Chapter 260: Target Apple

The bell of the New Year rang, and before I knew it, it was 1984.

It's just that at the beginning of the new year, there is also a big event.

On 1 January 1984, Brunei declared full independence from British control and announced the composition of a new cabinet. A few days later, it officially joined the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Brunei is just a small country with a population of only a few hundred thousand, and the whole country is made up of 33 islands located in the South China Sea.

In 1979, a treaty was signed with the United Kingdom, which confirmed Brunei's independence in 1984 and was recognized by Malaysia and Indonesia.

Under this treaty, Britain relinquished its foreign and defence powers in Brunei on 1 January 1984 and Brunei declared full independence.

After independence, the Sudanese government vigorously pursued the policy of "Malayization, Islamization and monarchy", consolidated the rule of the royal family, focused on supporting the economy of the Malays and other indigenous peoples, and strictly upheld the teachings of Islam while carrying out modernization.

Among these people, the overseas Chinese in Brunei basically remain at about 50,000. Of these, about 20,000 have acquired Bruneian nationality, 10,500 are permanent residents and 15,000 remain temporary residents. Most of the overseas Chinese in Brunei are from Fujian and Guangdong provinces, of which about 8% are from Fujian Province, mainly from Kinmen and Kinmen; About 18% of people from Guangdong Province are mainly Hakka and Teochew. Hainan nationals account for about 2%.

There has never been a large-scale Chinese exclusion in Brunei's history, so the Chinese have been able to maintain the traditional way of life of their homeland and have the opportunity to pass on the Big 6 culture to future generations.

What I have to say here is that in history, the Brunei royal family took Huang Senping as the ancestor, and there is still the so-called 'Huang Zongbing Tomb' in Brunei, and the star Wu Zun of later generations is a Brunei, which can be said to have a lot to do with the big 6.

Among them, until 1993, the Brunei Dynasty was the longest surviving dynasty in Asia except for the royal family of the island country, and it was not until the restoration of the Cambodian dynasty in 1993 that the longest surviving Asian dynasty was replaced by the Cambodian dynasty with a history of more than 700 years, but until Zhao Chen was reborn. The Brunei monarchy shows no sign of ending.

The reason why Brunei became independent this time was related to its own situation, Brunei has a small territory, a small population, not rich resources, and poor governance, which is not of much value to Britain. Britain's overseas colonies were nothing more than to open up overseas markets, establish overseas colonial areas, increase the scope of control, and the slave trade. At present, the United Kingdom has controlled India and opened up the big 6 market, with these two big East Asian countries, why bother to eat a "small sesame seed".

As a result, when Brunei became independent, Britain did not stand in the way. Not long after, Brunei joined the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and became the sixth member state.

Brunei's influence is not big overall, but the significance is still there, mainly because the proportion of Chinese in Brunei is not small, after the independence of Shun lì. Britain did not have a bad reputation. The reason for this is mainly that the UK is currently in full swing to carry out trade with the Big 6, and on the other hand, it is different because of the Brunei issue, which has led to fluctuations in Sino-British negotiations.

Soon after Brunei's independence, Zhao Chen came to the United States, because he suddenly thought of something, which was related to Apple, which is currently entering the fast exhibition. Because soon after, Apple will launch the revolutionary Manettosh computer.

As everyone knows. One of the founders of Apple is Steve Jobs, and in addition to Steve Jobs, the founder is also Stephen? Wox and Wayne! It's just that compared to Jobs, the other two founders are undoubtedly much less famous.

Which of them, Stephen? Wolds designed a cassette interface for loading and storing programs that ran at 12oo bits per second. Despite its fairly simple design, the app1eI was still a masterpiece and required fewer parts than other consoles in its class, making Watts a master designer of the time. In the end, a total of 2oo units of app1eI were produced. Soon after, Woz had succeeded in designing an app1eII that was more advanced than the app1eI. Suffice it to say, Stephen? Wads' Apple in those days was more critical and more famous than Jobs.

As for the other founder, Luo? Wayne, as opposed to Stephen? Woz and Jobs were bland. But Luo? Wayne has been a friend and partner of Jobs from the beginning, and although he doesn't have much ability, he is already very lucky to work with Jobs. Unfortunately, when Steve Jobs wanted to expand Apple and borrow money from banks a few years ago, Wayne withdrew because of the psychological shadow of the failure of the risky investment. Thus losing an opportunity to become a billionaire.

Apple was founded on April 1, 1976 by Stephen? Woz, Stephen? Jobs and Wayne were founded together. Among them, Wayne designed Apple's first logo.

This may be the only thing Wayne remembers, but sadly the logo was soon replaced the following year, with the Apple logo (Rotten Apple←_←) still in use today!

There is also one thing about one of the founders of Apple, which also made the conditions for Jobs to dominate Apple. If it weren't for this thing. Apple's aura may have been shared by Jobs and Woz, rather than Jobs alone.

In 1981, Woz, who had just received his airplane license, was carrying his second wife, Candy, and planned to fly to San Diego to find Candy's uncle to help them design a wedding ring, but on the way, the plane stalled, and the wing lost its strength to climb, so the guide fell into a crash. Among them, Woz was fine after being taken to the hospital, but he showed amnesia after waking up, and it was not until five weeks later that he gradually regained his memory.

After recovering his memories, Woz decided to leave the Apple and Manettosh project for a while, prioritizing college completion. It's just that what he didn't expect was that he never returned to the manettosh project team!

In this matter, it is not known whether there is any filth in it. So, in addition to Jobs, the other two Apple founders left one after another, and the decision-making power of the entire Apple company was in the hands of Jobs, which finally achieved his brilliant life.

But even so, since Apple went public in 198o, Wayne may not have any shares in his hands, but Watts must have a lot of shares in his hands because he left for some reason in 1981.

Historically, after Apple was about to launch the epoch-making Manettosh computer, Apple's already fast-rising stock rose in a rocket-like manner, during which it became a large number of millionaires and successfully entered the world's top 500, which became the fastest record at that time.

Also because when Apple went public, they attracted more money than any company that went public after Ford's IPO in 1956, and its share price can be imagined.

Zhao Chen's idea is very simple, that is, to prepare to buy a large number of Apple shares while the manettosh computer is not yet listed, which can be regarded as a disguised investment, especially since Apple has an extremely bright future.

Zhao Chen's eyes were mainly focused on retail investors and Woz, thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit.

Since Apple has risen steadily since its IPO and has made many billionaires, many individual stocks are reluctant to sell their shares, even if they make a higher bid. Therefore, in this regard, Zhao Chen can only try to let the trader buy from retail investors at a price slightly higher than the market price.

And he himself used his connections to find out where Woz was.

As the founder of Apple, Wads, who holds a lot of Apple stock, can be said to be a veritable billionaire, just like Paul Allen is to Microsoft.

Since leaving Apple for some reason, Woz has used the pseudonym Loki? La Quinn? Clark applied to the University of Berkeley to return to school, then married Candy at the end of June 1981 and returned to the University of California to pursue degrees in electrical engineering and computer science. During this period, he decided to organize an avant-garde country music festival and invested $2oo to open a company Unuson. Valentine co-ordinates the organization.

Zhao Chen used various connections to finally come to the University of California to find Wox under a pseudonym.
