Chapter 83 Interview
At this time, the reporters kept asking questions like machine guns, and the "long guns and short cannons" in their hands kept shooting at Li Zetian!
"May I ask Chronos li, how did you come up with the idea of ​​creating Apple?"

"How much stock do you own in Apple?"

"I heard that Apple is preparing to go public, is it true?"

"..."

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!

Li Zetian looked at the rushing reporters and couldn't help smiling wryly, but this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, and he can't escape.

Li Zetian organized his language, and then said: "I discovered Intel's 8080 microprocessor by chance, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought, I can make a microcomputer! So, I established the Apple company and developed the first generation of personal computer Apple-l. However, during the development process, I encountered many difficulties. First of all, I did not have enough funds to support my development of the Apple-l project. To get investment, I found dozens of venture capital, but none of the companies were willing to invest in me. Just when I was desperate, a company called Umbrella agreed to invest 30 US dollars in me, but asked me to sell 60% of the shares I thought it over and over again, and finally agreed!" Li Zetian originally planned to let Umbrella fully own the shares. He personally didn't take the shares, but he thought it was too fake. A founder didn't have shares in his hands. 40% of the shares.Of course, there are many unobtrusive ways to make your own shares rare, such as setting up a few more overseas offshore companies and transferring them to them, so the shares on the surface will naturally decrease.

When the reporters heard this, they couldn't help but envy Umbrella's good luck. After investing 30 US dollars at the beginning, after one year, the rate of return was as high as hundreds or even thousands of times!This is probably the most exciting venture capital investment in the history of American business! ! !

Undoubtedly, from this moment on, the Umbrella company began to rise to fame!
Li Zetian continued: "The funding problem has been temporarily solved, but the Apple-l project was not all smooth sailing during the development process. After we spent 30 US dollars, we finally made Apple-l. However, we took it to the "Time" magazine. Society, hoping to get their help, but encountered big trouble! Apple-l personal computer has a big BUG, ​​when it was turned on, the computer burned! Oh, my God, this is undoubtedly a big problem for us Devastating blow! We have to find out the BUG of Apple-l and redesign it, but we are at the end of our rope and have no money!!!”

When Li Zetian said this, he stopped on purpose, and looked at the reporters with his eyes, and found that these reporters were all attracted by his half-truth and half-fake stories!

Li Zetian smiled secretly, and then said: "Is Apple going to die? Yes, I really thought so at the time. When I was desperate, it was my fiancée who helped me! She not only stayed by my side to encourage me, but even I gave me all my savings for more than ten years! Although it was only 10 US dollars, it was undoubtedly the last straw for Apple at that time! It can be said that without the support of my fiancée, the I and Apple would not be where I am today!!!”

As he said that, Li Zetian hugged Yu Jingqiu tightly, and kissed her affectionately, not realizing that there was no shame in throwing dog food in front of all the reporters!
Yu Jingqiu's cheeks were slightly red, she looked a little shy, but at the same time she felt extremely happy.

You know, after this interview is over, the video will probably be broadcast all over the United States, or even the world, and all the audience in front of the TV will see Li Zetian kissing her.

The reporters didn't expect that Apple's development process would be so tortuous. It's really not easy!At this moment, everyone looked at Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu embracing each other affectionately, and couldn't help but express their blessings to them, especially for Jingqiu, they all nodded in praise.

"As the saying goes 'behind a successful man there must be a great woman', this is true!!!"

"Yeah, I really envy that Chronos li has such a woman behind her!"

"A man with talent and a woman with good looks are a natural match!"

"That's right!"

"..."

Hearing their voices, Yu Jingqiu's ears turned red.

At this time, Li Zetian let go of Yu Jingqiu's small mouth, turned to look at the reporter, and continued: "Apple-l finally succeeded, became the world's first personal computer, and brought huge income to Apple. Although When my fiancée gave me $10, she didn't say anything, but I took the $10 as financing for Apple, so the board of directors decided to give her 10% of the shares! I think she definitely has the qualifications Get this 10% stake!"

clap clap clap!
The reporters were so moved that they couldn't help applauding!
"As for everyone asking about Apple's listing...Actually, I also have this plan, but the details are kept secret for the time being, so I have no comment!"

The reporter asked: "Chronos li, Wall Street has valued Apple at $10 billion. Do you think this valuation is reasonable?"

"I believe that Apple's market value will be more than US$10 billion!!!" Li Zetian said firmly, then clapped his hands and said loudly, "Okay, everyone, this is the end of today's interview, please don't bother Me and my family! I will not answer any more questions!" Li Zetian said.

Seeing that they could no longer ask any questions, the reporters withdrew one after another.

As soon as the reporter left, the neighbors came again.When the reporters interviewed, they stood at the door and eavesdropped.

The convenience store aunt was shocked. The market value of Apple is 10 billion, and Yu Jingqiu owns 10% of the shares, which is [-] million US dollars. My mother, I didn't expect that Yu Jingqiu, the daughter of the owner of the fast food restaurant next door, is also a billionaire!Oh man, I introduced my own son to her earlier!

When the convenience store aunt thought of this, she felt very embarrassed and didn't dare to look Yu Jingqiu in the eye.Before, she still thought that Yu Jingqiu was hypocritical. Isn't she just more beautiful? What's the big deal? She's not the daughter of the owner of a small fast food restaurant. Her son is a white-collar worker in the company and earns a salary of 1000 US dollars a month.But now it seems that his son's money is not even one ten thousandth of Yu Jingqiu's... let alone Yu Jingqiu's fiancé!

Alas, people are better than people, it makes people mad!
Someone else's child is younger than his own son, but he has become a billionaire. Why is his own son so useless...

The aunt of the convenience store shook her head, and said to herself, it is better for her son to quit his job and start a business than to work for someone else, maybe he can become a billionaire too!

……

On the news program that night, several American TV stations broadcast the video of the interview with Li Zetian this afternoon, which immediately caused a sensation in the United States.

Chen Ruoxi also watched this news interview.After reading it, she yelled like crazy and smashed things. After a while, the whole house was in a mess.

In the end, she sat down on the bed with disheveled hair, stared at the ceiling blankly, and muttered to herself: "Li Zetian actually gave Yu Jingqiu 10% of Apple's shares, which is worth [-] million U.S. dollars! No, that [-] million U.S. dollars It was supposed to be mine, it was mine! Yu Jingqiu stole my [-] million dollars..."

If Chen Ruoxi knew that the 10% of Apple's shares would far exceed 1 million US dollars in the future, even surpassing the market value of Wang An Computer Company, maybe she would go crazy...
