546 Apple is here, Qualcomm is here
"What do you think of John's proposal, what does he think?"
"Obviously, people have taken a fancy to your Pixar, I think, you just give Pixar to others, and you can buy most of Apple's shares with Pixar's money. Larry Ellison quipped.
"Larry, don't interrupt, you think that Apple shares can be bought with money, and even if you want to buy them, unless you pay a sky-high price, don't forget, John's kid controls more than 30% of Apple's shares.
To be honest, I can sit firmly in the position of CEO of Apple, and I really have to thank this kid for his support, but this guy is notoriously difficult, and I am worried that before I can make a move, John will completely control and control Apple, and then it will suffer. Gang Leader Qiao couldn't help but say worriedly.
"Haha... , Steve, how bad can it be, according to what you said, John already controls more than 30% of the shares, even if he controls it, if you really want to talk about it, more than 30%, John wants to initiate an acquisition You can stop it.
John is really not short of money in his hands now, and you can guarantee that those guys at Apple's board of directors and shareholders' meeting can withstand John's dollar offensive. Since this is already the case, why don't you just directly control a part of Apple's shares and fight for a greater voice.
Besides, John also said that before you retire, promise to support you 100%, isn't that enough, as for after you retire, then you can't care so much, can you?" Larry Ellison persuaded with a smile.
"Uh... Larry, you don't have to be so blunt, do you?"
"Haha..."
……
Li Feng didn't know that Qiao Gang Leader and Larry had given him so much attention behind his back, of course, with Li Feng's current weight, he couldn't pay too much attention to it.
At this time, Li Feng's heart is also happy, for Apple's happiness, think about Apple's market value of more than one trillion in the future, Li Feng's heart is hot, not to mention that this is the layout of the future mobile terminal field.
It would be perfect to be able to bring Pixar under the umbrella of the media group this time and take advantage of the chaos to get some shares of Apple again.
At the same time, Li Feng also understood that the previous proposal, it was obvious that the Qiao gang leader was still very moved in his heart, thinking of this, Li Feng couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"BOSS, Qualcomm's Jacob and his son have arrived, I mentioned it to them, do you want to go over now?" As soon as he said goodbye to Joe's gang leader, Eric Schmidt suddenly walked up to Li Feng and whispered in his ear.
"Oh, great, let's go check it out. Li Feng's eyes suddenly lit up and he replied happily.
"OK, go this way!"
"Let's go...!"
Saying that, under the leadership of Eric Schmidt, Li Feng walked towards the side of the venue.
……
"Mr. Owen, and everyone, don't disturb your conversation, is it an honor for me to listen to your high-level arguments as well?" Eric Schmidt walked into the group of people with Li Feng, and said to everyone first.
"Hello Eric and Mr. Lee, thank you for the invitation. An old man with glasses and looking in his early 60s smiled back to Eric Schmidt.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my boss, Mr. St. John Lee, and I think I don't need to introduce Mr. Lee's situation to you.
BOSS, this is Mr. Owen Jacobs, one of the founders and chairman of Qualcomm, and this is Mr. Owen's son, who is also a senior executive of Qualcomm - Dr. Paul Jacobs, both of whom are directors of Qualcomm and one of the original founding teams of Qualcomm, Franklin Antonio and Andrew Wittby. ”
Eric Schmidt smiled and introduced Li Feng and Qualcomm respectively.
"Everyone, welcome to the cocktail party jointly organized by Feixun and Google, I am St. John Lee, you can call me John, I have heard a lot of Qualcomm's name, I am very optimistic about the CDMA technology that you admire, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you. Li Feng greeted the bigwigs at Qualcomm with a smile.
"Hello John, your John's name is now a household name in the United States, I have been hearing all kinds of news about you, and now I finally know you, thank you for your optimism about CDMA technology, if there can be an opportunity for cooperation that is beneficial to both parties, I think we will not refuse, right?"
Next, naturally, they all spoke one after another, exchanged pleasantries, and exchanged business.
……
"Yes, John, speaking of which, we have cooperated with many of your companies, and in all seriousness, we are not strangers, are we?" Franklin Antonio, Qualcomm's creation boss, also said with a smile at this time.
"Oh, I really don't know, but I'm a big CDMA user, and my personal phone is based on your CDMA technology, which I think is very good. Li Feng also responded with a smile.
"John, that's it, today's military mobile phone department under the Northrop Raytheon Group, your mobile phones are using our CDMA technology, and we are not collaborators. Antonio replied with a smile.
"Haha... I see, Owen and Antonio, you have to really thank me, I proposed it after the merger with Raytheon. Li Feng responded with a laugh.
Before founding Qualcomm, Jacobs co-founded a communications technology company, mainly providing communication technology security coding and other issues for government departments such as the Department of Defense and the Space Administration.
Since its inception, the original Qualcomm also started in this regard, and Qualcomm's first contract was also signed with the military CDMA technical cooperation agreement, so it can be said that Qualcomm has a very close relationship with the government from the beginning.
As for why Qualcomm was able to win orders from the military, it is very complicated, although on the one hand, the founder of Qualcomm itself has a certain amount of influence, after all, Jacobs and they had contacts with the government before Qualcomm, but more importantly, it is naturally involved in the exchange of various interests.
For example, according to Li Feng's investigation now, among Qualcomm's shareholder group, there are some unknown investment institutions from all over the United States, and these institutions are not generally clear to people where they came from, but Li Feng learned about some of them through several former CIA and FBI executives.
……
In fact, many of these institutions have the shadow of the military and the government's top level behind them, and if they want to get orders from the military and the government, they naturally need to cooperate with the government, and even 'strengthen ties' with the US imperialist military and government leaders.
In his previous life, Li Feng, as a low-level member of China, had always heard about all kinds of corruption problems in China, and naturally hated it, but now that Li Feng has arrived in the United States and has now reached his current status, he has told himself very clearly that the so-called 'the world is as black as a crow', in fact, within the United States, if the corruption problem is really investigated, Li Feng can unceremoniously tell others that it is even more serious.
If you really want to investigate, from the White House to the houses of the two houses to the military, the Department of Defense, etc., few are innocent, but to be honest, many of them are even directly public, such as those so-called campaign funds or something, and there is naturally a gain for what is paid.
Qualcomm has received orders from the government and the military, and naturally has to pay some things accordingly, the most direct of which is the company's shares, if you really want to announce those unknown large and small investment institutions or something, if you pull out the shareholders behind the scenes, maybe the shareholders behind the scenes of the investment institutions are the military, a certain government or even some top bosses or something.
Of course, the founders of Qualcomm are not fuel-efficient lamps, and at the beginning, Qualcomm couldn't twist his arms and thighs, and he recognized them in order to win government orders.
However, as CDMA began to be more and more recognized, the contradictions naturally began, and Qualcomm also introduced more and more capital institutions, constantly diluting the shares, which also led to Qualcomm's shareholders have been very dispersed now, although this consequence has led to the continuous dilution of the shares of Qualcomm's founder team, but also to ensure the founder team's management and leadership position of Qualcomm.
……
For the various ways of it, Li Feng is naturally well versed in it.
Today's communication technology is naturally still the 2G era, or the world of GSM, Qualcomm is constantly promoting the development of CDMA technology, in order to gain market recognition, but I have to say that Qualcomm's peak has not yet arrived, but it has been on the road to the altar.
Naturally, it is precisely because it is in such a period of alternation between the old and the new that it also gives a careerist like Li Feng the greatest opportunity.
