Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon
Chapter 61: Apple
Everyone woke up from the Hilton Hotel the next day and was about to go to Silicon Valley by car. When Zhong Chuhong saw Li Zhiwen, his face was a little red, and he deliberately hid away from him, while Li Zhiwen secretly smiled.
Silicon Valley, located to the south of the San Francisco Bay Area, a metropolitan area in northern California, is another name for the Santa Clara Valley where high-tech businesses gather. Silicon Valley was the first place where silicon-based semiconductor chips were researched and produced. Therefore, many people called it Silicon Valley, and the name was also spread out, and the destiny of Santa Clara Valley disappeared.
Silicon Valley is the kingdom of the electronics industry and the computer industry. Although other high-tech areas in the United States are constantly developing and growing, Silicon Valley is still the pioneer and center of high-tech innovation and development in the United States. The headquarters of many high-tech companies in later generations are here, such as Intel, Apple, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and later well-known high-tech companies are here.
It was the gathering of these happy technology companies that turned an orchard into many towns.
The taxi drove for about an hour and a half before arriving in Silicon Valley. Everyone got out of the car and strolled on the street.
At this time, Silicon Valley was far from being like that of later generations. There were many high-rise buildings and many companies gathered in office buildings. At this time, it was still a little deserted, with trees planted around the avenue, and the nearby houses were separated by two or three big cats and kittens. On both sides.
Not much to say, Li Zhiwen brought Zhong Chuhong and others to the 2066, Christe's home, of Jobs.
Apple was founded in 1976. At the beginning of its establishment, this company mainly developed and sold personal computers. Apple’s Apple II was launched in April 1977. The Apple II was the first personal computer in human history. Computers, it makes personal computers no longer dumb, think about how awesome this achievement is. So since the second generation of Apple was made, it is not just money to invest in Apple, and Li Zhiwen came here to pass His weak computer knowledge convinced Jobs, thus achieving the goal of investing in Apple.
It would be okay in the early days of Apple's founding. After the second generation of Apple was produced by Jobs, it would be impossible. Jobs is not an npc, he is a thorough businessman.
And in 1978, Sequoia Capital, located on Shashan Road, had already invested in Apple, so Li Zhiwen must not be able to get shares by relying on money alone. Apple does not need capital now, he only needs to launch his own products. , And Li Zhiwen can only conquer Steve Jobs through this vision of leading the world for forty years, so as to achieve his investment aspirations.
And Jobs, Steve Gary Wozniak, and Ronald Gerald Wayne are still a start-up team at this time, and the office is in the garage of Jobs’ home.
Although Apple has received a large amount of venture capital from Sequoia Capital last year, he invested all the money in the upgrade and sales of Apple's second generation, instead of thinking about changing Apple's office location.
Li Zhiwen knocked on the garage door, but there was no response for a long time. The owner who wanted to come here was doing some special experiment. When Li Zhiwen wanted to knock again, the garage door rumbled open from the inside.
What greeted the eyes was a man with an unswerving face, a shaggy beard, and a raunchy. Even Li Zhiwen could smell a strange smell. This man was Steve Jobs.
"Hello, sir, what can you do?" Jobs asked.
Li Zhiwen didn't even come up and told Jobs that he would invest in his company. That would only get his rejection. Instead, he asked: "Hello, I heard people say that you can buy personal computers here. Can I take a tour?" "
"Oh, yes, of course, we are doing experiments." Although Qiaobusi looked at Li Zhiwen's Asian face a bit strange, but seeing Cao Wenyu and others' tall bodyguards did not doubt the identity of Li Zhiwen's boss. .
Jobus invited Li Zhiwen into the garage. The first thing Li Zhiwen saw was the second-generation Apple TV, which was shaped like a display with a huge keyboard underneath.
Jobs was a little triumphant, and said, "This is the first personal computer invented by Apple. I'll show you how to operate it." After that, he started to operate the second generation of Apple.
Li Zhiwen is very satisfied with the second generation of Apple. Although it cannot be compared with later generations, this Apple computer can be said to be the most advanced personal computer in the world.
The second generation of Apple sold millions of units in the 1980s, and Apple also relied on this computer to become a god.
In Li Zhiwen’s impression, at the end of next year, Apple’s public offering was listed. In less than an hour, more than 4 million shares were sold out, and four billionaires were created. Become a Fortune 500 in the world.
But Li Zhiwen can't show a satisfied look, otherwise how to guide Joebus, and then attract his attention, so as to achieve the purpose of investment.
"How is it, sir, isn't it all right?" Jobs asked triumphantly.
"It looks good, but there are many areas that need to be improved, and the effect is not particularly satisfactory." Li Zhiwen said.
"What, how is it possible, you don't understand personal computers, this is the most perfect work in the world." Joebus retorted.
"No, no, sir, it's still lacking and needs to be improved." Li Zhiwen said, and then he told Steve Jobs the improvement plan.
In fact, how Li Zhiwen understands personal computers, he just told Joebus about AppleLisa and AppleMac, which were later launched by Apple. These are all Apple products, and they are also the most suitable for Apple, but he does not have this yet. Concept, so I feel that Li Zhiwen is too powerful.
When talking about the most important thing, Li Zhiwen suddenly stopped.
And Jobs's brighter and brighter eyes suddenly darkened, some scratching his head, feeling like he couldn't get up and down.
Jobus looked at Li Zhiwen and asked, "Sir, why don't you talk about it, keep talking."
Li Zhiwen smiled slightly and said: "Hello, introduce yourself. I am Li Zhiwen, a Hong Kong native. I saw your product in Hong Kong. I am here this time to invest in your company."
Li Zhiwen’s words calmed Joe Buss down~www.readwn.com~ It seemed that this man was not here to buy a computer, but to invest, Joe Buss thought.
"I'm sorry Mr. Li, our company has no plans to raise funds at the moment." As he said, he looked up at Li Zhiwen.
Li Zhiwen said: "That's too regrettable, Mr. Joebus, I am very happy to have a conversation with you, we will see you next time." After Li Zhiwen walked out of the garage, Zhong Chuhong and others also followed him.
Seeing Li Zhiwen’s actions, Qiaobusi was a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Mr. Li, this is the case. We accepted the investment from Sequoia Capital last year. They have the right to lead the investment in our company. If our company needs In the case of financing, it is necessary to communicate with Sequoia Capital. Mr. Li, wait a moment, and I will make an appointment with Tang Valen of Sequoia Capital."
"Okay, please." Li Zhiwen said.
Seeing Li Zhiwen's agreement, Qiaobusi left the garage and went to the room to call Tang Warren, while Li Zhiwen wandered around in the garage.
When Don Warren got a call from Jobs, he rushed to Jobs’s house from Sequoia Capital on Shashan Road.
Valendin attaches great importance to Apple. He thinks this is the most successful investment of Sequoia Capital since its establishment. Although he dislikes Jobs's dress and appearance, there is no conflict in his optimistic view of Jobs' talents.
So when he knew that Jobs was preparing to run a new round of financing, he was very satisfied, but when he knew that the target of the financing of Jobs was an Asian, he felt that he was deceived, but he had Apple's. Leading the right to vote.
Tang Valen will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, especially when the second generation of Apple is open for sale in North America and Europe, although the sales in the Far East are not very good.
