Chapter 257 55 One Vote Veto
If Claire and Jobs disregarded each other's positions and interests, they still had a pleasant chat.

"You're crazy! You asked me to unconditionally release Thain Capital's shares in Apple just for a research and development center!" Claire stopped drinking when he heard Jobs' words, and threw the bottle in his hand on the side.

Seeing Claire's fuss, Jobs couldn't help complaining: "God, Claire, I'm asking you again for policies to try to convince Apple's top management and the board of directors that I don't own the company alone! And the shares are only for you. Release 1%, this will not affect your interests, okay?"

When Claire heard Jobs' high-sounding words, she couldn't help but slandered inwardly. It wasn't because Claire Holdings and Thain Capital had too much influence in Apple's board of directors!
Recently, Jobs had already planned to seek medical treatment because of his health, but Jobs didn't want Apple to fall into the hands of capital after he left, so he had to bargain with Claire.

You must know that if Apple buys back the 1% of Claire's shares at a fair price, it will be enough for them to do a lot of things~
And Claire didn't believe that Apple only talked to him if he wanted to buy back some of the shares!
If Apple really collects about 2.5% of its shares, it will definitely have an impact on the interests of their shareholders!

What if Apple's "option award"?

If Apple does this, maybe a large number of company executives will defect.

Although Claire has no idea of ​​Apple's intervention~
But this is based on the premise that the other party has not violated his interests!

Jobs saw Claire's face turning red and green for a while. Jobs couldn't help but glance at his watch and whispered: "Claire! If you are willing, I can give you the position of honorary director!"

Claire immediately rolled her eyes when she heard Jobs' words. Such a bogus thing is useless.

"Hey! Joe, I'm not here to talk business with you."

"But I am willing to give Apple a chance for a smooth transition."

"I can cash out 2.5% of the shares at one time and leave the market, but I need a director's veto right! The right to choose the location of the R&D center and a veto right!"

After talking about this, Claire saw that Jobs' complexion started to look a little ugly, Claire patted Jobs on the back and said, "Don't be nervous, my old man, you know I've been bullish on Apple since 08, I just need to be correct. My interests are guaranteed. I am optimistic about you, but it does not mean that I am optimistic about your successor! I can give you a statement agreement. If one day I hold less than 5% of Apple’s shares, this one-vote veto will be void. !"

When Jobs heard Claire's words, he asked unkindly: "Damn it! These short-sighted minority shareholders, how many shares do you hold in us!"

"I'll give you the shares at a fair price. If you want, you can sign the agreement today!"

Jobs sat across from Claire and hesitated for a long time before answering: "I don't care, I need to go back to have a meeting, and you have to tell me how many shares you hold in us!!!"

Claire saw that Jobs was already in a hurry, and Claire put his hanging heart in his stomach.

He first took a big sip of water before slowly opening his mouth and said, "I can show you the shareholding prospectus of Thain Capital on the day you retire."

Apple's building in Silicon Valley looks very technological, but it makes Claire regret that Jobs is not with him, but he and Steve Chen are allowed to hang out in the building.

"I don't know how angry you, a damn capitalist, are with our poor Jobs."

When Claire heard Chen Shijun teasing herself, she replied seriously: "Although I am a loyal supporter of Jobs in the outside world! But in the end, I am a businessman. There is no reason why I should respect him when I suffer. Not a fool."

When Chen Shijun heard Claire's words, he nodded in approval.

There are many girls in Apple's building in Silicon Valley, but some boys and technicians seldom see it. Chen Shijun saw this scene and said seriously: "I don't think it's a problem for you to have a veto. If he retires It's really hard to believe that this company can still guarantee his creativity as always."

"But how much Apple do you own? I'd love to know, too."

When Claire heard Chen Shijun's words, she made a gesture with a mysterious expression on her face,
"6"

"Go to hell, if you only hold 6% of the shares, I will sell you my Google shares!"

When Claire heard what Chen Shijun said, she curled her lips in disdain: "Blow it up, you just have to dig a hole in your backyard for him to bury the shares of Google!"

After saying this, Claire didn't wait for Chen Shijun to say anything, but walked towards the outside of the building on his own.

Claire, who was standing at the door of the Apple Building, looked up again at the Apple Building behind her and sighed softly.

Maybe it's the first time, maybe it's the last time.

After all, Apple is nothing without Jobs.

As for how many shares he holds in Apple, Claire doesn't know, but the text message sent to him by Michael Barry makes it very clear.

[Boss, 5% shareholding is a reasonable standard for our risk control of Apple. If it is lower than this average value, there is no way to protect our interests if Apple changes people or changes policies in the future. 】

It was because of this text message that Claire asked for a veto. If the board of directors approves this strategy, he can eat Apple to death.

But Claire won't suffer if the other party disagrees, anyway, he's going to decide on the first Apple R&D center in China!

Chen Shijun and Claire are just like ordinary people shuttling through the streets of Silicon Valley~
The endless emergence of new Internet business forms makes them two people who are engaged in the Internet feel a little confused~
"We don't know yet whether they can make a profit. These Internet companies are popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain." Chen Shijun pointed to the "Entrepreneurship Garage" not far away and said with a worried look.

But Claire replied not at all surprised: "It's normal, the housing market funds are outflowing, and the money must have a place to go, but this is also a good thing, at least your chance has come again, isn't it?"

When Chen Shijun heard Claire's words, he nodded in approval and left this very famous entrepreneurial street in Silicon Valley in 09.
