Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 69 The Newly Discovered Market
The next day, Xiangjiang's funds came to the United States.

Lin Baicheng hired a lawyer to sign a financing contract with Goldman Sachs on the same day. Even if the partner of the cooperation is an internationally renowned investment bank like Goldman Sachs, he should be careful. The contract must be carefully reviewed with the assistance of a lawyer.In other words, when it comes to business cooperation, whether you are dealing with any company, you should still be cautious.

After signing the contract, the [-] million U.S. dollars shared by both parties was transferred into an account.

Both sides of this account have passwords, but only a few senior executives know the password of Goldman Sachs, but Goldman Sachs will send staff to monitor the cost price and current price of the futures bought in the account, once it is close to the warehouse line, it will report upwards, and Goldman Sachs will Lin Baicheng will be notified to replenish the margin, otherwise Goldman Sachs will close the position directly to avoid the loss of Goldman Sachs' funds.

Once the funds were obtained, Lin Baicheng asked An Yuan and others to buy gold futures. He had already asked Goldman Sachs to send a trader to guide An Yuan and others how to operate.This matter is very simple. Lin Baicheng's request is to buy gold at the current price without waiting for the price of gold to fall before buying. Therefore, what An Yuan and others have to do is to buy, buy, buy.

If it weren't for Lin Baicheng's lack of trust in Goldman Sachs, and he didn't want to spend an extra fee, in fact, this matter can be left to Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs can easily complete the work.

Another day passed, and Lin Baicheng got good news from Goldman Sachs, and the shareholders of Goldman Sachs and Apple had already negotiated.Apple is valued at US$600 million, and Lin Baicheng acquired a 180% stake in Apple for US$30 million. Half of the money was used to buy the shares held by Mike Markkula, and the other half was invested in the company normally, and the funds were not given to individuals. Yes, the shares of other shareholders are diluted in equal proportion.

Goldman Sachs' commission is only a little over US$100 million. Adding up, Lin Baicheng paid less than US$300 million to obtain 30% of Apple's shares. This price must be too high now, and it is quite outrageously high. .

But Lin Baicheng is very clear that Apple was listed in the 80s and created several billionaires at that time. It can be seen that the market value on the day of listing is likely to exceed 10 billion US dollars.

Lin Baicheng now holds 30% of Apple's shares. Even if the shares need to be reduced proportionally when going public, the remaining 20% ​​should be no problem.And 20% of the shares, based on a market value of 10 billion US dollars, is also 2 million US dollars.

In the investment period of more than two years to about three years, nearly US$500 million has become US$2 million, and the return rate of at least 40 times is already quite high.

What's more, Lin Baicheng will definitely not sell the stock on the day of Apple's listing, at least he will hold it until Jobs leaves Apple, and then judge whether to sell the stock based on the changes in the stock market.

Lin Baicheng took his lawyer and followed Wade Thomas to Apple, signed a share transfer contract with Mike Markkula, Jobs and others, transferred the money after signing the contract, and then reported to the official, Lin Baicheng officially became the major shareholder of Apple up.

Jobs and others knew that Goldman Sachs bought shares in Apple for someone else, but they didn't expect that it would be from Xiangjiang from the East, and they didn't know how the other party knew about their company and was willing to pay such a high price to buy shares in the company.

However, no one will have trouble with money, so Jobs and others are puzzled, but they still welcome Lin Baicheng, a new shareholder.

Jobs, the pioneer of smartphones, is an important person who opened the era of mobile intelligence. Lin Baicheng had only seen photos of the other party on TV news before. At the beginning, he saw the young appearance of the other party but did not recognize him. He did not know until the other party introduced himself. This is the famous Jobs.

In terms of excitement, Lin Baicheng was a little bit, but only a little bit, so he shook hands with Jobs very calmly.

In the communication with Jobs and other Apple executives, Lin Baicheng showed his familiarity with computers to avoid being regarded as a layman.However, in order to avoid disclosing some future technological information, he said very little, for fear that some accidentally disclosed technological developments will be learned.

With the ability of Jobs and others, if Lin Baicheng accidentally reveals something, there is a real possibility that the other party will make it in advance.

Although Lin Baicheng is now a major shareholder of Apple, it does not mean that his interests will be consistent with those of Jobs and others in the future. Maybe they will become rivals in a few years, so we should guard against them.

"Mr. Lin, let me introduce the latest products of our company to you."

Apple's latest product is the Apple 2. Jobs and others introduced the product to Lin Baicheng, the major shareholder, how excellent it is, epoch-making, and inevitable success, etc., to draw a big cake for Lin Baicheng.

The Apple 2 looks like a combination of a black and white TV set and a keyboard. It is three-dimensional. The monitor, the host computer, and the keyboard are superimposed together. It is not small.But just like that, it is still a small personal computer. Compared with IBM's computer, it can be said to be exquisite and small.

"what?"

Lin Baicheng, who was using a computer under the introduction of Jobs and others, found that the current Apple 2 does not even have office software. He was about to ask, but he immediately reacted and put his doubts in his heart.

After leaving Apple, Lin Baicheng asked Eric Davis to investigate the market and found that although computers have been around for many years, and IBM computers have been used in the office field, office software is still in its infancy , There is no real office software on the market at all.

That is to say, as long as Lin Baicheng develops a real office software, with the rise of personal computers, the office software will definitely sell well, so as to follow the trend and make a fortune.

Although Lin Baicheng used to mainly do game development, the technology is the same, not to mention that the development of office software does not require much advanced technology.Of course, this is relative to decades later. For now, it really requires quite sophisticated technology, as well as the thinking concept of developing office software.

Now that he has discovered this market, Lin Baicheng will not turn a blind eye to it, but the development of office software cannot be done by him alone, it will take too long, and he needs help.

More importantly, after the software is developed, there will definitely be a need for maintenance personnel and personnel for developing a more advanced version on the first-generation version, so talents must be recruited.

Lin Baicheng handed over the recruitment to Eric, and at the same time asked him to recruit a few more financial personnel and find suitable bodyguards.

Now Lin Baicheng has become the major shareholder of Apple, and after he becomes the major shareholder of Microsoft, although Lin Baicheng is not prepared to intervene in the operations of these two companies, he will definitely send financial personnel to these two companies to supervise the finances, so as not to cause his Interests were damaged without his knowledge.

As for the bodyguards, it wasn't that Lin Baicheng didn't trust the bodyguards in Xiangjiang, but because they were Chinese, and it was inconvenient for them to be in the United States. They were not suitable to enter on some occasions. It would be different if they were replaced by white and black bodyguards.
