Chapter 125: Investing in Apple and Microsoft

During this period, Apple was a leather bag company, with almost nothing.

It's the same with Microsoft, these two companies haven't actually gotten up yet, and it's still difficult to make money!

This is also the reason why Wu Cheng did not ask anyone to inquire about Apple and Microsoft after he came here.

However, since the guy who didn't die was sent to the door by himself, Wu Cheng didn't mind investing a little, and it was estimated that he could buy all his companies without one million Hong Kong dollars.

Seeing that Jobs was fooling around as if he was a person who knew nothing, Wu Cheng couldn't help but laugh angrily and said, "Okay! I don't understand these technical terms you said. But when it comes to PCs, I'm sure I know no less than you do......"

As a traversal person, he naturally knows more than others in this regard, even if he can't compare it in terms of professional knowledge, but the development process of personal computers, Wu Cheng is clear.

"Your current operating system is unbelievably rudimentary...... Okay, you say it's the most advanced operating system out there, but I guess that's not what I'm looking for. ”

Wu Cheng looked at Jobs with a smile, making Jobs very light and see a hint of mockery in his eyes. Jobs didn't know that Wu Cheng did it on purpose, so he was very angry, feeling that Wu Cheng was blaspheming his professionalism and didn't know how to pretend to understand.

However, as a 'salesman', Jobs still has a certain level of literacy.

It's just that Wu Cheng didn't wait for him to continue to fool, but said bluntly: "I heard that you have a Microsoft company in the United States, oh! This company is still very small, but they are already ahead of many computer companies in the research of system software. I thought, you can work with them! If you're willing to introduce me to their executives, I thought, we can go on and talk about cooperation, don't you want me to invest in your company?"

"You...... Are you really willing to invest? Didn't you say that you are not optimistic about us?"

"I'm not optimistic about the present, but it doesn't mean that I'm not optimistic about its future!" Wu Cheng saw that his arrogance was suppressed by himself, so he smiled and said: "In fact, I am very optimistic about the development prospects of personal computers. It's just that the rate of return on income in this area cannot be compared with the film industry I am currently investing in. So, my interest is not very great. ”

After a pause, he added, "So, don't take me for a fool! I hate that you deceive me as an idiot who knows nothing, you know? This is the most unsuccessful part of your attempts to convince me, that you don't respect me enough, or that you only respect me superficially." In fact, you have always looked down on me as an Oriental, and think that you are the center of the world, right?"

"Oh no! I ......"

"Don't deny it, man. Your justification will only make me look down on you even more!"

"Okay! I apologize to you for my previous faux pas!"

Seeing the wisdom revealed in Wu Cheng's clear eyes, Jobs had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake, because he still wanted to get the investment cooperation he wanted from Wu Cheng.

"Maintain a humble attitude, this is the posture that cooperation should have!" Wu Cheng nodded and said: "I accept your apologies!" So, let's talk about how to cooperate!"

This time, Jobs learned to be obedient and stopped bragging, but he didn't stupidly tell Wu Cheng everything. It's just that what makes him a little helpless and disappointed is that Wu Cheng seems to know their details very well, which makes him unable to pit Wu Cheng even if he wants to. Yes, he was somewhat disappointed.

Wu Cheng also knew that this guy was not very honest, although he didn't know what the current state of Apple was, but he tried his best to say in a bad direction, just treat him as a shell company. In fact, Apple in this period is indeed an empty shell.

As a result, Wu Cheng injected $200,000 and got 45 percent of Apple's shares. This is somewhat different from what Wu Cheng imagined before.

However, thinking of the benefits that the 200,000 will bring to him in the future, he doesn't think much about it.

You know, 45 percent of the shares, nearly half. Although this stake will definitely be diluted after Apple gets up, the $200,000 in the future will definitely be a thousandfold rollover. Moreover, when the company needs to raise funds, Wu Cheng has the right to continue to make additional investments to ensure that the shares are not diluted too much to the greatest extent.

Later, under the matchmaking of Jobs, Wu Cheng met Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the two founders of Microsoft, who came from Albuquerque.

Today's Microsoft has only been established for more than a year, and it has not yet stood out from many software companies, and the company's value has not yet been fully reflected.

However, Wu Cheng doesn't mind investing at this time, since he has already invested in Apple, it is not bad for Microsoft.

Compared with Jobs's cunning, Gates and Allen are relatively better, but not much better. This also made Wu Cheng feel that these Yankees were very cunning, and they accidentally fell into the trap they set, don't look at these guys are still very young.

Fortunately, one of the good things about this country is that you can't do without a lawyer anywhere. That's why lawyers have a lot of status in the country.

There is a team of lawyers, and Wu Cheng is not afraid of what they are doing, not to mention, Wu Cheng is too familiar with Microsoft's operating system to be familiar with it. From the 'teasing death' system to the later 'steady teasing death' system, Wu Cheng has used it for one or two decades.

Of course, what he knows is only the operation effect, and as for how to write the system, it is naturally a blind eye. It's just that the current Microsoft has not yet developed into an operating system.

Their current business is nothing more than writing compilers for some software.

In the end, Wu Cheng also invested 200,000 yuan, which also accounted for 45% of the company's shares. At the same time, it also deployed a task for the company, which is to develop the operating system.

Gates is very excited about the development direction proposed by Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng also asked them to cooperate with Apple, so they are not afraid that there will be no market.

These two companies can actually complement each other.

……

With the few contracts just signed, bidding farewell to Lucas, Spielberg, Ovitz and Lansing, Wu Cheng went to Treasure Island with excitement and excitement, and after watching the rough cut of "The Wrong Car", Wu Cheng put forward a few opinions, and then flew back to Xiangjiang.

Only Zhao Yazhi picked up the airport, because Wu Cheng came back, and he only told her.

I went to California for nearly 20 days, and it has been more than a month since I last saw Zhao Yazhi, Wu Cheng was excited, and directly picked her up and turned around a few times.

Fortunately, Zhao Yazhi was wearing sunglasses and a hat, and no one found out for a while that this was the 'Huo Qingtong' in the 'Book of Swords and Enmity', otherwise, he would have to make headlines tomorrow.

Zhao Yazhi glared at Wu Cheng with some shame, but still took his hand and walked quickly towards the parking lot outside. After the two of them got into the car, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But before Zhao Yazhi could count Wu Cheng's chaos, Wu Cheng had already leaned over, picked up her pretty face, and kissed her lips. Zhao Yazhi was slightly stunned, and then put her arms around Wu Cheng's neck, and then responded, making Wu Cheng so excited that he almost did something bad in the car.

Fortunately, Zhao Yazhi finally came to his senses, felt a big hand on his chest doing something strange, bit directly on the tip of his tongue, and then glared at him and said, "Next time, watch me pay attention to you!"

"I can't help it, I can't help it!" Wu Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment, sneered, and finally changed the topic directly, saying, "By the way, Sister Zhi, how are the sales of my album?"

Zhao Yazhi also knew that Wu Cheng was changing the topic, but to him, she couldn't scold him, so she could only glare at him, and then cooperated: "In Xiangjiang, the sales of your album are still good, especially many musicians praise you like a god, and they think that if you take out a song from that album, it will be a classic among the classics." In addition, you are a new generation of young talents in Xiangjiang! Your book lovers are also quite ...... Well, awesome!"

"So how many have you sold in Xiangjiang?"

"It seems to be more than 100,000 last week!" Zhao Yazhi smiled awkwardly and said.

These days, she is busy, while she has to memorize the script of "Hui Ming", and at the same time she takes over the script of "Fa Qian Han" and plays the heroine, and she doesn't care much about Wu Cheng's album.

In fact, she knew that Wu Cheng had a connection with Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, how could he not know about this album, but he just brought it up casually in order to change the topic.

Wu Cheng smiled and didn't care, because he knew that Zhao Yazhi was busy, not only to be busy with filming, but also to take time to go back to the company to take a look at the financial statements. Wu Cheng also called her to take the mortgage of the house in the middle of the mountain, and there were not a lot of things she had to deal with.

Although Wu Cheng did not participate in the promotion of the album, the effect of the publicity tasks he assigned before leaving was not bad. TVB gave advertisements on the TVB side, the City Entertainment Daily also gave advertisements on the other side, the major radio stations took turns playing the songs in the album, Deng Lijun also helped him do the publicity by the way, and in addition, almost every corner of Xiangjiang has the cover advertisement of Wu Cheng's album, which can be described as the propaganda of '360 degrees without dead ends'.

And that album did not disappoint everyone, as soon as it came out, many people in the industry were so excited that they directly advertised Wu Cheng in the newspaper for free.

If this album is not popular, that's a strange thing!

Even Wu Chengcheng's unacceptable song "Phantom Night Rhapsody" raped by him and Leslie Cheung was praised as a classic by his fans, who felt that the words were too gorgeous.

Some people even think that this lyric can be adapted into a movie script.

And some fans of Deng Lijun feel that the cooperation between Wu Cheng and Deng Lijun is simply a match made in heaven, especially the song "Messy Red", which made countless people sad at the same time, and also regarded it as a divine comedy that perfectly matches the piano and Zhu Xiao.

Of course, some people think that Wu Cheng is advertising Deng Lijun, and there are many people who scold him.

But it's a pity that Wu Cheng is a typical example of the more he scolds, the more he gets hotter.
