We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

To receive praise from Steve Jobs was enough to demonstrate the rapid progress of Xiangjiang's technology sector over the past year.

Of course, the main players were still the companies under Su Cheng's banner; they had single-handedly elevated Xiangjiang's technology sector.

Otherwise, Xiangjiang's manufacturing sector would only have achieved decent results in low to mid-range manufacturing.

"Mr. Su, if your Oracle Computer Company becomes a major shareholder in our Apple Company, besides providing technical assistance, can you offer help in other areas?" Steve Jobs stood up and asked sincerely.

This was one of his purposes for wanting to meet Su Cheng.

Only with the support of Su Cheng, the behind-the-scenes big boss, would Apple Company have a better future.

As for the promises made by Wayne or Yang Chaoye, Steve Jobs didn't find them very reliable, as they were just professional executives who could leave at any time.

If these executives were to leave and change their support for Apple Company, then the promises they had obtained would only be temporary pleasantries.

However, Su Cheng's promise was different.

When Steve Jobs was trying to cooperate with Oracle Computer Company, he researched a lot of information about Su Cheng's rise.

He was surprised to find that Su Cheng had not suffered any defeats in the business world over the years.

Moreover, companies related to Su Cheng had all experienced very rapid development.

This was also the biggest reason he convinced the other two founders to allow Oracle Computer Company to invest with technology.

Of course, Steve Jobs would not give up control of Apple Company.

However, he also understood that Su Cheng was a boss who didn't like to manage too many company affairs. This coincided with Steve Jobs's own thoughts. He hoped that after Oracle Computer invested in Apple Company with technology, Su Cheng wouldn't interfere too much with Apple Company and would preferably just be a shareholder holding equity without managing anything.

After all, three years into Apple Company's founding, the three shareholders already had their own agendas. Once Apple Company went public, unexpected things might happen that Steve Jobs couldn't foresee.

"Of course, although I have never considered acquiring Apple Company, I do hold 30% of the shares, and I hope Apple Company can develop well, as it would only benefit me and not harm me.

Besides technical support, I believe Mr. Jobs also knows that I am also a controlling shareholder of Intel. I can make Intel a technical support company for your Apple Company. In addition, if Apple Company's products have unique advantages, I can even open up Oracle's brand experience store sales channels to Apple Company, making Apple Company's sales channels more diversified," Su Cheng directly revealed a bombshell.

He had seriously considered this matter. Although there was a suspicion of nurturing a competitor, Oracle Computer Company now had far more fans than Apple Company. It would be very difficult for Apple Company to seize Oracle Computer Company's sales market.

Moreover, Su Cheng possessed many advanced technologies and could provide assistance at any time if Oracle Computer truly lagged behind.

The market was so big that it was impossible to monopolize the computer industry.

Cultivating Apple Company and giving Oracle Computer a competitor would prevent Oracle Computer Company from becoming too arrogant.

Since that was the case, instead of giving the market outside of Oracle Computer to companies like HP and IBM, it would be better to give it to Apple Company, which held 30% of the shares.

When Steve Jobs heard Su Cheng's bombshell, his eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly.

Oracle Computer Company, that was a super sales channel.

"Mr. Wayne, don't worry about this matter. I have my own plans. Since Oracle Computer Company holds 30% of Apple Company's shares, whether Oracle Computer's sales are good or Apple Computer's sales are good, it is beneficial to Oracle Computer Company. Moreover, this can also put pressure on Oracle Computer's R\u0026D department, preventing them from becoming complacent," Su Cheng said with a smile to Wayne.

Since the boss had said so, Wayne had no choice but to pass the problem to Yang Chaoye.

"Thank you, Mr. Su. I will sign the contract now. I have already brought the contract, which has the signatures of our three founders and the seal of a famous Silicon Valley law firm," Steve Jobs took out four copies of the contract from his bag and handed them to Su Cheng and Wayne to review.

After these four contracts were signed, the three founders of Apple Company would each hold a copy, and Oracle Computer Company would also hold a copy.

Su Cheng took a copy of the contract and carefully examined it.

At the same time, he asked Little Ai to confirm the legality of the contract.

After confirming that there were no errors, Su Cheng handed the contract to Wayne.

As the head of Oracle Computer, Wayne should sign the contract. Although Su Cheng's signature would also have legal effect, Su Cheng felt it was unnecessary.

Seeing Wayne hesitate after reading the contract.

The boss opening up Oracle's brand experience store sales channels to Apple Company was unexpected to Wayne.

"Mr. Wayne, please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer," Su Cheng said helplessly when he saw this.

He also knew Wayne's concerns and that he was genuinely thinking about Oracle Computer Company.

Therefore, Su Cheng did not blame him.

Being able to become a major shareholder of Apple Company was equivalent to having Steve Jobs work for him and make money for him.

Therefore, he had to make Steve Jobs satisfied.

A person who could become a legendary figure in the business world, no matter how history changed, was destined not to remain unknown in this life.

Investing in a promising business manager was much easier than finding one himself.

At least, if Steve Jobs was also one of the bosses, then he would not easily leave this company.

In his previous life, Steve Jobs was forced to leave Apple Company for a period of time and eventually ran an animation studio, which eventually launched the world's first full 3D animated film, "Toy Story."

The company was acquired by Disney in 2006, and Steve Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder as a result.

From this, it can be seen that no matter where Steve Jobs went, he would shine brightly.
