Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 176 Worry

After Apple's iTunes opened, it sold more than one million songs in the first week, which has shown the signs of a certain trend. Ye Dongqing thinks it is a good time to strike while the iron is hot, and give Jobs some advice, which can help others and help others. Own.

Almost everything that should be sold has been sold to him, and it will be more difficult to increase Apple's stock holdings next, unless real money can be used to lure some institutions to sell at a premium, but when the warrant agreement expires , Danshui Investment Group needs to spend a large amount of money for delivery. He is not sure whether he can continue to increase his holdings during this period of time. Anyway, the acquisition will definitely be much smaller than before, and the starting price will continue to rise.

It’s just a suggestion about smart devices and Apple’s ecological chain. Even if Jobs really paid attention to it and decided to implement it, it would take several years to prepare slowly. After all, the technological level is not up to the requirements. The most urgent task now is to help the MAC series. Increase sales of computer products and allow third-party program developers to join in and grow together.

Not long after parting ways with Bonnie Ma, Ye Dongqing sat in front of her laptop and used her own insights to describe the future scenarios that would be most suitable for Apple, such as ipods and mobile phones that can read e-books and play games, as well as lighter mobile computers The iPad, as well as self-driving electric cars, etc., are hardware, and the supporting software service ecological chain is also slowly taking shape on his screen, which is depicted in the form of words.

He doesn't know much about the specific technology, and the article seems empty and unbelievable, much like the future science fiction written by the writer. It is not certain whether it will be taken seriously, but Steve Jobs sold his Apple shares back then, leaving only one In the past few years, some equity awards have been obtained, and the number is so small that decision-making power can be ignored.

If his suggestion does not work, then Ye Dongqing will exercise his shareholder rights in the near future and force the other party to develop according to his own ideas. After all, Jobs is a part-time worker. The company that was created broke the ties.

It is necessary to hurry up and pay attention to those key technologies that may be profitable in the future. After Ye Dongqing lost her idea of ​​starting a business and making mobile phones, she pinned her hopes on Apple. He will never sit idly by on planning issues.

  After becoming an important shareholder, he already has a little say in Apple...

  The Internet companies in my hands are not a big problem, and I have time to worry about other companies that I invest in.

After another month or two, YouTube, a video sharing platform, will also be launched. Judging from the promotion effect of Facebook on Skype, I believe that the attention will not be low. Ye Dongqing approved the development plan. Apart from providing funds, he only Can wait patiently, the focus of work is mainly on supervising the employees to avoid delaying development and marketing plans.

Wealth is **** more and more. At first, you can only earn tens of thousands of dollars a week. With the launch of two popular programs, you can get hundreds of millions of dollars a week. The miracle that happened to Google is also happening on Facebook at the moment. It is happening in the body that the increase in valuation has led to an increase in the amount of wealth on the book, but it is a pity that the money is burned too much. In the absence of loans, the capital chain is very tight.

   I concentrated on writing for more than two hours, and my typing speed was too slow. One piece of advice only has more than 4,000 words, and everything I want to say is included in it.

   After saving it and printing it out, Ye Dongqing contacted Tim Cook and said that he would invite him to have dinner with Mr. Jobs to discuss some matters. He received a reply soon, and the time was set for tomorrow night.

  ************

"If he thinks that he can order me to do things he doesn't like at will if he becomes a major shareholder, then he must be wrong! Why can't he let it go like the previous shareholders, Tim, you met him, that What kind of personality does the little guy have?"

  Jobs was secretly annoyed when he got the notice. He liked the original atmosphere. Hundreds of fund companies spread out their shares, which meant more stability and no "dictator" other than him.

However, Ye Dongqing came out and acquired and merged so many shares in one go. He has already reached the point where he has to pay attention to it. Soon he will be able to compete with Jobs, the CEO, so Jobs feels uncomfortable. This feeling that someone is suppressing him It's not good.

Tim Cook and Mr. Jobs have worked together for so long, and he has long been familiar with the strangeness. He shrugged calmly and said, "If you were willing to take the time to meet him just now, don't worry at all now. He is a very smart young man who has achieved success in all aspects. , invested in several companies, to be honest, only our Apple company has the worst performance, and the media reported it as a joke.”

"But that was before the launch of iTunes, and by the time the second-quarter financial report is released in early June, he will definitely make a lot of money through stocks! Hell, it seems that you are right, that guy really has a vision." Jobs boasted To put it bluntly, there was no shareholder who could threaten him on his own before, but with Ye Dongqing's appearance, the situation has quietly changed.

  In the 1980s, he was kicked out of Apple by the board of directors. More than ten years later, he still left a shadow in his heart and began to worry about his own safety.

Now Jobs is not the successful man who is called "Godfather" by countless young people. Almost all the glory in this life is tied to Apple. It is not surprising that he is worried. Smart, smart young people tend to be very conceited, and I've come from his age to know what to think.

If because of a little conflict, the idea of ​​​​changing a CEO arises, maybe the power of Wall Street will support him. I don’t need to say more, you know very well that the members of our company’s board of directors almost all represent Wall Street investors. . "

   "Then you should be more friendly, such as bringing a bottle of red wine to meet him. I heard that Chinese people like to eat some strange food. You can book the restaurant at a Chinese restaurant, which is more in line with Leo's taste.

Don't worry boss, iPod sales are great, isn't it? If you think about replacing you, you should change your bad temper. If you fall out, you may be removed. It is said that Leo is very famous on Wall Street in New York , I think the board is mostly on his side. "

  Tim Cook is advising Jobs, and he is also a little worried. He is worried that the addition of a major shareholder will have an impact on the next step.

  If Ye Dongqing knew about this conversation about herself, she would definitely be happy for several days. Both of them will be influential celebrities in the future, and they are actually starting to worry about whether they can keep their jobs...
