Chapter 577: Apple's Listing Plan

Xu Guanwu accidentally agreed to his wife to accompany her to eat Japanese sushi for a while, but after the two of them finished eating, they were admitted to the hospital because of diarrhea, and their faces changed for a while.

"Are we going to eat sushi or laxatives? Why is it so effective? Xu Guanwu said weakly while lying on the hospital bed.

"It's all my fault, what sushi is recommended, it's clearly an expired and shoddy product. These Japanese are just too much. Zhao Yazhi couldn't help complaining while lying on the hospital bed.

"Next time, invite me to eat sushi, and I won't go if you kill me." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but say, he had just gone to the toilet a few times, which made his legs weak.

"Oh no, I don't know how long it will take to treat, there will be a Golden Globe Award ceremony tomorrow." Zhao Yazhi suddenly said worriedly.

"Don't worry about the Golden Globe ceremony, now the most important thing is to cure the disease. I haven't been sick in years, but I didn't expect to make an exception this time. Xu Guanwu said.

"I bought a lot of beautiful clothes for the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards, and it would be a shame if I couldn't attend." Zhao Yazhi heard Xu Guanwu say this, and couldn't help pouting.

"It's okay to find a chance to wear clothes next time, if the treatment of this disease is delayed, it is likely to be fatal." Xu Guanwu said, "Okay, okay, let's stop chatting, save some effort." ”

Zhao Yazhi nodded, also lying on the hospital bed, wheezing weakly.

learned that Xu Guanwu was sick and hospitalized, and immediately there were Lei Shidong, Richard, Daryll, and David. Michael and others went to the hospital one after another to visit. When I learned that Xu Guanwu and his wife were likely to be unable to attend this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony due to injury. Richard and others expressed great regret.

Although the influence of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is limited to the United States, if it can win the award at this ceremony, it will stimulate the sales of local video tapes, and it will also increase the copyright fee of the film on TV stations. At the same time, you will miss out on many possible investment opportunities.

"Doctor, do we really need to be hospitalized this time?" Zhao Yazhi still asked without giving up.

"That's right, you have acute gastroenteritis caused by food poisoning this time, and we must make sure that you are safe before you can be discharged from the hospital, otherwise your life is likely to be in danger." The doctor on patrol replied, "But don't worry, we are very experienced in treating this disease, and we will be discharged in about a day or two." ”

"Ah, another day or two?! But the Golden Globes are going to be held tomorrow, and it seems that we really can't catch up. Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but hum.

"Forget it. Wife, if you miss it, you will miss it. Don't be too sad either. Anyway, there is an even more important Academy Awards. The Oscars bring together stars from all over the world, and the guest lineup is much more magnificent than the Golden Globe Awards. Xu Guanwu saw that Zhao Yazhi was lost for a while, and hurriedly persuaded with a smile.

"Okay." Zhao Yazhi nodded, "Alas, both of us are living in the hospital, and now Xiao Simo is under the watchful eye of the nanny." I don't know if she will take care of Xiao Simo wholeheartedly? ”

"Don't worry, our nannies are all selected after thousands of selections, and there are bodyguards with us, our little Simo will not have an accident." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"But when the child is not in front of me, I can't let go of my heart. Ah Wu, it's better to ask your aunt to bring the child over. Zhao Yazhi looked at Xu Guanwu and said pitifully.

"No, there are too many germs in the hospital, and my son is so small, it is very likely that he will be infected with the disease." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry too much, we can be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow at the latest, maybe even earlier, you don't have to think so much." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yazhi nodded, although she said she didn't want to, but looking at her look at the photo of her son in her wallet in a daze, she knew that she was actually still very worried about her son in her heart.

……

After a day and a half in the hospital, when I was discharged from the hospital, the Golden Globe Awards were already halfway through. failed to walk the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which made Zhao Yazhi feel very depressed. But after seeing his son, this depression disappeared again.

"Madam, the little master misses you very much, I didn't see you yesterday and kept crying, and I finally put him to sleep. I couldn't see you crying again when I woke up early today, and now my voice is a little hoarse. The nanny said apologetically.

"yes, oh, my baby, I feel sorry for my mother." Zhao Yazhi listened, and hurriedly hugged her son in her arms, and then glared at Xu Guanwu fiercely with her eyes, "It's all your fault, I don't want to say that there are germs in the hospital, and I don't let my son come to the hospital to see us." Now, if you cry so badly, what do I think you will do? ”

"Okay, okay, now that you've been discharged from the hospital, don't say those words. Let's see how my son is doing. Xu Guanwu hurriedly said.

Xiao Simo looked very happy when she saw her mother at this moment, and her two little arms couldn't stop shaking, as if she wanted to grab her mother and not let her go away.

Zhao Yazhi saw that her son was so intimate, and she couldn't help but be moved, and her heart was about to melt, "Son, my mother will never leave you half a step in the future." ”

Just when Zhao Yazhi was teasing her son, Xu Guanwu turned on the TV and dialed it to NBC TV to watch the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards.

Although he was not shortlisted for any of the Golden Globe Awards this year, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to this award ceremony. In fact, the annual awards ceremony is not only a grand ceremony for filmmakers and film companies, but also a grand ceremony for investors. From this year's award-winning films, you can find the fashion trends of the past two years, and the investment in filmmakers is also a guide.

For example, "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer", which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama this year, is an urban emotional movie that tells the relationship between father and son and the relationship between husband and wife. Instead of choosing the more visually striking and striking "Apocalypse Now," they chose "The Kramers," which reflects the ethics of middle-class families. It shows that the tastes of the Golden Globe judges are changing. And the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are all benchmark figures in the American film industry. To a certain extent, they also represent the direction of the development of American cinema. So if you want to invest in movies, these people's opinions can't help but learn from them.

After watching the live broadcast of this year's Golden Globe Awards, Xu Guanwu stood up with a smile, this year's Golden Globe Awards "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer" can be said to be a big victory, and the previously popular "Apocalypse Now" also won the Best Director Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award, although it did not kill as expected, but won the important Best Director Award. The strength of this film has also been proven.

After the Golden Globe ceremony, Xu called Richard and David's office and told their secretary to wait for the two of them to return from the ceremony, and told them to find a script like family warmth for him to refer to.

Through this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Xu Guanwu already feels that movies with this theme will sell well in the future. Maybe it will be more popular than films like "First Blood" and "The Shining". Because the brutal war in the real world is enough to make people feel heartbroken, there is no need for so many violent and terrifying movies to stimulate themselves. At this time, a bowl of chicken soup for the soul needs to be served, so that the heart can be nourished and rested.

……

After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, there is still half a month before the Academy Awards ceremony, Xu Guanwu naturally will not waste this time, he accompanied Zhao Yazhi and his son to start wandering from west to east.

The first stop is naturally to Apple Computer. The company is recently doing the most post-test work on the graphical operating system, if it passes. It will be the world's first graphical computer with commercial application value, which will greatly increase Apple's prestige and is expected to bring in orders for at least one million computers. At $5,000 per computer, that's a huge revenue of more than $5 billion.

This will not only make Apple a huge profit, but it will also make his path to IPO smoother. Apple Computer is now valued at $1 billion, and if it can successfully launch a graphical operating system, the company's market value will immediately reach $2 billion or more, and if it can be successfully listed, I am afraid that the market value will soar to more than $10 billion in the future. This is also the reason why Xu Guanwu dares to boast that he will become a billionaire.

When they came to Apple Computer, Xu Guanwu and his wife were warmly welcomed. General Manager Steve Brown. Steve Jobs and Director of Engineering Steve Jobs. Wozniek personally led all his colleagues to line up at the door, and even rolled out a long red carpet, which made Xu Guanwu a little flattered.

When he came to Apple Computer before, he had never enjoyed such treatment. Usually it was Steve Jobs and Woznik who led a group of programmers and engineers to work in the lab, so that Xu Guanwu had to deign to find them.

But the reason why he is so enthusiastic this time, Xu Guanwu can also guess one or two. However, because Apple Computer is about to go public, as the largest shareholder of Apple Computer, he naturally has the most say on the issue of listing. The composition of Apple Computer's shares is as follows: Xu Guanwu accounts for 40% of the total shares, Steve Jobs accounts for 30% of the total shares, and Woznek accounts for 20% of the total shares.

Apple Computer Company also accepted investment from other people before, but later after Xu Guanwu's capital injection, Jobs spent money to buy the shares back, and now there are three shareholders of Apple Computer Company, of which Xu Guanwu accounts for the largest shares. And Jobs and Wozniek together are a little more than Xu Guanwu. And the two of them have always been inseparable from Meng, and Meng is not out of focus, so it can also be guaranteed that Apple Computer is in the hands of the two of them.

Now Apple Computer is about to face the problem of going public to raise funds, so the shares need to be readjusted. Jobs and Woznek conceived a new plan, and after the listing, the company was divided into 10 million shares, of which 4.6 million shares were allocated to raise funds, the remaining 5 million shares were reserved for the three of them, and the remaining 400,000 shares were reserved for their colleagues who worked with them.

Of the five million shares, Xu Guanwu accounted for 2 million shares, and of the remaining 3 million shares, Jobs accounted for 1.8 million shares and Woznek accounted for 1.2 million shares. Xu Guanwu lost 490,000 shares by Jobs and Woznick to compensate him with 50 million US dollars, which is all the money they can come up with at present.

According to the future development trend of Apple Computer, the 490,000 shares are only sold for 50 million US dollars, which is too little, so Jobs and Woznek are also worried that Xu Guanwu will not agree to such conditions, so they naturally have to be cautious when receiving them.

However, after listening to their plan, Xu Guanwu readily agreed to their conditions, once Apple Computer went public, it would immediately attract Wall Street capital predators. Xu Guanwu thought to himself, as a foreigner, that he could not compete with those capital predators, so it was better to reduce his shares, and then avoid unnecessary attacks. (To be continued......)
