Wall Street Legend

Chapter 176 Worry

After Apple's iTunes opened, more than one million songs were sold in the first week. This has already shown signs of a certain trend. Ye Dongqing thought that it was a good time to strike while the iron was hot and gave Jobs some advice, which could not only help others, but also help others. Own.

Almost everything that needs to be sold has been sold to him. It will become more difficult to increase Apple's stock holdings in the future, unless real money and silver can be used to induce some institutions to sell at a premium. But when the warrant agreement expires, , Tamsui Investment Group needs to spend a large amount of money for delivery. He is not sure whether it can continue to increase its holdings during this period. Anyway, the acquisition intensity will definitely be much smaller than before, and the purchase price will continue to rise.

It's just a suggestion about smart devices and Apple's ecological chain. Even if Jobs really takes it seriously and decides to implement it, it will take several years to slowly prepare. After all, the technological level is not up to standard. The top priority now is to help the MAC series. computer products to increase sales and allow third-party program developers to join in and grow together.

Shortly after parting with Boni Ma, Ye Dongqing sat in front of his laptop and used his own opinions to describe the future scenario that was most suitable for Apple, such as iPods and mobile phones that can read e-books and play games, as well as lighter mobile computers. iPads, as well as electric cars that can drive themselves, etc. These are hardware, and the supporting software service ecological chain is also slowly taking shape on his screen and is described in the form of text.

He doesn’t know much about specific technologies, and his articles seem empty and incredible, much like the writer’s future science fiction novels. It’s not certain whether he will be taken seriously, but Steve Jobs sold off his shares in Apple, leaving only one in his hands. I have received some equity awards in recent years, but the amount is so small that I can ignore the decision-making power.

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 wage earner. After selling the stock back then, he and his friends would have joined the company. The company that created it cut ties.

It is necessary to seize the time and pay attention now to those key technologies that may be very profitable in the future. After Ye Dongqing gave up the idea of ​​​​starting his own business to make mobile phones, he pinned his hopes on Apple. It doesn’t matter how willful Mr. Jobs is at ordinary times, but for the long-term He will never sit back and ignore planning issues.

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

The Internet companies in my hands don't have big problems, and I have time to worry about other companies I invest in.

In another month or two, YouTube, a video sharing platform, will also be launched. Judging from Facebook's promotion of Skype, I believe the attention will not be low. Ye Dongqing approved the development plan. Apart from providing funds, he only I can wait patiently and focus on supervising employees to avoid delays in development and marketing plans.

Wealth is snowballing. At first, I could only earn tens of thousands of dollars a week. With the launch of two popular programs, I can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in a week. The miracle that happened to Google is also happening to Facebook. What is happening is that the increase in valuation has led to an increase in the amount of book wealth. Unfortunately, the money burn is too high. In the absence of loans, the capital chain is very tight.

I concentrated on writing for more than two hours, but my typing speed was too slow. There are only more than 4,000 words in one suggestion, 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 have dinner with Mr. Jobs to discuss some matters. He received a reply quickly and the time was set for tomorrow evening.

************

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

Jobs was secretly annoyed after being notified. He liked the original atmosphere. Hundreds of fund companies dispersed their equity, which meant more stability and there would be no "dictator" other than him.

It happened that Ye Dongqing came out and acquired and merged so many shares in one go. It had already reached the point where it had to be taken seriously. Soon he would be able to compete with Steve Jobs as CEO. That's why Jobs felt unhappy. He felt like someone above him was suppressing him. It's not pleasant.

Tim Cook has been working with Mr. Jobs for so long, and he has long been used to it. He shrugged calmly and said: "If you were willing to take the time to meet him just now, there is no need to worry at all now. He is a very smart young man who has achieved achievements in all aspects." , has invested in several companies, but to be honest, only our Apple company’s performance is the least impressive, and the media reported it as a joke.”

"But that was before iTunes was launched. When the second quarter earnings report is released in early June, he will definitely make a lot of money from stocks! Hell, it seems you are right, that guy does have a lot of vision." Jobs boasted. After saying that he had not been able to threaten his shareholders on his own before, with the appearance of Ye Dongqing, the situation was quietly changed.

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

Now Steve Jobs is not the successful man who is called the "godfather" by countless young people. Almost all the glory in this life is tied to Apple. It is not surprising that he is worried. He continued: "I am just afraid that he will be too Smart, smart young people are often very conceited. I have also come from his age and know what to think.

If the idea of ​​​​changing a CEO comes up due to a little conflict, maybe the forces on Wall Street will support him. Needless to say, you know very well that almost all the board members of our company 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 a restaurant in a Chinese restaurant, which is more in line with Leo's taste.

Don't worry, boss, iPod sales are great, aren't they? If the idea of ​​replacing you comes up, you should change your bad temper. If you have a falling out, you are really likely to be removed. It is said that Leo is very famous on Wall Street in New York. , I think the board of directors is mostly on his side. "

Tim Cook is giving advice to Jobs, and he is also a little worried about the impact that having another major shareholder will have in the future.

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