Chapter 75, Jobs's Requirements

Silver balls flew on the tennis court, Jobs and Lei Weidong and others were sweating like rain, and a few people who changed into sportswear seemed to have really found sports genes, and even Lei Weidong, who was an imbecile in sports in his previous life, became familiar with the warm-up several times, and joined the "confrontation game" with great interest.

Around the tennis court, some young girls were training, but the atmosphere was obviously relaxed today, and a few girls were huddled around, watching Lei Weidong fight against a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Having money can make grinding ghosts, looking at the few teenage Chinese girls in front of him wearing cool suits, looking like they are being picked by others, Lei Weidong has to sigh, it is really almighty to be rich in a capitalist country, and he found a few Chinese beautiful girls to spar so quickly, if it weren't for his too young age, the divine beast was really powerful, and the purple beauty had been supervising by his side as Zhong Chuhong's informant, Lei Weidong really wanted to have a good time.

"Steve, Watts, you didn't invite me to barbecue because you wanted to talk to me about the future of Apple Computer." In the lounge, waving his hand to send the girl next to him out, Lei Weidong said with a slight smile.

Jobs and Wads looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little funny and funny. They have already understood that Lei Weidong has never learned a computer at all, and he has not even written a string of code. And computer knowledge can be said to be very poor, just a layman, but the two of them are now talking about the future development of Apple with this layman, which is really funny.

"Yes, Harry, I'd like to talk to you about Apple's future!" Jobs was not hypocritical, and said straight to the point: "To be honest, Harry regrets your investment now!" I'd like to buy back your shares if I can! ”

"It's useless to regret it! We should look ahead now! As for selling shares, don't even think about it now! "For Jobs's regret, Lei Weidong had already expected, but Apple shares Lei Weidong will sell if he is stupid, although Apple's market value has increased more than ten times in a few months, and he has invested 800,000 and earned 10 million.

Lei Weidong didn't want to be like Li Ergongzi, because the income was good, he directly sold Penguin's shares to a South African company, although he made several times the income at that time, but it was too much worse than the thousands of times the income more than ten years later.

In 18 years, which South African company only sold a part of the penguin's shares and made a profit of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, compared with the investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars more than ten years ago, Li Ergongzi also lost the opportunity to counterattack his father and become the richest man in China.

"Harry, you may not know, now Apple is ready to accept investment from Wall Street, so we need your support!" Regarding Lei Weidong's disagreement to sell Apple shares, Jobs had expected that now Apple is so popular that everyone can't find a way to come in, and only fools will sell their shares.

However, even if Apple is not short of money, but for the sake of future development, even if Jobs is unwilling, he must introduce Wall Street funds to dilute his shares, and at this time Lei Weidong's shares that will not be diluted are particularly important, in order to grasp the company's right to speak, Jobs must get Lei Weidong's support on the board of directors.

"Why, accepting investment from Wall Street, Apple is not short of money now!" Lei Weidong asked curiously, it is normal for a company to accept foreign capital investment for better development, but it is all because of lack of funds, and now Apple is not short of money, why does Jobs still agree to Wall Street's shares, you must know what the habits of Wall Street funds are, Lei Weidong still knows something.

Wall Street's money is all about eating people and not spitting out bones.

"No way! It's not a question of money or not, it's a question of acceptance or not! Jobs smiled wryly and explained to Lei Weidong the ins and outs of the matter.

If Apple accepts this investment, it means that Apple accepts the goodwill of Wall Street tycoons, and will be regarded as their own by Wall Street tycoons, and will continue to invest in Apple in the future, and even run Apple on the market.

And Apple's future development will also be supported by these tycoons, in some policies, as well as in large-scale procurement projects.

If it does not accept investment, then Apple's future development will inevitably be suppressed by Wall Street, although Apple is now promising, is the No. 1 technology company in the United States, but compared with Wall Street is too far behind, they only need to stretch out a finger to squash Apple.

"What does that require me to do!" After listening to Jobs's explanation, Lei Weidong was also a little speechless, this may be the sadness of entrepreneurs in capitalist countries, in this society where capital is king, entrepreneurs are so helpless.

"We need your support on the board!" Jobs said: "Harry, you have almost 25% of the shares, plus my shares and Woz's shares, even if Apple goes public, we will own more than 50% of the shares, so Apple is still in my hands!" ”

"Yes, I can support you on the board! Still, Steve, some of my requests you can't refuse! For Jobs's request, Lei Weidong nodded in agreement, after all, what is it like to have Jobs Apples, and what is it like to have Jobs Apples, Lei Weidong is clear, of course, Lei Weidong will not be hypocritical, and the request should still be made.

"Of course, friends should help each other!" With Lei Weidong's support, Jobs was very happy. "I've already contacted Marvel's boss about what you want to do with Marvel Comics, and you can just go to that Stan Lee when you get to New York!"

If you have a relationship, you must use it, Lei Weidong, who was born as a salesman, never thought of going directly to Stan Lee to talk about "Transformers", and the success rate of having a relationship to introduce is much higher than that of a stunned young man, Lei Weidong has seen a lot of things like this in his previous life, and many orders are about to be negotiated, and in the end I don't know where to call, and the customer has changed from hexagram.

Although the United States is not a hinterland, unspoken rules are everywhere and do not depend on human will.
