Haha, Jobs said thank you to me?

It's so cool!

Wang Zifan is happy in his heart, he is grateful for taking a big advantage, there is nothing more exciting in the world, in fact, Jobs has the hope of surpassing Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world, but he missed the opportunity today, 30 years later, the 11% of the shares are worth 66 billion US dollars, not including dividends over the years, in short, this transaction Wang Zifan made a lot of money.

Apple Computer Company is through external investment to grow and grow, by 1980 when it went public, Jobs owned 11% of Apple's original shares, worth about $130 million, and now in front of Wang Zifan, Jobs decided to sell all Apple shares, only one share, so that he could attend the company's annual meeting, but this is not the only time Jobs sold Apple shares based on doubts about the company's management and development direction, and will leave Apple's computer company Next After the sale of Software, Jobs bought 1.5 million shares of Apple in 1996 and later sold them for $400 million.

Mr. Jobs was a senior adviser to the company at the time, but he lost faith in the company's operations and sold 1.5 million shares of Apple the following year. In an interview with Time magazine, Jobs also publicly said that he had given up hope and did not expect Apple's board of directors to do anything, which may be the psychological shadow caused by the board of directors!

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Wang Zifan was very interested in what Jobs was going to do in the future, and said tentatively: "Are you going to give up your computer career in the future and devote yourself to animation?"

Jobs shook his head and said, "No, the reason why I bought the studio Pixar is because I am optimistic about its development prospects, but I will not give up the computer career!"

It turned out that Jobs wanted to start a new business, Pixar? This name is a little familiar, Wang Zifan pondered whether to buy shares, and said with a smile: "What can I do for you?"

Jobs hesitated for a moment and hesitated: "I am short of funds right now, so if you really want Apple shares, I want you to pay all the money at once!"

The prince of Apple is determined to win, and said confidently: "No problem!"

Jobs reminded: "Although the company is not in good shape at the moment, there are 6.5 million shares of this 11% stake, which are worth $150 million at the current stock price, and I think ......about it if they are converted into Hong Kong dollars."

"One hundred and fifty million!"

"Yes!"

"I can send funds to your account in three days!"

"Great, that's great news, thank you!" Jobs laughed like a child, what he lacks most now is capital, the previous Apple company was developed by financing, and as a result, he was kicked out of the board of directors, so learn from it, the new company is established, no matter what happens, he will not give up the controlling interest, so as not to follow the tragedy!

After Steve Jobs was kicked out of his home by Apple and started a new company, NeXT, someone once joked, "The only lesson he learned from being kicked out of his house by Apple is that you have to own 51% of the company you have built so that you can't get kicked out."

Wang Zifan remembered that Jobs decided to sell Apple stock, and soon raised $5 million to buy the little-known animation studio Pixar from Lucasfilm, and since then it has grown to Disney for $7.4 billion, in which Jobs acquired an 8% stake in Disney, and a few years later, it was worth $12.7 billion, or 90% of the total wealth that Jobs left to his wife In any way, Jobs left his wife a lot of wealth. But it still pales in comparison to the original stock that Mr. Jobs sold when he was forced to leave Apple.

In other words, if you invest in Pixar, you can get a stake in Disney, which is one of the eight major Hollywood studios, which is of great significance to DreamWorks to conquer Hollywood!

Wang Zifan said with a smile: "Maybe you already know, I have a very famous film company in Hong Kong!"

Jobs nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to be called Movie Dream Works!"

Wang Zifan said: "What I want to say is that DreamWorks has a computer studio that specializes in developing related new technologies, including computer animation and computer special effects! After two years of simple investment, although I dare not say that it surpasses the latest technology in the United States, I dare to guarantee that we will not lag behind the United States in the research and development of animation technology, and our company will launch an animated film soon!"

Jobs was surprised: "There are also computer companies in Hong Kong?"

Wang Zifan smiled faintly and said: "I remember saying that I like computers very much and am interested in them when I took a stake in Apple!"

Jobs understood what he meant, but he couldn't make a decision yet, and proposed, "Can I go and investigate?"

"Of course you can!" Wang Zifan made a welcome gesture and said passionately: "We have the same philosophy, you have the technology, I have the strategy, the strong combination, we can cooperate completely!"

Jobs just smiled, stood up and poured two cups of coffee, did not refuse or agree, but mentioned Apple, although he left, but he still couldn't let go of his heart: "King, please allow me to call you that, buy 11% of the equity in my hand, you have held nearly 20% of the shares, and of course become the largest shareholder, do you still want to go back to Hong Kong next?"

"Yes!" Wang Fancai is unwilling to shift the focus of his work to the United States, it is okay to occasionally fight tooth sacrifices, and sooner or later he will be targeted if he devotes himself to it, and the US government, bankers, and Morgan and Rockefeller giants are not existences that he can fight against now.

Jobs joked, "What if they elected you as chairman?"

Wang Zi Waner said: "I think you know better than me what the chairman of Apple means, to be honest, I'm not interested!"

The reason why he said this is that Wang Zifan has three reasons, first: Apple is a public company, there is no substantial major shareholder, especially in the era of soaring market capitalization, the shares have long been diluted, the so-called chairman is also a position, not a big boss, even if he becomes the chairman, it is only an honorary position, no real power, second, Jobs's foresight can design products that transcend the times, with him, Apple's stock can rise, so Jobs is the real boss, when the time comes, he, the chairman, will have to listen to Jobs, how boring, third: in any companyThe person who really has the power to rule must be the person who can bring the greatest development to the company, not necessarily the chairman of the company.

"That's right!" Jobs shrugged his shoulders, if Wang Zifan's view is very forward, then what he sees is the current situation, the company's most powerful person to be responsible for the planning of the entire company is the general manager, that is, his previous position, as for the directors, most of them are bankers, venture capitalists, usually do not interfere in the management of the company, only when a major event occurs, and make decisions, so to speak, if Apple's top management is highly united, there is no need to care about the board of directors at all!

The next topic, Wang Zifan always intentionally or unintentionally mentioned cooperation, for him, Jobs's extraordinary thing is that he successfully ran NeXT, as a result, a few years later, Apple's board of directors for $377.5 million in cash, plus Apple's 1.5 million shares of shares to acquire NeXT, Jobs also took advantage of the return of the king to return to Apple, and successfully led Apple to make a comeback, until it became the world's most valuable company, and now confirm the partnership, in the later years when Jobs was in power, he can get the real sense of Apple.

In addition to his legendary experience at Apple, Jobs also has another glorious history, Jobs spent $10 million to buy a computer animation studio, which is the aforementioned Pixar, produced the world's first fully computer-produced animated feature film "Toy Story", and launched "Finding Nemo" and other films, which became famous, so Disney spent $7.4 billion to acquire Jobs's animation company, and Jobs became a shareholder of Disney, and is the largest individual shareholder.

As for cooperation, Jobs always smiled and did not speak, refusing to give an accurate answer, there was a kind of feeling that he was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, and he refused to offend Wang Zifan, the financier, and finally changed the topic: "Actually, there are many computer companies in the United States, and in addition to Microsoft, which you hold shares, there are a few other ones that are also good! If you are interested, you can try to acquire!"

Wang Zifan swallowed his words and asked, "What kind of companies are there?"

"Pioneer Computer Technology, Happy Computer ......" Jobs introduced several computer companies in a row, seeing that Wang Zifan just shook his head, smiled bitterly, and didn't understand why Wang Zifan had a soft spot for his computer company, first Apple, then NeXT and Pixar, and said helplessly: "There is another one, although it has not been established for a long time, but I think it has great potential!"

Wang Zifan didn't care at all, he hadn't heard of these computer companies that Jobs said, and it was estimated that he couldn't escape the end of bankruptcy, so he said casually: "What's your name?"

Jobs said, "Sun Company!"

"The sun?" Wang Zifan couldn't help but laugh, there was also a name called it, but it seemed that someone had mentioned it......

Jobs reminded: "I am optimistic about Sun because it has the support of Stanford University behind it, so to speak, Sun is a high-tech company incubated by Stanford University!"

Stanford, SUN!

Wang Zifan finally remembered, there is indeed this company, and it is very famous, but he rose a little early, and the speed of bankruptcy is too fast, and its reputation is far less than that of Apple and Microsoft, but it is the first computer company to enter the Chinese market and directly carry out technical cooperation with the Chinese government, at the peak of Internet development, Sun has 50,000 employees around the world and a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars, which is not only more than 30 times its market value today, but also far exceeds the 170 billion US dollars of Google, which ranks second in market value today. and 160 billion dollars from IBM, which ranked third.

In addition to the outrageous market capitalization, the most widely circulated is the luxury information of sun, which has more than 50 football fields, about 450,000 square meters, and more than a dozen football field sized office buildings under construction, in its peak years, sun not only beat all workstation and minicomputer companies, including IBM, but also relied on its Solaris and the popular Java that took the world by storm Programming languages have become the most likely company to challenge Microsoft in terms of operating systems, and Sun has no shortage of talented people, who not only trained CEO Eric Schmidt and the first vice president of engineering for Google, Wayne Rossing, but also laid the foundation for today's Google engineering department to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, the successor is weak, when Wang Zifan's generation began to contact computers, it was about 2001, the brain drain, luxury office buildings were sold, the stock plummeted, and the sun company turned from prosperity to decline, not only the number of people, market value, and office area are far from being compared with the eighties, but also completely withdrew from the hegemony in the IT field, and the sun company was established from 1982 to 2000 It took nearly 20 years to reach the peak and only one year to go downhill, so it has a poor reputation among the younger generation of computer users.

Another gold mine has been discovered!

Wang Zifan concealed his inner excitement, what about the collapse of Sun Company, as long as he left at the peak of market value, he could make a steady profit without losing money, not to mention that he remembered the exact time of the collapse of Sun Company, which collapsed in 2001, he got rid of it in 2000, or earlier, with a market value of more than 200 billion, how can he earn tens of billions, and it is US dollars, and now he invests millions, and tens of billions in more than ten years!

"What's going on with this company now?"

Thinking of his own entrepreneurial dilemma, Jobs shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm very short of money!"

Wang Zifan considered: "If I want to buy all the shares, do you think it is possible?"

"No, no, no!" Jobs shook his head again and again, and carefully analyzed: "The founder of the company will not allow it, and if you buy it on the front foot, they may leave on the back foot, we have corresponding laws and regulations in the United States, and the company must go through formal procedures for listing, and you can't control a company to be listed at all, for example, we went through three rounds of financing before Apple's listing, and at the beginning my shareholding was 40%, and after three rounds of financing, my equity was diluted to 11% when I went public!" For investors, the later they intervene, the more benefits they get!"

In fact, the growth of the start-up company is reflected in the appreciation of the stock price, the faster the appreciation, the less dilution in financing, of course, if the company can save money well in the early stage, the less financing times, the smaller the dilution, his Wanda is an example, the initial asset integration cost three million Hong Kong dollars, equal to almost 1% of the company's shares, to now, three million Hong Kong dollars even 0.0003% can't buy the equity, so don't burn money in the early stage of the company's business, if you can't find investment, it's best not to look for it, otherwise you will lose more in the future!

This is the reason why DreamWorks and Jiashi do not accept investment, investors can get 50% of the equity if they invest 10 million in the early stage, and the 50% equity can be worth tens of billions in the future!

And investors will try their best to dilute the equity in the hands of the founders before they buy shares, such as letting employees hold shares first and then invest, Wang Zifan's Wanda is no different, but he is stronger, only accepts friendship into shares, and controls more than 70% of the equity openly or secretly, and there is a way to deal with this trick, the company's equity is not circulated before listing, and the valuation does not have an accurate market price. 0.1%...... How much is it worth, so Wang Zifan gave them the number of shares, no matter whether they gave 500 shares, 1,000 shares, 50,000 shares, the numbers are better than 1%, 5%, etc., and if the stock price is 10 yuan when the company is listed, a simple calculation will know how much the shares allocated at this time are worth.
