Chapter 686 Jobs enters the game
Faced with the "big pie" drawn by Su Chenyu, Jobs did not resolutely refuse, it was very simple, just like Su Chenyu said - Jobs did not die to Apple, and even never gave up on Apple. U?8 ?? .?U?8?X S?`C?O?M
As a company founded by himself, Apple is like his own child to Jobs, and even Apple is more important to Jobs than his own children.
Although, in Apple's "palace fight", Jobs was kicked off the throne by John Scala, who he poached from Pepsi, and was even kicked out of Apple. However, as Su Chenyu said, Jobs never resented Apple, he only resented the traitor John Scala and Apple's brainless shareholders.
Yes, Jobs, who had just been kicked out of Apple, was so angry that he even liquidated all his Apple shares, leaving only one share as a memorial. However, after a short period of anger, Jobs, who calmed down, still couldn't let go of Apple in his heart, but he also knew that he would not be able to return to Apple in a short time.
So, over the years, Jobs used the money he had cashed out from Apple's stock to start his business again——? 8??? U8XS'COM Moreover, both Pixar Animation Studios and next computer company have been quite successful.
However, again, Apple is like Jobs's "first love", and it will never be forgotten. This also led to the fact that in the previous life, even after the success of Pixar Animation Studios with "Toy Story", Jobs re-emerged, but as soon as he heard Apple's call, he still went back to stage the "Return of the King" drama without hesitation.
Therefore, in the face of Su Chenyu's promise, Jobs was indeed moved, and it was greatly moved. The most important thing is that Jobs clearly knows that the "cake" that Su Chenyu painted for him is not just talking, but really possible.
35.4% of the shares, Apple's largest shareholder, Qianhe Fund and Su Chenyu do have that strength, putting him Jobs back into the position of chairman and CEO of Apple. Moreover, Su Chenyu's other promise also made Jobs unable to refuse - after he took office, Qianhe Fund would not interfere with his management of Apple.
Well, Jobs actually had a decision in his heart.
After thinking about it for two days, Jobs finally made up his mind and called Su Chenyu to ask him to ,?? 8?? .?U?8?X S `C?OM
Looking at Jobs opposite with a smile, Su Chenyu didn't expect this "great god" to make a decision so quickly, originally in Su Dashao's expectations, Jobs had to wait for his brother to answer for ten days and half a month. Unexpectedly, Jobs had such a deep affection for Apple, and he couldn't wait for two days.
"How's it going, Steve?"
Putting down the coffee in his hand, Steve Jobs stared at Su Chenyu and said seriously: "Are you sure you will continue to acquire shares in Apple and then become the controlling shareholder of Apple?"
Hearing Jobs's words, Su Chenyu naturally knew what he meant, so he also removed the smile on his face and said seriously: "Don't worry about this, during this time, the shares of Apple held by Qianhe Fund have increased to 35.8%, and our goal is to control Apple." ”
Nodding, Jobs believed Su Chenyu's words, and then continued: "So, once I return to Apple, Qianhe Fund will really not interfere in Apple's management?"
"Of course, I believe in the ability of you and the Apple team, Steve, so we don't meddle in the management and operation of the company. I can guarantee that, and it can even be written into the contract. ”
"What about the time?"
After pondering for a while, Su Chenyu gave an ambiguous answer: "I can't guarantee the specific time, but it will definitely not exceed 3 years, that is to say, in 1997, you can definitely guarantee your smooth return to Apple." If things go well, then in '96 it should be fine. ”
Well, as for why Su Chenyu gave these two points in time, it's very simple, because in the previous life, Apple completely fell into bankruptcy crisis in 1996 - this is Su Chenyu's best chance to buy the bottom, there is no one.
For Su Chenyu's answer, Jobs was generally satisfied, so he nodded, and then said: "Okay, I agree to sell NEXT Computer Company to Qianhe Fund." ”
Not so surprised, Jobs's answer was exactly what Su Chenyu expected, so he said with a smile: "That's great, Steve, welcome back to Apple." ”
Picking up the coffee and taking a sip gently, Jobs smiled faintly and said, "I hope the speed of the Qianhe Fund can be a little faster." ”
"Don't worry, the Qianhe Foundation will speed up as much as possible. Looking at the eager Jobs, Su Chenyu said: "However, Steve, you have to know that sometimes the easier it is to get, the less you will cherish it." I don't think you need to be in a hurry now, you can continue the R&D work of Next Computer, and you can also think about Apple's development strategy in the future. ”
"When Apple is in a real crisis, wouldn't it be better for me to push you up. When the time comes, you will be the 'savior' who has come to save Apple. ”
Well, it seems that he was shocked by the insidiousness of Su Chenyu, and Jobs looked confused, and after a few seconds, he was able to react. Then, Jobs looked at Su Chenyu with complicated eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." ”
Su Chenyu smiled happily again, and then said, "Don't worry." ”
After the negotiations between Su Chenyu and Steve Jobs ended, Qianhe Fund officially acquired 100% of the shares of NEXT Computer Company for $400 million. Regarding this acquisition, many people said that they really couldn't understand it, and it was sick to buy such a thing for $400 million, right?
Hehe, they naturally don't know the real purpose of this, after the wholly-owned acquisition of Next Computer Company by Qianhe Fund, Jobs stayed as the CEO of Next Computing Company and continued to develop the software system of Next Company.
So far, Su Chenyu has successfully pulled Jobs, the "great god", into the game through NEXT Computer Company, so to speak, he has completed the arrangement of the most important key point in this game.
Next, it's time to take this game a step further......
