Reception room.

Steve Jobs picked up the coffee at his hand and said,”Mr. Jiang has been a famous name for a long time. I don’t know what the purpose of this visit is.”

Originally, Jiang Feng had planned to exchange a few words with Jobs and bring the two of them closer together. But seeing Jobs being so straightforward, he gave up the idea.

His face became solemn and he said solemnly:”Since Steve you are so direct, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I want to acquire your Next Computer Company and Pixar Animation.”

Before coming, Jiang Feng had studied Steve Jobs knew that he was a stubborn, expressive, very confident person with a strong desire to control.

In this regard, Jiang Feng knew that this negotiation would not go smoothly.

Sure enough, it was as he expected.

After understanding Jiang Feng’s intentions, Steve Jobs refused without hesitation,”No way, I won’t sell it. Mr. Jiang, please take it back.”

Faced with Jobs’s rejection, Jiang Feng was not surprised.

If only Jobs were so easy to convince.

I’ve long since returned to Apple.

Don’t wait until now.

There was a pause.

Jiang Feng showed a faint smile on his face and said,”Steve, don’t refuse in a hurry, listen to my offer first.”

“It spent US$300 million to acquire Next Computer Company and its related patents, and US$50 million to acquire Pixar Animation.”

Seeing that Jobs was about to speak,

Jiang Feng said first:”I know what you are going to say.”

“These are all your hard work, and I know you don’t want to buy them.”

“so!! You listen to the other conditions I mentioned, and then you decide whether to agree or not.”

“First, I accepted the proposed acquisition. However, it was not acquired in my name, but in the name of Apple.”

“Second, after the acquisition, there are two options: directly exchange for Apple shares, or take cash….In addition, I hope you can return to Apple and serve as Apple’s CEO, responsible for Apple’s product and strategic development.”

He said his bargaining chip in one breath.

Faced with a person like Jobs, there is no need to hide or tuck in.

If you go straight, you can save your words.

Jobs did not speak.

He looked at Jiang Feng with shocked eyes..

Apparently he was shocked by what Jiang Feng said.

After a while, after digesting it, Jobs woke up and frowned, looking at Jiang Feng:”You said you could let me return to Apple and serve as CEO?”

“good!”

“Did you acquire Apple?”

“No…impossible!! How could those treacherous and profit-seeking people sell Apple?”

Jobs didn’t believe it.

Jiang Feng smiled and said:”You guessed it right. Apple is indeed in my hands. Look, in two days at most, you can see the news that Apple has changed hands.”

“With my support, Steve, you will be able to return to Apple and wash away the shame they have brought upon you….”

Jobs’ eyes moved slightly.

Obviously something moved.

Picking up the coffee on the table, Jiang Feng took a gentle sip, and then said with a smile:”Steve…I have shown my sincerity, now it’s up to you to choose”

“I hope you can consider it carefully”

“For Apple, I fancy you. As long as Apple is in my hands, you will always be Apple’s CEO….”

“In addition, there is an old saying in our Xia Kingdom: where you fall, you stand up.”

“Are you willing to see the company you once founded be surpassed by a rising star like Microsoft?”

Looking at Steve who was silent,

Jiang Feng stopped trying to persuade him.

Obviously, he needed to calmly think about the pros and cons.

“I’ve been in Redwood City these two days. If you get in touch, you can contact me at any time. This is my phone number.”

After handing the note in his hand to Jobs, Jiang Feng stood up and said goodbye.

Soon, Jobs was left alone in the reception room, silently meditating. Jiang Feng was not worried at all about what Jobs would choose. Jobs was an extremely A self-respecting person. He was kicked out of Apple and was ridiculed by the media at the time. He didn’t believe it, and Jobs was not angry. Also, seeing his former rival becoming stronger and overtaking Apple, he had no idea. , is impossible. Of course, more importantly, if you reject him, next will go bankrupt in less than two years like in the previous life. Without the support of a large consortium, with the speed of next’s money burning and profitability, As long as your brains are not stupid, no big capital will invest in next. Without capital investment, next is a hardware project. It will definitely not go forward, and the only way left is to go bankrupt.

…….

Left the next company building.

Looking at the small-town-like Redwood City, Jiang Feng felt very comfortable.

Yes…

Very pleasant.

Just now, he received a call from Liang Botao.

A share transfer agreement has been officially signed with Apple’s major shareholders.

These shareholders control 76% of Apple’s shares.

Based on the previously discussed 20% premium, that is, a total market value of US$7.2 billion.

To acquire 72% of the shares, Jiang Feng needs to pay them US$5.472 billion.

Jiang Feng plans to acquire this money in the name of three companies including Jiang Family Fund, Tianhe Fund, and Hanhai Fund.

One is to reduce the impact of this matter.

Avoid causing dissatisfaction among the people of country m.

After all, Time Warner had just been acquired.

If there is news about his sole proprietorship of Apple at this time.

I’m afraid, the people of country M are going to cry yellow peril.

The second is to be low-key.

Tianhe and Hanhai funds are two funds.

At present, few people know that he is the boss behind these two companies.

Under Jiang Feng’s instruction.

Liang Botao represents the Jiang Family Foundation.

The other two funds also sent representatives respectively.

Both funds are registered in the Cayman Islands.

It has branches in Country M, London and Hong Kong.

Because Liang Botao represents the Jiang Family Foundation.

Therefore, his former deputy can only represent the two funds.

In terms of money, Jiang Feng transferred 5.5 billion US dollars directly from his account.

After transfer.

Jiang Feng’s personal account funds.

Half of it is already missing.

Before coming to country m, he still had 31.1 billion US dollars in hand.

With his acquisition of the Bulls, Marvel, Time Warner, Hasbro, and the purchase of Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and Jurassic Park in M Country…

Yes, you read that right.

This time he came to country m not only to acquire some potential companies.

He even won”Lord of the Rings”》、《The rights to adapt novels such as”The Hobbit” and”Jurassic Park”.

Of course, these are expensive.

Especially Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, as well as the unfinished Silmarillion….

Spending a lot of money to obtain film and TV adaptation rights from the Tolkien Foundation…

Plus the billions of dollars spent to acquire Apple.

In just two months, Jiang Feng spent more than 10 billion US dollars.

Fortunately, he makes money quickly.

Received $8 billion from Howard.

We also received 600 million in agency fees from three agents of Blue Mountain VCD.

With this decrease and increase, Jiang Feng’s small amount is not much less. certainly.

If you include the money made by Blue Mountain Electronics (Country M) Company in Country M during this period, Jiang Feng is estimated to have made a small profit.
