Vol 6 Chapter 172: The way of giving gifts
The three people sat down outside in a cafe in Palo Alto, just like the casually enjoying the weekend nearby.
The street trees on the roadside sprinkle a little bit of shade for the outdoor tables, the side tables, the benches near the roadside, or the young people who simply sit on the road steps, all exchange their eyes, One side looked at their table with bright eyes.
But no one leaned in.
It's not that these people also knew about Jobs' bad temper, but as soon as the three of them sat down, the head of the cafe came out and emptied the tables around them.
Now it seems that the business of this cafe is really bad. There are so many tables outside, only one table, and there are three people sitting alone.
Those who wanted to have an autograph in the past, or those who took a photo together, saw this scene, and they all consciously gave up the idea.
Not long after, reporters from two media hurried over, but they only took pictures from a distance with their cameras.
The most daring is a child who is still sitting in the stroller, pointing to that side, babbling and talking to his mother, looking like he wants to go there.
However, she didn't know who the three guys were. She should just think that the cake on one of the plates looked very attractive.
"Steve, we both think, should I give Feng a gift?" Page called his name.
"Should be sent," Jobs heard this without any hesitation.
Although it is not yet time to harvest, judging from the current situation, their investment will get at least twice the income, that is, 1 billion US dollars, at least 3 billion US dollars, there will be no problem.
And this should be the net income after removing all expenses.
His net worth increased by at least US$2 billion. Not to mention Jobs, who was not very affluent, even the wealthiest such as Page and Brin could not remain indifferent.
Considering that this opportunity was provided by Feng Yiping, his team was responsible for the specific operation, and he personally shared the income with everyone and gave him a gift as a token of gratitude.
It is also appropriate to prepare gifts now. After all the dust settles, and then decide what gifts to give, it is naturally the most economical, but that would seem too petty.
When Feng Yiping offered them such a rare opportunity, he didn't mention any conditions.
The three of them are not only big figures who are also highly regarded by the people. Speaking of which, they are all a lot older than Feng Yiping, so it's hard to be less generous than him.
To save others by self, Feng Yiping treats them as his own people, as his confidant, and they must have a corresponding attitude.
"Just, what's a good gift?"
Although in American proverbs, there is the same saying that politeness is less affectionate, but in the face of such a large income, giving gifts is too light, and it is obviously not justified.
car?
This is a good choice for others, but for Feng Yiping, there is something wrong. They all know that Feng Yiping just doesn't like those supercars.
In view of the fact that Tesla's first car road test is imminent, if there is no accident, Feng Yiping will choose Tesla when he comes in and out. Therefore, it is not appropriate to send the car.
house? It’s expensive, but Feng Yiping doesn’t lack a house. Moreover, things like a house are different from other gifts because they are not easy to resell. Therefore, if you want to give it, you must give it what Feng Yiping likes, but they know what Feng Yiping likes. It’s not easy to find a suitable house for a while.
Regarding the profit this time, it makes sense to send him a plane, but Feng Yiping is not uncommon for this stuff.
So, what should I give? Jobs was rare and undecided.
Brin put down the cake, "Steve, Peppa and I think it's good to give Feng a yacht, what do you think?"
"Yacht?" Jobs' eyes lit up, "I think it's good."
In the wealthy circles in the United States, including Silicon Valley, although there are not many high-profile guys like Jobs’ neighbor, Oracle’s Ellison, but everyone is actually a variety of comparisons.
They are usually the same, such as manor houses, private jets, yachts... and young and beautiful little girlfriends.
For the first three things, even the three of them can't be avoided, and it happens that Feng Yiping doesn't own a yacht.
Obviously, Feng Yiping can also use this thing. You know that he has rented a yacht for many times over the past two years.
"Steve, the reason why we discussed with you, we have another idea," Page said.
"What?" Jobs asked.
"We all know that Feng has always liked the Apple products you designed, so we thought that if Feng's yacht was designed by you, he would be very satisfied," said Page.
"No problem at all," Jobs said immediately.
As a genius designer, he naturally also has cross-border ideas. Large items like yachts are a challenge for him, and he likes challenges.
At this moment, there are already many plans in his mind. It must be the silver that Apple is used to, it must have the kind of glass in the Apple store, and there must be many imacs... "I suddenly felt , I can also design one for myself by the way,"
Don’t talk about the house, let’s talk about the plane. It turns out that he has one. After Apple invited him back as a savior in 1997, it soon rewarded him with a Gulfstream worth more than 40 million dollars—the one he uses now. The aircraft with the tail number n2n.
But he doesn't have a yacht, that is, the kind of big yacht that a group of big men can come up with without losing face.
Considering that this time, he can easily earn at least 2 billion yuan. He feels that he can take out a tenth and play a game for himself.
"Haha, I have this idea too," Brin said immediately.
"I also want to have one, but I still tend to buy an old boat to remodel," Page said.
The old plane was used to rebuild, and the yacht also wanted to use the old to rebuild. I have to say that in some respects, Page is really even better than Feng Yiping.
"It's just right. We can renovate together at that time," Brin said. "I think Schmidt can also be brought in."
What he meant by this was not that Schmidt could not be forgotten, but if Schmidt was added, a total of four new yachts, plus an old yacht renovation, they would be more confident when they bargained with the yacht company.
"This is okay," Peppa sealed it immediately after hearing it, "but you two, do you know what I'm thinking about?"
Looking at the smile on his face, Jobs always felt that what he was thinking about now should be related to Feng Yiping. Over there, Brin had already asked, "What are you thinking about now? We will then form a fleet to travel the world. ?"
He can be said to be the most romantic of the three people present.
"I think if Feng is here now," Peppa said, "then he will definitely roll up his sleeves, ‘in that case, why don’t we just buy a yacht company?’"
"Haha," Jobs and Brin also laughed immediately.
This is indeed Feng Yiping's style.
Brin thought immediately, "Can we really do this? Now, it's a rare good time."
"Look, considering the current trend of the overall environment, the funds of many companies will become more and more tense in the future. At the same time, it is also certain that there will be many users who have previously ordered private jets and yachts. The order was cancelled due to payment difficulties..."
"In any case, in the next economic downturn and the stock market downturn, many people’s wealth will shrink. Those yacht companies will definitely have a hard time, and if we add five yachts together, we can completely make a family. The yacht company lasts at least a year,"
"We choose a suitable acquisition. One or two years later, our yacht will be delivered, and the environment should also be better at that time. Even if we don't want to continue operating, we can sell it at a good price."
Page was also a little moved, "With the bonus of the yacht designed by Jobs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If you want to sell it, you can naturally sell it at a good price."
"Steve, what do you think?"
Of course, Jobs can calculate this account clearly. His own yacht company produces yachts for himself, and the price will naturally be more affordable. Later, he will make a fortune. After doing the calculation, he will earn at least half to one boat inside and outside. Yacht.
That's not a small amount of money, and it would cost more than 100 million US dollars.
The greater advantage is that because it is his own yacht company, some of his ideas can be better implemented.
After all, the yacht company’s team is not Apple’s team. If you scold a lot, they can just not wait.
"I think it can be considered, and find someone to pay attention to the news in this regard now," he said.
"That's it?" Peppa said, "but when it comes to the acquisition, we still have to bring in Feng."
"Of course," "That's natural," all three of them laughed. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
