Chapter 30 Preparation(1/2)

Even the incident with Wall Street and American financial institutions made them feel very exciting.

It is really hard to talk about these guys in Silicon Valley, especially the founders of the companies, having a good impression of Wall Street in the West, the venture capital investors on the Dunes Road, or the real Wall Street.

Not to mention the opportunities that were plucked by Wall Street, such as when it was launched.

Just say that from the day they started their own business, Wall Street will not stop penetrating them.

Or for some entrepreneurs, they think this will be an honor and opportunity. If the company they founded themselves can be favored by Wall Street, to a certain extent, it means success, because it represents the affirmation of those guys on Wall Street, so it is also an opportunity to cash out.

But for most entrepreneurs who are determined to start a career, the Yahoo example is enough to alert them.

Yahoo, which was originally a signature in the Internet field, has performed more and more unbearable in the past two years. It is completely driven by interests and only focuses on short-term interests. As a result, Yahoo's performance in the past two years is much worse than before.

Moreover, in this case, there is no possibility of reversal.

If we consider some of the traditions in the United States' not-so-long history, namely the traditional elites in the east, and the original local bullies in the west, plus the rebellious spirit that Silicon Valley elites have...

Whether for Jobs or Page and Brin, such an opportunity is simply too good.

Originally, you could only have various breakthroughs and channels to grasp us. Now, Hum, you finally have the opportunity to kneel on the ground and sing to conquer.

I have been waiting for a long time and finally waited until today. I have been dreaming for a long time and finally had the opportunity to realize my dream. So, they really feel that it is very exciting!

Feng Yiping felt their emotions, which was very good!

"So, what about the risks of this investment?" Jobs asked.

The phone in his pocket vibrated again.

This time, he didn't even look at it, and turned off the phone immediately - although he was already using an iPhone, what he brought today was not. Before that, the only chance to see him show his real phone was the president of the operator Xingele.

Opportunity is a good opportunity, optimism is optimism, but he is still very cautious.

Without it, I was too impulsive when I was young, and only one share was left to buy Apple shares. So my current net worth is not only incomparable to Bill Gates's untamed guy, but also incomparable to the three juniors in front of me. This $1 billion investment must be cautious.

"After all, it is the risk of finally cashing out our contract. One is that some banks may not be willing to cash out the original contract, and the other, some banks may go bankrupt,"

"But don't worry, based on the current situation, our problem is that if we go long, it is a matter of making several times more profitable,"

That means at least there will be profits, that's good!

"How did Wall Street get to where it is today?" Page asked.

In any case, the financial field is a field that the entire United States is proud of, and it is the traditional elite field of the United States. But now it seems that there are such big problems in this field.

"There are too many reasons, but the most important thing is greed, greed that is detached from reality."

"We develop a product based on the needs of users. After it is developed, we will consider the user's feelings and keep making various adjustments with the user as the center."

"But they have only one purpose, which is to make their performance bigger, because only by making their performance bigger can those banks get more fees and they can earn more commissions," he said.

"But they don't care at all about what the foundation for their big shots are,"

"For example, their foundation may be like this,"

"Page and I were betting at a casino in Las Vegas. Page has been winning before, so this time, he beat 10 million, and then Brin thought, Page would still win, but you think it should be my turn to win, so you bet with him, 50 million, buy me win, odds are three to one,"

"Then, Gates, who had been watching the fun, jumped out. He pushed 100 million and bet that you two would win in the bet, Bollinger."

"Well, he really would do that," Jobs interrupted.

Although it is the truth, it sounds like Feng Yiping and the other three find it funny.

These two masters have been like this over the years, just like the East and West of the United States, and always dislike each other.

Feng Yiping smiled, "Just go on like this, and finally, the bet associated with this bet can finally roll to billions like a snowball, but its foundation is just a bet worth 10 million between me and Peppa,"

"So that's it," Jobs nodded.

"So, Wall Street has always been really playing digital games?" Page said.

Feng Yiping spread his hands again.

Isn't that the case? But they play so much and the profit is so high. There are too many people in this world who are worried that Wall Street will not take them to play.

However, although the reflection arc is relatively long, this kind of game similar to drumming and passing flowers always has a time when the drum stops, and then it will be no longer fun.

But all that has nothing to do with them.

"This is such a large-scale financial crisis," Jobs was playing with the water cup again, but it was much easier than at the beginning.

"You know a lot about this. Feng, what consequences do you think will be there on the day when the crisis breaks out? Oh, no, what preparations do you think we should make in order to not be affected in this crisis?"

This was the first time that Jobs felt that it was not easy to ask the right question.

This situation does not occur when investing in other projects because they can consult their own financial advisors. However, this time, because Feng Yiping repeatedly emphasized that they strictly keep their financial advisors confidential.

"This is also the reason why I called everyone here today. For a company, in such a crisis, it is naturally the most cash in hand, and the most secure."

"Of course I believe that with the launch of the iPhone in a few days and the subsequent launch of the iPhone, Jobs, you have prepared this epoch-making product that has been developed for so long, even in the financial crisis, it will definitely bring Apple a lot of cash flow."

"Haha," Jobs smiled.

He has both confidence and confidentiality and has become a habit. Even though he is also himself, he has explained this situation to Feng Yiping and others that Google and Facebook have developed supporting software for iPhones, and even Feng Yiping's Optical Industrial Park has developed ideal glass panels for iPhones.

"Where are us?" asked Page.

"For Google, we need to decide our merger and acquisition projects more carefully from now on," said Feng Yiping.

For Google, whose revenue and stock prices have been rising, they have spent a lot of money in the past two years.

Judging from the information Feng Yiping received, there are already five acquisition projects that are being discussed now, and some of them were sued by competitors such as Microsoft and Yahoo to the Federal Trade Commission (ftc).

"That is, keep the cash in your hands," Page said immediately.

"right,"

"But it is not not to acquire. Those projects that help increase our revenue, that is, projects that can promote our online advertising, still need to acquire them," said Feng Yiping.

Under such a general situation, severing expenses is naturally inevitable, but opening up the source is equally important.

Google's current revenue mainly depends on advertising.

It seems that all the problems have been solved, Feng Yiping asked them with a smile, "So, can you serve the food?"

"Go on, starve to death," said Bryn.

"Go on," said Jobs, "we have to give you a drink."

If Jobs said to have to toast, such opportunities are not often available.

Feng Yiping gave an order, and like them, turned on the phone, read text messages, and listened to messages.

"By the way Steve, how was the preparation for the press conference?" Page asked casually.

"Well," Jobs, who was also looking at his phone, responded casually. After realizing Page's problem, he frowned, "Can I let me finish this lunch easily?"

Feng Yiping and the others couldn't help but want to laugh.

Judging from his reaction, it can be said that Apple’s current preparations for this crucial press conference are unknown.

However, it is impossible to tell him the current problem. Naturally, he would not tell Feng Yiping and the others that although there are only a few days left, there is no chance that the iPhone will have problems during rehearsals, which is 0.

"I believe that there must be no problem on the day of the press conference," said Feng Yiping.

But it’s not that there will be no problem, and he doesn’t know it, because he has never paid attention to Apple’s crucial press conference.

"Well, I believe that there will be no problem in those 90 minutes of the press conference," said Jobs.

He could not accept the possibility of any problems in this press conference.

"But, are you sure, you won't come on stage to introduce Facebook?"

How much attention will be paid to this press release? It can be seen from the fact that Jobs pulled to the platform.

Not only will the presidents of Xingeler, the operators they cooperate with, but also Chief Yang and Schmidt, will also speak at the press conference.

This is naturally a support for Apple, but it is also an opportunity to promote its own products.

As the founder of Facebook and the entrepreneurial idol of young people around the world, Jobs hopes that Feng Yiping can also speak on the stage.

"I won't go on stage," Feng Yiping said with a smile. "This is the most important press conference for your Apple. If two Chinese faces appear on the stage, I am worried that it will have a bad impact on the products you release."

So that's the reason?

Jobs was stunned for a moment, "Feng, although this is not a glorious thing, your concerns do make sense."

If there are a series of Chinese people at such an important press conference as Apple, it may indeed have a bad impact.

What's more, because of the lack of negotiations with Chinese operators, Apple's first-generation iPhone has been confirmed to not enter the country.

One condition for Apple and Xingeler to cooperate is that Xingeler subsidizes Apple for every iPhone for $10.

But for my telecommunications company in the Great Heavenly Dynasty, I will help you sell your mobile phone and subsidize you? What a joke?

This is also one of the reasons why many people in China had to spend high prices to buy parallel trucks from Hong Kong at that time.

Page photographed Feng Yiping, and Brin also photographed Feng Yiping, as if she was apologizing.

No matter how much I think about it, in the United States, racial discrimination, especially discrimination against Asians, exists objectively.

Jobs took a sip of the soup, "Or what if I ask Yahoo to change someone else, let Ferro or Semer come?"

The two he mentioned were one of Yahoo's founders, that is, another chief, David Ferro.
