Chapter 1494: The Unexpected Request of Leader Joe

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives, this ancient proverb is not only applicable to Chinese people.

It was only here that Xiao Qi plotted against Chief Qiao, and Chief Qiao was subdued. Immediately after, Xiao Qi received a call from Chief Qiao.

"what?"

Xiao Qi was surprised, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and walked to the other side of the balcony.

Originally, the boy was having dinner with his two lovely wives, but now he had to concentrate on the phone call.

Not only because it was Leader Qiao who called, but also because of what he said.

Gang Leader Qiao called to ask Xiao Qi to borrow money, and the purpose of borrowing money was to buy shares in Apple.

After being kicked out of Apple a few years ago, Joe’s boss sold almost all of his shares in a rage, leaving only 1 share to receive Apple’s annual report every year.

Now that Mr. Qiao returned to Apple, he still holds not many shares rewarded by the board of directors. It is about 5.5 million shares, accounting for 0.59% of the shares at most.

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

But now Apple is getting better and better with the help of ipod, iphone and other products, and Qiao's body is also getting better and better under the conditioning of two Chinese medicine masters in Huaguo, so he began to pay attention to his own interests.

Don't look at the fact that after Qiao's gang leader returned to Apple, he received a salary of only US$1 per year, but Apple's board of directors promised to give him equity incentives.

But until now, these equity incentives have not been fulfilled. This made Leader Qiao very angry, and remembered the evil deeds of these guys who drove him out of Apple.

Since you guys won't give it to me, then I'll take it myself!

Such an idea sprouted in Qiao's mind.

Of course. His "taking it by himself" is not about obtaining it by illegal means, but preparing to buy Apple's shares by himself to increase his shareholding and voice.

Speaking of Apple's company stock, it is definitely the most exotic stock on the planet.

Not because of how valuable and popular its stocks are, but because of its very, very weird performance. It is completely different from the performance of general company stocks.

For example, the ipod was launched in 2001, and within a year of its release. Apple's stock price plummeted more than 40%, which was based on the ipod's sales frenzy! !

In the previous life, in 2008, the iphone gradually developed its power in 2007, and directly reached the superdominant state that swept the world. The result is the beginning of 2008. Just when the iphone was in full swing, within 40 days, Apple's stock price plummeted by nearly 40%.

Even including when the iPad was born, in the three months from June to August of that year, Apple’s stock price actually fell by 12%. I really don’t know the reason for the curse!

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

Although because of Xiao Qi. The history of this world has changed a bit, but with the development of the subprime mortgage crisis. Apple's stock has inevitably declined.

Gangzhu Qiao's current mind is to take advantage of the decline in Apple's stock price to buy more stocks for himself.

It’s true that Joe’s own shares in Apple are very small, but he is actually rich. After he sold 11.3% of Apple’s shares, he changed hands and owned two companies: one is the team that followed him from Apple The next company was founded, and the other was Pixar, which was reorganized and established after purchasing Lucas's animation department from Lucas who filmed Star Wars for 5 million US dollars.

Sometimes you have to admire Gang Leader Qiao's mouth, which is definitely one of the most important weapons of his invincibility. No matter how powerful people are, they may be fooled by him, and then follow his will.

Last year, in 2006, Disney bought Pixar for a total price of 7.4 billion U.S. dollars, but Jobs did not ask for cash. He chose 7.7% of Disney shares, which are now worth 4 billion U.S. dollars.

Now Apple's stock price is about 150 US dollars, Qiao Gang plans to buy more than 10% of Apple's shares in about a year, plus various expenses, it will cost about 13.5 billion US dollars.

Of course he doesn't have so much money himself, and even his family property is not half of the money, but Joe's leader insists that his efforts will make Apple the most successful, and he only needs to sell 2%-3 % of the shares, you can repay the money you borrowed with interest.

Xiao Qi couldn't help admiring Joe's whimsy. 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 calculating it like this, it really only took about 3% Able to pay back borrowed money.

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

Joe's gang leader borrowed 5 billion US dollars from him, but there was no collateral.

"Xiao Qi, you have to trust me, I guarantee with my name and reputation, this money will not be wasted!" Qiao Gangzhu vowed, "Even you can buy some yourself, I guarantee you will get Unbelievable income."

There is a kind of magical power in his words 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 boy finally gave this answer.

...

Chaos, chaos, chaos!

In his previous life, Joe’s gang leader never thought of buying Apple’s stock until he left this world—although the board members in his previous life still deceived him, and even one-fifth of the originally promised 20 million shares of restricted shares were sold out. Not finished.

Unexpectedly, Gang Leader Qiao has the intention to buy Apple stocks so early. It seems that the doctor Xiao Qi invited not only healed his body, but also aroused his ambition.

think about it!

An almost completely healthy Qiao gang leader is at the peak of his life in his 50s. How energetic should he be to create miracles one after another?

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

Xiao Qi laughed after thinking about it.

He is not afraid of Chief Qiao, because Xiao Qi's sensitivity to the future is definitely not inferior to Chief Qiao.

And after so many trials in two lifetimes, Xiao Qi believes that he will not lose to Gang Leader Qiao within at least ten years.

If ten years later, the 30-year-old me still loses to the 60-year-old Qiao Gangzhu, then I can only blame myself for being muddy and unable to get on the wall, and I deserve it if I lose.

Just like Xiao Qi's reason for saving Gang Leader Qiao, how boring this world would be without the amazingly talented Joe Dapao, only the so-called Shan Zhai Rebus, and only those vulgar characters?

Therefore, Xiao Qi decided to lend 5 billion US dollars to Chief Qiao, but he needed help from Chief Qiao.

Qiao Dapao's connections within the company are so poor that it's almost a ghost.

But on the contrary, he is very popular in places other than his professional field. After he was kicked out by Apple, he hung out at various parties for a long time. As long as he appears, the place is definitely the focus , so I have met many friends and have strong contacts.

Compared with Reed Hoffman's "King of Silicon Valley Connections", Gangzhu Qiao also has his own connections, and they are definitely elites from all over the world.

But it is impossible for Xiao Qi to answer him too early, otherwise Gang Leader Qiao should suspect whether Xiao Qi has some purpose.

Putting down the phone and returning to the dining room, the two lovely wives had already 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 plan the food vigorously.

"Ahem!"

Because he ate too fast, one of them didn't have time, the boy choked on a piece of chicken and coughed violently.

"Oh~"

"Be careful~~"

Feng Kexin and Qiao Guoer quickly patted him on the back again, a stream of body fragrance came into his nose, but Xiao Qi felt very comfortable.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks temporarily, Xiao Qi reached out and grabbed their little hands, but they both struggled.

Qiao Guo'er was mostly angry, she felt that this brat was taking every inch.

Feng Kexin felt more shy. When she chatted with Qiao Guoer, unless Qiao Guoer asked her, she was embarrassed to mention Xiao Qi.

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

Anyway, it's still a long time, and after letting them spend more time together, they will always be able to cultivate sisters' feelings! (to be continued..)

ps: The low shareholding of Gangzhu Qiao in Apple is completely unimaginable, so it is a bit of artistic processing, which is also the idea of ​​a novelist. In addition to the arrival of a new week, I ask for all kinds of support from the brothers!
