Chapter 57: Sell ​​Apple Short?

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

So, after investing in instagarm, he arranged for someone to operate it. The purpose of the operation was naturally to sell the instagarm as soon as possible.

With an investment of $ 47 million, the interest rate itself is very high. The sooner it can be sold, the more cost savings it will make, and it will naturally earn more.

"Wen Ming is a genius, but he is still too young for capital operations."

In New York, Teresa Roy's staff reported the situation to her after being asked by Sith, the head of Apple's legal department.

"The current Facebook does not have the money to acquire instagarm, but this does not mean that they do not need instagarm. As long as they need it, then we have a way to operate this thing."

The head of the investment company named Teresa Roy asked curiously: "Why help him? If we rely on this 10% equity, force the instagarm to be sold after a few years. Then, his Apple has no money to invest in the 'dinosaur' resurrection project. "

负责 This person in charge knows the treaties related to the dinosaur resurrection project, because he is the one who presides over the contract signed. His potential meaning is already obvious, that is, to break Wenming's capital chain, and then put Wenming's funds into the dinosaur resurrection project and swallow all of it.

之后 Later, they can sell that 10% equity when the instagarm is the most valuable, and maximize the benefits. For capitalists, this method is not unusual or cruel, because the world of capital is itself a very cruel world.

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

Theresa Roy looked at the office's huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the windows were New York's bustling high-rise buildings. Although his reputation in the US investment community is good, it does not mean that he will not use certain methods. How can you become a big capitalist without any means?

"But he only has five years of life. Speaking of which, the two of us are not necessarily dead first. The achievements of my life are already doomed and it is almost impossible to improve. So I want to see if he can Where did you go before you died? "

Teresa Roy is 67 years old this year. Although well-maintained, her physical condition is deteriorating. At his age, one more day is one day. And his industries are already fixed, it is difficult to make breakthroughs. Not everyone was able to exchange 10 million shares for 500,000 dollars when Facebook was worth only 5 million dollars.

Tatar is about to die, and his words are also good. Because of Wenming's experience, Taylor-Saroy chose to open the net. If Wenming knows, I do n’t know if I should be grateful for pancreatic cancer.

The person in charge of the investment company understood it, but he didn't give a word of comfort. The boss said that he was dying. How can the people under him comfort him?

"Then we will continue this quadrilateral merger and acquisition case. Now, shall we disclose these details to Apple?"

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

Uh ...

Wu Wenming did feel a little insomnia. He was worried whether the instagarm could be sold at a high price as soon as possible. So he decided to sell the game Plants vs. Zombies first.

Due to the instagarm's madness, the sales of Plants vs. Zombies have once again increased. As of now, the global number of paying users of "Plant Vs. Zombies" has exceeded 30 million times, bringing nearly 90 million US dollars in cash income to Wenming.

By this time, the sales of "Plant Vs. Zombies" have reached their limit, but due to the effect of instagarm on "Plant Vs. Zombies", many companies hope to advertise on "Plant Vs. Zombies".

Suddenly, Wenming did not have the slightest bottom line, and launched the free version of "Plant Vs. Zombies" at the first time. The main market it faces is China, such as China, and other countries with serious piracy.

The free version does not charge money, but it has ads. Compared with the virus that may exist in piracy, many users are still willing to accept the official free version.

As a result of the advertising revenue, the amount on Wenming's Apple account has successfully reached 9 digits, and the unit is US dollars.

Not all billionaires have $ 100 million in cash, but the news of having $ 100 million in cash is definitely a billionaire without a doubt.

为什么 "Why don't we publish Plants vs. Zombies 2 directly? And even if we keep running Plants vs. Zombies 1, we can generate a lot of revenue through advertising."

丁 Tom Ting, the head of the game department of Apple Inc., found out that Wenming was very puzzled when he learned that the company was selling the rights to the "Plant Vs Zombies" series, and even the "Plant Vs Zombies 2" that had been developed.

Because the market response of "Plant Vs Zombies 2" is not good.

真实 This real answer Wen Ming naturally cannot tell Tom Ding directly, because "Plant Vs Zombies 2" was also developed under his leadership. Although the level has changed, the market really cannot guarantee it.

The previous version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 sold far less than Plants vs. Zombies 1.

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

In addition to the market's inability to guarantee, what Wenming needs most is sufficient funds for the production of Iphone4.

After this period of research and patent application, Wenming can now place orders for those hardware manufacturers on iphone4 parts.

But he has no money!

The unit hardware cost of the previous iPhone 4 was 273 US dollars (including foundry assembly costs). Although Wenming did not need to invest tens of billions of dollars in research and development costs like Apple Inc., he could not save the cost of the hardware.

If only the unit cost of the hardware is counted, it will cost US $ 273 million to make 1 million iPhone4s.

Moreover, transportation costs, marketing expenses, store rents and renovation costs are also required.

One more necessary investment is patent royalties. Because Wenming's time to create Apple was too short, and it was decades later than when Jobs founded Apple, many patented technologies have been developed by other companies. If he uses them, he still needs to pay a part of them to other companies. Royalties.

Roughly calculated, if one million iphone4s are manufactured, it would not be possible without 350 million U.S. dollars. Because those hardware manufacturers, as well as foundries, are unwilling to let Wenming owe money.

Although the current Apple company has a certain influence ~ www.readwn.com ~ and related assets (instagarm). However, anyone who knows about pancreatic cancer has known it. So, who knows when he will die?

As a result, the percentage of deposit required by those hardware manufacturers has reached 60% of the total order amount. Of course, it is not without benefits. Such a high deposit ratio allows Wenming to get the same treatment as the previous Apple.

When manufacturers face different levels of customers, the pricing of the same product is different. After Wenming's previous calculations, the hardware cost obtained was $ 300 USD, because the 60% deposit was allowed to keep the price to the hardware cost price of previous Apple phones.

But even so, Wenming's money is still not enough. What can I do to make 1 million iphone4?

In the past, the cumulative global sales of iphone4 exceeded 100 million units. Although this data is accumulated over three years of iphone4 release, the first year is definitely the year with the most sales.

In addition, Wenming also wants to release ipad simultaneously.

"What project?" Tom Ding said dissatisfied. "Boss, you just hired me into the company, do you want me to lose my job?"

Wu Wenming was helpless. He didn't really want to sell the Plants vs. Zombies series now, but hardware production takes time. If you do n’t start now, will the iPhone 4 be officially released as before in 2010?

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

Wu Wenming didn't explain that he wanted to make a mobile phone, because Tom Ting has not fully won his trust, but he has new ideas about Apple's gaming division.
