People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Before returning to Xiangjiang, Su Cheng had notified the housekeeper at home and asked them to prepare tonight's meal.

Therefore, Su Cheng had a sumptuous dinner soon after returning to the Su family villa.

In the evening, both Guan Jiahui and Zhong Chuhong called him one after another.

Su Cheng went to Japan for a week, and they really missed him very much.

However, Su Cheng had no plans for them to meet for the time being, so he made appointments with them at different times.

After dinner, Wayne called again.

Sioux City had previously asked Wayne to call him around 8:30 to confirm whether he was at home.

After asking Wayne to take Jobs to the Su family villa, Su Cheng watched TV in the living room.

Looking at the time, Wayne called on time.

Although the presidential suite is comfortable to live in, it is more comfortable at home. He has the final say in everything here.

Twenty minutes later, there was the sound of an engine in the parking space in the yard downstairs. Sioux City knew that it was Wayne who was bringing Jobs over.

So Su Cheng got up and went downstairs.

Although Jobs is still a young man with little reputation, Su Cheng knows how great his achievements will be in the future. Such a person is worthy of him going downstairs to meet him in person.

In the parking lot in the front yard, Sioux City met Jobs who had come all the way. Today, Wayne specially drove Jobs over in his private car.

"Hello Mr. Su, I am Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple. I am very happy to meet you." Seeing Su Cheng come down in person, Jobs was a little excited, with a hint of nervousness in his excitement.

After all, although he is now the CEO of Apple, Apple is just a small company that has not been listed on the market. Although it has a certain reputation in the computer industry, it cannot be compared with Sioux City, the world's recognized richest man.

Su Cheng looked at the future legend, stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, smiled and said: "When I visited the beautiful country, I heard the story of your founding of Apple. You are great."

"Thank you Mr. Su for your compliment. I feel very honored. I didn't expect that a small person like me would be lucky enough to be known by Mr. Su." Jobs replied quickly.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud of this.

At this time, Wayne also got out of the car.

"Come on, let's go upstairs to drink tea and chat. I always say it with a smile.

"Okay." Wayne and Jobs said in unison.

The two followed Su Cheng to the living room on the third floor.

Gillian and Amei had already arranged the tea sets in the living room, made tea, and then went back downstairs.

"Does Mr. Jobs drink tea? If not, we also have coffee here." Su Cheng asked Jobs after sitting down.

At the same time, he also looked at the young man in front of him carefully. Steve Jobs, who was born in 1955, is only 24 years old this year.

The young Jobs had long hair, his beard had been shaved off, and he looked a bit gentle.

Wearing a suit, trousers and tie, we can be sure that he pays more attention to dressing and shows his talent.

"Thank you, I can also drink tea. I once practiced in Tianzhu and fell in love with drinking tea there." Jobs said with a smile.

In 1974, at the age of 19, Jobs became obsessed with ways to "enlighten" himself and wanted to explore how he could integrate into the world, so he embarked on a journey to Tianzhu.

While in Tianzhu, he sought enlightenment through meditation, ascetic experience, restraining material desires, and returning to nature. After staying in Tianzhu for seven months, Jobs returned to the beautiful country again and saw the madness of the Western world and the limitations of rational thinking.

So, soon after, he signed a contract with Woz and Jobs' friend Ron Wayne and decided to establish a computer company.

Subsequently, 21-year-old Jobs and 26-year-old Steve Wozniak founded Apple in their garage.

The company's name was set by Steve Jobs as Apple, and their homemade computer was posthumously dubbed the "Apple No. 1" computer.

"I heard that Mr. Jobs's Apple company is currently in trouble, right?" Sioux City asked after pouring a cup of black tea for Jobs and Wayne each.

"Yes, this is why we are seeking cooperation with Oracle Computer Company." Jobs said helplessly.

At this time, he was still too young and did not have the experience of the later Steve Jobs whom Suzhou knew.

Therefore, when encountering this kind of thing, they had no choice but to compromise after discussion.

If Jobs was in his thirties or forties, maybe he could find a way that didn't require compromise.

After the Apple II computer prototype was displayed at the Computer Exhibition, the Apple II computer successfully became a well-known new brand in the United States and even in European and American countries from 1977 to 1978, with sales exceeding ten Thousands of units.

At that time, the three founders of Apple began to prepare for the listing. As long as the sales of Apple computers continued, they believed that with this listing opportunity, they would directly become billionaires and even be able to easily sell Apple. The size of the company increased many times.

However, after the release of Oracle's first-generation computer, it seized a large market share and became a veritable new player in computers. As a result, Apple's computer sales continued to be cut in half. To this day, they can't sell much in a month. tower.

After procrastinating for more than half a year, they tried many methods, but none worked. Finally, they had to contact Oracle Computer Company, hoping to find an opportunity to turn the company around.

Although they had already admitted defeat and agreed to give up 30% of their equity, Jobs did not want to sign a contract with Oracle Computers easily, so he wanted to meet with Sioux City to see if he was really as interested in Apple as he imagined. helpful in the future.

After all, the reason why they agreed to this condition was not only because they were helpless, but more importantly, they wanted to get the help they deserved from Su City.

"I heard that Mr. Jobs has been in Xiangjiang for a few days. What is your impression of Xiangjiang?" Su Cheng asked after drinking a cup of tea.

"This is a city with the best technology atmosphere besides Silicon Valley. I like it very much. In the past few days, I have not only visited Oracle Computer Company, but also visited Tianqiong Semiconductor Company. After communicating with many top engineers, I learned a lot, and this trip was worth it,” Jobs said after thinking about it.

The technology atmosphere in Xiangjiang is indeed very strong now. Influenced by technology companies such as Oracle Computer Company, Tianqiong Semiconductor Company, and Hutchison Telecommunications Company in Sioux City, more and more local businessmen are beginning to try to enter this industry, or Become a supply chain company under the name of Sioux City.

In addition, IBM, HP, Motorola, Intel and other beautiful American technology companies have also opened branches in Hong Kong, resulting in more and more scientific and technological talents here. (End of chapter)
