Li Zetian left his office and went to the reception room to meet with several guests, including Thomas Rockefeller. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Apple's financing is not just looking for the Rockefeller consortium, Li Zetian wants to bring in more consortiums, and the declining California consortium is one of his goals.

California is the largest arms production base in the United States, so industrial companies controlled by the California consortium, such as Lockheed Aircraft, Litton Industries, and Northrop, are mainly arms producers. However, the largest voting rights of the Bank of America are the financial core of the California consortium, but its largest voting rights have been controlled by the Morgan consortium and the First Citibank consortium, and as a result, the control of these munitions companies has gradually begun to fall into the hands of the large eastern consortiums, and the power position of the California consortium has been relatively reduced.

As a Chinese-American, Li Zetian does not have the luxury of being able to control a powerful US arms company, but through the infiltration of capital, he can have a certain say in these companies.

The vast majority of consortia have the background of arms companies, and if Li Zetian wants to establish the Li family consortium, he naturally needs an arms company to rely on, and he also needs to establish a private security company, and if he himself is one of the directors of the arms company, it will be convenient for him to buy arms products.

This is just for Li Zetian personally, for Apple, the two major consortia can bring huge resources to Apple, including advanced technology, broad contacts, excellent talents, huge orders, economic and policy support, and so on!

Li Zetian pushed the door and walked out, and there were four people sitting in the reception room, one was Tian Shuai, and the other was three, one was Thomas Rockefeller, the representative of the Rockefeller consortium, and Kozmo Warren and Dick Clare, the representatives of the California consortium.

Thomas Rockefeller was in his thirties and forties, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a black suit and a purple tie, and was leisurely sipping coffee.

Kozmo Warren was not tall, fat, with big eyebrows and big eyes, and was about forty-five years old.

Dick Claire was a tall, lanky old man with a white beard, and his piercing eyes flashed from time to time.

Li Zetian smiled and took the initiative to say hello to them, and then sat on the other side of the negotiation table with Tian Shuai.

Li Zetian said: "Wall Street values Apple at $5 billion, I wonder what you think about this?"

Thomas Rockefeller shook his head and said, "Wall Street companies are obviously too optimistic about Apple, and the Walkman is indeed very popular now, but it does not mean that it will continue to be popular." I'm afraid it won't be long before other companies launch similar tape walkmans. When the time comes, will Apple still be able to monopolize the market?"

Old man Dick Claire chimed in: "Just as Apple-ll PCs are facing many competitors today, the Walkman will be in the future!"

In this regard, Li Zetian did not deny that Sony may have been developing a tape Walkman.

With the strong strength of Sony, it is definitely a fierce rival of Apple!

Li Zetian pondered for a while and asked, "What is the valuation you give to Apple?"

Thomas Rockefeller, Dick Clare, and Kozmo Warren looked at each other for a moment, and finally Thomas Rockefeller said, "$4 billion!"

"I think Wall Street's assessment is very accurate, and Apple's market capitalization should be worth $5 billion!! "Li Zetian bargained, "I believe that before other companies launch products, the Walkman may still occupy the entire market, and the market will gradually become saturated, and users will become sticky." Moreover, with the leading position and popularity of the Walkman, people want to buy the Walkman, and the Walkman is also the first choice, and even if other companies launch similar products, it is difficult to compete with the Walkman, unless there is an epoch-making innovation and disruptive technology...... However, it is clear that neither of these is possible!, therefore, the Walkman will dominate the market for a long time!!"

"Mr. Li, the $5 billion valuation you mentioned is based on the success of the Walkman, what if the Walkman fails? You know, we are taking a huge risk by investing in Apple!" Kozmo Warren said in a deep voice.

Li Zetian suddenly smiled, he said: "If the Walkman can be successful all the time, Apple's market value will be more than $5 billion, and it is precisely because the future is unpredictable that I reluctantly recognize Apple's market value of $5 billion! I'm sure even with a $6 billion valuation, there will be people willing to invest!"

Li Zetian's tone was very firm, and the three people on the opposite side were very helpless, Apple's benefits were very good, and countless investors rushed to invest, but if they didn't invest, naturally someone would invest. Now it's Apple that picks investors, not investors who pick Apple......

The three of them looked at each other and nodded, and then Thomas Rockefeller said: "Mr. Li, if the valuation is $5 billion, it will be $5 billion, and the two of us will invest $1 billion together, with the Rockefeller consortium contributing $600 million and holding 12% of the shares, and the California consortium contributing $400 million and holding 8% of the shares." In addition, we have a few small requests. ”

"What are the requirements?" asked Li Zetian.

"We found out that Apple also has a Star Wars movie company under its umbrella. Apple is a high-tech company, and it is not a proper business to set up a film company, and it is still investing in science fiction movies that have no market, which will undoubtedly make the Wall Street gang lower their rating of Apple. If the company goes public in the future, this is bad news! I think that before the movie is released, the Star Wars film company will be split first. Thomas Rockefeller said.

Li Zetian didn't answer immediately, he turned his head to look at the other two, "That's what the California consortium mean?"

The two nodded.

"In that case, then split up Star Wars Films, count it in my personal name, and hold 100% of the shares, and I will make up the $9 million to Apple! In addition, Apple also holds 50% of the shares of Industrial Light and Magic, and I think it will be transferred to my personal name, of course, I will also come up with a sum of money to make corresponding compensation. Do you think it's okay?"

"Alright, just do as you say!" Thomas Rockefeller said with a smile and a nod. The other two also nodded, no opinion.

"What else do you want?" asked Li Zetian.

Thomas Rockefeller's eyes were fixed on Li Zetian's eyes and asked, "We want to know what the relationship between this Umbrella Company and you are? You established Apple Corporation, and the majority shareholder of Apple Corporation is Umbrella Company; you establish Microsoft Corporation, and the majority shareholder of Microsoft Corporation is Umbrella Corporation." It's hard not to be reminiscent of your mysterious relationship with this company......"

The other party doubted himself, Li Zetian was actually not surprised, he was the founder of Apple and Microsoft, but he held a small number of shares, which is obviously not a normal situation in the United States. Generally speaking, it is impossible for a founder to sell more than 50% of the shares when seeking venture capital.

At this moment, Li Zetian thought in his heart, it is time to create a second offshore company, as the saying goes, "three holes of cunning rabbits", in the Internet era, he will change to another offshore company to secretly control, and then this company is making dozens of offshore subsidiaries of it, and through these subsidiaries to control those Internet companies, I don't believe it, you can still suspect me. Umbrella simply admits that it was created by itself, and sometimes, people need to show their strong strength to make the other party fearful. The umbrella company is a sword in your own hand, see who dares to bully yourself!!

This other offshore company is called Times Technology, the umbrella company is in the light, and the Times Technology is in the dark.

One light and one dark, complement each other!!

After a while, Li Zetian smiled and nodded: "That's right, the Umbrella Company does have something to do with me, because this company was founded by me! Of course, this kind of trick is okay to hide from some ordinary people, but it definitely can't be hidden from you powerful big conglomerates!"

"That's !! so"
