'm not joking with you, how can you have three million dollars, I don't know how the business will be in the future, it's a good thing to sell it now." ”

"Boss Han, I'm not joking with you, I can get three million dollars, as long as you are willing to sell, I will pile the money on your table in the afternoon.

If you think it's better to sell, then I'll buy your shares, three million dollars, a penny is not a lot......"
