Teresa Roy's job is a capitalist, and even if he likes to do charity, he needs to earn money before he can do charity.

Therefore, after investing in InstagramArm, he arranged for someone to operate it, and the purpose of the operation was naturally to sell InstagramArm as soon as possible.

The investment of 47 million US dollars is very high, and the sooner it can be sold, the more costs will be saved, and the more money it will naturally make.

"Wen Ming is a genius, but he is still too young for the operation of capital."

In New York, Teresa Roy's office was questioned by Sith, the head of Apple's legal department, and Teresa Roy's subordinates reported the situation to him.

"It's true that Facebook doesn't have the money to buy InstagramArm, but that doesn't mean they don't need InstagramArm, as long as they need it, then we have a way to do it."

The head of Teresa Roy's investment company asked curiously, "Why help him?" If we rely on this 10% stake, we forcibly let Instagram be sold in a few years. Well, his Apple company doesn't have the money to invest in the 'dinosaur' resurrection project. ”

The person in charge knew about the treaty related to the resurrection project of the 'dinosaur', because he was the one who presided over the signing of the contract. His potential meaning is already obvious, that is, to break Wen Ming's capital chain, and then swallow all the funds that Wen Ming invested in the 'Dinosaur' resurrection project.

Later, they can sell the 10% stake in Instagram when it is most valuable to maximize the profits. For the capitalists, this method is not unusual, nor is it cruel, because the world of capital itself is a very cruel world.

"If he was just an ordinary entrepreneur, I might choose to use this method."

Teresa Roy looked out into the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of her office, which showed the bustling high-rise buildings of New York. Although his reputation in the American investment community is good, this does not mean that he will not use certain means. If you don't have the means at all, how can you become a big capitalist?

"However, he only has five years to live, and speaking of which, it is not certain that the two of us will die first. What I have achieved in this life is already predestined, and it is almost impossible to improve again. So, I wanted to see where he could go before he died. ”

Teresa Roy is 67 years old this year, and although she is well-maintained, her physical condition is also deteriorating, and at his age, he can live one more day a day. And his industry is already fixed, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough. Not everyone can exchange $500,000 for a 10% stake on Facebook when it's only worth $5 million.

People are dying, and their words are also good, and Terré Sharoy chose to open the net because of Wen Ming's experience. If Wenming knows, I don't know if I should thank myself for pancreatic cancer?

The person in charge of the investment company understood, but he did not say anything to comfort him, the boss said that he was dying, how could his subordinates be comforted?

"Then we will continue with this four-party merger and acquisition case, and now, do you want to disclose these details to Apple?"

"Tell them, or our little genius may not be able to sleep tonight."

……

Wen Ming did have some insomnia, and he was worried about whether Instagram would be able to sell it at a high price as soon as possible. So, he decided to sell the game Plants vs. Zombies first.

Because of the madness of Instagram, the sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" have increased again. Up to now, "Plants vs. Zombies" has more than 30 million global paying users, bringing nearly $90 million in cash income to Wenming.

By this time, sales of Plants vs. Zombies had almost reached their limit, but thanks to InstagramArm's advertising on Plants vs. Zombies, many companies wanted to advertise on Plants vs. Zombies.

Wen Ming, on the other hand, has no bottom line, and launched a free version of "Plants vs. Zombies" for the first time, and its main market is Huaxia and other countries with serious piracy.

The free version doesn't charge any money, but it does have ads. Compared with the viruses that may exist in piracy, many users are still happy to accept the official free version.

And the income from advertising has made the amount on Wenming's Apple account successfully reach 9 figures, and the unit is US dollars.

Not all billionaires have $100 million in cash, but Wen Ming, who has $100 million in cash, is definitely a billionaire without a doubt.

"Why don't we just release Plants vs. Zombies 2 ourselves? Moreover, even if we keep running Plants vs. Zombies 1, we will be able to generate a lot of revenue through advertising. ”

Tom Ding, the head of planning of Apple's game division, was very puzzled when he learned that the company was going to sell the copyright of the "Plants vs. Zombies" series, and even the "Plants vs. Zombies 2" that had been developed.

Because the market response of "Plants vs. Zombies 2" is not good.

This true answer Wen Ming naturally can't tell Tom Ding directly, because "Plants vs. Zombies 2" was also developed under his leadership, although there are changes in the level, but the market really can't guarantee it.

In the previous life, "Plants vs. Zombies 2" sold far less than "Plants vs. Zombies 1".

"Because I need money to invest in another project!"

In addition to the fact that the market cannot guarantee it, what Wenming needs most is enough funds to put into production of Iphone4.

After this period of research and patent application, Wenming can now place orders for parts for the iPhone 4 to those hardware manufacturers.

But he doesn't have any money!

In his previous life, the cost of the iPhone 4 unit hardware was $273 (including foundry assembly fees), although Wen Ming did not need to invest tens of billions of dollars in research and development expenses like Apple, but the cost of this hardware was completely unavoidable for him.

Considering the hardware unit cost alone, it would take $273 million to make 1 million iPhone 4s.

In addition, there are transportation costs, marketing and promotion costs, store rent and decoration costs, and so on.

There is also a necessary investment, and that is royalties. Because Wen Ming founded Apple in a short time, and decades later than when Jobs created Apple, many patented technologies have been developed by other companies, and if he uses them, he still needs to pay a part of the patent royalties to other companies.

Roughly calculated, if you make 1 million iPhone 4s, it is impossible to complete without 350 million US dollars. Because those hardware manufacturers, as well as foundries, are unwilling to let Wenming owe money.

Although now Apple already has a certain influence, as well as related assets (instagarm). However, everyone who should know about Wenming having pancreatic cancer knows it. So, who knows when he's going to die?

As a result, the percentage of deposits required by those hardware manufacturers reached 60% of the total order amount. Of course, it is not without benefits, such a high deposit ratio allows Wen Ming to get the same treatment as Apple in his previous life.

Manufacturers have different pricing for the same product when facing different levels of customers. After Wen Ming's previous calculations, the hardware cost reached 300 US dollars, because he promised a 60% deposit, so that the price remained at the hardware cost price of Apple's mobile phone in the previous life.

But even so, Wen Ming's money is still not enough, what can he do if he can make 1 million iPhone4s?

In the previous life, the cumulative global sales of the iPhone 4 exceeded 100 million units, although this data was accumulated in the three years of the iPhone 4's release, but the first year was definitely the year with the most sales.

In addition, Wen Ming also wants to release the iPad at the same time.

"What project?" Tom Ding said dissatisfied: "Boss, you just recruited me into the company, do you want to make me unemployed?" ”

Wen Ming was a little helpless, he actually didn't want to sell the "Plants vs. Zombies" series now, but hardware production takes time. If you don't start doing it now, will the iPhone 4 still be officially released in 2010 like in its previous life?

"You don't need to worry, because I have a new assignment for you."

Wen Ming didn't explain that he wanted to make a mobile phone, because Tomding hadn't fully gained his trust yet, but he already had a new idea about Apple's game division.
