Icahn Enterprises announced a reduction of 2.5 million shares in Apple stock. ”

The U.S. stock market also has a suspension system, but in order to protect the interests of investors, it pursues the principle of non-suspension if it can not be suspended, even if there are major transactions, the suspension time is very short or even non-suspended. Prior to the announcement of its acquisition by Matrix, Apple had suspended trading for less than 10 trading days, which provided sufficient conditions for Carl Icahn to exit from the open market.

Zhang Chen can receive a report on shareholding changes from the company's financial department every day, and when he reads this line, he can't help but glance at Cheryl Sandberg, whose eyes are red and swollen next to him.

This woman is definitely destined to be widowed, and the husband and wife palace is guarded by a murderous star, otherwise it would not be so weak.

Sheryl Sandberg married in her early twenties at the behest of her parents, only to find out that her husband was a playboy, and the two divorced less than a year later.

After the divorce, Cheryl Sandberg had two more relationships, and the other party was either a married man or a domestic violence tendency.

After coming to California, I finally met this Paul Stevenson, who was good in all aspects, was still a commercial spy and just used her.

In the original time and space, this woman was even more unlucky, she found a friend she had known for many years as her husband, and within a few years of happy life, the other party fell off the treadmill and fell to her death.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but sigh, he had to find a chance to ask her the eight characters, calculate it for her, and see if it was cracked.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen was taken aback, he was a little deep in the play. No, you have to be careful, don't end up being a god.

Carl Icahn, after getting Paul Stevenson's report, began to ship like crazy.

This is also the result of Carl Icahn's careful consideration, he is a typical speculator, for whom he has already made a lot of money, and there is really no need to take more risks.

Calicahn's original plan was to acquire a portion of Apple's shares, become a major shareholder or break into the board of directors, and then use his-stirring power to stir up trouble on the board and propose various spin-offs to make a profit.

Even if Matrix occupies an absolute controlling stake, it doesn't matter if its plan doesn't succeed, when the time comes, Matrix will naturally find itself and buy its shares at a high price, kicking out its own unstable factor, and Icahn Enterprises will still be able to make high profits.

But now, according to Paul Stevenson, the talks between Matrix and Apple have broken down, and the two sides will announce the failure of the merger and the news that Apple's management will conduct an MBO on Apple by next week at the latest.

MBO? No kidding.

Carl Icahn scoffed at Jobs's so-called Apple feelings, and in his view, there were only two kinds of companies, those that made money and those that didn't.

Apple, if it can't merge with Matrix, is worth almost zero.

Within a week, Cal Icahn sold all of his Apple stock, and Paul Stevenson disappeared without a trace.

The only thing Sheryl Sandberg was able to find out was that Paul Stevenson bought a plane ticket to New York the day before he disappeared.

The phone doesn't work, the paging doesn't go back, and now I go back and think about it, the day before Paul Stevenson disappeared, there was indeed something strange.

It's like life is facing a big decision.

Zhang Chen naturally knew this, but because he also used Cheryl in this matter, he didn't find fault with Cheryl.

Naturally, all the stocks that Carl Icahn threw away went into Zhang Chen's pocket, and just when Zhang Chen and Jobs were about to close the net, the federal police took the initiative to come to the door.

In the forest next to the small town of Hamilton in New Jersey, the body of Paul Stevenson was found, and on the surface the cause of death was a toxic overdose.

Of course, Cheryl Sandberg has a hard time accepting this, she knows very well that Paul Stevenson has no penchant for poison, not to mention bai powder, this man didn't even touch the hemp, how could he die of an overdose?

In fact, the federal police did find a lot of suspicion in this case, but because the Mercer County police refused to cooperate and did not transfer the case to the federal police, in the end, the cause of Paul Stevenson's death was determined to be an accident.

After hearing about this, Zhang Chen's first reaction was that Cal Icahn killed people to vent his anger.

But it's not right to think about it, he and Jobs haven't confiscated the net, and Carl Icahn won't realize that he was tricked and has no motive to kill people to vent his anger. It wasn't until Cheryl Sandberg told Zhang Chen that she and Paul Stevenson were engaged and had bought the ring, that Zhang Chen vaguely guessed that Paul Stevenson might want to get out of Carl Icahn's control, so he forced Carl Icahn to get rid of this gold medal undercover agent who had followed him for many years.

This is killing people to kill people, not killing people to vent their anger.

In this way, the guilt in Zhang Chen's heart was reduced a lot, otherwise seeing Cheryl so sad, Zhang Chen really felt a little unbearable in his heart.

It's not that he thinks of Cheryl, although he has a lot of women, he will never get into emotional entanglements with assistants who have daily access to his core trade secrets.

In Zhang Chen's view, emotional entanglements with secretaries and assistants are taboos in officialdom and shopping malls.

Look at how many people fell on the counterattack blow of Xiao San and Mistress, how could Zhang Chen make such a mistake.

Therefore, Zhang Chen just comforted Cheryl Sandberg and gave the other party a few days off, as if nothing had happened.

However, this incident gave Zhang Chen a new level of understanding of these American tycoons.

No matter what country you are in, it seems that you will not be a good person to become a top rich person.

Think about it, every rich man who broke out has more or less stepped on the river. I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, the difference is whether I am caught or not.

Even if he is caught, he can easily get away with it according to American law, and countless pioneers have verified this truth.

Feb. 10, Flint Auditorium at Dianza Community College.

"How does it feel to be back in the Flint Auditorium?" Zhang Chen looked at Jobs who had cut his short hair in front of him, the other party could only eat liquid food in the past few days in the hospital, and he had lost a lot of weight, and he really looked a little thinner in later life.

The corners of Jobs' lips curled slightly: "This has always been the beginning of a new era, I didn't expect you to choose this year's developer conference here, but I'm still very unhappy that Apple's developer conference was postponed to February, and in addition, the layout here is too old-fashioned." ”

Zhang Chen laughed: "Then you can only blame your own tumor." ”

The Flint Auditorium was the scene of the launch of Jobs' first release of Macintosh in '84, and Zhang Chen deliberately spent a lot of money to decorate the scene exactly like '84.

Feelings, the main focus of this conference is feelings.

Zhang Chen took a deep breath, "OK, Sho time."
