Chapter 449: See Jobs

The investment matter is tentatively determined.

"I want to make sure when we're going to get our first dividend," says Stephen, "I'm sorry I'm so blunt, but that's not what investing is all about?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded, "It's okay, it's as it should be."

However, when will the profits be shared, Zhang Bin is also a little difficult.

If all the money is invested by the end of the year, there will be no money to distribute to everyone.

"In this way, the funds so far will be calculated according to the principal, and the profits of the next month will be distributed to everyone at the end of the month according to the proportion of capital contribution," Zhang Bin said.

"How many are there?" Johnson asked.

"It will not be less than 300 million US dollars," Zhang Bin said conservatively.

Stephen and Johnson both calculated in their hearts, 300 million US dollars, according to the proportion, they will probably be able to share more than 20 million US dollars, which is not less, at least it is pure profit, although Stephen can only get 15 million, but he is also satisfied.

Ivor thought more, they could not only get the profit that Zhang Bin promised before, but also share more than 70 million US dollars, isn't this a considerable income?

"And if everything goes well, by the end of the year, we'll be able to share the dividends that these shares bring us," Mr. Zhang said.

Then everyone signed a resolution to become a board of directors.

"Have you decided? Once this resolution is signed, everything will have to be done in accordance with the rules in the future," Zhang Bin confirmed.

"Of course".

The establishment of a board of directors can effectively constrain Zhang Bin's power, and everyone is certainly happy to do so.

Especially after making so much money this time, and seeing Zhang Bin's such a large investment, they have to be careful.

The resolution stipulates that Zhang Bin is the chairman of the board of directors and is responsible for the overall investment direction of the company, and has the right of veto, but this power is reserved for now, because Zhang Bin must commit to bringing them more than 30% of the profit within a year.

According to the initial investment ratio, Zhang Bin contributed a total of 1.7 billion US dollars, which should have owned 42.5% of the shares, but because Zhang Bin was the initiator and assumed the pressure of investment, in the end, under Zhang Bin's strong request, the shares were increased to 46.5%, with an extra 4% and 1% for each family.

In that case, Goldman Sachs holds 26.5 percent, Paulson 16.5 percent, Bank of Montreal 6.5 percent, and Bombardier 4 percent.

According to the agreement, if someone continues to invest in shares in the future, it must be agreed by more than 70% of the share investors to succeed, and the proportion of shares is converted according to the existing 70%, which is the first batch, and the conversion will be more serious in the future.

That is to say, if you invest one billion dollars, you should account for 20% of the shares, but in the end it can only be counted as 700 million US dollars, accounting for 14% of the shares, which is a benefit to the initial investors, and the extra 300 million US dollars will naturally be equally distributed to the initial investors.

In addition to this, there are many subdivisions.

Because everyone was very interested, and they all talked about it, we discussed this matter together.

Basically, everyone came with a lawyer, because the amount of money involved was large and there were many projects, so they had to be cautious.

As a sign of respect, Zhang Bin called O'Neill over.

As the de facto operator of the global investment company, the owner decided to reward O'Neill with a 0.5% benefit, but it would be settled at the end of the year.

Zhang Bin originally said 1%, but everyone objected, so he had no choice but to make a discount.

I talked about this until three o'clock in the middle of the night.

In order to prevent Zhang Bin from having any needs, Ai Boer also specially arranged a supervisor and two waiters to serve at any time.

Their presence played a role, and at one o'clock, Zhang Bin and they paused for a supper.

"When are we going to have a press conference?" Johnson asked.

"Ivor's going to arrange, today it's the fifth, no, the sixth, I still need to get in touch with Jobs and FedEx first, and strive to achieve the greatest effect," Zhang Bin said.

When he returned to the room, Zhang Bin's mind was abnormally clear, and there was no way, who asked everyone to discuss things related to numbers.

"You go back and take a closer look at these terms, I will go to see Jobs tomorrow, you follow me for a trip", Zhang Bin instructed Mao Shiyang.

"Okay, Chairman".

Mao Shiyang felt as if he had suddenly been promoted to the ranks of the world's top lawyers, because in his opinion, he was in contact with large international companies and big capitalists at this time.

Isn't it a right to meet Jobs tomorrow only for top lawyers?

The next morning, Zhang Bin had breakfast and began to prepare for the meeting with Jobs.

As a giant of Apple at this time, Jobs has an indelible role.

His life is also bumpy enough and brilliant enough.

Although this splendor was more after his death.

It's like saying that when a person is alive, people are jealous of his existence, and when a person dies, people feel that he has contributed.

Apple is headquartered in Cupertino, California, but at this time Jobs was meeting some old financial friends in New York, hoping for more support.

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mao arrived at New York International Airport at 10 a.m. and called Mr. Jobs' assistant.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, Jobs found a Chinese restaurant in New York's Chinatown and invited Zhang Bin to lunch.

Looking at this man with a stubble on his face, it is hard to imagine that he has only three years to live.

No matter what the outside world says about him, at least Zhang Bin feels that his charm is not limited to shopping malls.

"Hello Zhang, Bill has already told me that you will come to me, I'm sorry I was supposed to go to Washington in person", Jobs said with a smile, pulling Zhang Bin to sit down.

"Look at what to eat, I don't come to Chinatown very often, maybe you should be more familiar," Mr. Jobs said, handing over the menu.

To be honest, although Zhang Bin has been abroad so many times, it is also the first time to come to Chinatown.

Many of the dishes on the menu are different from what he knows, or the type of combination of Chinese and Western, especially this kind of big restaurant, in order to meet the taste of some Westerners, will make some changes, maybe those small restaurants can better retain the taste of Chinese food.

But what you eat today is secondary, and it's important to talk about business.

"I personally respect you very much, you have brought Apple to this day, I think it is a miracle, I am willing to toast you for this, to express the sincerity of my heart", Zhang Bin took a glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Jobs hesitated and drank half a glass, seemingly reluctant to drink.

"I know you're usually very busy, and thank you for taking some time to come out to see me, so I'll just say what I mean," Zhang said.

"No, Gates told me that you spent more than a billion dollars from him to buy 10 million shares of our company, and you want to buy more, if you thank me, because at this time you are still willing to spend money to invest in our company, I think it is my friend", Jobs put his right hand on his chest, and said very sincerely.

"I was supposed to bring Gates along, but you know, he's always busy, so maybe you should go to Washington next time," Zhang said with a smile.

"Of course, I'll thank him personally, and we've been without seeing each other for a long time."
