774 Take control of Apple
In fact, at this shareholders' meeting, Li Feng wanted to re-elect the board of directors.
Yes, it is to further control the board of directors, this time Li Feng does not want to increase the number of directors on his board of directors, after all, the previous three places are enough, and if you want to increase the number of places, then Apple will simply let Li Feng personally buy it, after all, you alone have the final say on the board of directors, so what are the others playing, so Li Feng will be completely isolated in Apple.
However, although Li Feng will not increase the number of directors on the board of directors, it does not mean that the rest of the allies do not want it, no, the shares in the hands of the Rockefeller, Morgan, Roosevelt and other families are actually relatively small, and it is just a simple investment.
However, after several companies united, it was found that the shares were close to 5%, and such shares can actually seek a place on the board of directors, of course, this needs to be proposed and supported by someone in the board of directors.
Of course, such an increase in the number of directors will inevitably compete with the original board members for power, which requires the efforts of all parties, or co-opt or suppress, it can be said that in recent days, Apple's board of directors and the major shareholders behind the scenes have been very lively and communicate frequently.
The main reason is that Li Feng's proposal was very sudden, and suddenly said that an extraordinary shareholders' meeting would be held, and because Li Feng's supporters were strong enough, the shareholders' meeting had to be held, and such a sudden decision caught the original Apple board of directors and the shareholders behind it off guard.
......
"John, you're here, long time no see!"
"Hi... Steve, long time no see, how are you doing?"
When Li Feng walked into the Apple building with Kenny and the others, he saw the Qiao gang leader with someone to greet him, after all, he had been fighting in secret before, although he couldn't see anything on the surface, but the Qiao gang leader still greeted with a cold face.
"Larry, Bill, I didn't expect you two to be there?"
After replying to Jobs, Li Feng greeted the two bigwigs beside him, and put Steve Jobs aside, which made the Apple bigwigs embarrassed for a while, and his face was naturally worse.
"Hehe... , John, Apple has been very lively recently, and Microsoft is also one of Apple's major shareholders, so we will naturally come over this extraordinary shareholders' meeting. Gates laughed and explained to Li Feng.
Although Microsoft missed the opportunity to invest $1 billion in Apple, it spent $150 million to invest in Apple in a previous negotiation and cooperation, which Li Feng is clear about, after all, Apple has its own needs and needs to acquire and expand, and seek to others.
"Don't look at me, I'm just a very insignificant small shareholder, so I'm here to join in the fun, by the way, John, do you think we should talk before the shareholders' meeting?"
"Huh...?"
Hearing the interjection of Larry Eric, the boss of Oracle and a madman in Silicon Valley, Li Feng couldn't help but look at Jobs and Bill Gates on the side in confusion after saying that he knew with a light 'um'.
At this time, Li Feng understood a little that these two bigwigs should be peacemakers when they appeared here at this time, and the relationship between Li Feng and these two bigwigs was really good.
......
Gates classmates don't talk about it, Li Feng's career has no competition with others, and he has recently cooperated, so the relationship is naturally close, and Larry Eric, a Silicon Valley madman, has a bit of a similar smell with Li Feng.
At least in Los Angeles, Larry is a frequent visitor to Li Feng, and is pulled out to play from time to time, this big guy is one of the focuses of Hollywood actresses, investing in movies from time to time, of course, as an investor, you can also hug a heroine or something, enjoy a lace news, which is commonplace for a high-profile Larry Ellison.
From time to time, Hollywood can appear Larry Eric, the Silicon Valley tycoon, and a certain actress, what investment movies, yacht parties, etc., including Eric's children are famous in Hollywood.
Of course, because of this, Li Feng, a Los Angeles bigwig, is also one of the most important candidates for Larry's friendship, and the two are also similar in terms of women and enjoyment, such as both love luxury and enjoy life.
In addition to Larry Eric and Bill Gates, there are also the current No. 2 people in Apple behind the three, that is, the future Apple CEO Cook, the future Apple boss is very low-key at this time, after all, the few bigwigs in front of him are really a bit tall compared to themselves.
Seeing Li Feng looking at him, Cook also hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, only Steve, who was in the middle, had a black face.
Obviously, the current situation has made the always strong Qiao gang leader very faceless, but the Qiao gang leader knows that if he can't pass this level and is really kicked out of Apple again like in the 80s, then he Jobs will become a 'joke' in the entire American business community.
Li Feng naturally won't say that he will drive the Qiao gang out of Apple, after all, the future Apple trillion market value still needs Qiao to support the gang leader, but he also has to let him understand that he is Apple's largest shareholder and can even determine his and Apple's future.
"OK, since you Larry said so, that's fine. Li Feng shrugged and replied to Larry Ellison, Gates, Jobs and others.
"Okay, that's right, John, I've brought a bottle of '77 RomanΓ©e Conti with me this time, and I'm just in time for you to taste it. β
"Wow... , Bill, you've done your best to make a difference!"
"Haha... , nothing, isn't such a good wine just right to greet friends?"
"Haha..."
ββ¦β
β¦β¦
The group quickly left everyone's eyes and went to an office in the Apple building, after greetings, Gates personally poured Romani Conti who had already sobered up for everyone, and after a while of greetings, Kenny, Gates and others were left to chat in the hall outside, while Li Feng took Eric Schmidt and Jobs, Cook, and Larry Ellison into the private small conference room in the office.
"John, you made Apple and Steve lose a lot before!" Seeing that everyone was a little embarrassed and speechless after sitting down, Larry, the peacemaker, suddenly broke the silence by saying first, and said to Li Feng jokingly.
"Well, I'm just sobering someone up. β
"John, what's in it for you to do this, you know that Apple is the majority shareholder. β
"Hehe... , Major shareholder, I, the major shareholder, are almost speechless at Apple, so what do you want Apple to do, just smash Apple, at most billions of dollars, I can afford to lose, what do you think, Steve?" Li Feng responded directly to Qiao's gang leader.
"You..."
"John, Steve, calm down. β
"Larry, you should also be considered an insider, you say, when he Steve just returned to Apple, he needed to control Apple to get the right to speak, who gave him full support, I asked Eric to fully support him on the board of directors, so that he could completely gain a foothold in Apple, and now that he is in power at Apple, he thinks that I will go under the knife, you say, if someone in Oracle is against you, what will you do?"
"It's... John, Steve may have done something wrong before, of course, and now he has been punished, but I still hope that you can work together as before, and I think Apple will achieve the glory it deserves with your cooperation, isn't it?"
"Larry, if you do something wrong, you need to take responsibility for doing something wrong, and for the sake of what has happened, I have also made some commitments on my side, which need to be passed at this meeting, and there will be two additional executive director seats on the board of directors, and I will propose, and then one of my three agents will become the vice president in charge of the finance department, and this is my request that must be answered. β
"You...!" Hearing Li Feng's reply, Jobston, who was still sitting, stood up and stared at Li Feng, and couldn't help but change color.
β¦β¦
If Li Feng's requirements are met, Li Feng will basically have the final say in the future board of directors, the original 7-member board of directors has now become 9 people, and Li Feng previously held three seats, and now he is adding 2 people, although he is not the representative of Li Feng himself, but they are all allies, so they will occupy 5 seats and the majority.
And the seat that was originally occupied in the company was just a supervisory job, and Apple didn't take much care of it, but now it is directly involved, no wonder Jobs can't help but change color.
"Do you think you'll win the shareholder meeting?"
"Steve, I talked to you before the meeting to give you face, you see, it's the shareholders' choice. Li Feng took a document directly from Eric Schmidt at this time, handed it to Jobs, and then replied.
"This is..."
"Hmph... It's a 54% grant of Apple's total shares, and I guess that's enough, isn't it?"
β...β
Sure enough, as Li Feng's words fell, the Qiao gang leader, who was still flipping through the documents, suddenly turned blue, and even his hand flipping through the documents was shaking, showing the unpeace in his heart.
After all, Li Feng directly threw out 54% of the shares, which means that the next shareholders' meeting is actually like a formality, so to speak, as long as there are no big mistakes in the future, Apple is completely controlled by Li Feng.
