Chapter 529: Old Jorah Investment

For Ding Yi's potential......

Everyone is a clear-eyed person, and most of the people in the top few on the rich list are still in the state of starting a business or not starting a business at the age of twenty-four.

Ding Yi is probably the only person who has already stood out in his early twenties and rushed into the top 50 of the rich list.

Even if you don't take Newton into account now, Bill Gates, who only wants to go to the blue sky, was twenty-four years old, Microsoft had just been established, and IBM had not yet been connected, and the DOS system had not been launched.

To be exact, he was only worth more than 10 billion by the time he was forty years old!

Similarly, compared with Ding Yilai, Qiao's entrepreneurial time is about the same as Ding's age.

How much is your net worth?

Well, the market value of the entire Apple is only 3 billion, and Qiao, who has not changed the world, is only worth hundreds of millions, what is the comparison between the two?

……

Ding Yi agreed to meet, and in the evening he met Lao Qiao who came to visit him at his residence.

Looking at the old Qiao in his early forties in front of him, he was a lot younger, but he was far less energetic than later generations. There's no way, when suffering is at the head, can it be the same aura after changing the world?

Lao Qiao has always been very thin, with thin-edged frameless myopia glasses, showing great spirit, but wearing a very formal suit, far less than the black crewneck T-shirt and jeans in later generations look pleasing to the eye.

Ding is very casual when he wears it, a simple white T-shirt, beige slacks, and a pair of sneakers, in fact, many times, wearing it is also a reflection of confidence and status.

When Lao Qiao saw Ding Yi, his status was relatively low, and Ding Yi didn't have the excitement of seeing the legendary characters.

Not to mention what kneeling and licking!

Lao Qiao was a legend back then, but he fell in the past eight years, but compared with Ding Yi, it is still a lot worse. And Ding Yi believes that he has changed the world as before, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to suppress his limelight.

No way, he's just so confident.

As for the later generations, Lao Qiao became a god and seemed to have become a saint, the embodiment of a perfect man!

This is even more nonsense, in fact, Joe is not a good person, for example, when he was young, he took over the task, so he asked his friend Ark to do it, and lied to Ark, and finally only gave Ark a small fee, and he himself received a large bonus and merit.

While at Pixar, he was able to fire people without any notice and without a severance pay. He also didn't give any equity to the first Apple employee, so when he was ousted from the board of directors of Apple, which he founded, in '85, few people followed him, and few people complained about him......

It is absolutely said that the superior betrayed his relatives.

And for his daughter Lisa, he is probably the worst person, who has long denied his father's identity.

However, Lisa was finally happy after Old Joe's death and enjoyed Old Joe's great wealth. Of course, the existence of these negativity does not negate Old Joe's achievements, his focus, and his philosophy.

After chatting down for a long time, Lao Qiao helped his eyes and asked straight to the point, "Mr. Ding, I don't know what you think of Apple?"

"Huh?" Ding Yi looked up at him suspiciously when he heard Old Joe's words, and he didn't understand why he asked what he thought of Apple.

Old Joe's style is not always arbitrary, well, with mavericks!

So why did you ask him this question, and are you really going to refer to his opinion?

Ding tapped his fingers on his knees, thought for a while, and then said, "Since I have added Apple, it proves that I am optimistic about Apple's future." ”

In this regard, Ding Yi also said two sentences, and did not say too much, many times the less he said, the less he will expose the hole cards, especially when the situation is unclear and the other party's purpose is unclear, don't say too much.

Hearing this, Lao Qiao looked helpless, Ding Yi's sentence was almost nonsense, since he had selected Apple from so many transactions, it would have proved that Ding Yi was optimistic about Apple.

Ding Yi agreed, but this did not make Lao Qiao proud, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Ding Yi had nothing to add, Lao Qiao could only helplessly say, "Does Mr. Ding have any ideas to continue to invest in Apple?"

After speaking, Lao Qiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart......

Let his heart be higher than the sky, and he will bow his head in the face of reality, there is no way, Apple's lack of money makes him desperate!

Equity transactions are just a matter between investors, Apple doesn't get anything, and now Apple needs money. Since Ding Yi expressed his optimism about Apple and is a big investor himself, it is normal for Lao Qiao to come to the door.

Hearing this, Ding Yi became a little interested, but there was no expression on his face, and he just responded suspiciously, "Huh?"

As soon as Old Qiao heard this, his head immediately grew up.

When he opened his mouth to invest, he was actually in a passive situation, and Lao Qiao was not stupid, of course he understood Ding Yi's doubts, which meant that he was noncommittal, and if he wanted to invest, he had to come up with dry goods, otherwise there would be no way.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

Hawkers, you're young in your twenties, don't be so old and cunning, okay!

In desperation, Lao Qiao could only say his idea again......

IN GENERAL, ON DESKTOPS, APPLE'S SYSTEM IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE WITH MICROSOFT'S INTEL'S SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE ALLIANCE, AND NOW IT CAN ONLY DEVELOP TO MOBILE DEVICES IN ORDER TO MAKE A BREAKTHROUGH. For example, what he is eyeing now is a portable music player.

THIS IS A MARKET THAT HAS MATURED, AND THE CURRENT KING IS SONY'S WALKMAN.

"The Walkman is bound to decline, and more convenient digital players with more storage capacity will be the way of the future. If Apple's digital player sales hook up, it will even charge a certain service fee through the online music store, so as to make a complete set of ecological chains. ”

It is undeniable that Lao Qiao's vision is indeed sharp enough, and he can cut the future route at once. No, this line used to be played by Apple, but now it's just Old Joe stubbornly moving forward according to the established line.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi stared at Lao Qiao, sat up a little straighter and asked, "Since Apple wants to focus on mobile devices, how big do you think the prospects of mobile devices are?"

Mentioning this, Lao Qiao immediately cheered up, not to say what Ding said, just looking at his actions, it proved that he paid more and more attention to this conversation, and said in a deep voice, "With the development of software and hardware, and communication technology, mobile devices will eventually replace desktops to a considerable extent, and will form a large market that surpasses desktops." ”

In this regard, Ding nodded, this is what he has seen with his own eyes, so he is naturally very sure, after thinking about it, he said, "Can you write a plan, I need the analysis of professionals." ”

couldn't say that he refused, and he didn't simply agree, and Lao Qiao could only reluctantly agree.

Investors are all uncles!

Otherwise, how could he have been kicked out of the company back then?
