Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives, this ancient proverb does not only apply to Chinese people.

    It was Xiao Qi who plotted against Gang Leader Qiao, and Gang Leader Qiao also gave in. Then Xiao Qi received a call from Gang Leader Qiao.

    "What?"

    Xiao Qi became surprised, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and walked to the balcony.

    Originally, the young man was having dinner with his two lovely wives, but now he had to pay full attention to this phone call.

    Not only because the caller was Gang Leader Qiao, but also because of what he said.

    Gang leader Qiao called to borrow money from Xiao Qi. The purpose of borrowing money was to acquire shares in Apple.

    After being kicked out of Apple a few years ago, Gang Leader Qiao sold almost all his shares in anger, leaving only 1 share to receive Apple's annual report.

    Now that Gang Leader Qiao has returned to Apple, he still only holds a small number of shares awarded by the board of directors, about 5.5 million shares, and the shareholding ratio is only 0.59% at most.

    Originally, Gang Leader Qiao felt that his health was not very good, so he only focused on developing Apple and did not pay attention to his profits from Apple.

    But now Apple is getting better and better with its IPOD, IPHONE and other products, and Gang Leader Qiao¡¯s body is getting better and better under the care of two Chinese medicine practitioners in China, so he begins to pay attention to his own interests.

    Although Gang Leader Qiao only received a salary of US$1 per year after returning to Apple, Apple's board of directors promised to give him equity incentives.

    But now, these equity incentives have not been fulfilled, which makes Gang Leader Qiao very angry, and he reminds of the evil deeds of these guys to drive him out of Apple.

    Since you won¡¯t give it to me, I¡¯ll take it myself!

    Gang Leader Qiao had such an idea in his mind.

    Of course, his "take it for yourself" is not to obtain it through illegal means, but to prepare to buy Apple's shares himself to increase his shareholding and voice.

    Speaking of Apple¡¯s stock, it is definitely the weirdest stock on the planet.

    It¡¯s not because of how valuable its stock is.  How popular it is is because its performance is very, very weird, completely different from the performance of ordinary company stocks.

    For example, IPOD was launched in 2001. As a result, Apple¡¯s stock price plummeted by more than 40% within a year after its release.  This is still based on the sales frenzy triggered by IPOD!  !

    In the previous life of 2008, IPHONE gradually gained momentum in 2007 and directly reached the super dominance level that became popular all over the world. As a result, at the beginning of 2008, just when IPHONE was at its peak, within 40 days.  Apple's stock price plummeted nearly 40%.

    Even when the iPad was born, Apple¡¯s stock price actually fell by 12% in the three months from June to August of that year. I really don¡¯t know what the reason for the curse was!

    This is the most important reason why Gang Leader Qiao suggested that Xiao Qi buy Apple stocks or exchange Apple stocks for App Store stocks, but Xiao Qi firmly refused!

    Although because of Xiao Qi, the history of this world has undergone some changes.  But as the subprime mortgage crisis developed, Apple's stock inevitably declined.

    Gang Leader Qiao¡¯s current intention is to take advantage of the decline in Apple¡¯s stock price to buy more stocks.

    It¡¯s true that Gang Leader Qiao has very few shares in Apple, but he is actually rich. After he sold 11.3% of Apple¡¯s shares that year, he changed hands and owned two companies: one is the team that followed him from Apple  The NeXT company was founded by Lucas, and the other company was owned by Lucas, who made Star Wars.  After spending $5 million to buy the animation department of Lucasfilm, Pixar was reorganized and established.

    NeXT was acquired by Apple for US$427 million in December 1996. At that time, another competing system architecture company only wanted US$200 million, and the effect was similar to that of NeXT, but Qiao Gangzhu just relied on his mouth.  , to convince Apple¡¯s board of directors.  Apple would have gone bankrupt without NeXT, so it spent a high price to buy NeXT, including US$377.5 million in cash, 1.5 million shares of Apple stock, and stock subscription rights worth US$16 million - the 5.5 million that Qiao would later own  Shares of Apple stock.  Most of it comes from this.

    Of course, there are still many shareholders of NeXT. Canon was deceived by Gang Leader Qiao into investing more than 200 million U.S. dollars. In the end, he received less than 100 million U.S. dollars. On the contrary, Gang Leader Qiao himself received 100 million U.S. dollars in cash and 1.5 million shares.  Apple stock and stock options worth $16 million.

    Sometimes you have to admire Gang Leader Qiao¡¯s mouth. This is definitely one of his most important weapons for being invincible. No matter how powerful people are, they may be fooled by him, but thenThen follow his wishes.

    Last year, in 2006, Disney acquired Pixar for a total price of US$7.4 billion. Jobs did not ask for cash. He chose 7.7% of Disney shares, which are now worth US$4 billion.

    The current stock price of Apple is around US$150. Leader Qiao plans to purchase more than 10% of Apple shares in about a year. Including various expenses, it will cost about US$13.5 billion.

    Of course he himself does not have so much money, and even his family property does not have half of this money, but Gang Leader Qiao insists that his efforts will make Apple achieve the greatest success, and by then he will only have to sell 2%-3%  % of the shares, you can repay the money you borrowed with interest.

    Xiao Qi had to admire Gang Leader Qiao's whimsical idea. He was different from others. He knew that Apple's highest stock price reached 660.59 US dollars, which was more than 4 times the current price. After calculation, it only took about 3%.  Can pay back the borrowed money.

    The whole cycle is not long, it only takes 5 years - according to the American investment philosophy, an investment that can obtain a return of more than 50% in 5 years is definitely very short!

    Gang leader Qiao borrowed 5 billion US dollars from him, but there was no collateral.

    "Xiao Qi, you have to believe me. I guarantee with my name and credibility that this money will not be wasted!" Gang Leader Qiao vowed, "You can even buy some yourself. I guarantee you will get it."  Incredible income.¡±

    His words have a magical power that can make people's blood boil. In fact, this is what Xiao Qi is trying to learn.

    "Well, let me think about it and I will give you an answer in three days."

    The young man finally gave this reply.

    ¡­¡­

    It¡¯s a mess, it¡¯s a mess!

    In his previous life, Gang Leader Qiao never thought about buying Apple shares again until he left this world - although the board members in his previous life still deceived him. In the end, even one-fifth of the 20 million restricted shares originally promised were lost.  Not finished.

    "I didn't expect that Gang Leader Qiao would actually have the intention to buy Apple stocks so early. It seems that the doctor Xiao Qi hired not only helped him heal his body, but also aroused his ambitions.

    think about it!

    An almost completely healthy Gang Leader Qiao, around 50 years old, is at the peak of his life. How energetic should he be to create one miracle after another?

    If he is really allowed to further control Apple and reduce some unnecessary restrictions, God knows how far Gang Leader Qiao can take Apple?

    Xiao Qi smiled as he thought about it.

    He is not afraid of Gang Leader Qiao, because Xiao Qi¡¯s sensitivity to the future is definitely not inferior to Gang Leader Qiao.

    And after experiencing so many hardships in two lives, Xiao Qi believed that he would not lose to Gang Leader Qiao within at least ten years.

    ¡°If in ten years¡¯ time, at the age of 30, I still lose to the 60-year-old Gang Leader Qiao, I can only blame myself for not being able to get on the wall, and I deserve to lose.

    Just like Xiao Qi¡¯s reason for saving Gang Leader Qiao, how boring would it be in this world without the amazingly talented Qiao Cannon, only the so-called copycat Rebus, and only those vulgar characters?

    Therefore, Xiao Qi decided to lend Gang Leader Qiao 5 billion US dollars, but he needed Gang Leader Qiao¡¯s help.

    The difference in Qiao Dapao¡¯s connections within the company is so great that it¡¯s almost embarrassing.

    But on the contrary, he is very popular outside his professional field. After he was kicked out by Apple, he hung out at various parties for a long time. Whenever he appeared, he was definitely the center of attention.  , so I also met many friends and had strong connections.

    "Compared with Reed Hoffman's "King of Silicon Valley Connections", Gang Leader Qiao also has his own connections, and they are definitely among the elites in the world.

    But Xiao Qi couldn¡¯t answer him too early, otherwise Gang Leader Qiao would have suspected whether Xiao Qi had any purpose.

    After putting down the phone and returning to the dining room, the two lovely wives had finished their meal and were sitting at the dining table waiting for Xiao Qi.

    When the boy sat down, they kept picking up food for Xiao Qi, so that Xiao Qi only had to dig hard to eat.

    "Ahem!"

    Because he ate too quickly, the boy choked on a piece of chicken before he could make it in time, and he coughed violently.

    "Oh~"

    ¡°Be careful~~¡±

    Feng Kexin and Qiao Guoer quickly patted his back again, and waves of body fragrance passed into his nose, but Xiao Qi felt very comfortable.

    Temporarily putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Qi reached out and grabbed their little hands respectively, but both of them struggled.

    Qiao Guoer is mostly angry, she felt that this brat had to take advantage of her.

    Feng Kexin felt more shy. When she was chatting with Qiao Guoer, she was embarrassed to talk about Xiao Qi unless Qiao Guoer asked.

    However, looking at the two women, Xiao Qi knew that they were still thin-skinned, so he laughed and let them go.

    Anyway, it will take a long time, and after letting them spend more time together, they can always cultivate the relationship between sisters!

    PS: Gang Leader Qiao¡¯s shareholding in Apple is so low that it is completely unimaginable, so it is a bit of artistic processing, which is also the novelist¡¯s idea.  In addition, a new week has arrived, please support me brothers!
