Vol 6 Chapter 30: ready

Even confronting Wall Street and American financial institutions made them feel very exciting.

It is really hard to say that these guys in Silicon Valley, especially the founders of companies, have a good impression on Wall Street in the west, the VCs on Dune Road, or the real Wall Street.

Not to mention various opportunities to be plucked by Wall Street geese, such as when it was listed.

Just say that from the day they founded their own business, the two Wall Streets will not stop infiltrating them.

Or for some entrepreneurs, they feel that this will be an honor and opportunity. The company they founded can be appreciated by Wall Street. To a certain extent, it represents success, because it represents the affirmation of those Wall Street guys. Therefore, this is also an opportunity to cash out.

But for most entrepreneurs who are interested in starting a business, the example of Yahoo is enough to alert them.

Yahoo, which was originally a trademark in the Internet field, has become more and more unbearable over the past two years. It is driven entirely by profits and only focuses on short-term benefits. As a result, Yahoo’s performance in the past two years has not been as good as before.

The important thing is that in such a situation, there is no possibility of reversal.

If you consider some of the traditions in the short history of the United States, that is, the traditional elite class in the east, and the original local turtles in the west, they don’t look at each other. In addition, the elites of Silicon Valley have inherently possessed them. The rebellious spirit...

Whether it is for Jobs or for Page and Brin, such an opportunity is simply great.

It could only be that you had all kinds of ways and channels to sway us, now, hum, finally have the opportunity to let you kneel on the ground to sing and conquer.

It’s been a long time to finally wait until today. After a long time in the dream, I finally have a chance to realize the dream, so they really feel that it is very exciting!

Feng Yiping felt their emotions, which is good!

"So, what are the risks of this investment?" Jobs asked.

The phone in his pocket vibrated again.

This time, he didn’t even look at it, so he turned it off immediately. Although he was already using an iPhone, what he brought today was not. Before that, the only person who had the opportunity to see him show the real phone was the operator’s new grid. Le’s president.

Opportunity is a good opportunity, optimism is optimism, but he is still very cautious.

Without it, I was too impulsive when I was young to sell Apple's shares until only one share is left. Therefore, my current net worth is not only inferior to Bill Gates's tasteless guy, but also the three younger generations in front of me. There is no comparison, this one billion dollar investment must be cautious.

"After all, it is the risk of finally fulfilling our contract. One is that some banks may be unwilling to fulfill the original contract, and the other, some banks, may go bankrupt."

"But you can rest assured, based on the current situation, our problem, at most, is the problem of earning several times."

That is at least there will be a profit, that's good!

"How did Wall Street get to where it is today?" Page asked.

In any case, the financial field is a field that the entire United States is proud of. It is the traditional U.S. elite field, but now it seems that there are such big problems in this field.

"There are too many reasons, but the most important thing is greed, greed out of reality,"

"We develop a product based on the actual needs of users. After it is developed, we will also consider the user's feelings and continue to make various adjustments with users as the center."

"But they have only one purpose, which is to increase their performance, because only by increasing their performance, those banks can get more commissions, and they can earn more commissions,"

"But what is the basis for them to grow bigger, they don't care at all,"

"For an analogy, their foundation may be like this,"

"I gambled against Peppa at a casino in Las Vegas. Peppa had been winning before, so this time, he squeezed 10 million. Then Brin felt that Peppa would still win, but Jobs, you Feeling that it should be my turn to win, so you bet with him, 50 million, buy me to win, the odds are three to one."

"Then, Gates, who had been watching the excitement by the side, jumped out. He pressed 100 million and bet that Brin could win the game between you two."

"Well, he would do it," Jobs interjected.

Although it is true, it sounds funny to Feng Yiping and the others.

These two masters have been doing this for years, just like the East and West of the United States, they always can't understand each other.

Feng Yiping smiled, "Let's continue the cycle. In the end, the gambling game related to this gambling game can easily roll to several billions like a snowball, but its foundation is nothing but me and Peppa. It’s just a gambling game worth 10 million,"

"That's it," Jobs nodded.

"So, Wall Street, has always been really playing a number game?" Page said.

Feng Yiping spread his hands again.

Isn't that the case, but they play so big and the income is so high, there are too many people in this world, and they still worry that Wall Street will not let them play.

However, although the reflex arc is relatively long, this kind of game, which is similar to drumming and passing flowers, always has the time when the drum stops. At that time, it is not fun.

It's just that everything has nothing to do with them.

"Such a large-scale financial crisis," Jobs was playing with the water glass again, but it was a lot easier than when he first started.

"You know a lot about this, Feng, what do you think will be the consequences when the crisis breaks out? Oh, no, do you think, in order to remain unaffected in this crisis, what preparations should we make?"

This was the first time Jobs felt that even asking the right question was not easy.

When investing in other projects, there will not be such a situation, because they can consult their own financial advisers, but this time, because Feng Yiping repeatedly emphasized that they will keep their financial advisers strictly confidential.

"This is also the reason why I called everyone here today. For a company, in such a crisis, it is natural that the cash in hand is the most secure,"

"Of course I believe that with the launch of the iPhone in a few days and the subsequent launch of the iPhone, Jobs, this epoch-making product that you have developed for such a long time, will surely be able to bring to Apple even in the financial crisis. Come billowing cash flow,"

"Hehe," Jobs smiled.

It is both self-confidence and confidentiality that he has become a habit. Even if he is also himself, he has explained to Feng Yiping and the others that they are developing the iPhone, and let Google and Facebook develop supporting software for the iPhone. It is the optics of Feng Yiping. Industrial Park, develop ideal glass panels for iPhone.

"Where are we?" Page asked.

"For Google, from now on, we have to decide our mergers and acquisitions more carefully," Feng Yiping said.

For Google, whose income and stock price have been rising, they have spent no less in the past two years.

According to the information received by Feng Yiping, there are already five acquisition projects under discussion, and because of some of them, competitors such as Microsoft and Yahoo have been sued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

"That is, keep more cash in your hands," Page said immediately.

"Correct,"

"But it's not that we don't buy. Projects that help increase our income, that is, projects that can promote our online advertising, still need to be acquired," Feng Yiping said.

Under such a general situation, cutting expenditure is naturally inevitable, but increasing income is equally important.

And Google, the current revenue, mainly depends on advertising.

It seemed that all the problems were solved. Feng Yiping asked them with a smile, "So, can we serve food?"

"Come on, starving to death," Brin said.

"Come on," Jobs said, "We have to toast you,"

Let Jobs say toast, such an opportunity is really rare.

Feng Yiping gave an order, and then, like them, turned on the phone, read text messages, and listened to messages.

"By the way, Steve, how is the preparation for the conference?" Page asked casually.

"Well," Steve Jobs, who was also looking at his mobile phone, answered casually. After realizing Page's problem, he frowned, "Can you let me finish this lunch easily?"

Feng Yiping and the others couldn't help but want to laugh.

Judging from his reaction, Apple's current preparations for this crucial press conference can be said to be unquestionable.

It’s just that it’s impossible for him to tell him about the problems he is currently facing. He naturally wouldn’t tell Feng Yiping and the others that even though there are only the last few days left, there is no chance of iPhone problems during their rehearsal. Is 0.

"I believe that there must be no problems on the day of the press conference," Feng Yiping said.

But it's not true that there will be no problems, and he doesn't know, because the original he has not paid attention to this crucial press conference of Apple.

"Well, there will never be a problem," Jobs said.

He can't accept the possibility of any problems in this press conference.

"Just, are you sure, you won't be on stage to introduce Facebook?"

How much attention will be paid to this announcement can be seen from who Steve Jobs brought to the platform.

Not only are the presidents of the operator Single, Chief Yang and Schmidt, who are cooperating with them, will also speak at the press conference.

This is naturally to cheer for Apple, but it is also an opportunity to promote its own products.

As the founder of Facebook and the entrepreneurial idol of the youth of the world, Jobs hopes that Feng Yiping can also speak on stage.

"I won't be on stage," Feng Yiping said with a smile, "This is the most important press conference for you and Apple. If two Chinese faces appear on the stage, I am worried that it will cause bad effects on your products. influences,"

Was this the reason?

Jobs was shocked, "Feng, although this is not a glorious thing, but your worries do make sense,"

If one after another Chinese people appear at an important press conference like Apple, it may indeed have a bad effect.

What's more, because it has not negotiated with Chinese operators, Apple's first-generation iPhone has been determined not to enter the country.

One condition of the cooperation between Apple and Singele is that Singele will subsidize Apple by 10 dollars for each iPhone.

But for the telecommunications company of my great celestial dynasty, if I help you sell mobile phones, I have to subsidize you? What a joke?

This is also one of the reasons why many people in China have to spend high prices to buy parallel cargo planes from Hong Kong.

Page patted Feng Yiping, and Brin also patted Feng Yiping, as if he was apologizing.

No matter how loud it is, but in the United States, racial discrimination, especially discrimination against Asians, is objective ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Jobs took a sip of soup and said, "Or, I will let Yahoo change someone. , Let Fero or Semel come?"

Of the two he mentioned, one is the other founder of Yahoo, that is, the other chief, David Filo.

Semel, on the other hand, is the president of Yahoo, and he is all qualified to take the stage.

Feng Yiping said quickly, "It's really unnecessary,"

The reason why he did not come to power was not only to reduce the possible adverse impact on Apple, but also to downplay the fact that Facebook was founded by himself.

"Zuckerberg, will complete this task perfectly, I believe you will like him too,"

Because Feng Yipingyuan has just read some articles in this area.

Maybe it was because Jobs and Zuckerberg were both literary and artistic youths. Maybe it was because they were both good at subtraction. Afterwards, the Silicon Valley person Jobs admired most was Zuckerberg.

Of course, Feng Yiping estimates that Jobs is also dissatisfied with Google. Who made Google launch Android at that time?

So he showed appreciation for the founder of Google's biggest rival.

"Really?" Jobs asked.

"Yes, he also admires you very much," Feng Yiping said.

This is not true.

Although Jobs later stated on many occasions that the Silicon Valley person he admired most was Zuckerberg, but Zuckerberg said that he most hopes to become a person like Bill Gates.

This is another version. He likes him, but the person he likes, what he likes most, is the sad story of his opponent.

When Jobs was already a big hit for the press conference, it's better not to talk about such troubles.

"Respect for our investment," Feng Yiping raised his glass.

"Jing Feng," Jobs said.
