"No need! Since they believe in Jobs, no matter how hard your bank tries, it will be difficult to convince them! At the beginning, we reached an agreement that your bank would help me buy 50% of Apple's shares, and I would pay Citibank a commission of 200 million US dollars, but now your bank has only acquired 20%, so settle it with two-fifths of the commission, and I will pay 50 million US dollars to your bank after working hard for your bank. ”

Lin Cheng already knows the reason for the setback of Citibank's acquisition, that is, Apple's iPod digital music player should have an eyebrow, Apple's shareholders are quite optimistic about this product, believing that this product can make Apple's comeback and become the top enterprise in the global electronics industry again.

In fact, on October 23, 2001, Apple launched the iPod digital music player with great success, with its exclusive iTunes network paid music download system, in one fell swoop, beating Sony's alkman series to become the world's largest portable music player, and the subsequent launch of several iPod series products further consolidated Apple's unshakable position in the commercial digital music market.

Before the launch of the crazy phone, Apple was born with this small iPod digital music player, and even in the general trend environment of the Nasdaq stock market, Apple's stock price has always risen against the market.

According to the history of the original time and space, Apple's stock price will reach $10 billion by the end of this year, almost double the current $5.5 billion.

This shows that after Apple went through the pain of ousting Jobs in the 80s, Jobs who returned to Apple has won the unanimous trust of Apple, from shareholders to ordinary investors, and everyone believes that Apple will definitely go to the top under the leadership of Jobs and become the great company that people praise again.

If Apple is under his own leadership, Apple is still as good as in his previous life, Lin Cheng naturally has no opinion.

But if Apple is still a US imperialist and only has 25.6 share dividends, Lin Cheng naturally does not allow Apple to continue to be awesome.

"In that case, it's a pity, we can only look forward to the next cooperation. "Since Lin Cheng has made a decision, Sandywell can only respect Lin Cheng's choice, after all, once a person of Lin Cheng's level has made a decision, it is difficult to change it again.

"Hmm!" Lin Cheng nodded and said, "In the afternoon, I will send Andy Smith to your bank to settle commissions, hand over capital shares, and terminate the entrustment agreement." ”

"I'm going to sweep the couch and welcome Mr. Smith, Mr. Lin Cheng, goodbye!" Sandy Will said goodbye, just about to hang up.

"Wait!" Lin Cheng suddenly shouted.

"What? Mr. Lin Cheng wants to change his mind?" Sandy Weir asked with hope, the entrustment agreement between Citi and Lin Cheng was originally a big deal of 200 million US dollars, but now it has shrunk to 50 million, and he is naturally unwilling in his heart.

"No, I would like to entrust your bank to help me buy an island in the Maldives. When Lin Cheng visited Yellowstone Park a few days ago, he was shocked by the natural beauty of Yellowstone, and since then he has had the idea of visiting all the beautiful scenery in the world to live up to his life.

Just to enjoy the beautiful scenery, how can you have it yourself? So Lin Cheng came up with the idea of buying an island again.

When thinking of islands, the first thing that comes to mind for Chinese is definitely not Hawaii, but the Maldives, and Lin Cheng is no exception.

Although Lin Cheng has never been to the Maldives, he has conquered Lin Cheng only by virtue of the Maldives that appeared in the Korean variety show "We Are Married - Mr. and Mrs. Pooh".

After the rise of China's economy in the 10s, the Maldives has become one of the most popular countries for Chinese tourists, and there are even more Chinese tourists in the Maldives than locals.

"Buying a Maldivian island?" Sandywell was stunned, apparently he didn't know much about the Maldives.

As an American imperialist, Sandywell takes it for granted that the islands around Hawaii are the best, and super-rich people such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett also like to buy islands near Hawaii.

As for the Maldives, the well-informed Sandywell has heard of the name of this island nation, but he does not know much about the islands of the Maldives.

"That's right!" Lin Cheng nodded and said: "I want to buy the Maldives island, and the Maldives government will sell as much as you want, and you will help me buy as much as possible, the more the merrier!"

Lin Cheng remembers that after 2000, the Maldives no longer sells islands, and now it is the last period for the sale of Maldives islands.

"Okay, our bank is happy to serve you, Mr. Lin Cheng, do you have any other instructions?" For Citibank, the acquisition of the Maldives islands is just a sprinkling, and the US imperialist father roared, the Maldives government does not want to sell, he has to sell!

"Uh...... No, I will give priority to your bank if there is any business entrustment in the future, and Andy Smith will negotiate with your bank in the afternoon to acquire the islands of the Maldives. Okay, that's it!" Lin Cheng hung up the phone.

Originally, Lin Cheng wanted to entrust Citibank to buy Marvel Comics and DC Comics, but Lin Cheng suddenly remembered the old saying "don't put all your eggs in the same basket", and finally swallowed the words that were about to blurt out back into his stomach.

As for Apple, at this time Lin Cheng has already thought of a way to make Jobs, it is obvious that the iPod digital music player to be released next year is the biggest lifeline for Apple today and in the next few years, and it is also the confidence of Apple shareholders to refuse Lin Cheng's high-priced acquisition of shares.

Therefore, Lin Cheng decided to start a business war with Apple, and took the lead in launching the digital music player developed and produced by Lin's, with better quality, smaller size, and larger memory to achieve absolute dominance in the digital music market, so that the iPod digital music player that Jobs and the entire Apple company had high hopes for was stillborn, and the rise of Apple was strangled in the cradle!

Of course, the reason why Lin Cheng has the confidence to start a business war with Apple in the field of digital music is because he asked all experts, professors, technical engineers, doctors and masters and other scientific researchers to go all out to develop high-end MP3 players when he established Lin's Electronic Technology Incubation Park in Beijing, Magic City, Shudu and Pengcheng.

And Lin Cheng provides them with high-end MP3 samples, is based on the epoch-making product of iPod, presumably after nearly two years of research and development, the electronic technology incubator should not let him down, under the inspiration and design of Lin Cheng, you can come up with electronic products that compete with iPod.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng immediately instructed his secretary to book a plane ticket, and he couldn't wait to return to China to see what kind of answer the electronic technology incubator could hand over after nearly two years of great investment.
