Chapter 234: Jobs and China's Richest Man

The next day, Chen Lin met the IT tycoon Jobs at Pixar, who was tall and thin, wearing casual clothes and speaking kindly.

Qiao Gang Leader was very polite to Chen Lin, and set up a coffee table for the first time to entertain him with Chinese etiquette and customs-making tea.

Counting the coaxing of the Qiao gang leader, the current Chen Lin is not worse than him, Chen Lin's not bad does not refer to the achievements in entertainment, even if Jade Emperor Entertainment and Star Entertainment grow into a giant like Hollywood's eight King Kongs, it will not let Qiao gang leader look at it.

Chen Lin is now able to sit on an equal footing with Qiao's gang leader, mainly relying on Pentium Technology and its subsidiary Google. The most popular technology companies in the IT industry are these companies: Yahoo, Pentium-Google, Pentium Technology, Amazon, etc. And Chen Lin's company occupies the second. He has always asked the two companies to keep a low profile and not announce that he is a big boss, so his current reputation is not revealed, otherwise those financial media would have found him a long time ago.

The media doesn't know what to do, but IT bigwigs like Jobs do, which is why he values Chen Lin.

Although Chen Lin is not an IT professional, his insights on IT and the concept of Internet pan-entertainment have resonated with Qiao's gang leader. And the two also found out that they have a common hobby in their conversation, Joe is also interested in entertainment, and young people like to play games and watch movies at a glance, no wonder he was able to turn his mobile phone from a communication tool into an entertainment tool.

After Hu Tianhai's chat, Jobs finally got to the point: "Jason, I'm not satisfied that you said that you asked you today to discuss a deal." ”

"Oh, yes, I wonder what deal Steve wants to negotiate?" Being able to do business with Qiao Gang Leader Chen Lin was also very happy.

"Apple buys your Google for $10 billion." Jobs lightly threw out a $10 billion deal to buy Google.

"10 billion?"

"Yes, $10 billion."

Chen Lin thought he had heard it wrong, Qiao Gang Leader was really bold enough. Now Chen Lin admires this IT boss.

Google is not the second-largest company in the United States after Apple at $390 billion in 10 years. It's just an emerging internet technology company that was only established on September 7 last year, and even though it's in the limelight now, it's only a short start, and Wall Street values it at $500 million.

Steve Jobs was so sure of Google's development prospects that he was willing to pay a 20-fold premium. This vision really points 32 likes.

10 billion US dollars into RMB is 80 billion, how can it be enough to lose in this life, will Chen Lin accept this deal?

NO, Chen Lin has reached his current position, and it is difficult for money to impress him, and he knows the value of Google clearly.

Feng Shui rotates in the IT world, and in the 70-80s, IBM was the world. IN THE 90S, MICROSOFT AND INTEL WERE DOMINANT, AND THE 10 YEARS FROM 2000 TO 2010 BELONGED TO GOOGLE.

Before 2010, Google was rated as the most creative and powerful company in the IT industry, and after 2010, these titles were replaced by Apple.

Microsoft, the computer software overlord, has long regarded Google as the biggest thorn in its side, and tried to kill it without success. I don't know what to do in 2010, Google's top management went crazy, fluttering, really regarded himself as the boss, and despised a country's government. A company that is not good at business gets involved in politics, and finally loses the largest piece of the world's largest online market.

If Google hadn't died on its own. Can Apple still be beautiful? You must know that Google has also acquired Motorola, and it also has its own mobile phone business, and the Android system on everyone's mobile phone is developed by Google.

Now that Chen Lin is in control of Google, he will naturally not let it die on its own, first of all, one-third of Google's core executives are Chinese. He has hinted more than once that Mr. Ma prefers to reuse foreign executives and engineers who are friendly to China. If he is not friendly to China, he naturally wants him to worship him.

Not only that, but he also diluted the shares of the two former Google founders through various methods, and through multiple investments, the shares of the two were reduced from the original 30% to 20%.

Now Google is firmly in his hands. Will he sell it for a mere $10 billion?

"I'm sorry Steve, I can only say 'NO' for this deal," Chen Lin shook his head.

"Whatβ€”'NO'?" Now it's Steve's turn. Jobs was surprised: "Jason, didn't you hear clearly. I repeat, your company is valued at $500 million, and I'm raising it 20 times now, $10 billion acquisition. ”

"I heard you very clearly, and I'm really sorry that I have no plans to sell this company." Chen Lin shook his head again.

Jobs stared at Chen Lin like a monster for 3 minutes, and neither of them spoke during these 3 minutes, while Chen Lin drank tea casually.

Finally, Jobs let out a sigh and said, "Jason, I need to reevaluate you." ”

"Steve, what new do you think of me?"

"Well, I'm underestimating you."

"Hehe~~"

Chen Lin smiled, and before he could answer, Jobs changed his strategy: "Jason, since you don't want to sell, then it's okay for us to cooperate instead, right?" ”

"What kind of cooperation is it?"

"$4 billion, 40% shares."

"No, only 20% of the shares, $1 billion in cash, 1 billion Apple equivalent shares."

"500 million in cash, 1.5 billion in equity replacement."

β€œOK。 I basically agree with this. ”

The two negotiated a multi-billion business, and the cooperation with Apple can not only bring a cash flow, but also bring strong R&D skills, Chen Lin feels that this deal is very cost-effective; And Apple has also entered the online market on one leg by taking a stake in Google, which is also very cost-effective.

The cooperation between the two companies has reached a win-win situation, and the two big bosses are very satisfied.

The two sides quickly signed the contract, and at 2 p.m. the next day, Pentium Technology CEO Ma Teng and Apple Computer CEO Steve Brown. Steve Jobs held a joint press conference at Stanford University in Silicon Valley to announce that Apple Computer Inc. would pay $2 billion to acquire a 20% stake in Pentium-Google Technologies.

The news immediately caused a small earthquake in the American business community, and Wall Street bankers were amazed that Google had created a fortune of $10 billion in just 10 months, an average of $1 billion a month. Even in the United States, which is constantly playing out financial myths, this achievement is jaw-dropping.

This news is like a shot in the arm for the IT industry in the United States and the whole world, and all Internet companies cheered up, and everyone dreamed of making a fortune overnight.

Wall Street bankers have been eyeing other IT companies like they smell blood, and for a while, companies like Yahoo and Amazon have investment banks coming to their homes every day, and companies such as Yahoo have raised their original valuations several times without exception. But even that doesn't stop crazy investors.

A few years later, when some economists analyzed the Internet bubble crisis that swept the world in 2000, Apple's acquisition of Google at a premium of 20 times was regarded as an important flashpoint.

Soon the seismic wave spread from the United States to China, and the Wall Street Journal exclusively revealed the identity of Chen Lin, the big boss behind Pentium Technology and its subsidiary Pentium-Google.

Almost at the same time, the Hurun Wealth List announced the worth of Chen Lin and Yu Yu - 13.8 billion US dollars, 110.4 billion yuan.

Among them, Chen Lin was the richest man in Chinese mainland in 1999 with a value of 8 billion US dollars and 64 billion yuan, and Yu Yu was worth 5.8 billion US dollars and 46.4 billion yuan to become the second richest person in Chinese mainland in 1999.

In 1999, the third richest person in the mainland was the Rong Zhijian family, worth $1 billion.

The announcement of the Hurun Fortune List immediately caused shock in the domestic business, political, entertainment and ordinary people. Is there any mistake that this couple has so much money?

In the face of doubts, the president of the Hurun Wealth List claimed that it may have been underestimated, and then the Hurun List announced the specific wealth of Chen Lin and his wife.

The couple owns a 50% stake in Pentium-Google, worth $5 billion; It owns 70% of the equity of Pentium Technology, worth $7 billion; owns 70% equity of Jade Emperor Entertainment Group, worth US$700 million; owns 90% of Star Entertainment Group's equity worth US$800 million; It owns a 20% stake in Huangting Industrial Group with a value of US$300 million.

Hurun explained that 99% of their wealth is equity and fixed assets, and since none of the companies are currently listed, they can only rely on analysts' estimates, so they have underestimated.

Chen Lin and his wife have become the richest people in Chinese mainland, sitting on hundreds of billions of wealth. The names of the two couples are really known to everyone in China.

In recent years, the wind of money worship in China has slowly emerged, and you can not be interested in celebrity idols, but you have to admire those who create wealth myths.

Just when the domestic list was boiling like the Chinese New Year because of Hurun's list, Chen Lin, the party involved in the incident, left the United States by plane in disguise and arrived in Hong Kong. (To be continued......)
