Steve Jobs stepped down from his position as CEO last year after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As a Buddhist and vegetarian, Jobs was not prepared for surgery, and he was resistant to modern mainstream medicine. But this year, I had to have surgery, and it seems that I just had surgery to remove the tumor in July...... Coming back to Apple so soon? What an iron man!

After Steve Jobs was kicked out of his home by Apple, he started a new company, Next. Someone once quipped, "The only lesson he learned from being kicked out of his house by Apple is that you have to own 51% of the company you set up so you can't get kicked out." ”

Jobs's remarkable thing is that he successfully ran Next, which resulted in the acquisition of Next by Apple's board of directors for $377.5 million in cash and 1.5 million shares of Apple nearly 10 years later. Jobs also took advantage of this to return to Apple with the posture of returning as a king. The return of the king this time will naturally not be as simple as playing.

Recently, he was keenly aware of the opportunities in the mobile phone business, but when he was about to start research and development, he found that the backbone of Apple's computer production and design departments was almost hollowed out, especially the R&D personnel of the iOS system.

In addition to his storied experience at Apple, Steve Jobs also had another illustrious history. In 1986, Jobs spent 10 million yuan to buy a computer animation studio, and Jobs named the company Pixar, produced the world's first all-computer-produced "9 animated feature film "Toy Story", and launched films such as "Finding Nemo".

Disney is planning to buy Steve Jobs' animation company outright, which is a behemoth. Without $5 billion, it can't be moved at all. If the acquisition is successful. Jobs will become Disney's largest individual shareholder. Holds shares in Disney.

For the past 10 years, Mr. Jobs has received only $1 a year from Apple. The wealth comes mainly from the 138 million shares of Disney stock and 5.426 million shares of Apple stock.

In another time and space, Apple's stock price continued to rise after the release of the iPhone two years later, and Jobs's assets grew with it. However, compared with the tens of billions of dollars in net worth of Microsoft founder Gates, Oracle founder Ellison and others, Jobs's current net worth is slightly inferior, and the disparity in the proportion of shares is the main reason why Jobs and Gates are not currently worth the same weight class.

In the eyes of the industry, Jobs's biggest mistake was to sell his holdings of about 6.5 million Apple shares (about 11.3% of Apple at the time) in a fit of rage when he was kicked out of his home by Apple's board of directors. Although Jobs later regained a lot of Apple stock when he returned to Apple, it did not account for a large percentage of the company's overall share capital. Apple currently has a total share capital of 927.1 million shares. Jobs holds 5.426 million shares, accounting for only about 0.585% of the shares. If Jobs hadn't sold those Apple shares, then with his Disney shares, Jobs' personal wealth might have surpassed Gates's.

Of course, this time and space is even more inferior, as the CEO of Apple, his own Apple shares are not even more than 3% of Chen Tiandu's.

Chen Tiandu saw Jobs's accusation and responded jokingly: "I admire his courage and perseverance in fighting cancer, but this is business competition, you don't have the ability to study smartphones." At the same time, he was given an ace wave OK invitation code. Invite him to sign up for ace wave ok.

Jobs was, what a theory is this. It's actually up to the point of not studying smartphones.

He ignored Chen Tiandu's joking provocation, but accepted his invitation and registered an account on Ace Wave OK. On the first day of his landing, he only posted a work photo and said "hi", which triggered a group of worshipping college students to worship idols, and the number of followers exceeded 200,000 on the first day.

It's no wonder.,Who is called ace wave ok's current mainstream user group is still students.。

However, Jobs's "annoyance and anger" woke up Chen Tiandu and directly sent an acquisition negotiation to Apple's computer design department. Since it was no longer possible to steal people secretly, he simply went directly to rob them openly.

This move is tantamount to a direct declaration, "What is rich and capricious." ”

Unknown spectators and media gathered to watch. I don't understand what kind of grudge Chen Tiandu has with Apple, and wants to hollow out other people's teams like this.

This can be regarded as the second major event that Chen Tiandu did after falling into the passivity of public opinion, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations: he did not show weakness at all, but gradually strengthened his matrix empire blueprint.

What started out as a few ideas has now begun to move towards reality.

The decision to buy the division so quickly was largely due to a proposal from Shirley Sandberg.

Because the research and development of the "matrix smartphone" has made breakthroughs, compared with the previous slow research and development progress, all this has been improved after poaching a few Apple R&D elites. Shirley Sandberg, who tasted the sweetness, naturally wanted to eat more desserts, she was not a good person, and the mall was like a battlefield, especially after learning that Apple was also starting to work on its own smartphone system.

Digging, digging up with roots and soil, and buying directly if you can't dig it.

This is courage, but it is also appreciated by Chen Tiandu, and the two of them are as bold and presumptuous.

This kind of behavior of no one in his eyes naturally caused Jobs to "blurt out" on the ace wave ok, saying that "Apple's computer design department is an inseparable whole, not for sale." ”

It's a pity that his shares are too small, and for those major shareholders, it is not impossible to sell some of them, "The soldiers will not shake the foundation." But Chen Tian's want is this part, with the original backbone elites of Apple's design department joining, his matrix mobile phone research and development progress will advance by leaps and bounds.

It also began to implement the previously planned action to move the headquarters of Matrix Mobile to China. With Chen Tiandu's current influence, it is not too easy to directly ask for a tax reduction quota for a key government support unit. Everyone knows that catching this big crocodile is equivalent to a sharp rise in taxes. San-Ya is the most striking example.

foundries in China, Foxconn and so on. have all begun to connect.

The R&D department is still located in California for the time being. But the global base expands. Already under the action of Shirley Sandberg, it began to build up rapidly.

"Boss, this is the new Matrix smartphone."

Shirley showed him a black boxy phone for inspection. Chen Tiandu looked at the small screen in his hand, the old-fashioned buttons, and he almost fainted. He didn't even want to turn it on and check, "Just this style, do you think anyone will like it?" ”

Shirley said: "But this style is already the best configuration at the moment, you look at the buttons." There is little vibration, low noise, almost no vibration, and it is all a mechanical matte keyboard. The degree of technology is the best in the industry, the touch screen is also responsive, and the resolution is high enough, even if the screen is a little smaller, it is enough to see clearly......"

"Alright. It's that I didn't make it clear in advance. ”

Chen Tiandu interrupted her and said, "What I want is a touch screen without a keyboard, at most one mechanical key." The rest is all operated via the touch screen. This boxy appearance is simply ugly, could it be that the people from Apple haven't started work yet? Or haven't moved away from computer design thinking yet? Give me the shape of the square corners to be rounded...... Forget it, I'll design a few of them myself. Go back and get in touch with me after you familiarize the lead designer with the work. ”

"Okay......" Shirley said helplessly, "but there is a problem that must be solved as soon as possible, and many of the technology patents we use belong to other companies." Once this phone is really popular. At that time, it will inevitably be limited by patents. ”

Chen Tiandu pinched his chin, "Do you have a solution?" ”

"Yes, boss. Northern Power Grid is in trouble, and they may be going to be sold. There is a huge patent library out there, which is exactly what we need. ”

Chen Tiandu nodded, knowing that this was another gold-swallowing monster, and said, "Provide me with a detailed information, and I'll think about it first." ”

After he went back, he ordered more than a dozen of the most classic mobile phone shapes, modified them, and sent them to the matrix mobile phone design department. After the arrogant cowmen saw it, they were as surprised as heavens.

"Oh my God, this is a work of art, and it can be called a mobile phone."

"A true work of art, a revolutionary creation of science and technology......"

Looking back at the existing prototype that has just been returned by the boss, there is obviously still a gap between it and Chen Tiandu's requirements, no wonder it was returned. They are still busy, and they already have a clear concept in their minds, "It turned out that they wanted to make such a mobile phone, no wonder the boss dared to shout "cause a sensation all over the world" and "eliminate the existing mobile phone model". ”

Before, it is estimated that no one would believe it, and it was all regarded as the boss bragging. Now it's a head full of worship.

Chen Tiandu didn't have time to pay attention to these, and asked Donnie to help analyze the situation of the Northern Power Grid to see how likely the acquisition was. I went to Silicon Valley to be a fortune boy again.

As if to verify that his article on Ace Wave OK is not bragging, he bought part of Apple's computer design department, and then bought a new video website company called YouTube.

One after another big acquisitions, where does the money come from?

Looking back again, he found that his Google shares had really been reduced, and he made such a happy decision, it seems that Google, which he founded single-handedly, did not leave much weight in his heart. This made the audience, who had been shouting and beating before, feel like their fists were hitting the air.

But he finally reduced his holdings, and he also lost the potential oppressive crisis from the U.S. government. The law, which had not yet been discussed, was terminated without a beginning or an end. It was supposedly an order from the White House.

George W. Bush: "Now that we have reduced our holdings, we can't let investors lose confidence in the United States." And so the matter ended in a hurry. Chen Tiandu speculated that the key was that the generous political donation of 10 million played a role. The cost of George W. Bush's year-end election was $38.65 million, and Chen Tiandu donated $10 million at once, raising this figure to as much as 40 million.

This 10 million dollars is a bit unjust, and this problem is solved, and the urgent need is finally solved. He is also open-minded, he spends it, and then earns it back. The next time his assets skyrocket, he will never be confined to this quagmire again. To be continued.
