Vol 2 Chapter 1494: Joe's unexpected request

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao said that this old proverb is not only applicable to Chinese people.

Xiao Qi only counted on the leader of Qiao, and Qiao was also softened, and then Xiao Qi received a call from Qiao.

"what?"

Xiao Qi got up in surprise, put down his chopsticks, and walked to the balcony.

Originally, the boy was having dinner with his two sweet wives, but now he has to concentrate on the call.

Not only because it was the leader of Qiao’s gang who called, but also because of what he said.

Qiao’s gang called Xiao Qi to borrow money, the purpose of which was to buy Apple’s shares.

After being kicked out of Apple a few years ago, Joe’s gang sold almost all of his shares in a rage, leaving only one share for receiving Apple’s annual report.

Now that Qiao’s leader returns to Apple, the number of shares awarded by the board of directors is still not much, about 5.5 million shares, and the proportion of shares is 0.59% at most.

Originally, Qiao's gang leader felt that his health was not very good, so he just focused on developing Apple, and did not pay attention to his income from Apple.

But now Apple is getting better and better with its products, and Qiao's body is getting better and better under the care of two Chinese doctors in China, so he has begun to pay attention to his own interests.

Regardless of how Qiao’s leader returned to Apple, his annual salary was only $1, but Apple’s board of directors promised to give him equity incentives.

But now, these equity incentives have not been honored, which made the Qiao gang master very angry, and remembered the evil deeds of these guys that drove him out of Apple.

Since you refuse to give it to me, then I will take it myself!

This idea came up in the heart of Gang Master Qiao.

Of course, his "take it by oneself" is not to obtain it by illegal means, but to prepare himself to buy Apple's shares and increase his own shareholding and right to speak.

Speaking of Apple's stock, it is definitely the most weird stock on the planet.

Not because of how valuable its stock is. How popular it is, but because of its performance, which is very, very weird, completely different from the performance of ordinary company stocks.

For example, when it was launched in 2001, Apple's stock price plummeted by more than 40% within a year after the launch. This is still based on triggering a sales frenzy! !

In the previous life of 2008, from the gradual exertion in 2007, it went directly to the realm of super hegemony that swept the world. As a result, at the beginning of 2008, when the sun was in full swing, within 40 days. Apple's stock price has plummeted by nearly 40%.

Even when the IPAD was born, Apple’s stock price dropped by 12% in the three months from June to August that year. I really don’t know the reason for the curse!

This is the most important reason why Qiao's gang suggested Xiao Qi to buy Apple stocks, or exchange Apple stocks for app store stocks, but Xiao Qi resolutely refused!

Although because of Xiao Qi, the history of this world has undergone some changes. But with the development of the subprime mortgage crisis, Apple's stock has inevitably declined.

Brother Qiao’s current mind is to take advantage of the decline in Apple’s stock price and buy more stocks by himself.

Qiao’s own shares in Apple are seldom correct, but he is actually rich. After he sold 11.3% of Apple’s shares that year, he changed hands and owned two companies: one was a team that followed him from Apple. The NeXT company was founded, and the other one is from Lucas who filmed Star Wars. After spending 5 million U.S. dollars to buy the animation department of Lucas Corporation, Pixar was reorganized and established.

NeXT was acquired by Apple for 427 million U.S. dollars in December 1996. At that time, the competing system construction company only wanted 200 million U.S. dollars. The effect was similar to that of NeXT. However, Joe’s gang only relied on a mouthful. , To convince Apple's board of directors. Apple would go bankrupt without NeXT, so instead it spent a high price to buy NeXT, including 377.5 million US dollars in cash, 1.5 million Apple shares and 16 million US dollars worth of stock subscription rights-the 5.5 million that Qiao Bangzhu will have in the future Shares of Apple stock. Most of it comes from this.

Of course, there are still many shareholders of NeXT. Canon was fooled by Joe’s gang to invest more than 200 million U.S. dollars. In the end, they did not get 100 million U.S. dollars. On the contrary, Joe’s gang himself received 100 million U.S. dollars in cash and 1.5 million shares. Apple stock and stock subscription rights worth $16 million.

Sometimes you have to admire the mouth of Gang Leader Joe, this is definitely one of his most important weapons invincible, no matter how powerful people are, he may be fooled by him, and then follow his will.

Last year, in 2006, Disney bought Pixar for a total price of 7.4 billion US dollars, and Jobs did not ask for cash. He chose 7.7% of Disney shares, which are now worth 4 billion US dollars.

Now Apple’s stock price is around US$150, and Joe’s gang is planning to buy more than 10% of Apple’s shares in about a year, plus various expenses, which would cost approximately US$13.5 billion.

Of course he himself does not have so much money, and even his family property is not half of the money, but Joe’s gang leader insists that his own efforts will make Apple the most successful, and he will only have to sell 2%-3. % Of the shares, you can pay back the money you borrowed even with a profit.

Xiao Qi had to admire the whimsical ideas of Qiao’s gang leader. He was different from others. He knew that Apple’s highest stock price reached 660.59 US dollars, which is more than 4 times of the current price. Can pay back the borrowed money.

The whole cycle is not long yet, it only takes 5 years. In terms of American investment philosophy, an investment that can get a return of more than 50% in 5 years is absolutely short!

The leader of Qiao's gang borrowed 5 billion US dollars from him, but there was no collateral.

"Xiao Qi, you have to believe me. I guarantee with my name and reputation. The money will not be lost!" Qiao's helper vowed, "Even you can buy some yourself, and I guarantee you will get it." Income beyond imagination."

There is a magical power in his words that will make people excited, in fact, this is what Xiao Qi is studying hard.

"Well, you let me think about it, and I will give you an answer in three days."

The boy finally gave this answer.

...

It's messed up, it's messed up!

Before he left the world, the leader of Qiao’s gang never thought of buying Apple stock again. Although the board members of the previous life still deceived him, the 20 million shares that were originally promised were restricted for sale. In the end, even one-fifth of the shares were restricted. Not finished.

Unexpectedly, now that the leader of Qiao had the intention to buy Apple stock so early, it seems that the doctor Xiao Qi asked to help him heal his health, but also provoked his ambition.

think about it!

An almost perfectly healthy Qiao gang leader, at the peak of his life, at the age of 50, how energetic should he be to create one miracle after another?

If he is really allowed to further control Apple and reduce some unnecessary constraints, God knows how far Qiao can bring Apple to?

Xiao Qi laughed as he thought about it.

He is not afraid of Qiao's gang leader, because Xiao Qi's acumen for the future is definitely not inferior to Qiao's gang leader.

Moreover, after so many years of tempering, Xiao Qi believes that he will not lose to the leader of Qiao's gang for at least ten years.

If after ten years, the 30-year-old himself still loses to the 60-year-old Joe’s gang leader, then I can only blame myself for not being able to get on the wall in mud, and I deserve it if I lose.

Just like Xiao Qi's reason to save the Qiao gang leader, this world does not have the amazing Qiao Cannon, only the so-called Shan Zhai Rebs, and only those vulgar characters. How boring should it be?

Therefore, Xiao Qi decided to lend Qiao's leader 5 billion US dollars, but he needed Qiao's help.

Qiao Dapao's internal contacts in the company are so bad that he can feel sad.

But on the contrary, he is very popular outside his professional field. After he was kicked out by Apple that year, he spent a long time at various gatherings, as long as the place where he appeared was definitely the focus. , So I have met many friends and have strong connections.

Compared with Reed Hoffman's "King of Silicon Valley Networks," Gang Leader Joe also has his own network, and they are definitely elites in the world.

However, Xiao Qi couldn't answer him too early, otherwise Qiao's gang leader would have doubted whether Xiao Qi had any purpose.

Putting down the phone and returning to the dining room, the two sweet wives had finished their meal and were sitting at the dining table waiting for Xiao Qi.

When the teenager sat down, they kept adding vegetables to Xiao Qi, so that Xiao Qi could only plan the food hard.

"Ahem!"

The boy was choked by a piece of chicken because he was too eager to eat, and he coughed violently.

"Oh~"

"Be careful~~"

Feng Kexin and Qiao Guoer quickly patted him on the back~www.readwn.com~ The scent of body scent came into his nose, but Xiao Qi felt very comfortable.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks temporarily, Xiao Qi reached out and grabbed their little hands, but both of them struggled.

Qiao Guo'er is mostly angry, she thinks this stinky boy has to be an inch.

Feng Kexin felt more shy. When she chatted with Qiao Guoer, unless Qiao Guoer asked, she was embarrassed to talk about Xiao Qi.

However, seeing the appearance of the two women, Xiao Qi knew that they were still thin-skinned, so he laughed and let go of them again.

Anyway, it’s still a long time, so after getting them together a lot, they can always cultivate sisters’ feelings! (To be continued.

PS: The low share of Qiao Gangzhu in Apple is completely unimaginable, so it is a bit of artistic processing, and it is also the idea of ​​a novelist. In addition, a new week is here, and I beg your brothers for all kinds of support!
