Chapter Seventy-Nine: Interview
At this time, the reporters' mouths were like machine guns and kept asking questions, and the "long guns and short guns" in their hands kept shooting at Li Zetian!
"Chronos, how did you come up with the idea to create Apple?"
"How much stake do you have in Apple?"
"Is it true that I heard that Apple is preparing to go public?"
“……”
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong!
Li Zetian looked at the surging reporters and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but this kind of thing will come sooner or later, and he can't escape. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Li Zetian organized the language for a while, and then said: "By chance, I discovered the 8080 microprocessor of Intel, and suddenly, a trace of inspiration flashed in my mind, I thought, I can make a microcomputer! So, I established Apple and developed the first generation of personal computer Apple-l. However, during the development process, I encountered a lot of difficulties, first of all, I did not have enough funds to support me to develop the Apple-l project, in order to get investment, I found dozens of venture capitalists, but none of them were willing to invest in me, just when I was desperate, a company called Umbrella promised to invest 300,000 US dollars, but asked me to sell 60% of the shares. I thought about it again and again, and finally agreed!" Li Zetian originally planned to let Umbrella Company hold full shares, and he personally did not take shares, but he felt that it was too fake, and a founder did not have shares in his hands, which was completely unreasonable, so he later transferred another 40% of the shares to himself. Of course, there are many ways to make your shares scarce and unnoticed, such as establishing a few more overseas offshore companies and then transferring them to them, and the shares on the surface will naturally be less.
When the reporters heard this, they couldn't help but envy the good fortune of the Umbrella company, which invested $300,000 at the beginning, and a year later, the rate of return was as high as hundreds of times or even thousands of times! This is probably the most wonderful venture capital in the history of American business!!
There is no doubt that from this moment on, the Umbrella company began to make a name for itself!
Li Zetian continued: "The funding problem was temporarily solved, but the development of the Apple-l project was not all smooth sailing, and after we spent $300,000, we finally made Apple-l. However, when we took it to Time magazine and hoped to get their help, we ran into big trouble! We didn't expect that there was a big bug in the Apple-l personal computer, and as soon as we turned it on, the computer burned out! Oh my God, it was undoubtedly a devastating blow to us at that time! We had to find the Apple-l bug and redesign it, but we were at the end of the mountain and had no money!!
When Li Zetian said this, he deliberately stopped, looked at the reporters, and found that these reporters were all attracted by his half-truths and half-truths!
Li Zetian smiled secretly, and then said: "Is Apple going to be finished? Yes, I really thought so at the time. When I was dying, it was my fiancée who helped me! She not only stayed by my side to encourage me, but even gave me all her savings for more than ten years! Although it was only $100,000, it was undoubtedly the last straw for Apple at that time! It can be said that without the support of my fiancée, I might not be where I am today and Apple !! today."
Saying that, Li Zetian hugged Yu Jingqiu tightly and kissed her affectionately, not realizing that he was embarrassed to sprinkle dog food in front of all reporters!
Yu Jingqiu's cheeks were slightly red, looking a little shy, but at the same time she felt extremely happy.
You must know that after this interview, the video recording will be broadcast in the United States and even the world, and all the viewers in front of the TV will see Li Zetian kissing her.
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu embracing each other affectionately, and couldn't help but express their blessings to them, especially for Jingqiu, and nodded their heads one after another.
"As the saying goes, 'Behind a successful man there must be a great woman', is true!!
"yes, I really envy Chronos・li for having such a woman behind her!"
"Talented men and women, a natural pair!"
"That's right!"
“……”
Hearing their voices, Yu Jingqiu's ears turned red.
Li Zetian let go of Yu Jingqiu's small mouth at this time, turned his head to look at the reporter, and continued: "Apple-l finally succeeded, becoming the world's first personal computer, and bringing huge revenue to Apple. Although my fiancée didn't say anything when she gave me $100,000, I thought the $100,000 was financing Apple, so the board decided to give her a 10% stake!
Bang Bang Bang!
The reporters couldn't help but applaud when they were moved!
"As for the question that everyone asks about Apple's listing...... Actually, I also have this plan, but the details are kept secret for the time being, so I have no comment!"
The reporter asked, "Chronos, Wall Street values Apple at $1 billion, do you think this valuation is reasonable?"
"I believe that Apple's market capitalization will be more than $1 billion!!" Li Zetian said firmly, then clapped his hands and said loudly, "Okay, everyone, this is the end of today's interview, please don't bother me and my family again! I won't answer any more questions!" Li Zetian said.
Seeing that they could no longer ask any questions, the reporters withdrew one after another.
As soon as the reporter left, the neighbors next door came again. When the reporters were interviewing, they stood at the door and eavesdropped.
The convenience store aunt was shocked, Apple's market value is 1 billion, and Yu Jingqiu owns 10% of the shares, which is 100 million US dollars, my mother, I didn't expect that Yu Jingqiu, the daughter of the owner of the fast food restaurant next door, is also a billionaire! Oh my God, I introduced my son to her before!
When the convenience store aunt thought of this, she felt very embarrassed, and she didn't dare to look at Yu Jingqiu's eyes. Before, she still thought that Yu Jingqiu was hypocritical, isn't she just pretty, what's the big deal, she is not the daughter of a small fast food restaurant owner, her son is a white-collar worker in the company, and he gets a salary of $1,000 a month. But now it seems that his son doesn't even make one-thousandth of Yu Jingqiu's money...... Not to mention Yu Jingqiu's fiancé!
Alas, people are more angry than people!
Other people's children are younger than their own sons, but they have become billionaires, why are their sons so useless......
The convenience store aunt shook her head and said in her heart, it is better to let her son quit his job and start a business than to work for others!
……
In the news program that night, a number of television stations in the United States broadcast a video of this afternoon's interview with Li Zetian, which caused a sensation in the United States for a while.
Chen Ruoxi also watched this news interview. After reading it, she yelled and screamed like crazy, and smashed things around, and in a few moments, the whole house was in shambles.
In the end, she sat down on the bed, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were blank looking at the ceiling, and she muttered to herself: "Li Zetian actually gave Yu Jingqiu 10% of Apple's shares, which is worth 100 million US dollars! No, that 100 million US dollars should have been mine, it was mine! Yu Jingqiu robbed me of 100 million US dollars......
If Chen Ruoxi knew that the 10% of Apple's shares would far exceed $100 million in the future, and even exceed the market value of Wang An Computer Company, maybe she would go crazy directly......
