   Chapter 1010 Recruiting Jobs "Four Thousand Words"

   three days later

   On the board of directors of Wang An Computer Company, Wang Lie, on behalf of his father, exercised the rights of chairman and major shareholder, and accepted a billion-dollar investment in Yang Chen's investment company in the United States.

Now that Wang An Computer's market value has dropped to about $3 billion, Yang Chen's $1 billion investment directly accounted for a quarter of the equity. In addition to the shares held by the previous boss Yang, Yang Chen now holds Wang An computer company shares, has more than half of the absolute control, more than Wang's father and son, become Wang An computer company's new major shareholder.

  The reason why Yang Chen used the name of an investment company in the United States to invest in shares is mainly to avoid censorship. As a technology company, Wang An Computer Company has strict foreign capital restrictions.

   Therefore, he can only directly control Wang An Computer Company through an investment company in the United States.

   Yang Chen has invested in a large number of well-known companies in various industries in the United States in the US investment company, including Microsoft, Apple and other technology companies. This time, he did not give up any of these technology shares, but took the opportunity to absorb a lot of shares.

   afternoon

   After the Wall Street Journal published the news, the stock price of Wang An Computer Company went from falling to rising. In just one hour, the market value returned to its peak.

At night

  In the case of the general decline in the stock prices of major companies, Wang An Computer thriving, and its market value directly exceeded 6 billion US dollars, which made people look surprised.

   When everyone in the outside world was talking about the news of Wang An Computer Company's change of ownership, Yang Chen was entertaining a person in a villa in New York, a big man who was kicked out by the company he founded.

  In the history of the United States, there have been many incidents in which founders were swept away by shareholders and directors after their companies were successfully listed. Among them, the most famous one was the later-famous Apple founder Steve Jobs.

   The life experience of this big man can be written into a book.

   He has the most pitiful life experience. This boss is an abandoned baby, yes, an abandoned baby abandoned by his parents.

   Steve Jobs, born in 1955 in San Francisco, California, USA, was abandoned by his parents when he was just born.

   However, fortunately, he met the most important adoptive parents in his life, Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs, a kind working couple.

  Like all the protagonists, this tech tycoon Steve Jobs has been associated with technology since he was a child. The place where he lived when he was a child was later the US technology center "Silicon Valley".

   In his early years, his neighbors were employees of Hewlett-Packard Company. Under the influence of these people, Jobs was obsessed with electronics since he was a child.

   At the age of nineteen, due to the financial difficulties of his adoptive parents, Jobs only attended university for one semester, and he resolutely dropped out of school.

   After taking a break from school, Jobs entered the then-famous Atari game company and became an ordinary employee of Atari.

   After that, the big guy became the first co-founder of a great company in the garage.

   In 1976, Jobs and his friends, Woz and Wayne, set up the Apple Company, which was well-known in later generations, in the underground garage.

  From 1976 to 1980, in just four years, this company established in an underground garage was successfully listed on the exchange, thus creating four billionaires and dozens of millionaires in one fell swoop.

   Jobs, who was only 25 years old, became the youngest billionaire at the time with his own efforts. His life was as amazing as it was open.

   However, God seems to be disgusted by the success of this big man, and let reality give him a blow.

  Apple's new CEO, a manager who was personally invited to Apple by Steve Jobs, said the great saying because of Steve Jobs, "Do you want to sell sugar water all your life, or do you want to change the world with me?"

   was the youngest ever CEO of PepsiCo, Sculley, because of what Jobs said, he joined the fast-growing Apple company.

   Sculley, who was personally invited by Steve Jobs to be the CEO of Apple, because the two had different ideas, and then personally kicked Jobs out of Apple. After Jobs left, another founder of Apple also sold his shares and left.

  The three founders of Apple, one left before Apple went public, and the other two who did not get along with the new CEO resolutely left.

  A company lacks a founder in the growth stage, which is not only the tragedy of the founder, but also the tragedy of the company.

   As a later generation, Yang Chen is very aware of how powerful Jobs is.

   Therefore, after he took control of Wang An Computer, he contacted Jobs as soon as possible. As a shareholder of Apple, when other shareholders and management asked Jobs to leave, he personally was powerless.

   Besides, Jobs' personality.

  To be honest, Jobs's character is really not very popular, but as long as there are great people, there are always some things that are incompatible with others, so Yang Chen can also understand.

   As a shareholder of Apple, Jobs still has a good impression of Yang Chen, because Yang Chen has always maintained his supportive attitude when he was in the most difficult time, and it has never changed.

  This kind of unreserved trust was something he had never encountered before, and Jobs was very grateful for it.

  So, after receiving Yang Chen's call, Jobs immediately put down his work and rushed over in person.

   After resigning from Apple, Job did not become decadent. He sold some of the Apple shares he held and cashed out hundreds of millions of dollars to set up a computer animation company.

   This company, founded by Jobs for the second time, later became a well-known 3D computer animation company, and was acquired by Disney when it entered the 21st century.

   Jobs also became Disney's largest individual shareholder.

  The great man, no matter where he goes, he can do something.

   Whether it is Apple or the newly established computer animation company, Yang Chen is very interested.

   The inland animation of later generations is more than a star and a half worse than Europe, America and island countries. If he can become a shareholder in Jobs' animation company, it will be a good supplement to Asia Entertainment.

  Yang Chen asked Jobs to sit down, and while making tea, he greeted him again and again: "Steve, it's nice to meet you, how have you been recently? How are you?"

   Jobs smiled wryly: "It's a bit bad, my new animation company is a headache."

After speaking, Jobs smiled and said: "I just saw Yang in the car that you bought Wang An Computer for a billion dollars, God, Yang, you are really too rich, the New York Times has called you a The new computer king."

   Yang Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know how to use technology."

   Jobs shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have technology, as long as you have money."

   For the capitalists, Jobs can be said to hate the capitalists. Even after so long, he is still a little unhappy.

   This is also the reason why he did not accept any investment from investors after he founded the animation company, and invested all his own funds.

  Yang Chen didn't care, and said lightly: "Don't forget, you are also a rich man now, one of the evil capitalists."

   "Uh..." When Jobs heard this, he was suddenly choked up.

   Indeed, he is now worth hundreds of millions, but he is not a member of the evil capitalist. Thinking of this, Jobs immediately shut up.

after awhile

  Yang Chen said something that made Steve Jobs absolutely down.

   "Steve, do you want to tinker with your animation company for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world with me?"

  Jobs: "…"

  Mom sells batches, this sentence is very familiar.

   Soon, Jobs couldn't help but think of the words he said to Sculley when he dug into the corner of Pepsi, "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world with me?"

   For a while, Jobs's face was blue and white for a while.

   Obviously, he mistakenly thought that Yang Chen was mocking him.

   Jobs was a little displeased: "Yang, are you trying to mock me with this?"

   In other words, the person sitting opposite him is Yang Chen. If it was someone else, even the President of the United States, he would shake his face and get up and leave.

   In the nearly two years since he left Apple, Apple did not have any problems because of the departure of the two founders, but instead ushered in a short-term glory.

   Therefore, even though he knew that Yang Chen was not the kind of person who likes to ridicule others, he still felt uncomfortable subconsciously.

"Why do you think I'm mocking you, know that I said that no matter what decision you make, it's right, and I will fully support it. In my opinion, Apple's loss of you is their biggest loss. Maybe Apple The company looks good now, but I think this kind of good is only temporary and not permanent."

   Hearing Yang Chen's words, Jobs' face couldn't help softening.

   Jobs was a little puzzled: "Then, what do you mean, Yang?"

   Yang Chen doesn't own much shares in Apple. It should be said that Yang Chen's investment companies have strict share restrictions on technology stocks, with a maximum of 25%.

   And Yang Chen only held 20% of Apple's shares. With this share, there was no way for him to return to the company, which made him wonder what the other party meant.

   Under Jobs' puzzled look, Yang Chen said, "Wang An Computer, I wonder if you are interested in leading a company that is bigger and more potential than Apple?"

   "What?" Jobs stood up a little complacently, his face full of disbelief: "You said let me lead Wang An Computer?"

  Yang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it is to lead Wang An Computer Company. As long as you are willing, I can give you all the rights you want, and I will not interfere in any of your decisions."

   Jobs was still in disbelief after hearing this: "Aren't you kidding me?"

  Yang Chen: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to joke around?"

   Jobs took a serious look at Yang Chen, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he immediately sat back in his seat and fell silent.

   To be honest, he didn't think that Yang Chen invited him here for this matter, to lead Wang An Computer, to say that he was not interested would be absolutely false.

  Compared with Wang An Computer, Apple is too weak. You must know that Wang An Computer at this time can exist tit-for-tat with IBM, and Apple is a few streets behind Wang An Computer in this regard.

   Both Apple and Microsoft now need to rely on IBM to survive. Once IBM cancels the cooperation with the two companies, it is hard to say how long the two companies will survive.

   In addition, Wang An Computer's talent and technical reserves are far from what Apple can match. It can make IBM envy the talent and technical background, which shows how powerful Wang An Computer is.

   For a time, Jobs couldn't help but struggle.

   Boss Yang will not joke, and there is no need to lie to him. When the other party invested in Apple, he made a promise to him, and until he left Apple, he always stood behind him unswervingly.

  Since the other party said that he would lead Wang An Computer and would not interfere in his management and restrict his rights, then he would definitely do what he said.

   In this way, after joining Wang An Computer, he can still realize his dream.

   But if he joins Wang An Computer, it also means that he will give up Apple forever. Jobs still has feelings for the Apple he founded, and he even thinks that he can go back that day and continue to run Apple.

  Yes, just keep going back to run Apple.

  In Jobs' view, Sculley was wrong, and Apple will need him back one day.

   Seeing that Jobs was hesitant, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Is there any problem? Could it be that the stage of Wang An Computer is not enough for you to show off?"

   "No" Jobs shook his head and said, "I know Wang An Computer's strength. To be honest, I am very willing to join such a company."

   Yang Chen asked curiously, "What makes you hesitate?"

   "Apple" Jobs didn't hide anything, and said straightly: "I believe that one day, Apple will still need me, that is the company I founded, I"

   Before Jobs finished speaking, Yang Chen immediately raised his hand and interrupted: "I understand, I can promise you, when Apple needs you to go back, I can promise you to leave Wang An Computer."

   "Really?" Jobs looked at Yang Chen somewhat unexpectedly, and at the same time felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

  Yang Chen smiled and said: "Don't forget, I am also a shareholder of Apple. If one day you can lead Apple to glory again, this will also be beneficial to me."

   "Uh..." Seeing Yang Chen's standard capitalist smile, for some reason, Jobs was a little moved, and took it back again.

   He really forgot about this. The other party seems to like investing in technology companies. Whether it is Wang An Computer, IBM, or Apple and Microsoft, this guy holds a lot of shares.

   Twenty percent of the standard shares, can this be less?

   This gave Jobs the feeling that no matter where he went, he could not escape the fate of working for Boss Yang.

   "The evil capitalist, the abominable richest man in the world"

  Jobs couldn't help feeling envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart. Rich people are already very hateful, and people like Yang Chen, the world's richest man, can't help but want to swallow him alive.

   There is no way, to use an exaggerated word, even if a single hair falls off of Boss Yang's body, it can make a person full.

   Such a person can be envied, envied and hated. . .
