partners. Moreover, Bao Zixuan did not want to buy their shares, and Mike Markkula had fulfilled his mission well as an angel investor. It was time to introduce capital that could help the company grow and develop.

Wozniak: "Mike, this is what happened about Heiyun Company's acquisition of shares. He told Mike Markkula what Bao Zixuan said." But he did not mention Bao Zixuan's idea of ​​not wanting to dilute their shares.

I am afraid of losing my passion for entrepreneurship.

After all, sacrificing shares is inevitable now. Apple Computer without Black Cloud Office software is just a big toy at best, so angel investors can only be sacrificed.

Mike Markkula: "I understand what you mean. As an angel investor, I can withdraw, but I hope to get the U.S. dollars I deserve. Apple wouldn't be able to develop so fast without me. I hope to be able to cooperate with Black Cloud's

Interview with people.”

Jobs: "That's no problem. Tomorrow morning Bao from Heiyun Company will come to the company to discuss the details of the cooperation. You can negotiate with him first. If we don't reach an agreement, we will consider the next step."

Bao Zixuan had dinner with Joe Johnson and then returned to the hotel without even drinking. After all, drinking in the United States is not allowed for those under 21 years old. He didn't want to be caught by an unfamiliar customer.

Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan arrived at Apple. At this time, Bao Zixuan and Mike Markkula were sitting opposite each other in Wozniak's office. After a few pleasantries, the two got down to business.

Mike Markkula: "You are younger than I thought, Bao. Apple was originally just an investment for me, but since I came into contact with these young people, I have regained my passion for work."

To be honest, I don’t really want to quit. With the working attitude of these people and the addition of Heiyun, Apple will definitely be able to develop rapidly. So I thought about it all night yesterday. I can sell most of my shares to you. I need it.

How about keeping part of it!"

Bao Zixuan: "It's not impossible, but if you want to retain the shares, the price may have to drop to a certain extent. After all, I have to lose a lot of profits to ensure that you retain the equity. How much do you want to retain."

Mike Markkula: "Of course, I hope to retain 5% to 10% of the shares. It depends on the price you pay."

Bao Zixuan: "I don't want to waste my energy in endless business negotiations. I can create more value by spending that time in the laboratory and in front of the computer. You now have 30% of Apple's shares, I want

25%, how much can you transfer to me?"

Mike Markkula: "I am also a technician, and I understand your thinking. I will sell 25% of my shares to you for US$5 million."

Bao Zixuan: "Are you sure Apple is worth 20 million US dollars?"

Mike Markkula: "I was not sure at first, but with the joint efforts of Heiyun and Apple's founders, this number will soon exceed this number."

Bao Zixuan: "Okay! You are right. As long as everyone works hard, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished; there is nothing that cannot be achieved; let alone whether it is worth it or not. We should believe that Steve and the others are geniuses, and maybe in the future Apple will

The company can be worth 200 billion US dollars, who knows. I agree, happy cooperation!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Mike Markkula, and Markkula also extended his hand to shake it.

Everyone is anxiously waiting in the conference room for the outcome of the negotiation between Bao Zixuan and Markkula, because if they cannot reach an agreement, all plans will have to be scrapped and everyone's shares will be diluted, which affects everyone.

After signing the contract, Bao Zixuan handed the prepared checks to Mike Markkula and Jobs respectively. After everyone had a simple working meal in the restaurant, Bao Zixuan was ready to go back to school.

In an apartment in Los Angeles, a tall and beautiful woman was sulking in the room. At this time, his agent came over after answering the phone and said: "Sharon, you passed the audition. I will be the second female lead in this drama."

The number is yours. You have to behave well!"

That's right, Bao Zixuan promised to treat the beautiful woman he met on the plane to dinner. Unexpectedly, after negotiating with Apple, he was so excited that he forgot everything. Sharon Stone was still imagining what restaurant to go to for dinner! How can he and this

Young rich people keep good relations!

The look on the face of this girl who was as old as his own daughter suggested that he might have been fascinated by the boy he met on the plane! Moreover, he was followed by many bodyguards when he went out, which he had seen with his own eyes at the airport. He wanted to persuade this little girl.

:

"Sharon, are you thinking about the boy you met on the plane? I advise you not to have such thoughts. It is very dangerous. Your career is on the rise now. Too many scandals will reduce your popularity. The most important thing is

You and the other person are not the same type of people. You are a star in front of the general public, the darling of the spotlight. But among many rich people, you may be just an object, a lover, or a plaything. Don't have too many unrestrained things now.

Realistically, focus on making a good movie, then you will be the real you."

Sharon Stone: "I understand, don't worry! It won't happen again in the future."

Bao Zixuan didn't know that a kind word at that time would cause so much trouble to a girl. This may be because the thinking of Easterners and Westerners is different!

At 9:30 pm, Bao Zixuan and his party returned to Boston International Airport. Although everyone was a little tired, they were full of energy. Bao Zixuan said to everyone: "You have worked hard these days, let's go find a place to have a drink."

Drink. Relax. Let’s go to the Pink Restaurant.”

"Long live the boss." At this time, everyone started to cheer.
