Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

"I know, it's only 800 million US dollars. As long as the agreement is signed, the money will be transferred to Apple's account immediately." Wang Ye said calmly, and then turned to motion to Milner.

Milner understood it, opened a folder in front of him, pushed it to Gang Leader Qiao and said: "This is the fund certificate for our Polar Bear Company's San Francisco branch account. It is issued by Citibank and can be cashed at any time."

Gang Leader Qiao took it and took a look, and it turned out to be true!

The certificate issued by Citibank clearly states that the San Francisco branch of Polar Bear Investment Company has US$1.14 billion in cash in its company account!

This money was obviously earned by Wang Ye from shorting U.S. stocks...

After seeing the proof of funds, Gang Leader Qiao finally believed that the young man opposite was not just talking nonsense, but was really capable!

You know, this is real cash!

Instead of those messy loan financings and the like, it is cash that can be paid immediately!

"Okay, I believe Polar Bear Investment Company is here with sincerity. There is no problem with this matter in theory. I will report to the board of directors and try my best to promote this investment!" Gang Leader Qiao said excitedly.

Eight hundred million dollars!

With this money, Apple will be saved!

Many of my plans can be implemented smoothly.

I have to say that for Apple today, this money is absolutely as precious as giving timely help!

When he looked at Wang Ye again, Gang Leader Qiao's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Cook also beamed with joy and said: "The company's stock expansion and financing has been discussed by the company's board of directors last time, so there should be no problem. The basic plan is for the company to issue additional shares worth US$800 million to your Polar Bear Company. , the procedure is relatively simple, you just need to make an announcement.”

In the United States, because finance is highly developed, various financing investments are very convenient and the procedures are simple.

"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation." Wang Ye said cheerfully.

Gang Leader Qiao had already stood up, leaned across the conference table and stretched out his hand.

Wang Ye also stood up with a smile and held hands with Gang Leader Qiao tightly.

…………

Today's negotiation went very smoothly. One was short of money and the other was rich. It was like a raging fire. There was no way it wouldn't go smoothly.

In addition, Wang Ye did not bargain, let alone take advantage of the situation. He directly agreed to Apple's conditions, which was to invest according to Apple's current market value without discount.

Apple's current market capitalization is US$4.2 billion, its stock price is US$5.00, and its total share capital is US$840 million.

An additional 160 million shares will be issued and sold to Polar Bear Investment Company.

Then after the private placement financing, Apple will own one billion shares, of which Polar Bear Investment Company owns 160 million shares, accounting for 16%!

Although this proportion is not high, in fact, it has become the largest shareholder of Apple!

Originally, Apple's largest shareholder was Fidelity Investments, with a shareholding of approximately 10%.

The second largest shareholder is Vanguard Group, accounting for 6.5% of the shares.

Among the top ten shareholders, all are institutional investors.

As for the founder of Apple, Joe, how many shares does he hold?

Maybe no one would believe it, Gang Leader Qiao only had a symbolic share in his hand...

This is the reason why he sold all his shares when he left Apple.

Even now that he has returned to Apple, although there is a share incentive policy in the contract, he has only been back for a short time, and the company's business has not really started, so he has not received the incentive shares yet.

In addition, it needs to be explained that Gang Leader Qiao’s current annual salary is one US dollar...

From the annual salary and shares, it can be seen that this guy really takes fame and fortune lightly.

He is completely striving for his own ideals...

Of course, he himself is not short of money.

After leaving Apple, Jobs founded NEXT Company and Pixar Animation Studio. In 1996, his personal net worth reached hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, when Apple was in trouble, it is unknown why Gang Leader Qiao did not personally invest in the company and would rather introduce new shareholders.

…………

After signing the letter of intent for cooperation, Milner needs to discuss some details with Cook and others.

Gang leader Qiao warmly invited Wang Ye, Katya and the full-time translator Wang Ye brought to his office.

For his character, this is already an expression of gratitude and recognition to Wang Ye.

Of course Wang Ye accepted the invitation gladly. Gang Leader Qiao's office is definitely worth a visit.

After all, in Wang Ye's previous life, this was a true legend!

Gang Leader Qiao's office is not far from the conference room, just a short walk across the corridor.

Opening the door, Gang Leader Qiao extended his hand to invite the three people in.

This office is not big, with an area of ​​only forty or fifty square meters, and the decoration is not luxurious at all.

It can even be said to be a bit shabby, with an ordinary desk, simple chairs, and messy books, stationery, and various electronic products placed everywhere.

Gang Leader Qiao reached out to pick up a few magazines from the sofa and put them aside. He said a little embarrassedly: "The office is a bit messy, please forgive me."

Wang Ye smiled and said: "Understand, you people who are engaged in technology, and those who are involved in Internet companies, all have such a personality. This is called order in chaos, right, haha..."

After asking Wang Ye and the others to sit down, Gang Leader Qiao brought three cans of ice-cold Coke, cherry-flavored, from the small refrigerator nearby, without asking Wang Ye and the others in advance if they wanted to drink...

In terms of how he behaves, he is indeed as bad as the rumors say.

As soon as he sat down, Gang Leader Qiao seemed to remember something, stood up again, went to a cabinet next to him, and took out a silver-white, palm-sized object.

He handed it to Wang Ye and said: "Mikhail, look at it, this is the music player we just launched this year, IPOD!"

Wang Ye has really never been exposed to this stuff before.

In his previous life, he also bought a few MP3 players, but they were all traditional products such as Patriot, iRiver, and even the earlier Sony WALKMAN.

As for Apple's IPOD, he had heard of it but had never bought one.

Comparatively, when Apple launched this product, Wang Ye was studying in college, and his money was not very rich, so the price was not friendly to him.

Later, when we had money, IPOD basically withdrew from the stage of history. At that time, the world was already dominated by smartphones.

…………

I took it and played with it. I found that this thing is not small. It is much larger than the common MP3 players on the market, and the quality is much better.

The shell is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which is cool and smooth to the touch.

Moreover, Wang Ye knew that this gadget completely saved Apple...
