Chapter 0188: An Undercurrent on Apple's Board of Directors
Recently, Tang Huan has paid the most attention to Apple, and nothing is the progress of preparations for the stock listing.
Morgan Stanley, who broke up with Apple at the beginning, returned to his desk, after all, everyone quarrels and quarrels, but there is no need to get along with money.
Another important reason is the addition of a new member of the cooperation - Humber Quest Company.
And the two partners of this investment bank, Humber and Quest, also worked very hard, carefully learned about Apple, and did a lot of homework.
Seeing that the food on his plate might be snatched away, Morgan Stanley naturally had to change his attitude, and the work finally started again.
In the original time and space, Apple's IPO, a total of 4.6 million shares were issued, and the bankers set a price of $22 per share, and by the end of the day, the stock price rose to $29 per share, and in terms of financing, Apple received $101 million.
But the performance of that version of Apple is obviously far from this time and space.
Driven by Tang Huan's software and function expansion cards, the application scope of Apple's second-generation machine has expanded from personal, family, and education to the commercial field of small and medium-sized companies, and the current monthly sales are approaching 20,000 units, which is basically the market sales level of the old version of Apple more than a year later.
With the boom in sales and sales, Apple's outlets across the United States have sprung up like mushrooms.
So the net worth of Apple is not comparable to the old version of Apple.
The in-depth Humber Quest company noticed this and believed that there were still irregularities in Apple's asset management, and suggested that it be re-evaluated. And Morgan Stanley also voted in favor.
This also means: Apple's IPO is likely to issue more than 4.6 million shares.
As soon as I heard that Apple now has more money than it does on the books. The shareholders were naturally overjoyed, so in the more than a month since Tang Huan left Silicon Valley, they divided their troops into several routes, and they were busy at the headquarters, factories, outlets, etc.
The final results also show that Apple, which is in its infancy, has many management problems in the case of rapid development of its performance in almost a month. In particular, there are many statistical errors in the outlets that are blooming everywhere.
While the shareholders were happy, they also felt distrust of Apple's current management, such as CEO Scott, and even began to consider whether it should be replaced by a more capable leader.
Of course, these accounts can be calculated later, and the stock listing is the top priority at present.
Now that you've figured out your family, let's move on to the calculation of shares. Let's see if the extra part is distributed to the shareholders. It is still sold directly to the public, but no matter who is a decimal point, it is almost a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it is not careless.
Everyone has been arguing about this for days, but Apple's normal operation has not been affected.
I have to say that sometimes it is wonderful here in the United States, just like in the previous life, when the congressional budget was not passed, which led to the closure of the federal government for a period of time, while the United States as a whole is still running smoothly, there is always a subtle check and balance.
Tang Huan is also a shareholder of Apple, and as soon as he returns to the United States, he naturally has to participate in this matter immediately, and he can't just send a representative, or simply wait lazily for the final result.
After Tang Huan came to Apple, he was involuntarily involved in the open and secret struggle of "talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money", and even found that his shares were diluted.
Ah, you feel that you are full-fledged, so you don't care about your brother's mood, and you dare to join forces to squeeze me.
Tang Huan stared at Makula, and the other party shrugged helplessly and smiled wryly.
You just pretend to be a good person, Tang Huan snorted in his heart, and his eyes fell on Jobs again.
This guy is even more unkind, with an obvious schadenfreude expression on his face, and the meaning in his eyes is clear: "You are blessed, in order to keep my old book, I have long promised not to speak randomly."
As for Woz, the other founder of Apple, this guy simply didn't come to the scene.
Originally, the two founders of Cisco, Leonard Bossak and Sandra Lerner, were eventually swept away by the board of directors and left the company they founded.
Therefore, Tang Huan did not dare to underestimate the undercurrent on Apple's board of directors, and now Apple does not have so many norms to talk about, and the final discussion result is often reached by compromising with multiple forces, and no one will pay attention to the frustration of the victims.
Tang Huan was pondering in his heart, and suddenly felt that a gaze was secretly looking at him, he looked over suddenly, and saw that it was Robert, so he grinned.
Maybe the white swaying front teeth are too lethal, and the other party's face changes in fright.
And Tang Huan leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, and began to hum "Farewell My Concubine" in a low voice, "I stand in the gale......"
It turned out that he remembered from Robert that this guy is currently in charge of Apple's third-generation aircraft project, and it is said that the market response seems to be good, but this pit is impossible to cross it directly.
Originally, Tang Huan only thought that the doomed failure of Apple's third-generation machine was a meaningful wake-up call to Apple, but now it seems that it may play another role.
Robert, who felt that he was out of shape, was a little annoyed, and in order to save face, he took the initiative to say: "It's not a way to keep arguing like this, someone has to make concessions." Don, you don't really think that you can enjoy the same treatment as a founder, and don't be too obsessed with the shareholding ratio, not to mention that Marcura, Jobs, and Watts have also made sacrifices. ”
"My proportion is much smaller than theirs, and there are as many points as there are to give up. Tang Huan unceremoniously pushed back Robert's righteous and awe-inspiring words.
"Your console company is making a lot of money, even the newspapers report it every day, advertise it for you for free, and you've found a treasure under the sea, so why bother. Robert continued to persuade, but there was a sneer in his tone.
"With the software I developed specifically for Apple computers, I deserve this treatment. Tang Huan showed a proud look on his face, "I explain too much to you, I guess you can't understand it." ”
Robert snorted, "But Zheru's current software is not exclusive to the Apple platform. ”
Tang Huan didn't answer this question, raised his hand and looked at the time, "I have other things to do, I'll leave first, you continue to discuss, don't worry about my feelings, just notify the result at the end." ”
Tang Huan stood up and walked to the door, as if he remembered something, and turned back to Robert and asked, "By the way, how is the sales performance of Apple III?"
"The market response has been good, and we are looking for a time to celebrate. Robert replied triumphantly.
"Well, when the celebration is held, don't forget to ask me to join in the fun. After Tang Huan said something playfully, he walked away. (To be continued......)
