Wall Street Legend

The warrants are protected by law. As long as Ye Dongqing can pay to buy them before the expiration date, those shares will be the property of Danshui Investment Group.

Just over one billion US dollars is definitely not a small amount of money for him. Unless he is stupid enough to sell Facebook shares, it will be difficult to use his own financial resources to absorb them in a short time. Fortunately, Ye Dongqing can continue to play with capital with high interest rates. For lending games, the delivery time ranges from one to three years, which also leaves him with ample preparation period.

Of course, there is no reason for securities companies, fund companies, and investment banks to do good things. Handling fees are definitely inevitable, but they are nothing compared to the benefits.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will choose to acquire these shares of Apple anyway, and will become the well-deserved largest shareholder by then, or one whose shareholding is three times more than that of the second largest shareholder. As mentioned before, It’s true that no one cares about Apple these days. It’s just an old company that doesn’t like paying dividends and doesn’t have much investment potential.

Mr. Steve Jobs, who was later regarded as a god, was at best a guy with a bad temper and average ability. If he hadn't taken a fancy to his bad temper and wanted Apple to be integrated into a force, in the 1990s, The board members would never invite him back to the company. At that time, Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it was completely like a dead horse being used as a live doctor.

From 1997 to now, Apple's market value has almost doubled. This result is barely qualified, but it can't be called very good. I don't know how many people secretly regret not selling Apple's shares earlier and taking the money to invest in Google. Rising stars like that.

As for Amazon, Yahoo, etc., many investors have been stuck at high prices, or have died in the bargain hunting in the past two years. Even if the stock price doubles or triples, they may not be able to get back their original investment. Many people are so disappointed that they just sell it. got them.

From Ye Dongqing's point of view, these things are quite interesting. He has been upset about it once before. It is estimated that the investors who chose to sell will regret it and bang their heads against the wall. However, he has no worries in this regard and has even started to do so recently. He realized his dream of becoming the richest man in the future.

Judging from the current investment goals, it is indeed very possible that ordinary institutions will laugh to death even if they hold one of them for more than ten years, but Ye Dongqing has grabbed several, not to mention Facebook, which he wholly controls. You must know that it is only 2003, and it is still very early to complete the entire layout.

At this moment.

Seeing Mr. Tim Cook boasting about a simple music player, Ye Dongqing felt that it was a good time to sit down with Steve Jobs and tell him some development suggestions, such as the App-Store. If he didn't As a reminder, it may be several years before someone makes similar suggestions to Jobs, which would not be in the interests of his majority shareholder.

Until now, the products launched by Apple are still technically closed, that is, they develop their own products and supply them to their own desktops and computers. This kind of approach is not called closed, it is simply suicide, thus forming a vicious circle - —Few people buy its products, causing money to remain tight, as promotion and innovation are in trouble due to a lack of R\u0026D funds.

Allowing other people to participate is the good medicine Ye Dongqing is prepared to give. Since iTunes can be used on the Windows operating system, he feels that Jobs will probably not reject his suggestion.

After several years of testing, the current predicament has proved that Apple has entered a dead end. The music player iPod may make some money, but it is not enough. As a major shareholder, how can I be happy to see Jobs continue to be blind? toss.

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

All right.

As expected of Steve Jobs, just when Ye Dongqing was looking forward to it, Mr. Cook received a call, embarrassingly telling him that his boss was busy and could not come to receive them today.

As for conveying an apology, it is more like Cook's own intention. He and Jobs belong to the same camp. Recently, there was even news that the development department will be handed over to him for management, as if he is being cultivated as a core management team.

To be honest, Ye Dongqing doesn't like Tim Cook's character very much. Except for an electric car development plan called Titan, which is cool, there aren't many other praiseworthy highlights.

To be fair, the ability is there. The reason why it is not as legendary as Jobs is that there is also a reason for missing a good opportunity. Technology has not achieved breakthrough results, and there is only so much room for development. After the limelight of smartphones was robbed by Jobs, it was very difficult. It is difficult to make consumers feel amazing.

I didn't see him again the second time, but it doesn't matter. I will come to Silicon Valley often in the future, and I will send invitation letters to Danshui Investment Group for shareholder meetings. There will always be a chance to chat with Mr. Jobs in person. He plans to take the time to write a plan and send it to Come here to provide new ideas to get Apple out of its predicament.

There wasn't much to talk about, and I felt that it was almost done. The atmosphere would become awkward if the tour continued, so Ye Dongqing decisively said goodbye.

The visit was not over yet, so he went to the even more boring Netflix company. Boni Ma felt that the trip was worthwhile, while Ye Dongqing fell into the social interaction of politeness. He could not leave him alone until he waited. In the evening, Boni was also treated to a seafood dinner. A large bowl of seafood was put in the bowl and eaten casually. The interests were tied together, so there was no need to be too polite.

Santa Clara is close to San Francisco Bay and has quite a lot of seafood. Pawnee didn’t know how cheap lobsters and king crabs are in the United States. He was frightened by their size and kept saying that it was a waste of money...

"How do you feel? Let's set off tomorrow morning and I'll take you to the Pebble Beach Golf Course to see the scenery?" If you don't plan to continue running around, there is a small circle in Silicon Valley. Ye Dongqing doesn't plan to blend in for the time being. He and the technology group Madmen are different. They are purely businessmen who only focus on money for the time being. Even if they meet, they can't find anything to talk about. It is better to make do with it for the time being. When they are strong enough, they will naturally be accepted by the Silicon Valley group.

"Golf? I don't know how to do that. Thank you for your hospitality today. Let's take a day off tomorrow. The jet lag hasn't returned yet.

I originally wanted to know more about the listing, but now you and MIH Group don't agree, so I don't know what to do. I want to take the opportunity to visit San Francisco and Los Angeles. "

"That's okay. I'll help you keep an eye on the listing. I'll leave two cars for you tomorrow. Just tell the driver where you want to go. I'll come find you after I finish what I'm doing." Ye Dongqing grabbed a big Squid Legs, who really likes this kind of wild buffet seafood restaurant, continued: "Otherwise, I can help you find a tour guide. A Chinese tour guide. If you have any questions, just call me..."
