Vol 6 Chapter 254: Tang Seng Rou

In the American business world, Jobs is crazy, but he is naturally not stupid at all.

He will not really be so arrogant that he can fight against Wall Street, not to mention the leading fund management companies in the world.

He knows very well that if these companies all join forces, how much energy should there be.

The most important thing is that the words Lawrence Fink said before are not at all untenable.

Because of his personal relationship with Feng Yiping, especially the fund that Feng Yiping set up with him, if it is publicized, coupled with the negative impact that Android may have on Apple, if he does not have some decisive response, he will definitely let him I am very passive.

In the board of directors, no one can do anything to him, but what about the general meeting of shareholders?

With the gradual improvement of Apple's situation in recent years, Apple's stock is also a popular option for many individuals and families to invest. As soon as the relevant situation is exaggerated, small and medium investors will be surging, which is definitely predictable.

Apple's stock price has indeed been rising in the past two years, but this does not mean that investors have no objection to them. Everyone knows that Apple has made a lot of profits over the years, but why have you not paid dividends?

This is also because of Jobs. In this regard, his public reason is that "dividends mean that the company has lost its imagination."

This is of course a very official explanation. In fact, Apple has been tight in funds for some time in the past, so that he had to find ways to raise funds, which is one reason why it does not pay dividends.

In his plan, Apple has too many new products to develop, which is one reason.

The most essential reason is that he has never wanted to please investors. You must know that he is really too lazy to please consumers. What kind of needs do you have, I don’t, but I believe you He will definitely buy the products we launched, and he is right here, he really did it!

But when it comes to this matter, people are dissatisfied. Since there are so many profits, why not pay dividends?

He can imagine that there must be many investors who have opinions on him for this reason. If Android is added...

"I want to tell you that the company's board of directors and management team already have the best plan on how to deal with the possible impact of Android," Jobs patiently reiterated, "If you deal with this matter for us The methods and methods are not satisfied, or you doubt our professional ethics in handling this matter,"

He paused, "Then, you can negotiate according to the normal procedures, including complaints to the Securities Commission."

In any case, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to show weakness.

"Or, you can completely sell your Apple shares, since you question our ability to operate and manage, right,"

"I believe that in the years of investing in Apple, Apple has already brought you enough returns."

"Johnson anyway," he didn't want to call the other person by his first name because of his irritation. "I want to reiterate that we don't welcome investors who want to guide us how to run a company."

What annoys him most is that Android hasn't even been released yet, and we don't know what the operating system will be. You just jump out one by one and ask me what to do. Who do you think you are?

"Steve, why is this?" Johnson said quickly, "Hehe, the Apple you founded, the Apple you led, how can Silicon Valley find a second company like this?"

"The board of directors and management team you lead are equally capable. We have no need to question the Apple you lead."

"I said that Lawrence, who is not good at communicating, didn't clearly express our wishes." He stabbed Lawrence again. The opponent should be treated like this.

"Steve, in fact, we are here to ask for your help," Johnson said.

"Help?" Jobs felt a little more peaceful, "But, why can't I see it at all?"

To be honest, what Lawrence said was really problematic, he was more like a threat.

"Steve, don't think too much, trust me, we never mean to unite to put pressure on you," Johnson went on to explain.

Jobs was about to talk about it, "I only know that I just put down Lawrence's call and received your call within a few minutes."

"I'm anxious to explain the misunderstanding caused by Lawrence," Johnson said immediately. "Steve, we are indeed asking for your help."

"You know the recent status of the investment field. We really need some good investment projects too much."

"And you know, those companies under Feng's, whether it is faebook, youtube or nextdoor, are very good investment targets,"

This, Jobs naturally knows that in the entire Silicon Valley, there is indeed no investment worthy of investment than Feng Yiping's several projects, because, as we all know, they all have very good prospects.

The users who have been growing at a high speed, as well as the fast-growing advertising and other revenues that everyone can guess...

This is not the "." concept stocks that existed before the dot-com bubble burst. At this time, the business model was very mature and it seemed that good projects were about to make profits.

But what is even more exciting is that none of them are currently on the market.

Even Jobs knows that investing in a company with bright prospects and a very good company before it goes public will definitely bring the highest return.

He naturally thought that, except for Tesla, Feng Yiping had no intention of accepting foreign investment in other projects. This not only shows that he has strong financial resources, but also shows that he has sufficient confidence in the development of his company.

Everyone knows his superior vision, so he can really understand the coveting of Lawrence and Johnson.

But he still doesn't know, what does this have to do with letting himself take Apple to target Feng Yiping? Do I target him, he is short of money, and he needs to invest?

But he would not ask such a question that he didn't understand, because he knew that Johnson would definitely explain the related reasons next.

Johnson really started to explain, "But you also know that Feng should be a unique entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. He doesn't seem to lack funds for development. Even if he needs it, he only raises funds from banks, but he does not accept investment."

On Wall Street, there are many companies that have a good relationship with Feng Yiping. In order to get the two domestic companies to go public, Feng Yiping accepted investment from several venture capital and Wall Street banks. Later, some mergers and acquisitions and some Wall Street Companies, such as the acquisition of Netflix, established a fairly good friendship with Pioneer Group.

However, neither Heiyan nor Fidelity nor State Street were able to get a piece of the pie. They have always hoped that Feng Yiping's several projects can bring them, but at present, it is really hopeless.

"Frankly, we have been thinking of ways, but there has been no great opportunity until now,"

Jobs said nothing.

I would like to know what kind of good opportunity is now.

"Because of you, Steve, Apple is already a representative of Silicon Valley high-tech companies, a representative of American high-tech companies, and an American brand that is widely loved by consumers around the world."

Jobs once again unceremoniously interrupted Johnson’s compliment~www.wuxiaspot.com~I know this better than anyone else,"

"Hehe," Johnson was annoyed at all, he smiled softly, "That's for sure, because it is because of your outstanding ability that Apple has such an achievement and a reputation."

Jobs was not relieved by Johnson's successive compliments, and he felt the pressure again.

To make an old guy like Johnson so low-profile, it is obvious that their schemes and determination must be great.

"And the owner of Android is Feng. We actually all know that the biggest worry about Feng's booming business in the United States is that he is a Chinese," Johnson said lightly.

The biggest worry... He was a Chinese... When Jobston was like Lawrence, who was scolded by him to doubt his life, he felt his forehead exploded, "teng", and he stood up again.

Although still not quite clear about Johnson's plan, he roughly guessed what they would do next.

His face immediately became cold, but his venting sound became thicker...
