Rebirth
Chapter 897 The Apple Is Here, Qualcomm is Here
"What do you think of John's proposal, what does he think?" Having already left Li Feng at this time, Joe's gang leader said to Larry Ellison and Tim Cook.
"Obviously, people like your Pixar, I see, you just give Pixar to others, you can buy most of Apple shares with Pixar's money." Larry Ellison quipped.
"Larry, don't interrupt, you think that Apple's shares can be bought with money, and even if you want to buy it, unless the price is sky-high, don't forget, John is in control of more than 30% of Apple's shares.
To be honest, I am able to secure the position of Apple CEO. I really want to thank this kid for his support. However, this guy is notoriously difficult to deal with. I am worried that John will completely control Apple before I take it. , If you have a controlling stake, it will suffer."Fang Master Qiao couldn't help but said worriedly.
"Haha..., Steve, what could be the worst? According to you, John already controls more than 30% of the shares. No matter what the holding is, it is more than 30%. John wants to initiate an acquisition. You can Stop it.
John is really not short of money now, and you can guarantee that Apple's board of directors and shareholders can withstand John's dollar offensive.Now that this is the case, why don't you simply directly control a portion of Apple's shares and strive for greater voice.
Besides, John also said that before you retire, it is not enough to guarantee 100% support for you. As for after you retire, then you can't control so much, right?"Larry Ellison smiled and persuaded.
"Uh... Larry, don't you need to be so blunt?"
"Haha..."
...
Li Feng didn't know that Qiao's gang leader and Larry gave him so much attention behind his back. Of course, with Li Feng's current weight, he couldn't take it too seriously.
At this time, Li Feng's heart was also happy. In view of Apple's happiness, thinking about Apple's market value exceeding one trillion in the future, Li Feng's heart was hot, not to mention this is the layout of the future mobile terminal field.
It would be perfect if Pixar could be included in the media group this time and take advantage of the chaos to get some shares of Apple again.
At the same time, Li Feng also understood that with the previous proposal, it was obvious that Gang Leader Qiao was still very interested. Thinking of this, Li Feng couldn't help but bloom.
"BOSS, Qualcomm's Jacob and his son have arrived, I told them, do you want to pass now?" Just as he bid farewell to Joe and the others, Eric Schmidt immediately walked to Li Feng's side and was in the ear Said softly.
"Oh, great, let's go take a look." Li Feng suddenly brightened his eyes and replied happily.
"OK, go from here!"
"Let's go...!"
Speaking, under the leadership of Eric Schmidt, Li Feng walked toward the venue.
...
"Mr. Owen, and everyone, did you interrupt your conversation? Is it an honor for me to listen to your high-level comments?" Eric Schmidt took Li Feng into a group of people, and said first to speak right. Said to everyone.
"Eric, Mr. Lee, how are you, thank you for your invitation." An old man wearing glasses and looking in his early 60s replied to Eric Schmidt with a smile.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is my boss, Mr. St. John Lee. I think about Mr. Lee's situation, I don't need to introduce it to you.
BOSS, this is Mr. Owen Jacobs, one of the founders and chairman of Qualcomm, this is Dr. Paul Jacobs, the son of Mr. Owen and also a high-level Qualcomm executive, both of whom are Qualcomm’s Director and one of the original founders of Qualcomm, Franklin Antonio and Andrew Viterbi."
Eric Schmidt smiled and introduced each of Li Feng and Qualcomm.
"Everyone, welcome to the reception jointly organized by Fetion and Google. I am St. John Lee. I can call me John. I have heard a lot about Qualcomm's name. I am very optimistic about the CDMA technology that you respect. I hope to follow Everyone has a chance to cooperate." Li Feng smiled and said hello to all of Qualcomm's bigwigs.
"Hello, John, your John’s name is now even more well-known in the United States. He has been hearing all kinds of news about you, and now I finally know it. Thank you for your optimistic view of CDMA technology. If there are opportunities for cooperation between both parties, I don't think we will refuse, will we?" Old Jacobs responded with a polite smile.
Next, naturally everyone spoke out, greeting each other and commerce.
...
"Yes, John, speaking of it, we have cooperated with many of your companies. Seriously, we are not strangers anymore, are we?" Franklin Antonio, Qualcomm’s founding boss, also Said with a smile.
"Oh, I really don't know, but I am a loyal user of CDMA. My personal mobile phone uses your CDMA technology. I think it is very good." Li Feng also responded with a smile.
"John, that's the case. Now, in the military mobile phone department of Northrop Raytheon Group, your mobile phones use our CDMA technology. We are not partners." Antonio responded with a smile.
"Haha..., that's the case, Owen, Antonio, you guys have to really thank me. I proposed it after merging Raytheon." Li Feng responded with a big smile.
Qualcomm or Owen Jacobs started as a company. Before founding Qualcomm, Jacobs co-founded a communications technology company, which mainly provided communications technology security codes for the Department of Defense and Space Agency and other government agencies. And other issues.
Since its inception, the original Qualcomm also started in this area. Qualcomm’s first contract started with the signing of a CDMA technology cooperation agreement with the military. It can be said that Qualcomm has a very close relationship with the government from the beginning. of.
As for why Qualcomm was able to win orders from the military, it is very complicated. Although on the one hand, Qualcomm’s founders themselves have a certain degree of influence. After all, Jacobs and the others have been in contact with the government before Qualcomm, but even more What is important is that various exchanges of interests are naturally involved.
For example, according to Li Feng’s investigation now, among Qualcomm’s shareholders, there are some unknown investment institutions from all over the United States. Most people don’t know where these institutions came from. The former CIA and FBI executives learned part of the situation.
...
In fact, many of these institutions have the shadow of the military and high-level government behind them. If they want to get orders from the military and the government, they naturally need to cooperate with the government, and even "strengthen ties" with the senior military and government leaders of the United States. .
As a low-level member of Huaxia, Li Feng in his previous life has always heard about various corruption issues in the country, and he naturally hates it. Now Li Feng has arrived in the United States, and with his current status, he has very clearly told himself that he is so-called "the world is like a crow." "Black", in fact, if we really want to find out the corruption problem within the US, Li Feng can unceremoniously tell others that it is even more serious.
It is really necessary to check, from the White House to the Houses of the Houses of the Houses and the Houses of the Houses to the military, the Department of Defense, etc., few are innocent. However, to be honest, many of them are even directly public, such as the so-called campaign funds. Whatever you pay, you will get something.
Qualcomm has received orders from the government and the military, and naturally has to pay something accordingly. The most direct of these is naturally the company’s shares. If it really wants to announce those unknown large and small investment institutions, if the shareholders behind the scenes They are all pulled out. Perhaps the shareholders behind the investment institutions are the military, the government, or even a few top leaders.
Of course, several of Qualcomm's founders are not fuel-efficient lamps. At first, Qualcomm couldn't twist the thighs. They all recognized it in order to win government orders.
However, as CDMA began to become more and more recognized, the contradictions naturally began, and Qualcomm also introduced more and more capital institutions, continuously diluting the shares in them, which also led to the fact that Qualcomm’s shareholders have been very scattered. Although such consequences have caused the shares of Qualcomm’s founder team to be continuously diluted, it also guarantees the founder’s team’s management and leadership status for Qualcomm.
...
As for the various ways of it, today's Li Feng naturally knows them well.
Today’s communication technology is naturally still in the 2G era, or the world of GSM. Qualcomm is constantly promoting the development of CDMA technology in order to gain market recognition. However, it has to be said that the peak of Qualcomm has not come naturally, but it is already on the way to God. The way to the altar.
Naturally, just because it is in such a period of transition between the old and the new, it also gives an ambitious man like Li Feng the greatest opportunity.
