Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 252 Back to New York

  Steve Jobs was worried that the situation would deteriorate further, because the conflict between the board of directors and Ye Dongqing, the major shareholder, endangered the stability of Apple, and he even came up with the bad idea of ​​delaying the operation time.

No way, he can neither change the minds of the group of people on the board of directors, nor can he make Ye Dongqing take a step back. In fact, Jobs also knows that as long as Ye Dongqing backs down this time, the independent directors of the board of directors are likely to make progress in the future. In the future, let Apple continue to develop according to their ideas, and I feel in a dilemma. Whether it is to let the board of directors continue to control the management power, or let Ye Dongqing overthrow the current board of directors, it seems that it is not good, so I hope to continue to maintain the current balance. keep it up.

Ye Dongqing definitely doesn't want to see Jobs delay treatment for this kind of thing. In addition, he can't back down. Before reaching a conclusion, he has already asked his assistants to prepare various countermeasures. Together, re-elect the list of members of the board of directors, and then start planning to add directors and other matters.

  Before, Ye Dongqing didn’t think about getting involved too much, all she wanted was to help plan after investing, in order to earn profits through stock appreciation and dividends in the future, just like investing in Amazon, Tencent and other companies.

But last year, Apple's stock was regarded as a junk stock with no potential. Ye Dongqing successfully bought a large amount of Apple's stock through warrants and options, and the progress was much smoother than he imagined. When he came back to his senses, he was already a major shareholder of Apple, and his shareholding was almost nine times that of the second largest shareholder.

Recently, with the continuous delivery of warrant contracts, he suddenly discovered that he already had such a large right to speak, and his mind became more active. Compared with letting other people manage the company, he certainly thought it would be better to take the power back into his own hands , It is not easy to make troubles, and it is easier to seize opportunities, and I am confident that I will bring Apple to a new peak.

Under such circumstances, the board of directors became a stumbling block. They happened to disagree with him on the appointment of the interim CEO, and Ye Dongqing naturally took advantage of it. He hoped to use this to balance the board of directors and restore the management system in which shareholders held power. Originated from the alternation of old and new management rights, the old side is unwilling to let go, and the new side is also unwilling to let go.

Since it's a struggle, there will always be a winner. Ye Dongqing doesn't want to be the loser, so she just made up her mind and decided to raise the premium to take over half of Apple's shares by force, linking all the big and small shareholders from top to bottom. Once again, while ensuring one's right to speak, one can also ensure more benefits. The price is nothing more than an increase in the current starting price, which is affordable.

There is a dedicated elite team dedicated to handling various issues for Ye Dongqing and his company, and it is good to leave specific matters such as acquisitions to them to handle. The four independent directors of Apple who held opposing opinions fell into the black hole in his heart. List, if the increase in holdings goes well, they won't be too long. These guys underestimated Ye Dongqing's financial resources, and underestimated his confidence in Apple. Since they decided to go against the grain, they should be prepared to suffer the consequences...

  Spent the day at the Facebook headquarters, and he met with an executive from a well-known architectural design firm called "Smith-Group" in person, and handed over the concept draft of the building that he drew at random.

According to the other party, the first draft will be finalized within ten days, and the specific design work may take as long as four months. The design of a skyscraper that is at least 500 meters high is not just a wooden house built by someone else's house. It involves a variety of architectural and material science expertise, and it will definitely not work if the time is short.

The preliminary overall design cost is as high as 20 million US dollars, including the whole process from design to supervision of construction. The current embarrassment is that the land has not been bought yet. It is necessary for Ye Dongqing to go to New York to inquire about the sale of the land. He must get a construction land that satisfies him in terms of location and area as soon as possible. Funding is no problem, as long as the design is completed, construction can start soon.

In addition, he also had a special talk with Mr. McCord about the issue of Apple. During the period, he also learned about the recent fundraising situation. After learning that Danshui Investment Group is only willing to accept 20 billion U.S. dollars , Freshwater Fund's wealth management products have suddenly become popular again. Recently, they plan to gradually kick out small investors. If anyone redeems them, they will not continue to sell them. It is undoubtedly more worry-free for the predators to cooperate.

The stall is bigger, and it is not easy to manage. I have dealt with the backlog of things that I have not been in Silicon Valley. Transfer from New York.

So on March 7th, Ye Dongqing also bought a few first-class air tickets, and took his staff back to New York. The flight time between New York and San Francisco was about six and a half hours. Go to sleep, and it won't be too late to come back.

  I got on the plane at 9:00 p.m. on the west coast, and it was already early in the morning when I arrived in New York. The sun rose from the sea level, and I could see the Statue of Liberty holding a torch.

I slept back from San Francisco to New York, and I didn’t wake up at all. After the 747 customized by Boeing is delivered, there will be three big beds inside. It will be more comfortable to fly by then. The business is expanding globally, and Ye Dongqing likes to travel , There are many places where airplanes are used in daily life. If you don’t enjoy it, why make so much money?

I made an appointment with Miss Marcie to meet at the small island next to Long Island. Ye Dongqing couldn't wait to see this renovated island. Assistant William just told him the quotations of several mainstream helicopters a few minutes ago, and it is estimated that he would choose the black one. Eagle helicopter, performance and domineering appearance. Several Bell Helicopter products are also quite good. He wants to see the real product and experience it before making a decision. Several sales representatives will come to contact him for a test drive.

He took a car from Kennedy International Airport to the island. When he arrived, Miss Marci had just left, so he walked around first. The stables were refurbished and turned into a stylish wooden house with red and white colors. The surrounding railings were painted black. It's all green grass.

The messy original grass and trees were removed and planted with North American red maple and evergreen lawn all year round. Flowers and shrubs were planted together, which looked very comfortable, and there were traces of construction just left everywhere. Workers were putting various sculptures together. Move it to the grass and arrange it according to the designer's idea...
