Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Zixuan was not disturbed by the outside world and still performed his duties as a student at MIT. But this weekend he had to leave Cambridge and travel across the country. Go to Apple headquarters in California.

The overwhelming media reports and Microsoft’s usage bonus forced Apple to contact Black Cloud. Hashimoto Hiroshi reported to Bao Zixuan as soon as he got the news. Hence this journey across the entire United States.

On this trip, Bao Zixuan brought along two engineers and three bodyguards in addition to Hashimoto Hiroshi. In addition to Peng Yifei and John Howard, there was also a newly recruited security guard named Jackson Jones.

Jackson-Jones is a black man with a powerful appearance and a height of nearly 2 meters. He looks like a black tower and has a very strong deterrent effect.

After John Howard was promoted to head of the security department, he basically stayed with Bao Zixuan. Under his recruitment, the number of security guards in the company has reached 24. Bao Zixuan has very high requirements. Among them, many people do not meet the requirement of getting married and having children, and their families are all arranged to live in a community. Bao Zixuan also pays their wives a salary, and arranges for all the children to study in the best local schools. It can be said that Bao Zixuan's monthly expenditure on security costs reaches 500,000 US dollars. But for your own safety, it's all worth it. After all, the security situation in some places in Hong Kong and the United States is not very good in this era.

Out of professional habit, Bao Xiaxuan still chose to sit in the window seat next to the engine. I received the notice on the first day and set off early the next day. I originally wanted to go with more people, but in the end there were only 7 tickets left, so I had to make do with it.

Whether it was a Boeing 747 or a Rolls-Royce engine, these were all very familiar to Bao Zixuan, which reminded him of what happened when he was developing the engine. And just when Bao Zixuan was lost in thought, he suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance. At this time, Bao Zixuan saw a tall and beautiful woman sitting next to him.

The beauty is about 170 centimeters tall and has blond hair. She looks very fashionable in this era. Bao Zixuan couldn't help but take another look. To be honest, it had been more than a month since he came to the United States, and he had seen a lot of beauties, but this was the first time he had seen someone so comfortable and beautiful.

At this time, the beauty also glanced out the window, and the two people's eyes happened to look at each other. Someone caught him peeping, and Bao Zixuan could only smile awkwardly. Then he started reading. What he was reading now was a professional book on the principles of tape recorders, which he borrowed from his roommate Thomas Marr, because his next step was to produce the Walkman before Sony.

Perhaps because she had seen too many people around her, the beauty was not angry. But when I saw the book in Bao Zixuan's hand, I was still a little curious about the dense electronic circuit diagrams, and the book clearly had the mark of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After all, he considered himself to be a top academic figure, so he couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Sir, what book are you reading?"

Bao Zixuan: "It's a book about electronic components. It mainly introduces the working principle and application of the recorder."

In fact, what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that the woman sitting next to him was named Brooke Shields. I am only 15 years old this year, and I was invited to audition for a drama group.

Brooke Shields: "Hello, I am Brooke Shields and I am an actress. And you, sir."

Bao Zixuan seems to have heard of this name, but he can't remember it. After all, whether in this life or in his previous life, he has not had a deep impact on the film and television industry, and can only remember a few films. For example, there are a few movies such as Home Alone, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Alien, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, and Avatar. However, if you have time, you can still write a few books.

Bao Zixuan: "So you are an actor! No wonder you are so beautiful. My name is Bao Zixuan, from MIT."

Brooke Shields was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the person sitting next to her was actually a billionaire. As someone who has been in Hollywood since birth. He is still very concerned about the technology circle and the rich circle. After all, his dream since childhood was to become a successful professional woman or find a good husband.

Brooke Shields: "Oh my god! You are the Bao Zixuan from Xiangjiang, the developer of Heiyun Software, the proposer of Industry 4.0; the boss of Heiyun Company."

Bao Zixuan: "If there is no second Bao Zixuan, it should be me!"

Brooke Shields: "What are you going to California for this time?"

Bao Zixuan: "I'm going to Apple. I have a cooperation with them that I want to discuss."

Brooke Shields: "It's the Apple company that makes computers."

Bao Zixuan: "Yes, what about you! Have you been living in Boston?"

Brooke Shields: "I have a commercial shoot here and ended up going to L.A. to audition."

Time with beautiful women has been passing quickly. When the two got off the plane, they had already left each other's contact information. After Bao Zixuan finished her work, she invited her to dinner.

Brooke Shields was picked up by her agent, and already waiting at the airport were staff from Black Cloud Company who had arrived in Los Angeles in advance. They had already arranged everything.

Black Cloud Company and Apple Company met together in California and drove away.

Although American companies rarely work overtime on weekends, it is a different story for new computer companies. Although it is the weekend, all employees of Apple take the initiative to work overtime and do the career they love. Most of the employees of this company are young people, and they are very passionate every day together.

By this time, Apple had moved out of the garage of Jobs' home and finally had a place to stay in California. Jobs was 22 years old this year, the golden age of his life. But when he saw Bao Zixuan, who was younger than himself, he immediately felt pressure. He had already started much faster than his peers, but he didn't expect this Xiangjiang boy. Develop faster than yourself. The two people met while sizing each other up. Then Hiroshi Hashimoto introduced the two people.

Steve Jobs: "Welcome to Apple, Bao. How do you feel?"

Bao Zixuan: "Although this place is not big, the working atmosphere is the best in the United States and the passion is the most intense. I am full of confidence in our cooperation."

Jobs: "Your software is great. It is very suitable to run on Apple computers. This is a perfect match. There is no reason why we should not cooperate. We really want to buy it, but it is difficult for you to get shares."

Bao Zixuan: “I can express my sincerity with a very low software license, and I can purchase Mr. Markkula’s shares in cash, and I will not participate in Apple’s management. In any decision-making, my shares will be controlled by your founder shareholders. Exercise the right to vote on your behalf.”

In fact, these days Jobs, Wozniacki and others have been discussing the benefits and impact of Heiyun's investment in Apple, and whether it will deprive them of their management rights. But after hearing this, he felt relieved.

Jobs: "What's Black Cloud's valuation of Apple? I can't accept $10 million. How many shares do you want to get?"

In fact, Jobs's valuation of Apple was only between US$8 million and US$12 million. However, seeing that Heiyun's first-round quotation reached 10 million, he still hoped to get Heiyun to pay more. Who would let them? Games are so profitable. Bao Zixuan was once again deceived by his past life experience. At this time, Apple had just been established and had only moved out of the garage a few days ago. How could it have such a high market value! Moreover, Markkula invested US$250,000 a few months ago to obtain 30% of the shares. How could he have increased in value so quickly in just a few months?

Bao Zixuan: "I am very optimistic about Apple's prospects, but I don't want your founding team to hold too few shares, otherwise they will lose the passion to start a business and lose their original motivation. You can persuade Markkula to transfer the shares to me. I will pay 20 times the price, which is 20 times the investment he made a few months ago, and lend Apple 5 million US dollars for development free of charge, without charging any interest. If Apple does not pay back, it will automatically exchange for 10% shares.”

Jobs: "That's good advice. I'm going to have a talk with Markkula."

Bao Zixuan: "Okay, I'll take my leave first. I'll come over tomorrow morning. I don't have much time. I have to go back to Boston tomorrow night." Apple left after saying that.
