Chapter 1416 Chapter 15013 Begonia Fruit Company

Ye Yuze only knew that his son was capable, but he did not know that his son's angel fund had already invested in many projects in the United States, including Apple, led by Steve Jobs.

Ye Feng seems to have a natural acumen in the field of electronic technology, so his two largest investments were spent on such companies.

The first one is Haitangguo, and the second one is Junken Mechanical and Electrical. To be honest, these two companies are gold-eating beasts, and current investments are burning money. But Xiaoye Feng showed extraordinary courage and courage in this regard.

The insurance company's business was developing very well, and after the investment company was established, Ye Feng transferred Zha Hongying to serve as president.

Cha Hongying's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, that is, he is more than successful in maintaining his achievements and insufficient in pioneering. Investment companies need this kind of family care the most. Anyway, every big investment needs to be reviewed by Ye Feng. Normally, Cha Hongying only needs to take care of her family.

Moreover, although the amount of funds in the several businesses that Zha Hongying independently operated was small, they were all running well, and the current profits are very stable. Compared with Ye Feng's great opening and closing, the two of them can be considered a very good partner.

Today, Begonia Company's biggest competitor is Microsoft, but Begonia Company has its own advantages in many aspects, and Microsoft's Windows 2.0.3 system has many overlapping technologies with Begonia.

To a discerning eye, it is obvious plagiarism. For this reason, the two companies have been engaged in a six-year lawsuit. But in the end, Haitangguo lost the lawsuit.

There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that legal workers have never been involved in various new technologies in emerging industries, so they cannot define them at all.

Although the lawsuit was lost, the Begonia Fruit Company was not discouraged and maintained the right to continue traceability.

On August 6, 1997, Microsoft used $150 million to purchase Apple's non-voting stock in exchange for Apple dropping its lawsuit against Microsoft for copyright infringement and having Internet Explorer built into every subsequent Macintosh. The two companies finally reached a settlement.

Speaking of this crab apple company, it is actually quite legendary. In 1976, founder Steve Jobs successfully persuaded Woz to do sales with him while assembling machines. Another friend of theirs, Ron Wayne, also joined. The three formed Haitang Guoguo Computer Company on April 1, 1976[5]. In May of the same year, Jobs negotiated with a local computer store, The Byte Shop, where the owner, Paul Terrell, ordered 50 devices, which later became known as Crabapples, and paid $500 per unit upon delivery.

After Jobs obtained the order, he sold his valuables to raise funds, and persuaded the store credit manager of Cramer Electronics, a large electronic parts distributor, to provide the parts first and pay later. In the end, Jobs successfully completed the transaction.

In January 1977, Haitangguo Computer Company was officially registered as "Begonia Computer Company". In the same year, Woz had successfully designed the Apple II, which was more advanced than the Apple I. Jobs wanted to expand the company and borrow money from banks, but Wayne withdrew because of the psychological shadow caused by the failed venture.

On December 12, 1980, Crabapple Company went public. In less than an hour, all 4.6 million shares were sold out, and the market closed that day at $29 per share.

Based on this closing price, Crabapple Company’s top executives have produced 4 billionaires and more than 40 millionaires.

At the time they attracted more capital than any IPO since Ford went public in 1956 and created more millionaires than any company in history. Within five years, the company entered the Fortune Global 500, which was the fastest record at the time.

In 1985, Jobs received the National Medal of Technology awarded by President Reagan. Jobs insisted on bundling Apple computer software and hardware, which prevented Begonia Computer from becoming popular.

In addition, the blue giant IBM also began to wake up and launched personal computers to seize a large market. As a result, the computers developed by Jobs failed miserably. The general manager and directors blamed the failure on Chairman Jobs.

In April 1985, the board of directors of Crabapple Company revoked Jobs' management power. Jobs tried to regain the power several times but failed. On September 17, 1985, he angrily resigned as chairman of Apple and sold his shares in Apple. Later, NeXTComputer company was created.

Soon, the Windows 95 system was born, and Haitangguo Computer's market share plummeted, almost on the verge of collapse.

It can be said that the rise and fall of Crabapple Company is the personal ups and downs of founder Steve Jobs. Since Jobs quit, Crabapple Company has been silent for almost ten years. Almost always suppressed by Microsoft.

Until last year, the NeXT Computer company founded by Jobs was acquired by Haitang Guoguo Company, and he returned to the company as chairman again.

Ye Fengzhen chose to inject capital into Begonia Fruit Company at this time. After Jobs returned as chairman, he refocused on the research and development of new products. And insist on developing its own independent operating system.

You must know that the company has been in a low ebb in recent years and is itself strapped for funds. So Jobs began to raise funds on a large scale. Ye Feng's angel investment was naturally one of the companies that Jobs applied for.

Pan American Insurance has already been listed on the market and is one of the famous insurance companies in the United States. Although it is not yet comparable to those behemoths in China. But once the European business expands, it will definitely have the strength to compete with them.

This must be attributed to Mary, the general manager. I have to say that she is a very capable woman. She has given up everything in her life and put all her energy into her career. There are not many such people in the United States. .

If according to Ye Yuze's wishes, Mary was really fired that time, it would probably be at least ten years before the company could reach this scale. This still refers to the absence of accidents.

When Jobs approached Zha Hongying for financing, Zha Hongying was opposed to it. But for such a big matter, she naturally didn't dare to make her own decision.

After Ye Feng found out, he took out 30 billion US dollars without hesitation. For this reason, Cha Hongying argued with Ye Feng for half a month.

Today, Zha Hongying is really like an old hen, and Ye Feng's company is her chickens, and she is really protecting them with her own.

But there was nothing she could do about what Ye Feng insisted on. In the end, I gave him the money obediently.

The reason why Ye Feng dared to make such a big move was because Jobs promised to give him 20% of the shares.

If it had been in the past, it would have been great if he could have given him %5 of the 30 billion. The reason why Jobs dared to do this was because he wanted to fight against the odds.

If it works, it will soar into the sky; if it doesn't work, it will completely become someone else's processing factory. No longer has its own independent brand. The two gamblers hit it off immediately.
