"What?!" Jobs was surprised and said, "apple is going to buy my next company!"
"Yes, jobs. What Mr. Williams formally put forward at the meeting can't be wrong. Now the whole apple company knows it. I believe it won't be long before the American media will report it! In these two days, you should receive Apple's formal offer to you! OK, think about it. I'll hang up! "
When jobs heard this, he was silent. He unconsciously threw his mobile phone on the table, then walked to a gray sofa and sat down slowly. He looked at the white wall opposite in a daze. At this moment, his mind is full of thoughts!
Henry came home and thought carefully about what to do with jobs. Finally, he concluded that Apple needed a jobs. Because the key point is that Henry doesn't have time for Apple! The so-called "governing a big country is like cooking a small dish". To be able to govern from the top, jobs is just one of his many professional managers!
If you use it well and it's easy to use, you can continue to use it; If you don't use it well, if you use it to get in the way, kick it off immediately!
What's the big deal?
In a previous life, Apple bought next for $40 million. And that's a little bit of money for Henry!
The next day, apple formally launched a takeover request to next company, proposing to acquire next company with a total capital of 40 million US dollars, and hiring jobs as CEO of apple, with 1% share subscription right.
Jobs stayed up all night, and he kept thinking about whether to sell next company or not. At this time, when he received the acquisition request from apple, he was immediately surprised.
It's normal to buy next company with 40 million US dollars, because the situation of next company is very difficult now! But jobs never thought that Henry Williams would hire himself as Apple's CEO.
Jobs surprised at the same time, a long lost and violent excitement spontaneously!
Jobs didn't think about it at all. At the first time he received the news, he promised in his heart.
Next's major shareholders include jobs and canon.
When jobs had no money, he asked his Japanese partner canon for cash. As a result, we all know, Canon must have been ruined!
Canon invested 100 million US dollars in next company in 1989, 10-20 million US dollars in 1991 and 55 million US dollars in 1992. If you take jobs and other investors' money into account, the money invested in nxet alone is close to one billion dollars. But now, the market value of next is less than 40 million dollars. Henry's proposal of $40 million has been very generous. You know, after 1995, next company managed to make a profit. Even so, it was finally acquired by apple for $40 million!
The other shareholders of the next company are very happy to sell the next company. This bottomless company, I don't know how long it will lose money. Now they are thinking that they can sell it while they can. At least they can get back a little. Moreover, the price given by apple is very good!
Therefore, jobs did not go to persuade others, we all agreed to sell the company!
The first round of negotiation between apple and next company was settled, and next company fully accepted Apple's acquisition conditions.
Soon on December 30, 1994, the two sides signed the acquisition contract.
The major media reported in astonishing language: "Steve Jobs, the genius of science and technology, returned to apple and joined hands with Henry Williams to build apple. We can't imagine what Apple will become in the future!"
"Jobs is the most talented person in the 1970s and 1980s, and Henry Williams is the most talented person in the history of the United States. What kind of sparks will they collide with when they come together?"
"Apple will rise and conquer the world!"
“……”
For the first time, two people appeared on the cover of time magazine, Henry Williams and Steve Jobs, holding up an apple with a mouth missing in the middle, with the title: "apples held up by two giants!"
The analyst of Morgan bank expressed his opinion. He believed that "the return of jobs will bring a turn for the better for apple, and the existence of Henry Williams is like playing a stand-alone game - invincible! I'm sure we'll see a different apple soon! "
Wall Street analysts said: "if Apple had not delisted from the stock market, the current market value should be more than $10 billion!"
"At the moment, I think making a movie about Apple is going to sell a lot," the producer of a Hollywood film company told reporters
Netizens commented one after another.
"Steve Jobs is my idol. It's great that he can return to apple. I strongly support him!"
"Steve Jobs is really awesome. He created the era of personal computer! It was a pity that he was kicked out of apple. After nearly 10 years, he came back. I believe that he can bring us better products! "
"Henry Williams really has the vision to invite jobs back to Apple!"

Now, next has moved to Apple's headquarters, and all its employees are integrated into other departments. In his office, jobs looked at the design drawings of two products -- MacBook and IMAC.
"This, this is designed by Mr. Williams?" Jobs was surprised to ask an apple employee next to him.
"Yes, Mr. jobs! Mr. Williams made a formal presentation at a meeting a few days ago! "
"Oh, his design is really wonderful. It's perfect!" Jobs looked at the design, his eyes shining!
"Mr. jobs, Mr. Williams said he would come to the company to meet you at more than four o'clock in the afternoon!"
"OK, I see!" Jobs nodded, remembering the scene of his first meeting with Henry in 1986, when he and Henry Williams competed for Pixar Animation Studio owned by industrial light and magic. At that time, Henry Williams was only 12 years old. Unexpectedly, he and his 12-year-old child in the process of competing for Pixar, actually failed. Henry Williams thought that Pixar had great potential and was willing to pay several times the market value of Pixar. At that time, he still laughed at him. But later the facts proved that he was right!
At such a young age, the investment vision is so high, which is really admirable. In a twinkling of an eye, in 1995, Henry Williams had become the richest man in the world, but he was down to this point.
Jobs shook his head and gazed out of the window with a slight sigh!
(jobs: Well, people are so angry! The third watch is finally catching up, asking for tickets, subscribing and supporting
