Chapter 400: The Idea of the Giant

Chapter 400: The Idea of the Giant

"Gentlemen, I want you to know that Apple has entered a critical moment of life and death." Jobs propped his hands on the table and looked at the many directors below. Although Steve Jobs is not Apple's largest shareholder, he is Apple's largest individual shareholder, and he is the founder of Apple, and has brought Apple from a company with a market capitalization of just $6 billion to today's market capitalization of $45 billion.

Jobs's prestige in Apple is undoubted, no one can argue with this, Apple once squeezed Jobs out, but what is the result? As a result, Apple almost collapsed, and in the end, it was reluctant to buy another company that Jobs founded, and then rehired Jobs to serve as chairman of the board of directors and the company's e.

"Maybe you can't stand this fact, but I can't help but tell you, I have used the mobile phone that Mr. Zhang Yang brought over, it is no exaggeration, if this mobile phone is really on the market, I think I will consume one, everyone, here are two prototypes, you can try it, although it is a little simple, but with our Apple hardware, and our experience in making ID, this is simply tailor-made for us." Jobs continued earnestly.

"Aren't we going to make an acquisition?" One of the directors couldn't help but speak. "This gentleman, if he had such a tool in his hand, would he just sell her? What's more, the other party still has its own company, even if it doesn't cooperate with our Apple, he can cooperate with any mobile phone manufacturer in the world, they don't have any loss if they lose our Apple, but if Apple loses this opportunity, what are we left with? ”

Jobs's sense of crisis is very heavy, in the last life, the INE series of mobile phones, from the beginning Apple did not treat it as a mobile phone, but as a wireless possible personal mobile phone terminal, but now this concept has been taken by Zhang Yang, in the market, and other aspects, Apple is still unable to compete with other manufacturers, unless Apple is willing to return to laptops, or other aspects.

But although Apple still has laptops and other businesses, because of Apple's stubbornness, Apple's system, etc., its users are actually not many, but if Apple rolls out these and uses another system platform, then Apple is still Apple? This is a very tangled problem, because Apple has a fixed user base because of its stubbornness, and it has also lost a lot of customer base because of its stubbornness.

But when Apple puts that aside, what is left of Apple? "This is the company's business report that I made, you can take a look, look at the current situation of Apple, I think there will be a visual reflection, if we stay the same, then we may be able to connect the current situation, but when five years from now, ten years from now? The world is progressing, but we are still in the same place. After Jobs finished speaking, he asked his assistant to send a copy of the information in his hand to the board members below.

And he is sitting in his place, quietly thinking about the problem, although the board of directors has been in session for the past few days, but Jobs has not stopped thinking about it, starting from ID, Jobs has been looking for a future for Apple, at the moment Apple is surrounded by thorns, trying to find a broad road from these thorns, in fact, it is not so easy.

It seems that Apple does not seem to have any contradiction with other high-tech giants in the United States, but that is because people no longer regard Apple as a competitor at all! And when the young man named Zhang Yang presented the mobile phone in front of Jobs, Jobs's mind was as if someone had lit up, and a new road belonging to Apple was presented in front of Jobs.

With the growth of technology, what is the increasing penetration rate in the world? Not a computer, not a laptop, but a mobile phone! The up-and-comer of mobile phones is spreading almost at a terrifying rate on a global scale! Now even some poor places in Africa have the existence of mobile phones, and with the growth of science and technology, the cost of mobile phones is getting lower and lower, and the penetration rate of mobile phones is getting higher and higher.

Although there are many mobile phone manufacturers at present, there are no giants that really occupy the dominant field, unlike the personal computer market, and other fields that Apple is good at at at all have dominant giants! The board was not quiet at all, and Jobs found that the reports were rummaging through the hands of these directors, and they were also discussing.

It wasn't until half an hour later that an old man with gray hair sitting on the south side coughed twice and said, "Mr. Jobs." "You, Mr. Camo." Jobs nodded slightly, this old man represents an investment group, and his opinion also influences the opinion of the vast majority of shareholders.

"Hehe, everyone knows that our investment group is only for profit, and it doesn't matter how many shares we occupy, as long as we have money to make, it's not a problem for the other party to want Apple's shares, the only problem is that Apple will never allow the other party to get absolute control, even if we can shrink our shareholding ratio and give him 49% of the shares, but he is never allowed to get absolute control, which must be written in the contract." The old man looked at Jobs seriously.

"Is this the opinion of the people?" Jobs's gaze turned to the others, "Well, let's do it." If you agree with me to negotiate with the other side on full propriety, then I shall now raise your hand and include the comments that Mr. Camo has just made. Jobs looked around and spoke.

"I agree." Mr. Carmo was the first to raise his hand, and then several more shareholders raised their hands, and Jobs naturally raised his hand as well, although the influence of his shares is minimal, but his personal charm and influence are undoubted!

Soon half of the shareholders raised their hands, which means that the number of shareholders who agreed to the plan exceeded 51 percent, and the resolution was officially passed within Apple's board of directors. Seeing that the results had come out, Carmo immediately stood up and stretched out his fat hand to Jobs and said, "Steve, I hope that Apple will be more developed in my hands." ”

"It's my dream." Jobs smiled slightly, and reached out to shake Camo's hand. When Zhang Yang was eating in the restaurant, and Will was following behind like a fart, Zhang Yang received Jobs' Hotline. "Mr. Zhang Yang, I think we can negotiate." Jobs gets straight to the point.

"It's really good news, it looks like we didn't miss this Spring Festival in vain, and I think we can negotiate." Zhang Yang immediately said with a smile. "Okay, then I'll send someone to pick up Mr. Zhang now." Jobs was certainly more anxious than Zhang Yang, and signing the contract a day earlier meant that Apple would start embarking on this unknown path one day earlier.

"Okay." After two sentences, the two hung up Hotline. "Apple agreed?" When Zhang Yang hung up Hotline, Xia Yueyue, who was sitting at a table, couldn't care about being depressed because of Will next to him, and looked at Zhang Yang with a shocked face and asked. Zhang Yang smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's right, they have agreed to start formal negotiations, of course, how many shares we can get, it depends on our negotiation art." ”

Although everyone had already prepared when they heard Zhang Yang talk about Hotline, when Zhang Yang personally said this sentence, Xia Yueyue and they were still stunned, including Yun Wei and Zhao Fei, who looked at Zhang Yang's eyes strangely, as if there was a circle of light behind Zhang Yang's head.

Who can imagine that a person with only a broken phone can go to a company with a market value of $45 billion and sell it to the other party with unashamed demands? Who would have imagined that such a broken phone could sell for a high price of $20 billion! Who could have imagined that a man with just a cell phone could get a $45 billion company to agree to trade half of his company's shares?

Who can imagine? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Xia Yueyue would definitely think that this was a fantasy, but now this matter was so alive in front of them. Xia Yueyue couldn't imagine what a huge sensation the world would cause when this news got out!

It's too late to describe it as a sensation, but it has to be described as a ground movement! What is this concept? How big is Star Group? The market value is $100 million, but this $100 million company has half of the $45 billion market value.

Although the negotiation has not yet begun, since the other party is willing to negotiate, then it proves that there is absolutely a possibility that the negotiation will be successful, or the other party is mentally prepared. Shaking his hand in front of several people, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I, can we go, if one day, our company becomes the company with the highest market value in the world, will we continue to be shocked?" ”

Zhang Yang's words made several people come back to their senses suddenly, Zhao Fei and Yun Wei glanced at each other, Zhao Fei smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I have not lived in vain in my life, and this kind of miracle can also be seen." "Haha, we'll see more miracles in the future." A wave of the high-spirited hand! This is actually not a miracle, what Zhang Yang is looking forward to now is that when the infected insect system can run at full capacity one day, where will the Star Group go!

Of course, before that, we must find out the tiger hidden in the dark and darkness!
