Chapter 426: Xu Chenjun's Investment
Jobs excitedly shared his ideas with Xu Chenjun, during the period of treatment in China, he was not idle, holding the computer all day long to write down some of his ideas, and immediately applied these things after coming out, so there will be such a big leap and bounds in a short period of time.
Xu Chenjun himself is a master in this area, and there is no pressure to communicate with Jobs, but the two have their own opinions, and Jobs pays more attention to the operating system and the design of the appearance. Xu Chenjun, on the other hand, attaches more importance to hardware enhancements and the development of IOS characteristic applications.
After all, the company's resources are still limited, and it is necessary to create the highest benefits under limited resources, which is also the reason why the two are arguing.
"Hey, if it goes on like this, no matter how much you quarrel, you can't get a result, it's better to increase capital investment, just when I invest a little more, how much money do you need to continue to develop hardware?" Xu Chenjun really couldn't convince Jobs, and in the end he could only come up with this compromise solution.
"That's what you're waiting for, my big boss, haha." Jobs laughed, in fact, he didn't intend to convince Xu Chenjun from the beginning, everything Xu Chenjun said was actually not contrary to his point of view, and Xu Chenjun understood his point of view.
Both sides are talking about the important issues they are facing now!
It's just that Jobs can't find a reason to open his mouth to let Xu Chenjun make additional investment, after all, he is now the largest shareholder of the company, and if he invests again, it will depend on whether it is worth it, Jobs is really not sure so he will come up with this compromise solution.
In the face of Jobs' almost rogue behavior, Xu Chenjun could only say, "You old bastard! Dare to lie to me like this, be careful that I withdraw my investment! ”
"You won't be willing to give up, the Jason I know is a very bold young man."
Jobs smiled, and then his tone changed to a little serious and serious, "Believe me, I am very confident that this IPhone5 can completely occupy half of the world's mobile phone market!" When Jobs said this, he was full of confidence!
With Xu Chenjun's idea and enough funds to upgrade the hardware, Jobs thinks that if he doesn't succeed, it will be a real failure!
And Xu Chenjun himself didn't care too much, anyway, his money was still there, and he was still very relieved if he handed it over to Jobs. Anyway, as long as Jobs is still there, the investment in Apple will definitely not lose money, Xu Chenjun is very convinced of this!
This is absolute trust in Jobs' abilities! As long as he has him in Apple, he will not fall, on the contrary, if there is no Jobs, Xu Chenjun is not optimistic about other people in Apple at all, in later generations, after the death of Jobs, Apple's products have basically not improved much, it can be said that it is completely gnawing at the old book.
Later, even the so-called aristocratic route can only be taken, the system has not been improved much, the hardware has not been improved, and the light is entangled in the shape and some boring functions that are completely unnecessary, after the launch of the IPhone5S, there is a champagne gold color style called 'local tyrant gold'. It is extremely expensive in the market, but in fact there is no improvement, just a gorgeous shape, so the person who buys the champagne gold Iphone5S is jokingly called a local tyrant.
In fact, it's just a beautiful color, and the performance of this Iphone5S is exactly the same.
Of course, in this era, for smart phones, the performance and functions are almost fine, and ordinary people don't need to come out much, but with the continuous development of the information technology industry, more and more people only have an understanding of this aspect, and there is naturally a difference.
Until 2013, Apple's market sales were officially surpassed by Samsung! And in countries other than the United States, Apple's series of products, whether it is a notebook, a mobile phone or something else, is too low and too low-priced, and it doesn't give people a sense of value for money at all.
On the other hand, Google and Microsoft are thriving, so Xu Chenjun believes that Apple without Jobs is no longer Apple, because it has lost its core competitiveness.
But now it's different, Jobs no longer died young like in his previous life, and cancer has been cured, so Xu Chenjun is still quite optimistic about Apple!
"How much more? I can state first, Uncle Bill told me that Microsoft has already begun to prepare to buy Nokia, and I also have an investment there, and if you don't hurry up, it may be ...... You know this, I won't talk about it. Xu Chenjun's meaning has been clearly expressed, he can support Apple, but his support is based on the position of being profitable.
Jobs also knew that as a businessman, how could there be something that didn't need to be profitable?
And Xu Chenjun has not done any loss-making business so far, he spent a billion US dollars to buy a house and inject capital into S.M. Company, which seems to be a loss, but in fact, this year alone, S.M. Company has generated nearly 100 million US dollars for him! This is still the tax-deductible kind! Scaling up sometimes seems like a loss, but once it succeeds, it will only make more money!
Not long ago, the company that spent money to help Xiuying and her family also seemed to be losing money, but it was actually not. Because the big project he commissioned alone has saved nearly 200 million US dollars, and Xiuying's company will need to continue to work for itself in the future until the amount is fully repaid. And what can only be charged is labor costs and material prices, so that after a few years, just for real estate projects, Xu Chenjun's strange 'investment' can be doubled!
This not only helped Xiuying and her family get through the difficulties, but also made the company's reputation internationally with such a big project, and Xu Chenjun also had a considerable income, so why not? It's just like putting money in the bank and waiting for appreciation, but the speed of this appreciation is just a little faster.
"I did a rough calculation, it will take about 600 million US dollars, as long as I have this than the funds, I can do it with confidence, I believe that the hardware keeps up, and my new IOS system will definitely be perfectly controlled on Android!" Jobs said confidently.
"Forget it, 600 million is 600 million, just when I buy your shares again, send me the contract when the time comes, I will remit the money to you first, in terms of conditions, uncle, you can do it yourself, if you buy and sell at a loss, I will withdraw directly." Xu Chenjun jokingly said that in fact, he still trusts Jobs's character, and he doesn't disdain to take advantage of himself in these aspects.
"You're making it hard for me to do that, and of course I want you to make less money, so that the company's performance can improve a little more. Otherwise, how about you take 20% of the net profit of the iPhone product in the future? It's you who invested, anyway. ”
"Twenty percent? Okay, deal. Xu Chenjun believes that even if the Iphone5 developed by Jobs himself only sells half of the number of Iphone4 or IPhone4S, he has made a double profit, and the net profit of 20% is definitely not a small number! In order to satisfy Xu Chenjun, Jobs can be regarded as a bloody investment this time.
However, this kind of mutually beneficial thing, Jobs will not have anything unwilling, but Xu Chenjun promised to be so cheerful that he didn't even say a word of politeness, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"Okay, don't tell you little bastard, waste my phone bill, exploit so hard every time, as a big boss, I don't know any benefits, I know exploitation, exploitation! Be careful that I go to court to sue you for abusive employees! Jobs scolded angrily and then hung up the phone.
But where is there any interesting anger on his face, it is completely full of excitement, and with Xu Chenjun's funds, he can do what he wants. How much money to make, this is not what Jobs cares about, what he cares about is only his own research!
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chenjun sorted out a list of the recent business that Microsoft and Google are doing, anyway, it's not a secret, that is, some of the recent situation of Microsoft and Google, Jobs really didn't have time to pay attention to these some time ago, but these things did make Jobs feel some pressure!
