Chapter 910: Uninvited Guest
The call was made quickly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Mr. Jobs, I'm Li Heng, and I have something very important to report to you." Li Heng said.
Jobs had just arrived at the office and was enjoying a cup of coffee.
He's in a pretty good mood.
The R&D center has good news, and the R&D elites believe that they can come up with a functional design and APP improvement to compete with the new functions of the lightning speed mobile phone launched by Lightning Technology in the short term.
Although this time it was chasing others, which made Jobs unhappy.
However, he is also very happy if he can overwhelm the thunder mobile phone and regain the leading position.
"Lee, you can say it." Jobs said.
Jobs thought it was the acquisition of Lightning Technology that would soon become apparent.
"That's right, Mr. Jobs, today, there was a news item in my country's "Nandu Daily", which said that Japan's Mitsui wants to invest $1 billion in Lightning Technology......
Li Heng was talking, and Jobs interrupted his words suddenly: "What? Mitsui wants to invest 10 billion in Lightning Technology? ”
An investment of $1000 million will make a company with huge potential suddenly burst out with strong market energy! This is definitely not a good thing for Apple.
That's why Jobs was so nervous.
"Yes, Mitsui wants to invest 10 billion in Lightning Technology, and they even only ask for 30% of the shares, however, their investment request was categorically rejected by Zheng Xiao, who said that his Lightning Technology company is not short of money and does not want anyone's investment." Li Heng said with a wry smile.
"Oh? He turned down a billion dollar investment? Jobs was stunned again.
The investment of $1 billion can increase the company's development speed exponentially, and allow Lightning to seize more markets.
They turned it down.
If that's the case, if you want to buy Lightning Technology for $2 billion, you don't even think about it.
"Yes, they refused." Li Heng said.
"......" Jobs did not answer for a while.
What to do? Will you abandon the offer? Jobs was a little unwilling.
He believes that this may be his only and last chance to acquire Lightning Technology, and if he misses it, he will never get it.
However, if Zheng Xiao doesn't even want others to invest, will he sell his company?
No matter how you look at it now, I don't think it's possible enough.
2 billion wants to buy lightning technology, it is estimated that it is impossible.
To what extent does the price increase to have the possibility of impressing Zheng Xiao?
The saddest thing for Jobs is that he doesn't have much spare money to spend on acquisitions, and if he tries his best to complete this acquisition, I'm afraid he will have to finance the vampires on Wall Street, right?
Jobs shook his head, a little annoyed.
He has always prided himself on Apple's innovative prowess.
Now, a little lightning technology can force him to be so embarrassed, which is really embarrassing!
"Li, I don't know if you mentioned the invitation to Zheng Xiaoti about the acquisition of Lightning Technology?" Jobs asked.
"Not yet, Mr. Jobs." Li Heng said.
"If you haven't mentioned it, then you will never mention it again, I still don't believe it, Apple's innovation power can still make a newly established company compare! Lee, work hard, if there's nothing to do, then hang up. Jobs said.
……
In a blink of an eye, it is the New Year's Day festival when Vientiane is renewed.
At 8:30 a.m. on January 1, 2008, Carlton Hotel in Shenzhen.
The entrance of the hotel is lit up and bustling.
The red carpet was laid out outside the hotel.
The hotel's electronic display screen reads "Congratulations on the grand launch of the Lightning Technology product launch". On both sides of the hotel's door, huge flower baskets are already placed.
Zheng Xiao stood at the entrance of the hotel.
Behind him, Wei Minggang stood energetically with two bodyguards, and several beautiful girls in red cheongsams stood waiting, waiting to put corsages on the guests.
"Mr. Zheng, it's too cold outside, and it's a little too early for you to come out, why don't you go and sit in the hall for a while, and then there will be guests coming, I'll inform you, and then you come out again, how about it?" Wei Minggang said.
Although the Shenzhen market has a subtropical climate, a few days ago there was a cold wave, and the temperature turned over and dropped, and now the temperature is only six or seven degrees.
And Zheng Xiao is just wearing a shirt and suit, which is slightly thin.
In addition, the press conference officially started at half past 10 o'clock, generally speaking, big-name guests will not come so early, and it will not be until about 10 o'clock before the big names come.
"Brother Wei, it's okay, I'm okay, I'm quite cold-resistant, just like a reception time of more than an hour, standing here early won't lose etiquette and offend a guest." Zheng Xiao smiled and rejected Wei Minggang's proposal.
As they talked, a black sedan turned a corner and headed for the porch.
Zheng Xiao looked at it and was hung with the license plate of Shaanxi Province.
Moreover, this license plate seems to be a little familiar.
He immediately knew who it was.
When the car stopped at the door of the hotel, Zheng Xiao greeted it with a smile and opened the back door with his own hands.
"Uncle Zhang, good morning! I really didn't expect you to come! Zheng Xiao said with a smile at Zhang Hongxing who came out of the car.
"You kid, don't make such a big deal quietly, and don't talk to me, if it weren't for reading the newspaper, I really didn't know that you actually drummed up a smartphone operating system and a smart phone! I, this time I'm here to inspect the work in Shenzhen, so I'll come and have a look by the way! Zhang Hongxing and Zheng Xiao hugged and said.
"I was too busy some time ago to report to you, I thought that when it was really done, I would report to you again, and I would be even more confident." Zheng Xiao said with a smile.
"You, you! I really don't know how to say hello to you! When it's done, what will happen to me? I'm here this time, and I'm also here to make a fate for you! Zhang Hongxing said, "Xiaoxiao, I hope you can make a follow-up investment in Xijing, Xijing is very much in need of a high-tech company like Lightning Technology to settle down!" ”
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry! Xijing is my hometown, no matter what, I won't treat my hometown badly! In the future, I will choose to land in Xijing for the second factory of Lightning Technology. Zheng Xiao said.
"Really?" Zhang Hongxing was overjoyed.
"Of course it's true." Zheng Xiao smiled, "Uncle Zhang, please take a break and drink tea first." ”
"It's okay, I'll talk to you here for a while, anyway, we haven't seen each other for a while." Zhang Hongxing patted Zheng Xiao's shoulder with emotion and said with a smile.
The two of them stood in the doorway and began to chat.
Zhang Hongxing is most concerned about the production and introduction of smart phones to the market.
I discussed this with Zheng Xiao for a long time.
