The status has been adjusted recently, and normal updates will be restored as soon as possible. This child can roll over now, and he can't live without others. If he doesn't pay attention, he will roll over on his own, and he will get angry if he is not allowed to roll over. Oh, what a toss!

Cupertino is a small city located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area and western Santa Clara County, California!

It is indeed a small city. Cupertino has an area of ​​less than 30 square kilometers and a population of only about 50,000. If we put it in China, it would be the size of a town.

But it is known as the "Heart of Silicon Valley". Famous high-tech companies have settled here - Apple, Oracle, Symantec, etc.

The per capita income of people here has reached more than 140,000 US dollars, which is more than twice and nearly three times the per capita income of the United States. However, less than 4% of the families and slightly more than 5% of the population here are at the poverty line. Below, this is also ranked among the best in the United States.

The settlement of high-tech companies, the high income of residents, coupled with a limited population and fewer poor people, make the environment of Cupertino city very beautiful and livable.

"So it's not about the size of a city, it's about pursuing a super-large international city. For the leaders, it is certainly a dazzling political achievement. But for the residents living there, it is not necessarily so!" Fang Mingyuan looked out the window. Landscape, murmuring.

Tongyi's population has grown rapidly, resulting in tight infrastructure construction, which has caused some headaches for Su Aijun and Zhao Xu'an. Before Tongyi became a special zone, it was just an ordinary small county in China, and it was a poor county, so its infrastructure was weak. .It is also reasonable. After Su Aijun and Zhao Xu'an became secretary and mayor, Tongyi carried out large-scale infrastructure construction. The current new urban area can be said to have been built from scratch in just a few years. It was built. Although the Tongyi Municipal Government has invested heavily in urban infrastructure construction, it now seems that it is still not enough compared to the influx of population.

Fang Mingyuan can understand the psychology of these immigrants who are pouring into Tongyi. Since various domestic resources are too tilted towards cities, especially large cities with high administrative levels. This makes second- and third-tier cities have huge differences with first-tier cities in many aspects. The gap is huge, not to mention those counties and towns. Moreover, the bigger the city, the more opportunities there are to find a job. Today, with the unemployment rate rising, in order to find a job to survive, in order to have better development in the future In order to have a better future for their children and to have a better living environment in the future, people are flocking to big cities like crucian carp crossing a river.

Although Tongyi is just a new city, due to its administrative level, it naturally enjoys a series of corresponding resource tilts. In many aspects, it enjoys freedom that is almost the same as Fengyuan.

Moreover, Tongyi itself does not have a large population, and the average education level of residents is also limited. Large companies such as Deguang Electronics Group and Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Co., Ltd. have settled in, providing many jobs. Moreover, Tongyi’s public security

The situation is good and there is little discrimination against immigrants, which undoubtedly gives a lot of hope to young people who want to venture out into the world.

But the problem is that Tongyi’s land resources, water resources, and administrative level are all determined. It is impossible for it to develop into a big city like Fengyuan without restrictions. Development and lack of resources have become a contradiction!

"Mingyuan, what did you say?" Li Xintong, who was sitting next to him and looking at the information, raised her head and said softly.

"Nothing!" Fang Mingyuan sat up straight, took the information out of her hand, looked at it a few times, then threw it back to Li Xintong and said, "Don't look at it, it will be here soon."

After hearing this, Li Xintong took the information back into her briefcase, but her mood was not as calm as she showed.

Fang Mingyuan came to San Francisco from Los Angeles to meet David Boardman, the founder of Texas Pacific Group.

After a friendly meeting that lasted for more than six hours, the two could be said to have reached a lot of intentions for cooperation and achieved fruitful results. Boardman promised that Texas Pacific Group would provide services to Kowloon Airlines.

, the matchmaking between Qinxi Airlines and Continental Airlines. Although it is said to be a matchmaking, as the major shareholder of Continental Airlines, Fang Mingyuan still believes in Boardman's promise.

Boardman was also very satisfied with this result. He also offered to help Kowloon Airlines join the Star Alliance, which integrates route network, VIP lounge, check-in service, ticketing and other services.

This unprecedented airline alliance will allow customers to enhance their travel experience no matter where they are in the world. This will help Kowloon Airlines increase its visibility in the world aviation industry and provide better international route services.

Previously, the results of the negotiations between Fan Mingyuan and DeCrian have been passed on to Sony Corporation, Providence Asset Partners, Comcast Corporation and Texas Pacific Group Corporation. Regarding Fan Mingyuan's results, this result is really important.

This shocked the management of the four companies responsible for this matter. Not to mention that Fang Mingyuan's efficiency was far beyond their imagination. The acquisition price of 3.3 billion US dollars, even with the 500 million

The US dollar bet is only 3.8 billion US dollars, which is actually a big drop compared to Dekerian's original asking price. Even if Fang Mingyuan wants to share half of the difference, the purchase price they have to pay is less than

Their original expectations were still much lower.

This result can be said to be beyond their expectations and made them extremely excited.

Therefore, each company will send its responsible persons to the United States as soon as possible to negotiate with Fang Mingyuan face-to-face. In order to reach an acquisition agreement with Deckerian as soon as possible - everyone is worried about the long nights and dreams. After all, in Hollywood, thinking about the MGM film company

There are still many people. Neither General Electric Group nor Time Warner are fuel-efficient lamps. It is better to settle down as soon as possible.

The place they agreed on was San Francisco, but before their official meeting, Fang Mingyuan took Li Xintong to Cupertino to meet a man, a legendary figure in the Internet era, a famous man - Steve Paul.

.Jobs.

Li Xintong didn't know when Fang Mingyuan met Steve Paul Jobs again.

Steve Paul Jobs is also a modern legend. From a certain perspective, although his net worth is far lower than that of Bill, no one can ignore his influence. He is not only the founder of Apple Computer

The founder of the company is also the hero who brought Apple Computer Company out of the quagmire. Under his leadership, Apple Computer Company has achieved a series of amazing achievements - for example, Apple Computer Company officially released the iMac computer in 1998 and became a major success.

was successful. This allowed Apple Computer to return to profitability that year. This was Apple Computer's first profitable year since 1995. By the year 2000, Apple Computer's stock price was even higher.

It once reached a height of 157.8 US dollars! It was in this year that Jobs officially became the CEO of Apple Computer Company.

Although the Nasdaq Index plummeted in 2000, it also brought a lot of trouble to Apple Computer Company, which suffered a quarterly financial loss. However, Apple Computer Company can still make tens of millions of dollars in profits every year!

Just as Li Xintong was thinking about it, the car slowly stopped in front of a small coffee shop.

"Let's go!" Fang Mingyuan opened the car door and said.

The three of them entered the coffee shop and followed the stairs to the end of the corridor on the third floor. Fang Mingyuan opened the door of a room and walked in.

"Wow!" Li Xintong couldn't help but exclaimed. The room was very big, covering seventy or eighty square meters, but apart from a table and four chairs, there was only a pair of cushions placed in front of the window. The upper ends of the cushions

There was a man sitting there, none other than Steve Jobs.

"Coming?" Jobs opened his eyes and greeted Fang Mingyuan.

"Here we come!" Fang Mingyuan sat cross-legged on the cushion in front of him and said with a smile, "Why, are you meditating again?" It was no secret that Jobs liked Eastern philosophy. He would meditate every day. According to him, this way

It can keep him calm and in better working condition.

"No, I'm just waiting for you to come." Jobs chuckled, "This time, I'm not late."

"Yes, this place is less than two kilometers away from your office, but I have crossed the entire Pacific Ocean." Fang Mingyuan said casually. Didn't this guy just "click" a few words for himself when he was late once? As for remembering this

Is it clear?

Jobs' eyes fell on Li Xintong, with a hint of surprise on his face: "Fang, have you changed assistants again?"

"Well, the new one. Let me introduce, her name is Li Xintong, and her father is Li Jianxi, the chairman of South Korea's Samsung Group!" Fang Mingyuan waved and motioned for Li Xintong to come over.

At this time, even Steve Jobs couldn't help but be moved.

"Okay, okay, let's take care of the lady, let's sit on the chair." Jobs looked at Li Xintong's professional skirt, put his hand on the ground, and stood up.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan followed suit and stood up. The three of them sat down around the table, while Chen Zhong moved a chair and sat in a corner of the room.

"Fang, congratulations!" Jobs smiled.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Congratulations to you too! Steve!" In 2003, Apple Computer Company's stock price and profits had increased significantly. As the CEO of Apple Computer Company, Jobs was naturally also affected by capital and

Media fascination.

Jobs shook his head and said: "What should I congratulate? It's because I work for you!"

Li Xintong's eyes immediately turned to Fang Mingyuan. Could it be said that Fang Mingyuan is still a shareholder of Apple Computer Company?

Fang Mingyuan spread his hands helplessly and said: "Steve, you can't blame me. When you quit Apple Computer, you sold off all the stocks and only kept a token share. 1996

At that time, when Apple Computer Company acquired NeXT Software Company, didn't you get another 1.5 million shares of stock, and later asked you to sell it, or you still only kept one share. Two thousand years ago, didn't the company issue another 1.5 million shares?

With your ten million shares, you should stay this time, right?"

Jobs smiled awkwardly, and Fang Mingyuan understood. He probably sold some of it, or even all of it. But Jobs was not short of money. He was not only the CEO of Apple Computer, but also a well-known animation company in the film industry, Pixar.

The CEO of Pixar Animation Studio. Pixar Animation Studio has produced several masterpieces in recent years. As its controlling shareholder, Jobs’s net worth has exceeded one billion US dollars!

"Fang, what do you want to do when you come to San Francisco this time?" Jobs asked.

"If there's nothing else, you're a busy man, do you have time to meet with me?" Fang Mingyuan said angrily, "Of course there's something. I heard that Pixar Animation Studio and Disney are discussing the issue of a study appointment? Yes.

no?"

As early as the early 1990s, Pixar Animation Studios signed a contract with Disney, which was responsible for distributing animations produced by Pixar Animation Studios. In 1997, the two parties renewed the contract again, and stipulated in the contract that,

Pixar Animation Studios and Disney share the investment and profits of animated films equally, and Disney also gets an additional film distribution fee.

In the past few years, Pixar Animation Studio has produced a series of excellent works, achieved results that have attracted the attention of Hollywood, and earned huge profits for Pixar Animation Studio and Disney Company. Now it is time to renew the contract, and Pixar Animation Studio and Disney Company are in the process of renewing the contract.

Conduct active consultations to strive for greater and better interests for yourself.

"Well, we are negotiating." This is not a confidential matter, Jobs admitted frankly.

"Are you sure you can renew your contract with Disney?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "Do you need me to help Pixar Animation Studio find a spare tire?"

"Spare tire?" Jobs quickly realized what Fang Mingyuan was referring to, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Fang, are you so unfavorable to our negotiations?"

Fang Mingyuan nodded heavily. The separation of Pixar Animation Studio and Disney Company was a big news in Hollywood in 2004! Moreover, it was not a secret that Jobs was at odds with the current CEO of Disney.

Jobs couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He also knew that Fan Mingyuan's business vision was well-known in the industry, and this time the negotiation process between Pixar Animation Studio and Disney Company was indeed not smooth. Pixar Animation Studio hopes to

In the new contract, if you independently invest in new movies, you will naturally have to exclusively enjoy the profits of the movie and pay Disney 10% of the distribution fee. Moreover, Pixar Animation Studio hopes that Disney will give up the animated movies that the two parties jointly shot in previous years.

of ownership.

Of course, Disney would not agree to such a request, and the two parties are currently in a tense situation.
