Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 198: Apple and Joe

…

"Mr. Guo, have you considered it? If you sign your name now, then nothing can be changed!" Jobs finally reminded.

Glancing at him with a smile, Guo Shouyun directly picked up the pen and signed his name on the two contracts.

Actual actions are always more persuasive than words. After signing the contract, Steve Jobs had a good impression of this young man who was first contacted and had two different evaluations of 'genius' and 'gambler' in the outside world.

The other party can hand over billions of assets to him for management without hesitation. This kind of trust is far more touching than any empty words.

"Mr. Jobs, I'm done signing!"

"Thank you Mr. Guo for your trust!"

Guo Shouyun smiled, "I hope Mr. Jobs can cooperate with me in the acquisition of the remaining shares of Apple."

"certainly!"

With the guarantee, now he obviously hopes that Guo Shouyun can acquire more and more shares of Apple, so that his management rights can become more and more stable. So, how could they not cooperate?

After securing Jobs and indirectly securing Apple's management, Guo Shouyun also put down a stone in his heart. As for Apple's remaining stake, he's not too worried. Because Susan Wagner, who originally held the most shares, has now indirectly sold his Apple shares to him. The remaining shares are also relatively scattered, mostly held by some asset management companies and trust investment companies. As long as he can afford it, they are more than willing to sell their devalued Apple shares.

Of course, he can be sure that Morgan and Goldman Sachs will not let his shareholding exceed 65%! Because, they have to wait until Guo Shouyun is short of funds and take the opportunity to short, and then trigger the supplementary clause to eat all his holdings at half price of Apple shares.

However, Guo Shouyun firmly believes that he must win this duel in the end.

"Mr. Jobs, when I came in just now, I saw a garden in the back, can I go for a walk together?"

"Of course!" Jobs stood up with Guo Shouyun, "As a partner, Mr. Guo can call me by my name in the future, and my friends call me that!"

"Okay. Then let's call each other by their first names!"

Jobs smiled and nodded.

"Please!"

Then the two left the room together and came to the garden behind Apple through the back door. Obviously, it has been carefully designed, with the heights of fallen leaves, broad leaves, shrubs and vines, plus fountains, sculptures and iron works, etc. Although the garden is not too big, it is quite delicate and beautiful.

When Guo Shouyun and Jobs walked side by side, Wendy, Alisha and others followed behind by four or five steps.

"Steve, how long does it take for the company's M3 to come out on the market?"

"The original plan was November. But with your beautiful design drafts, a lot of time has been saved. If it goes well, the market can be launched in June or July!"

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly, "Is Apple's handheld computer business still developing?"

Surprised that he would ask this, after thinking about it, "Since the failure of the Newton handheld computer in 1993, there has been no hardware research and development except an open source operating system!"

"Have you considered re-establishing this department?"

"Re-establishment? Why?"

"Because with the development of technology, the miniaturization of electronic equipment is a trend. Moreover, if you combine a handheld personal computer with a mobile phone, and replace the cumbersome mobile phone buttons with a touch screen, then Apple will become a disruptor in the entire industry. Motorola, Ericsson And Nokia will be swept into the **** heap of history by us. At that time, Apple's future will be brighter than ever before, our market value will be dozens or even hundreds of times that of today, and we will become the representative of global technology companies."

If Guo Shouyun stands at a historical height, for a person like Steve Jobs who pursues innovation and geek ideas, he is full of great magic that is hard to refuse.

In addition to the bright light in his eyes, his breathing also became a little faster than before.

"Bruce, your idea is really cool. But it's not easy to turn it into reality!" Jobs said after stabilizing his thoughts.

"Of course it's not easy. However, neither touchscreens nor PCs are new. The functions of mobile phones are also becoming more and more abundant with the development of 3G networks. I believe as long as we continue to invest in R&D in software and hardware. At the current rate of technological advancement, in four or five years, we can get what we want.”

Hearing this, Jobs had a thoughtful look on his face.

"…this new phone, I call it a 'smartphone'. There are five core components of a smartphone: screen, camera, CU, GU and memory chip. The most important thing in software is the operating system. Now Apple The company has profound operating system research and development strength. As long as targeted development, it is not difficult to want a smartphone operating system. As for the core components, we cannot cover all aspects due to strength. Therefore, such as cameras and memory chips We can outsource the relatively minor hardware and focus on the screen, CU and GU. These three items will directly affect the performance of a mobile phone and are also the core of the core.”

"In the CU and GU space, Intel, AMD, Nvidia dominate. But what we need is mobile chips. And in this field, the most important company is ARM, and 90% of the world's companies use its microarchitecture."

"ARM is doing open design!" Jobs reminded.

"If we acquire it, it is not difficult to reverse this situation!" Guo Shouyun shrugged. Now there are many businesses under his command that can make money. So he has enough strength to make some fine-tuning of the future of some companies according to his own interests. It doesn't matter if this adjustment fails, it doesn't damage his roots anyway.

"In addition, there is a ruby ​​company under my banner. It is also engaged in the design of mobile chips. Due to its strength, it is mainly engaged in the design of low-end chips. Now it only has some markets in China. But despite this, she has the most comprehensive design except Qualcomm. CDMA patents. With these patents, when we sell mobile phone chips, we avoid paying patent taxes to Qualcomm, which will effectively reduce costs and increase revenue.”

"My idea is to merge the two companies into one, specializing in module design including CU, GU, baseband chips, etc. In terms of screen design, I have a blank with Apple here, but we still have a lot of research and development time. Therefore, I intend to acquire a screen company and do research and development on this basis.”

"According to the above needs, Apple's management structure should be adjusted to some extent. However, I promised not to interfere with Apple's management. So Steve, do you plan to use a 'division' system or an 'umbrella company' to manage , I won't interfere!"

"Bruce, you have chosen a development path for Apple in the next 20 years, is this still called non-intervention?"

"Haha, Steve, I'm just recommending. If you don't agree with what I just said, just pretend I didn't say it."

"No. In fact, what you said just now was very exciting. I admit, I am more and more interested in that 'smartphone' project now." After a pause, "However, want to achieve what you just said. The plan requires a lot of capital. Although Apple's finances are not tight now, I am afraid that it will not be able to spend much money to acquire ARM, Ruby and screen companies!"

"How many ARM shares does Apple have now?"

"31.8%!"

"Reduced so much?" Guo Shouyun frowned. You must know that when arm was established, Apple's equity accounted for half of it.

"Apple's business has been terrible for the past few years, and we need capital to develop new products."

After nodding clearly, Guo Shouyun pondered for a while, "I will solve the funding issue, and strive to complete the acquisition of ARM this year, as well as the integration of the two companies. Merge the new merged company into Apple before the end of the year! Next year we are planning to invest in screen companies, step by step according to the plan!"

Jobs nodded in agreement, and after a while he turned to glance at Guo Shouyun next to him, "I'm afraid that's why you bought Apple?"

Look at the inquiry in his eyes, and the confident expression on his face. Through his previous life, Guo Shouyun, who had a deep understanding of Jobs' proud temperament, nodded.

"I didn't expect to be seen by you so quickly!"

Shaking his head slightly, "After you have written such a long story, everyone knows that this amazing plan must have had a long preparation period."

Guo Shouyun smiled, "Steve, in fact, the whole plan was prepared around you. In my heart, you are the best executor of this plan. The whole Apple company is not as important as you!"

"It's easy to stress the person being praised with such high praise."

"Really? But why do I feel that you are more enjoying yourself?"

"I think there must be something wrong with your feeling!"

"Maybe!" Guo Shouyun shrugged indifferently, and a few jokes made the atmosphere between the two relax a little.

"By the way, this is the platinum membership card of my private club. You are welcome to visit often in the future!"

Looking at the silver-white card handed in front of him, Jobs took it and glanced at it, nodded and put it in his pocket.

"It's almost time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How about having dinner together?" Guo Shouyun suggested.

Jobs looked at his watch, "Come to my house, my wife Laurena's cookies will make everyone remember them!"

"Really, then I really want to try it. My favorite thing is to taste delicious food!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile. Jobs' proposal could not have been better for him, who was eager to deepen their relationship.

"Then let's go!"

"it is good!"

After Jobs returned to the office to sort out, Guo Shouyun brought Wendy and his bodyguard to Jobs' home in the wealthy area of ​​Santa Clara County.
