Back To 1995

   Chapter 411 Fragrant Pastry

After finishing things in San Jose, Song Yang and Jenny, as well as Irene, Gallo, Greck and others, started to take a business jet back to Houston, preparing to spend Christmas this year. Daana called early. Called and asked Song Yang and the others to return to Houston.

   And while Song Yang's business plane was still in the air, a piece of news spread throughout Silicon Valley and Wall Street, causing an uproar.

   All Apple investors were expecting Jobs to become the new president when news came out that Jobs bloodbathed the entire Apple management, dismissed the entire Apple board, and fired all directors except Ella Woolard.

This news is really too shocking. Wall Street institutions like to drive out company founders. This is almost a routine. This is how the Cisco couple was driven out, but the founders fired Wall Street institutions, and it was a one-time event. All got fired, which has never happened before!

   Not to mention Jobs' current status, he is still just an "advisor" of Apple. As an adviser, he dismissed all board members, and Jobs created a new history.

   It is estimated that the entire Apple board would not have thought that after welcoming Jobs back, they would end up like this.

   When Jobs gave the reason for dismantling the Apple board, the answer was, "This is the worst board I've ever seen, no one!"

   For those Apple directors who were fired, Jobs gave the answer that if they don’t leave, then Jobs will leave. Now that Apple has nothing, and if Jobs leaves again, then Apple has no other way than bankruptcy.

This made the directors who were fired by Jobs feel aggrieved and punched for a while, and then told them that if they dared to fight back, the money they invested in Apple would be wasted, which made them feel aggrieved for a while, but they were helpless. .

Amelio was expelled and Apple’s board of directors was dismissed. After 11 years of dormancy, Jobs finally avenged his revenge, and asked Apple to kneel and hand Jobs the scepter of Apple’s president. From this moment on, Apple officially entered the Steve Jobs era, and no one could stop Steve Jobs' decision.

   Only Amelio, who was expelled, only got Jobs's comment of "He is a good man, but not suitable to be a president", and Mike Maraku who was swept out of the house, are the stepping stones for Jobs to stage "The Return of the King".

  Amelio's true ability, no one can say, but he was obviously taken as a scapegoat by Steve Jobs, who drove him out of Apple's Sculley, and drove him away completely.

   Carrying Jobs' evaluation of him on his back, the position of Apple's president is basically the last stop of Amelio's career, and he will not be invited to any other company in the future...

And Markkula, who has been entangled with Jobs, has also become another major "villain" in Jobs' revenge story. If Jobs can lead Apple out of the quagmire in the future, then Markkula will probably bear all kinds of things on his back. All kinds of rumors about lack of vision, unknown people, backstabbing Steve Jobs, and destroying Apple.

Jobs got his revenge and regained control of Apple, which seems to be very popular, but this behavior of taking the entire board of directors into one pot has basically cut off the relationship with Wall Street. It is not so easy for Apple to make money from Wall Street. …

  When the entire Silicon Valley was shocked by Jobs' tactics, not many people noticed that the two hardware companies in Song Yang's hands also started to move.

  Alcatel mobile phone, quietly announced that it will start production of new mobile phones, but after being acquired and reorganized, the silent Alcatel mobile phone did not attract much attention.

   A new player in the semiconductor industry, PA has also publicly announced that it will choose Texas Instruments to manufacture the first high-performance chip product of PA Semiconductor. In addition, it will build a fab in China and invest in Singapore to acquire supporting manufacturers.

As a new player in the semiconductor industry, these moves of PA Semiconductor have not attracted much attention, especially compared with the new fabs of more than one billion dollars invested by Intel and AMD in Asia, PA Semiconductor. But it's just a project.

No one knows whether PA Semiconductor is bragging or is really ready to enter the market. The entire semiconductor industry has not yet regarded PA as a new opponent. One day, it made a big move and acquired one of the DEC semiconductor departments. It is estimated that it will attract the attention of all colleagues.

  The location of the Alcatel mobile phone production base in Yanjing is busy now. Numerous engineers and construction workers are in full swing. After this building is completed, it will likely become the largest mobile phone production base in China, from drawings to reality.

  As a manager, Song Yang invests in all industries in the country. Fang Qiuyu, the head of the Star Wish Investment Foundation, is wearing a helmet and a group of people looking at the huge construction site in front of him.

  The investment of 100 million US dollars and nearly 900 million RMB has made the Alcatel mobile phone base a large area of ​​land in Yanjing.

   In the planning map, after the completion of this place, it will not only become the largest mobile phone production and assembly base in China, but also a new living area in Yanjing.

  The production base that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is also equipped with complete supporting facilities, including commercial buildings, residences, supermarkets and other facilities. These are all projects developed by the Star Hope Investment Foundation!

I don’t know if this mobile phone production base will make any money in the future, but as long as it starts to operate, the Star Wish Foundation will not be able to make a lot of money by relying on surrounding projects. Of course, this is also a risk. It's about to become a mess.

  Fang Qiuyu, who was surrounded by a group of people, is now more powerful. As the head of the largest venture capital company in China, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Qiuyu decides the life and death of a small company.

Since the appearance of the Wishing Star Foundation, there has been a sudden upsurge of the Internet in China, and Internet companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the first idea of ​​these companies after their establishment is to find the Wishing Star Foundation to invest money !

The building of Star Wish Investment Foundation in Yanjing is now called the “Holy Land” of the domestic Internet. They all want to get the venture capital of Star Wish Foundation. Like emerging Internet companies such as Sohu, 8848, and Chinabyte, they have all moved into the building. Among them, there are even more rumors that moving into it is only one step away from logging on to Nasdaq…

   In addition to the Internet industry, the Wishing Star Foundation has also invested in Yinghaiwei, Panda TV, and bought stocks of companies such as Vanke, Gree, and Changchun High-tech in the stock market.

I don’t know how many companies come to the Star Wish Foundation every day, and there are countless people who want to find Fang Qiuyu to invest money. They are in their positions to keep their energy. The position of the Star Wish Investment Foundation naturally makes Fang Qiuyu more powerful. .

   "The first phase of the project will be completed by the end of next year. The production of Alcatel mobile phones has already begun, and this production base must start operating!"

   Looking at the large construction site in front of him, Fang Qiuyu said to the person in charge of the construction company that the Star Wish Investment Foundation manages all domestic investment projects, and Fang Qiuyu naturally manages large and small projects.

It seems that the scenery is infinite, but Fang Qiuyu and Alexander, relying on the huge investment of the Star Wish Foundation, Fang Qiuyu is sought after by all parties, and even many departments regard Fang Qiuyu as a guest, but Fang Qiuyu knows that these are all because of his ass. Without the position of the head of the Star Wish Foundation, all this is now a castle in the air. He needs to make achievements so that Song Yang, who is far away in America, can see it, otherwise... I am afraid there are people who want to be right. He replaced it.

   For Fang Qiuyu's request, the people of the Construction Engineering Group are all embarrassed. They have already transferred a large number of people, but the construction period is too tight.

However, in the face of the big funder, the people from the Construction Engineering Group did not dare to say no. It is really a big funder like the Star Wish Foundation. If you don't delay even a day, you can't find such a funder in the country with a lantern. If they don't want to do it, then some construction companies are willing to do it!

When Fang Qiuyu and the construction group were discussing the construction period, a few people suddenly ran over. A middle-aged man headed by him called out when he saw Fang Qiuyu from a distance. Fang Qiuyu knew when he saw how these people were dressed. Where did they come from?
