Chapter 694 I Want Stocks

The conditions offered by Jobs did not appeal to Feng Yiping much.

How could he pay attention to the annual salary of 50,000 US dollars? As for the gift of shares, it is estimated that the total value will not be higher than the annual salary, so it is not a big deal.

Speaking of which, the title of special adviser is still somewhat useful.

Although his Jiasheng is good, it still has a long way to go from a world-class well-known company. Google is still a new company, and Apple is different.

Although Apple has gone downhill for a long time since the 1990s, it is undeniable that it is still a world-renowned company. In such a company, serving as a special advisor to such a legendary figure is very important to the young Feng Yiping and the young For Jiasheng, there will be some benefits.

No matter how bad it is, I will add a good comment for Feng Yiping's shiny background.

But that's not enough. I came to the United States not only to make a name for myself, but also to help big companies like you make big money faster.

We are also shouldering the jobs of tens of thousands of people!

"I'm very honored!" Feng Yiping said, "Just, I have a request, I hope you can consider it,"

"It's okay, you say,"

"I have full confidence in Apple under your new leadership, and I also cherish the opportunity to work with you, so, for the annual salary, I can get a symbolic one dollar, but I hope to buy a certain amount of Apple shares, At least over a million shares."

Over the years, he has collected a lot of Apple stocks here and there, but there is no such thing as too much of this thing, and he hopes to buy the big ones at once.

Now Apple's stock price is around $10, and its highest price in history seems to have reached more than $700? If you can agree to his request, let’s not talk about what you hold in pieces—that part has a lower purchase price, so the return is higher. If you invest about 10 million this time, it can easily become about 700 million by then. , Buffett is also capable of this.

"That's right." The smile on Jobs' face faded, "Thank you for your trust, but I need to discuss this issue with the board of directors."

I know that people like Jobs are different from young people like Page and Brin, who are still working hard for their dreams, but Jobs is different, although he also has dreams. From the beginning of his business, there is one thing that he has always been More important than products, that is money!

For money, he can lie to the co-founder Woz without changing his face, and even more ruthlessly refuse to give any shares to the other employees who started the business with him.

Such a person, with such a personality, must be very calm and cautious when encountering stock and money problems.

Seeing Jobs' reaction, Feng Yiping didn't feel embarrassed at all. In a highly commercialized society like the United States, it is only natural to strive for reasonable interests for himself. Besides, he thought that this request was not too much. I just hope that Jobs can provide some convenience and save some trouble.

You can't foolishly make friends with these capitalists just because the talks were considered speculative.

"Hehe, maybe my request is a bit presumptuous," Feng Yiping's smile also faded.

It's okay, then let Li Ruiyuan take it slowly. It is said that Apple's stock is not very popular now. If it wasn't for the ipod launched last year, it quickly became popular and achieved a success that even Apple itself didn't expect. Will open this mouth, in the market, very easy to buy.

"No, you are investing in the purchase, and for our hundreds of millions of outstanding shares, this amount is not too large, but there are some financial issues that need to be considered,"

Although Jobs was very sensitive to money, he immediately softened his attitude after quickly analyzing the possible benefits of joining Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping found that finances, this is really a perfect excuse.

Paige felt a little embarrassed, "The company still has something to do when we go back, and you are busy, Steve, so Feng and I will leave first."

"Wait a minute," Jobs stood up and made a call, "Prepare two G4s and two sizes of iBooks, and send them to the parking lot now."

Hehe, this can be regarded as enjoying benefits in advance.

However, Feng Yiping took it for granted that he had made some suggestions just now to enjoy this little benefit, "Thank you," he said lightly.

"iBook is also a new product that has just been released. I hope that after you use it, you can also give some valuable suggestions. I will let the board of directors decide on your request as soon as possible." Jobs sent the two of them to the elevator entrance, and then simply followed them in. "Feng, do you really have any other opinions on our products, such as G4?"

Since you can consider my request as soon as possible, I can give you some more opinions, "The price is still too high. For example, in China, the low-end models are priced at more than 10,000 RMB, and it will take a few months. income to buy one,”

"This is already the best result of our multi-party compression," Jobs said, "Do you have a way to reduce costs?"

"It's simple," Feng Yiping said, "let's produce in China! That will not only reduce costs, but also increase production," said Feng Yiping.

No matter who takes up the business, it is always good to create some job opportunities for the country.

Watching the three cars go away, Jobs rarely returned to the office immediately, but started to walk on the spot with his chin in his hands, as if he was thinking about some big problem. vacated out.

Some employees who witnessed the scene just now asked secretly, who is that Asian boy?

Such a thing as sending guests to the parking lot, they are genius CEOs, but they haven't done it for many years.

…………

"Don't worry about Feng," returning to Google, and seeing Feng Yiping a little depressed, Page patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Your request must be fine, you may not know that the current Steve should be our American Among all the high-tech companies, the most powerful CEO, he dismissed the board of directors as soon as he returned. The current board members are all recruited by him, and they have no binding force on him. They have more functions, as if they are a think tank,"

This Feng Yiping really doesn't know, according to the corporate governance structure in Europe and the United States, which CEO without an absolute holding can be so good, even the board of directors said to dissolve?

"Where does he have such great power?"

"Before his return, including the first few years of his return, Apple's situation was very bad, and it was always on the verge of bankruptcy. Those people, who invited him back as a savior at the time, could grant any request."

I see.

However, Feng Yiping estimated that even if this was not the case, the proud Jobs would definitely find a way to deal with the directors who exiled him at the beginning.

He also believes in Buddhism, so he doesn't pretend to pay attention to Christianity. If someone slaps him on the left cheek, he will pass the right cheek to him. If someone slaps him, he will definitely return it loudly.

"Moreover, as far as I know, Apple often uses stocks to motivate employees and executives. In many cases, it even gives out millions of shares a year. If you want to buy them with money, it's not a problem at all.

Moreover, although Apple's stock price has rebounded somewhat through Steve's efforts, it is not very popular in the market. In short, it is not a problem. I think he will give you an answer in a day or two. "

That being the case, why didn't Jobs, who was fully capable of making a decision, agree on the spot? Ha ha, is it right?

Sure enough, as Page expected, on the morning of the third day after the meeting, Feng Yiping received a call from Jobs, "Feng, the company's board of directors has agreed to your request. If you need it, we can sell the limited amount of 1.5 million shares at once." share,"

Oh yeah! Perfect!
