Chapter 170: Go As You Like

"Of course not." Tang Huan shook his head, "But we must first understand one thing. With Morgan Stanley's status on Wall Street, it is indeed Apple's best partner. It can guarantee the greatest success. We don't need to replace it." The underwriter should try to make the other party understand the value of an emerging technology company like Apple."

"Then go lobby them." Jobs looked resentful, "Morgan Stanley's self-righteous guys are very stubborn, or else they wouldn't have broken up last time."

"Everyone here can't agree, and naturally I can't." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "But we can find another non-traditional investment bank that is familiar with the emerging technology industry and optimistic about the future prospects to assist Morgan Stanley. If the two go hand in hand, it can also put pressure on Morgan Stanley."

Hearing this idea, many people's eyes lit up, and Markkula asked: "Don, do you have a suitable choice?"

"The Humberquist company in San Francisco seems to be good." Tang Huan shrugged, "But I just heard about it, and the specific situation will only be known after contact."

"Since it's your suggestion, why don't you just contact me." Markkula finally had a relaxed smile on his face.

Tang Huan thought about it secretly. Since he wanted to take advantage of the boom in video games and push EA into the stock market to make money, it was necessary for these investment bankers to spend time making friends.

"Okay, I can try it." Tang Huan nodded, "But I am only responsible for matchmaking. If the other party is willing to participate, then I will bring it. I will communicate with you further."

"Then it's settled. I'll go to the Lisa project team to have a look." Jobs left this sentence, hurriedly got up and left.

"There are still a lot of sales work that is not ready, I want to supervise." Robert followed suit and followed suit.

Are you all busy? Brother is not easy wow.

"I'm going to contact Hamberquist right away." Tang Huan chatted with Markkula for a while. Then he returned to Zheru's office.

The boyfriend of San Francisco Mayor Feinstein's boyfriend, Richard Bran, is an investment banker. Tang Huan had his contact information, so he lazily called him and entrusted him to find Hamberquist on his behalf. Be the family.

"I'll go to your office from Cupertino right away. I hope I'll hear good news when I arrive." Tang Huan has had dinner with him several times and played golf once, and they have a very good relationship. It's close, so it's more casual in speaking.

"Ok,

Young people are always so impatient. "Blan smiled and agreed.

soon. Tang Huan met the two partners of Humberquist, ht and Humberquist, that is, Humber and Quest.

In fact, Tang Huan just revealed his tone a little bit, and they came together in the end, which shows that he really has great interest in emerging technology companies.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Huan directly introduced the current situation of Apple to the two of them.

Bill Humber, 45 years old this year, graduated from Princeton University. This man's pioneering work in his previous life is just that. Through the Internet, the so-called "" model" has helped several technology companies to go public successfully, and the most famous of them is naturally Google.

"So, Apple is very dissatisfied with Morgan Stanley's conservative attitude, so it wants us to stand on another angle and re-evaluate it again." Humber's eyes shone shrewdly.

"Morgan Stanley's performance this time is indeed substandard. They don't understand that around the Apple II, a promising new application ecosystem is being formed. No matter how the personal computer industry develops in the future, it will still roughly follow this model. .”

Tang Huan said this. Pick up a pen and paper and draw a diagram. Below are hardware manufacturers such as Apple Computer, in the middle are various software, and above are educational institutions, hotels, supermarkets, small and medium-sized enterprises, etc., as well as individual users.

"This is only the field that Apple Computer has reached. I believe that with the release of new products with stronger performance, the market will be further expanded." Tang Huan smiled leisurely.

"From this point of view, Apple's appreciation space is really not that big. Those venture capitalists in Silicon Valley have made money this time." Bu Lan, who was admiring, showed an envious look on his face.

Both Humber and Quest also showed greater interest. The former said: "Can we visit Apple tomorrow? I believe it will be more real after a visit."

"Of course you are welcome." Tang Huan nodded with a smile, "If you two are not afraid of trouble, you can first visit my Zheru company, which is currently the largest software developer and enterprise solution provider in the personal computer market. Computer hardware and specific users, I believe it will inspire you more. If Bulan is free, you are welcome to visit."

The three of them didn't notice Tang Huan's intention to carry private goods, and they all nodded in agreement.

Everyone chatted happily, and time passed quickly. It wasn't until Feinstein arrived that they realized that it was getting dark outside, and hurriedly said goodbye.

"Tang, you're here too." Feinstein laughed. "I'm about to contact you to inform you of the result. You can choose whether to accept the invitation at will. If you are really worried, you can watch the White House case on TV tomorrow." press conference."

"I understand, thank you very much." Hearing the news, Tang Huan couldn't help feeling relieved. Of course, he wanted to go to the opening ceremony of the Moscow Olympics. This kind of excitement was only once.

In order to grasp the attitude of the White House more accurately, Tang Huan came to the office early the next day, turned on the TV and waited.

As Feinstein said, when a reporter asked how the White House viewed the Soviet Union’s frequent invitations to celebrities from all walks of life in the United States to attend the opening ceremony after the Moscow Olympics was boycotted, the spokesperson answered succinctly, It is just a non-governmental exchange activity, and the White House will not interfere.

"Political tricks are often just a way of expressing one's position." Tang Huan muttered to himself, and turned off the TV casually.

Humber, Quest, and Bulan arrived as scheduled. Tang Huan showed them around, and naturally took them to EA for a walk. Signed the document for the purchase of 40% of Luen Mei's shares.

This made the three of them secretly shocked. The ability of emerging technology companies to attract money is so strong that they can even counterattack traditional established companies.

Just as Tang Huan was about to send them to Apple, Christina came happily, "Tang, your private jet has been refitted and is ready for use. Let's go to Seattle right away." (To be continued)
