Although Li Mu is an Internet person through and through, he has implemented the settlement principle of both supply and demand of the real economy to the fullest.

When buying things, Li Mu pursues the settlement later, and when selling things, Li Mu pursues the payment first, in short, because he is in an absolutely strong position, he instinctively wants to strive for more advantages and convenient conditions for himself.

Apple's top management is also very clear about this, and they also did this when the iPod was in full swing, letting the foundry produce first and then settle the settlement, and let the dealer pay first and then receive the goods, which reduced the risk for themselves while reducing the financial pressure.

Now, Li Mu asked Apple's top management to sign an agreement to delay payment first.

Apple's stock price will inevitably collapse tomorrow, and Li Mu will first temporarily get the equity from Apple's shareholders, and then pass the company's privatization resolution with more than 66.6% of the vote, and then apply to the Nasdaq to privatize Apple at a price of $3.5.

NASDAQ has a high probability of agreeing to Li Mu's Grandtai-style privatization plan, and as long as NASDAQ nods, all tradable shares will immediately start a forced repurchase, and the privatization will be completely completed.

However, for the sake of maximum security, Li Mu has to put the money for the acquisition of Apple's shareholder shares until it is successful.

Apple's shareholders almost quickly came to a unanimous conclusion, in their opinion, Li Mu did not take the opportunity to slash them is already considered benevolent, although there may be a certain delay in the collection time, but at least Li Mu did not make any form of changes to the previously negotiated price.

So, Tim Cook led the team and rushed to Makino Technology in the twilight.

In this line, there are more than 20 representatives of Apple's major shareholders, lawyers for shareholders who did not show up and core team members with options, and hurriedly set off for Makino Technology, the two companies are not far away, and in less than an hour, Tim Cook and his party are sitting in the conference room of Makino Technology.

There are two completely different situations in the Apple group, the core team members led by Tim Cook came to Makino Technology this time not only to sign and sell their shares, but also to lay a precursor for the next entry into Makino Technology, and as for those shareholders who are not usually involved in the actual operation of the company, they just want to sign and confirm quickly, and then wait to get their money back, and then completely disconnect from Apple.

Li Mu had been fighting with the team since early in the morning, and when Tim Cook and his party arrived at the company, he was seizing the break time to rest on the sofa in his office.

After making the Apple team wait for twenty minutes, Li Mu, who was a little tired, came to the conference room to meet the team.

As soon as Li Mu entered the door, more than 20 members of the Apple team in the conference room stood up one after another and said in unison: "Mr. Li is good." ”

Of the more than 20 people in the Apple team, each of them is older than Li Mu, but everyone's expression can't help but be a little awe-inspiring.

The capital market never looks at age and qualifications, it looks at the absolute value of assets and resources, with Li Mu's current capital and resource volume, even if Li Jiacheng is dozens of years older than him, he will be a head shorter than him, not to mention Apple's "defeated men".

However, Li Mu didn't put it on the shelf, nodded and smiled at everyone very politely, and then said: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, it's really a bit of a high load today, so I took a break in the office for a while." ”

Tim Cook hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, your counterattack today is so perfect and impeccable. ”

Li Mu smiled slightly: "It's just a little simple and rude, it's not perfect." ”

After speaking, Li Mu said again: "It's really a little late today, so let's get straight to the point now." ”

Tim Cook nodded hurriedly: "Please speak." ”

Li Mudao: "I have asked the legal counsel to prepare a new contract template, compared to the framework agreement we set before, only the payment time has been modified a series of terms, you can take a look at it first, if there is no problem, we can now complete the contract process." ”

The details of the previous contract have already been communicated and agreed upon by both parties, and the changes are only independent projects, and with the presence of lawyers, such changes are confirmed very quickly.

Li Mu asked to sign the contract now, and the Apple team naturally had no opinion, and the law firm that Makino Technology cooperated with in the United States specially sent a team of lawyers to Makino Technology to be stationed in Makino Technology, and they quickly came to the conference room with the revised contract and sent the contract to each Apple team member one by one.

Apple's shareholder group is very large, in addition to a large number of large and small shareholders, there are more than 100 team members with Apple options, and it is naturally impossible to sign them one by one, so most of the small shareholders and team members who hold options have signed a concerted action agreement with some shareholders present, so that these people present today have covered all of Apple's non-tradable shares, accounting for 80.11% of the total, and correspondingly, the voting rights are also 80.11%.

If Apple had adopted a two-tier equity structure, the proportion of voting rights would have reached 100% by using the strategy of weighted voting rights, but for Li Mu, there was no difference between 80.11% and 100% of voting rights.

After the contract was taken out, the opposing party's lawyer began to conduct a routine review, and because there were few changes, the speed of the review was also very fast, and after ten minutes, Apple's lawyer representative recognized the entire content of the agreement.

Tim Cook breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, we have no opinion on the contract, we can sign it now." ”

Li Mu nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Then please sign as soon as possible, and we will hurry into the next round." ”

Tim Cook and the rest of the team looked at each other, and everyone picked up the pen on the table and signed their names.

Li Mu, as a representative of Makino Technology, also signed each contract, and then exchanged with each signatory, all contracts were exchanged, and Makino Technology has temporarily owned 80.11% of the shares, and the time limit is two months.

Strictly speaking, the apple has now changed hands and become Li Mu's apple, the only prerequisite is that Li Mu himself does not regret it, so in Li Mu's opinion, there will be no more changes in this matter.

After the signing was completed, Li Mu first shook hands with Apple shareholders one by one, and politely thanked them, which means that they basically no longer have anything to do with Apple, and this handshake is equivalent to routine work after the transfer of rights.

Subsequently, Li Mu shook hands with the members of the Apple team one by one, and a considerable number of them will become Li Mu's future employees, so Li Mu's attitude is particularly enthusiastic.

Li Mu put Tim Cook last in the handshake, and when he shook hands with Tim Cook, Li Mu said to him: "Tim, I hope you can officially join Makino Technology as soon as possible!"

After speaking, Li Mu added very solemnly: "as-soon-as-possible!"

As fast as possible!

Li Mu's words made Tim Cook feel particularly moved, he never thought that Li Mu would value himself very much, but Li Mu's attitude at the moment unreservedly showed that he really valued Tim Cook and couldn't wait for him to join Makino Technology.

So, Tim Cook also said very seriously: "Mr. Li, I and the members of the Apple team also very much hope to join the great company of Makino Technology as soon as possible!"

Li Mu nodded: "I will complete the privatization of Apple as soon as possible, and at that time, you will help me do the big integration after privatization." ”

The acquisition of a company like Apple, the workload of thorough integration is huge, the acquisition between enterprises, the easiest is that the business complements each other without conflict, the most troublesome is the mutual penetration of the business, once there is mutual penetration, it is necessary for both sides to independently measure, formulate a comprehensive integration plan, including the team, resources, products, direction and even future strategy of both sides.

This is like if Ali Bar acquires ofo, the former only needs to bring the latter in, and then give it a bearing platform and a user entrance, the whole will not be very troublesome, but, if Ali Bar acquires JD.com, the integration after the acquisition will be a huge project.

Makino Technology acquired Apple, in the Mac business, Li Mu is not difficult to integrate, Makino Technology does not have this business, after taking it in, just directly supply blood to it, however, the iPod business is to completely penetrate into the Mango business, which involves, to integrate all the resources of the iPod into the Mango team, and at the same time to take its essence, to remove its dross, only in this way can Mango have a better development.

In addition, Apple has a lot of resource accumulation in the field of hardware and software, which should be classified, and then delivered to different products and departments of Makino Technology, and even to the industrial layout of Makino Technology outside itself, such as Shenzhou, whether Shenzhou will do a certain degree of resource integration with Apple's Mac in the future, these are issues to be considered in depth.

Tim Cook naturally knew the complicated work behind this, and immediately nodded and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, please rest assured, my team and I will go all out!"

Li Mu bowed his head in satisfaction, and then said to Lin Qingya: "Qingya, tomorrow we will hold a discussion meeting on whether Apple will privatize it, and arrange for a lawyer to be present." ”

Louis Martin knew that Li Mu wanted to make an internal resolution first, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Li, all the shareholders of Makino Technology have already signed a concerted action agreement with you, you actually have 100% of the voting rights of Makino Technology, and now Makino Technology owns 80.11% of Apple's shares, and at the same time, it is equivalent to you have 80.11% of Apple's voting rights, you can make the decision to privatize Apple yourself, and it is fully in line with the legal requirements." ”

Li Mu suddenly realized that he is now the controlling major shareholder, and his equity and voting rights are more than 66.6%, so he can make decisions on behalf of Apple.

So, Li Mu said to Louis Martin: "Louis, instruct my in-house counsel to draft a resolution, and then draft a privatization plan for the NASDAQ, the sooner the better!"
