Chapter 273: Edward's Request
The surgery was postponed due to Jobs' personal reasons.
As soon as the news came out, the reporter keenly felt that it had something to do with the acquisition of Jinshan and Oracle.
Jinshan's current market value is 1.3oo billion US dollars, more than 1oooo billion yuan, the early metamorphosis market value is finally slowly returning to normal, and it is expected to fall to about 1oooo US dollars is the true embodiment of Jinshan's value.
Oracle's market capitalization is $2.5oo billion, relying on software stores and Amazon, Oracle's gorgeous transformation has made Microsoft the world's largest IT company.
There is nothing wrong with buying Apple, but the important thing is that the two companies will come up with cash, which is very attractive to any company. Exchanging shares also has the problem of zài's stock price fluctuating, while cash acquisitions are rare.
And cash has not been a problem for Xiling companies.
If you want to rank by market capitalization, Jinshan ranks in the top 1o of IT companies and the top 6o large enterprises in the world, which is definitely eye-catching, and it has also opened research centers in Europe and the United States early, and Qiu Zhongjun is not unfamiliar to American investors.
Ellison is naturally a star-level figure, and as soon as the acquisition invitation came out, the stock prices of Kingsoft and Oracle rose in response to the market, and Apple's stock price also increased slightly.
Jobs looked at the information that Crete brought over coldly, this is the specific acquisition plan of Jinshan and Oracle.
Passed over him, the executive who still wore the title of O but was on vacation, and sent to the board of directors.
"Cash, cash, can Jinshan get $1oo dollars in cash?" Jobs said with a sudden head raised.
Crete's heart suddenly felt and he wanted to take a step back, but his back was against the wall, so he had to grunt in his throat and said: "Jinshan is a very government-supported enterprise in China, and there is no problem with taking out $1oo million US dollars from bank financing......
"Hell!" Jobs slapped the bedside table, his heart was full of blood, and he almost vomited without suppressing it for a while, although it was only the second stage of liver cancer, but if he was not careful, it was very likely to turn evil immediately, liver cancer is a cancer that can easily spread, postponed these days, so that Apple's board of directors are a little impatient.
"The board means that it wants to think about ......"
"Consider ***!" Jobs stood up suddenly, but his head was dizzy, and he almost didn't stand still, relying on Crete to grab him and hold him up.
"You need to get some rest...... Crete said worriedly.
Although he doesn't have much affection for Jobs's paranoia, his ability is indispensable to Apple, not to mention that he is still Apple's banner figure and the soul of Apple, if he really falls, it is really not a good thing for Apple.
"Let go," Jobs said after taking two deep breaths, "those old guys on the board really plan to sell the company to Ellison and sell it to Jinshan?" "
Crete listened to several directors on the board of directors talking privately that if there was no way, they would have to sell it, and now that it is falling like this, the loss is even greater.
"I don't know ......"
"Humph!" Jobs looked at him coldly, and only after a long time did he say, "This is an empire I built single-handedly, and I can't let them squander it like this......"
"Steve, even if you want to sell, you need to go through the board of directors and shareholders' meeting, you are also a major shareholder, you have the right to object, besides, you have to go through the review of the Ministry of Commerce and the Securities Regulatory Commission, Jinshan has a Chinese background, it is not so easy." Crete was a rare expression of his opinion.
Jobs looked at him deeply: "Your words are good, the Republican Party does not have any good impression of Chinese-funded companies, and it does not have a good impression of Chinese capital." I'll give you a few calls, and you can make an appointment with them for me. "
"Yes."
After picking up the number written by Jobs, Crete hesitated for a moment and said, "Steve, you still have to have surgery sooner......
"I know, you don't have a mother-in-law."
……
The Republican Party represents the blue-collar class, and it can be said that their votes are provided by union organizations, and their roots are in the blue-collar class. Most of the blue-collar class is not interested in low-cost products from China, but hates them.
They don't want to have a good quality and cheap food made in China, and most of the things they produce are sold at ridiculously high prices, except for agricultural and sideline products, other things like leather shoes and clothes, and their wages simply can't afford to consume.
On the contrary, they are not grateful at all, and feel that China has taken away their jobs.
The incumbent President George W. Bush is a Republican, as can be seen from his repeated attempts to provoke dumping tariff wars.
The Democratic Party is not necessarily much better than the Republican Party, but relatively speaking, the Democratic Party, which represents the middle class, understands better the benefits of Made in China to Americans.
The Republican Party is a bit shameless, and as a slave owner, it has to make irresponsible remarks about slaves.
Jobs' surgery was scheduled at 9 a.m. on the second day, and fortunately there was no deterioration in 24 hours.
During this time, he met with several Republican senators and talked about Kingsoft and Oracle's acquisition of Apple.
The board's trust and patience with Jobs slowly collapsed, and the news from the Ministry of Commerce has not yet been obtained, so I am afraid that it will not be too good, and I can only do something with the energy of the government.
It's hard to say whether it can overpower Ellison's power in the Democratic Party, but the Republican Party is now the ruling party after all.
The energy in the Senate is also stronger than that of the Democratic Party, and Jobs's move is accurate.
However, most of the media in the United States, such as "FORUM" and "Time Magazine," are very resistant to Chinese capital, and their founders were core members of the well-known "Outside the People's Republic of China Aid Group" in the 50s and 60s.
There are neutral news that they will not hesitate to smear China.
Although there have been some changes in the past decade or so, they will still stick to their so-called position on some things, at least on the joint acquisition of Apple by Kingsoft and Oracle.
……
Yu Jun leaned on the sand and listened to Ellison's complaints, grinning, "Did you think of this day when you introduced me to Edward Kennedy?" "
"Hehe, Edward wants to meet you, he still feels good about you......"
"Don't tell me that Edward has that kind of hobby," Yu Jun pondered that the taste in his words was a little out of shape, if Edward was that kind of person, he couldn't afford to use it, "Besides, Edward has the ability to mobilize the Democratic Party to speak for us?" "
"You underestimate Edward's influence in the party, the Kennedy family is only slightly inferior to the Bush family, and the accidental death of those members of the Kennedy family alone makes the party value him very much......
Yu Jun thought to himself, do you value him or do you want to avoid him?
The Kennedy family is also known as the Cursed Family.
Speaking of superstition, this foreigner is much more particular, and a large number of taboos from various religions can be lined up into a long line if they are discharged.
But there's no denying that Ellison's words hit the nail on the head, and Edward Kennedy's influence in the Democratic Party was one of the best.
He is not only a senator representing Massachusetts, but he is also the deputy leader of the Democratic Party, and if he is to come forward, the Democratic Party can exert influence and create a lot of trouble for the Republican Party in Congress.
Although the Senate and House of Representatives are now controlled by Republicans, and 2oo2 is a midterm election, it is impossible for the Democrats to win the midterm elections.
Now, because of the 911 incident, the support of the Bush administration has risen to an unprecedented level, and the Republican Party's support in various states has also been rising.
But that doesn't mean Edward can't cause them trouble.
"Do I need to go to Massachusetts to meet with him?" Yu Jun thought about the silver-haired, shrewd old man like an old fox, and asked.
"If possible, it's best, if it's not possible, well, you can video talk to him." Ellison laughed.
"Hmm, can he accept such a novelty?" Yu Junqi said.
"Edward isn't the old guy you think he is." Ellison shrugged his shoulders and burst out laughing.
Three hours later, Yu Jun had a video conversation with Edward's guò QQ.
"Massachusetts has a high unemployment rate, and I think you can get a program that can employ 2ooo people, so that I can better convince the party to speak for you."
Edward didn't talk around the corner, he had been a senator for half his life, and he knew what kind of people to talk to without going around and around.
"2ooo people, for a long time?" Yu Jun pondered and said, "I will ask the people below to come up with a suitable plan, and I can agree to this request." "
Xiling's company has a lot of business, and it won't be too difficult to come up with a project of 2ooo people, but Yu Jun doesn't dare to say it too hard, and he can't tell Edward what kind of project it is now, he can't think of it for a while.
Edward nodded and said, "So be it." "
Smack, the video cuts off.
So that's it? Yu Jun thought to himself that this old man of the Kennedy family was very simple.
found Wei Jing, Yu Junhao, Luo Yuan, Luo Fei and other major companies, held the same video conference, and put forward Edward's request.
"It takes 2ooo people to employ people every year, only manufacturing and service industries, Fengyun Network does not have such conditions, there are many requirements for opening Internet cafes in the United States, and IT manufacturing needs to be considered from all aspects of cost, Yundian is not suitable for investment and construction in Massachusetts, I think only Thunder Online can do it." Wei Jing moved her gaze to Luo Yuan and said.
"Well, Thunder Online's YouTube is headquartered in San Jose in terms of talent, and it is not appropriate to move to Boston," Luo Yuan waved his hand before he could speak, "But I think I can consider building a theme park." "
Theme parks? Everyone was stunned.
"Yes, theme parks, with Chinese culture as the theme, the investment amount in all aspects of the following departments to make a plan, well, to meet the employment standard of 2ooo, the scale is not small, but the overall salary of the service industry is not high, in the United States, it doesn't cost too much money." Yu Jun smiled and said, "Put it under the film and television department, and let Lu Yao call me later." "
……
The first of the two changes
Renlong pays homage to everyone in the early years......
I wish everyone to soak horses without horses, engage in horses with horses, smash those who have no money, and smash people with money......
