Chapter 891: The First Deal, Success!
Apple would indeed become the largest company in U.S. history by market capitalization, but that was in 2012.
In the past two years, Apple's stock price has been hit by the subprime mortgage crisis and financial turmoil, and the stock price has risen and fallen, and the lowest time is much lower than the current $190.
If I have money, it's not good to buy at seventy or eighty per share, so do I have to buy your high-priced stocks?
Knowing the future trend of Apple's stock price, you still have to buy it at a high price, that's what a fool does!
You can buy Apple shares with a share price of more than $700 per share in the future at the lowest price, and enjoy the rich returns brought by Apple, which is exciting, but Xiao Qi doesn't dare to say it to Qiao Gang Leader, otherwise he will definitely be scolded as a madman, and he can only hold back his own fun.
"Ahem, I still like a little cash." Xiao Qi cheekily defended, and then asked, "Stephen, weishenme, are you willing to buy some shares of Apple?" ”
AT THE TIME OF THE DEATH OF JOE, HE ONLY HAD 5.5 MILLION SHARES OF APPLE, WHICH WAS LESS THAN 0.6% OF APPLE'S TOTAL SHARES, AND MOST OF THEM WERE EQUITY INCENTIVES BEFORE 2008.
With his contribution to Apple, he definitely deserves more shares than those executives who so-called get billions of equity incentives.
Not to mention too much, just with Joe's gang to bring Apple to the highest peak in the United States, 1% a year is absolutely deserved!
Strange to say, not only did Joe not force the board of directors to give him shares, he never bought Apple shares himself, and the most property he owned was the 7.7% stake in Disney when he sold Pixar to Disney last year.
Executives of listed companies want to buy shares of the company. There are a lot of strict restrictions, but Jobs definitely had a legitimate way to buy it.
With his love for Apple, he should buy more stocks to increase his connection with Apple!
"After I was kicked out of Apple, I sold almost all of my Apple stock in one go, leaving only one share to use to receive Apple's annual report." Qiao helped the leader drink bitter Chinese herbal tea. Said slowly: "From that time on, the only thing left in my mind was to come back, come back and create a great cause that no one else can do, and show those who kicked me out of the company!" This has become the biggest goal of my life! As for things like shares and money, I don't care. ”
After a pause, he blinked his eyes and showed a smug look: "If I hadn't volunteered to receive only $1 a year a year, those board members wouldn't have agreed to me coming back so quickly!" Now I'm back and I've done so much. And it will continue to move towards greater brilliance, and completely step on your DreamPad and other products! Money doesn't matter at all! ”
Through the successful operation of Pixar, Joe Gang Leader has become the largest individual shareholder of Disney, and with this alone, he will be indispensable for ten lifetimes of wealth and glory.
Judging from the fact that he still received a salary of $1 when Apple was so brilliant in his later life, this stubborn middle-aged man is not fake at all, but really indifferent to money.
"I'm waiting for your challenge!" Xiao Qi also laughed. "But if you don't have a haode body, I'm afraid you'll have to take a back seat in a few years, right?"
"Don't provoke me here." Gang Leader Qiao said proudly: "I also have to thank the two doctors you brought. They told me that although I could not be completely cured, as long as I followed their treatment and recuperation, I would be able to work healthily for at least ten years, and at least another twenty years! Ten years of work is enough time for me to beat everyone. Including you! ”
"We'll see." XIAO QI WAS VERY HAPPY IN HIS HEART, AND HE DIDN'T ADMIT DEFEAT IN HIS MOUTH, "BY THE WAY, I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOBILE PHONE NEXT, DON'T CRY ON YOUR IPHONE THEN!" ”
Joe Gang Leader shrugged. I don't care about Xiao Qi's provocation at all.
"5% of the shares, $10 billion, I can agree. But you're going to give me a second round of pre-emption. Qiao Gang Leader tapped his fingers on the table and said in a slow tone: "In addition, Samsung can't buy more than me." ”
Qiao Gang Leader is a smart person, and after a little thought, he can think that Xiao Qi will also find Samsung, because both companies are his partners, and there is no reason to favor one over the other.
And because of the two at the same time, it is good to check and balance each other, which is the most beneficial to the fairy company.
And he also understands that Weishenme Xiao Qi only sells 5% to him, because the effectiveness of the app store is not used to the extreme at all.
THE IPHONE JUST JOINED, SAMSUNG AND FAIRY PHONES WERE NOT ADDED, AND THEN SAMSUNG AND APPLE'S TABLETS WERE NOT ADDED......
So many money-making terminals have not yet appeared, and if you sell more shares at this time, isn't it sending money to Samsung and Apple?
"My partners in the DreamPad app store will always be just the two of you." Xiao Qi patted his chest and said, "I can also guarantee you that in the next five years, Apple will get at least 15% of the shares of the DreamPad app store, and we will all work together to make the app store better!" ”
"That's pretty much it!"
Gang Master Qiao nodded with satisfaction.
Rather than spending a lot of manpower and material resources to develop an app store that only belongs to Apple, it is better to make good use of Xiao Qi, which is now a very mature and stable app store, and Apple will become a shareholder in it, which will ensure Apple's interests.
After all, the real interest of the Joe gang leader is still in the continuous development of jaw-dropping smart products - in the previous life, there were several times when Apple's senior management suggested that he make an app store, didn't they all be rejected by the Qiao gang leader? Zuihou was still very reluctant to start the project.
"But I have one more request." Joe's gang leader has always been tough, rarely saying "request", "Now that Apple and Samsung have joined in, then we can't call it the DreamPad app store anymore, you have to take a new name, otherwise our product won't become a vassal of DreamPad?" ”
"This ......" Xiao Qi looked embarrassed, "you don't have to ask for so much, the benefits have already been taken ...... you"
"you!" Where will Qiao be fooled, "If you don't change it, Apple's foundry will be opened in your hometown, and it will definitely be no fun!" ”
"You dare!" Xiao Qi took the case, "Stephen, you can't talk and don't count, isn't this a prerequisite for you to buy shares in the app store?" Cook has already agreed! ”
"He didn't promise me, so it's invalid." Qiao beckoned the waiter to come over and mixed some hot water with himself, "Isn't it okay for you kid, do you still want any benefits?" ”
"Stephen, you can say this, we are friends, how can I ask for benefits?" Xiao Qi smiled shyly and said, "I just have a request, that is, if you have the opportunity in the future, can you please go to China for an inspection visit?" ”
"To Huaguo?" Gang Leader Qiao frowned, "What am I going to do in your Huaguo?" ”
"Just walk around and see. and don't have to do anything. Xiao Qi hurriedly explained, "It's just that you know, my father is an official, and if he can invite a big man like you to invest and investigate at some time, it will be of great help to his career." ”
"Hmm...... You tell me about it in advance, and I'll consider taking a look. Gang Leader Qiao said impatiently, "Is there anything else?" ”
With Qiao's character as a gang leader, if he doesn't agree, then he will definitely refuse directly.
Now when it comes to consideration, it's basically a yes.
"Nope." Xiao Qi patted his chest and said with a smile: "Good friend! Lecture on righteousness! Isn't it just a name change, let's remove DreamPad and call it an app store, right? ”
Seeing that Xiao Qi agreed so readily, Gang Leader Qiao immediately knew that this kid had been premeditated, and the matter of changing his name had also been considered.
But he didn't have the heart to pursue it, as long as he could achieve his goal, why worry about so much about the rest of the things? (To be continued......)
