Li Mu had to admit that the feeling of a hammer apple was really not an ordinary pleasure for him!

This feeling is like a crushing assault on boxing champion Ali, but it is a trip back in time to beat the boxing champion Ali when he was three or five years old.

However, this also makes Li Mu feel enjoyable, anyway, there is no juvenile enterprise protection law in the financial industry.

As a person who was reborn from the future, Li Mu has respect for Apple, but this respect is not enough to offset the threat that Apple will bring to Muye Technology in the future, so as a qualified businessman, Li Mu has no feelings and no respect in his heart, and some are just life and death.

Just imagine, if you don't interfere with Apple's development, a few years later, the iPhone swept the world, and the APP-Store has become Apple's powerful money-making tool because of the success of the iPhone, and Apple's toughness is notoriously known, at that time, Makino Technology's YY and other applications, launched in the APP-Store, but to hand over 30% of all value-added income to Apple, what kind of shackle does it have to be?

Just imagine, Apple relies on the iPhone and iPad to quickly gather the profits of the global hardware industry into its own pocket, that is not 11,200 billion, that is hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars, Li Mu does not have the ability to go to the Middle East to grab trillions worth of oil, but there is still a chance to grab Apple's future market value worth trillions of dollars.

Now, Apple has been beaten by its own punch, Microsoft has come over and released a black foot, if it continues to increase the pressure on Apple, Apple will inevitably not escape bankruptcy and bankruptcy, and Apple's current size is far from large enough, and the US government will not see its potential, let alone stand up to protect it.

Therefore, Li Mu feels that the possibility of acquiring Apple is very high, Apple has plummeted into such a bird, who else will be willing to take over except himself? Even if there are people who take over, it will definitely keep the price extremely low, for himself, money is not the most important thing, even if he gives Apple a little more premium, it is very worthwhile to win this company.

Moreover, Li Mu does not simply want to become a shareholder of Apple, or a major shareholder, or a controlling shareholder, he thinks that as long as he can get Apple's existing major shareholder, become the controlling shareholder of Apple, and have a majority of voting rights, he can apply to the NASDAQ to take the initiative to privatize Apple, buy back all the Apple shares in the hands of institutions and retail investors, and then let Apple delist from the NASDAQ.

Once the acquisition is completed and the privatization is completed, Apple will become a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Makino Technology, in that case, there may no longer be an Apple company in the future, Li Mu can wave his hand at any time, let Apple integrate into Mango, from then on, Apple becomes a mango, the pride of the future Americans, and becomes the adopted son of Huaxia Enterprises.

Li Mu carefully considered the feasibility of this, and carefully deduced the operation mode after the acquisition of Apple, Apple's greatest value is not Jobs, not Tim Cook, not anyone, but Apple's core technology and products, now, Apple's operating system team is large enough, and has made MacOS 7788, on the basis of Apple's technical background, and this R & D team, he can make the IOS system without Jobs, and he can also make the iPhone, and iPad。

For Apple, Jobs is a strategic commander, and product manager, in that era, Jobs's strategy can be described as invincible, but as a witness to all his efforts, and witnessed the miracle of Apple's market value skyrocketing from $300 billion to $900 billion after Jobs' death, Li Mu is no longer superstitious about Jobs's "Almighty God" image, as long as Apple's technical background and R&D talents are given to themselves, and there is a Tim Cook who understands the market. A CEO who doesn't pretend to be forced, Apple, or Mango, will surely be a big success.

……

In order to witness the collapse of Apple's stock price, Li Mu and Li Ziwei stayed up until four or five o'clock in the morning, Li Mu slept soundly on the sofa in the office for a few hours, but almost all he thought about was how to acquire and privatize Apple.

Li Ziwei returned to her office, did not take a break, but immediately contacted the interface person of Sequoia headquarters, for Sequoia Capital, a company like Makino Technology is simply their biggest investment project at the moment, and it is also the most optimistic investment project, so the entire Sequoia Capital, from top to bottom, everyone maintains 7x24 hours for Makino Technology service.

On the phone, Li Ziwei conveyed Li Mu's request to Sequoia's intermediary, informing them that she hoped that they could send an executive who was proficient in U.S. stock operations to come over and interview Li Mu as soon as possible, but Li Ziwei did not tell Sequoia what the reason and purpose of Li Mu's request was.

However, Sequoia Capital is a group of old foxes, Li Mu just hammered Apple half to death on his front foot, and then he had to understand the capital operation of the U.S. stock market, which must not be for Makino Technology's own IPO, it must be related to Apple.

Could it be that Li Mu wants to take advantage of the collapse of Apple's stock price and buy Apple? !

Sequoia Capital can't see any prospects for Apple in the future, the operating system has been pressed by Microsoft, the progress of the computer business is not so promising, the most capable of making money iPod and iTunes now seem to be almost dying, such a company, if you let Sequoia look at it, the investment value can not even reach the C level.

However, even if Sequoia was surprised, they did not dare to snub Li Mu, so they immediately sent a senior VP to take the private jet of the boss of Sequoia Capital at six o'clock in the afternoon of US time and hurriedly flew to Huaxia.

At six o'clock in the morning of Yanjing time, the plane took off from the United States, because the range of medium-sized business jets is not enough, so the plane needs to land in the middle of the way to replenish fuel, normally speaking, the overall flight time needs to be about 15 hours, when the plane landed in Yanjing, it was the time when the U.S. stock market opened on Tuesday.

……

Wall Street, New York.

All the capitalists are still immersed in the cliff-like collapse of Apple's stock price today.

This time, they saw a different kind of power.

A force that is not at the capital level, but purely targeted at the business level.

When the business level suffers a devastating blow, any capital operation is meaningless, just like today's Apple stock price, the whole world is full of news about the launch of Mango-ME2 by Makino Technology, and YY users all over the world have almost become YYtunes users in just a few days.

And this also allows people to see the strength of Makino Technology, a company that started with software, his only hardware product line is Mango-ME, and this product line, with only two generations of products, has destroyed an Apple that has been rooted in the hardware field for decades, this offensive ability is simply incredible.

Capitalists can't help but speculate that with such a terrifying existence as Makino Technology, if it wants to announce an IPO one day, what a crazy capital feast it will be?

Cupertino, California.

There was a thick haze at Apple's headquarters.

The members of the board of directors all had serious expressions, and for them, today was the end of the world.

The blow from Makino Technology is like a huge meteorite about to hit the earth, and judging from the defense capabilities that the earth has, it will not play any role in blocking it at all.

An hour before the market closes, the results of the investigation released by the senior research company in the United States showed that the recovery strategy formulated by Jobs can basically be said to be useless.

Even if Apple cuts the iPod 3 by 10%, more than 90% of potential users still give up on the purchase.

While the board members were sitting in the conference room without saying a word, another thunderbolt of news fell from the sky:

Throughout the day today, Apple received statistics from Apple-stores and agents and dealers across the country, and the number of consumers they received for after-sales sales in one day has reached more than 500,000.

What's even more numbing for Apple's scalp is that most of these consumers are not here to receive the 10% subsidy, they are here to return the goods......

Apple's no-reason return policy is that within 14 days after purchase, it is infinitely close to the time limit of 10% price difference for users to subsidize within 15 days they just formulated, so what Apple didn't expect is that basically all consumers who meet this time have applied for returns, instead of taking away the 10% subsidy.

Returning the goods, and then waiting for the Mango-ME2, is the greatest desire of these users.

This is not only because the Mango-ME2 is better designed and cost-effective, but also because YYtunes is so easy to use, and these days, music lovers all over the world are obsessed with online socializing with music lovers all over the world.

Michael Jackson's hit songs have been commented on more than a million times, which perfectly reflects the user's love for this software.

In the past few days, YYtunes has given birth to hundreds of "opinion leaders" with tens of thousands of fans around the world, and the deep cross-learning and learning of users has begun to play an effect.

Under the influence of YYtunes, users are more looking forward to Mango-ME2, because Makino Technology said when it released Mango-ME2 that Mango-ME2 will be deeply integrated with YYtunes. Jackson's song not only downloaded the lyrics and highlight commentary at the same time, but when listening to the song, he can also see how many of his friends have also heard the song through the Mango-ME2's display.

Because Mango-ME2 does not have a network module, can not access the network, so this kind of information can only be downloaded through the PC, and then synchronized to the player through the data cable, but even so, it also makes Mango-ME2 from a simple player, to the level of half of the "Internet hardware", social and interactive information can be synchronized into Mango-ME2, to Mango-ME3 or 4, maybe you can consider replacing the color display, The IFI display module was added, and by that time, it would have half of the features of iTouch.

From the perspective of future generations, this innovation seems to be nothing, but in this era when the mobile Internet has not yet been born, it is definitely a huge surprise for users to be able to donload more Internet information onto their own mobile hardware.

And who knows what kind of interesting attempts Makino will make between YYtunes and Mango-ME2? So, owning a Mango-ME2 is the most important thing right now.

Since the iPod in your hand is in the return cycle, why not return it and wait for the cheaper, better and more compelling Mango-ME2?
