Chapter 684 NEXT Computer Company and Jobs
I have to say that Su Chenyu and Qianhe Fund's "combination boxing" is really beautiful, first the "obscene stream" developed a wave, and then held high to find the breaking point, and directly started in a wave.
As a result, the idea that "Apple is a rotten company and Qianhe Fund is stupid" has gradually penetrated into the minds of the vampires on Wall Street. Later, as long as Apple "plays normally" like in its previous life, it will make the company worse and worse, and even directly get to the brink of bankruptcy - Su Chenyu believes that Apple, which has embarked on the "road to death", can do it.
Then, Su Chenyu can easily be a "bottom picker" and successfully take Apple into his pocket.
Therefore, even though Su Chenyu now holds 35.4% of Apple's shares and is the well-deserved largest shareholder, he will never try to change Apple's "dead behavior".
As for why?
Very simply, if Apple does not rot to the end and goes to the edge of the abyss, how can the "vampires" on Wall Street give up their shares in Apple? How can he, Su Chenyu, be the "savior"?
Yes, if Apple is allowed to rot like this, Qianhe Fund's investment and acquisition of Apple, although it has already entered a state of loss at the beginning, and will lose more and more in the future-Qianhe Fund will also become a laughing stock in the world's financial investment community.
However, people have to take a long-term view!
Yes, if you look at it from the perspective of 3 or 4 years of development, Apple is simply useless, and it may go bankrupt and liquidate directly. However, if you look at it in 10 or 20 years, Apple is now a gold wrapped in a dung ball - once the outer layer of "dung ball" is removed, this gold will bloom dazzlingly.
Is a temporary loss a fart? The ultimate goal of $800 billion is the ultimate goal!
That's strategic vision!
In addition, the most important thing is that Apple is just a part of Su Chenyu's game, or that sentence, he wants more!
Therefore, after Qianhe Fund announced that it already held 35.4% of Apple's shares, Apple's executives are waiting for the "three fires" of the new major shareholder. Even the outside world is speculating one after another, in the face of such a rotten state of Apple, what kind of thunderous means will the Qianhe Fund use to regain its life? After all, the Qianhe Fund has also placed a heavy bet on Apple, and the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is not a small amount!
However, no one expected that this guy from Qianhe Fund would actually ...... Nothing was done, neither the current chairman, Michael Spindler, nor a strong board of directors – a surprise to many.
Of course, Qianhe Fund did not do nothing, and got a director and an executive director on Apple's board of directors. Other than that, he really didn't do anything, and even Qianhe Fund didn't ask even a little bit about Apple's operations.
Uh, I'm confused!
Just when the outside world was confused about this, Su Chenyu didn't have time to help them wipe away the confusion in their hearts, he was still busy.
Now that the game has officially begun, it's time to go one step further!
From New York to Redwood City, California, from the East Coast to the West Coast, Su Chenyu staged a perfect "switchback run" - not long ago, he just left San Jose for New York. It's just that the last time I left San Jose, there were two people, but this time I returned to California, only Su Chenyu was alone, Ye Jingxian, this girl went to school, although she was extremely reluctant, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs.
Redwood City, the capital of San Mateo County, California, USA, is a member of the "Silicon Valley family" in later generations, but now he has not been labeled as "Silicon Valley". So, it's just a small town in California's San Francisco Bay Area, but there's also a big name for it, Electronic Arts.
Well, that is, the famous "EA", a major hegemon in the global video game industry, I believe that friends who like video games should know "EA" this guy. Because, whether it's "EA Sports", or "SimCity" and "Sims", they are all famous.
However, this time he came to Redwood City, Su Chenyu really didn't come for Electronic Arts, and now he has no effort to get involved in the video game industry. However, the video game industry is a profiteering industry after all, and it is also a downstream industry of the IT industry, so Su Chenyu doesn't mind getting involved in it in the future.
As for now, Su Chenyu really doesn't have that idle time, his game has reached a critical point, and he must win it.
In Redwood City, there is a small computer company that is not very famous, and if you are not a senior IT person, you may not really know that he exists, he is - NEXT Computer Company. However, NEXT Computer seems a bit small, but he has a real "god" here.
This "great god" is none other than the famous Steve Jobs.
Yes, the founder of Next Computer is the "Great God" Jobs.
In 1985, Steve Jobs was usurped by John Scully, vice president whom he had poached from PepsiCo, and lost his position as chairman and CEO of Apple, saying goodbye to the Apple company he founded.
After kicking out Apple, Steve Jobs sold all his Apple shares in a fit of rage, leaving only one as a souvenir. It was with the money from the sale of Apple shares that Jobs did two of the most famous things, and these two events directly changed his life.
One of the most famous is that in 1986, Steve Jobs spent $10 million from the sale of Apple stock to buy Lucasfilm's computer animation effects studio from George Lucas, and based on this, he established the absolute king of 3D animation - Pixar Animation Studio. The rest of the story is more widely known, in 2006 Disney bought Pixar Studios for a sky-high price of $7.4 billion, making Steve Jobs the largest individual shareholder of Disney.
As for the other thing, in the year he left Apple, Jobs founded NEXT Computer Company, and later it was with the springboard of NEXT Computer Company that Jobs returned to Apple and staged a good show of "the return of the king".
Compared with the "success" of acquiring Pixar Animation Studios, Jobs founded NEXT Computer Company in much obscurity, but, to be honest, NEXT Computer Company is really much more important to Jobs than Pixar Animation Studio.
Because, NEXT Studio perfectly illustrates Steve Jobs's genius in the computer industry, although in 1993 NEXT was cut off the hardware department due to lack of strength, but they were indeed very successful in software development.
Steve Jobs' NEXT Computer Company creatively developed the NextStep operating system, and based on it, the famous OPENSTEP was released.
Well, these computer industry terms don't sound very obscure and hard to understand, but it doesn't matter, you just need to know that Steve Jobs' NEXT computer company is a big hit right now.
Because, Apple's operating system, Mac OS X, is based on OPENSTEP, and you say it's awesome.
Therefore, in this way, NEXT Computer Company and Steve Jobs have become a very important key point in Su Chenyu's "bureau".
Therefore, no matter what, Su Chenyu must take down NEXT Computer Company.
At the headquarters of NEXT Computer Company in Redwood City, Su Chenyu finally met this man who changed the world - Steve Jobs.
Su Chenyu was not a "geek" in his previous life, nor was he a "fruit fan" from time to time, let alone a fan of Jobs, so he was not as fanatical as some "brainless fans" about Jobs.
However, Su Chenyu still admires this "figure of the century" who can definitely be called a world-changing person. If nothing else, can take Apple from a commodity on the verge of bankruptcy with a market value of less than $2 billion to a Nasdaq supergiant with a market value of nearly $800 billion — something that the average person can do?
Looking at Steve Jobs, who was tall and thin opposite, Su Chenyu said with a smile: "Steve, it's nice to meet you, I don't need to introduce myself!"
Nodding, Steve Jobs picked up the coffee in his hand and said, "Qianhe Fund?
Since the "great god" Jobs is so direct, there is no need for Su Chenyu to hide it, so his face turned pale and said solemnly: "Since Steve is so direct, then I won't go around in circles anymore." ”
"Qianhe Fund wants to buy Mr. Jobs' NEXT computer company. ”
Well, as soon as he heard Su Chenyu's words, Steve Jobs took a sip of coffee in his hand, and then took a sip of coffee as if nothing happened, and said in a firm tone: "Impossible, I won't sell NEXT Computer Company, please Qianhe Fund and Mr. Su will die of this heart." ”
For Jobs's refusal, it was not expected by Su Chenyu at all, so Su Chenyu smiled and continued: "300 million US dollars, 100% of the shares." ”
"Impossible!"
"350 million!"
"I said it was impossible, don't bother talking any more!"
"$400 million!" Offering a price again, Su Chenyu looked at Steve Jobs, who still wanted to refuse, and said first: "In addition, I can also give you a promise, that is, ......"
