Chapter 113: The Dinosaur Fossil Museum that is about to be decommissioned

"I really didn't expect you to be able to do this, and trust me, it's one of the best decisions you've ever made."

As the head of Apple's legal department, Sith naturally received Wen Ming's notice as soon as possible. Although it will take half a year for Teresa Roy to raise funds, now that it has been confirmed that she wants to take a stake, a lot of work can be carried out in advance.

"If our company wants to go public, then it will be very difficult to get the real market value without the support of established capital like Teresa Roy."

"The superficial meaning of market capitalization is how much a company is worth, however, how much it is really worth is not based on the perception of ordinary shareholders, but on the perception of the capital side," Sith said. They can easily make a truly valuable company worthless, and they can make an unvaluable company valuable. In this regard, we urgently need Teresa Roy's support. ”

"Of course, if it weren't for your almost harsh desire to control equity, I think we would have been able to get the support of more established capital, you know, the financing requests we have received in recent times have filled one of our archives."

Compared to the excitement of the Sith, Wen Ming was very calm, as for his almost demanding desire to control the equity, it was only because he knew how huge the benefits of the apple in his hand could create.

"Didn't I take out 1% of the equity as a technical and management dividend? Even according to Teresa Roy's valuation, 1% is equivalent to $1.4 billion, and the number of employees in our company is only more than 400 now. So, you must not say that I am an iron rooster. ”

After the success of the iPhone, in order to reward the company's employees and increase their loyalty to the company, Wenming took out 1% of the share dividend rights, which were distributed according to the level and contribution of employees.

Employees who are allocated shares can enjoy the dividend rights of their shares during their employment or after retirement in the future, but if they leave the company or are fired for some reason, then their dividend rights will be withdrawn.

Don't underestimate the right to dividends, with Apple's current net profit of more than $3 billion in a quarter, 1% of the dividend right can get $120 million in dividends a year, that is to say, among Apple's current more than 400 employees, those who have the right to dividends can share $120 million equally.

What is this concept?

Not to mention that there are only a few dozen people who currently have the right to dividends, even if there are more than 400 people, and they are evenly distributed, then each person can get about 300,000 US dollars. In fact, Peter, the head of Apple's mobile phone division, is expected to pay a dividend of $2 million this year, far exceeding his annual salary.

What's more, Apple is about to release the iPad, as well as other products that are being studied.

Sith smiled: "No one says you're an iron rooster, only that you're too generous, even Mark Zuckerberg, the boss who was known as the most generous before, didn't take out $1.4 billion worth of shares and directly regarded them as technical management dividend shares." ”

Wen Ming said: "Regarding what you said about increasing shareholders, I can let go now, because with Teresa Roy's shares, the valuation of $150 billion no longer needs me to talk much." As long as the other party agrees with the valuation of $150 billion, we can examine the strength of the other party. As you said, we need more capital to support us now, or something like Nokia will stumble again. ”

Regarding Nokia's behavior, Wen Ming could not forget it so quickly, and if Wen Ming had a few old capital as shareholders, Nokia would not dare to do that at all.

Sith asked, "How many shares are you going to give away?" ”

Wen Ming replied: "I am ready to release 10% of the shares, but these 10% of the shares can never be obtained by the same capital, and it is best to distribute the capital of 10% of the shares equally, each of which is hostile." ”

Sith laughed and said, "You take it for granted, although there may indeed be a hostile relationship between them, as long as interests are involved, they will definitely shake hands and make peace at the first time." ”

Wen Ming replied: "I know this, so I only release 10% of the shares, and the financing of this part of the equity will be my personal arbitrage, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Normal financing is to give the company the funds it needs to seek development, but now Apple's cash flow is huge, and there is no need to get development funds from other sources. Therefore, Wen Ming chose to cash out.

This is also no way, the real enterprise is not what many people imagine, the boss can withdraw funds from the company's books at will, especially when there are other shareholders, even if you are a major shareholder with absolute controlling rights, you can not withdraw the funds on the company's books at will.

And although Wen Ming now owns Apple, he doesn't actually have much money. Of course, offering a salary of tens of millions of dollars a year to himself, the president of Apple, is nothing compared to the vast majority of rich people.

Sith said: "I understand what you mean, in this case, you can control a part of the funds to prevent them from maliciously increasing capital and encroaching on your equity, and you can also use this part of the funds to invest in other businesses." ”

Wen Ming nodded and said: "This matter does not need to be implemented as soon as possible, the company's main work at present is the release of the iPad, and after the official sale of the iPad, I think the valuation of 150 billion US dollars should be increased again." When the time comes, we may be able to set a record for the highest financing valuation of a private company. ”

Sith laughed, "Actually, when Teresa Roy decided to take a stake, we had already set that record. ”

Wen Ming also smiled: "Then, let's make this record higher." ”

……

The three velociraptors had been growing for a week, and they were growing so well that Cui Chuanming thought they weren't dinosaurs.

"In our current environment, can dinosaurs still maintain this growth rate?"

Cui Chuanming looked at the three velociraptors in a bit of a daze, and now the cultivation location of the three velociraptors has been changed to the natural simulation area of the laboratory.

In the 360-degree glass enclosed area with no dead ends, three velocrats have just finished their 'hunting' and are enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Because the modern environment is different from the ancient one, the top glass of this natural simulation area has an optimized effect on ultraviolet light. And this optimization, as the velociraptor grows, slowly translates into modern ultraviolet concentrations. In fact, in addition to ultraviolet rays, even soil, plants, air concentration, humidity, etc., are all simulating the earth's environment in the Jurassic era.

To put it simply, it is to let the velociraptor complete the evolution in a short period of time and get used to the modern environment.

However, there are still many gaps between this simulation and the real natural environment. That's why Cui Chuanming has this kind of question.

"I don't know, maybe that's the magic of life."

Benjamin looked at the three velociraptors as if he were his own children, and in just one week, they had grown from 12 centimeters long and 5 centimeters tall to 30 centimeters long and 14 centimeters tall.

Wen Ming smiled: "I only know that in a few months, we will be able to retire the world's dinosaur fossil museums from history." ”
