Vol 5 Chapter 1320: Done

Feng Yiping smiled, is it possible that you can still throw that bottle of water on me?

Oh, this is one of those rare occasions when the always tough Qiao gang leader can take the initiative. How can you be able to take advantage of this rare good opportunity without taking the opportunity to take the initiative?

"Steve, my optical park, when it was put into production, it considered supporting Apple, and I think you and Cook know that our products, whether in terms of quality, price, or supply time, are impressive. To become Apple’s top supplier, isn’t it?"

Seeing Feng Yiping said so, Jobs was not in a hurry.

He understands that Feng Yiping is now talking to him about this, naturally, he does not want to use this opportunity as a threat.

According to his description of the project, if he personally makes an extra $1 billion, how much will he get in return, how much does it need to support Apple to earn?

Did Feng Yi adjust the $1 billion? Of course not bad.

So when he said this, it only shows his confidence in the project he said.

"However, I have personally promoted this project for so long, and it has not yet landed. You know Steve, this has had a lot of impact on my optical park," Feng Yiping said.

Jobs leaned on the sofa comfortably, "Cook is quite satisfied with your inspection of the optical company, but you know our procedures, there are many processes to go,"

"I know that if you are so striving for perfection, the following approvals for the supporting facilities will definitely chase after faults," Feng Yiping said.

Jobs rolled his eyes, then smiled. He unscrewed the mineral water and drank a few sips. "Your product is really good. It's just about the specific price, which may require further discussion."

"I don't care about this," he raised his hand to stop Feng Yiping who wanted to talk.

"Our offer is already very sincere. Of course, I don't care about this," Feng Yiping spread his hands.

"I can also tell you a good news," Jobs paused, and said something, "Cook is very interested in some of your products on the production line, so I think in the future, you will get from Apple To a matching list beyond your imagination,"

"Well, you will know in the future," he said confidently but vaguely.

"Some of our products online?" Feng Yiping asked, pretending to be puzzled.

In fact, he will be very clear, it should not be Cooke interested, but Steve Jobs who said this.

The so-called "some production lines" must be the production lines of Gorilla Glass.

The painstaking arrangements I made many years ago were finally not in vain, and it was finally fast..., oh, fast, and it will take two years before the big harvest comes.

However, this Jobs is really not ordinary self-confidence, you know, his iPhone project, the development prospects of this meeting, should be very uncertain, but he is so sure that he can make it.

Feng Yiping admired his self-confidence and paranoia. At the same time, he also sympathized with the R&D members of the Apple project team.

Based on Jobs’ temperament, in the early stages of research and development, when the functions he envisioned could not find an ideal solution, Feng Yiping believed that there should be more than one project team staff, because of pressure, or Jobs. The bad temper is on the verge of collapse.

No way, this is the daily routine of working with people like Jobs.

"Yes, you will definitely get a matching list beyond your imagination in the future," Jobs said again.

Feng Yiping felt that he should have said this to him, that is, the sales of our smart phone project will definitely exceed imagination.

"Yeah, then I am looking forward to it,"

"You know, why would I deliberately support your hometown industry?" Jobs asked.

Then he replied, "I admire them for their hard work in order to make their lives better. I admire people like them. People must save themselves first, and then others will save them."

"But look at many of our residents, many industrial workers, all of them...," Jobs used some unsightly words here.

"They only complain about not having a job, they have a job, and they think the work is too hard and the income is not high enough, they all want to make big money easily,"

"I think their greatest achievement in the future is to destroy our entire manufacturing industry,"

I don't know what happened to Steve Jobs recently, or it is to compare American workers with Chinese workers, so there are so many strong feelings.

But what he said is really right. American industrial workers have destroyed American manufacturing.

But not only that, American financial professionals are also trying to destroy the American financial industry.

"Okay, can you talk about your plan now? Or do you have to wait until your company becomes Apple's supplier?"

"How come? If you want to talk about the supporting issues, you still raised it on your own initiative," Feng Yiping said.

"But my plan, for some reasons, specific, I can't tell you too much,"

Jobs nodded slightly, and Feng Yiping understood that this did not mean his approval, it was him thinking.

"Roughly speaking, this is the case. I want to set up a $4 billion fund. Of course, it doesn't have to be a fund."

"According to my analysis, this investment should be in 2007. However, considering some other factors, it may be delayed for a period of time to get at least 2 to 3 times the return."

He still said that it was 2007, not 2008, because at the time, judging from the data, the large-scale withdrawal of mortgages for those people in the United States who bought houses with loans should have occurred in 2007, not 2008.

I believe that whether it is Page, Brin, or Jobs, it is possible to look at those materials.

Therefore, if he clearly said that in 2008 this time, it would be difficult to explain by then.

In 2007, it may be postponed for a period of time, which is the best argument.

"But I can't tell you exactly what to do,"

"Done?" Jobs asked.

"Yes," Feng Yiping shrugged.

"That is, you are convinced that this project you are running will get a total of tens of billions of dollars in return in two or more years?"

Feng Yiping took a sip of water and said relaxedly, "Yes, I don't think it is a problem,"

"You, Page and Brin, each invested $1 billion?"

"Yes, so I hope you can do the same," Feng Yiping said, "So the question is, can you trust me,"

"My question is not whether I believe you," Jobs said.

Based on his knowledge of Feng Yiping, he fully believed that Feng Yiping would not make jokes about such things.

"My question is, why did you choose me? I think it is not a problem for any of the three of you to spend another 1 billion dollars."

To say that Jobs is the most normal reaction after hearing Feng Yiping's proposal.

Since this return will be so high, why would you come to me for nothing?

"There are many reasons," Feng Yiping said.

There are indeed many reasons.

First of all, he hopes that after Jobs launches the iPhone in the future, his optical company will always be a stable supplier of Apple.

I hope that after Rubin's Android system is successfully developed, I will not go on the opposite road with Jobs and Apple....

"But it's definitely not looking for you for no reason," Feng Yiping thought for a while, "Let's put it this way, this project can go on smoothly in the end, and we can get the rewards smoothly. We also rely on your influence in the business world. And people of fame,"

"Of course, you can rest assured that the operation of our project is absolutely legal," Feng Yiping first assured.

"It's just that you can imagine, and know better than me, what some people will do in the face of hundreds of millions of billions of expenditures,"

"And as you know, I'm still a Chinese. In many cases, this is the best point to make an essay."

What he didn’t say was that under the big environment like 2008, when the entire American economy was about to collapse, if he didn’t get a vote of such a strong person to be his teammate, then those on Wall Street would be happy to find out. , There was a person who came to the door and asked them to divert the anger of the American people.

They will say, not because of us, but because of Feng Yiping, because of China.

Feng Yiping knows that such a routine is still quite effective in the United States.

More importantly, we all know that the United States, which has always liked to label other countries "rogue", is actually the most rogue country in the world.

They bombed our embassy in Yugoslavia, and they can all say they used outdated maps.

But in the United States, it is not only the government that is rogue, but also many companies.

If there are no such strong people as teammates, even if Feng Yiping has a good relationship with Wall Street now, even those people on Wall Street are most concerned about the spirit of contract, but when the day comes, they will have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, or billions. When it comes to the US dollar, all means are really used.

For example, they might say that the staff who signed the agreement with you have resigned, and we cannot find your agreement now.

How is it possible, even if the handler is not there, you should definitely keep such an important agreement.

Sorry, the warehouse where the important information is kept caught fire.

Then in your server, there must be some retention.

Sorry, our server also crashed...

At that time, even if Feng Yiping was well-known in the United States and the world, he shouldn't expect Wall Street to obediently give him the money that should be given to him.

But it's different to let Jobs, Page and Brin go ahead.

Against Apple and Google, do you have a try?

"I understand a bit," Jobs nodded seriously this time.

That said, it makes sense.

It's just that Jobs is Jobs, so he asked another question, "Even so, I think, such a candidate is not the only one like me, for example, the Bill in Seattle,"

Feng Yiping didn't think that it would be better if Bill Gates was brought in.

However, for such things, Bill Gates will definitely consult his good friend Buffett.

Then, next, this matter may not be led by himself, and this is what he does not want to see.

He can't turn himself into giving favor to Buffett.

"You still don't know this. Although I have a good relationship with Bill, how can I compare with you?" Feng Yiping said first.

"Furthermore, comparing the current Microsoft and Apple, I am more admire that under your leadership, you continue to introduce new apples, instead of always lying on your own old books, and launching several new ones every year. Microsoft ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Hey," Jobs was so happy to say that, he almost grinned behind his ears.

"About funding?" he asked.

"I am going to start this project at the end of this year, at the latest in the first quarter of next year,"

In fact, the main reason why he raised this question now was mainly because of Jobs.

Unlike the three of them, $1 billion in funding is not a small sum for Jobs now.

Back then, as the founder, Jobs once held up to 11% of Apple’s shares. However, after being driven out of the company he founded by Apple’s board of directors in 1985, he was furious and only retained one share of Apple’s stock. It’s all clean.

He currently has few Apple stocks, only a few million shares, which he got when he returned to Apple as CEO in 1997.

Otherwise, he would later surpass his old rival Bill Gates in terms of financial resources.

Although he sold Apple's stock at the beginning, and Apple later bought Next\Software, which he founded after leaving Apple, for $400 million, he is still not an ordinary rich person.

However, Feng Yiping believes that if he wants to spend 1 billion US dollars, he may use his other important asset, Pixar's equity to raise funds.

Feng Yiping mentioned this question at this time, just to take care of Jobs.

However, he can't let him know this.

People like Jobs are undoubtedly sensitive. If he realizes that Feng Yiping is doing this to take care of him, then he will certainly not appreciate it.

So Feng Yiping followed up and said, "Of course, it is also possible in advance. Therefore, I hope that our funds can be prepared years ago."

"Years ago? It should be okay," Jobs held out his hand, "Then, I will join."
