"Of course not." Tang Huan shook his head, "But we must first understand that with Morgan Stanley's position on Wall Street, it is indeed Apple's best partner, which can guarantee the success of the IPO to the greatest extent, and we do not need to change underwriters, but should try to make the other party understand the value of an emerging technology company like Apple." ”

"Then you go and lobby them." Jobs looked stupid, "Morgan Stanley, these self-righteous guys, are very stubborn, otherwise they wouldn't have broken up last time." ”

"Everyone here can't talk about it, and naturally I can't." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "But we can find another non-traditional investment bank that is familiar with the emerging technology industry and is optimistic about the future prospects to assist Morgan Stanley, and if the two go hand in hand, it can also put some pressure on Morgan Stanley." ”

Hearing this idea, many people's eyes lit up, and Makula asked, "Don, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

"Humber Quest in San Francisco seems to be doing well." Tang Huan shrugged, "But I've only heard about it, and the specific situation will not be clear until after contact." ”

"Since it's your suggestion, it's up to you to contact you." Makula finally had a relaxed smile on his face.

Tang Huan secretly pondered that since he wanted to take advantage of the video game boom to promote EA into the stock market to make money, it was naturally necessary for these investment bankers to spend time making friends.

"Okay, I can try." Tang Huan nodded, "But I'm only responsible for matchmaking, if the other party is willing to participate." Then bring it here. Communicate further with everyone. ”

"Then it's settled. I'm going to go to the Lisa project team and have a look. Jobs dropped the sentence and got up and walked away.

"There's still a lot of unready release work on the Apple III side, and I'm going to push it over." Robert did the same, and went with him.

Are you busy? Brother is not easy wow.

"I'm going to contact Humboquist." After Tang Huan chatted with Macura for a few words, he returned to Zheru's office.

San Francisco Mayor Feinstein's boyfriend Richard? Bu Lan is an investment banker, and Tang Huan has his contact information, so he lazily made a phone call to the other party. Entrust him to find the head of the Humber Quest family on his behalf.

"I'm going to your office from Cupertino right away, hoping to hear good news when I arrive." Tang Huan had already eaten with the other party several times and played golf once, and the relationship was very close, so he was more casual in speaking.

"Well, young people are always so impatient." Blan smiled and agreed.

Soon, Tang Huan met Hambrecht and George Quist, two of Humber Quest's partners, Humber and Quest.

In fact, Tang Huan only revealed his tone slightly. As a result, they came together, which shows that they do have a great interest in emerging technology companies.

After the pleasantries. Tang Huan directly introduced the situation that Apple was currently encountering.

45-year-old Bill? Humber, a graduate of Princeton University, was the first of his kind in his previous life to conduct IPOs through the Internet, the so-called "OpenIPO" model, which helped several technology companies successfully go public, and the most famous of them is Google.

"In this way, Apple is very unhappy with Morgan Stanley's conservative attitude, so it wants us to take a different perspective and re-evaluate." Humble's eyes sparkled with shrewdness.

"Morgan Stanley's performance this time is really substandard, they don't understand that around Apple's second-generation machine, a promising new application ecosystem is forming, no matter how the personal computer industry develops in the future, it will still roughly follow this model."

Tang Huan said this, picked up a pen and paper, and drew a schematic diagram, below are the hardware manufacturers of Apple computers, in the middle are all kinds of software, above are educational institutions, hotels, supermarkets, small and medium-sized enterprises, etc., as well as individual users.

"This is only the area where Apple's computer tentacles are currently reached, and I believe that with the advent of new products with stronger performance in the future, the market will be further expanded." Tang Huan smiled leisurely.

"In this way, Apple's appreciation space is really not ordinary, and those venture capitalists in Silicon Valley have made money this time." Bu Lan, who was amazed, showed a look of envy on his face.

Both Humber and Quest also showed more interest, with the former saying, "Can we visit Apple tomorrow?" I believe that after a visit to the site, the feeling will be more real. ”

"Of course you're welcome." Tang Huan smiled and nodded, "If you are not afraid of trouble, you can first visit my Zheru company, which is currently the largest independent software developer and enterprise solution provider in the personal computer market, connecting computer hardware and specific users, I believe it will have greater inspiration for you." If Bulan is free, you are also welcome to visit. ”

The three of them did not notice Tang Huan's intention to carry private goods, and they all nodded happily in agreement.

Everyone talked happily, and time passed quickly, until Fan Shidan came, they realized that it was dark outside, and hurriedly said goodbye.

"Don, you're here too." Fan Shidan laughed, "I was about to contact you to inform you of the results, you can choose whether to accept that invitation or not, if you really don't feel at ease, you can watch the regular White House press conference on TV tomorrow." ”

"I see, thank you very much." Hearing the news, Tang Huan couldn't help but feel relaxed in his heart, of course he wanted to go to the opening ceremony of the Moscow Olympics to take a turn, this kind of excitement was the only time.

In order to grasp the attitude of the White House more accurately, Tang Huan came to the office early the next day, turned on the TV and waited.

Just as Feinstein said, when a reporter asked how the White House viewed the Soviet Union's frequent invitations to celebrities from all walks of life in the United States to attend the opening ceremony after the Moscow Olympics were boycotted, in an attempt to regain the lost influence, the spokesman replied succinctly that this was just a people-to-people exchange activity and that the White House would not interfere.

"Political tricks are often a kind of statement." Tang Huan muttered in his heart and turned off the TV casually.

Han Bo, Quest, and Blan arrived as scheduled, Tang Huan took them to visit, and naturally took them to EA for a walk, and coincidentally pretended to be forced on the spot calmly, and directly signed the document on the purchase of Luen Mei Sicheng shares.

This made the three of them secretly shocked that the ability of emerging technology companies to attract money is so strong that they can all counterattack traditional old companies.

As soon as Tang Huan was about to send them to Apple, Christina came happily, "Don, your private jet has been modified and can be used, let's go to Seattle to have a look." (To be continued......)
