The success of Huayin MP3 and lTunesd made Apple's major shareholders who had been waiting to see Lin Cheng feel Lin Cheng's terrible for the first time, and they finally understood that the vote of Michaels and Chamberlain and other shareholder representatives on Apple's board of directors was correct, and it was not cost-effective to continue to hold Apple shares.

As a result, Chan's acquisition team found that with the hot sales of Huayin MP3 and lTunes, the acquisition negotiations suddenly became smooth.

In the end, after nearly a month of hard work, Chen Huiyi's acquisition team reached an agreement with major shareholders such as Vanguard Group, Blackstone Fund, SSGA Fund, and Fidelity Management, and decided to sign a share purchase agreement at 10 a.m. on November 2.

……

November 2 is just around the corner, at half past nine in the morning, Lin Cheng personally led the team, and Chen Huiyi came to Apple's headquarters without leaving behind all the hard-working members of the acquisition team.

Apple's management team already knew that Lin Cheng, the richest man in the world, was about to become their new boss, so they waited at the gate from nine o'clock under the leadership of President Steve Jobs, and finally waited for Lin Cheng and his party for half an hour.

"Steve, it won't be long before you and I can walk hand in hand and create a great new era!" Lin Cheng held Jobs' hand and smiled enthusiastically.

"Hahaha!Lin, I can't wait for this!" Jobs, who didn't smile, laughed out loud.

The success of Huayin MP3 and lTunes not only convinced a number of major Apple shareholders such as Vanguard Group and Blackstone Fund, but also conquered the arrogant and high-minded Jobs.

Whether it is the hardware Huayin MP3 or the software lTunes, it is a grade better than the iPod and iTunes developed by Apple before, and after Jobs used it, he can only admit in his heart that he is ashamed.

In this way, Jobs let go of the pride in his heart, convinced Lin Cheng, and was willing to live under Lin Cheng and create the so-called era of science and technology with Lin Cheng.

Next, Jobs began to introduce Lin Cheng to the executives of Apple's management team, and one of them caught Lin Cheng's attention.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Cheng, I am Tim Cook, vice president of Apple, mainly responsible for Apple's computer business. A middle-aged man with a rather elegant appearance shook hands with Lin Cheng and smiled.

"Hello Mr. Cook, I've heard of you, the Mac computers produced by the Apple computer department under your leadership are very good, and I still use them to this day. Lin Cheng smiled enthusiastically.

Tim Cook, the closet, is undoubtedly the Apple executive that Lin Cheng will spend a lot of effort to win over in the future, although after the death of Jobs, Apple has not been able to launch a great product that is praised.

But Tim Cook was appointed at the brink of crisis, and after the death of Jobs, not only did not let Apple decline, but went further, which undoubtedly proves that he has extremely strong management ability.

And compared with Jobs's strictness to his subordinates, the harmless Tim Cook is undoubtedly more loved by Apple employees, and can unite a group of top geniuses with outstanding abilities in Apple to his advantage.

As for how to treat consumers, Steve Jobs has always been the attitude that all of my Big Apple products are the best, you all shut up, beep less, and use them well.

And Tim Cook is undoubtedly more likely to figure out what consumers think, what kind of products consumers like, what kind of products Apple will produce under Tim Cook's management, and try to meet the preferences of consumers.

It can be said that if Jobs' innovation ability is removed, Tim Cook is a better manager than Jobs, and he is also the best candidate for Lin Cheng to succeed Jobs as the next president of Apple in his future plan.

"Thank you Mr. Lin Cheng for your compliment, I will continue to work hard to lead Apple's computer department to produce better computers. Tim Cook said with some flattery.

"Very good, I'm looking forward to it!" Lin Cheng patted Tim Cook on the shoulder and encouraged.

……

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Cheng met again with Michaels, Chamberlain, and other shareholder representatives of large organizations in the large conference room of Apple's headquarters.

Seeing each other again, the two sides are no longer as tense as they were when they first met, but like old friends, they have become much more polite.

Michaels said: "Lin, your company's Huayin MP3 and lTunes are fantastic, this is an epoch-making great technology product!"

Lin Cheng waved his hand and said modestly: "It's not great, it can only be said to be excellent." ”

Chamberlain still has a trace of unwillingness in his heart, and said: "The success of Huayin MP3 and lTunes shows that we were right to be optimistic about Apple at the beginning, if it were not for Mr. Lin, you were born, Apple's iPod and iTunes can also achieve great success, and Apple's stock price will skyrocket and become a promising high-quality listed company." ”

Lin Cheng shook his head and said: "There has never been an if-and-assume in the capital market, only bloody successes and failures." Mr. Chamberlain, as a capitalist, don't you think it's naïve to say these things?

Doing business is the same as being a person, you must have a big picture of your own vision, is it difficult to admit the success of others?

It's not hard at all, and I never say 'what if' or 'what if', because it's just an excuse for the loser.

It's not an excuse I want to hear, a win is a win, and a defeat is a defeat!

So you can be broad-minded, accept other people's successes, and learn from other people's successful experiences, which is not a bad thing for you. ”

Chamberlain was shocked when he heard this, and the others were equally in awe, these philosophical words actually came from the mouth of a young man like Lin Cheng, who was only twenty years old.

At this moment, everyone understands why Lin Cheng became the world's richest man when he was only twenty years old, he did not rely on luck in people's mouths, but with real strength, as well as the big pattern and vision in his chest, this is Lin Cheng's way to success!

Chamberlain took a deep look at Lin Cheng and said sincerely: "The Chinese say that 'listening to the words of the king is better than reading a book for ten years', I used to think that this was too exaggerated, but after listening to Mr. Lin's words today, I found that this is appropriate." ”

Lin Cheng waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Chamberlain is still too exaggerated, these words are nothing, we Chinese often hang in our mouths." ”

Michaels shook his head and said: "In fact, many people understand the truth, but how many people can put it into practice? Therefore, Mr. Lin Cheng, your way of success is still very worthy of our learning, and I would like to express my 120,000 admiration for this." ”

In this way, in a peaceful atmosphere, Lin Cheng and the representatives of the shareholders signed a share purchase agreement, and Lin Cheng's Apple shares rose to 75.8%, far more than 66.6% of the controlling shares, and could submit a privatization offer to the Nasdaq stock market.
