As soon as he entered Apple, Lei Weidong felt one word - chaos, the current Apple company is similar to those auto repair departments in rural China in the 21st century, that is, the area is larger and there are more people

More than a dozen desks were placed at random, and there was waste paper thrown everywhere on the ground, and there were either antique computers that Lei Weidong couldn't name, or various equipment and maintenance tools, and there was no spare space at all.

Seven or eight staff members were busy at their desks, and even Lei Weidong and his party of six or seven people didn't look up a few times when they came in, as if one glance was a serious waste.

And Lei Weidong also found that each of these staff members had sloppy beards, messy hair, messy appearance, and the clothes on their bodies looked like they hadn't been washed for several days, and they were dirty.

Among the group of people, that is, the supernumerary staff who is responsible for cleaning, the cleaner's aunt has a more normal appearance, and the others are others.

Even Steve Jobs, who was accompanying Lei Weidong and his party, and Mack Macura, another bearded shareholder of Apple, were the same, and it is estimated that these two were washing up because they wanted to entertain Lei Weidong, an investor who came from afar, wearing a somewhat ill-fitting suit and tie.

However, both of them had red eyes, like rabbits, and they knew that they hadn't had a good rest for several days.

No wonder some people say that most of the technicians are otaku and single dogs.

Lei Weidong looked at it casually, and if the entire Apple company was included, including the supernumerary staff of the cleaner aunt, there were only a dozen staff members, and the number was pitiful.

It can't be compared with the Apple company of tens of thousands of people in the future, it seems that the chance of success this time is 100 percent, the key is how many shares of Apple he can get, Lei Weidong is not greedy, 800,000 US dollars can buy half an apple.

"Mr. Lei, please come in!" Jobs opened the door to an office and said.

"Thank you."

Lei Weidong nodded, walked in, this is a small conference room, can seat more than a dozen people, it is estimated that this is where Apple has a meeting

Lei Weidong and Jobs walked to the two empty chairs and sat down, and the people brought by the two sides also sat separately next to the two.

"Mr. Lei, I heard Mr. Li say that you want to invest in my company." Jobs paused and continued, "Can I ask why you want to invest in my company?" ”

"No problem, this must be asked." Lei Weidong nodded and replied: "And don't call me Mr. Lei, call me Harry Potter, my English name is Harry Potter. Ray"

Feng Haiyang hurriedly translated.

"Oh?" Jobs looked at Lei Weidong curiously. "Yes, Mr. Harry Potter:"

"As for the two reasons why I invested in your company, the first is that I am optimistic about the development of personal computers, although there are no real personal computers now, but in ten years personal computers will be popular throughout the United States."

"No, in another 10 years, personal computers will be available all over the world!" Jobs shook his body lightly and said firmly.

Lei Weidong nodded with a smile on his face, "It's universal popularity." But he secretly complained in his heart that even in another 20 years, computers would not be popular all over the world. Not to mention computers, even televisions will be rare in the mainland ten years later. In the previous life, computers only began to become widespread in the 21st century.

"So, whoever can get a ride on this ride can make money." Lei Weidong continued, and then took the coffee handed over by the cleaner cameo service staff, although nodding and saying, "Thank you." "But I still vomited in my heart, I didn't even have a front desk staff, and now Apple is really poor enough.

"And what about the second reason?" Mike Macura asked.

"The second ......" Lei Weidong took a sip of coffee: "The second reason is that I am optimistic about the future of Apple-2, I think it will be the first personal computer in human history." ”

As soon as this remark came out. Everyone in the conference room was stunned. This is my company's latest design, and it has not yet been finalized, how do you know, Jobs asked: "Do you have commercial spies in my company?" ”

"This little thing still needs an oh commercial espionage!" Lei Weidong said with a smile.

"Didn't your company launch Apple-1, there are so many computer companies in Silicon Valley, I want to invest in the most successful company.

I looked at a lot of company information, investigated a lot, and found that Apple's Apple-1 is now the best personal computer in the United States, although there are still such and such problems, but I believe you can solve them, and the Apple-2 that solves these problems will definitely be popular once it is launched, as for why I am sure that the new computer is called Apple-2! ”

Lei Weidong shrugged his shoulders and explained: "What can the upgraded product of Apple-1 be called if it is not called Apple-2?" Is it called Pentium 3! ”

This nonsense, Lei Weidong didn't practice for a day or two, and almost everyone couldn't find fault with it, and even Jobs could only stare dryly, and he was stunned for a long time before saying: "According to the naming habits of our American companies, it seems that the upgraded product of Apple-1 is not called Apple-2, what else can it be called!" ”

Lei Weidong is talking exaggerated here, but Wu Bo and the others who are sitting on Lei Weidong's side are full of doubts? Looking for so many companies? He only found one, did he find someone else, and Lei Weidong has been in Hong Kong, how do you know about Apple, and when did he come into contact with that thing called Apple-1?

"I've already told me my reasons, Mr. Jobs, can you tell me what you think?" Lei Weidong looked at Jobs and said.

Jobs pondered. He slowly asked, "I want to ask, how much does Mr. Harry Potter plan to invest?" Then I had to talk to Mike Macura and the others about what to do. ”

Lei Weidong did not speak. He raised his right hand into a fist again, and stretched out the fingers that symbolized eight.

"Eighty thousand dollars?"

Jobs looked at Lei Weidong and frowned, lowered his head and began to ponder. $80,000 is a lot, and the company has only received $92,000 from Mike Macula.

"No, it's $800,000." Lei Weidong hurriedly said, is 80,000 worth going all the way to the United States to go crazy?

It was only Lei Weidong who found out that as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him looked at him with a surprised expression, especially Mike Macura, whose eyes were green.

"800,000 dollars, really?" Mike Macura asked, surprised.

"Yes!" Lei Weidong nodded solemnly? These are surprising, how did Apple pull in millions or tens of millions of investments after that.

Lei Weidong didn't know that Apple had only received one investment from others since its establishment, that is, Mike Macura invested $92,000 to get a 30% stake.

Now the total assets of the entire company add up to only a few hundred thousand dollars, and they are all bank loans. And although the Apple-2 is much better than the Apple-1, it is still unknown whether it will succeed. Many people are still cautious about investing in this industry.

Lei Weidong's investment has multiplied several times at a time, and it is no wonder that they are not surprised.

"And Mr. Harry Potter, how much do you want to get a stake?" It was Jobs who calmed down first and continued to ask.

"Invest $800,000 and 50% equity. Of course, you can rest assured, I will not be involved in any affairs of the company, I only need equity and dividends. Lei Weidong opened his mouth and asked for a sky-high price.

Apple now owns 30 percent by Steve Jobs, Steve Watts and Marcoura, and 10 percent by engineer Rod Holt.

Although Lei Weidong proposed to want 40% of the shares, it is certain that he will not get 50% of the shares in the end. But isn't it just about doing business?

"We won't sell the company! Not to mention $800,000, it's $8 million, and Apple won't sell it! Hearing that Lei Weidong asked for fifty percent of the shares as soon as he opened his mouth, Jobs immediately stood up and objected, because once Lei Weidong was given so many shares, Apple would be Lei Weidong's.

"Then how many shares can you give me!" Lei Weidong asked rhetorically. Lei Weidong was not angry at Jobs's fierce reaction, after all, this was expected, how much Jobs's temper was, it had been discussed many times on the Internet in later generations, and if his temper was good, he would not have been kicked out of Apple by the board of directors later.

"Well, Mr. Harry Potter, we need to talk internally, wait a minute." Seeing that Lei Weidong did not insist on having to take fifty percent of the shares, Jobs's anger went down, after all, now Apple needs the 800,000 US dollars, and finally a financier can't let the other party run away.

"Oh, please." Lei Weidong nodded, and watched Jobs and the others leave the conference room at the same time.

"Bang."

Looking at Bush and the others who went out, Lei Weidong understood that the matter had been successful, and the difference was only a matter of how many shares there were.
