On November 15, the gossip that Harry Potter had bought Apple was suddenly exposed by the media.
This not only shocked the whole United States, but also the whole world was surprised and didn't know how to describe it.
What is Apple Computer?
It is a high-tech company in the United States. Founded on April 1, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ro Wayne (Ronwayne) and named AppleputerInc., it is the memory of an American generation, and it is an iconic high-tech company of great significance in the United States.
On December 12, 1980, Apple Computer went public, and in less than an hour, all 4.6 million shares were snapped up, closing at $29 per share.
At this closing price, Apple's top brass produced 4 billionaires and more than 40 millionaires.
They attracted more money than any initial public offering (IPO) since Ford went public in 1956, and created more millionaires than any historical company.
Within five years, Apple had entered the world's top 500, the fastest record at the time.
Lu Hao can be said to have spared no expense in order to acquire Apple, with a total market value of less than $1.7 billion, in the case that Lu Hao already secretly holds 26 percent of the shares.
In order to acquire more than 70 percent of the minimum shareholding requirements to be able to make a privatization offer, Lu Hao paid a price of $2 billion, a premium of 120 percent.
A small number of shareholders asked to keep a little stake but Lu Hao refused, and what Lu Hao wanted was to buy 100% of Apple.
Although the news has not yet been confirmed, the impatient national media has begun to go crazy with the propaganda, and the global media has also gone crazy, rushing to report on the acquisition, although the vast majority of the news is incorrect, but the media's favorite is this hazy answer.
Their whimsical reporting, neither Apple nor Harry Potter has come forward, they have neither admitted nor denied it, which has made the global media even more happy, and the acquisition of an iconic American company will definitely attract the attention of people all over the world.
On the evening of November 15, Apple's emergency suspension of trading confirmed the acquisition news even more, and poured oil on the hot global media.
Whether it is Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or Jobs and others have already admired Lu Hao at this time, it is extremely rare for such a long-lasting large-scale report on a thing in the world, under the tireless bombardment of the global media, Apple Computer has been engraved into the minds of countless people around the world, and its popularity has grown geometrically.
Apple Computer can be said to have received another multi-billion dollar global publicity for free, and its brand value has skyrocketed several times, and with the addition of Harry Potter, the favorite darling of the global media, its popularity has more than doubled.
On the 18th, Harry Potter issued an offer to the US Securities and Exchange Commission in his own name to privatize Apple Computer, and the stock was at a 100% premium.
The news of Harry Potter's personal acquisition of Apple Computer Company was confirmed, not only the global media went crazy, but countless Apple fans also went crazy, and all Apple products became sought-after goods, even the outdated products that had been backlogged for many years were snapped up.
In just ten days, Apple's backlog of up to $1.5 billion in product inventory was snapped up, and Apple's computer company, which had no funds to sustain itself, suddenly received a huge amount of money, and the company that Lu Hao spent $3 billion to acquire recouped half of its investment before it began to do anything.
In order to successfully acquire Apple Computer Company and get the approval of the U.S. government, Lu Hao did not acquire it in the name of Haohai, but made an offer as a U.S. citizen Harry Potter.
On the lawn in front of the White House on the 19th, Clinton held a press conference for Harry Potter's acquisition of Apple Potter, and President Clinton highly praised Harry Potter and praised Harry Potter as the pride of the American people, one of his best friends, and he believed that Apple Computer would rise again under the leadership of Harry Potter and become the most eye-catching high-tech company in the world.
On the 25th, the U.S. government officially approved Harry Potter's acquisition of Apple Computer, and Lu Hao held a press conference at the first time, vowing to lead Apple's re-emergence and invest $5 billion in the United States by the end of the year to solve at least 50,000 jobs.
For a time, the major media in the United States spoke highly of Harry Potter, and even the chairman of the Republican Party of the United States, who hated Harry Potter to the core, also stood up and highly praised Harry Potter.
Lu Hao also reciprocated by sending out to the outside world that he did not have any political leanings, and that the president of Haohai America was Republican Jones Bush, and he was also a personal friend of Jones Bush's cousin, Texas Governor George Walker Bush. His support for Clinton is purely a personal friendship, and there is no dissatisfaction with the Republican Party.
Lu Hao's Tai Chi boxing was beaten down, left and right, so that the Republican and Democratic parties were worried that one of them would win them over, and they both conveyed their welcome and protection to the outside world, so that Lu Hao's personal influence in the United States grew by leaps and bounds to the same level as the head of the old consortium.
There are rich people with strength, Apple's privatization has been completed at the fastest speed in history, and on the 30th, Apple Computer Company officially announced that it was renamed Apple Inc., and Steve Jobs, the former president of Apple, will retake the handsome seal of Apple and serve as president.
In the morning, Lu Hao accompanied Steve Jobs and Apple executives to hold a press conference at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
At the press conference, Lu Hao fully expressed his 100% trust in Jobs and handed over all his decision-making power to Jobs.
Jobs also expressed his gratitude to Lu Hao, and vowed to lead Apple to rise again, and comprehensively and thoroughly reorganize Apple, the new Apple will follow Haohai's management system and employee hierarchy, introduce Haohai's most advanced management model, and recruit outstanding scientific and technological talents from all over the world.
Apple executives also collectively expressed their welcome to Lu Hao's acquisition of Apple, and will resolutely obey the leadership of President Jobs in the future, and work together to make Apple take off again. (To be continued.) )
