Chapter 320 The pig on the tuyere

Jobs and Larry Page were both geniuses

This is Tao Xi's own opinion and the evaluation of them in the news on the radio. Tao Xi has tried to simulate many times in the middle of the night when no one is around, if he can think of so many excellent concepts.

the answer is negative.

No matter how Tao Xi tried to imitate him, he couldn't come up with a reasonable method, so Tao Xi planned to invest in these two people!
As for being the president of 12345 Technology or something, it's just a wording.

This kind of proud person will be inferior to others. This is the pride of every genius, and his younger brother Hill is also proud, although he is a technical geek.

But Hill prefers to use various means to subdue those smart people to serve him.

This may be the comparison of three different geniuses: ordinary people, rich people, and sewer dwellers.

As for the research and development of "smart phones", Tao Xi does not intend to slow down. Since Motorola and Nokia are unwilling to cooperate with 12345 Technology, then let him find talents to build the future.

"Mr. Tao Xi, I'm glad you still remember my existence, but I have to say that the development of 12345 technology is already very forward-looking."

"I can't imagine my role in it."

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request."

When Jobs said this, several people around him looked at him in surprise.

But Tao Xi was not surprised by Jobs' answer, which was Jobs's pride: "Of course, since I can find you, I must know you very well."

"Since you can survive in a place like Hollywood, it proves your superiority."

"I've always had a lot of respect for talent."

Jobs couldn't help swallowing when he heard Tao Xi's answer.

He was moved, Pixar animation was just a small toy he created in his spare time, but what he really cared about was Apple!
But he didn't know how to communicate with the boss on the opposite side, how to get the boss to help him return to Apple again.

He didn't know how patient this rich man was with him.

"Actually, I know that you are now the largest privately held shareholder of Apple. I don't know if you can help me return to Apple again. If I can return to Apple, I can help you increase your valuation."

What Jobs said was very illogical and even slightly confusing.
But Tao Xi learned about Jobs' obsession with Apple from it. Tao Xi took a sip of water and snapped his fingers in mid-air to interrupt Jobs' soliloquy.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Jobs, if I can come to you, it proves that I understand your demands!"

"It's very easy to help you return to Apple. I'm seeking legal person shares in Apple recently. If everything goes well, I will be the new actual controller of Apple!"

"It's just that you don't know what you can use to repay me?"

Tao Xi looked at Jobs with a playful face. For a fresh graduate like Larry Page, Tao Xi can give him enough respect.

It would be a little unrealistic to engage in this kind of routine with an old fritter like Jobs who has been in the mall for decades.

Tao Xi needs to make Jobs realize the difficulty of this matter, just like love, if a man gets it too easily, he will not cherish it.

If this matter is hard-won, then he will pay more and be more grateful correspondingly!

"Pixar animation is my heart! I don't know about you"

"I can buy him. MGM's light and shadow technology is not inferior to Pixar animation, and Sun Media is seeking to go public. Sun Media lost MGM and lacks a creative enterprise like Pixar."

Of course, Tao Xi can't tell the news that Sun Media is going to be split.
But Jobs, who was sitting across from him, stopped breathing in an instant. Of course, he understood what Tao Xi said.

Tao Xi agreed to his request!
"Are you willing to support my idea?"

After Tao Xi nodded, he shook his hand at a secretary behind him, and the secretary handed over the invitation letter belonging to Apple with great discernment.

[Specially invite xxx to serve as the CEO of Apple Technology Co., Ltd., and grant xxx 4% management options. During this period, Mr. xxx will represent Panama Commercial Bank’s advice. 】

Jobs looked at the invitation letter in his hand
Do not!
It is a letter of employment, and there are management options. You must know that when Jobs was kicked out of Apple, he did not retain any equity in his hand.

"Then what do I need to pay?"

Tao Xi shook his head helplessly when he heard Jobs' words: "Apple is mine now, what more do you ask for? Isn't it true that the higher the value created by Apple, the more in line with my ideas?"

Jobs froze for a moment

But soon he laughed, and took the initiative to bend down to refill Tao Xi while Tao Xi was still drinking water. As for the merger and acquisition of Pixar animation, that was a small case.

business is business

Sincerity can never be mixed with other things. Larry Page started Google's founders meeting as soon as he returned to Google!

Revolving around Tao Xi's meeting this time
Technology companies in the entire Silicon Valley have begun to undergo some changes. Although they don't know the dynamics of Tao Xi's acquisition of Apple and Google, they are actively referring to the listing template of the [say hello] company this time!

Because [say hello] since its listing, whether it is the profit report announced after the listing on Nasdaq or the continuous rise in stock prices, the entire Silicon Valley has fallen into a sea of ​​​​crazy!

However, some people have noticed that the capital that Tao Xi belongs to is constantly selling and reselling their shares, but the group of communication operators who are frantically grabbing the control of [say hello] have all suppressed the news.

In 1999 when the Internet economy was on the rise, no one noticed this, [say hello] finally started their "social frenzy" ahead of schedule, and no one noticed Google's mobile phone plan at the end of 1999!
When Apple was three months into Jobs' tenure, no one even noticed that Apple's first mobile terminal product had started their prototype development and most of the employees in the Microsoft Hardware Division had left.

While all the organizations are still fighting frantically for their main business websites and mailbox market, some people have slowly begun to try smart hardware development.

In the big environment of the Internet, you can really become the pig on the wind only if you step fast.

The market value of [say hello] successfully broke through the market value of 200 billion US dollars in January of the millennium.

The only one who can compete with him in Nasdaq is Yahoo Search, [say hello] As the brightest new star on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the United States, no one can ignore the luxurious Investment lineup.

Any company that takes it out is a giant in a certain region or country.

"Now that Tao Xi has emptied out all the shares in Say Hello, are you sure he can agree to our conditions?"

Joshua was sitting on the top floor of an office building in the center of New York, staring at his wife gloomily and asked, while Susie touched the luxury goods she had just bought from Lv with an expression of reluctance.

"Damn!"

"I've said it before, now that the family is suffering difficulties, you shouldn't buy these things. You are still talking about your past consumption habits now!"

"I said you are wrong!"

Susie didn't say a word about her husband's questioning but let out a long sigh.

That's right, two years ago, the man she married was the owner of a very influential local newspaper in Washington, although the newspaper was not as world famous as the New York Times and the Washington Post.

But their family can still live a good life in Washington and New York with newspapers every year.

Occasionally, one or two wealthy advertisers will give them a lot of sponsorship fees to promote certain politicians in Washington.

But the days have been getting worse day by day since last year, and the good life that she could still hang out in the New York celebrity circle has gradually moved away from her.

If she and Jin Xizhen hadn't obtained an advertisement from Neil's chain investment in private last month, maybe their family would have gone bankrupt!

"I've done what I can, and without me, your damn newspaper would have gone out of business by now!"

"I gave this silk scarf to Jin Xizhen. If you still want to quarrel with me, let's get a divorce!"

Although Susie spoke harshly, her tone was calm.

She was still young, and she didn't want to hang out with her worthless husband who went to and from Las Vegas every day at this time.

If he hadn't fallen in love with gambling, the family business wouldn't have run out of money so quickly.

Joshua sighed helplessly seeing his wife like this
It's not the first time his wife has asked him for a "divorce", but he doesn't know how to refuse, and he doesn't know how to bring back the bad days of their young couple to the past again.

but not long ago

Her wife told him that [say hello], which has been very popular in the media recently, is a wedding dress that Tao Xi made for a group of rich people, in order to repay the [Neill Hospital], which has just established a foothold in the medical industry not long ago. .

Joshua has heard those rich people praise the new thing of the Internet more than once in the casino
easy money
fast money

Valuation is high!

Unlike the ancestral property in his hand, he earns 5 cents for each newspaper sold. If he is lucky, the salesman below is capable enough, maybe he can get a lucrative sponsorship contract this month.

But if there is a company that can go public, he can quickly cash out a sum of money and become a rich man!
"Are you sure about saying hello, Tao Xi has really cashed out?"

Susie couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard her husband's question: "Do you really think you can own as many property rights as Bell Labs' property rights library? Or can you own as many property rights as the American Telephone Company?" That provides Tao Xi with some connections in Washington, you have nothing, how can you ask Tao Xi to help you!"

Joshua was not offended when he heard his wife's sarcasm

On the contrary, he was very glad that he supported his wife to hang out in New York. Not only did she get to the top of the New York celebrity circle, she even had a good relationship with Jin Xizhen.

Although his wife is reluctant to tell the story of their celebrity circle every time, he is still very happy.

At least he still has the capital to stand up. Joshua thought for a while before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Can you help me get Tao Xi? I can help Tao Xi and give him a good return !"

"you?"

"If you had the ability to help Tao Xi, you wouldn't go to Las Vegas to hang out every day!" Susie complained to him dissatisfied, but the hand in her hand was still rubbing the silk scarf But stopped.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse
Although her husband is dead now, when she married Joshua, she heard that Joshua's grandpa used to have a lot of connections in Washington during his most glorious time.

Although the time has passed so many years, her husband always mails many gifts for his grandpa's old memories at Christmas.

There are occasional gifts in return, and Susie doesn't want to lose the life her husband has provided her.

"Those old stories about your grandfather?"

Joshua hesitated for a while but nodded slowly: "I heard that the Sunshine Industrial Group is going to take over a piece of land in Canada, but BHP Billiton has a great advantage now. If I can help him, maybe I can too." Get a reward!"

"Canada?"

"Yes, my grandfather used to have an old friend who is now the director of the mining department of BHP Billiton. I heard him talk about this matter last year, but I don't know how it is going now."

Susie seriously recalled the Joshua greeting cards and gift lists she had compiled.

It seems that there is indeed an address in Canada in her memory, but Joshua has never met the other party. Susie needs to know everything.

You must know that she was able to get into the intriguing environment of the New York celebrity circle not because of money, but because of her scheming!

Because there are really too many rich people in it, she managed to gain a foothold from it, and she didn't want to ruin her reputation just because of her husband who was about to go bankrupt!
"I know you do have a senior in Canada, but I have never seen you go to Canada, how do you know these things!"

Joshua closed his eyes and thought carefully about the aftertaste of the cigar in his hand. He didn't speak until his wife took the initiative to bring him a glass of water.

"He's not in Canada, I saw him because he was in Las Vegas, you know, those Canadian officials like to entertain guests there!"

"I remember him saying this when he was drinking too much. I was very impressed by his impression of saying this, because he was holding a business card of Panama Commercial Bank in his hand."
