The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 652 Apple goes public
On Christmas Eve, Xu Guanwu spent it with Deng Lijun, Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and his two sons and daughters. They watched the concert held by the TV station and watched the live broadcast of the fireworks in the Los Angeles Government Plaza.

A beautiful Christmas tree is poked in the living room, the tree is covered with various decorations, and there are large and small gift boxes placed under the tree.

Xu Guanwu sat between Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia, and Deng Lijun sat next to him. After thinking about it, he felt that he had no regrets in this life.Money was earned, his wife was married, and children were born. It was so perfect.

"Ah Wu, there is a Christmas party in Hollywood tonight, why don't you want to go?" Zhao Yazhi asked while watching TV.

"What are you going to, it's just a bunch of people chatting, why not just sit at home and watch TV quietly?" Xu Guanwu waved his hands.

"However, if you don't participate in these activities, how can you show your identity?" Zhao Yazhi asked, "People say that riches and honors do not return to their hometowns, such as traveling at night in brocade clothes. You are like this now. You are clearly famous, but you insist on doing it every day. Stay at home. In fact, you should come out and do something, so that everyone can see you, how beautiful it is."

"Doing things with a high profile and being a low-key person is the kingly way." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "No matter what others say, it is serious to earn money."

"Old-fashioned!" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but blamed him when she heard him say that.

Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun couldn't help laughing when they heard their conversation.

……

Christmas Eve passed quickly, and early the next morning, everyone was ready to unwrap presents.

"Ah Wu, Merry Christmas! This is a gift from me, guess what it is?" Zhao Yazhi smiled and handed a square gift box to Xu Guanwudao.

Xu Guanwu took it and weighed it, but it didn't count how heavy it was.After shaking, but there was no sound, he couldn't help smiling, "It should be a piece of clothing, right?"

Zhao Yazhi shook her head, "No, open it and have a look."

Xu Guanwu smiled and opened the gift, but saw an antique copybook, which made his eyes shine.

"I specially bought this for you from Chinatown. I heard it's an antique." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help being very moved. Zhao Yazhi knew that he was practicing calligraphy, so she gave him this ancient copybook, which is really great.

"Honey, what kind of gift did you give me?" Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu smiled and took a small gift box.This gift box was much smaller than the one just now, but Zhao Yazhi didn't underestimate it. After taking it, she shook it carefully, and heard a small sound inside.

"Wow, is it jewelry?!" Zhao Yazhi smiled happily.

"Hey, how did you guess so accurately?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help asking in surprise.

"You only know how to buy jewelry." Zhao Yazhi smiled, opened the gift box to look at it, and saw a very beautiful diamond necklace in it, shining brightly, gorgeous and charming, Zhao Yazhi couldn't put it down, "Wow, beautiful."

"Wow, Ah Zhi, your diamond necklace is so beautiful, it costs at least twenty to thirty thousand dollars." Deng Lijun said enviously, "Ah Wu, you are really willing to spend money."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "You also have a gift, here it is!" As he said, he also gave a small gift box to Deng Li Jundao.

Deng Lijun took the gift box curiously, opened it, and saw that it was a little doll inlaid with various gemstones, which looked beautiful and delicate.

"Wow, your gift is too expensive, I can't bear it." Deng Lijun couldn't help but said in surprise.

"Don't say that, the most important thing is to give gifts to friends." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Deng Lijun smiled, "Then this is my gift, don't think it's shabby."

Xu Guanwu nodded, took it over and opened it, but it was a Parker gold pen.

"Oh?! Very beautiful." Xu Guanwu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again.

"I was too anxious at the time, so I didn't choose well. I'm sorry, I will give you another gift later." Seeing that Xu Guanwu was not very excited, Deng Lijun couldn't help but said apologetically.

"No, no, this gold pen is very good, I like it very much." Xu Guanwu hastily persuaded.

"Ah Wu, come and guess what gift I gave you." Lin Qingxia said holding up a box.

Xu Guanwu nodded, and then also handed Lin Qingxia a box.

The two shouted "one, two, three..." and then opened them together. Lin Qingxia gave a commemorative Omega watch as a gift, and Xu Guanwu gave Lin Qingxia a diamond-encrusted bracelet. As beautiful as a necklace.

"Wow, so beautiful." After Lin Qingxia put on the bracelet, her skin became more and more fair, and she couldn't help but said happily.

As for the gifts chosen for the two babies, Zhao Yazhi got two beautiful children's clothes, Lin Qingxia got two children's books, and Deng Lijun got two children's toys.

But Xu Guanwu took out two small boxes, Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi took them over, and couldn't help sinking their hands, "What's inside, why is it so heavy?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

"Open it and have a look, then you will know." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

The two opened it suspiciously, and couldn't help being stunned.Deng Lijun came over to take a look, but saw two gold bricks inside.

"Wow, you really don't know how to educate children, don't you teach them to worship money at such a young age?" Deng Lijun couldn't help but said.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Gold can preserve its value. Even if it takes more than ten years to wait for the children to grow up, gold will not be much cheaper. Moreover, this gold is not easy to spend, so how can they manage their money. Of course, if When they are older, I will give them stocks so that they can learn how to manage money and make money."

"God, it's really unlucky for a child to follow you." Deng Lijun said depressingly, "It's so small, it smells like copper."

"There will always be someone to take over my career in the future. Of course, if they don't want to pursue other lives, I won't stop them at all." Xu Guanwu explained.

"I don't think it's harmful for children to learn about financial management in elementary school. On the contrary, if they don't understand anything, they may be bullied when they grow up." Lin Qingxia is supportive.As for Zhao Yazhi, she agreed so much that she could no longer agree.

After distributing the presents, everyone happily took Xiao Sichen and Xiao Simo to Disneyland to play. They played for a whole day, but the two children didn't have much fun, but the three women played like crazy.

……

After Christmas, New Year's Day came immediately. On this day, Apple Computer's stock was officially listed on NASDAQ, with a total of 460 million new shares issued at an issue price of 200 US dollars per share.Because Xu Guanwu owned 49 million shares of Apple Computer, he made a profit of 5000 million U.S. dollars as soon as he went public.Counting the previous sale of [-] shares, Xu Guanwu made a net profit of US$[-] million.

After Apple Computer's stock was listed, it won and snatched it up, and the stock price rose rapidly, almost doubling within a day, which can be called a monster stock!

But Xu Guanwu knew that even if the stock price soared to $80 a share, it was still worth investing in.Because the future 300s is controlled by Apple Computer, and the sales of personal computers produced by it are at least [-] million units.It was the well-deserved leader in personal computers at the time.

In addition to the huge wealth earned by the listing of Apple Computer, two games such as Minesweeper and Magic Cube, as well as VISICALC chalk gray spreadsheet software, mouse and other licensing fees also earned Xu Guanwu a huge fortune.

The business strategy adopted by Xu Guanwu is also the "small profit but quick turnover" strategy used by Bill Gates before. It looks like a game is only ten dollars, but the number of releases can also be exchanged for extremely high income.The same is true for licensing of chalk gray spreadsheet software, and mouse and so on.

According to the data given by angel investment fund manager Paul, for every 3000 units of Apple III sold, Xu Guanwu can earn 100 million US dollars in income, and if [-] million units are sold, he can earn one billion US dollars in income.The more you sell and the more influential you are, the more money you make.

In addition, MYWORD developed by Microsoft is installed in the MAC OS system. The application of this software is also quite convenient. In the same way, it is convenient for users to use this software to print documents.

And this office software is also licensed to Apple. Every time an Apple computer is sold, Microsoft can earn fifty dollars from it. Xu Guanwu, who is a major shareholder of Microsoft, can also profit from it.

In short, Apple Computer's successful release of the latest computer and operating system, as well as its successful listing on Nasdaq, have brought huge profits to Xu Guanwu.

However, what Xu Guanwu is happy about is not how much money has been added to his account, but because he is happy to see that his impact on the world is gradually increasing.In the past, only Hong Kong was influenced by me, followed by Hollywood in the United States. Now Xu Guanwu influences the world by influencing Silicon Valley.

Many start-up companies in Silicon Valley now accept funding from the Stanley Angel Investment Fund. They either pay part of the stock, or sell technology and inventions to it, or directly incorporate it into the laboratory.Now every day, the laboratories under the Angel Investment Fund have new results, and they have applied for more than 3000 patents alone. Even in Silicon Valley, a place where patent inventions are flying everywhere, there are more than 3000 patents within two years of its establishment. It is also really surprising.

And under the guidance of Xu Guanwu, the patents registered by angel investment funds are often very important patents, such as the mouse, such as databases, such as video compression, such as music compression, such as Ethernet... These are all related to the future development of personal computers Now Xu Guanwu has already landed in advance, and the flag has been planted to delineate the sphere of influence.In the future, if other companies want to develop this area, they must obtain his authorization.Otherwise he could sue them with the big stick of patent rights.

In the future, science and technology will become more and more developed, and patents will be more and more valued. Xu Guanwu remembers reading a report before, saying that because several major foreign manufacturers have monopolized DVD patents, they levied high patent fees on domestic DVD manufacturers, making them Simply can't afford it.

And companies like Apple, Samsung, Nokia, etc. are fighting lawsuits every day for some patents, so as to block the products of their opponents and prevent their products from entering the United States.The frequent occurrence of such patent litigation cases also indirectly proves the importance of patents.Xu Guanwu has now registered so many patents. In the future, he can rely on these patents to make money, and he can also rely on them to attack his opponents.

Apple Computer then held its first board meeting, and the people who snapped up the 460 million shares were all from some big consortiums. The power of being together cannot be underestimated.

Xu Guanwu appointed Paul as his representative, and the only request he gave him was to support Jobs and Wozniak, and ignore the investors on Wall Street.Xu Guanwu has never been very interested in those people on Wall Street, because he knows that these people are jealous and greedy. They are called the wolf of Wall Street. Their favorite thing is to chase fame and fortune.

The subprime mortgage crisis in the new century was caused by the wolf of Wall Street. Xu Guanwu, who was killed in the past, almost lost his job because of it, so now he doesn't like those people at all.
