Roy smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, if you know Jobs privately, you know how awesome this company will be in the future." ”

Noah was surprised: "Is it Steve Jobs, who was banished by Apple, which he founded for 11 years?" ”

As soon as Roy saw that there was a play, he hurriedly continued and said, "That's right." He had already returned to Apple last year, and he was a complete genius, and I believe that in a few years, Apple's stock would multiply several times, or even dozens of times...... "The future is hundreds of times greater than anyone can imagine."

Noah showed a look of reminiscence, it was 1978, or maybe 1980, when a little-known company designed a well-received Apple second-generation computer, not long after the computer was launched, it immediately swept the United States, and the name Jobs became famous for a while.

Noah's second generation of Apple has not been used many times after buying it back, but the exquisite design of the computer has always attracted him, especially the second generation of Apple has designed an independent power supply, which is not as easy to heat as ordinary power supplies, so it does not use a noisy fan to cool down, which makes the use experience of the product particularly quiet.

Listening to Noah talk about Apple's second-generation computers, Roy could even imagine that at that time, Jobs was proud, arrogant, and went his own way.

Because Apple's second generation became an instant hit, Jobs also had a lot of money to experiment with new products. In fact, before Jobs was kicked out by Apple's board of directors, the entire company made a series of unreliable products, but it was precisely because Apple's second generation has been selling well and providing the company with a steady stream of cash that the company has survived.

After Noah sighed, he commented: "Jobs is really amazing, I am deeply impressed. ”

Roy secretly praised it, and sure enough, the hero saw the same thing.

"But ......," Noah continued, "a few years after Apple's listing in 1980, the stock began to fall for more than ten consecutive years, and its market value shrank by nearly 90% from its peak. I really can't understand why you would be interested in such a precarious company. ”

"Because Steve Jobs is back."

Roy was anxious, but empty of his words. It is because in the second half of this year, Apple's stock will begin to rise, so it can take advantage of the decline in the first half of the year to carefully lay out and make a lot of money in the future. You know, although Jobs is now only an advisor to Apple's board of directors and will not officially take over the position of CEO until 1999, he has now begun to use his influence to improve the chaotic Apple little by little.

Noah shook his head, "In the 11 years since Jobs left Apple, has he achieved anything?" No! Not only did he lose all the more than $70 million he made from selling his Apple shares, but he also didn't make a decent product, and now, even if he returns to Apple, nothing will change, and who knows if he will be expelled from the company for a second time because of Jobs' arrogant temper? ”

This...... Roy had nothing to say. Judging from the analysis of past historical achievements, Jobs is indeed exhausted, and it seems that he is just a tide maker who flashes like a bright meteor.

"Noah, are you too decisive to judge a person like this? You must know that everyone has a low ebb in their life, even when Jobs was at a low point in his life, he also did two big things, such as the establishment of a computer company and the acquisition of Pixar Animation Studio, it was the 11 years of continuous adversity that polished him, so that Jobs from the young genius who didn't know the height of the sky, really transformed into a mature, modest, and critical moment to know how to consider the overall situation of the CEO. ”

Noah got up and stood up, closed the coffin and said, "It's all your family's opinion, I don't want to discuss this topic anymore." ”

Roy then stood up and confronted, his emotions were a little uncontrollable, this time he returned as the king, and he relied on investing in Apple to achieve his status as the richest man in the world, and he said it well, now he doesn't even give the opportunity to continue to communicate, I think Noah's position as CEO is the end. "Are you sure you want to be so arbitrary?"

"Roy! That's exactly what I'm going to say to you! Are you sure you want to gamble and generally impose risk on the company's head at the expense of shareholders' interests? ”

"Gambling? So you tell me, what step is the company taking that is not a risk? However, visionaries are always ahead of their time and stand out with their business insights. ”

"Nonsense. Is this a nature? ”

"How not? We now have a world-class payment platform, and the future financing capacity is stronger than that of an ordinary bank, and the daily turnover of hundreds of billions of dollars on the platform is wasted? Our company has always taken the route of investment management, and now I just found a good opportunity as an entry point. ”

Noah snorted coldly: "Apple's market value of more than 300,000, you tell me, how can we acquire it?" Before Roy could answer, he continued: "Is it possible to use three or five times the market interest rate to absorb the savings of platform users? Such a radical approach will lead the company to ruin! ”

"Risk and benefit are always proportional." Roy felt that the two were completely deadlocked, and he proposed again: "Otherwise, let's set up a separate department responsible for investment, I am the person in charge, and I will bear all the responsibilities personally, okay?" ”

Noah said coldly: "But! This result will not change anything, and the money you lose will be paid by the whole company in the end. ”

"Non-negotiable?"

"As long as I'm still in the day, there won't!"

Good, good, good, guy. Roy said disdainfully in his heart, he really forgot about the Buddha when he flew out of Wuzhi Mountain, and you can sit too comfortably in the position of CEO.

Today's communication also made Roy think about one thing, that is, why should such a good thing as the acquisition of Apple be shared with the other 51% of shareholders? To make money for them, you have to endure doubts, criticism, and comments.

There's nothing worse than becoming famous after death.

It looks like I'm going to recreate the plan. I thought that my prestige would make the enemy bow down, but now it seems that it is still a little hot.

It's just that even if Apple's stock falls again, it will not be less than 3 billion, and if you want to acquire it, you will have to have a budget of at least 4 billion or more, and more if you are conservative. Roy now has an empty equity, let alone cash, and it is difficult to even cash out, where can he get so much money? It's a long, long way from just paying without worry.

This acquisition of Apple has a long way to go.

But time waits for no one, and it can't drag on for a day.

Now Roy has seen the apple as his own forbidden body, so he only has it in his eyes full of eagerness.

He has a firm belief: don't hit the south wall, never look back.

……

As soon as Roy returned to the office, Ulysses came to him.

"Boss, woo...... You're finally back......" Ulysses's eyes were moist and full of emotion, which made Roy's steely heart soften.

"Sure enough, it's good to be a brother, and I'm glad to see you again." Roy patted the other party's shoulder fiercely, expressing the emotion in his heart from the bottom of his heart. Noah, who used to work closely together, now has hard wings, and he can't even listen to his own words, only Ulysses, the brother, still spoils himself and fights wherever he wants. I have to say that I am so lucky and so happy.

The two of them relied on me, told each other their heartfelt feelings, and interpreted the brotherly love to smell and move, and listened to tears.

After the greetings, Ulysses said a little embarrassed: "Boss, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have made up my mind to prepare to start my own business, and I am here to say goodbye to you today." ”
