Chapter 42： Apple shares in hand

In Apple's conference room, the atmosphere at this time was very solemn. Everyone didn't speak, and they were all looking at Mike Markkula. After all, Jobs, Wozniak, and Roveen are partners who have experienced starting a business in a garage together. Moreover, Bao Zixuan did not want to buy their shares, and as an angel investor, Mike Markkula has accomplished his mission very well. It is time to introduce capital that can grow and develop the company.

Wozniak: "Mike, that's what happened about Heiyun's shareholding. He said what Bao Zixuan said to Mike Markkula." But he didn't think that Bao Zixuan didn't want to dilute their shares. Afraid of losing the entrepreneurial passion to speak out.

After all, it is unavoidable to sacrifice shares now. Apple computers without Heiyun office software are just a big toy at best, so they can only sacrifice angel investors.

Mike - Markkula: "I understand what you mean. As an angel investor, I can withdraw, but I hope to get the dollars I deserve. Without me, Apple can't grow so fast. I hope to be able to cooperate with Heiyun. people to talk to."

Jobs: "It's no problem. Tomorrow morning, the package of Heiyun will come to the company to discuss the details of cooperation. You can negotiate with him first. If you don't reach an agreement, we are considering the next step."

Bao Zixuan returned to the hotel after having dinner with Joe Johnson, without even drinking. After all, drinking alcohol is not allowed in the United States if you are not over 21 years old. He didn't want to be caught by unfamiliar clients.

The next morning, Bao Zixuan came to Apple, and at this time in Wozniak's office, Bao Zixuan and Mike Markkula sat opposite each other. After a few chats, the two entered the topic.

Mike Markkula: "You're younger than I thought, bag. Apple was originally an investment for me, but since contacting these young people, I have exuded a passion for work. To be honest, I don’t really want to quit. With the work attitude of these people, and the addition of Black Cloud, Apple will definitely be able to develop rapidly. So I thought about it overnight, I can sell most of the shares to you, I need Keep some of it. How about it!"

Bao Zixuan: "It's not impossible, but if you want to keep the shares, the price may have to drop to a certain extent. After all, I will lose a lot of interests to ensure the part of the equity you keep. How much do you want to keep?"

Mike - Markkula: "Of course, I hope to keep 5% to 10% of the shares, it depends on the price you offer."

Bao Zixuan: "I don't want to waste my energy on endless business negotiations. Having that time in the lab and in front of the computer can create more value. You now own 30% of Apple. I want to 25%, how much money you said can be transferred to me."

Mike Macula: "I am also a technician, and I understand what you think. I will sell you 25% of the shares for $5 million."

Bao Zixuan: "You are sure that an apple is worth $20 million."

Mike Markkula: "It wasn't certain, but with the combined efforts of Black Cloud and Apple's founders, it will soon exceed that number."

Bao Zixuan: "Okay! You are right. As long as everyone works hard, nothing can't be accomplished; nothing can't be achieved; and nothing is worth it. We should believe that Steve and the others are geniuses. Maybe in the future Apple The company can be worth 200 billion US dollars, who knows. I agree, happy cooperation!" After saying that, he extended his hand to Mike-Markula, and Markula also reached out and held it together.

Everyone is anxiously waiting in the conference room for the result of the negotiation between Bao Zixuan and Markkula, because if they can't reach an agreement, all the plans will be overturned and everyone's shares will be diluted, which is related to everyone. vital interests.

Mike-Makula said to everyone: "I and Bao have reached an agreement on the shares I hold. I will transfer 25% of Apple's shares to Bao, and he will be one of us in the future." applaud.

At this time, Bao Zixuan asked the lawyer introduced by Larry Brown to start drafting the contract.

Bao Zixuan wants to sign two contracts, one is the equity transfer agreement with Mike Markkula, the other is the software licensing agreement and loan agreement signed with Apple, the issue of voting rights and the support that Heiyun wants to provide to Apple.

There are several main aspects. Bao Zixuan acquired 25% of Apple’s equity in Mike-Makula for $5 million, and injected $5 million into Apple for development in the form of loans. If Apple is unable to repay, the $5 million will automatically change. 10% stake in Apple. Dilution from other shareholders' shares. Black Cloud Office has licensed Apple to use its software for $10 per computer. And open part of the source code to Apple for rewriting part of the program according to the Apple system. It can be better integrated with the Apple system.

After signing the contract, Bao Zixuan handed the prepared checks to Mike Markkula and Jobs respectively. After everyone had a simple working meal in the restaurant, Bao Zixuan was ready to go back to school.

Heiyun has left two employees to contact Apple, and they want to implant the Apple version of Heiyun office software in the next batch of Apple computers. After successfully investing in Apple and Microsoft, Bao Zixuan knew that history was changing slightly. According to normal development, these two investments alone can push him to the position of the world's top ten richest people.

In an apartment in Los Angeles, a tall and beautiful woman was sulking in the room. At this time, his manager answered the phone and came over and said, "Sharon, your audition passed, the second female lead in this play. The number is yours. You have to behave well!"

That's right, Bao Zixuan promised to invite the beautiful woman he met on the plane to dinner, but he was so excited that he forgot everything after negotiating with Apple, and Sharon Stone was still imagining which restaurant to go to for dinner! How to maintain a good relationship with this young rich man!

Sharon Stone's agent is a middle-aged woman This year is 45 years old and has been working in Hollywood for 20 years. A rich story. Looking at the expression of this girl as big as her own daughter, you know that it may be the boy she met on the plane that fascinated him! And the other party went out with several bodyguards, and he saw it with his own eyes at the airport. He wanted to persuade the little girl. said:

"Sharon, are you thinking about the boy you met on the plane? I advise you not to have such thoughts, it is very dangerous, you are in the rising stage of your career, too many scandals will reduce your popularity, the most important thing is You and the other party are not the same kind of people. You are a star in front of the general public, a darling under the spotlight. But among many rich people, it may be an item, a lover, or a plaything. Now you don’t have too many things Actual thoughts, focus on making the film well, then you are the real you.”

Sharon Stone: "I see, don't worry! It won't happen in the future."

Bao Zixuan didn't know that because a polite remark at that time would cause such a big trouble for a girl, this may be because the thinking of Easterners and Westerners is different!

At 9:30 p.m., Bao Zixuan and his group returned to Boston International Airport. Although they were a little tired, they were full of energy. Bao Zixuan said to everyone, "You've been working hard these days. Let's find a place to drink some wine. Relax. Just go to the Pink Restaurant."

"Long live the boss." At this time, everyone started to boo.

Zhang Zhan brought people in two cars. There were 7 people when they went there. Now only 5 people have returned. The other 2 people have to assist Apple to implant the software before they can come back. The game department picked them up at the California airport. Employees will have to work with LinkedIn there for a long time.
