Chapter 680: Apple goes public

On Christmas Eve, Xu Guanwu spent time with Deng Lijun, Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and a pair of his own children, watching concerts held by TV stations and watching live TV fireworks in Los Angeles Government Square.

A beautiful Christmas tree is poked in the living room, the tree is full of decorations, and under the tree are large and small gift boxes.

Xu Guanwu sat between Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia, and Deng Lijun sat next door, thinking about it, I felt that I had no regrets in this life. The money has been earned, the wife has been married, and the children have been born, which is really perfect.

"Wu, there's a Christmas party in Hollywood tonight, why don't you want to go?" Zhao Yazhi asked while watching TV.

"What's the matter, it's just a bunch of people idle, why don't you sit at home and watch TV quietly?" Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"But how can you show who you are if you don't go to these events?" Zhao Yazhi asked, "People say that wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night." You're like that now, you're famous, but you have to stay at home every day. You should actually come out and do something, so that everyone can see you, what a scene. ”

"High-profile work, low-key life, this is the king." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "No matter what others say, it's only serious to earn money in your hands." ”

"Old-fashioned!" When Zhao Yazhi heard him say this, she couldn't help but say with disgust.

On the side, Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun heard the conversation between the two, but they couldn't help laughing.

……

Christmas Eve passed quickly, and early the next morning, everyone was ready to open the gifts.

"Merry Christmas, Awu! This is my gift to you. Guess what? Zhao Yazhi smiled and handed a square gift box to Xu Guanwudao.

Xu Guanwu took it. I weighed the weight. It's not heavy. Shaking and making no sound, he couldn't help but smile, "It should be a dress, right?" ”

Zhao Yazhi shook her head, "No, open it and take a look." ”

Xu Guanwu opened the gift with a smile, but saw an antique notebook, which made his eyes light up.

"I bought it for you from Chinatown. I heard it's an antique. Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be very moved, Zhao Yazhi knew that he was practicing calligraphy, so she gave him this ancient calligraphy, which was really great.

"Husband, what kind of gift did you give me?" Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu smiled and took a small gift box. This gift box is much smaller than the gift box just now, but Zhao Yazhi did not underestimate it, and after taking it, she shook it carefully, and heard a small sound inside.

"Wow, it's jewelry, right?!" Zhao Yazhi smiled happily.

"Huh. How can you guess so accurately? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"You only know how to buy jewelry." Zhao Yazhi smiled and opened the gift box to see. But I saw a very beautiful diamond necklace in it, the crystal light was shining, gorgeous and charming, which really made Zhao Yazhi love it, "Wow, it's so beautiful." ”

"Wow, Ah Zhi, your diamond necklace is so beautiful, at least twenty or thirty thousand dollars." Deng Lijun said enviously, "Ah Wu, you are really willing to spend money." ”

Xu Guanwu smiled, "You also have a gift, give!" As he spoke, he also gave a small gift box to Deng Lijundao.

Deng Lijun took the gift box curiously, opened it, and saw that it was a small doll inlaid with various gemstones, which looked beautiful and exquisite.

"Wow, your gift is so valuable, I can't afford it." Deng Lijun couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Don't say that, it's important for friends to give gifts." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Deng Lijun smiled, "Then this is my gift, don't think it's shabby." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, took it and opened it, but it was a Parker gold pen.

"Oh?! It's beautiful. Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"I was in too much of a hurry, so I didn't choose well. I'm sorry, but I'll give you another gift. Deng Lijun saw that Xu Guanwu was not very excited, and couldn't help but say apologetically.

"No, no, this golden pen is very good, I like it very much." Xu Guanwu hurriedly persuaded.

"Ah Wu, guess what gift I gave you." Lin Qingxia said holding a box.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and then also handed Lin Qingxia a box.

The two shouted "one, two, three...... and then opened it together, the gift given by Lin Qingxia was a commemorative edition watch of Omega, and Xu Guanwu gave Lin Qingxia a diamond-inlaid bracelet, which was as beautiful and dazzling as the diamond necklace.

"Wow, that's beautiful." After Lin Qingxia put on the bracelet, her skin became fairer and fairer, and she couldn't help but say happily.

As for the gifts chosen for the two babies, Zhao Yazhi is two beautiful children's clothes, Lin Qingxia is two children's books, and Deng Lijun is two toys for children.

Xu Guanwu took out two small boxes, Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi took them, and couldn't help but sink their hands, "What is in here, why is it so heavy?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

"Open it and take a look, and you'll know." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

The two opened it suspiciously, and couldn't help but be stunned. Deng Lijun came over to take a look, but saw that there were two gold bricks placed inside.

"Wow, you don't know how to educate children, do you, teach them to worship money at such a young age?" Deng Lijun couldn't help but say.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Gold can maintain its value, even if it is more than ten years and when the child is older, gold will not be cheap." And this gold is not easy to spend, and how can they manage their finances. Of course, if they are older, I will also give them stocks so that they can also learn how to manage money and make money. ”

"Oh my God, it's bad luck for a kid to follow you." Deng Lijun said depressedly, "It's so small, it's stained with a copper smell." ”

"Someone will inherit my career in the future, and of course if they don't want to pursue another life, I won't stop them." Xu Guanwu explained.

"I don't think it's a bad thing for children to learn financial management from elementary school, on the contrary, if they don't understand anything, they may be bullied when they grow up." Lin Qingxia was supportive. As for Zhao Yazhi, she agreed so much that she couldn't agree anymore.

After dividing the gifts. Everyone happily took Xiao Sichen and Xiao Simo to Disneyland to play. Played all day. The two children didn't play much, and the three women went crazy.

……

After Christmas, it was New Year's Day, and on this day, Apple Computer Co. shares were officially listed on the NASDAQ, with a total of 4.6 million new shares and an issue price of $200 per share. Because Xu Guanwu owned 2 million shares of Apple Computer Inc., he made $400 million as soon as he went public. Counting the 490,000 shares sold before. Xu Guanwu made a net profit of $450 million.

After the stock of Apple Computer Company was listed, it won and grabbed, and the stock price rose rapidly, almost doubling in one day, which can be called a demon stock!

However, Xu Guanwu knows that even if the stock price soars to $500 a share, it is still worth investing. Because in the future 80s, Apple Computer will be in control, and the sales of personal computers produced by it will be at least two or three million units. It was the undisputed leader of personal computers at that time.

IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT APPLE COMPUTER WENT PUBLIC TO EARN A HUGE FORTUNE FOR XU GUANWU, GAMES LIKE MINESWEEPER AND MAGIC CUBE, AS WELL AS VISICALC CHALK GRAY SPREADSHEET SOFTWARE. Licensing fees such as mice also earned Xu Guanwu a huge fortune.

Xu Guanwu's business strategy is also the same as that of Bill. The strategy of "small profits but quick turnover" used by Gates looks like a game is only ten dollars. However, a large number of sales can also be exchanged for extremely high income. The same is true for chalk gray spreadsheet software, as well as the authorization of mice, etc.

According to the data given by angel investment fund manager Paul, for every 100,000 units sold in APPLEIII., Xu Guanwu can earn $30 million in revenue, and if he sells one million units, he will have a billion dollars in revenue. The more you sell, the more influential you are, and the more money you make.

IN ADDITION, MYWORD DEVELOPED BY MICROSOFT IS EQUIPPED IN THE MACOS SYSTEM, AND THE APPLICATION OF THIS SOFTWARE IS ALSO QUITE CONVENIENT, WITH THE FUNCTION OF WYSIWYG, THAT IS, THE FORMAT OF THE DOCUMENT DISPLAYED ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN, AND SO ON AFTER IT IS PRINTED, IT IS DISPLAYED AS IT IS, WHICH IS CONVENIENT FOR USERS TO USE THIS SOFTWARE TO PRINT DOCUMENTS.

And this office software is also licensed to Apple, and for every Apple computer sold, Microsoft can earn fifty dollars from it, and Xu Guanwu, as a major shareholder of Microsoft, can naturally make a profit.

In short, Apple's successful release of the latest computer and operating system, as well as its successful listing on the NASDAQ, have brought Xu Guanwu huge profits.

However, Xu Guanwu was pleased not to have an extra amount of money in his account, but to see that his impact on the world was gradually increasing. In the past, it was only Hong Kong that was greatly influenced by itself, then Hollywood in the United States, and now Xu Guanwu is influencing the world by influencing Silicon Valley.

Many of the startups in Silicon Valley are now receiving funding from the Stanley Angel Fund, either by giving up some of their shares, by selling their technology and inventions, or by merging them directly into their labs. Now every day there are new achievements in the laboratories under the angel investment fund, and more than 3,000 patents have been applied for alone, even in Silicon Valley, a place full of patented inventions, there are more than 3,000 patents in just two years of establishment, which is really amazing.

And under the guidance of Xu Guanwu, the patents registered by angel investment funds are often very important patents, such as mice, such as databases, such as video compression, such as music compression, such as Ethernet...... These are all important parts related to the future development of personal computers, and now Xu Guanwu has landed in advance, and planted the flag to delineate the sphere of influence. In the future, if other companies want to develop this area, they must be authorized by him. Otherwise, he can sue them with the big stick of patent rights.

In the future, science and technology will become more and more developed, and patents will be paid more and more attention, Xu Guanwu remembers reading a report before, saying that because several major foreign manufacturers monopolize DVD patents, they will be charged high patent fees to domestic DVD manufacturers, making them unable to afford it at all.

Companies like Apple, Samsung, Nokia and other companies fight lawsuits every day for some patents, so as to block their competitors' products and prevent their products from landing in the United States. The frequent occurrence of patent litigation cases like this also indirectly proves the importance of patents. Xu Guanwu has now registered so many patents, and in the future, he can not only rely on these patents to make money, but also rely on it to fight opponents, which is really the best choice for home travel, killing people and goods.

Apple Computer then held its first board meeting, and the 4.6 million shares were snapped up by some large conglomerates, who shared a total of 40% of the shares, which means that although they cannot control Apple Computer, the combined power should not be underestimated.

Xu Guanwu appointed Paul as his representative, and the only request he gave him was to support Jobs and Woznick, and ignore the Wall Street investors. Xu Guanwu has always been not very interested in the Wall Street gang, because he knows that these people are jealous and greedy, and they are called the wolves of Wall Street.

The subprime mortgage crisis in the new century was caused by the wolves of Wall Street, and Xu Guanwu, who was killed back then, almost lost his job because of it, so he has no good feelings for those people now. (To be continued......)
